Vendetta: a prolonged bitter quarrel with or campaign against someone.

Does not have to be a group or even a long or violent fight. I don't know where you look up your definitions, but maybe try a good old Collins dictionary?

Point being, it isn't license to just shoot everybody and everything for no particular reason whatsoever. Not that isn't fair play, it's just not role play or in anyway what a game called Vendetta Online is about.

Yes it is, plus I have my reasons. Who are you to assume I do not?

Who is anybody to judge the play style of another? My memes are a direct rebuttal to those who constantly and incorrectly point to the games title 'Vendetta Online' as license to shoot anybody and everybody for any or no reason at all. I am correct in saying, 'this word you keep saying, I do not think it means what you think it means.' Because words have objective meanings.

"Who is anybody to judge the play style of another?"

Exactly! If we want to fly around and shoot whomever we want then that is our play style. And FYI those of us who do that are creating the Vendetta as none of the rest of you seem to have the backbone to do it.

So yes if you are dumb enough to think you are going to play a game named Vendetta Online and not get shot should go get an education and some common sense.

If that offends you I hear Farrmville is still up and running.

Do not harass over differing play styles. Not everyone wants to be a trader, or a pirate, or a miner. The game allows all these play types, and we consider the "sandbox" nature of VO to be one of the game's greatest strengths. If an individual or guild plays in a way that you dislike, or employs strategies or techniques that you dislike, but is clearly not violating the game's policies.. then live with it, quietly, or go play a different game.

*This guideline gives you license to shoot whoever you want for whatever reason you want to, not the incorrectly cited meaning of Vendetta. If one judged their potentional to be engaged in non-consensual PVP by the meaning of the word Vendetta, they could expect safety outside association of groups engaged in Vendetta. Semantically correct I know, yet it still correct definition wise. I make no contention about the ability of VO players to initiate non-consensual PVP. Yet the same guideline also expressly forbids "...harass[ing] over differing play styles." Perhaps you should respect our diiffering play styles "...live with it, quietly, or go play a different game."

I am not the one assuming the play style of another; nor am I passing judgement on those who like to play "circle-jerk online". All I am saying is 1) your meme is wrong, and 2) it's vendetta bitches.

From Websters:

"an often prolonged series of retaliatory, vengeful, or hostile acts "

I don't see any mention of safety, peace or any thing that would lead someone to believe they would not be shot.

Therefore yes we can say you lot are complete fucking moronic dumbasses for even remotely thinking you would play a space game named Vendetta-Online and not get shot at. The fact one of the first things you are taught in the tutorials is how to shoot tings should have been a BIG FUCKING clue.

I'm having a "prolonged feud" with every living thing in the VO universe.

"Vengeance" in Italian.

vendetta (n.)
"a private war in which a kinsman wreaks vengeance on the slayer of a relative," 1846, from Italian vendetta "a feud, blood feud," from Latin vindicta "vengeance, revenge" (see vindication). Especially associated with Corsica.

This reminds me of that one E.A.P story about "The Amontillado" and fortunato.....
