EVE General Discussion

Maybe not the organisation itself, but its leader is/was a big **** stirrer.

Again someone who, under my understanding, gave up their job to become a full time attention seeker in eve, took it too far, lost the blur between a fantasy world and reality, and publicly advocated at fanfest to encourage bullying and harassment to the extent of telling a suicidal person to kill themselves.

Yeah pretty ****** up but hey its EVE its ok because EVE is meant to be a big cold hard world that attracts these ****** up individuals to the game and its ok ! - like ******* hell it is.

Just because eve is a big bad cold hard world it doesn't being an attention seeking asshats and general douchebaggery in real life.

I don't know about the rest of the world, but in the UK now you can be arrested and prosecuted for comments made on places like twitter and social media. As soon as people are made accountable they then think twice about posting racist comments on twitter or slandering others.

attacking a miner that can't fight back is like a grown man beating his wife because he knows she won't do anything about it.

Well said. Now I'd you excuse me.. Im off to web and scram the wife and get some docking rights for my thorax

Dude, that green color isn't good. I'd recommend seeing a doctor.

I don't usually receive death threats from nullsec people when I blow their ship up or steal something from them. However in highsec I'm at a ~1:3 rate for threats of violence over in-game actions.

I bet if we compared the amount of highsec people that thought committing violence over in-game actions was okay versus the amount of nullsec people that thought committing violence over in-game actions was okay that there would be a significant difference.

Considering how extremely upset some people in this thread are, I think it bears mentioning that if the person or persons involved are caught, that it is in fact not okay to obliterate their names from the monument in some kind of revenge. Nor is it okay to enact your own justice upon them in other ways. CCP is handling it, you don't need to do anything other than be outraged or come forward with information. I've gotten that vibe from some of the posts in this thread that some random person might take it upon themselves to do something equally stupid to what's already happened. Many of the posts in this thread could very well be scaring the vandal off from stepping forward due to fear of retribution that does not fit the crime.

I noticed that this year's fanfest was far more violent than last year's. Brawls at Nora's, cop cars and paddy wagons filled up with drunk assholes, and people getting the crap kicked out of them over pubcrawl flags. Punching someone out over a strip of cloth, breaking their nose, and kicking them when they're on the ground is (this happened, I don't know who it happened to, but it wasn't a pretty sight), in my opinion, far worse than what happened to the monument. The vandalism might be explained partially by the general attitude of some folks who play the game and can't distinguish reality from internet space and consumption of alcohol, but there is never any excuse for violently attacking someone unless it's self-defence. The night of the Party At the Top of the World I saw the cops tossing people into the paddy wagon almost wholesale, something that did not happen last year. From what I saw, despite there being far fewer people, there were a lot more people getting arrested for being ******* drunks than last year.

A lot of vandalism (putting your name on the walls in the washrooms of a bar is vandalism too, folks), fighting, and general assholery happened this year. The monument vandal should be ashamed, but we should also be ashamed. Maybe we should appologize as a community to the city of Reykjavic for our behaviour and consider ourselves lucky that they're letting us come back next year. We can do better, we have done better, and we should do better.

Mittani got a one month ban for basically issuing a death threat

Erotica1 got banned for laughing at a willing participant


Giving the above whom ever defaced the monument will probably be handed a fully pimped titan
