After respawning with a strong hangover in completely messy compartment, I wanted to check my appearance in the mirror and that's what I saw there ...



Apparently, we are some sort of descendants of vampires - Star Vampires *heavy breathing*

So, here you go - next time you see someone who starts shooting at you, relax, they are just thirsty!

The title misled me. I came here expecting to find a psychology discussion about the aggressive, chaotic nature of players in the PTU as a result of them having nothing to lose (i.e reputation, points, experience etc.), shooting everybody on sight just because there are no repercussions; and how all this is normal human behavior.
But no. Vampires. :D

Further discussion of origins of SC 2.0 sociopathic behaviour should not be limited to the assessment of physchological precursors. Considerable body of prior research suggests that biological causation may be cobsidered as a defining feature of sociopathic behavior (Birnbaum, 1930; Felthous et al., 2008).

This. Concur. The title is so misleading. Understandable where you're going with it, upon reading skill the comments. But why so many big words and thought things? Can't we just drink beer and crash? Adulting is hard. That's science

Indeed! Author should have used a better wording for title, e.g. "Vampires in the dark corridors of Sec. Station Kareah... True or Fiction"
Haha, drop a Twilight reference. EVERYONE would have come for sure. Silly author. ;) Ha.
