Here are a list of things [ONE] was called after a battle in B8 where we defending ourselves.

1) youre griefing.
2) worse than ratting.
3) you griefed me.
4) youre bored a**holes who grief and camp the nation u r nationalist of.

The game is called Vendetta Online, not White Light Knights of the Holy Field Farm Simulator.

Get with the times. Also, the explanation please. Because when i started playing this game, It was explained to me that there are no griefers in this game.

k thx bye

A griefer is someone you don't like/hurt your feelings.

Welcome to VO!

Too bad bitch.

You are SWA fighting void. In Serco clothing

Most of the playerbase can acclaim to numbers 1-4 being true.

Im so amazed our one player online managed to almost kill your goli, and u ended up bringing 3 capships to b8.

Dont be shitheads. Doesnt matter if you fight other shitheads.

If void wants to help let em have it, the fact you are trying to smear a new guild, small guild, full of not much players at all, says all there is to be about this issue.

ONE are griefers!

They kill me causing me to buy new ships.
When I try to kill them I lose ..it's not fair.
They kill pirates who would gladly take my money

They shoot me if I try to take their Conq station. Which everyone should be able to use because that's how you build the end game ship.
They think just because they are good they can shoot me for doing things against their guild. Griefers.

Griefer

I'd say that description pretty much exactly describes what ONE does.

Wikipedia wins!

It's not our fault that you aren't organized or skilled enough to take down a Goliath, and this was the result of your efforts:



I guess the defense of our capitol ships makes us griefers by your logic?

Greenwallie:

You just lost the game by citing wikipedia.

Also, everyone else just lost the game because of this post.

Anywho that Wiki page basically says that every player in VO is a griefer. And the devs are the biggest griefers of them all.

Also that page says "Space sims like Eve Online and Elite: Dangerous have incorporated activities typically considered griefing as part of the gameplay mechanism. Corporate spying, theft, scams, gate-camping, and PVP on non-PVP players are all part of their gaming experience."

I would place VO in that same category, and say that what you all think is griefing is actually part of the VO gaming experience. Thus is it is not griefing.

So since this is the case, can we all shut up and go back to shooting each other?

To quote the famous Faille Corvelle: There are no griefers in VO. If you see one, you should kill it.

k thx bye

I would agree with you that griefing is part of gameplay. I would disagree that, as a result of that inclusion, it becomes neutralized from a moral standpoint.

Wringing your hands and crying that you are being demonized for being assholes in a game that allows for being an asshole does nothing but show how much more of an asshole you collectively are.

Rather, you should accept, with pride even, that what you do is in fact griefing. You should not care what others think of your behavior (i.e. by writing whiny threads like this) because indeed the rules of the game DO justify your behavior; and, likewise, it justifies the response you get back from players you grief.

So, to be clear, nobody is saying what you are doing is not allowed. I would argue, much like the case with SKV, that biggest problem people have with ONE is that you are not what you say you are. You wear the uniform of nationalists but you shoot your own nation members in the back with extreme prejudice.

Faille isn't the arbiter of public consensus. Griefing is real and you, ONE, are it.

How about: no

VOID loses

This isn't VOID's battle to win. This is VO public vs. ONE.

JakP's lack of rebuttal is an admission of defeat and concession to the truth that ONE are indeed griefers.

If it's not so funny, it'd be extremely painful watching greenie striving so strenuously to portray himself as an epitome of "morality."

Whatever the hell that is supposed to be in his pretend egocentric warped bubble world.

A griefer is someone who has killed one or more whiny little bitches.

I'm going to stand by my post in hope that greenwall doesn't run away and say" should've paid" as he tries to grief ,by his wiki definition, a name he's never seen before.
