An interview with one of Elite Dangerous' most hated

I actually feel really bad for the chap who had to flatter Null's ego for the span of an interview. It doesn't say much for one's journalism career to be chronicling the self-aggrandizing brain droppings of some combat-logging griefer with cringy delusions of grandeur.

Writing for anonymous web zines isn't a career in the first place, chap. Most people who write for them do it for free. It certainly won't pay enough to put a roof over your head and even the Huff Post don't pay their irregular columnists. People do it because they like doing it, or they like telling people they do it, or they hope if they do enough free stuff with a ***-eating grin, then someone might start paying them (they catch on eventually, quit in despair and promptly get replaced with a keener person harbouring the same delusions). I would not be at all surprised if author and subject are either the same person or already know each other, given that literally nobody has heard of this 'overlord my playpen' kid.

15 pages or not, it certainly did rock the boat.
In some ways ingame I feel like Miller, you know Miller ?.He is in your head, or should be. I am here, but not really.
As CMDR Siobhan said I should prolly have a drink of water.

Cheers Cmdr's

This post here made reading the 15 pages worthwhile. Rep for you Mr Goose4291

The thing I like about this post is the fact that the journo is being insulted at the same time.

What you've got there is a multi layered insult.
+1 from me!
 
Taking off? Thats the bit like crashing, but in reverse?

Is it? I suppose it make sense... Good job I've not had to land in the last 6 months, think I've forgotten how!

As for this reaching 15 pages, some of us had to leave the PC to do real world things like drink copious amounts of Whiskey so the rest of you could stay in space... :D
 
'Overlord' of Eravate?? Pah! Personally, I am the Super High Grand King of Eravate and would officially request that you cease your antisocial activities (and general naughtiness) forthwith before you give my fair system a bad name. Otherwise, you will be sent to bed without any supper. Also, you should get out more.

Regards,
SHGK of E
 
Again... Delusions of Grandeur... You are far from important as CMDR in ED and your opinions on the game carry no more weight than any of ours.

But personally, I am done with this thread...

@ OP: Feel free to keep believing your fiction if that makes you happy, but I would recommend not trying to persist with spreading your beliefs on this matter as observed/reported fact.

@ Everyone Else (not the OP): PM me if something interesting happens in this thread ;)

Don't leave. If you stay, I'll make you assistant to the regional overlord.
 
Ooooh, salty thread

From the article.



Ah, well, i guess i will just have to live with an emptier experience then, playing in PG. How do i ever survive without these types of players providing content for me ill never know.

You survived *because* they didn't provide content for you.
 
Zarek, you've been knocked out of the saddle. I am the Overlord of Eravate now.

When I was *really* knocked out of the saddle was when feedback cascade torpedos first came out and Adle's Armada patrols in Eravate started carrying them. I temporarily lost control of Eravate. But they're not a threat to me now. Nor are you.

Ooh, you're back... Thought that combat log from the forum had melted your connection. You should come over and say hello some time. Lots of sidewinders here in Shinrarta. Some of them might entertain you.
 
Actually what this person reminds me of, based on a comment my better half just made...

Kids in school with a magnifying glass focussing the beam on ants. Or putting a glass over a wasp or bee on a sunny day.
 
Sounds like the perfect qualification for the job.
I wonder though what'll happen if this Overlord chap ever leaves the safety of Eravate. I mean, if he's as hated as he claims, then he'll be attacked everywhere and spend more time logging back in (after pulling his connection) than he will jumping.

I actually am widely hated, and I am attacked relentlessly anywhere I go with a high population. And it's been that way for at least 6 months. I'm better known through my contributions to Reddit and YouTube, than through the forums, which I rarely visit. But now that I see how toxic the forums can be, I'll have to visit more often.
