Hilarious PK trolling

[Deleted member 94277]

Shame on you, OP.
If you troll the trolls, doesn't that make you a troll yourself? What's the point of doing that? Two wrongs don't make a right, my grandma used to say.

 

[Archvillain]

Heh, I'm more interested in the potential of a third possibility: perhaps the idea that the game always does what players expect might not be entirely accurate, perhaps a bug or instancing quirk was in play?

Elsewhere on the forum today has been the "PSA - Fast ship are not necessarily Combat Logging", I wonder if there is a better explanation here too.

I cant exclude conections problems... or even bugs... because Fdev.... But when someone says what he said , he might have been loggin instead of low-waking , and just talked about low waking because he knows that combat loggin and task killing is cheat and a bad way of getting "rep"s

Anyway this was the only time i saw CMDR in this situation. I know that is a serious flaw in his "idea", and it's that anyone with half brain and intent of killing would just wait at his wake to disappear and he comes back to super cruise to finish him off.


So don't mind me I was asked for proof. I never upload CL if i don't think is necessary or challenged.

So right now I'm wanting an apology from the OP for his bad bluff and calling me a liar and troll and many other things...

 

[Histarium]

How I giggled at the futility.

Ye' havin' ye'self a giggle m8? I'll crack ye fokin hull I will!

^^^ Is what I imagine they would say if they saw this comment.

I wasn't doing anything "wrong", though.

Let me get this straight in my head - you can't rule out "internet" and you can't rule out "bugs" - but you want an apology anyway. Bit rich.


As for the lack of white square, there are 2 possibilities:

1. Glitches...
a. Internet connection issues
b. P2P bugs

Both of which are not exactly uncommon, but let's not hang our hats on that and go for option 2 -

2. I didn't drop out of SC as I *meant to*... either through:
a. Being too fast for safe drop - pressing SC button - not registering the "Too Fast" dialog before pressing going through a whole heap of buttons (which, let's face it takes a fair few seconds - during which time I would be flying straight and level...) to Exit to Main Menu, or;
b. Not pressing the correct button to drop from SC and again not registering before going to the Menu Options.

Either way, if this did happen, and I'm pretty sure it didn't, the *INTENTION* was always to exit via the Menu System. Which does take time. And if this did happen, I still don't believe that this entitles anyone to call someone a logger. Exit via menu is always a valid option. Even in actual combat, waiting for the timer to decay... And in any case, no combat was taking place and no interdiction had begun yet, so personally, I don't see your point.

Leaving the game via menu is *NOT* combat logging. End of. Anyone who considers it a combat log, well, I'll just leave that there.


In sum, I would never combat log and have always accepted my rebuys in good faith. If you trust my intention, then we don't really have a problem. If you *don't* trust my intention, then this is not my problem. All depends on whether you are a trusting type of person, or not...

All the Best

Yes me too. Some people might even equate this to stealing salt from the salt miners themselves. And this is why I was giggling - it had turned into a Parody.

...Although, as already stated, the whole point of doing this was 2-fold. First and foremost I was trying to attract the "bad guys" away from the shipping lane in order that the "good guys" would have a better chance of success in their endeavours. Role Play. Secondary reason was as an experiment in observing if Open was just as toxic an environment as I remember it being. And it was, despite the daily protestations on the forum that it isn't a bad place to game (*with exceptions)

As I said before, I only ever judge people if I witness them judging others and even then I only use the standards they set for others to judge them by.

Yours Aye

*Exceptions that prove the rule

 

[Siranui]

Do you find that you "giggle" to yourself often?

At least he's not loudly telling us that he's doing it quietly...

 

[Ozram]

At least its not a *Chuckle*

Perhaps a chortle would be the most appropriate.

Relax , I think Zepode might give me a clear video sometime later, the log time is 0:13 timestamp , be it Menu or Task, a log is a log. you disappear with no low-wake (white square) .

Um... if there's no one interdicting him, that's not any sort of combat log I ever heard of you know? 'Cause a combat log requires the combat part.

 

[Obnoxious_Gamer]

I'd like to present the only ship truly qualified to annoy gankers:



In short, we need that paintjob for the IEagle.

 

[StiTch]

I would not call this trolling. to me its that you became a vigilante of sorts.
That , to me at least is the reason why we have a crime system. its so that a take on roles like this

Well doesn't "vigilante" imply you actually enforce punishment? Because if not, you'd be a "vigilante" for sporting a gay pride flag at a Trump rally and bolting into the hedge before someone can fumble their freedom rifle in your direction.

Not entirely sure what the point of OP was. We've established that he sat at a CG, wrote down some CMDR names, and bolted from danger. Is that supposed to be newsworthy on forums these days?

OP, get a wing, outfit for war, go blast the gankorz to smithereens and then tell us about your day. Vids preferable. Then you'll have a RPing vigilante story to be proud of.

 

[Pville_Piper]

Well. I'm kind of a chuckling man myself when the situation warrants. I've always associated giggling with school girls and general giddiness

Yer so manly!

