EVE General Discussion

If you post in this thread again I will consider it harassment and report you to the authorities. Including but not limited to:
Your family
Your neighborhood
Your employer
Your local law enforcement

Most real corporations have zero tolerance for this sort of bad publicity, It will be interesting to see what happens. But then again when they actively promote grief you should expect this sort of stuff. Personally i feel it went way way to far, you do not ever encourage someone to do something like that. Most of us are adults and know better. EVE has potential but they need to learn that catering to degenerate behaviour is detrimental to being in business. For every hard core pyp'er out there, there is at least 10 people that do not care for that type of game play. In the end, I think EVE has to share part of the blame.

They could at that. This story has legs enough. Like them or loathe them, The Guardian dead tree press, for example (Brit left-of-centre cause-championing newspaper, as linked to previously in this thread) would jump on this like you wouldn't believe. I certainly wouldn't want Polly Toynbee on my case -the sanctimony would be unbearable. In perpetuity.

However, Mittani has made his apology, let's see how much this will ameliorate things. Don't hold the front page.

Thats It.

CPP THIS MAN IS HARASSING ME

BAN PLZ

"I never had sex with .."
"they do have chemical weapons .." (or was it biological?)
"I never took money ..." (well, this could be from every second politican *g*)

here is my view,

CCP created a unique game, and it definately attracted all kinds of unique players. the game has a unique learning curve. and the game has some unique leaning towards the dark side of things. that being so, it is inevitable that someone will rear up the dark side of his brain to commit some mischief in game, but for some committing mischief or creating the bad ass empire in game is a full time job. for some even, not having a good despicable laugh at the fallen is a sad affair. to some, they use this game to release the inner devil on unsuspecting victims.

so what did this bloke do at fanfest that made me wanna post this ? he said something in real life that encourages destruction of real human life, and bear in mind that it is not in game, and in full view of public. and to add fuel to fire, he encouraged thousands of players to do the same, to taunt a distraught person to end his own life. he should have just left his devil in game, but that being said, he probably is demonized in real life and has always been like that, i wouldnt know of course.

i have seen and heard numerous occasions of players taunting/attacking other players with the intent to create mental harm/distress directly and indirectly thru scams, etc. in short, within the eve game, the creation of such a scenario is the sole purpose of certain players. and i have seen players getting banned before if i am not wrong (a failed grief attempt and attacker uses racists remarks on the victim, etc). for the purpose of making a strong example of the mitani's potentially deadly behavior to fellow human beings, i like CCP to pass him the life time ban on all accounts (CCP may choose to refund him unused subs, i hope he doesnt buy a gun with the refunds to grief someone in real life).

1 of the raw truths of the game --> kill or be killed. but does he need to bring it up front to some depressed folk who does not need to hear it in his face? and to say it at a fanfest? and to publicly encourage other players to do it? yes it may sound like a joke at first to some, BUT i will not laugh at it. for followers of the mitani, shame on you if you think it to be trivial that you can impose on and exert your taunts of suicide on a helpless person. i will like to see your reaction when the tables turn upon yourselves the same heartless way.

being in a position of power and having an alleviated position to implant strong suggestions to players (and CCP devs), will he next encourage all less well off players to commit suicide? or will he be more bold as to say something else in everadio that is related to real life suicide again? will he then suggest to all his "followers" in alliance and in game to vehemently strike out at all vunerable players? or suggest to them that they could make a move like he did at fanfest and openly "declare" taunts at mentally challenged players? so now has mitani become a symbol of ultimate power in eve that he can command real life players to his beck n call?

in short, CCP should and MUST make an example of this event that has happen, let your evil game character remain in game. be a mature man and have respect for real life. CCP need to promote the fact that real life is what makes this game, and the game should not be used to destroy real life.

again i motion for the all accounts ban for this person who instigated this in full view of public. i do not think anyone in real life will be having a good laugh being on the recieving end of such degrading insults and attacks, and it is morally degrading for some one to just mindlessly laugh at the victim without thought. if such is the case, then CCP has not made a game for players to be positively challenging, but morally degrading in nature. so to CCP, you have to put your foot down right here.

cheers

Mittani is certainly a nicer guy than me - I wouldn't apologize for mocking someone who tried to garner sympathy in a spaceship game by dragging out a bunch of (unproven) facts about his personal life. If you're in such a bad shape maybe you shouldn't try to drop your problems on random strangers online and impose yourself on them?

I would never apologize for mocking someone that rude.

Now move along, we have better things to do than comment on one persons (drunk, but no excuse itself) comments to a question at a party (hosted by CCP, so what?) posting no real-life information, only in-game info (which happens all the time making fun of people about what they do in-game using their in-game info).

I love drama. Please keep it coming.

Where's Sandra Fluke?
