EVE General Discussion

I have come to find that through life many people you run into are selfish morons who only care about themselves and could never be empathetic toward others. to them I say farewell and goodnight.

now I remember why I voted for you.

WAIT!

In one of the locked threads did someone seriously say that Icelandic Law doesn't apply to Americans who are in Iceland.

What a moron.

Its not "his client" when the interchange is taking in an environment OUTSIDE of EVE.

Have you lost all touch with reality?

"But Your Honor! I blew this guys stuff up because its possible IN EVE!"

You can't extend a scam outside of the context of EVE.

What is acceptable within EVE, in many cases becomes CRIMINAL if you attempt to extend it beyond it.

In the "Bonus Room", nobody is there as an EVE character or player. They are all there as independant, autonomous and culpable individuals just like everyone else sitting in every other non-EVE voice comm room on the entire planet.

That Erotica1 is actively, repeatedly and provenly sourcing and predating his victims from WITHIN the EVE community, for exploitation OUTSIDE of the game, is the issue here. You can't do that. Its not only against EULA, its also against laws depending on how you conduct yourself in that external environment.

I'm waiting to see if this goes viral. As I have said before, I always pause before telling people who know about games that I play Eve, because the response is already not very enthusiastic.

If this incident goes viral, then I will be ashamed of playing this game and will have to consider my associations in the long term.

And it would be fitting that in this "Atrium of Lies" that the world is today (Front Line Assembly reference) that such a great game as this with such great people in it becomes associated with the worst scumbag-dragging douchebaggery as could ever be perceived.

It's almost as if THAT was the goal of players like E1 - to destroy something beautiful by soiling the reputation of it. All these people who are after tears and driving others from the game and at the same time making it attractive to more people like themselves.

The potential for this game, to be more than just a game, is HUGE. How huge? Well, in "my day", we read sci-fi books and watched movies like Star Trek. Now if Eve Online becomes more than just an MMO, but an entire franchise, we won't be talking about "some episode on season 4" or something, we would, pretty much like we do now, be saying "yeah I was in that battle flying a bomber" or something.

If CCP could bank on what they really have going on here they could change the way the public consumes sci-fi FOREVER. I don't think anybody would want to go back to reading books or passively watching a starship warp around on TV.

And to think of all of that wrecked and the people who will lurk in their basements knowing they wrecked it - no. Something has to be done about this, because I don't want there to be a day when I'm ashamed to play a game that can be more than just a game because of this "element" that gleefully takes something wonderful and rubs it in their butt cracks while sneering.

But if I have to leave, I know I can pick myself up the next day and carry on, and I won't be ashamed. (but to heck with that statist-drivel infected Star Citizen I'd rather play Minesweeper).

Now I normally like your posts but I take offence to this. My two teenage sons are fully cognizant and intelligent humans capable of making their own judgements and I am not much of a person to collymoddle anyone, especially my children. If you want to see what sheltering your kids does to them, just look through this thread at all the people who think what Ero did was "bullying". This kind of thinking is a direct product of the bubble wrap brigade.

As I stated though, once the racism and death threats came out, laughing time ended and they were asked to leave.

Edit: also, to further clarify. I didn't "get" my kids to laugh at this. They laughed because it was ******* hilarious.

What happened on the TS is none of CCPs business or concern.

That Erotica1 is sourcing victims from within the game, for exploitation outside the game, is very much CCPs business.

E1 deliberately takes a guy out of game to go on his humiliation, bullying crusade and dodge ban hammer.

Victim was lured out of game yet the entire ordeal centers about in game assets

If you ask me that's premeditated behavior to cause damage and avoid law/Eula.

CCP you better wake the F up.

Heh - instead of voting for CSMs can we get a vote on this?

Cool. If Riptard Teg doesn't get removed from his CSM seat over this garbage then *I* will be cancelling my 9 accounts. So Nyah.
