EVE General Discussion

Its to bad that people have to go out of there way to destroy or vandalise a monument. CCP when you find the person or persons who did this grind them into the ground.

First – People are going to stop pointing fingers and blaming people. CCP will investigate and take any action against game accounts, along with any legal action that we feel necessary. This is already in progress.

Second – This is damage of public property in the City of Reykjavik. The police have been informed, and investigation is ongoing. This is not a laughing matter, and will be dealt with as a criminal offence. We are currently reviewing security footage from a number of surrounding buildings.

Third – People will stop attacking the victim of this on our forums. It’s not funny, it’s not clever. Take your rumor mongering and personal attacks away from our community. If you choose not to, you’ll be removed from the community, permanently. It’s a simple as that. We will not tolerate victimization.

Yeah...please check the Some EVE players can not separate themselves from the game thread.

Yes, they are blaming CCP but as you doubt have realized by now, thats how players get communication across.

I'm kinda hoping we somehow get to know who did this though.
Not because I want to "punish them personally" in any way, its just that this whole situation has left me curious.
I don't wanna be stuck on a cliffhanger!

If your going to quote CCP Falcon, at least put his name on the quoted stuff.

.mind blown.

Violence begets violence. I expect that CCP will do something more along the lines of sending the vandal the bill for repairs, perhaps with a note in the Reykjavik police files that this individual defaced property. There is no reason to "grind them into the ground," I'm sure the bill for repairs will be enough penance.

What does bother me is what reaction will come from other players who find out the identity of the vandal. Hopefully it will be something sensible like blacklisting from their current alliance, rather than public shaming (which only breeds resentment and doesn't help antisocial individuals become better integrated with society).

Just the bill for repairs is likely to be high: we're talking custom-manufactured aluminium laser-etched tile. Even mass produced tiles at the local hardware store are expensive. Pity the fool if they had to scrimp and save to attend Fanfest in the first place: getting into financial trouble will be disaster if this person came from the USA.

... sigh... misses the days of high voltage fencing... and the stench of toasted hooligan in the morning...

IB4L.......and possibly Falcon rage.

Big Fanfest reveal, 2015: a human-shaped statue next to the monument.

It's the guy who defaced the monument.

Everyone is shocked and then goes about their business. Surely the offender had not been extradited to Iceland and encased in a metal. The rumor passes into legend. Only CCP Falcon knew the truth, and he said nothing.

Called it.
