And R A P E (why is "****" censored?) vicitms shouldn't dress provocativly? Your line of arguement is nothing short of moronic and offensive to people who have lost loved ones to this sort of behaviour. The victim of bullying is not the one to blame.

Sure, The Wis foolishly posted a whine-mail to a Goon - but that in no way justifys "Incidentally, if you wanna make the guy go kill himself, his name is The Wis. He has his own corp. Find him."

The Roadhouse deflection from the Goons over the last 12 hours has been funny, but it's done nothing to change the issues. An elected player representative drunkenly crossed the line from legitimate in-game griefing, to out-of-game cyber-bullying and he will face some sort of consequence.

Jesus....

Seriously, he made a ****-up while pissed, then soon as he realised what he had done, apologized and tried to make amends.

I can't see how he could of been expected to do much more than what he has already done, the mistake is already made, if the person he insulted has accepted the apology and I hope mittans sent him a chunk of ISK as well, then its story over. Everyone makes mistakes.

He may be a goon and a lawyer but he is still a human being, vaguely at least ;)

PS. Not a goon, never been a goon and not a Mittani fan, but fair is fair after all.

It's not just a embarrassment for CCP, for EVE and all his players, it's a social disgrace someone wishes someone else to die, even provoking other people to make sure he dies.

I sincerely hope CCP does not let mitanus remain on CSM because that would send all the wrong signals.

Cyber bullying is OK? that is def. not a good signal to send, is it ?

Nothing happens if you are a psychopathic in RL? Im pretty sure something nasty would happen to him if he did this in RL in some school or corporation.

Matter if pretty simple: For CCP sake, for EVE sake and for all of us standard players sake, he must not be allowed to remain as chairman, cant be allowed in CSM where "ALL" player base is supposedly represented, and cannot be allowed to remain active in game to CCP and EVE sake.

Also: it's not the 1st time he wishes someone else to die in RL, been drunk cannot be used as a excuse, the story was on his PP.

I have faight in CCP to do the right thing, the hole industry is watching.


It's not the bully's fault someone killed their self.

It's the instability of the individual and you represent what is wrong with the world today. Nobody accepts responsibility for their actions, unlike Alex, who has.


So you are saying he accepted responsibility by saying he was going to step down and not do it? I guess that is what you represent then... People who say they will do something and not do it. He has not accepted responsibility until CCP decides how to deal with his actions for him IMO. What that will be, we will see.

I don't think you get the issue here. It's that the elected chair of the players' representative council said this live to camera, in front of the world's gaming press. It's that the gaming community in EVE have a right to express disgust at his conduct. It's that we who voted for him, despite his in-game antics (which I have no issue with), feel let down.

His Goon-hood has nothing to do with it - because this wasn't an in-game thing The Mittani (player Alex Gianturco) did, it was an out of game cyberbullying attack by Alex Gianturco, who happens to play a character in-game called The Mittani.

You are all missing 1 simple fact
He CAN'T resign at the moment...
Well, he can, but he would only be resigning from the post he CURRENTLY holds.....
He has to wait for CCP to formally induct them (New NDA'S and all...) THEN he can resign

If he submitted a resignation today, NOW, you dolts would all be deleriously happy... right up to the point where CCP invests him in the next council.....

He Said he would step down, and I assume that he will.
As soon as he has a place to step down FROM.....

To SOV Diplomat... Ummm, you DO know that CCP has banned people for the use of that exact phrase (when directed at CCP) Are you perhaps testing? to see if CCP is 2 faced or the like?

Actually, it was a group of people on a stage, acting as the leader of various Alliances/Corps...
Alex Gianturco? - Never heard of him.... Did not see him... Would not know him if I FELL on him
The Mittani? - Yup, he was there. Representing his Goons. Wearing a Wizard Hat at one point... Stuff that was said, was MOST DEFINATLY said by Mittens...

Two things:


  • He's an elected official representing thousands of players, because of this his actions are scrutinized. The fact that he's drunk does not excuse his actions.

  • Imo the only reason he apologized is because of the shitstorm his comments have created, if this had not been blown out of proportion like it has he wouldn't have cared.

Actually resigning now he can do but it would just be refusing the place in CSM 7 rather than resigning. Same Thing really.

There are, of course, a number of problems with this.

He's shared out-of-game tears, which included information that a player was suicidal. He then invites people with the words, "Incidentally, if you wanna make the guy go kill himself, his name is The Wis. He has his own corp. Find him." None of that suggests he was speaking strickly in-game. It might have started in-game, but it moved rapidly from in-game griefing, to out-of-game bullying.

Also, and I'm sorry to say this, but he was introduced as "the guy who is fixing titans" - that's not something Mittens is doing, it's something Alex is trying to get done as a CSM policy.

The idea that somehow this was said "in-character" (something the player has said he doesn't do anyway) and that excuses it is daft, and certainly not a view not shared by the gaming press, who are the ones making hay out of this.

PR-wise CCP and / or the CSM need to make a clear break with this story, or it's going to haunt them for the next 12 months. That can't be done by explaining it was "in-character" - or at least that's a risky strategy. Far easier to cut the liability loose.
