PvP PSA about what it means when we say "Git Gud"

[Riverside]

Like there is a difference between :

"Why this griefer killed me for no reason ? I was unarmed while minding my own business ignoring how the game works and expecting the way i want to play the game would change its rules"

and...

"I got destroyed in seconds. Here is what happened, can you guys please help me to understand what i did wrong ?"

There certainly is, but why would your response be any different either way? With any post, try to mentally strip out any hyperbole and address the actual message, however well or badly it is presented. If you're not sure on a point ('they literally took down my shields in 2 seconds' might be real, in which case pip management, it might just mean they panicked a bit and it took 10 secs but weren't actually timing it) ask for clarification & go from there, if you can be bothered.

If you can't be bothered just say nothing & leave it for someone more patient to deal with.

Or insult them if you must, in the full knowledge that you are doing so.

You're obviously too dimwitted to understand the point I'm making.

edit: Crap, spoiler emoticons don't work. So much for that joke

Thank you. You are to kind, you suborn git.

Forsooth! My space vessel has been rendered naught by a villain of dubious virtues! I seek the means to avoid the slings and arrows of outragious fortune while I am flying in Open.

Could any of you distinguished gentlemen of the PvP persuasion assist me in this endevour? That would be smashing indeed.

Tally ho! Pip pip!

Have you perhaps tried to become good?

Bottoms up. Hick.

Absoloutely correct, and if this thread was about such players complaining about that sort of thing it would be a good comment

I actually revel in my incompetence!

I'm Norwegian. Here we focus on what we are good at and claim that it's the most important thing in the world.
We happily ignore that most others don't care at all.

No parallels to anything in ED, of course.

Are you saying that winter sport, in particular cross country skiiing, isn't the most important thing in the world? Heretic!! You will burn at the stake for such comments!

I have just learned that 500 meters is the most important thing in the world.

Seems I need to seek political asylum now. Any takers.

That was actually news to us as well. The things you learn

I've always played in open and only been blown up once by another player, Anaconda exited super criuse right behind my cobra and one shotted me, since then I've evaded station campers, interdiction's, rammers, gankers and have stayed alive since.

Did I "Git Gud" yet?

I think the spirit of the OP's message, such that it is, would imply that rather you need to take arms against a sea of troubles. Not that I'm necessarily in agreement, mind.

Pip pip!

If you truly do want to avoid the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, however, then that would need to be "Pip Pip Pip Pip".

Repped you again! Because I could

I'd rather be the twig, gently bobbing on the waves, going with the flow.

If you truly do want to avoid the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, however, then that would need to be "Pip Pip Pip Pip".

Nice
