A lot of what he posted was complete rubbish. Many times he posted about events which was so far removed from the truth it was fantasy.

As for the rest, none of it effects anything that happens in game. Nothing in Eve as we know will change. Nobodies play style will change due him no longer blogging. No Alliances will fall, nobody will leave, subs will not dramatically fall, the world will not end.

Everything will go as normal.

Far more influential players have completely left the game and you know what changed.. nothing. Eve went on as normal. So please spare me the dramatics that some guy who has stopped his blog is a terrible event and we will all be worse off.

There are many who have contributed and whose actions have more effect on Eve then Ripard could ever dream of doing.

As for his term on the CSM, he even admits that his Blog was created in order to get him elected. Now he has been there and done that his blog no longer serves any purpose.

He is no longer relevant. (If he ever was to begin with)



^^This. Somebody is quitting EvE. Yawn.

Or join the corp of griefers who wardecced your corp as noob, because they are awesome and got us out of the mission running grind and into the game. Not all griefers are 'reavers' and my god that 'eve is a griefing sandbox' article really does indicate it's time to stop.

Gl to Ripard anyway. There's nothing wrong with stepping back and doing what you enjoy. Not sure why you there's any need need to attention hoe about it. If he can't handle criticism of his inflammatory and frequently ill-informed remarks, probably is best to stop making them for a bit. Maybe if he starts actually playing the game rather than just commentating on it he'll restart the blog with less obvious bias.

Btw I need someone to become the 'Eve conscience' so I can report baddies to them for griefing. I'd like to nominate Ramona. Mainly because Ramonamobile sounds awesome and I can keep the sig. I'm sure you'd do an excellent job, please consider it. (I might pay. In Fedos.)

I've been putting this at the end of all the emails I send to gank victims:

Quote:
Under certain circumstances you may be eligible for reimbursement for your loss. If you feel this barge destruction was improper, please contact Ripard Teg.


Kind of sad to see him go. Hope he helped some of the guys I killed. Until a new false savior of hisec arises, I guess I'll go with this for awhile:

There are a lot of ways I wanted to approach this...

But I think this will do...

Relevant.

All trolling aside, it seems that Ripard could not handle the "savior of high-sec" crown he attempted to grab.

Maybe is was the forum shenanigans, and the long list of "nicknames" and meme's made by our wonderful community. (I am looking at you Malcolm and Jonah...aw, what the hell, I am just as guilty. Blink )

Maybe it was the hundreds of mails he was linked to for verification of the parameters of "torture."

But I now realize that he had thrown in the towel for other reasons.

His only accomplishment was abusing power to get a player banned. That's it.

Scamming didn't stop.

Ganking didn't stop.

Awoxing didn't conclude.

CODE. wasn't felled.

So I guess now the moral of the story is this...

You Ripard What You Sow. (Horrible pun absolutely intended.)

I've been reading his blog since I started playing over two years ago.. I will greatly miss him. I learned a lot from his writings and he always made me think. He certainly contributed to my continued interest in the game. I think losing his blog is a huge loss to the community to those of us who did read and enjoy what he had to say.

You summarize the 200+ positive answers to his departing post. Without Jester's Trek, his enemies gain nothing and EVE as a whole losses.

Q: Should we be worried? A: Nope. (...) Worry a lot if Fozzie, Masterplan, Rise, Veritas, Bettik, Ytterbium, Scarpia, Arrow, or even Greyscale leaves. Worry a little if Punkturis, karkur, SoniClover, Affinity, Goliath, or Xhagen leaves.

Not true. Another theme-parker skull is added to the emergent game play throne.

Met him at Eve Vegas 2013. Some people let their ingame persona leak out of the game. The guy was pretty taken with himself, and wasn't approachable to the normal Eve player, from my experience. I've followed some of his blog, and he's had some interesting articles, but Mike's blogpost about the three versions is a load of trash.

Ripard, Jester, or whatever... He let the game beat him as a person. He needed this break.

I did enjoy some of his posts... It's a shame he got involved in the whole E1 thing. He took down E1 but was his CSM position and the Jester's Trek blog a good trade?

So when is dinsdale going?

Riptard I do not care for. His post was drivel 90% of the time based on his ******** delusions of how something worked.

The only time I ever read anything is when somebody linked it in a channel going "OMG Look at this moron".

Why should anybody care that some random blogger aint blogging any more?

With Kobol on this one.... EVE will keep turning, nothing of value was lost although those mindless drones who think he was important that ate his drivel as he puked it all over the internet seem to miss him already.

Well, I've been following him too and I feel that in the last year he's grown aware that EVE is in serious danger. He moved from being aware that something had to be done, to be enthusiastic about CCP having a plan, to doubting that CCP Seagull could make a change in the stagnating trend, and recently he's been struggling with the evidence that EVE has started decaying.

And of course, he's been taking a lot of flak about the E1 scandal.
