With this official statement from CCP, can I fully expect CCP to punish these evildoers? Because I am about to go test that in practice by ganking some miner and see much they care about the rules of society afterwards.


Well you might get banned for stupidity because look at your sig. Whining like a ***** when you have that sig just puts you first in line at the ban wagon.

What I know now from what is happened is that CCP would have banned him. Rightly so, the video even has ingame footage, no doubt it happened in EVE online, not on some teamspeak server where they have no control over.

Or do you think they wouldn't have?

Straws. You are grasping at.


Grasping at what straws? Was that guy banned or not? And if not why?


Lol oh no Shadoo was not banned. In fact for the most people realy like shadoo and thought the outburst was hilariouse. You should watch the link.

And it's not grasping at straws to state an actual relevant scenario. Was what Shadoo did considered harasment, sure. In as much as the Mittanis coment at fanfest, wich had pretty big consequeces. The problem currently is lack of consistency.
Either take harrasment seriouse and give equal treatment across the board or don't there is no middle ground here.

Good point! Fixed it and it is from a song, and is about a character in the LFG web comic.

Although CCP clarified their stance on this, the only place that I've actually seen mention that Erotica 1 was banned was on Minerbumping. (If I am missing any additional published info then point me to it please) And there, they said they were informed by Erotica 1. :P

April 1st is coming soon, as mentioned elsewhere.

I am also assuming that Erotica 2 is not the same individual.

Please note that I have no preferences in this entire situation towards either side of the argument, and am only really following it because its far better than any of the crap on TV now days. Quite curious to see how it all pans out at this point.

I'd be interested to know if E1 was ever warned about his activities before being banned.

I talk about EVE trading and general space violence in my blog.

I'd like to convince more of my coworkers and friends to try EVE, but if I had to answer the question of "Well, what do you DO in EVE?" with tales of begging in Jita and luring people to the glorious Bonus Round, not only would they not want to try the game but they'd also think I was not someone they want to be around.

I continue to be amazed that anyone's willing to defend the practice.


There are plenty of basement dwelling social misfits and closet sociopaths who will defend it.


Life is filled with all kinds of people, some bad and some good. So do you stay in your house all day afraid to go outside? Eve is more simulation than game and a reflection of what would happen if you put people in the environment that pod pilots are in. Think "Lord of the Flys".

Then everything you are saying now does not represent your real view, or you, because you are not saying it in a state of having lost your temper.

Or, are you mad right now?

Piggy saw the world not as it was but how he wanted it to be, so I'd guess that most of the high sec Care Bears could play the part...

Its entirely possible. And if I was Erotica1, that is what I would have done.
Faked my own banning, because I know CCP will not evidence it either way.

Hes already facilitated transfer of his assets to associates (including a substantial amount to TNO), and is on record as having said he has 50 alts on 23 accounts, iirc.

Nor do I have an issue with anynof the above. For all intents as long as the entity that was/is Erotica1 no longer operates in the game, and this statement in OP was made by CCP, the result is the same whether he was banned or not.

If he re-enters the game on an alias, that is not my problem.

Everyone on the island saw the world as how they wanted it to be. Piggy's broken glasses as a metaphor to what happens to idealism against the forces of imminent reality ie: his idealism was "broken" by his environment. Nonetheless, the little dystopia they built for themselves was not a "natural" state, it was just an extension of juvenile fantasy, made real.

And all of that turned out to be arbitrary the second the wider world (and its context) stepped back into the picture, when adults arrive at last to rescue them.

Ian Banks' "The Wasp Factory" runs a similar analogy, to the same conclusion.

False.

When someone, anyone, loses their temper, they behave in a manner that is not the "real" them.

Or are you trying to claim that everyone who is not in a state of losing their temper, is not the real them?

DERP!

Are you not real until you are angry?


When people are calm and collected they exhibit more self control and behave in socially acceptable ways, when they lose that self control and rage out that's the point at which everything they say is true or designed to intimidate or coerce. The fact that someone uses racist language in temper in an attempt to coerce the other persons into capitulating to their demands proves that they are racist and hold racist views, otherwise they wouldn't use them.

This is what I mean when i say that you get to see the real person when they lose their temper, you see the ugly side of them that they normally hide in everyday life. It might be ugly but it's still a side of them.


When I lose it I might smash your head into the ground until you need to be hospitalized, but I would never use a racial or sexist slur while I was doing it.

Strange but true.

We are a really ****** up species.

agreed, but you are clearly not racist, and as such, fun to be with.
