EVE General Discussion

Just a thought ....

Are there any plans to issue the OP as a press release to the gaming media?

I'm thinking it might alleviate some of the fears many potential customers have expressed in comments, on various gaming news sites, in relation to the latest cyberbullying event.

Ok you see something right there that I must point out.

The people who would have the most trouble with "case by case" would be my fellow Americans. You see the non-education system is full of people who set out to destroy the jury system. The original jury system in America had the "power" to "judge both the case and the law". This meant that the jury has (or had, before everybody was convinced otherwise) the ability to say that in a specific case the law may or may not apply or that the actions of a defendant or belligerence of a plaintiff are justified or not.

This is gone now. America is all about "min max" to ensure a system of control. Hence our prisons are filled with people incarcerated for years over victimless crimes because of "mandatory sentencing" and that judges give juries "rules" to follow. If an educated juror informs the judge that these rules hold no weight, the juror gets kicked out at least or charged for contempt at worst.
(and I've been thrown out of juries for bringing this up - it's the BEST way to avoid jury duty: by sticking up for the jury system in our corrupt courts)

So, anything that's considered "case by case" in American culture causes people to go into seething rages because the first thing they think of is the "all white jury" concept, which they were indoctrinated into living in fear of in school. They were never told that in these past cases of "all white juries" it was in fact a deconstruction of the original intent of the jury system, NOT a problem they need to be brainlessly twitter hashtaging about.

For that matter, a jury of one's peers was denied but in the railing against this implanted fear, a jury of one's peers is exactly what ends up being denied to many defendants.

(the same trendy sort falling into this trap would use the word "irony" at this point).


But the bottom line is that the best justice is in fact resting on the judgment of a specific case and the rules involved PER THE CASE. We have had decades of "because of this ruling then, therefore the ruling has to be that now or else everybody is a racist/bigot/homophobe if they don't agree" and now our prisons are overcrowded (and full of the very people that these ideals claim to protect. ).


So to see that CCP goes on a case by case basis is a good thing, which as owners of this content they also have every right to do no matter how many agendized players rail against it on the forums.

Hopefully my fellow Americans can embrace this concept as it was in the foundation of our jury system long ago.

This very may well devolve into a new FLOOD of petitions linking all kinds of things. FC's freak out in comms and a spy will send it to CCP and say "Shadoo was berating this young FC in comms in front of everyone! The young FC had to just take it or risk being kicked out of the corp!"

At least in THAT case Shadoo did something mean.

Huh.. so this is official now? EVE is the game where you can learn how to scam, be a douche and overall learn how to ruin other peoples day? Well, then I call it an educational game and maybe it should be allowed to be played in prisons too. Also no court should be allowed to condemn an EVE player.. they learned all these skills in the game and it took years of training... they are heroes after all. Wonder how come no somalians play the game yet...

I guess If I have a question for CCP.

Where exactly is the line?

This is ridiculous, and you should feel ridiculous for posting it.

That's a really mature response to the situation.

Since you're in Spacemonkeys and thus a frequent target for getting ownzoned, you are going to be sending a lot of petitions.

In fact, we should also go out and report other peoples situations that might make them upset that we weren't even in, and without asking the victim if they have a problem.

Clearly that's what CCP is asking us to do.

(Assuming they DID in fact ban Erotica like it seems may have happened)

You have completely epicly misunderstood the whole situation. plz biomass yourself now.

Incorrect.
