EvE is actually quite specifically a “PvP Sandbox” not a Sandbox. The extra word there makes all the difference. It is a sandbox within the indicated constraints of “PvP”.

Yeah I like that too I just didn’t want to use it since I’m not sure if that was ever actually an official thing. Got a source?

What’s the difference? That kicking sand in other players’ eyes and knocking over their sandcastles is sanctioned and valid gameplay. But it is no more bad or good than calling a player who does them an [expletive deleted]. And we’re back at square 1.

By your broken logic (again having to re-explain things slowly for you) anyone who beats you at any game counts as “kicking sand in eyes and knocking over sandcastles” and makes someone a bad person. When someone “kills” you in EvE they are not breaking any rules, just playing the game as it’s meant to be played. No evidence of bad people until someone goes outside the EULA (CCP slap such people with bans pretty quick).

Basically you’re still talking total rubbish and even more importantly, still a bit butt-hurt about a video game. Show me on the doll where the nasty game touched you.

Show where CCP has ever used that in its marketing material.

You can do what you want, when you want, but only within the context of the rules and under the influence of others. No one in the game can shape the game to be what they want.

There are a handful of players that can rely on the support of thousands of others to influence what the game is, but that doesn’t include anyone in this thread and they still can’t shape the game to be what they want.

Its pedantic, but I think EVE doesnt well fit the description of a “sandbox”, and never has.

There are very little means to shape the sand of this game, as the boxed environment we play in.  
Its more about how we interact with each other in that box, and the sand just happens to be under our feet.

EVE is all about the players, and very little about the sand.

Actually it’s the other way round.

Nature itself _seems_ unfair and cruel to the weak and genetically inferior (in context of evolution). You can figure out yourself what certain people probably thus think about evolution and nature itself.

EVE is neither unfair, nor cruel. EVE is the fairest game of them all, because everyone has the equal chance of protecting himself. The dumb and too soft, who people like the sugar coated chocolate thingy called M&M want to protect, are the only ones ever complaining about the game, because OF COURSE they think the game is unfair. They are the equivalent of the genetically inferior who should be dieing out.

EVE is fair. People are too soft and dumb. Thank you, politics.

If it hurts your feelings to be called “the villain” then stop being “the villain”. Don’t blame the game for your choices and the results of those choices.

YOU are unfair. YOU are cruel. So?

I don’t even really care, but you scheme and backstab and “metagame” and use politics and then you cry foul when someone calls you out about it. You’re a [expletive deleted] head. If you don’t like being called a [expletive deleted], then don’t be a [expletive deleted] head. You talk about butthurt and crying, but that’s exactly what I hear from you. “Waaaaaah. I’m not a meanie. I’m a really nice guy in real life. It’s true. If you asked my mommy, she would tell you so.”

I don’t care if you be nice or not. But don’t piss on my leg and tell me it’s raining. Harden the [expletive deleted] up.

Nobody cares who gets called the villain. It’s when you pretend being the villain in a game makes you a villain in real life that you get mercilessly mocked like currently.

This is the 201st post in a thread where most of the posters are complaining that someone is being called the villain.

Does your statement reflect reality?
