No, Duncan, I am not surprised. And I'll be more inclined to trust my instincts next election when candidate tones begin to change. Better to place weight in past behavior than promised behavior.

Exactly. you failed voter 101. You need to ignore everything a candidate has done after they have declared that they are running for office. Because they will always, always, revert to form, once elected.

But, but but.... I put up information on how to contact me... if that's ignored how will I fulfill my role? Sad

(Okay, yes, my quips aside support or lack thereof is best based on the broad scope of someones behavior and actions because regardless of sincerity or intent behavior patterns are after all patterns and if one has previously assessed the patterns to be something they don't support giving a substantial lead time before assessing that a new pattern has overwritten the old one is likely well advised.)

Hopefully this same reasoning will save me if I ever get into a kitteny mood and let it spill onto the forums Lol

(On a related note if I ever do that remind me to get my head on straight, even if something is upsetting that is - in my estimation - no reason to be overtly emotive about it. At minimum such dramatics are ineffective more often than not, and at worst are detrimental in a more general sense.)

I'm pretty sure it's possible to draw a reverse correlation between video game competency and IRL competency. Good at Video Games = Bad at Life To be fair... anything where being unemployed and/or a child gives you a serious leg up on your competition is probably not a good measure of capability. A while back my KDR started creeping up so I really took some time to focus on my career and home life... and now everything is awesome, I have a job I could've only dreamed about a few years ago and wouldn't have believed you if you told me in high school. And I finally decided to get my motorcycle license! So the next time you find yourself looking up another players Corp History or KDR for comparison to yourself I want you to picture explaining what you're doing to a girl or guy at a club when they ask what you do all day... Normally this is where I'd draw the comparison to it being like the "smartest kid on the short bus" but I've been around special needs kids and they're actually less prone to grandstanding than we are. Note: This isn't really targeted at anyone specifically, but I came back and this place had more dks waving about than chat-roulette so I felt the need to comment. I'm 29 years old; I have a house, a partner, a career... I have a lot of things but a f**k to give just isn't one of them. We'll bang, OK?

It happens to me ALL THE TIME, especially when in a dropship. It also does NOT happen with ANY other game I play on PS3. I am convinced the issue is the following: The 'tolerance' setting for the DS3 is VERY VERY Granular. I have this hunch that in an effort to have tighter controls they've set the analog settings for the buttons to be too sensitive, allowing certain amounts of static or even squeezing the controller to set off certain buttons. The saddest part of all is that the D-PAD soooo doesn't need any special sensitivity. Eitherway, it's a common bug that happens to us all, you are not alone. Many have tried to get it fixed, but it's not easily reproduced. Hey Ru, I forgot to ask before, have you submitted this as a bug ticket or in the tech forum?

Arkena Wyrnspire Fatal Absolution Negative-Feedback 23452	Posted - 2015.04.25 15:12:00 - [34347] - Quote Before I start, I'm actually pretty irritated at the sudden influx of, ahem, 'tourists'. I'd intended to simply elaborate on the point of xenophobia in the barbershop before bringing up more provocative points that were tangentially related that I'd been feeling for a while. Having certain enthusiastic individuals cough cat cough reading the thread and deciding that what I had posted was 'glorious', suddenly it was linked everywhere, at which point a bunch of people come in to agree with me. This immediately turned the whole thing into an us vs them situation, something where nobody is honestly going to come any closer to understanding anyone else's concerns and everyone just gets angry. Let me paraphrase this sequence of events. Cat: I know what'll really support your views against clannishness and xenophobia! Me: wut Cat: Let's bring our own clan in and start a forum war! MRW this occurs Adipem Nothi wrote: If you believe this thread to be cancerous, then why is it that you're always here? Do you find it cancerous at all times, or only at times when your friends come under scrutiny? "Outsiders" pop in regularly and -- so long as they don't post or pitch something stupid or false -- they are generally well received. Have you considered the possibility that your friends might be better received if they didn't show up saying stupid and/or false things? You misunderstand. I don't find you all to be entirely reprehensible individuals who are to be avoided at all costs. In general, I find the banter here entertaining. However, I can't stand attempting to discuss most game balance here, because the atmosphere is honestly just so anti-everything else that it's really not worth the hassle. You may think that's an unfair point. If you do, I invite you to address my initial points here: Arkena Wyrnspire wrote: This place is very hostile to outsiders. When someone who isn't a regular comes in and says something that the clannish group here doesn't agree with, there are immediate complaints about 'tourists'. Derogatory labels are applied to other classes and weapons - it's not enough to just call rifles, 'rifles', they have to be called 'Fine Rifles'. This is one of the few places on the forums where I genuinely see people trying grudgematches, where people drag up months old posts and attack others over it - particularly when said 'others' are filthy gaijin daring to speak in the sacred land. I joke about 'The Dossier', but the inspiration for recording posts (albeit, I hope, in a much more civil manner) came from the bickering here. Now. I have further quibbles. Firstly, going back to the love of grouping the evil outsiders, I would like to address your continuous insistence that I must be one of the 'Team Gallente All-Stars' and therefore hideously biased in favour of all Gallente gear. I strive to avoid bias, and though I post very pro-Gallente in FW and RP debates, I challenge you to find a single post within the past month in which I have proposed a distinctly pro-Gallente balance change that you feel is due to bias. For each post you find, I will either prove you wrong or link ten pro-scout posts in which posters in the barbershop have made suggestions coloured by their own bias. Secondly, and I suppose my defence of Kirk here is hardly likely to convince you I'm not just here because my friends are, since you insist on repeatedly bringing it up that quote of Kirk's is taken wildly, wildly out of context. The actual post in question is defending flux grenades. Why are you bashing on someone for defending the breach assault rifle and quoting posts completely unrelated to it? Kirk didn't help himself when he made what would otherwise be an entirely reasonable defence of himself when he explained his viewpoint on the breach AR (which, notably, was not in defence of the old breach AR and even advocated specific nerfs) rather than pointing out how absurdly out of context that post was, I suppose, but given you didn't even bother quoting the actual post but instead quoted someone else taking that post in dubious context you can hardly blame people for misunderstanding. Adipem Nothi wrote: Kirk picks a post-patch (and broken) Breach AR, notices he's wrecking face with it at minimal effort and concludes ... I'm really good at Dust. He looks around and notices that a high percentage of other mercs are also wrecking face with Breach ARs. Kirk proceeds to the Forums, sees that people are complaining about a Gallente gun, and begins to defend it tooth-and-nail. When it becomes clear that the Breach AR is not fine, he rallies with other Team Gallente All-Stars to assure us that everything is in fact fine because reasons. So this is, in fact, a completely unfair and factually incorrect summary of a situation, misquoting a misquote. It does aggravate me to see such a zealous put-down of someone for reasons that are entirely unjustified, and in part yes, that is one of the reasons I felt the need to vent my disgust with some aspects of this thread. Kaeru Nayiri wrote: Arkena, rather than argue against that I will only ask that, in that case, we endeavor to make the Barbershop a better place. I will also challenge anyone to find a place where there is NO such type of posts from time to time. Agreed on your first line. On the second, though, I don't feel that's an acceptable excuse. To use an analogy, is it okay for your country to be very racist if there is no country that isn't racist at all? I'm now out of characters, so I'll leave it here for now. I do hope that this time this doesn't immediately turn into a 'fetch the reinforcements, it's a clan blood feud' situation. Supreme Forum Warrior Gallente Guide

