EVE General Discussion

Mittani has posted a couple of times since his return, all of them in the thread that he created. Once to make the apology and once to announce one of his steps was taken. He knows what he did was wrong and since then he has gone to make right with the correct facilities.

What has the general public done in that time? How many threads have been locked since Friday? How many people have needlessly contacted WIS? How many people are telling CCP how to do their job right now?

Like you say, it takes 2 to tango. In this case we have 3; Mittani, Goons, and the general public. One has already gone to sit down, the other 2 have turned the dance into a mma brawl. Nobody who has posted, including myself, has the right to think they are a saint here. Point your fingers all you want, just make sure you are pointing one at yourself also.

Like I said, never underestimate the power of stupidity in large numbers.

Each post just further illustrates his point.

You do know the incident that the mittani was talking about was in the ice interdiction goons did.

It was not a couple of days ago.

:cripes: people dont know how to read these days...

I could not tell you and I doubt you could not tell me either. As for those silly enough to start new threads on the subject, CCP have been warning them and on some occassions a forum ban.




Saint Sasha, just does not sound right.

Again.. because you can't hide the truth.

Too True!

Precisely right, you shouldn't have to consider the out of game consequences like that, I've had my run ins with depression but I've never brought it into the game and used it to garner sympathy in any way, in fact I've taken a step back from the game while I got myself sorted in RL, which is what I would suggest to anyone I hear making claims of self harm.

In the end, this was indescretion. I'm quite disappointed by it from someone leading the CSM and would hope that people have a little more diplomacy in future in public, but this is taking on the appearance of a real witch hunt now. Opinions have been expressed countless times on either side, I'd rather go play the game now.

I completely agree with Terminal. The whole situation is being blown way out of proportion, how many times a day do you think some neckbeard tells some hisec bear to go kill themself, or posts shock pictures in local, or continually and personally harrasses other members. EVE is the only game I know of where the greatest thing you could possibly accomplish is causing somebody else to ragequit the game. The only reason it's such a shitstorm is because The Mittani is a brand name, same reason everybody throws a fit when Miley Cyrus does drugs. Everybody does drugs every day, and body gives a ****. But people whine now because they have a name to pin their tears to. Nobody cares what the Mittani said, every single person who is posting demanding his removal is doing so for purely selfish reasons. You can bring up the argument that the Mittani himself advocated spreading the story to major media outlets for Monoclegate. But that did not do or threaten to do any damage to CCP's relations with other companies, in this case Sony. Nor did it bring more attention to somebody's personal life/mental health issues. Same concept as the teacher bringing the fat/socially awkward kid to the front of the class to tell everybody to stop bullying him. These issues should be dealt with in private. Aside from that, if you're suicidal, then why the **** are you crying about it to the EVE community. May as well go to 4chan for emotional support at that point. The Wiz should know better and more than anything it just sounds like a whine for attention.

Weren't you the guy going on about free speech yesterday?


You can't possibly know that, even if it is true.

Well, my thoughts on people trying to get hold of Sony Twitter accounts to, literally, hassle Sony into pressuring CCP to do something about Mittani: go F U C K yourselves.
