I highly doubt that. I think he's probably wondering what sort of idiotic world we live in where someone playing a video game uses real-life suicide as a bargaining device.

except that's not what wis did. And Mitt knows that because he knows the context of the emails in their entirety.

As a CSM 7 member I am extremely disappointed with Mittens behavior at Fanfest this year.

The CSM should not only represent the players that elected them but also represent Eve itself to the general public. Mittens in the past has shown himself to be very adept at messaging both in and out of Eve. I can't believe he could have been so misguided in calling for harassment of a possibly suicidal player.

I understand we can expect all manner of crazy behavior at Fanfest and previous goon leaders at the alliance panel have certainly made themselves "controversial" but I think this incident violates a boundary between what happens in Eve and real world damage. Whether or not the player in question was suicidal isn't the point. The point is, in a world where cyber bullying is an emerging issue, we have a prominent figure in Eve clearly calling encourage a real life suicide. That can't be defended on ant level.

Mittens, I've supported the right for folks to act out in Eve as a valid part of the "sandbox", but I can't support your recent actions.

At a minimum we need Mittens to apologize and admit he crossed the line with his behavior. I call to the other elected members of the CM7 join me in this demand!

If the CSM is remain a viable part of Eve we have to adhere to some code of conduct. This recent event is a black eye for the CSM and Eve in general.

CSM 7 join me in protesting this disappointing public display of poor judgement!

We in the CSM owe Eve a much higher standard of behavior!

Then please explain to us all what The Wis actually did and what the context of those emails are. Because claiming you are suicidal after losing assets in a video game sure sounds to me like you are trying to bargain sympathy from the aggressors.

That number doesn't mean **** one way or the other without an explicit breakdown of account-vs-RL-player, and of what in-game demographic those accounts represent, and if they are alt-accounts, and for what purpose they are, if they are, among other factors.

TL/DR: That number means nothing given the prevalence of alt-accounts in this game. You should find a "meatier" statistic to play with.

Next!


The bolded part is ******* ********. No accounts less than 30 days old were allowed to vote. The numbers posted were for accounts greater than 30 days but less than 250 days old. Which is actually a huge portion of players.

All this chest slapping over <30 day old accounts is stupid and you are all idiots.

someone else can crosspost it from our forums, but according to our own polls (of just goons!) on average everyone put in somewhere around 1.8-2 votes

He might choose to quit eve himself. He might choose to resign from csm chair himself (it is the right thing to do) he might quit csm himself (also perhaps the right thing). But if he doesn't then CCP is going to need to act and they would be immeasurably helped by the remaining CSM actually manning up and realizing that one of them is going to need to be chair in order to return a bit of self-respect to the office after the disaster that was the fanfest alliance panel.

Now perhaps you are a bit insulated from the almost universal disgust at what happened on that panel by virtue of your peers (who admittedly don't seem to realize what was wrong about what happened) but I assure you the wider gaming media is in now such state of confusion and eyes are looking to Iceland to resolve this matter appropriately (or to feast on the scandal if it is not).

Short version the Chair of the CSM broke codes of conduct binding the behaviour of ordinary players. He did something that other player have been permabanned for. For him to remain in place after this would make a mockery of the CSM and CCP's own reputation for even-handed enforcement of rules.

The decent thing for Alexander Gianturco to do at this point is resign, quickly and efficiently and disappear for a time so that the CSM can announce a new chair and CCP can get back to harvesting the remaining benefits of a successful fanfest and exciting program of upcoming game developments.


yes, clearly goons are just insulated because they dont care about a thing a blog said, and because they dont care what you say
and we are definitely insulated because we understand that nobody gives a rat's ass about what a legion of npc corp posters are posting

so far i've seen no real scandal that would catch the attention of any real news outlet, gaming or otherwise, just a seriously impressive amount of forum trolling (you) that completely overshadows the real actual moral outrage that some people have over this. come check out sa some time the eve thread had a right fun time calling him a jerk!



fakeedit; i hate to ruin your dream but he doesn't seem to be quitting eve

Using your position on a public panel to call on people to terrorize someone into killing themselves is the wrong answer.

CCP should removed Mittani from the CSM and make him conduct a live apology on EveTV. It is totally deplorable attitude and don't give me the he was drunk story. Yes you may do stupid things when you are drunk but you choose to drink so are still held accountable for your actions.

