PvP Why PvP is not popular in Elite Dangerous?

You are guessing too, we all are, christ, for the millionth time, the word majority does not exclude said majority from being a vast one, a medium one or a small one, it is just a majority. The original poster you quoted has as much chance of being correct as you are given how ambiguous the word majority is in terms of the actual numbers involved. Said poster is assuming it is vast, you are assuming it is not, don't call someone out for making assumptions while making them yourself.

You are guessing that it isn't a 'vast majority' when the word 'majority' doesn't exclude that possibility.

Its simple english man. A miss quote is a miss quote and Majority and Vast Majority are two seperate things.

Its hillarious you cant grasp the concept.

Honestly.

Where you from out of curiosity? Is english your first language? Genuine question - not trying to be an .

Altough, I'm not surprised you're continuing to argue. Like a rabid dog with a bone.

Before this system was put in place you were strutting around saying there was going to be a PvE meltdown.

There's been nothing of the sort - a few minor flurries. Mostly I've seen people saying they think it's great and they finally get to RP a criminal properly. Can you provide any evidence to the contrary?



Everything PvP. It's all nails.

Well, I've read a number of complaints about it, and not a single one yet from a PvPers, so...

 

[Electric Kite]

Ah, now your lack of comprehending the nuances of English and logic are showing.

We have information from source A, referring to a majority, in an unqualified manner. It may be small, it may be vast.

We have information from source B that confirms a majority exists, and further qualifies it with the only reasonable scale statistical information available.

Yet you seem to want to gloss over source B without even a casual dismissal and bandy about the term assumption, when what I wrote was not based on an assumption at all, rather on my temporary acceptance that source B has added useful information that allows us to further qualify the information we already had.

Altough, I'm not surprised you're continuing to argue. Like a rabid dog with a bone.

Like most people who like to assume they are smart..you used a lot of words..to basically say nothing relevant.
I said he miss quoted frontier.

And he did.

Your thoughts?

Are the PvPers happy to be fighting in an anachy? Surely no true scotsman would ever complain that something was hard, the shame would be unbearable

Read the OP again, it's not a quote.

Dum di dum di dum, I wonder what's been happening in this thread since I left

Hours later, and it is the same for me.

Two? There was already three when I starting fanning, and I won't be satisfied until it's a full conga line!

Majority and vast majority do not have to be separate though, why can't you grasp that, a 75%/25% split can be described as either a majority or a vast majority, see, not separated at all.

Why does the word vast exist? In your opinion?

Same goes for Majority and tiny majority, amirite... ?

For emphasis of opinion.

 

[Electric Kite]

Same goes for Majority and tiny majority amirite ?

lol

you again.

Run away man.

RUN AWAY

 

[Riverside]

Same goes for Majority and tiny majority amirite ?

Yep.

Yes you are, but assuming when the word 'majority' is used that is has to be or can't possibly be a vast one are equally stupid.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

What you wrote is correct but does not make what i wrote false. There is specific rule in 3.0 C&P to partially address seal clubbing :

3.0 Launch stream timestamp

You said "not ganking", which I took as "being exempt from C&P". With regard to the partially addressing of the clubbing of seals we are totally tunneling towards each other.

Which doesn't mean I'm not happy to spend the next 5 pages discussing the intricate details of every word we uttered in our conversation

 

[jasonbarron]

We're using different echo chambers perhaps...

I think you have a point. My only point was that it wouldn't be very popular of a rule; there would be a lot of complaints and it wouldn't be very fun. Fdev isn't trying to ruin the game for people who breake the PF's laws, just make it more difficult and meaningful.

 

[Theodrid]

Why does the word vast exist? In your opinion?

To define more accurately, it is optional whether such a descriptor is used, it's lack of use does not preclude any possibility within the wide range of the word 'majority', be that a vast, medium or small possibility.

Thus, assuming because the word 'vast' wasn't used in this case that the majority could not possibly be so is as ridiculous as saying it absolutely must be.

Your thoughts?

Sure! My thoughts... I don't think anything you've banged on about regarding majority vs vast majority within the context of the original discussion is in any way relevant or interesting.

PS If your going to go all condescending about teaching someone about the English language, how about learning the difference between a misquote and miss quote - unless I've misunderstood your entire exchange and you've been talking about an unmarried woman with the surname quote? See I can be pedantic too!

I think it's fair to say FDev want to discourage certain activities (sealclubbing) without punishing other outwardly similar behaviour in other situations. It would be understandable if 'normal' PvP behaviour suffered because of rules put in to discourage poor behaviour. Frustrating, but understandable.

Sorry, gonna have to stop you there.
You never addressed the issue of miss quoting.

It gets easier to point out the issues with your views the less words you use. I assume thats why you used so many the first time.

Anyway, back on topic....

In your opinion: is it ok to assume the majority is vast when the SOURCE (Frontiers Words) do not imply it is?
Lets keep this REAL simple.
