If I believed you actually care about the game and it's future development for the entertainment of all, rather than for the select group of individuals with similar immature and reckless atttudes you represent, then I'd believe the apology.

If you really care about the game and not just your self interest, man up and resign immediately. Go off and carry on roleplaying the super villain, which of course I believe panders to your childish egomaniacal sense of worth. By all means, continue leading the herd of bleating sheep you call an alliance to glory, just don't think you can pander to the masses ("pubbies"?) or CCP and worm your way out of a display of total real life arrogance and lack of decency.

CCP if this foolish individual continues to hold onto his CSM title it will make a mockery of the organisation. I strongly suggest he is asked to resign.

Case closed.


Darius doesn't lead anything. He's a bit of a tosser who likes a laugh on comms and pays for SBUs, with absolutely no interest in being anyones leader. In fact he's the antithesis of leadership. Try harder. In fact don' t try harder I don't indulge in forum arguments. Case stated, opinion expressed. End of convo.

This sick and sadistic attitude of Mittani's is hopefully not just his "roleplaying as a bad guy" ideals coming out in real life. If this would be the case, it would imply that he is in a deep state of psychosis and is unfit to be a public figure to stress the opinions of multitudes of people. I certainly do not condone this behavior as acceptable. As said before, "The real you comes out when you are drunk".


Hey, sometimes when I drink beer I get belligerent and yell alot. Sometimes when I drink hard alcohol I get super irritating and annoy the **** out of my friends. So even though I am a level-headed rather shy person when sober, I am really an irritating ******* underneath. I have female friends who get more frisky when they drink. When sober they are very proper women, does that mean they are all really sluts?

I think what you are trying to say is that the worst comes out of people when they are drunk, not necessary their "real" personality. Otherwise what am I to think of your mom when I got her hammered?

Mittani must be reprimanded for his severe actions against this poor suicidal person he had targeted to mock and make fun of in spite of his situation.


It is very stange how some would openly allow and feel no remorse for this sick and sadistic behavior exhibited by Mittani. Monsters will be monsters, I suppose.


Would that be be the poor suicidal person that joked about his "I want to die after my divorce statement"?

Or the poor suicidal person who was completely unaware that he was supposedly being "cyber bullied", and could care less about all this nonsense?


I did a double take, the logic almost seemed to good to be true.

The votes show that the word you are looking for is "vast majority" not "select group of individuals."


In a game of 360,000 players... 10,000 is hardly a vast majority.

What a showman this Mittani ! Now everyone in EVE, even those who never go to the forums, will know about that, and made an opinion. And “Opinions are like assholes. Everybody has one.” It's all good.

At last, he wasn't nude and dancing on the table !

It costs less than two hundred US dollars to buy 10 billion ISK.

That is not real money.

I find the claim of the Mittani that this amount is meaningful extremely insulting.

"Sure I BLEEPED your girlfriend, but here is a whole two hundred dollars!"

"Wow dude, that's like big money, no problem!"

"Really?"

"No. Not really."



Thought I would never have to resort to this. ITS A ******* GAME YOU MORON


I watched the youtube video. Graphics sure have come a long way.

THAT was in-game? Wow.


You are the one bitching that the amount of isk given as compensation wasn't worth enough RL money.

10 bil is a lot of isk for an individual. What were you expecting, the entire goonswarm alliance wallet being emptied? The guy wasn't even hurt by this, in fact he seemed to enjoy the attention from the logs I read.

what i find interesting about this whole thing is if michael bolton had said it no one would of gave 2 ***** about

alex apologised and i for one expect it, yes i have depression and what ever that phober (or how ever you spell it)is that you find it hard to be around people and even harder to leave the house,hell i play mmo's sole because its harder an take alot of energy to be social.

do i want you to feel sorry for me no and alot of blokes out their that have the same thing don't want people to feel sorry for them or be all softly with them that makes it worse we just want to be treated like anybody else and that for me really pisses me off about how you guys have blown this WAY out an made out like alex is the worst person in the world even more than hitler.


