On a positive note we discovered just how much Sohkar hates African Americans. He has very strong opinions in that Teamspeak recording. A man of conviction!


For sure, making the victim look bad is a classic from abusive people.
You New Order guys are definitely building a strong defense for your Erotica 1 fellow. You make me sick.



You know what makes me sick.

People who attack someone so openly when his "victim" had every chance in the world to leave whenever he pleased. Erotica 1 and his friends did not keep him there forcefully or against his will.

It makes me sick that a portion of the community holds a double standard and that a CSM member blatantly harasses an EVE player the way he did.

This "victim" could have left at any time, his greed kept him there, his desire for exponential wealth. It wasn't Erotica.

This man lost faith, he gave into greed and strayed from the light.



Not the first time I read this "the victim could have left anytime" argument.
That's true for someone like you and me. But apparently, there is a fine selection process before being given access to this now famous bonus-room.
Imagine if the selection process was random, how boring it would be, having bonus-room sessions lasting only 30 seconds cause the lucky winner left the room almost immediately ?
But no, you can count on Erotica 1 and friends, they know what they are doing. They choose their targets very accurately and they know they will fall for it and stay for a long time.
They must be very proud this time, as Sokhar was exceptional in terms of duration, far beyond their greatest expectations.

So no, this "the victim could have left anytime" argument does not hold, not when the victim is specifically selected not to leave the room too fast.

Where do we go like that with the help yourself, grow a thick skin or die attitude ? What's the next step ? Not helping handicapped people in a wheelchair because you know, they could have made an effort and moved their ass, they have two arms, they could use them ?

Maybe you find me too caring or too idealistic but I cannot see the weak being abused without strongly reacting, especially when such a trap for the weak is so carefully designed and well prepared.


its not the 1st time I've heard of this selction process. Thing is, why are there people like this to select in the 1st place? Why do peiople who can't take it choose to play eve SINCE 2009 and not learn the game. I knew after a week to watch out for scams and that was 7 years ago.

As I've said before in this thread: many of you are just enablers for and apologists of stupidity and other bad things (like greed). People like Erotica1 keep everyone honest because you never know when a scam is coming, so even thoguh I'd never do anything like that, the game would really suck without it.

So what line did Erotica 1 cross?

I'm listening to this recording. I'm at 1:15:00, and so far all that's happened is they made him read The Code and Olga of Kiev. Pretty standard fare for a bonus round. The worst they've done so far is lightly tease him about his Elmer Fudd voice, meanwhile he's already had one angry outburst, swearing at everyone.

O. Kay.

Maybe things will change as the recording goes on, but so far... nobody's even talking except the guy reading these two documents and asked to look up words he didn't know.

So what line?

No TOS/EULA violation, no laws broken... so what line?


I can tell you he's done creepy stuff where a line was crossed. Having people read The Code isn't so bad, but believe me the man has done some pretty heinous stuff.

I don't know if it's been discussed, given how big the thread is probably, but he has a case-file which includes shirtless men, peanut butter, and underaged girls.

He will basically take a person as far as he possibly can without flinching. If anyone in Eve is a card carrying sociopath, it's probably Erotica 1.


I've known Erotica 1 for a while now. I've sat in and listened on many Bonus Rounds, winners and losers alike. Nothing ever really crossed the line, but Erotica 1 has been on the receiving end of some harsh verbal abuse. But all of that was consensual. I can't comment on the "underaged girl" - first time I'm hearing about it. Maybe you can provide a link to verify your allegation?

The stuff I heard about was on goon forums, may or may not exist anymore, and I'm not going to potentially expose myself to something illegal, nor am I going to get myself in trouble by posting goon crap on eve-o. He was run out of GSF for a reason and finding his posts is hard anyway.

Unlike many posters in this thread, I don't think Erotica 1 should be stopped or punished, because he's not breaking any rules here. He's just creepy as hell and I'm willing to confirm as much to anyone who has ears to hear it.

