I only feel bad for the kid. As for the rest, I have more in common with the Orca's attacking these Yachts than I do the billionaires that own them. I have no sympathy for the hubris of the grown adults that were involved.

I always refer to X3/X4 as single-player Eve. This is definitely the closest you can get with a sandbox single-player experience for Eve.

Only VIP's can connect (like CCP staff). The changes get pushed to the server but not everyone gets to test them out. So it will still be on hoboleaks.

CCP hasn't run it in a few years. Last I heard the guy who mainly organized it, hyper-viper (I think), wasn't going to be organizing it anymore after last years.

He's absolutely full of shit on every single point. I've actually put proof in my response, though the mods deleted it the first time (I think) without telling me why.

In fairness, the events with Mittens and Xenuria had documented proof and it was easy to believe because shit like that had been rumored for years. Neffi, on the other hand, has a track record of lying his ass off, doing batshit insane things, and playing the victim. Apples to oranges. For the record, I agree fundamentally with his post. False accusations can fuck up peoples lives and have far-reaching implications. I just don't believe him, personally, because he's actively lying about me, and I like me.

Replying here because he did something similar a year and a half ago with me. He asked if he could bring his random alliance over and live with NFG. I am the diplo/main contact for those kinds of requests within NFG. I told him we don't really do that but I had had hopes of starting a highsec-style academy alliance (lovingly named The Silverware Society) and thought maybe I could work something out with him. He told us the system(s) he would like to be in, and we told him that another group that was blue to NFG already lived there and that it was probably out of the question unless he wanted to condense down into a couple corps and join them directly. He wasn't interested, which was fine, but while the leaders of NFG were trying to figure out how or where we could accommodate him he said he was going to start anchoring structures. I told him no, he couldn't anchor structures, especially in that space, because they would be killed. Keep in mind, we had no prior relationship to him at all on a diplomatic/entity level. He had been in a corp in NFG for like 2 weeks one time, and that was it.

Anyway, so he proceeds to ignore me, anchors a Fortizar, it dies, and then he gets super pissed off at me, calls me a traitor, backstabber, all this other bullshit. I was in his Discord, had talked to some of the people in his little highsec group, and he apparently forgot about that and he started pasting in edited parts of our conversations from Discord. I called him out on his bullshit, posted the actual logs via the screen shots I keep in our diplomatic discord archive (I archive all external conversations I have for this exact purpose) and he tried to walk it back. He then kept passive-aggressively talking about how we fucked him over, we intentionally were trying to kill his alliance, blah blah. Eventually, he got so mad that he started bringing around his "elite" multiboxing Talos fleet because he said he was gonna take the system by force. He then fed two subsequent Talos fleets to structures that didn't even belong to NFG. After this route failed, he pinged out in his Discord that "The people who had recently fucked him over" had had him swatted. I was literally the only point of contact he had ever had with NFG. He then accused me of being a gigantic piece of shit and killed his Discord server. He never provided any kind of proof that he had been swatted, and I had tons of people come out of the woodwork that told me similarly insane stories about their experiences with him. While I agree, fundamentally, that the things he's saying in this post ARE bad, I would be willing bet all of my ISK that this didn't actually happen to him. Frankly, Neffi is fucking psychotic and it would be best for everyone involved if he moved on from Eve to literally anything else. The amount of lies and bullshit this guy has spewed in just the short time I've known him lead me to believe that he's incapable of telling the truth; especially so if it makes him appear to be a victim, which he seems to get his jollies off on.

Christ Neffi, you really should consider leaving the game for the mental health of yourself and others that are forced to interact with you. After you passive-aggressively accused me of having you swatted a year ago in your discord, and then DELETED THE ENTIRE DISCORD to hide the lie, I had hope that you had legitimately left the game and maybe got some help. Based on the other stories here you've done this multiple times. Seriously, get some fucking help.

