So here's a thought, and bear with me on this.

Corp thefts.

What are your thoughts on intentionally lying to someone/building their trust over days, weeks, months for the sole purpose of stealing everything possible?


IMO there is a big difference between Corp thefts and your "bonus room":

Corp thefts you build up trust over time, and then take everything in one swift chop. The act of betrayal is perhaps more brutal upfront, but it isn't an ongoing event.

With your bonus room, you spend the first 20 minutes taking all the stuff. Then you spend the next 2 hours playing with your victim, in a malicious manner, waiting for them to realize you took all their stuff and won't give it back.

Except that they can actually win their stuff back


Nice try for an attempt to depict the issue at hand as scamming.

The issue is not scamming. The issue is psychopathy and mental torture Erotica 1 inflicts on people which he vets out of EVE Online, in real life, through real life methods of communication.

However, if the issue was scamming, then what you have claimed could have been outed as a lie. Nobody can 'win' in a Erotica 1 bonus room. The idea of winning back the assets already lost to Erotica 1 is the psychological hook that Erotica 1 uses to conduct his psychopathic mental real life torture on his victims for deriving personal amusement.


Posting to confirm that being asked to sing Gummy Bears to the Rescue is in fact real life mental torture. A Goon said it so it must be true.

No, since there are no more given rules, it cant be "won".
The only thing that "can" happen, is that those guys decide the victim has won. The victim is completly on their whim.
The victim has been driven into this situation by charms and lies and ppl pretending to fancy and to help the victim.

I can confirm via voice chat that Salvos is not Sohkar. Possibly they know eachother, but they are not the same person.


He did have a friend who chatted me in game with a real life death threat during the bonus round. Maybe this is the friend. CCP can check the chat logs from that date if they choose.

Oh, so Salvos is on the wagon of RL death threats too?

That makes sense. He's made so not-so-thinly veiled threats in this selfsame thread, and when called to task on it, tried to play semantic gymnastics to get out of it.

Friendly reminder to all you trolls that asking to sings songs/read text DOES NOT EVER EQUAL any of the following;

- ****
- Torture
- psychopathy
- Duress (albeit it does equal durr hurr durr)
- the holocaust
- hitler
- waterboarding
- taking advantage of disabled people
- etc...

On the other hand, DEATH THREATS AND RACISM = NOT GUD.

There's actually a lot of debate amongst the psyche community about the issue. Is "ASPD" even a diagnosable disorder? Is "psychopathy/sociopathy" even real? If so, how does ASPD differ from psychopathy and how does psychopathy differ from sociopathy?

THANKFULLY, because of brain imagining, these questions are being brought to light.



I think me and you could be great pals, outside of this current debacle!

Anyway, aren't fMRI's awesome? We've discovered so much about how the brain works since that technology came out. Amazing the places neuropsychology is going.

From my own life, I've found it quite interesting and vindicating that brain scans of transgender people show they light up in ways typical of their "chosen" gender, and not birth gender. Great stuff.

Which is, what?
Oh, that's right.... GAMBLING.

Thank you for proving my point.

When the stakes are THAT high, there have to be a LOT of losers. Not everyone can win. That's just silly.

No, I would not find it acceptable for my friends and family to make death threats and racist remarks over a computer game the way Sohkar did.


Stop with that flawed reasoning immediately. The victim and his family were both under duress as a result of the mental torture that Erotica 1 and co instilled on them through real life communications software. Stop calling the victim a 'racist' to whitewash psychopathy.

By the way, speaking of racism, let me ask you a question:

"...however, unlike Obama, I'm a white male minority who served in the Army..."

Have you ever heard that quote before? If yes, can you tell me who actually said that?

It's about the cyber-bullying, making fun of a guy's speech impediment, and the scammer's overt desire to avoid CCP's user agreement by trying to move the whole thing offsite.

That's what this is about.
They don't really make fun of his speech impediment, and it disappears anyway when he starts calling them niggers.

The rest of the post is nonsense too, but that's one particular accusation I have not seen challenged thus far.


I too asked some people if they noticed he spoke rather clearly during the rant. This was debated but I didn't feel worth listening to just for that one point. I immediately thought of Ricky Ricardo when angry.

Im sure in this case the logs will convieniently show nothing.

Ohhh, I know. Like I said, one of my pet peeves. You'd think if a game company were going to be dumb enough to do something like deny access based on medical disorders, that they'd use the correct terminology!

The diagnosis of ASPD and DID also take a ton of observation and testing. IIRC, there are even specific warnings that say "Do not use a single incident of ASPD-like behaviour as a basis for diagnosis."


A game company in no way needs to diagnose anything.

All they need to know is that their game is being used to facilitate bad people who want to do bad things to people. It's not even a question of whether they would be morally corrupt in letting it happen. The real question is how will this affect their bottom line if it somehow manages to get some press.

It doesn't take much to see a company go from on top to a has-been thanks to determined people that get the right thing made viral. It would behoove CCP to get this sorted in a way that makes them shine in the best possible light. That means not trying to hide behind semantic legalese while making excuses for doing nothing. They need to paint themselves as the game company that draws a line between RL and game life.

Be a leader CCP, not another pass the buck loser company.

But even brain imaging is showing that many people have a least one precursor for ASPD.

And, iirc (been awhile since I worked in the MH field), you simply cannot treat sociopathy, which is the main reason it was changed to ASPD.

And not to mention, because sociopathy/psychopathy is so hard to diagnose/treat, most diagnoses of ASPD focus on psychotic triggers, not sociopathic ones.

Which begs the question....

Is sociopathy merely "the human condition?"

Once you realize what a joke everything is, being the comedian is the only thing that makes sense.

Of course I expected Erotica 1's associates and his army of alts to personally attack me for not condoning his real life psychopathy.

This is not even a lie, but rather a half lie that attempts to cast Erotica 1 under a good light for those who haven't taken the time to listen to the recording.

Aim here is to make you think that it was just a harmless, friendly troll or messing around with another EVE player. Anyone who actually takes time to listen to the victim and his family being subjected to psychopathic mental torture through real life communications for three hours would actually know that Erotica 1 is not your friendly EVE player who ransoms your pod for a song on voice comms.

How is it immoral? Honestly. Did you think Fear Factor was immoral? Because that game show kind of did the same thing Erotica does during the last few stages of the bonus round (asking one to voluntarily humiliate themselves and/or place themselves directly in the path of something they fear). Again... the contestant can walk away at any time. And there HAVE been winners. Just because it's REALLY hard to win, doesn't mean it's impossible.

When you play EVE, you get exposed to lots of different sociopaths, and that has been accepted as par for the course. Even players who are well-adjusted, high-functioning members of society, away from the keyboard, turn into cackling supervillains out to ruin everyone's day, the moment Aura says "connecting". And that fact has done nothing but give EVE publicity and subscriptions, since day 1.

Lastly..... are you seriously suggesting that every player should be expected to act like an ambassador for the game, and provide free advertisement to CCP? You MUST be a carebear, because only carebears willingly treat this game like a job.


No, I don't think that we should all act like ambassadors.

I do, however, think that this kind of extreme behaviour has great influence on EVE's reputation.

The best and the worst, that's what sticks.

And as I've already said, this does not make for good advertisement.

BR, Asakai, the GHSC heist, Burn Jita, goons piling 2k people in a systme, that's good publicity.

Some random guy humiliating another player is not.
