Like I said. When you plop a real life funeral into a fictional setting, it becomes fictional for everyone else…

I wonder if the funeral activists would grief my funeral!
What type of person would gank a funeral, in-game, for someone who died in real life?
If Gankers did such a thing and then laughed about it and then hid behind the game mechanics, there is,something seriously wrong with such a person.

So, basically when you tell everyone to drop what they are doing and come running to gank for you and your throne, then thats crossing the line.
I’m in charge, so I do as I please.

Would your funeral, get ganked?
There’s a flaw in your logic, Bennington.
Applying and enforcing RL moral standards to a fictional setting…
Doesn’t really work. And all it does is show how immature a person is when they can’t delineate fiction from non-fiction.

CCP should have ships in the forms of a casket and hearse. That would be fun to blow up.

I’m going to have the entire rest of my time in Eve be one long funeral cortege for my dead parrot, which had started to learn the expression ’ jump…damnit !’ and thus was clearly getting the hang of Eve. As I miss Percy the parrot sooo much now that he has ceased pining for the fjords and shuffled off his mortal coil, I think it only reasonable that his funeral cortege be allowed to haul 300bn worth of implants and injectors through Uedama without being ganked. I mean…nobody has any evidence Percy ever existed, let alone that he died, so this has to be the ultimate Eve scam.
I can’t think of a better safe hauling strategy than endless ‘funeral corteges’.

We can have a funeral everytime a capsuleer blows up, that way I can finally haul in peace.

That’s what interested me about this. The people attending the event are not attending a funeral - they’re playing a video game. And the person who ganks them is doing the same. You can choose to commemorate someone by playing a game - I’ve done it myself by attending a party in Stormwind to celebrate the life of a departed WoW player. But I’d never expect other players to consider such an event as being wholly comparable to a real life funeral. The vitriol in that Reddit thread really surprised me.

EvE has a large number of “players” who never really play the game, and spend most of their time complaining and wishing EvE was some other game.

A group of people gathering to mourn the passing of a comrade is just as real in digispace as it is when happening in meatspace.

An apt description of the people posting in this forum in general and the people posting in this thread in particular.

A funeral requires a flesh-n-bone body, the body that exists in real life. The body to respect in real life.
EvE ≠ real life.
In the game the Capsuleers are immortal so there can’t possibly be a funeral. And holding one in a space game where ships are for blowing up is only taunting the other players who play the game as they should while the “mourners” masquerade as grieving. It’s disingenuous at best.

That’s one of the stupidest things I’ve read in a long time.

You’re only saying that because I liked Aiko’s post.
Don’t be so jealous, I still have likes for you… whenever you post something that makes sense.
