The only thing that hit anyone's nerve was seeing the name "The Mittani" with more than double the amount of votes as the next highest candidate when the results were announced on Saturday. "GoonWaffe" and "Goonswarm Federation" probably didn't help either.

The funny/paradoxical thing about that is that, at this point, they'd probably be far better served to show their stance by banning a large swathe of the Mittens-hater crew than going after Mittens. They can't, of course, since that would blow up spectacularly and I haven't have the chance to invest in any tinfoil business yet, but still…


edit: Correction. I do have investments in the tinfoil industry. I though they were mainly into copper and iron. So go ahead! Twisted

I have heard the goons go on and on about the number of votes he got but really it is less than 3% of the games population and it doesn't really matter as he got the number 1 spot, by 1 vote or 10 million doesn't matter much.

Any spelling, grammatical and punctuation errors are because frankly, I don't care!!

It really does matter, though given how politically clueless you were with the whole Issler campaign thing, I'm not surprised you don't get that. ANYWAY, moving on...

The point was that the words themselves weren't the source of outrage, it was the person who said them. If it well and truly was the words, the outpouring of rage that took off on Monday would have happened within minutes of him actually saying what he did. Funny how that didn't happen, though.

Just to be clear about my personal stance.

Regardless who. If I would have seen ANYONE with influence on a larger part of EVE say those things I would have done exactly the same.

I myself don't care who you are. I would even do the same if the player who went over the line were my brother. This isn't about liking or not liking for me. This is about right and wrong for me.

Those ingame who know me know this to be true. Those who don't know me I actually don't care what they think of my actions in this.

However I do mind the way this community is behaving towards someone who's already down.
I look at Issler and Darius as opportunists who just are after their personal agenda's and lost track of the better for EVE and the community. But also as people who lost sight that behind The Mittani is a person.

They show calousness in this matter and without any remorse keep firing just to further their own goals.

Those who voted for those 2 should take a step back and rethink if these 2 are actually representing the community and the game.

Well it was satire for a reason you know. Who knows WHY the goons all started trying to derail those threads. My post might have reflected reality, might not, but it did have the desired effect and managed to get things back on topic so :shrugs: did the job.


Jade, the Roadhouse spam came out of the MichaeltheRed's internet tough guy posts, wherein he explained to the Goonies that he would take them all on in a fist fight. And also that he is old enough to get into bars and gets into brawls.

If anything the Roadhouse spam was started by me. Because Roadhouse is just that awesome of a movie.

FYI, mostall of the people who voted for Darius III were scammed into it. Much like last year.

The CSM election was just that an election. I deliberately went for the conspiracy nuts, homophobic's and haters of a certain WW2 german political party and then sympathy. It was spin to see how much an election could be altered by some utter crap. Given the result I would say it worked. So the election is kind of easy for a nutter to swing how much attention should really be paid to an organizations ability to get votes.

It is partly the person because some people hate him, some want to see him in jail over this. Some from hate some from hatred of cyber bullying. The majority of people are against him now because of cyber bullying and the fact it was real life in front of cameras with him telling people to get someone to kill them selves.

As for it would of happened there, that would depend on how drunk the crowd was and if anyone there was listening. It kicked off from the American TZ and it was broadcast all over the planet. Actually Im surprised a christian league of some kind hasn't weighed in yet.

Issler, although I agree with you on several points, I don't agree with this thread. The CSM should discuss the matter internally and produce a combined statement about the matter. It is important that the CSM has a unified front otherwise you guys end up looking like a bunch of bickering brats.

Although I did consider voting for you this time around, this kind of unprofessional behavior ensures that will never happen in the future.

We're talking a difference of DAYS, and you're talking about timezones?

Also if you're going to be surprised any time some form of non-gaming media doesn't touch this story with a ten foot clown pole, you might want to get some heart pills ready because it's going to keep happening.

I wasn't talking about media I was talking about Christians with protestors, blogs. Suicide is a sin ect...

As to why it took days as I have said before buggered if I know. When I first saw it, it was a tiny story.

People have been banned for less.



People have not been banned for less, as Mittens didn't break the EULA. CCP has no grounds to ban him from game. This isnt WoW

Politically (in)correct compromise:

1.) Two Step moves up to #1 and the chair.
2.) UAxDEATH moves up to #7. (Had Hans originally. Going to practice my ordinals...)
3.) Mittens drops to #14.
4.) Move on. It's a game.

People need to learn to forgive and forget - and let the CSM do their job.
People were mad at Mittens before this; they were mad at Mittens during the presentation; they were mad at Mittens while the CSM announcement was made; and they'll continue to be mad at him.

The kind of witch-hunt that has grown out of his misstep more and more has the air of people finally getting a tiny gripping point that they can try to pry on to get some kind of release for all that anger and a sliver of hope that maybe they can hurt him… and that's why what they're doing is no better than what he did.

The thread in response to the actual presentation and statement, compared to the furious flood of threads that came after he had been re-elected, makes it abundantly clear that this is no longer a matter of what he said or did, and has everything to do with politics and getting revenge.


This is just about stomping on a particular type of behaviour outside of the game. It wouldn't matter who had done this.

The fact that it was Mittani speaks more to the fact that people disliked him FOR THE RIGHT REASONS.

if you wish to try and pronounce that this was a "tiny gripping point" that's fine. I can see how the tiny brains of the fellow sociopaths that follow mittani can see it that way.

If you wish to see how the world sees it, merely check out your local gaming site to read what they have to say about it - certainly they have ALL picked up on it by now. Showing that it is not some "tiny gripping point".

Grow the **** up guys.
