When I was a child, I remember shooting other kids with my Super Soakers and Nerf guns.
Do I need to get diagnosed?
Can I still go to Heaven?
This one time I played Monopoly with this guy, he was SOOOO toxic, he built hotels on Boardwalk and Park Place, and then when I landed there he tried to charge me RENT. Like wtf. He said I had to pay, but I told him NO WAY JOSE. Don’t tell me how to play my game. These bullies think they can do whatever they want, but just ignore them.

No. I don’t think you know what a straw man is. I was just using an analogy to explore the degrees of violence.
I would simply be remiss if I failed to point out how you went from “players” to “things”. Thats not a strawman. Its a red flag.
Neither was my basketball analogy a straw man. That’s just essentially what’s going on.
But I will say again, its the desire to extract grief that is the main proof of simply being a bully. And that is most easily proven in chats rather than ganks.
How is consciously downloading and installing a game, making a user account, logging in, and playing it, the same thing as walking past a basketball court with absolutely no intention to play basketball?
You’re crazy.
…you are either invited to play directly or did the inviting. You are looking your opponent straight in the eyes. Nobody ever looks at you dumbfounded asking “Why did you kill my queen? She was just trying to get to A4!”
Go now, as an adult, and shoot some nerf darts at people you don’t even know.

EVE is a PvP game. If you play the game, you consent to PvP.
I routinely do that when I go paintballing.
You just changed nerf to paintball and park to some other place.
My meaning of people you don’t know is perfect stranger, not some guy you didn’t talk to but saw in the staging area.
Calm down Gnosis miner.

It’s the same thing.
Nope, a stranger is a stranger. Most of the time you can’t even see their face because they;'re wearing a mask.
That should be stated in the sign up process. But since its not, there is confusion, and therefore sometimes no consent.
I have literally advocated for pop ups to eliminate any and all confusion. Of course you can turn them off. Do you agree that measures should be taken to ensure that players are fully aware of your contention?
Everybody knows that EVE is a PvP game. You know. Stop crying.

No its not. How clear do I have to be?
Go to a city park in your town and shoot some people you don’t know and never saw before with Nerf darts having a picnic and shoot at them at least 10 times regardless what they say or do. See how that goes.
Hey man, if you genuinely know some people who started playing EVE completely unintentionally (like, they didn’t mean to download the game, make an account, turn the game on, create a character, choose a name, etc.) but somehow just kind of found themselves playing it one moment, can you send them my way? I have some questions I’d really like to ask them.
Thank you. But I hardly think I am equivalent to everybody.
Part of the problem here is that your interpretation of what PVP is is very different from the average new player. You cannot consent to what you don’t understand.
Also you claim “everybody knows” but that’s based on what? Is that written somewhere in sign up process??
Renly, if you have a problem with the sign up process, you need to take that up with CCP. Stop spamming the forum with your tears.

You keep changing things up. Of course they intentionally signed up for EVE but so many did know what they were getting into.
If you move here to Japan and move into a house, even just a rental house, some crap head will knock on your door and expect you to wake up at 6 am to deliver community flyers. You can refuse, but if you do you will become the community pariah. Its just one of those annoying details nobody thinks to tell you and you could not guess on your own.
In the same way, people who sign up for EVE and play for a few days don’t think their worthless venture is going to get blown up by a single random catalyst in high security space.
I am going to take that as a “no”, you don’t want people to be informed. You want to sit there insisting they are, while knowing they are not, so you can continue to smack the unsuspecting and extract their grief.
They were simple enough questions. Your avoidance of them is rather telling.
No Renly, I do not care.
If you have a complaint about CCP’s policies, you can submit a support ticket.
Good luck!
I still don’t understand how downloading a game that advertises PvP, warfare, and piracy on the front page of its website is the same as walking past a basketball court in a suit and getting pegged in the face with a ball. You’re going to have to explain that one to me. Use simple words, I’m a PvPer after all.
