Why I and many others will rarely play Elite
- Thread starter RELSPI
- Start date
That'd be some powerful satire given I don't even live in Amernica
It's even more powerful considering I also don't live in America.
Amazing in every aspect! Fiery wrath from above, best in VR. I recommend Packhounds, but mines do very well, even dumbfire missiles fired from an Eagle by a skilled player I hear. All the different styles, including drone warfare, most peacefully assembled here. Uh, what I didn't try was commanding my SLF ace(s) to target an individual adversary, and I completely missed out on the SRV. The last Alpha phase was just too short, but the Prism Sidey is clearly something to be reckoned with in this dawning era of AG combat!
But didn't they promise Bloodthirsty Spacefaring Camels some moons ago? Andromedaries? GalNet never lies, therefore it's official. So, where are they?
O7,

Holy bum-balls, that's like WMD levels of satire 0.o
Satire is often "funny" but it's not an absolute requirement - satire is a form of ridicule first and foremost, while also being a form of wit. Although of course what one finds witty or funny is subjective. Orwell's "Animal Farm", for example, is yer school textbook introduction to satire, but it's not exactly slap-your-sides "funny".
So the total lack of humour in the OP doesn't technically prevent it from being satirical, in the same way that a five ton anvil isn't technically prevented from being a doorstop.
Whenever I see another ship I shut my eyes. Sometimes I forget but it does reduce the quantity overall.
This is art.Ships. For the most part.
Whenever I play Elite, and happen to cross ways with another pilot, I they're flying a ship with engines and a hull and everything. "I mean, ok, you obviously want to fly your spacefaring ship and curbstomp the concept of distance, I get it. I hope you were able to pump up that little ego of yours. Now I go into real life, goodbye."
Yee, it's dumb, really.
No really, I am glad that there is real life. I just wanna chill and work at my job.
Tho sometimes I get the urge to step into Elite with the hope to find some realistic guys to play with. Even though it sometimes tends to end like described above.
Not sure, why I write this, maybe I don't want real life ever to be deleted and I hope it never will be.
Can you show us on the dolly where the nasty chieftain touched you?Ships. For the most part.

Ok.
No, because we're communicating via text.
Yeah the game must agree with you, every time it detects a orange sidewinder or scarlet krait it boots me to main menu...
I suspect RELSPI would be ok with that, much like the writer Guy de Maupassant allegedly often dined at the restaurant at the base of the Eiffel tower because it was the only place he couldn't see the tower that he hated.
@RELSPI is messing with you guys, in case you missed it?
The OP's opening thread was a take on a thread titled "Why I and many others will rarely play open".

Griefers. For the most part. Whenever I play open, and happen to cross ways with another player, I get interdicted and killed by a full engineered guy. "I mean, ok, you obviously want to test out your super OP ship and pubstomp little-me, I get it. I hope you were able to pump up that little...
