Ok
*reads entire OP*
Yep, I was right , you're just mad that people don't seem to want to fight on your terms.
Tell me, outside of a sporting event/boxing match, where in real life you've ever seen a 'fair fight'? |

After reading Remiels post I feel I can add something I have observed back in 2012 in Hek.
It sums up as... the biggest group of people act like cowards, without realizing that they are acting like cowards.
For understanding: This is equivalent to a child throwing stones at you from a safe spot, but when you reach the safespot, he tries to run away.
I have experienced this countless times as -10 floating around. People believe you're an easy target, they shoot at you and when you come back to haunt them, they dock up or warp off. I've made so many people dock up or run away just in my single 50km thrasher, that there's no shadow of a doubt about this.
People who run their mouths first and then struggle justifying why they run away.
And while they think it's smart, everybody else realizes what they really are.
Cowards.
(btw... I need to add this: I don't give a crap about fairness in combat. It's not how nature works.) "try not to be such a worthless forum dwelling piece of ****. Nobody needs to hear your worthless 2 cents." - Priestess Lin, per mail.

It's just impossible to keep track of all the names here. I realized after I posted that you had indeed engaged in the topic's discussion and so my prior version was incorrectly directed towards you. Sorry for that

We wardecced an alliance that moved into our lowsec recently just so we could shoot them in frigs and dessies without taking sentries :p
I **** you not, you can go into a system that they're in IN A POD and they all dock up quick smart. I tested it today, sat in the system they like to run missions from right on the undock in a pod. The moment I'd entered system, there were three Navy Vexor's on Dscan. A few moments later, they were gone. I docked, and they were in station. I undocked, in my pod, and sat there for almost an hour, and not one of them came out.
Then I got bored, found a wormhole in there to Caldari lowsec, and went and killed a Caracal, which marked my 500th kill in EVE :p You don't scare me. I've been to Jita.

Well for starters, when I was in highschool there were far more 1v1's drawing attention in the hallways then 2v1's and 3v1's. How about you?

OP, it's becoming more clear now where you're coming from.
Eternum Praetorian wrote:Quote:GÇ£I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live up to what light I have.GÇ¥ GÇò Abraham Lincoln
Honor and Abraham Lincoln. You do understand how Honest Abe was assassinated? Let me quote you the fella who won the War for him. It's relevant to this discussion that Grant bested Lee, even if he wasn't of superior military cunning. Grant threw sheer numbers into the meat grinder and came up victorious. "I don't underrate the value of military knowledge, but if men make war in slavish obedience to rules, they will fail." "The art of war is simple enough. Find out where your enemy is. Get at him as soon as you can. Strike him as hard as you can, and keep moving on."
Quote: ... honour ...GÇ¥ GÇò Socrates
Ah Socrates. This guy did actually serve in the military, but did you know he purposely gave himself an unpopular and defiant defense at his trial for death because of his principles? Did you know he had the chance of escape, if only he bribed the guards at his prison.
In a game like EVE, you are suggesting we be more like the fellow who chooses to take the poison?
I'm going to ignore the last quote.. not only because you're quoting a poet about the finer intricacies of war, but also because you probably (quite mistakenly) think that everything Spartans believed in is a excellent philosophy for battle. The Spartans were the uncontested masters of combat, but it does speak volumes that they are overrun and destroyed by Xerxes because they couldn't help kick some folks into a pit (a rather humorous hobby that both Athenians and Spartans shared). And no, Xerxes was not a man who knew how to fight fair. He crushed the Spartan phalanx at Thermopylae through intelligence gathered by a spy (a Greek).
Quote:You see Sibyyl, your philosophy is not the only one in the world. Nor is it the only philosophy that has won battles and emerged victorious through wars. It is however the easiest philosophy for cowards to hide behind Of course there are different philosophies. You should be free to be honorable, as others should be free to be cowards. But you're the only one here who's started a thread judging how others play. I didn't state a moral or ethical high ground (because I think the concept is ridiculous), but your thread is a monument to this kind of mistaken thinking.
All is fair in PVP. All of it. |

Where I come from a 1v1 is only because your (or his) friends aren't there yet. Apparently you grew up in some honorable wonderland.

yeah, like I said -- "lucky" (which'll never happen).

mostly UKTZ, so "weekend" would probably be the best. One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia |
