Don't go away yet. Please continue your desperate display of irrational justification for arbitrary judgement actions. It's kind of entertaining to watch.

Hey raven666wings,
I knew I wasn't exactly up against any sort of mental might, but I just thought I'd point out how I was right and you were so very wrong. Love how you moaned on about me not getting the point when the point I was making turned out to be superbly accurate and your point wholly inaccurate. I guess life must be tough for you. Oh and just one more thing...


Your recurrent use of formal fallacies doesn't seem voluntary, what you're presenting really seems incapacity of racional thought (hence the brain damage analogy).

Having a CCP representative lock that thread doesn't mean you were right. It means he acted on arbitrary judgement and/or misinterpreted the situation like you did.


You can try to change history, but you'll fail. Unless you manage to hack these forums I guess. Though CCP probably have backups. Poor you.

I do wonder why you are pretending I was not correct. Do you always have this many issues with reality?

Me: I think CCP could invoke the lottery rule for character sales here. Shame dnsblack didn't do this with an iScorp.
You: No you're missing the point. You are wrong. You're missing the point. You're missing the point. You're wrong.
CCP: We are invoking the lottery rule for character sales and putting an end to this sale.

Even with me being proven correct, you're still pretending that's not how it is. Delusional isn't a sufficient word here. I'll not bother to reply anymore as at best, you're being thoroughly dishonest and at worst, you need to seek professional help to get you back in touch with reality. I hope you get better soon.


Mate you are wrong and seem to be missing the point.

I will admit I think EvE seems like a smaller place without DNS black to put us to sleep at the Fanfest.

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

DNSBLACK is many things, but a sleeping aid is not one of them.

Dude, I normally agree with your points of view, but I'm gonna have to disagree on this. You're asking us to show clemency to a corporation ran by a board of capitalists who care about nothing but the ammount of money in their bank accounts. A corporation that calls itself "Crowd Control Productions". A corporation that presents its costumers with a ruthless "We are a business and our goal is to make money" statement everytime it is questioned about its engagement with "business partners". A corporation that uses dirty tricks to scam the costumers left and right while telling them to accept it because it's for the benefit of "The Corporation".
They are hesitating over side project developments and 3rd party deals they have recently made? Excuse me, but... What do I got to do with that? What do I care? Was it us that told them to engage in such practices?

Dude please, you're the one making a drama out of this, not the players posting here. If Somer Blink's actions are to be shutdown and deemed illegitimate to not allow others to engage in the same conduct, all CCP employees involved in the scandal need to be fired like in T20, from the big fish on top of the chain to the small one below.
You're asking us to keep feeding such corporation with our money? You wanna know what I have to say to that?
-F*ck everything else? NO. F*ck the Corporation. I am a costumer and my goal is to get a quality gameplay service on my computer, it's not to waste my money on a biased sandbox game, or paying the salaries of people that are trying to find ways to scam me or working on other games that I am not playing. Until the corporation is willing to hear me and give me what I want, I will not give it what it wants. It's that simple.

They'll probably say something before too long... but getting dramatic about this... not going to do much. The answers are bigger than the players commenting here. Str8up.


No, the answers are not bigger than the players commenting here. The players are, in case you and them forgot, the most important part of this mess because they are the ones who pay for this show. Without money the show won't go on. So "The Corporation" better keep that in mind, start listening to us and do what we want if it wants to get our money.

...just trying to inject some sobriety. I don't disagree with any particular point you're making personally, I'm just saying there are other points of view in play here, and if you want to compel change it behooves us to consider that. This thing is a ticking time bomb. Right now things are imbalanced. It's not the chessboard most think it to be. CCP makes the wrong move here and the real danger to them isn't the reality (because that's already jacked), it's player perceptions. If the bulk of the players don't think it's a level playing field, accounts are going to start bleeding away. We'll have a big deflationary period in the markets, and then it's going to be like the serenity server. Boring.

A bit off topic, but relevant I think given we have been talking about of conflicts of interest:

https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=3787658#post3787658

Not sure that devs posting in and bumping recruitment threads is exactly the best idea. First, the simple act of dev-tagging one of these threads is like a bit of an endorsement (in fact I don't think I've ever seen one dev tagged before). Second, the dev pretty much reveals himsel to be a member of the corp in question. And there is the simple fact he violates the forum rules, not that it doesn't happen in that forum, just not usually with a dev tag.

Minor in the grand scheme of things - almost entertaining - but it certainly made me roll my eyes. Just goes to show you that training your folks in conflicts of interest is important stuff.

I think that is very relevant.

He thought if he bumped that recruitment thread with his Dev account it would carry more weight. In the end all it did was cause complaints.
