If we assume the whole conversation happened ingame, what was broken in the EULA? Please show me the paragraph(s) explaining.

You may not submit any content to any chat room or other public forum within the Game that is harassing, abusive, threatening, harmful, obscene, libelous or defamatory, encourages conduct that could constitute a criminal offense or give rise to civil liabilities, or is unlawful in any other way, including without limitation the submission of content that infringes on a third-party’s intellectual property rights.


Ero1 definitely conducted "harassing behavior" outside the scope of normal gameplay, and the victim made threatening comments. Both of them should be banned.



The only person to use threats was Sohkar, I have listened to the sound clip from start to finish. Erotica 1 never raised his voice and never threatened anyone, was not obscene, did not harass, was not abusive or defamatory.


uhhh.... did you miss the part where he linked the soundcloud on EO forums?

If that ain't defamatory i don't know what is


It's not defamatory because it doesn't identify a real person to defame the reputation of.

How would it be defamatory?

Isn't defamation the use of false statements to harm the reputation of someone?

Can someone's own statements in a recording be a false statement?

We shouldn't internet lawyer because neither of us are qualified, it's just a question because I struggle to see the link to defamation.

Ok Im going to throw this out and run
Erotica1 has paid me out, in plex for help-once
We also have had a "winner' join the group- who then lost everything to a Goon recruitment scam
I then gave him enough to restart
I do that to people when I am on
Now to due to PLEX I cant

However I and others will warn the naieve idiots, yes idiots, not the greedy bastards about the problems
For those more legally inclined, if you read the rules, you can never succeed

I warn many new players to wither be a minion and get rewarded or have no dealings with Erotica1
And that any goon recruitment offer is a scam regardless of who gives one

The smoke filled backroom that decided EVE was real, I was an active part, its now gone elsewhere and no one told me where

This is my main
No I am a male

Oh and for the Team speak bit, its because we couldnt figure out eve voice and wanted the recording capability

Yes you can dec me for this, no you will just be wasting isk, I have nonundockable holding alts

Oh and uh, dont be greedy, its a 7 sin for a reason
I doubt Erotica1 is a deitic prosecutor though, however dude does live near the recorded place in in which the devil played a song battle
Well close in Eve terms

PS
Erotica1 has actually gotten people to be interested in EVE when I demonstrate her talents.
So it does work for recruitment putposes

No it doesn't. Sokhar showed a lack of self control. All it takes is a little personal responsibility and you'll never use racial slurs or death threats no matter how angry or upset someone 'makes' you.

There is no justification for death threats, threats of violence, discriminatory speech, etc. None whatsoever.

I'm happy to imagine that you ban every corpmate that uses any death threat, threat of violence or discriminatory speech on coms immediately.

But I admit that's just as much of a straw man argument as yours.

Were the things he said wrong to say? Yes. Would he ordinarily go around saying such things? I know you can't claim that he would just as I can't claim he wouldn't. Who pressured him into a position to say those things and cause his wife to have a panic attack at what she perceived as unusual behavior? Erotica 1.

If a corrupt government official uses all the rules available to him to harass you, to strip you of every last piece of security you have, all within the letter of the law, and all of a sudden you go off cursing at him, he's still the bad guy.

Again, this is the kind of thinking that makes the world worse. Now pay close attention, because I'm going to tell you why any **** analogy is really bad, and an indication of an emotional reaction rather than rational thought.

Bonus room = consensual, right from the very beginning when you CHOOSE to hand over ISK and assests. You cannot coerce someone with their stuff if they gave you all there stuff freely and willingly. You are entirely responsible for making the choice to hand of your isk and assets.

**** = non-consensual. The woman never gets a choice. The woman is never responsible for what she goes through here.

Now go to your room for ten minutes and have a think about what you've said. Maybe smoke a bud or something to calm down.

No, I never said that. I never said slavery is consensual, because it's not. You made that up. A slave doesn't place himself into slavery of his own free will, and hand over his freedoms and rights of his own accord. Sokhar handed over all his isk and assets of his own free will.

