EVE General Discussion

Some people should try to figure out what the difference between an avatar in a computer game and a person in reality is. He made a bad joke about an avatar, a fictional figure, in a game.

I mean as a matter of permanent policy. The people who are joking about it are highlighting the farce that is threatening to kill yourself over a video game.

If we are really genuinely concerned about people with suicidal tendencies harming themselves over Eve, then they should be reported to the relevant authorities and banned from the game that is apparently causing them such anguish.

The Mittani has spoken, and he hates The Voters.

"I'm not sure why you are defending a manchild who got divorced over his addiction to Eve Online through the usage of his 22 accounts. That idiot brought up that he might off himself. Mittani never solicited him to do it in the first place. You're acting that using suicide to get their way is a perfectly acceptable method when it's not. ALl I see here are crybabies looking for an excuse, anything, to get the goons banned from the game. I've scammed at least 80 miners during the mining interdiction and at least 4 of them have threatened to kill themselves if I don't give back their isk. It's not my damn problem that they are willing to try and use it as a bargaining chip. If anything, threatening suicide in this game should be an instant permaban. "

There are drama queens online constantly throwing that threat that they will kill themself around in MMO's.

It has been going on all the way back to DikuMuds on the Telnet many years ago.

Scenario:

You (the playerkiller) kill their character.

They convo you and drop a variation of the phrase, "I'm thinking of killing myself."

THE PERSON THREATENING THIS IS A CLASSIC GRIEFER TRYING TO BAIT YOU INTO GETTING YOURSELF INTO TROUBLE, they are simply trying to get you to violate ingame policy since you defeated them.

Your best reaction at this time is to report them to whatever authority the game has to cover your own backside.

Then you should deny the attention whore what they want most. Attention. Add them to ignore or block them or whatever you do in the game to never read one more character of text that character ever attempts to send to you.

Time will go on and eventually the griefer player will get bored with the game and go be a griefer in another game.

p.s. I STRONGLY agree that if a player threatens suicide the ingame authorities immediately permaban the account. Furthermore I would recommend the game company notify local law enforcement that the person threatened to commit suicide to protect themself from any legal blowback in case the person actually attempts and/or succeeds at suicide.

if mittani resigns then i am assuming all his felching goonie cohorts that were backing him 100% will likewise apologize for worshiping a false idol.

whats that, your all still supporting him ? troll lol loll

In the words of Dennis Leary - Life Sucks wear a helmet.

Human beings make me sick, everyone is such a p*ssy, I generally can't stand people anymore. Boo hoo... I got scammed in eve and therefore my life sucks. Christ you knowing played a game this is literally about griefing other people...

What this planet needs - Dariwin Theory of Evolution re-introduced for the human race....

If the guy is dead .... can I haz his stuffz?

Because this has **** all to do with Bullying and everything to do with CSM rejects and Titan pilots smelling blood in the water.

Once again,
I will only say this,
presidents and ministers of real life countries resigned for smaller things.

He admits that it's not an excuse, hence the public apology plus other actions he intends to perform.

People must realise actions in this supposed 'fantasy' space still carry the same consequnces as RL

If this had happened in a school between the football team and the computer club the same things would apply..

Why should we NOT report to the authorities
