The idea that people can predict the behavior of others is threatening to you, perhaps because it make you feel like others can have some kind of strange power over you, which of course directly contradicts your highly developed ego. This is possibly a result of insecurities manifesting themselves in a video game environment, which becomes an outlet for you without consequences. You are diagnosed with classic internet Douchebag syndrome, and sadly there is no cure  Awaits for "I am done posting here because I am better than you blah blah blah" Dazzle me!
lol I made it easy for you and you still failed. No, I went to sleep. Keep on trying though, it amuses me no end. 
I am pretty sure you are also trolling.
Oh and your return key is broken. No need to thank me, just a free service I offer douchebags that I am far superior to. 
I predict you will post here once more to justify your trolololol existance rather than take the moral high ground and walk away.
Over to you, my psychobabble buddy! |

The fact that you passed out before you danced for me like a monkey on a leash does not mean that you are any less transparent.
I shall now return the topic of this thread to it's original intent. Methods people use to topple digital empires and how it ties back into reality, and the men and women sitting behind their computers.

Im unique - just like everybody else.
People play for their own reasons. Why does the reason matter? Its all some form of escape - and allows you for some moment to be something you are not in the real world. Escapisim and role play are necessary to all humans - ancient, modern, young, old, healthy, sick (sorry to hear Messenger), rich or poor, successful or downtrodden. All types watch movies and read books and become sports fans - which are similar forms of escape. Video games like eve are more akin to hiking, painting, playing sports, and knitting - still escapisim - but the escapee has some influence on the outcome. That is why I prefer those types at least (though I do enjoy a good movie or book still).
Regardless of the role they play in-game: Lemming, Maker, Soldier, Spy (or psuedo-space philosopher like OP), it is hogwash in the extreme to believe that is some predictor of how they are in the real world. Space dictators can be bag boys, and space lemmings can be millionaires. Likewise, people who understand how to manipulate others and topple space Empires can have lots of free time because they arent working. They would never behave that way in the real world. Success/failure in Eve does not translate over. You know how to manipulate/influence people in a Video game. Nothing more.
TLDR: Its a game, enjoy it as such. Choose your role and have fun. But dont presume you are some hot-**** in the real world or have unlocked the secrect to the human condition if you have created/toppled empires here. Literally, your accomplishments can be undone by someone hitting a DELETE key somewhere. Its pretend. That is why it is fun. Enjoy. |

My theory: most crack-pot, unfalsifiable theories about others are simply people expressing what scares them into denial when they look in the mirror. People who respond like this to the idea of psychology, tend to not like what psychology has to say about them and so they get angry at the very idea of it. It's fairly common place, even though said individuals think themselves somehow unique and original in the world. Many are also on medication to correct certain special personality traits. ADHD and depression, Marduk? That would be my first guess.
Actually, I happen to think that perhaps psychology is worthwhile though it could use a more scientific outlook. Until a better way comes along though we're stuck with it. My bet is that neuroscience will overtake it eventually.
However, calling some random Internet guy's attempt to psycho-analyze everyone in the world based on no more information than that they do or don't play an MMO and for how long though is about as psychological as you attempting to psycho-analyze me because I sardonically called it a bunch of BS. It's facile projection, which was proven out; dude's unhappy with his lot and I really don't blame him. I'm empathetic, but that doesn't mean his "psychological" statements have any value.
I really hope you guys don't take your useless blathering as seriously as you seem to. |

It is always interesting to see contradicting opinions from individuals, who would, under the same conditions, behave in the exact manner described in the provided youtube video. There are variations of course, and there is no one exact way it would unfold, but the end result would be the same. The average outcome is predictable among the vast majority of participants. That is what seems to elude you.
It is not just delusion, it is an honest lack of self knowledge that makes people do that.
Often enough times however it is a result of willful denial.

Exactly, and that is why it is important. That is where latent tendencies can manifest themselves in an environment free of consequence. But I don't feel like explaining to you why, it is too tiresome dealing with tiny-closed minds. Maybe you can use google if your curious about it?

You simply have too small of a view is all, and I did not say anything about success or failure in eve. Go back and read it again, and try watching the video.
You have drawn to your own conclusions that seem to have nothing to do with the content of the "psuedo-space philosopher like OP's" post. That means that at the very least you have reading comprehension issues, or, alternatively, you have a closed mind that cannot look past it's own forgone conclusions.

All great wars in history have ended do to the use of the "disband alliance button." This is then promptly followed up by "taking the name" of the vanquished empire so they could never reform.
Eve is real!
Make faction war occupancy pvp instead of pve

Come to think of it lol
Why do they need to take the alliance name? The game does not let you make duplicate names, so if you close the alliance does it not render the name unusable forever more? 
Or is it just a screw you kind of thing...

Of course it's lol.
The whole premise that someone who gets famous in a computer game by using an entirely unrealistic "disband alliance button" game mechanic, therefore feels he is qualified to pontificate on Sun Tzu's art of war is lol.
Seeing all the mopes lapping this up makes me chuckle. Thank you mittani for the entertainment.

Your return key is still broken. You should really fix that.
And still trying to justify your trolololol existance I see? LMFAO!
Ok folks, we should all just bow down to our might Forum Overlord now. He's clearly 'won' EVE and can predict our every move.
If he actually logged in, he'd own all of null with his uncanny ability to 'read' people thus render all forms of opposition useless. Well he would if anyone would follow a pretentious ***** 
And Mittani is God. I'd vote for him for CSM...oh wait... |