I agree fully with this critique however it must be noted that this critique, with full potency and accuracy can be equally leveled at all part of the forms, and to be even more blunt at most posters at least once or twice. Common abuse of language to apply a "subtlety" derogatory undercurrent is often done at only a pseudo conscious level I will grant, and sometimes done with a measure of humor (if satirical humor so still mocking). "Derpship" "Killer Bee" "Bullet hose" "n00b tube" "wall hack" "perma scan" Or the even less masked "EZ-mode-[weapon name]" "Assault 514" "Scout 514" "Tank 514" Most of these are evoked by a frustrating experience with whatever the object of derision is, and in that light *may* serve as an accurate indicator that something is out of balance (the rage over the TAR as an AV weapon for example certainly was rage but it did in fact come from a very valid concern over a game imbalance) however accurate or not the hyperbole simply serves no valid constructive purpose and in fact is detrimental to the very discussion of balance that is usually claimed as the intent of all parties involved. If I consider the communications which I am personally privy to involving many parties in this current discussion I could easily call out more than one on doing this exact thing (I'm talking individuals here not groups) but I will only call out myself because to be blunt "naming and shaming" as a forum or discourse tactic is petty at best. So to call out myself, during this month I referred to the use of stacked Myos as running a "tigger" fit. It was done off the cuff and at the time I considered myself to be acting for humors sake as much as anything but I recognized how the tone of such once off labeling smacked of bias and responded by posting a thread seeking community feedback on the issue. Let me be very clear here, while that thread was posted with a "CPM" tag on it and will certainly be feedback I forward to CCP I would have posted it even were I not a CPM because I value correcting my own bias and the way to do that is to seek information with an open mind and calm heart *especially* in areas where personal investment is present. Calling someone out for having bias is akin to calling someone out for having a nose, it is not the presence of any that matters or is relevant, rather it is the individuals ability and willingness to engage beyond the scope of their own interests, something that you can (and I believe should) challenge individuals to do but that you cannot force individuals to do. I'll paraphrase for a moment Quote: The most effective way to make someone identify with and defend a group is to attack them as an assumed member of it. When communicating, regardless of the topic or the format, asking what you intend to achieve by your communications is fundamental and vital (though sadly not requisite). Choices made without knowing what result is sought, what goal is to be attained, are not actions but relegated to the preview of the reactionary. Reaction is fine for burns, smothering, and other contexts of immediate peril, they keep us alive. Out side of that context they are a detriment to understanding, growth and development as they lack the facility to draw new information, behavior, or experience into the enacted trends, rather they merely replicate what is already present lending themselves to entrenchment and stagnation. No one is perfect, be it group or individual. As that is a universal constant it is also no excuse for not seeking to improve upon ones own behavior, a responsibility incumbent upon each of us personally and best left to each individual rather than application of punitive social actions. This is an "off topic" sub-forum of a video game forum. It is an internet medium and largely anonymous. It grants access to people of many races, ages, nations, etc. Keeping it light hearted isn't unreasonable, keeping the larger scope of our lives as a primary focus is likely healthy. But none of that means the actors here are NPCs, that this social context is an implication free "mini-game" or that our choices hold no implications. Out of sight (behind a keyboard) may be out of mind, but it isn't fiction. I would encourage everyone, as I do myself, to make the conscious effort to be considerate and rational in interactions. This should in fact be easier on the internet because when we are overwrought we can turn on "push to talk", click "hide poster", take a break form the keys, etc. /end serious post back to more fun topics Cheers, Cross CPM 1 mail me your feedback and remember to have fun!
