The Replicated Man

You're calling seal clubbers scum and comparing them to dirt you wipe off your boot while at the same time threatening some kind of epic screed at me for being ultimately OK with seal clubbing as an in-game activity.

Is seal clubbing boring? Yup.
Not challenging? Yup.
Bit distasteful? Sure, as far as sportsmanship goes.

Indicative of a person that doesn't deserve basic dignity? Hell no forever.
Is "seal clubbing fun" for some?

As the Kool Aid man says: Oh Yeah!
 
If you are a seal clubber, then I couldn't give the proverbial rats hairy crack what you think.

all I know is give it back and the bad'uns don't like it and get all upset. ;)
Nah nah man, you need to go back and read what I wrote a little slower, set your prejudice aside and actually make an attempt to understand my point; I just cut you to the core, so deep that in a forum sense you're losing blood from an artery and a few steps from collapse, and meanwhile I'm walking away with a smile on my face, whistle on my lips and a bounce to my step wondering where the best place to buy a bottle of perfume and a box of chocolates for my best girl is. Love is in the air, and I'm feeling like I have a pretty good chance of talking her into getting freaky tonight.

You want to run with the big dogs in the "atomic word bomb" game, you'd best get off the porch, son:)
 
What's Fdev's stance on killing in 'PvE' Private Groups?

After you get booted once, you can be punished by trying to weasel in with an alt account or something? Maybe I'm wrong, but I could have sworn that was mentioned somewhere. Whether or not that's true...

If you were griffin' in the PG under your previously un-booted account, you might be kind of a butt, but you're all legal, baby, so keep on griffin' on

If you were booted, and snuck in afterwards, well... SHAAAAAAAAAAAAME

I get very amused when the PvE boi comes in here, talking shop and gets absolutely dunked on.

Makes me smile every time.
I know I'm a PvE player, I drop into these conversations 'cause they're full of good advice.
When I started this game, I googled up for private groups, asked around, and joined mobius because I knew what sort of things happen in competitive, open-world games with always-on PvP. (the first such game where I could get online to play with strangers was the original Diablo, where a high-level player on the list presented a very real chance of murdering you just for being there)
Funnily enough, it's talking to PvPers that's given me the confidence to fly in open. Talking to other PvEers would spell open out as some anarchic wasteland where the instant you drift out the mailslot you'll get ganked by some swarm of stealth instakill ferdelances, and then when I finally got brave enough to log into open one time... crickets chirping
Sure, I swap to solo/private when I just don't feel like dealing with people, like the other day when I was jiggling my modules around to make use of the extra slots we all just got, which meant doing a bunch of runs in and out of Jameson's Memorial, but it was very much PvPers that convinced me that the stories of roaming gank squads are greatly exaggerated.

In all honesty it's not the good PvPers that I'm particularly worried about - they've got bigger fish to fry than someone like me unless there's something happening that gives them the need to prove a point, and at the very least they tend to be entertaining about it. It's the mediocre PvPers that tend to be the biggest threat to newbies and PvE-fit players under most circumstances. I bring up SS13 a lot as examples of griefers - a fairly common scrub-tier trick is for someone to log in and grab a fuel tank and beeline for the bar with the intent of blowing it up, or they'll just run up and wordlessly hit someone with a fire extinguisher, then they get banned and the sentiment is a general "wow, that was annoying, oh well". It's the creative griefers that provide the "I'm not even mad, that's amazing" moments.

New wave of the Xbox PvP community in a nutshell lmao.

Lotta garbage-level ‘PvP’ guys who talk big game, but get absolutely smoked by those of us who have been around awhile. Basically their options are

1. Kill sideys
2. Get killed

Seems(to me)like a good portion of the OG griffin’ types have long since moved on over here. Either they’ve gotten bored and quit the game entirely, or moved away from griffin’ to stick around to set an example of what gud should look like.

To those who are no longer with us: thanks for at least being competent ‘bad guys’.

To the few of you left:

Thanks for sticking around.

Except to prove you 100% wrong...

I hear that a certain Harry Potter is amongst the "top tier" PvP combateers.
Yet there he was destroying unarmed explorers...

Busted.

oh no, I have been proven 100% wrong, truly if anyone flies in open ever they will get immediately murdered by an entire wing of stealth FDLs that is hanging outside the mailslot of literally every station in the game

all because harry potter exists

CURSE YOU HARRY
