erotica1... hold still when you pout and cry... ganker tears sell for way more than miner tears and it's hard to fill my flask when your quivering lips knock it out of the way

Wait, what? I suppose its good to know I'm ruining people's day when I Jita trade.

Take that market orders! Oh the tears! THE TEARS!

Looking to talk on VOIP with other EVE players? Are you new and need help with EVE (welfare) or looking for advice? Looking for adversarial debate with angry people?

Ah, someone I can have an intelligent discussion with. Excellent! The broader question is not this incident. Consider these questions:

I’ll also try to intelligently support your thoughts with real world analogies

1. How many players have been given skillpoints like this, and how many could have but never thought they could? The answers may affect thousands.

+1 If a skillpoint falls in the forest when no-one is there, has it gone to waste? A characters head is a terrible thing to waste

2. What other decisions are being made in petitions that all individually are isolated, but collectively scandalous?

+ un - there have been petitions in California that led to propositions banning the sale of horse meat and foi gras – are pork rinds next ? First they came for the communists, and no-one said anything…

3. What oversight is there in the granting or denying of petitions? Do the GM's have broad discretionary powers to do anything that is remotely defensible, or are there limits to what can be decided without higher authority?

+ Cryptonite: The GM’s of the U.S. are a shadow of their former selves. They made a discretionary decision to sacrifice the long term ends of the auto-companys' for short-term profits …. EVE is the rock of the Sandbox MMO genre - The short-sighted views rogue EVE GM could lead us into the arms of SONY Entertainment as GM put us in the hands of Honda

Some time ago, numerous friends of mine petitioned a game mechanic that we discovered, asking if it was permissable because it could be considered an exploit. We got the green light and were told it was brilliant.

- Truly a cautionary tale – I had a similar experience . My friends and I propositioned a female mechanic and she told us to go down the street and talk to the girls with fishnet stockings and short miniskirts. She said it would be a splendid opportunity for us

A month or two later, we all got official warnings and some transactions were reversed in the tens of billions. The game mechanic has since been patched.

Naively trusting the response we received from that proposition, we asked the girls if they would play with us – The girls were actually undercover officers and arrested us.

Luckily we were wearing our EVE-online shirts and had tattoos with game-corporation logo’s to give our story gravitas. We pulled our phones off our belts and showed the Senior officers jpegs of Hate-Mails proving that we only F-d with people in game. In our case we were happy that the decision was reversed.

This is all serious business. Everyone should let their imaginations’ run with it as you suggest.

I reported an exploit once that allowed you to completely evade CONCORD.
Didn't get anything for it...

Well that's a good thing that they didn't tell you to do it, and then put a red pen mark on your account later saying you broke a rule or something. You should have received a plex at least in my opinion for discovering that, and reporting it.

See Bio for isk doubling rules. If you didn't read bio, chances are you funded those who did.

Pretty despicable on CCP's part. I've always felt warm and fuzzy in knowing that my ability to evade scams and suicide ganks gave me a leg up on the competition. Now I've lost that feeling, because apparently anyone can go whining to momm...I mean, CCP and get it all reversed.

What, I can barely hear you over the sound of your alliance bitching about siphon units.....

Tell me again about how every playstyle you dont engage in "doesn't require any effort" and everyone who does it needs to die in a fire. Be sure to mention about how you tried it once but it was too easy/boring/ethnic-homophobic slur.

Reading this thread i say just this. If he did get those 17 mil sp by just asking, then that's wrong. You should not get Sp back for any reason other then server messing up and tons of other people has had their skill training que messed-up as result.


CCP i encourage you to take a look at this matter. If he had given those SP, i encourage you to reverse that decision. Don't turn eve into fluffy bunny all is well wonder world. This game is supposed to be cold, harsh and unforgiving...

or lternatively, can all my accounts have that free 17 mil sp as well? I could use it...

We are Minmatar, Our ship are made of scraps, but look what our scraps can do...

Um, so....about all those times I didn't log in at 8 am to change a skill? My "brother's" fault...yeah...

Oh also, anytime I pvp, my "brother" always comes in and gets my ship blown up at the end...

And finally, my "brother" always had a habit of logging in just to jump-clone my character out of their learning implants.

He did this with both my main characters, so.....according to some "math"

I would very much like you to "refund" my main and main alt approximately 120million SP total and, say...40billion or so for the ships? Thank you in advance, CCP

I'm beginning to think there is a chance you're not trolling Erotica 1. (your persistence got me if you are trolling)


regardless of what you know is right for the game;


the more you insist that there be no moderator accommodation occasionally at their discretion,

the more likely you're going to force a more major change in the game.


Take things too far, and they'll backfire ......



..... you don't want to have them create a stricter rule against "griefing" do you?

you're playing a dangerous "force the issue" gambit -
