I've read about those but I'm more referring to the cost comment. In eve it is common to hedge a loss as "ISK Positive" if the value of the ammo that blew you up costed more than your ship, as tallied up on the killmail.
- Sharlin 4y agoI can't not shake my head reading comments like this. Seriously, the concept of weighing the cost of an action vs the cost of inaction was not... exactly invented by Eve Online players. The entire point of warfare is to make waging war more expensive to your opponent than to yourself, whether in terms of men, materiel, dollars, or popular support. And the concept of a Pyrrhic victory is likely as old as war itself – even our very term for it derives from a battle fought 2300 years ago!
- jabroni_salad 4y agoNice, you spent 479 characters to say literally nothing. I'm +80 characters positive now in this thread where I also have said literally nothing.
- Sharlin 4y agoHN happens to be one of the rare places on the modern internet where just flapping your figurative mouth pieces for the sake of flapping your figurative mouth pieces is not looked upon favorably. The attitude of "have something to say or shut the fuck up" is very refreshing. And if you think that I didn't say anything… I suggest re-reading my comment.
- ilyt 4y agoI mean your entire comment could be just "...also known for centuries as Pyrrhic victory" and lose nothing but some words
- Sharlin 4y agoThe rest was important context, IMO. It was less “this already has a name” and more “this is the very essence of warfare”. And has been for tens of thousands of years.
