Or do you just want everyone to play nice in the sandbox and never try to hurt anyone else inside of it?

I'm NOT "so" against "this happening." I see no "this" happening. If you missed the point, allow me to clarify. If the solution is so simple, there must not be a problem.

I've said numerous times only fools believe a Goon. What I DO believe is, true to the definition of a sociopath, they're easily frustrated by no immediate reward, and get bored quickly. Our time honored response to these sorts of people is to wait them out. They wander off soon enough.


Remember the interdiction? How long was that?

Wow, just kind of throwing out the hard diagnoses there, huh? I'm fairly certain (though not 100%) that I am not a sociopath. I just play one on the internet.

No kidding. But the Nile is definitely a river in Africa.

May i ask for clarification though. Do you think that Goons are sociopaths in real life, or that they are just so in game?

If by "interdiction" you're referring to the demonstration against the update that went nowhere, there was a playerbase-wide resistance to that, and it wasn't hard to muster active support. This Burn Jita thing is an ego-gratification device dreamed up by Mitt to prove (mainly to himself) that he and his boyz have a stranglehold on the game, and can exert such momentous influence as to threaten the existence of the game itself. As the premise is delusional, but the holder of the view is so obnoxious, a little pin the tail on the donkey just might be in order.

I don't say anyone is anything IRL unless I know them personally, and even then you can't be sure. Thing with the Mitt/CCP nexus is they don't confine it to the game, so you do get a glimpse. If it looks like a duck...and it walks like a duck....

Ah yes, that. Couldn't say either way if that was effective or not. It didn't seem to cause much of an uproar. Tippia probably crunched the numbers on that. I'm just a trucker.

lol you really think that's gonna work in THIS game, with THAT crew?
Mitt's running out of brilliant ideas. When he's humiliated by the complete waste of time this was, his next EVE shaking notion will come off like a Scooter Plan to end the Goons once and for all. I have confidence that the nature of existence extends beyond the intellectual might of the miniscule.

Have you ever met him and seen him show any signs of such behavior outside of being sloppily drunk?

I don't think it outside the realm of possibility that, in an altered state, he might say something that he thought was funny, which turned out to be offensive to others. It certainly wouldn't be the first time in human history that that has happened.

But of course, you are right and The Mittani is just a secret sociopathic serial killer who let his mask slip when he got drunk. That is the simpler explanation.

The funny part will be with no targets, the Goons complaining in local...while their complaints are scrolled out of chat by Jita spam bots. They won't even be able to smack talk.

Who cares what he wants? What he wants is what his minions have been told to say, "wrecks littering Jita..." And, trade coming to a halt. All proficient traders don't have to actually be IN Jita to continue doing business. What he wants can't be done if we don't want it done.

And there's your stroke of brilliance, Kengutsi. He's going to claim success regardless. Just don't lose anything to him.

No. I would expect heartache in the meantime though. It's win win for him, either way, he's got a reaction.
