Quite correct, for the aforementioned reasons.
Yes, anyone who affirms that dictionaries are wrong needs to be taken very very seriously. [haha]

After getting reset back to 10 credits, I worked my way up to 15K pretty quickly yesterday. I did a few gaming sessions yesterday, around real life events so I didn't do much multiplayer until the last night. During the day sessions, I basically ran missions to regain credits, however, I paid attention to chat and always targeted the wanted criminals (PVP). It is a fun way to make 1080 UEC.
On chat an org step up and decided they would blockade all the drug runs in the game. So I decide I would try my hand at blockade running. I did two attempts. The first attempt I didn't find the drug lab and had to reset myself in space. The second attempt, I found the drug lab and two ships were there. One was loading cargo while the other flew CAP. The one flying CAP decided to engage me without warning. He did an emp charge on my ship. So I killed the cargo ship on the ground and then killed the small ship flying CAP. I then landed and was going down my elevator (side note, some game friends logged on and I was chatting with them) to get some cargo when I received a head shot and died on my elevator. The guy in the cargo ship was on foot and saw his ship and friend in the sky blow up! Well he got on chat and we knew each other, so we left it at that. However, I had to inform him that his paid wingman was to trigger happy. They didn't have a criminal record so I received a crime stat for my actions, well worth it! Then at the very end of my session, I was doing the security station mission when another player showed up, I wasn't sure if he was friendly, so I asked who was at the security station and no one answered. Thus, he saw the barrel of my Light Machine Gun [yesnod] Well he was clean, and I ended the session with a 4 of 5 crime stat, which meant I was going to have a bounty put on my head
My last gaming (not sure its a game now, I'm confuses) session was amazing. Two people that I have previously played the game (or whatever you want to call it) with were on, so we formed a crew of 3. Which is perfect for the 600i, I was the pilot, I had one turret gunner, and one person ran shields for when we fought, or the other turret when he wanted. Since I still had the crime stat and we all needed money I told them I wasn't going to be a nice guy and smuggle illegal cargo. They all agreed, so it became the Han Solo smuggling game. Shoot first! 6 PVP kills later, lots of mad people in chat we were able to go from 14K Uec to 25K Uec with 1 run. I then gave the crew their share and we decided to clear our wanted status's, so off to the security station we went to hack their computers. The guy running shields didn't get a crime stat, so he was able to select the security station mission. We finished the mission and the clean guy signed off, then the we started cleaning up our status. We where almost done when I saw my buddies chest explode! I tried to turn to see where the shots came from and down I went! Justice was served.
This is written today, Saturday Morning, and I cannot wait to log back in to play more.
As I said earlier, you can also look up the definition of "video game" or "computer game." I see you're saying it's broad, but that doesn't make it "useless," it just means you need to find another angle.

All this bickering is fine an' all...but as far as I can see, there aren't any random neutrals popping into this thread in the first place for friendly advice on our resident and vitriolic thread topic.
So where is all this Alpha keyboard warrior chest beating taking us really?
What is 'release'?
What is 'winning'?
What is a 'game'?
Stop copying me...come up with your own lines dangit![]()
As I said earlier, you can also look up the definition of "video game" or "computer game." I see you're saying it's broad, but that doesn't make it "useless," it just means you need to find another angle because those terms are inclusive, with regards to SC as it stands.
Correct.
And precisely the reason people saying "There is no game" about SC make themselves look rather silly, especially in the eyes of newcomers to this thread. Of course the old-timers know why it's said.
Yeah, it's weird what's going on there. Logic be dammed. Incidentally, earlier today I loaded SC up, undocked and flew my ship about, killed a few NPC, flew to a planet and looked around, took a few screenshots for a mate and then did some PvP until I was killed. It was a fun game. Replace "SC" with "ED" and what I just typed makes no less or more sense, outside this thread.Pretty much. It is basically this:"Bananas aren't fruit!""Err, yes they are. Check a dictionary. Here is the definition of fruit: [x]""That is stupid, everything is fruit when you use that definition!""No, most things aren't. Bananas are, though.""But then the word is stupid!""No, you just need to use a better word to express whatever you want to say. That is how, you know, words work.""No, I want to say bananas aren't fruit, so if the dictionary says it is the dictionary is wrong! BANANAS ARENT FRUIT YOU LYING TROLL!!!!!!"Okay mate, whatever. Sensible people would just say "bananas are a fruit I dont like." or "I ordered a pine apple, but got a banana. A banana is fruit, but not the fruit I wanted." But some have dug themselves in so deep that they cant do this anymore, and they have to fight everything.
Funnily enough, bananas are one of those berries that many confuse with not being fruits. And apples, famously, are false fruits, just to make everything much clearer.Pretty much. It is basically this:
"Bananas aren't fruit!"
"Err, yes they are. Check a dictionary."
You can also quite easily find people, outside this thread (and particularly in various SC fora), that would claim that ED isn't really a game either and definitely less of one than SC is.Replace "SC" with "ED" and what I just typed makes no less or more sense, outside this thread.

I'm not sure of what your anecdote relates to, I'm hardly insulting anyone's anything by finding someones argument weird.Its not really "weird" of allMany people understand very well whats happening and personally I am often amused by the "posed outrage" of some who either do it sarcastically or try (too obviously) to trigger people, ignoring past comments, exchanges or simple facts in the process. Good for laughs I guess just please dont insult peoples intelligence. Its often too obvious "whats happening" ^^
And that's the company you keep.
It's a turn of phrase. And it is, because you both share the same argument. X isnt a game.Yuck. Hell no. [haha]
Well, its a rather glowing report, but one i cannot connect with, since its so far off my own experience of the game, which i can only describe as abysmal.
But, i do have a problem with these types of reports, as they are often very flowery, and i'd be much more trusting of your report if you could upload a video of some of this happening. An unedited one please. Sorry to be so skeptical, but you see, over the years we have had issues with people writing reports like this, but for various reasons, somehow can never seem to upload a video of these things happening, or on the occasion they do, what they report and what they show seem not to quite match in terms of awesomeness.