I never said domestic violence is consensual, because it's not. You made that up. A victim of domestic violence, physical or otherwise, doesn't place their self in the path of an abuser and say, "hit me, abuse me, make it hurt!" Sokhar handed over all his isk and assets of his own free will.

I never said sex trafficking is consensual, because it's not. You also made that up. A man, woman or child that doesn't want to work in the sex industry isn't going to go and apply for a job in it. Sokhar handed over all his isk and assets of his own free will.

I never said any of what you claim I said, and you are blowing things out of proportion. At NO point did Sokhar not have the choice to walk away. Of course, the mindset required to make that choice would have prevented him from handing his assets over in the first place. Now, I've got you on putting words in my mouth and blowing things out of proportion. Now to seal the deal on your utter inability to achieve rational perspective. The following is the stupidest thing you've ever said:

"If a person is threatened with losing something by walking away - that's coercion buddy. Whether it is physical safety in case of ****, or life in case of slavery, or internet isk, its irrelevant. Coercion is coercion."

If said person hadn't willingly handed over his assets, and they'd been taken from him without his consent and used for coercion, that would be coercion. If he gives them away himself, makes that choice, then it's no longer coercion, it's consent. It's also not real property. It doesn't exist. It's all code and pixels. He lost nothing to be actually coerced with. You do understand the difference between virtual and real, don't you? Cuz if you don't, that's your problem, and probably the source of your confusion here.

I'd put the most likely source of your confusion, however, down to emotion. Your mouth froth =/= righteousness. I think a few victims of real predators would love to tell you a story or two about how predators actually work.

No, that's not what I'm saying. What I'm saying, and have been saying forever, is this is a vendetta against Erotica 1, and has been from before this incident ever occured. The hate was already there. Now the community has concocted a reason to be outraged at her, and everyone is so passionate about condemning him, but who of those people are condemning Sokhar for his vileness? If Ero gets a ban, so does Sokhar. If Ero's in the wrong, then so is Sokhar. It doesn't matter if Sokhar wouldn't normally say those things, that only makes it worse because it shows his complete lack of self control. That's his problem, and his mistake.

Do you know what a crime of passion is? It's still a crime, and it still lands you in jail. Just because you were emotionally pressured into killing someone, doesn't mean you get out of jail because it was the fault of the person who emotionally pressured you. That's NEVER an excuse. NEVER EVER.

I don't support Ero nor do I condemn him. I'm just pointing out the utter hypocrisy of condemning Ero and pretending like Sokhar did nothing wrong.

If a corrupt government official uses all the rules available to him to harass you, to strip you of every last piece of security you have, it doesn't matter, because that analogy would only apply to if CCP were the ones harassing Sokhar, since Ero has no authority over him and can't take his stuff by force. You people really need to go learn some critical thinking and how to create appropriate analogies.

No one's name has been slandered or libelled, because "Sokhar" isn't the name of a real person, but a fictional avatar. If there was a law against that, do you know how many people would be in trouble for slandering Wesley Crusher?

Or how about the number of people on this very threat that have libelled Erotica 1? Plenty of lies told about him in here that can be demonstrated to be lies.

Meh, I think he misses the point entirely. It's obvious that there's no criminal, civil, or EULA/ToS violations.

The problem, IMHO, is that the whole situation makes EVE (and CCP and us) look bad. It's guilt by association. Whether we like it or not, CCP, and we the players, are now "co-owners" of that damnable SoundCloud recording. If CCP and the player base do not condemn it, then we will be seen as implicitly supporting the out of game humiliation and degradation of people, which contravenes most basic societal norms. Does anyone really think that it's good for us to be perceived as being so sociopathic that we'll hurt people in real life over a bunch of pixelated assets? That we're so jaded with virtual tears, that we crave real tears? No. Just no.


tl;dr - Erotica1 needs to be publicly shunned for bringing shame and embarrassment on EVE and its players.