Bonus Rounds are sociopath level crap even if it's banal most of the time, I'm willing to complain all the way up to saying CCP should do anything, because they shouldn't.

If any Important Goons want to disclose some of the crap he's done that's 'over the line' they can, but i'm just a line member who is super creeped out by his actions. He has made me second guess some of my own past actions even though I've never come close to taking anyone for a ride like he has.


To my knowledge she wasn't underage, however exactly how the stunt happened is unclear. It is also entirely possible it was a guy, it was never entirely figured out.

Okay so, basically:

There was a rumor about a person, who may have been underaged, but who also may not have been; who might have been female, but who could have been a male, in which something happened that was not entirely figured out?

Yeah, that was pretty funny.

I do wonder what Ripard is up to, though. Clearly he's trying to force a confrontation with CCP on the matter by trying a media blitz after his own fashion. As evidenced by his use of as much hot button, inflamatory, charged language as he can shovel into his blog.

Did he just not get his way on something, and is throwing this tantrum now?

Jester's post was written after the Massively post. He's trying to coat tail on Erotica 1.

I don't have to do anything. I'm only stating my opinions and certainly not trying to teach a goon reading comprehension.

And that's because I was active in the shittani thread and no matter what was stated you knew better. There's just no point.

I would like everyone to take a little time. Google "Eve Online" and look under news.

The first Article gives off a "bit" of bad press. As it is titled "Here's some of the Cyberbullying that happens in EVE online"

Was it actually bullying according to the definitions? Idk, could sohkar of left? yes. Could E1 of just stopped, yes.

But it is every player in this game that contributes to Articles being titled like that. Gives a really bad vibe to non eve players. Just look in massively's comment section. Quite a few say they will never try eve because of stuff like this. And who's to really blame.

We are. The whole eve community was born on HTFU and ate scams for breakfast. Now it's just toxic. (turns out scams aren't a part of a daily nutritional breakfast)

Idk about you guys, but i'm ashamed to be a part of a community that condones this.

You New Order guys are definitely building a strong defense for your Erotica 1 fellow. You make me sick.



The New Order applaud anyone who treats their fellow man with respect and decency. Erotica 1 was nothing but polite in that recording yet had to suffer the abuse of an extremely unhinged racist EVE player. An EVE player who I remind you willingly participated in the bonus round. Sohkar had every opportunity to politely decline the invitation yet when he did not get his way launched into a verbal tirade and made real threats. Additionally his wife even joined the channel and started making threats against the good character of Erotica 1.

Erotica 1 even featured a number of very happy past contest winners in the Teamspeak chat to reassure Sohkar. Yet this still did not placate him. I think it is deplorable players of Sohkar's calibre should be allowed to play EVE when the majority of EVE players just want to promote a safe and secure community.


Yes, sure. You're all a bunch of respectful individuals.............. (sorry, I had to puke).
The wife did in fact beg you to stop and give back the assets to her husband. You could feel the distress in her voice and any decent human being would have stopped right then this macarade.

Knowing that this farce has been going on for some time now is even more appalling. It should have been stopped much sooner.

I don't know how you can live with yourselves, or more precisely, I do. But let me give you an advice from someone who knows quite well who Erotica 1 really is: be very careful with such a sociopath cause as long as you serve his purpose, you will be his friends and he will be cheerful and pleasant. But believe me when I say that you will one day be his next victims.

Good luck with that, you're in for a treat.

I'm only calling him a sick creepy scumbag of a person, and I'm not going to pour over the thread to find out Baltec's position, but I can guess that neither of us want a precedent to be set for scamming to be bannable.

I would assume that the timing of the whole thing is political.

It gets his name in lights at a time when the CSM vote is coming up and provides a platform that people will be able to use to judge whether he should be voted in or not.

I don't see anything altruistic in his blog entry. It seems more self-interest motivated than anything.

It may not be, but it's all too convenient for it not to be related to CSM nominations.