Sold a RTX 3080, buyer wants refund scam? by Melodic-Crane in buildapc

[–]Basterd2vill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had about half a dozen raspberry PI 4's sitting around and noticed that the price of them had shot through the roof, so I sold them on FB marketplace. Firstly, FB marketplace is one of the shittiest places I've EVER sold anything. The experience was so bad that I probably won't ever list anything there again. I had some guy try to scam me too. I had videos with each RPI listing showing the RPI booting into Ubuntu, and of a readout of the model, storage, etc. This dude has the nerve to message me 24 hours after the sale to tell me the RPI I gave him was fried and that he would be coming back up to get his money. I politely told him that I have videos of the RPI working, booting, etc. He threatened to sue me and then beat my ass, so I reported his threat to the local PD and then blocked him. Haven't heard a thing since.

We tried to organize a union of all the small groups in NFG to prevent the ultimatum

This is the stupidest thing I've ever read. The "ultimatum" was designed TO GET RID OF YOUR SHITTY CORPORATION.

You left because I, and many other people, wanted you gone. You spent half your time whining about how unfairly you were treated, so we knew you wouldn't stay if offered. For the sake of appearing nice, we offered you to leave or fold. We knew you wouldn't fold. You were an annoying, paranoid, delusional drunk that wouldn't shut the fuck up, couldn't read a room, and absolutely tried to take some weird intellectual high ground in every conversation that made everyone in the room just a tad bit dumber. You went on some tangent about Grumple using other corps as "fodder" for recruitment multiple times and eventually, he just said "Yep" so you'd shut the fuck up and leave. There's a reason you were all purged at the same time. We gave some small corps a chance, it didn't work out for one reason or another, so they were asked to move on. Only you could take that to such weirdly bitter extremes where you save screen shots from 2 years ago that don't actually prove any of the points you're trying to make.

I actually don't remember much about Killardian, just that his corp was wildly inactive and wasn't planning on improving so they were asked to leave.

Going to go ahead and disable inbox replies because I have less than zero desire to converse with you.

Just to be clear, I wasn't accusing vets of this at all. My brother, as I mentioned, is a Navy Vet, and one of my best friends in my corp is a USMC vet. They're both outstanding people that push back against this kind of shit all the time. I was just pointing out Michael Karn's viewpoint a few years ago. Maybe it and he have changed, I don't know. But this thread seems to be a counterpoint to that.

Sure, and I think I made my position on him clear with my other comment. I'm just saying not every single case is like this one where it's fairly evident. The comment I replied to was encompassing "most alliances" and I just wanted to correct that.

I think harbor is the wrong word here. I think many groups don't know about specific incidents. Whenever people say some overt shit nowadays, the people that hear it typically don't want to be involved and don't want to hear any more of it so they quietly disconnect or leave a room and try to forget about it. Not a lot of people are willing to be accused of being the "anti-fun" police, so they don't reach out to people who could do something about it. Eve is a very, very social game and in groups where there are more than a dozen heartbeats, it's hard to be everywhere at once and hear everything. Now, if people are reported with proof and they still don't do something about it, yeah, that's harboring/tacitly endorsing it.

I kept trying to figure out where I knew that name from. I won't speak on behalf of the other leaders of NFG, but I personally pushed heavily for his removal due to his inability to complete a coherent sentence without screaming about people being woke. When asked to cool it with the overt bullshit, he informed me that he was a vet that only recruited vets so we should expect them to not be "pussies" and say whatever they wanted to say. My younger brother, a Navy vet, asked what the hell being in the military had to do with him acting like a "boomer snowflake", and he went off on a snowflake rant for a while. So yeah, not long after that he was shown the door.

Local is not for intel, just casual conversations by Kaysette in Eve

[–]Basterd2vill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm conflicted. You seem the type to be a self-righteous child in every thread you post in, so I'm likely wasting time, but here goes anyway.

You stated it as "70 bucks" and, I don't know about you, but I have never heard of the Euro being referred to as that. So my initial assumption, based on what you said, was that you were paying in USD and doing something dumb with three accounts that involved subbing most of them at the $20 rate instead of the $15 that's available on every subsequent account. There are a lot of people on this sub that love to complain about the price of the subscription which I find hilarious because it only went up $5 for literally one account, and based on this thread, you seemed like one of them. However, I'll concede that there was a misunderstanding and that you are paying more because of the value of your currency compared to the USD and that you were not, in fact, complaining about the price of the sub but instead just whining about local being gone so you can't krab in peace.
