5punk

What Bobbins said^

oddly, this really wasn't intended as a wind up thread. But I can see how the over-sensitive might take it that way, I apologise for your misunderstanding.

Must say, I didn't get that vibe when I was reading it. Think perhaps everyone eve-ish needs to calm down, have a nice cup of tea, then re-read this and have a giggle

It was posted in slight frustration, but I honestly didn't intend anything against evers or their religion, just to give them something the game could be voted for in, as I know they feel very, very strongly about it.

See, you've wound him up now, don't poke the bear with sticks, it's winter he's meant to be hibernating!

Without wanting to sound overly sensitive, it's actually making me want to partake less in the wider 5punk community and just stick to the Eve forum, since apparently I don't play the games that the 5punk democracy has chosen to be flavour of the month. Right now in fact, lacking reliable internets I've been hammering Oblivion a bit, does that make me any less 5punky because it's not 'current'?

Berk and Pete, I'm asking you nicely...please stop it. It really isn't very 5punky.

In all honesty Friz, I rarely play any games with the 5punk community, I've been dipping in recently but I'm so shit at them, it's hardly worth it. Seriously - I'm really bad. This said, I do feel just as much a member (rolf!) of the community as anyone.

Thing is, although I never see you in games with the rest of the crowd, I see you as one of the major members (pfft) of the community. You were here before I was and established well. I don't see this as a gaming community as such, rather a community that play games together when they can (obviously for some of us it's a lot more than others). For example, how often do we see WEY play games?

So yeah, try to ignore Berk's poteen strength hatred for Eve (whch I really enjoyed when I played it for a while) and the rantings of a psycho loooking, sexual rash obsessed ginge (love you Pete).

Also come and talk to the rest of us about your fave games of the year, that's what I'm off to do.

I'll leave that extra 'o' in there, because I love you too.





Also, Just because you don't see them much.

I've been waiting for an time and place to post this:

omg! the fabled draama llaama!

I think you should all take a shit load of acid and chill the fuck out

Or give it all to me anyway, just no beefs

/me hopes that my post using the word 'argue' didn't wind anyone up. I meant argue like debate, not escalate into a nuke fight. Sadly, nobody has 'argued' like that. Oh well.

Points for Eve being the best:

LOTS biggerer than Freelancer.
Better Graphics.
Vastly larger community.
More robust resource/trade system, with the ability to build or recycle items into their mineral components.
The ability to create static installations in space. (Both POS's and Outposts).
One server to rule them all, and in the darkness bind them. (Without that, I'd not have met you lot)
Skills that train even when you're not online.

Points for Freelancer being better.
More intuitive combat/flight system. The ability to 'steer' ones ship vs. the eve flight setup.
No monthly fee.
Single player story mode.
Worm holes that could be 'discovered'.
Aliens.

Points against Eve:
Daily downtime that's not always on schedule.
LAG in key systems
LAG during large battles
Updates w/ buggy bug bugs.
Isk farmers pushing the mineral prices down.

Points against Freelancer:
Only hodge-podge player based servers to play on, no guarantee your hard work won't get dumped when some 12 year old finally grows up and goes to college.
No new content (that I'm aware of anyway) since it launched.
No skills that get you excited to log in and fly that cool new ship you've been waiting to fly!

Can we argue like this now?

Fix'd.

You big award-whore you.

Look, this is now branching into pointlessness. Just for once, it wasn't a wind up, let it go.

Erm, point of order mr Himler sir!

Surely dres was quite correct in what he said. There may or may not have been new content fullstop (first or third party), but Dres is unaware of it.

BOOBIES!

WILLIES!

Absolutely. The point I was trying to make was that third-party modders have added a significant amount of content to Freelancer since its release.

NORKS!

FLANGE!
