There really is no real reason to do it, since he immediately admitted his mistake and apologized. It took the wind out of the whole thing before it became unmanageable. It's now your standard political scandal with people making a lot of fuss about it in order to achieve their own agendas, but it will blow over nevertheless. His resignation would be convenient for some interests, but just convenient. It is in no way necessary. It might happen if he wants to martyr himself or CCP volunteers him for the role, but ignoring direct CCP intervention, a proper politician would have no problem weathering something like this.

I voted for Seleene though, so I don't really care whether he stays or goes.

The only reason why he apalogized was because there was a uproar. Everyone knows what kind of a person Mittani is. This is called cyber bullying. And it is so funny how people say "this is eve, blahblah, its brutal, blahblah, kill or be killed, blahblah". What he has done is, taken eve into RL and gave out the guys evemail address. That is kind of absurd, that CPP will not ban mittani for cyber bullying.
Off with his head.

CCP is investigating this. It's that simple. I actually hope CCP won't ask about the public opinion about this, as it's a serious case, which goes into real life, where rules apply. Suicidal player or not, you just don't joke with that the way it happened. I'm pretty sure CCP will judge this in a professional way. However I applaud The Mittani's apology to the community.

Edit: I would not blame CCP for closing topics regarding this.

No. It would be Stupid and Trivial to go out like this, taken down by a drunken side comment that was exploited by the press after winning a second term as CSM chairman. Instead, Mittani needs to survive this, thus increasing his ego ten fold, thereby encouraging him to keep doing increasingly extreme, crazy and arrogant things until his Ego can't pull it off anymore, at which point he goes out in a Blaze of Supreme Vain-glory, in an event that we'll be talking about in the years to follow.

But this. This isn't the way to go out. There's no glory. Nothing worthy to remember.


This is exactly how I feel.

So no.

NO!!

No actions by player TOONS should have ANY impact on ANYONES 'RL'.

If anyone gets that upset over what happens in a game, then they should've stopped playing a long time ago.

And he apologized anyway.

He who has never put their foot in their mouth cast the first stone pl0x.

That's not cyber bullying , idiot.

Cyber bullying has to be bullying someones ACTUAL person, not their player TOON in a GAME.

If you can't tell the difference than I cannot help you.

In no way has anything been taken into 'RL'

I cant stand overdramatic morons. Nothing better to do?

Yes - and make Seleene new chair, i feel he could be a suitable replacement as he has been playing eve since near the start and actually has a clue about changes the game has been through from the start.

also looking at some of the mittani's twitter posts the day after or so about people getting mad about profanity etc... makes me think he doesnt care at all.


Remember at the start he (says he) didn't have net hooked up. Tweeting and browsing from phone. Was on a plane, unpacking etc. I know a few people there were to busy to get on during the trip home. If you check, he comments how (and isn't an excuse) he didn't remember the comments, regrets, blah blah. But recommend you go back and read all tweets, plus the apology, if you feel the statements of remorse are false, well, that is for yourself personally to decide.

Yes.

Not because I think he broke any rules, or should be banned, or is a bad person, or Titan nerfs, or he shouldn't be on the CSM, or any of that other irrelevant stuff.

He should resign because he said he would. Plain and simple. Had he not said he would resign, I would say "no".

Yes, of course he should resign from the CSM.

Yes, he should be banned from all future CSM elections.

Yes, of course he should be banned from Eve.

Anything less will permanently damage the CSM, CCP, and Eve.

yes, it's better for PR, that's how it goes when your in public office.

unlike being a nameless player, he holds a lot more power and weight with his words, becuase he was voted in by the playerbase. thus, if he thinks something sure maybe some people say in game and it's fine, it is instead heard by 1000's of players, and ACTED APON.

he knows he wasn't being careful with how powerful his outreach has become as an in game character. That is not the real him, and now he knows his CHARACTER must resign if the CSM is too have any credibility to the gaming press. So if he doesn't leave he could ruin CCP.

But the most damage he has caused with his actions is to his own RL career. That apology was probably designed to try and salvage his RL career in Law, it's not a genuine apology to the EVE community. What he said has got to have some kind of impact on his RL job prospects. For someone who is supposed to be a responsible and trustworthy RL professional, making comments like that on camera to thousands of people is just plain foolish.

Career Limiting Factor as we say in England! C.L.F.


right, this isn't an argument about cyber bullying, and what it is.

if you do something wrong, you have to own up, or risk a lot of backlash from many areas in life.

He isn't going to go down with the boat just to make a point, it's just a game.
