Sorry OP but well, you are wrong.

The only thing I can remember from fanfest was the great Cinematic. I'm forced to know about the Mittani stuff but in truth if it died here and now I'd forget about it.

It's over. Nobody is real happy, but hey, Jita's about to burn, so why not go play that internet spaceships game...

Frogblast the Vent Core! When the W'rkncacnter came, Pthia was killed, and Yrro in anger, flung the W'rkncacnter into the sun. The sun burned them, but they swam on its surface.

Wow! The Mitanni is more God-like than the GOONs like to make him appear. Apparently he has the power to cyberbully people when he isn't on the internet. That's pretty hardcore.



But what he did was 'incitement to cyberbullying'. The act of incitement doesn't have to take place on the internet, but any subsequent cyberbullying arising from it would. Why is that so difficult to understand?

The behavior exhibited is not becoming of an eve player, let alone someone he supposedly represents.

CCP should have him unceremoniously removed immediately, and banned.

In the honor and tradition of both Amarr and the respect for Mittani you shall have your fight Goonswarm. Your illusion that we fear the battle has been your only flaw.

Bring it.

Should we be talking about the active death threats to his dog, wife, other relatives and not to mention himself?


Exactly why he shouldn't of done it. Now he is seeing the potential position he couldn've put that other dude in. I don't condone any irl action towards the Mitanni that is wrong also..

But now he see's exactly what others were trying to express..

Thanks for ruining the great atmosphere that the fanfest created by making this incident the single and only thing it will now be remembered for. I really relish the sour taste that has been left behind, and am pleased this issue has been escalated to such a ridiculous level.

You've done an amazing job, please pat yourselves on the back.


In the long run, this will be the best outcome for the game. I think blaming the players - who were rightly outraged by Alex's behaviour - for this misses the point. The issue was, and remains, the storm to wrecklessly bad publicity Alex created for EVE, the player-base and CCP through his actions.

He's to blame. He's owned his mistake. Job's a good 'un.

I think you should be thanking the Mittani for ruining it, he was the one who caused all this


It wasn't an issue until those with an agenda caught on to it. The Wiz didn't even watch fanfest - nor is he suicidal. What The Mittani said was in poor taste, but it was victimless in essence.
