... you'll mark him as "******* ******** *******," instead, right? :P

Wait... when did you stop being an "*******?"

Damn... I missed it!
Feb 04, 2006 Whistler link
Nobody called you that, despite your claim to the contrary, but you did choose to act in ways that might annoy most players. You continued to act even after people told you that you were being an annoyance.

I think it's good that you are feeling the ire of the community - that's a good sign for a community.

Miharu said it first ^^ (no prize for guessing/knowing that)
Feb 05, 2006 genka link
Okay, really, if you're gonna take miharu's word for it you need to get your head re-examined.
Feb 05, 2006 sarahanne link
zamzx zik. I don't hate you. There, now you know the whole universe isn't against you.
Feb 05, 2006 zamzx zik link
heh, they dont hate me, I'm just annoying them.

anyway, get back on topic!
Feb 05, 2006 Harry Seldon link
If you're going to post snippets of conversation proving we don't like you, don't expect people to. You're only reinforcing your reputation.
Feb 06, 2006 zamzx zik link
I was talking to sherpa, geez. ignore that; I want this settled, so pleeease, just tell me everything you dont like about me >.<
Feb 06, 2006 Whistler link
I don't like that you do things that clearly irritate nearly everyone around you and then complain bitterly when they respond negatively to you. This is how communities work.

Also, I didn't see that Miharu had called you a name and would have intervened had I seen it, or had you been a little more helpful than "scroll up". As for the other incidents, you used the word to describe yourself many times during that conversation. So I don't like that you wouldn't act to let me assist you, and that you paste a big ol' hangin' label on yourself and then object when others use it.

Is this for real?
Feb 06, 2006 yodaofborg link
Ahhhh, I get it now, BG was disrupting the (or trying to) Deneb run, and Mih and co didnt like it, cos they were racing!

Oh, heres a list Zam.

in stead of complaining about his actions... I don't see why planting mines at a station is that much different from wormholecamping which has been strenghtened with the latest vulnerability while jumping or while jumping in and that has only been looked upon as being ok and in dire need for a pirate to survive... i contineously see 2 measures being used... 1 for pirates and one other for anybody else... Since hey, if you take out his ability to plant mines there you will be hurting blackholes power in actively putting bread on his shelves. And grey space is supposed to be dangerous... if you can't handle it then snuff it... so if anybody can tell me why blackhole should receive the ire of the community if other people don't get the ire of the community but do things just as funrobbing from other people...

Although, I would wonder why the sf firstly don't shoot the mines. Secondly he doesn't end up being kos with that faction so he can't dock and replant them and thirdly the runners don't hire an anti blackhole escort, maybe even paying off a pierat to shoot down the lightning mines... they go down pretty easy with a tach you know, faster then blackhole can plant them...

Ow and forthly, the remark I always get thrown towards my head if i make a remark about pirating or anything else in greyspace: you carebear... stop being so whiny, grey is supposed to be dangerous, so if you can't handle it then don't enter it... hire an escort if needed...

EDIT:

this rant felt darnish good...

Whistler, you mean me asking for corrections and stuff? yep, its real..

Because...

1) You can't lose Corvus faction EVEN IF you kill an Admired character within the NFZ. The only way to permanently lose Corvus faction is to abort missions, and even then, Corvus standing will not (because of a GAME FEATURE) go below -600, making it impossible to make him permanently KOS in a Corvus station where the race starts.

2) The SF weren't shooting the mines because he placed them *inside* the station. They were issuing instead trying to get to the things.

Whistler:

The issue was that instead of being an intelligent and POLITE player, he was l-mining the station BEFORE the race, which could have ended up in EVERYONE losing the ship they had intended to race in and needing to go off and get another, meaning a LARGER delay in starting the race than there was because of the false starts. Then, he blatantly ignores the "No combat until the racers have left M-14" rule, and launches mines as the players start the race while they are still in M-14.

And the problem with "everyone hating Blackhole" is that there is still a LOT of Alpha/Beta-time sentiment about him being a jerk (That's putting it lightly), which spreads around to the new players because, well, the alpha players have a nasty tendency to be right about lots of game mechanics and other stuff, so why wouldn't they be right about this? On top of that, he's not doing ANYTHING to try and change that image. He's just doing what he did during alpha, what he did during beta, and it is further entrenching him into the title of "Asshole". So yeah, I guess it is my fault for starting that avenue of chatter in M-14, but unless he actively tries to change his reputation instead of making it worse and worse and worse, the issue will continue to crop up. Again, and again, and again.

Harry Seldon:

Yep, that about sums it up for the case of this thread.
