Here, let me spray some WD40 on your up tight nuts: Encouraging other players to grief another player in game in the hope that the victim actually commited suicide IRL, is cyberbullying. It doesn't matter what medium that encouragement was delivered in, the fact that Mittens was goading other players to carry out in game actions in the hope of achieving said outcome is cyberbullying by proxy.


This isn't facebook or pintrest or flickr and we aren't angsty pre-teens. He said a horrible and stupid thing but its also not the same as literally wishing the person to die. Obviously given his position within Eve and the forum in which he said those comments are aggravating factors. But sure, he probably shouldn't run for CSM. He shouldn't be prevented from doing so either.

As far as i know Mittens will not be running for CSM. Might be wrong about that. But lets face it: He does not need to run for CSM.

Have you guys ever heard about THE SPACE ILLUMINATI?

This is a secret kabal which is a shadow CSM with direct ties into CCP. The normal CSM is just a operation to appease the normal New Eden citizen, and to keep the idea in place that democracy works and is in place in new eden.

But in reality THE SPACE ILLUMINATI run New Eden with a ruthless agenda for domination and to gain as much isk as possible. They have CCP it its grasp and all of you as well. There is no escaping THE SPACE ILLUMINATI.

Guess three times who the chairman of THE SPACE ILLUMINATI is. Twisted

It is irrelevant whether the failed lawyer is on the CSM or not. His influence is manifested through the who know how many null sec cartel reps goons place on the CSM. Further, as Ripard Teg, a current CSM member, stated in his blog, the failed lawyer uses his own back channels, apparently on a near daily basis, to give dev's his opinion about the direction of the game.

Oh, and ISD, this is not hearsay. When a sitting CSM member states it in his blog, I kinda think it is accurate.


For the enlighenment and reading pleasure of all, I'm sure you wouldn't mind linking the blog post.

They have a history of forcing CCP's hand when things need fixing, even if fixing them is bad for Goons. But why should a single group of players have any more responsibility to do anything of the sort? They're paying customers, just like you and I.

I'm pretty sure Mittens can talk for himself, he does need a, (oh cannot say that gets me into trouble), he doesn't need a (damn cannot write that either gives me a lifetime ban) and why am I responding in a thread to someone I have blocked?

Carry on, back to my bree!

i will say this, if that bastard of an expanstion that was "Incarna" were to be release today I have ZERO faith in the current CSM in its ability to tackle the issues were raised by the community back then. Why? because all I hear nowadays is "I want this" "I want that" "I want sov. But I don't want to risk anything to get it" And not what "We" can do for the community as a "whole. It just seems the CSM has gone off its mission, which is "keeping the pulse of the community & informing CCP when they go "Full ******" on core gameplay. NOT lobbying changes for their own personal agenda and their friends which such changes would benefit "the needs of the few, or the one" and Not the needs of the many"

Other than that, 10,058

I thought he was banned for life. I can forgive him. ...that doesn't necessarily mean I would take back a punishment that CCP administered. That's their deal.

On occasion you will hear people like Rush Limbaugh say they can't run for office because they can "get more done" without being fettered by politics and the expectations of being a representative.

In the bulk of this anti-Goon grumbling, am I the only admitted high-sec carebear that mostly enjoys the Goon's antics? I find a lot of entertainment in reading or hearing about how a poor noob and/or ignorant player (or group) falls for well known recruitment scams and the burn Jitas/Hulkageddon when GSF generally makes these things public knowledge well in advance.

Sort of a Cyber-Darwinism thing going on. P


hey i made bank on the last hulkageddon, or was it burn jita? i dont know i just know goons did something that nuked mineral prices. Being the smart miner i was at the time, i never suffered a dent to my mining operation and went to town, well Amarr, and sat in a pile of goon inflated mineral isk.

I agree with some other comments here, Mittens doesnt need to be on CSM, he has alot of throwing weight in the game just from his reputation, and the fact he's running the powerhouse of eve at this time. I dont think any CSM member has near the in game might that Mittens has, and that carries far, over a much greater time frame

You seriously put ALL responsibility on everyone BUT goons?

In all seriousness, what do the goons do that is so bad?

They have a reputation that is often referred to, but what are the despicable things they do?

Aside from their recruiting scam that they openly market as being a scam (and in doing so, give people plenty of warning so it can be avoided), what is so evil about GSF?

They used to say a lot of inappropriate, insensitive, and rather provocative things. And laugh at people in a derisive manner. But they seem nicer these days.
