I can live with that. I wouldn't expect a mia culpa post then. It's all in good fun. What happens in Elite, stays in Elite. I'm just pointing out some hypocrisy in his post. For fun.....

I'm so pleased to read this.

Exactly =D

I would suggest that some of your most weaselly behavior was the kill stealing. That is just griefing and you happily partook.

Ahahah griefing. For the longest time, NPCs shooting your target at the last second robbed you of the bounty. People got frustrated about it, then Frontier changed it so that you only needed to hit the target for a certain amount of damage in the last (10?) seconds. But they didn't change the mechanics for assigning the kill when CMDRs are involved. Meaning they willfully gave CMDRs the tools to killsteal, I mean 'grief'.

@OP: Keep up the good work.

Because I like space cash? And I'd rather I have it than him. *thinks...* ... Yes, Final answer.

Honestly though, I think this question highlights a core difference between us (and that's not a bad thing). You see, to me that's just a question I would never ask. Justify? Justify? I had to think for a while, but my best conclusion is that you perceive a code of principles governing conduct, that classifies behavior into right and wrong, or perhaps good and bad, the latter redeemable via justification. That's what you've used to judge my conduct (I guess).

I see only what I can and can't do. The principles governing my conduct are the laws of the game; I act in my best interests therein.

This is quite enlightening for me. I'm starting to see why I do these things. Thank you.

In a video game your outlook is just fine. Especially one with an ethos like Elite. You just have to accept that if you bring it to the forums like this, you will have to accept the results.

Yeah, grief. He was leaching of the other guy. Most likely hoping the Vulture would turn on him ans start a fight. He couldn't hold back any longer after the Vultures lost shields. It just became too much for him. Point of view my friend, point of view.

I'm not only an evil commander, but I am a cause of evilness in others.

But I like kittens.


Fried in rum.

And mint do not forget the mint...

In short you do it because you can get away with it. Which is scary, because what's stopping you from robbing your business partner IRL if you can get away with it. Or murdering that pesky partner that has started to annoy you. It's a dark path you are going down my friend

You might want to meet up with that Anaconda and have a cleaning soak in lasers.

English isn't my first language, so what does anonymous mean?

Is it a technical term for attention seeking?

It could be this:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anonymous_(group)
Or regarding definition:
(of a person) not identified by name; of unknown name.
or
having no outstanding, individual, or unusual features; unremarkable or impersonal
or
yeah, you could be correct.

It's a reference/comparison to AA, alcoholics anonymous or really every addiction support group, since most usually end in anonymous.

Hi everyone. My name is Guidebot and I'm an evil cmdr.

I was out in my Diamondback Scout in a HIRES when I saw a player Vulture on the scanner. Before I knew what I was doing I was tailing him and stealing his kills at the last second. Then he lost shields in a fight with a clipper, so I rammed his Vulture pretty hard. He charged supercruise and left... but I followed him. And interdicted him. Twice. And destroyed him.

I don't know why I do these things but from time to time I just murder people.

for the thrill?

Does anyone else randomly perform inexplicable acts of evil?

i don't, but i do have an understanding and i very much like the fact that the game makes this at all possible. as long as you keep it strictly in-game, it's not obsessive and you don't vote conservative, all good. failing any of these, seek professional help ;-)

er ... my condolences to the victim. keep it up! find this mf and boil him!

Indeed. And usually they don't go: hey look at me, I'm an alcoholic!

There's always one. This will make you feel better..... I noticed your cry for help. Would you like a hug?

And it's a certain kind of fool who likes to hear the sound of his own name!

You "last shot" stealing his kills????

yes this sounds strange to me too. he didn't literally say 'last shot', tho.

maybe he is dealing huge damage to the power plant with good timing, and 'last second' is just rhetorical. wonder how this now works exactly, i don't usually kill steal.

 

[Jordan Cobalt]

I think I am.

No but they own up to their misdeeds and admit them, both to the other members of the group and themselves. In return they're supposed to be met with compassion and understanding, not criticism and judgement.

The Mobius group welcomes everyone who can follow the rules. Otherwise.... well you know how that goes. And, I guess an empty open is just what you're hoping for.

sleeping with young boys after showing them his fairground?

wow I missed that subtext!!!!!

There's an important part of AA you're leaving out here.

I'm sure I don't have to explain which part
