The first article I read in the_mittani website was an anti-carebear rant.

It is not "fair and balanced" as it is being purported to be. But I guess if it works for Fox News...

And what gives with all these shameless plugs to the website? Every day there's a thread on "how awesome the website is and how everyone should be reading it" Ugh.




He needs hits on his website to get rich or something and yes please start locking these threads.

Pretty witty! I like it. Have you checked out the site or do you know of any others that people should check out to increase their metagaming enjoyment?
I'll stick with EVE News 24, they don't leave me feeling dirty after reading it. Sorry but Themittani just has too much goon stigma around it, should have named it something else and kept it away from that.

It's kind of like Fox News, even if they run a really insightful story, it's still Fox News.


why not just set up an RSS feed for Jester's Trek and Poetic's blog because that's basically all of the content on there, syndicated blog posts

The Mittens dot com......a 404 page in disguise...

Once you think you have it all, you have actually become ignorant towards everything else.

I think we should ban threads discussing other EVE discussion forums from GD.. because seeing a link relating to TheMittani every few days is starting to grind my gears.

The problem resides here......if you carry "Giant" in your name you would expect this........

Never was it my intention to imply that EVE News 24 is actually better than the Themittani, just that it isn't Themittani. As previous posters have pointed out Themittani tends to have a somewhat slanted view in favor of nullseccers/nullsec news and against highsec members of our community, which of course is to be expected considering the people who create it.

To be honest I find both news sources lacking, I wish their were an EVE news source that had the quality of Themittani, but without the elitist nullseccer slant, something I don't think Themittani is capable of providing, nor considering it's target demographic should it be expected to. With that said I guess I'll just have to wait until a third middle way option comes along, and continue to get my news from this forum. Smile

Show me a news site that is objective .

every news site will come with news on where they think ,it pleases or interest their readers (or followers if you like)

the mittani.com is not that different then EN24 or other newssite .

the only real news on EvE is what is put on the information part of this forum

And it's that attitude right there that makes Themittani unpalatable to so many. The fact you believe we're alts because we would rather sit in an NPC corp than join groups of people like you only reinforces the negative opinions so many have of the group you represent.

I see a forum where everyone gets the ban they want... oh' wait, nope. Nothing there everything is banned. If you hate the material being discusses why not move onto another thread?

I disagree. In fact, I personally have written two full-length features on highsec which have been published on TheMittani.com and a third already submitted for review. Smile

It is the only character that I have, thus by definition is a main and not an alternate. And here we see another attribute of your kind, which is also another reason many people dislike your news publication, arrogance.
