So at what point is it ok again to "kill" him in game?

Do I have to threaten to kill myself to petiton any gank attempt against me and get people banned?

Congratulations CCP, you just accomplished everything you claimed you were setting out to stop.

This is clear harassment, players involved should be banned.



It is clear harassment and players will likely get themselves banned if not worse. Worse being real legal action against them.



How the hell is it harassment to place a bounty on someone using the in game bounty system?

As long as they act within game mechanics its not harassment, sorry, but CCP brought all the attention on the man in question, he wasn't going to be bothered until they made a mountain out of a molehill.\

If i was the man in question i would actually talk to a lawyer, as CCP has unquestionably put him in a position where the largest portion of the game possible hates him.



You can't use the game mechanics as an excuse to actively victimise a player as the intent has nothing to do with the game. You could find yourself in a court of law. CCP are watching and they will deal with it harshly because they'll have to.

Good way to clear out the sociopathic scum from the game if they do this. Ban them all.


Also Mittesn got a 30 day ban and removed from the CSM.

The precedent has been set.

We all know the bounty system is broken beyond a joke. It's therefore more likely that people have been donating ISK to this guy in support.

Go pod yourself, mate!

Think that if you want. If said people go out of their way to harass that guy they will get a ban. I'd be very very scetchy on going out of my way to get this dude.


1) You make yourselves look like a bunch of babies going to go bother someone that had no idea that Mintanni would get HIMSELF banned


2) They are going to get the banhammer. CCP is not going to have to time to listen to your half-assed RP, clever use of game mechanics reason as to why you are harassing said person. They are just going to ban you, and no one wants that.

Don't be idiots, don't get yourselves banned for something so silly.. Why implicate yourselves as some sort of accomplance after the fact?

The said it's wrong, you'd just be commiting the same offense..

So do I get this right, this guy is now immune to all forms of piracy in game? Can you tell me when his psychy is good enough for him to be ganked again? Will CCP tell me its ok to gank him again? Do I have to petition them to find out?

Ok how about this for an idea:

CCP adds a new option to the game. If you are feeling down and may cut yourself you can press a button in the menu. Once this button is pressed no can do any damage to your ship and no one can start a convo with you.

Will this make you "we have to make sure no one ever ever gets their feeling hurt" people happy?

Im ok with that i guess.

So...you got a ton of ideas to get the cat back into the bag.

Real life has a way of jumpin' up and bitin' you in the ass, don't it?

We have all these folkways, mores, rules and reggalations to PREVENT this sort of thing from happening.
Guess what happens when you get all convinced this isn't really real. Yeah. It suddenly becomes all kinds of real.

That has to be one of the stupidest, most ignorant things I've ever heard.

If a gaggle of ignorant people insist on taking their impotent rage out on an innocent person, that's not CCP's fault. Further, I hope they get what's coming to them....lots and lots of undesired, surprise anal.

"Don't do anything to my hero or I'm going to **** this puppy!!!"

Get a grip...at least on some semblance of a reasonable position.

If the original suicidal guy deserves to be laughed at, anyone taking this act or supporting it now needs to be mocked to the end of time, shat upon, stuffed in the garbage, and thrown into the cesspool that is their existence.

It has nothing to do with the fact that Mittani called the guy out in his stepping down post saying that the only reason he was stepping down as chairman was because the victim didn't completely accept his apology as sincere.

Naw, nothing to do with that at all.

HAHAHAHA!

What planet are you from??

You think shooting a pixel player in a game will land you in a court of law?

What about killing another FPS player over and over. Will they get a lawyer and sue your ass for greifing them? $500 fine for teabaggin?

You need to go outside, you're meshing your gamer life with reality.
