No sense of humor in open

I do a thing where I make them tell me a joke and they get to live. Simple right? Apparently most commanders would rather die and attempt to run away than spit a simple Yo mamma joke.

I actually find more noobs go along with it than people with mid range ships. Since they are so worried about their bank account some even CL. Noobs don't care though. They say I CHOOSE DEATH! and ram themselves to death against my shields. Or even one time some dude self destructed himself as the punchline to his joke. Good times. Too bad it seems the majority doesn't tolerate too much shenanigans.

I always play in Solo. If you ever catch me in Open it's because I've pressed the wrong button and so accept the consequences of my own stupidity.

So say you do happen across me, I may be willing to part with a joke to save my life, but I certainly wouldn't give you one of my more valuable jokes. I'd probably try to fob you off with a worthless one that's well by its sell-by date "dog with no nose - how does it smell" or similar rubbish I might have in the bottom of my hold.

How would you react to being offered such a poor joke? Would you be willing to accept it as capitulation, or would you demand I part with one of my more precious puns?

Solo is just as bad...nobody talks to me apart from me talking to me and me is a bit dumb, I require intelligence...which is why I play in solo.

If yecant handle open, the git gud or go solo....dayem I always wanted to use that line ^
 
Haha, nice! In my opinion this are some of the best moments in game. Strange situations where player are playing a role and are not just there to shoot at each other. Keep going, maybe we meet some day. Hoping for a funny/scary/strage moment ;-)

Would be difficult for me too.
I don't know any jokes.
Would I get the time to look one up on the internet?

Hmm I could tell a joke...but Id suicide anyway because I can. If one wants to play childish games, one has many more entertaining options because in my own personal experiece, they gonna kill ye anyway and they just playing with ye to make fun of ye. Its at that point where I self destruct because thats me choosing not to be the object of their mirth ^

They might simply be having a laugh but...lets just say something very similar to this did happen in open when I was a lot more naive. Thats why I rarely venture into it now...full of immature children with playground humour at best ^
 
I know I'm generalizing with the thread title but I thought this was funny. I made a new friend in a cz today and after I suggested we play as cops and interdict other players. We find an asp and pull it over. I explain to the asp cmdr that we've had reports of suspicious orange asps in the neighborhood but this guy doesn't go for it, really annoyed by the whole thing. Doesn't show proper respect and says he has a passenger on board whom I can't see so my guard is raised immediately and I ask the driver to step out of the vehicle. The asp bolts and a police chase ensues. I tell the pilot once again to pull over (there was no time to tell him that he was doing 100lsec in a 40lsec zone where children play in sidewinders). So his shields go down, loses some hull and his passenger bolts right before he frameshifts out. We've recovered the pod and it was severely dehydraded woman who then later revealed that she was a prisoner in one of his cargo racks! Shame on you harmless asp cmdr!

... and if everyone played liek this, with imagination, they too would behold the beauty of Elite, well done sir!!

Fly safe CMDR o7
 
If I'd of been the Asp pilot I'd of been laughing my face off at the thought of the two of you playing cops and the fact it took two of you to have the guts to stop me... Hysterical!
