Ethical lectures from SKV...

Bojan seems to have gone very quiet on the ethical superiority of SKV . We are moving into the christmas period, many vets will return .

Surely we should have another lecture from SKV about how they are the ethical guardians of VO and how we should all play by the rules that SKV dictate rather than by the rules the devs allow ?

Really we mere traders and miners could do with a refresher about our ethical inferiority. And of course we have many new players, Bojan should explain to them that SKV considers itself to be moral of guardians of VO rather that the folk that actually make and run the game.

After all, if SKV don't step up to the mark and give us another lecture then the playerbase might start to think that all that ethical crap was just to gain a tactical advantage at a specific point in gameplay. To support their support tickets as it were. They might even begin to see the hypocrisy behind SKVs ethical stance. Now that would never do would it ...

I agree, a VO without SKV Ethical Superiority lectures is truly something to be lamented.

this is a great tall tale, SKV with ethics ? that would mean TRS always tells the truth or that FAMY isn't rats..

There have been those, lately, who have espoused the opinion if that if some gameplay mechanic within the game is exploitable in some way, then it must be "fair game", because "it's the dev's fault that it exists, until they fix it!". Allow to me clarify that notion:

Exploitation of a bug, flaw, or inherent issue in this game, always comes with the potential for an administrative response. The more egregious the exploit, the harsher the response, up to and including being permanently banned from this game.


-Incarnate from a recent news post

Just because it's in the game, doesn't mean the devs intended for you to use it.

Why do you care about christmas or the vets anyway, ecka? Don't you usually spend your christmas swimming alone in the TGFT bank filled to the brim with the money that you gained by, ahem, unethical methods?

Ethical deficiencies in the player behind Ecka appears to be the correct explanation.

In other news, how we'd all like to see the [TGFT] party end:

You guys need to learn to relax and have a good time!

But you can't!

Cause everyone's an idiot!

Who says this isn't our way of relaxing and having a good time?

Bojans inability to reply to what was a simple question without resorting to RL personal insult sums up SKVs inability to back up their original stance of ingame ethical superiority. How is EP doing these days anyway ?

Incarnate : I posted in General since Bojans original thread claiming that they held ethical superiority over the rest of the actions of the playerbase rather than the devs was posted in General where it remains. I therefore posted in General, to have posted in RP would have surely been considered demeaning and insulting both the devs and to bojan ?

RP is fun and all but you don't sound like this is fun for you. A dig on the devs serves no purpose but to annoy them. Don't push for more forum moderation, that's just one more thing to do. I want them happy and serene so they can produce at their peak efficiency, and so that they are happy and serene for themselves too.

I am starting to have serious doubts about your ability to form coherent thoughts or understand written words.

You were obviously trying to refer to this threads, but the purpose completely escapes me:

Discussion about ethical use of plug-ins in VO

Phaser, please unlock?

I thought we finished that discussion with your legendary final statement:

We will use any trick the devs allow us to get one over on the rest of you. Shove your ethics.

If you wanted to expand on it and add something new - then please do.

I don't think the discussion on your ethical superiority can ever really be finished, Bojan.... unless you quit.

Can you please double check who started this thread, greenwall?

"I am starting to have serious doubts about your ability to form coherent thoughts or understand written words."

QED.

I keep referring new players your thread on the ethical superiority of SKV, they keep joining TGFT. The more personal insults you apply to TGFT members the more popular we become.

Please continue.

lel. You think TGFT is popular, you poor deluded old bastard.

Your newb retention rate is exactly 0. Please, tell me more about TGFT's success.

@Ecka

There were no personal insults in my replies, I just expressed my genuine concern for your mental wellbeing since your initial post was kind of an unintelligible babble.

And as far this goes:
I keep referring new players your thread on the ethical superiority of SKV, they keep joining TGFT. The more personal insults you apply to TGFT members the more popular we become.

If this has any merit whatsoever then I am very happy for you.
TGFT becoming popular among intellectually challenged players is a dream come true. I sincerely hope you will instantly get at least 100 new members from this crowd you are becoming so popular with.

I have genuine concern for someone so pathological they would engage in actions that inevitably led to many people leaving / unsubbing from VO, including several of your own allies. Good thing you have mental health care providied by the university you teach your ethics lectures at!
