HolgerBier on why people fight in Eve:

Some people like building sandcastles. For that, they need to get sand.

Some people like peeing on people's sandcastles. They then pee on that said sandcastle, or pee on the people who are gathering sand.

Typically people don't like it when other people pee on their sandcastles or shovels. They then pee back.

Sometimes two groups meet that like peeing on other people. They then have a pissing contest. If the pissing contest was close, then they put golden fluids or "gf" in local chat. Sometimes people bring out many more people or people who have eaten asparagus. That's not considered nice. Then there is no golden fluid.