Dear Duane,

This jealous forum stalking of me has to stop. It's over between us, and it has been for a long time. I needed some hot PvP action and a man who could really handle his hardpoints, and every time I pointed my C4 PA at you, you just burst into tears at the thought of being covered in my plasma and logged into Mobius. I just felt so rejected, like it was something wrong with ME...and then I developed some self-respect and finally realized the problem lay with you and your low self-esteem issues. Please just accept my decision: it is over between us! And stop sending me private messages begging me to give you another chance.

Sincerely,

CMDR Jason Barron

P.S. I now call you "Dribbley" and I think you know why

SLAP!*


*Definitely of the female dog variety...

I was not saying you combat logged. I'm just saying that you are a liar for saying something in the forums when what happened in game was very diferent

Anyway MENU loggin is not cheat. It's a kitty move but 100% legal. Just don't wave your around telling things you haven't done

First of all - it wasn't me who used to word vigilante.

Second, it's a bit of a tenuous way to imply someone is a bit gay

Third, I feel that you are being deliberately selective about "writing down names" and "bolting from danger", LOL, and ignoring the stuff I've actually explained. I would ask you to read the explanations again, but it simply appears to me that you already have, but have chosen to be selective for your own reasons.

Finally. Nope. No thanks. PvP brings me no thrills or interest whatsoever. This is the reason that I have never played a single CoD or Arena type game. Ever. And never will. Thanks for the offer, but I'll politely decline.

Contradiction much?

"I cant exclude conections problems... or even bugs... because Fdev.... ..."

" Just don't wave your around telling things you haven't done "


Not very well played, Sir.



If I can also reply to your

"I know that is a serious flaw in his "idea", and it's that anyone with half brain and intent of killing would just wait at his wake to disappear and he comes back to super cruise to finish him off."

There is no flaw in *my* idea, just a flaw in *your* own assumption that someone would SC back in the same place in the same mode. Only an idiot would do that, surely? This is why we were given modes and we can use them with utter impunity.

*This thread is clean - I have exorcised the demons*

Mode switching might be legal, but it's not ethical, especially if you're baiting people in open. To me, that's the same as combat logging, and it's not necessary.

Made no such implication at all about gayness. Simple use of comic device to brighten the message up...

Now please, care to explain what I missed? Because I am fairly sure that's what I just re-read from OP: you were at a busy system with murderers, recorded their names, waited for them to come to you, then took measures to avoid conflict.

You wrote down names, and then you bolted.

Where am I being selective?

Yes true, but the whole "hurrr Imma troll , I trolled PvPers cause i'm badasss" stuff falls apart when you say you were actively mode switching, and using not so interesting techniches to do so right?

You're just another guy, that comes and say you trolled someone in the forums for getting some rep, when all you have done is nothing truly remarkable , cover into lies to make it more interesting for everyone around you to get some inutile "Rep". You want rep i give you some... Here... now be happy and keep the salt mine flowing

Come back when you actually did something that worth telling the full truth , and not some baked lies to make it better


Want a tip defeat one of the SDC guys. It's not that hard... I've beaten some of them in a Cobra , I believe you can do it on a python... But not with that ridiculous weak build you we're displaying on SC...

Cheers ,

Greedy.

Pray tell - what kind of game do you pursue in E: D? Only asking in order to establish the nature if "ethical" you describe.

Allow me to quote myself. (Which is pretty cool)

Like I said before - if you do not trust me then it is you that has trust issues and this serves only to illustrate more about your character than mine.

I *did* drop out of SC. I know I did. However, I cannot prove it. The fact that you don't trust me to my word is nothing yo do with me.

The fact is, I've had many, many more reps from this thread than any other before it. I'm not claiming to be badass. That is you foisting your own mindset onto me, which couldn't really be further from the truth.

For clarification, I pursued this gameplay in order to draw the "bad guys" away to give the "good guys" an opportunity to get through to the CG. Secondarily, as an afterthought, I recorded the bad guys names and the good guys names so that a qualitative as well as a quantatitive analysis of a 30 minute slice could be undertaken. If necessary I might be able to contact the good guys yo ask whether they were pirated or simply PKed. This might prove yo be useful evidence on whether Open is "fine" as some people suggest, or whether it is "toxic" as others suggest.

My parting shot is that I only posted this thread because I was actually having fun playing the decoy. However, it has become an amazing resource for me. Thanks to all who participated. Really. It has. Thanks a lot.

I've just been having a laugh at PK players at the CG system. Sitting out at 500Ls or so from the action just checking out the overpowered wings of Corvettes, Cutters, Pythons - and writing down the CMDR names - how they must feel so brave interdicting singleton Asps and Type 6s. So brave indeed.

Anyway. Once in a while there would be no new players arrive. So one or more players would finally choose to fly out to meet me. Maybe say hi. Probably with a view to just blowing up my ship with no comms. Once they're at the same distance from star as me I would just drop down.

I found this hilarious. How I giggled at the futility. Perhaps this gave an opportunity for another otherwise-victim to slip past to destination.

I recommend this as a fun distraction.

Code even messaged to offer a "parlay".

As if.

See ya suckers.

I like interdicting them, and then running away, in avast, throwaway ship. Lol

Nothing quite like wastin' their time.


And of course, if you see one docking too fast, grind your hull down and give em' a nudge. Lol

Trollin' them trolls.