I am in the military and if anyone ever did anything like that specially in the publics eye they would be demoted and have a field grade article 15 slammed on them. Pretty sure if you work for any company and do that you will also probably get canned. Would not be suprised if the CCP employee that was at the event doesn't get fired or at the least a suspension.

It didn't even turn out all that well What? Looks kind of greasy and the eyeshadow is a little tacky. Wait, does this count as an ad hominem insult? Well, most of this thread is crap anyway, don't care.



Also, RE: "Shadow Council" or whatever other cloak and dagger game some people think the CSM is playing. IMO it shouldn't be a requirement that stuff like votes on known issues and whatnot are kept quiet, the members should be able to divulge some information about their own actions if they want to. Nor should total openness be a requirement! I think that throwing everything up for public scrutiny as it happens is a pretty terrible idea. A lot of stuff that's discussed by CSM members is just idea-bouncing and tidbits of some thought process, but it won't stop drama mongers from seizing it and starting a shitposting flamefest. Additionally, discussion might touch ever so lightly on information that isn't meant to be released to the masses just yet (because it's not fully fleshed out, or whatever the reason). The NDA covers that, of course, but it is sometimes difficult to avoid the slightest mentions of something that someone keen might pick up on, lines can get blurry.

Electing representatives means that you trust them to act wisely on behalf of the constituency rather than making every decision directly guided by said constituency. Whether you think this is good or bad is irrelevant: this is how the CSM works, if you think it's awful and terrible then work to change it or STFU. IF the representative thinks there's good reason for them to keep something off public forums, there might be a good reason for it. If they never ever talk to the people they represent, then consider this a negative point on their record and feel free to feel cheated, betrayed, etc, and rescind your support if you counted on it being different based on what the candidate said in the past. There must be accountability and this demands transparency, but transparency doesn't necessarily mean that EVERYTHING must be put up for the players to inspect. For one, the forums would explode Lol

Otherwise, trust the representatives to make a good decision, criticize them for a bad one, etc, but don't assume that they will act 100% of the time in a way that you personally agree with, and that if they act in a manner you disagree with it automatically means they aren't suitable for their post. Some things are a matter of opinion. Though if enough people express it, it's wise to listen to it and perhaps do more than merely take note, at least if re-election or public image are a concern Lol

Whether this is purely politically motivated or not is really unimportant. If you set yourself up as a world class dbag in a position of pseudo-power, someone is going to take advantage of it. If not Issler, then someone else.

Issler, most other CSM members are not speaking out because, sadly, they are better politicians than you. Wanting to discuss it, get the facts, wait for investigations, and other such excuses are just ploys to buy more time in neutrality while waiting for others (CCP or Mttani) to do the work for them. The evidence is public and irrefuteable, and not taking a stance immediately is simply being political.

I wish there were more like you.

What he did was in the public and acting as a Person not a player behind a screen. He did not do it in an inpersonal fashion. He was live in person telling people to tell another living human being to commit suicide.

Its one thing in game to say things but telling another person in game or in person to commit suicide that says they are suicidal is the wrong answer. When it comes to a beating heart and blood in the viens that is real life mate.

And once again another person on eve-o misses the point that people like Wis, especially on the internet, claim to be suicidal or have x problem to garner sympathy -all the damn time-. It's common, even. Especially among the younger crowd.

Yes, mittens did a dumb thing, but comparing his actions and him being on the CSM to being court marshaled or whatever is just ever so slightly blowing things out of proportion.

Oh by the way I once told an Assisted Suicide advocate he should kill himself. Maybe some of you white knight moral crusaders could tell me what to think and how to feel about it?



BTW the clothes you wear and the electronics you use are made by people who are frequently forced into conditions where they would WILLINGLY commit suicide as an escape. Maybe you can do something about that for me, or are you guys hypocrites?

With all this Drama around this CSM looks more like Pre-CSM6.

I DID NOT VOTE FOR THAT


What I want is effective CSM that can delegate player opinions to the CCP - and perform it's role in the SCRUM process of development.


What Mittani did is wrong, but Issler what you are doing right now is also not the proper way of CSM Member either.






People voted for you because they agreed with your vision - they share it and they want that vision to successfully reach CCP.

They didn't vote for you so you can start all this political drama. Not one bit. (If they did I am afraid they misunderstood the purpose of CSM)




TL.DR. I dont care about this drama as long as you do your job - This isnt your job.
