All of this is likely my own RL annoyances (nothing to do with in game) leaking into what I am writing. I feel 'too casual' for, as was pointed out, ten plus pages of discussion (which to be fair a few of them drifted to Amarrian religion, as threads do, they drift).
Its just that as I watch this, the non-RPing lowsec pirate in me starts pointing at the tear-harvesters in the midslots and gesturing wildly, because this is, ultimately, EVE Online, and this RP community is, ultimately, a tiny clique within it. When I see people getting this upset about this sort of thing I worry on a personal level as to how deep of an escape this "Monopoly Game" is.
Anyone who's watched The Guild webisodes has seen the 'stereotypical' gamers, highlighted harshly yet humorously, but remove the humor and you have a choice to either get genuinely worried about those people as people, or want to back away from them.
I'd rather not want to back away from anyone here, and would hope that something is being lost in text translation and for God's sake, on all sides, no one is taking any of this as seriously as it is coming across, and we're all posting pages and pages of explanatory pamphlets out of "I'm trapped at work and bored".
