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.


continue pretending that a character with zero indication of in-game use is not a posting alt



hmm so i am a alt? wow didn,t see that one coming

Goon logic....there is non like it.

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

No, people realize that the Bee's will do anything to bee relevant, why would they want to bee harassed ingame by a bunch of Bee alts? Shocked

As much as it kills me to say this, I think the goons have done a good job with this site. I expected "lol, we're winning all the things", but they do report on their losses, even embarrassing ones. From what I can tell it's actually fairly unbiased and well-rounded.

Now excuse me while I go take a chlorine bath in an attempt to feel clean again.


sometimes but not always.
the website claimed the miner buff was the end of eve, just whining nullbears who can't gank a ship with a dessie.

Yes, and they certainly cater to Themittani's target demographic. Roll

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.



Look at the guy who doesn't understand what an opinion piece is

Then stop selling it as balanced and objective when all it really is an opinionated anti-hi-sec campaign and propaganda machine.

When James315, the "Glenn Beck" of everything that is anti-hi sec/carebear/industry, is your most notorious writer of that website, then you really shouldn't be advertising it as fair and balanced because it isn't. It's the Fox News of Eve Online.

Again, nothing wrong with targeting your own demographic. But the website is being shoved to us every day like it's bias-free, when it most certainly isn't.

It's explicitly an opinion piece. Believe it or not, even reputable news sources publish those.

Want to know what's funny? We've approached empire-based players and asked them if they're interested in writing for the site. None are willing - James 315 is literally the only highsec-based writer we have.

You should be ashamed. Of course Goons will be Goons and troll us you have so I guess you can't help it.

It looks as if my joy as a player at finding a new resource to take up my time while wandering through the intertubes has pulled out some very funny responses. I must start buying stock in virtual tinfoil companies. That said, I must be really bad at searching or the hyperbole over the number of times the Mittani.com has been "pushed," on the forums is just that, knee jerk hyperbole. I wonder why it is so hard for so many players to discuss something with an easy exchange of information and maybe facts (if applicable)?

If you don't like it don't read it. Don't have a real opinion, no reason to make up one. And I wonder why the Goons are stomping the rest of Eve.

But as an "alt," of some nameless Goon I should keep the answer to that question to myself. :)

Must have been pretty inactive for a while, didn't notice mittani made a site to rival eve news 24. Guess he hates rivani that much to go and steal his gig.

I think the atmosphere of the site is defiantly better. A classy logo, though the background could be like that of eve fourms and be a cosmic solar flair and stars and be even better.

What self respecting citizen of highsec space would want his or her identity attached to a Goon run news source? James315 may be highsec based but he is hardly a representative of the highsec community, as I'm sure many posts have made clear.

I can say from my personal experience....even highsec players that do not have ANY self respect would not write for this pile of something.

This is so arrogant. Who made you the arbitrator of the hisec community? James315 lives in hisec. He ganks and extorts in hisec. He has written a novel on his views pertaining to industry in hisec. He lives, *****, lies and steals in hisec. A huge portion of hisec does the same so how is he not a representative of the the hisec pov? Wow.

Hisec is not just the afk carebear. It is not just the mission runner. This is the arrogance that makes getting any type of unified hisec behavior or goals going a complete pain in the ass.

All that really means is that he is representative of a portion of the highsec player base. Not even a large portion if I'm not mistaken, given there are more people ganked than ganking last I checked.

How can you say that someone who wants to see highsec nerfed into the ground and has written a manifesto on how to cause optimal grief for industrialists and casuals is representative of anything but sadomasochism?

Exactly, mere observation of demographical forum posting speaks for itself.

I tried to start my EVE career as a non "carebear" but man some people just put the ick in prick. Ugh
