The facts are you are good at a video game. You use this skill to look and talk down to others -- people who have played just as much and have just as much invested in their corps and friends -- then wonder why people react negatively.
If you ever spoke to me in real life like you speak to this forum, I, too, would pound your face in. That's how life outside your mom's basement goes....where your anonymity and condescension are safely hidden. |

That's how life outside your mom's basement goes....where your anonymity and condescension are safely hidden. If you believe I consider any of your persona's here an actual representation of your real personality, then you're either new to the internet or just enjoy tunnel vision. No one in this game is a bad person in real life, and I would take nothing said on a video game forum into reality to hurt someone over. As far as tone goes in real life - if I'm speaking to you like this, I'm probably already ready to smash your face in myself, so, uh, thx for the comparison? But this tone doesn't translate the same emotionally for me online as you would expect in reality, I'm much less emotionally involved here. When the screen turns off - so does any feelings for this forums, minimal as they already were. Only thing I care about is my Corp and my enjoyment of this game.
I fully recognize and was pointing to the difference between forum games and real life.
That said, I've found over the years that there are strong correlations between the two (i.e. in-game and in real life) -- and they tend to be inversely related. Said a bit more directly, those who talk a good forum game tend to not amount to much in real life. Having read your posts for a while now, I'll wager you are no different in this regard.
Moving on, I find it curious and a bit hypocritical for you to draw the line at caring about "my Corp and my enjoyment of this game", yet fail to realize (or care?) your in-game and forum antics affect others in a negative way.
That said, I doubt my posts will do much to change your awareness or behavior, but I do think it need to be said.
Take care...Leadfoot |

But when you slander my group without basis - you will get return fire. If you want to judge me based on my arguments against slanderous commentors then do so, I do not give a flying **** about tunnel vision people. If anyone is willing to support your tunnel vision - then they aren't people I want to work with either.
That is not to say I do not care what the community thinks - I do, but you can't expect me to sit here and take this.
All I'm saying is you should consider choosing your words more wisely, even those who you dismiss as having "tunnel vision".
I do salute you for speaking your mind on DNSBlack and AE, and of course you should fire back if fired upon.
Sometimes it's not what you say but how you say it, Sota.

That's a very good question, and one that I've given quite a bit of thought to. However, you asked Thor, not me, so I'll allow him to respond before commenting further.

All I'm saying is you should consider choosing your words more wisely, even those who you dismiss as having "tunnel vision". Perhaps you don't care, but I am suggesting you should. I do salute you for speaking your mind on DNSBlack and AE, and of course you should fire back if fired upon -- but words and actions are two different things, and some can't get past your position and words. Sometimes it's not what you say but how you say it, Sota. You're right, thank you for taking the time to share this with me. I will take it into consideration as I post from here on out.
Thank you for being open to the idea. I appreciate it.
