EVE General Discussion

IF this is really happening...it's wrong.

But don't spend your every waking in-game moment scamming, griefing and trolling every thread on this forum and expect anybody with any brains at all to believe ONE SINGLE WORD that ANY OF YOU say. Where the forums are concerned...goons are trolls and if this weren't happening to one of YOUR guys...you and your ilk would be all over this like flies on **** so spare us your indignant disbelief that it's finally coming back around.

Give one(1) example of goons attacking someones IRL dog or wife over something in EVE.

Closest I know of is FC who had power shut off to his house mid-fight, and I think BOB was behind it(tho I could be completely mistaken, I didn't follow eve politics back then)

I'm not referring to the alleged RL harassment - I'm referring to goons attempting to make serious posts on a forum which they regularly troll and expecting to be believed.

b. The fact that people can't quite figure out there's a diff between "Mittani" and "The guy playing EVE who call shimself Mittani" is really kinda sad.[/quote



^^ Which one was on stage calling for a grief attack in the hopes of having another player commit suicide

Other than that, I agree with you on your initial accounts. No player should be stalked in real life.

That said, are you seriously trying to tell the general EvE population to stop being mean to the guy that blatantly called for someone to be pestered...to death?

Seriously, back that memorex tape up in your head, and play it again

The thing that bothers me the most is CCP's slow, and awful response. This should be done already. They need to seriously overhaul fanfest. When this gets to mainstream media (not geek gamers blogs) the excrement will hit the rotary device

The fact that CCP damage control was discussing an EvE Crisis Hotline....has anyone heard of this? Is it in the help menu? I cant even find a Google link... someone type suicide in local, maybe a GM or DEV gets online, Dunno
Maybe Aura knows

Don't mistake this rant for taking the issue lightly. I don't expect to see the name Mittani in EvE again, much less CSM. Regardless about how the drones may feel about him, he screwed up...badly. I don't care if it was Cyvok, Blacklight, or any other alliance leader now or then.

As for the dog, maybe Madison PD can put him in protective custody. Hes an innocent bystander in all this. Leave the dog alone

Oh,

I didn't realize alcohol was involved...

all is forgiven.

Ok, can't argue with that one.

Its actually a GM procedure, in any petition that has certain key phrases and trains of thought(and the line 'I am gonna kill myself if x doesn't happen' is not one of those flags).

Most customer service professionals get similar training, both in recognizing real situations and in handling them(usually handing the issue off to a professional counselor) especially in the MMO business because people take their games WAY too seriously.

I know of a petition(in a game that will not be named) where the player was going on how horde was evil and how could they ever be allowed to win, and trying to defeat their evil empire in the mighty alliance was the only hope he had left since his sister died in his arms. He did not once say he was gonna kill himself, but I know the cops were at his house within hours. THAT is a MMOs suicide hotline, the fact that the GMs are trained to recognize and respond to legit suicide issues instead of 'I'm gonna kill myself because my stuff blew up and goons are meanieheads'(which may sound familiar if you read the post that was shared at fanfest).

99.9% of suicide threats are actually emotional blackmail. Real suicides don't advertise because they want to succeed, and if you don't want to succeed you are not going to actually do it.

That comment, even if it was sober, does not justify RL threats of violence against someone, especially not their wife or dog.

Cheers, fixed :D


Those faggots who cross the line in the name of revenge and threaten are even bigger assholes and should be permabanned.

But still it's true that actions have consequences, whether the consequences are a justified or not is irrelevant, when you can easily avoid them by not being an ******* to others in the first place.

Good deeds and bad deeds backfire sooner or later, it's up to us which ones we prefer.


This is actually my last post on the Suicidegate.

He posted an apology to the public and to the victim and admitted his mistake, it's all good. I hope it didn't hurt CCP too much, and I hope this incident helps to draw the line.

Fly dangerous o7

Goon tears how sweet :)

Im going to run for the CSM next year on the ticket of publicly molesting Mittans on stage at fanfest next year.



And also getting the CCP playerbase to go on diets and start shaving properly


I hoping to gain a lot of support
