While they might not be entirely accurate for YOU, stereotypes exist a lot of times because they are at least somewhat accurate (or were at some point). I know that if I saw a newbie in a Velator mining in a belt, there is absolutely no way I could resist killing or at least messing with the pilot. If people want to be safe and get advice in local, they're going to have to pay for it in ISK.Spectrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02633811678597504887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-382843540790360746.post-72834259017646449212008-11-11T19:21:00.000-05:002008-11-11T19:21:00.000-05:00\o/ *purrrrrrr*\o/ *purrrrrrr*Carole Pivarnikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06787775846290065794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-382843540790360746.post-35028700473622169012008-11-11T17:38:00.000-05:002008-11-11T17:38:00.000-05:00No use with the virtual hugs today then.

That unfortunately means, if you don't know the person, you distrust them. You have a low security rating and are a known pirate trying to "help" a noob. Somebody who dosn't know your personal proclivities would be right to warn the noobie. It is the downside to the game life you've chosen. As you yourself said, your RL proclivities, in this case - mothering instinct, have no bearing on the in-game issue. I see Yellow or flashy-red, I assume they are not here to "help" me or anyone else.

I've lost ships to ISK-farmers and I did once get podded by a month-old player (my own damn fault, to be honest). I'm a better pilot now, though, and jumping a newbie now feels like playground-bully antics.<BR/><BR/>@Mynxee - Oh, amen, if they're being little shits, they need a swatting. Alas, they probably won't learn from it, but at least it removes them from the system ^_^<BR/><BR/>@San - While it is admirable to maintain a moral stance, the morals of Eve are not the same as those in Real Life - just take a quick skim through the Chronicles! We play by game rules in a game universe; in Real Life, I worked as a casino cashier for a while and never felt any temptation to appropriate funds.<BR/><BR/>@Manasi - Of course, I'm not suggesting everyone is like that ^_^ A lot of non-pirates are lovely people, and I actually rather liked that antipirate in Tygris (and he had this amazing Scandinavian accent... *ahem*). Distrust, we have earned, since if an outlaw hovers in system for a bit, it's a sure bet they're looking for targets. Dislike, I feel, ought to be aimed at those people who have earned it, for whatever reason. I'm known to give people the benefit of the doubt beyond reasonable limits.Ivanneth Maethorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10281499789304894480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-382843540790360746.post-89919537532431486342008-11-11T07:04:00.000-05:002008-11-11T07:04:00.000-05:00Shae, as a rule I distrust most pirates, I do not ...Shae, as a rule I distrust most pirates, I do not smack talk in local unless REALLY provoked. I said distrust though not dislike...from what I know, You and the Hellcats are honorable. Pay no attention to those of a smaller mind, who cling to hope that they and only they, can play eve and all others will be destroyed. Some live to push others down, while some live to help others stand.

Those that have lost the ability to indentify where Eve ends and real life begins are the ones that need to take a step back.<BR/><BR/>In most cases it is easier for someone to trust an honourable pirate in game than anyone else. After all, if we were to play on some 'tomfoolery' as Hallan said, you would be foolish not to rule it out. It's the scammers that infiltrate the corps and shatter hundreds of man hours earning veiled trust that people should direct their abuse towards.Jedziahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14235697667283884398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-382843540790360746.post-67819057848937682342008-11-11T03:01:00.000-05:002008-11-11T03:01:00.000-05:00I sounds like you have a good balance in EVE life....I sounds like you have a good balance in EVE life.John Holthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11220976279165143733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-382843540790360746.post-14622883186414391732008-11-11T00:41:00.000-05:002008-11-11T00:41:00.000-05:00We honorable pirates are simply misunderstood by m...We honorable pirates are simply misunderstood by most.
