Don’t think we would forum PvP either, especially if that would mean fulfilling your related desire… especially not for free, so if anything you should pay each of us 1 bil ISK to consider it. 😏 ---

Not sure which you refer to but either way I don’t recall any interaction with Aiko on the forums (and had no interaction beyond it afaik) as forum PvP (or any other kind). Maybe I’m too used to (forum) banter as being regular part of conversations since the several decades I frequent various forums for various amounts of times and always found this to be normal activity to lesser or greater extent. Not everyone partakes in such but usually there are at least some who do and it is nothing special to them just part of usual business. It is somewhat similar to how you “roleplay” on the forums, it is a stylistic choice and matter of personality, nothing personal or such. Though some might not recognize this I guess. Unless one considers that as forum PvP, but I personally consider it as just having fun while forum PvP (as any other kind) is to achieve victory (still could be for fun and not in a serious manner but still a competitive style act which I don’t consider some banter to be when it’s more for the sake of having a laugh instead of trying to win an argument and whatnot). That’s the best way I can describe it. ---
