How CCP reacts to this shows whether they condone this level of behavior or not. If they do, at least we'll know what folks can get away with in EVE. Pushing for RL violence and death will become an acceptable tactic for dealing with your enemy.

CCP might not give a toss for there public image...... others may not be so high on blow and hookers


Wonder if anyone bothered to let Sony know? lol

Are you drunk and or high right now? Your posts are clearly being made in an inebriated way, and clearly you should be removed from your corp and alliance, perma banned, and should be fired from your job, and put in prison because of this.

I like how the internet hate machine is using this out of context remark to go into overdrive to hate on some one. White knighting so they can go on a jihad.

Well written, Alex.

You're still a terrible person, and an excellent candidate for Chairman for Life. You should be chained to that Chair position as punishment for being such a wanker. No, I didn't vote for you so feel free to ignore everything I say. The Mittani is the type of sadistic megalomaniac that every fiction universe needs as a common enemy to fight against, or the common great leader to ally under. I appreciate The Mittani as the villain of the piece, and I appreciate Alexander Gianturco a committed participant in our game.

Sure, Alex is a smug douchebag who I wouldn't afford a chair at my table if he was dying of starvation, and what he said at Fanfest was particularly stupid. But being so obnoxious in public lends more credence to the public perception of The Mittani as "Dr. Evil" and the Goons as Public Enemy #1. So really, being such a twit means that Alex is really doing the very best he can to give life to our virtual world.

In the context of the Goon internal communications channels, the joke the Alex made would have simply been one of any number of poor attempts at black humour which would be chuckled over until the next beer, and then forgotten. Attempting to share some of the Goon sentiment with the rest of the world via the Alliance Panel was probably a bad move, and I'd advise Alex to get a more straight-laced and sober person to review the presentation notes before heading into the Alliance panel.

So the community has had their chance to rage. This has really spoilt my enjoyment of a great Fanfest production, and I'd really like to get back to telling CCP how wonderful they are and basking in the glory of the upcoming patch, Dust 514, Direct X 11 tessellation, and ring mining.

Nah, they are too busy getting high on blow and hookers.

You gotta grind them hookers up real good before you can shoot them up, ya know?

He made a bad joke that has been said a thousand times everywhere in game, on these forums and on outside forums. This is exactly the same thing as what happened to Clarkson from top gear when he made a joke about strikers needing to be shot.

Because comments related to a video game are obviously on the same level as trying to convince a man to kill himself in real life.

Jesus you people are detached from reality. Get off the game and go outside once in a while, realize that there are real life human beings and its not all the pixel LARPing and internet spaceships you have become used to. Your "chairman" is just another drunken nerd with serious issues who apparently likes the idea of people killing themselves for his own satisfaction. Dude must have been picked on WAY too much as a kid, man.

If CCP doesn't remove him from the CSM they'll be crucified by the overly liberal media.

That damage could undo the good they've done since Crucible.

What is the 'greater good' you speak about? Griefing happens everyday in EVE, in different levels. It is because CCP has taken different approach than other MMO's: they have allowed it in their game, while in some other games you would be banned right away when calling someone 'stupid'. I'm 100% sure that many of these posters who come here to cry about The Mittani and his actions have actually done similar things themselves. That is hypocrisy, my friend.

The Mittani has done well in CSM and was re-elected with massive amount of votes. Serving the 'greater good' in this case would mean him continuing in his position. Everyone does mistakes, everyone slips at some point, but one certainly shouldn't be crucified for that. Especially if he can make many other things better for a big bunch of people.

The Mittani prescribed SPECIFIC actions to provoke a SPECIFIC player to kill himself. Anyway, I don't know why people continue to defend him. The guy admitted his mistake and it is now in CCP's court.

I think its a good apology and it was the right thing to do. I listened to some of the streams from fanfest, I kinda had turned off the alliance one where the event occurred as it was clear most folks were drunk to me thus I didn't see this play out.

Ultimately though with the bad press etc, CCP will probably have little choice but to remove him from the CSM. However in light of the apology I hope that he does not receive a permanent ban from the game.


You didn't see the event but you want him to resign? That is the nature of the mob.

He made a bad joke. Why are you taking a bad joke said at the alliance panel of all places seriously?

I got it, everyone at fanfest understood it so why can't you?

It wasn't even a unoriginal joke. This kind of thing gets said day in day out everywhere in EVE and has been for all the years I have been playing. There is nothing new about any of this.