the real issue here is that the miner in question has a real issue that he is either not ready to except or is in the process of dealing with it.Nor do we know what has happened in this guys life to put him in this state,the thing that he is running 22 accounts and says he is not botting worries me more than what a drunk eve player said.makes me wonder that he is trying to use eve to hide away from dealing with real life.

yes it takes a real man to apologise for their behaviour an willingness to fall on their on sword for their actions and i call the rest of you alex hater's a bunch of gutless wonders and cowards and i would even look at how some of you have behaved during this as being just as bad an maybe even worse.


no i don't like goons nor the mittani but i know that everyone loves to hate them at least publicly anyway.

Probably because we weren't paid 10B ISK to let it go.


More like because you feel a desperate need to white knight someone who doesn't need a white knight and a fanatical need to bring the Mittani for any number of reasons.


It's called metagaming ... sucks pretty hard when you are on the receiving end.
I'll just keep reading and pour me another glass of goon-tears.

Nothing clever at this time.

So when CCP contacted you and told you that your ass better apologize on forums ASAP, what was the first thought that ran through your mind?

I have exactly 0 reasons to believe shittens means the apology. It's just a calculated maneuver to reduce the chance of reprisals.

Pretty sure most don't go to real life events and represent the game company (+ the community for that matter), while making fun of someone openly who may or may not be suicidal. Any "non-major-player" would be banned immediately. People get banned for way less than that. In game is one thing. IRL is another entirely...

How do you know that CCP made him apologize?

Do you have proof he was forced? Or are you making a bad assumption based on preconceived notions?

"It was the alcohol, we were all drinking!"

Yeah, if it wasn't for any of that, Mittens would like... magically not be a horrible person.


Battered wife assumes he is hitting me instead of arranging for all of my ship losses to magically be payed for. And all I have to do is show up on ops nothing because peacetime reimbursement is pretty boss.


10.7 billiong ISK...
"arranging for all of my ship losses to magically be payed for"...

I'm starting to see a pattern here...

Hey Mittens, can I be your friend too? Oh wait - I'm not for sale, sorry.


Oh god the horror of a man gives me free ships. Clearly he has bought my soul with precious isku. My being in Goonswarm Federation has nothing to do with me being a Goon and everything to do with the money he gives me.

You have pierced to the heart of this matter.

To
The
Heart.

Alternatively you are stupid and don't get why Goons may be in Goonswarm Federation. Hint: If the Mittani was gone tomorrow I'd still be in Goonswarm Federation. If CCP fired CCP Sreegs and he rode over the hilltop with a bumblebee banner and shot Mittani in his head, then took over: I'd still be in Goonswarm. It doesn't matter who's in charge. Goons join Eve to play in a sandbox with Goons. Maybe you people despite dealing with our clannishness and being called pubbies every five seconds haven't figured that out yet. Maybe no one explained it properly.

Let me help. Goons are members of the SomethingAwful forum community. This community was one of the early "Viral" style sites, creating such lasting (Crap) meme's such as AllYourBase, and spawning offshoot communities (4chan is our bastard child). Most of us never played Eve, or if we did we logged in, shot a rock then quit. Eventually Goons decided "Ok we're kinda known for our wicked cutting edge (in 2001) humor, I bet if we joined a bunch of us together in this Sandbox we could really start kicking some sandcastles over" and lo that's exactly what we did.

Meanwhile other goons read about the Evegoon antics (Disbanding Bob, the Great War, Destroying Kenzoku, Destroying IT alliance, Spies, Metagame, Griefing, Ganks, ETC) and from outside it sounds like a very hilarious, active and vibrant community (it's all a trap to lure newbies in) even to the point of following those antics for years but never playing until eventually hearing all of the war stories hit critical mass and you ask someone for a trial code.

So here it is layed out: you are dumb.

You might be waiting awhile on that response. Its pretty late where he lives and I would imagine hes probably jetlagged to hell and staring at the back of his eyelids.
