(Thanks, again Jester for a decent, and informative website. Sorry to see it go. Judging by the intelligence of this herd of asshats, and haters, I can see where the shine may have been taken off just a little. Good luck to you, mah man.)
Speaking of the intelligence of asshats....

Part of me actually feels sorry for ripard, all of the effort he put in to his blog and his legacy will be "the guy that started a witch hunt".

That Ripard posted in his blog about the bonus room scam and for some folk to then conclude from this that CCP then, and only then, felt that they had to deal with it, is rather like my doing a rain dance just before a storm and folk concluding that I was the cause of the storm.

I did not care about the scam part of the bonus room, nor getting the mark to sing songs etc, if the mark was daft enough to do these things, Ero and friends were smart enough to let him.

The part I did object to, and considered to be beyond the pale, was where Ero and his buddies made fun of the fact that the mark had a slight speech impediment.

But that is just my personal take on the matter.

Folk who support Ero, should quit the game until CCP reinstate him with suitable compensation in lost skill points etc.

The five or so of you will not be missed.

getting ero back in to the game is irrelevant, the precedent has already been set.

Dear Dave, I agree, the precedent is that CCP finds some behaviour to be beyond the pale and are prepared to ban some folk for some behaviours.

Sounds good to me.

Why would we do that, so you can have the rainbow filled carebear game you so desire? Why don;t the few of you that hated Erotica 1 just head of to hello kitty online. We'll stay here with the "victim" who agreed that Erotica 1 did not break the rules.

A better idea though is to scam more, gank more, awox more, laugh and say "HTFU" more to every noob that enters the game. Strictly keeping to the rules, push every carebear to the point of tears then link them CCP HTFU song. At the end of the day, the only reason some people wanted E1 out is because he was a scammer and they had been scammed and thought "hey, this is a way to get our own back", so the best way to deal with those people is to make it worse than before.

All that said, there's nearly zero chance that E1 isn't back in the game already.

Yeah, because if you don't like the way something is being done, you should run away, right? The mind of a teary eyed carebear is so simple.

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. The highsec pubbie rapture is a myth no matter how many times you shout about it every time CCP attempts to balance the game it will always be a myth.

I do not, nor have I ever posted that I favour one sec of the game over another in terms of game balance

I have never asked or suggested that any sec space be altered or amended in any way shape or form.

I do not, nor have I ever hated Ero, I have posted that I found him to be mildly amusing at times and mildly annoying at times.

I did not ask that, or suggest that he be banned from the game.

You really should think before you post dearie.

Still, just posting words to the effect of, "but I'm hard innit" does not require any thinking on your part.

This the route I took.

And I make sure that every. last. one. of them knows exactly why.

You can’t put CCP in a position that they have to react and then get butthurt when they do because you continue to tip toe to the line and then finally fall over that line.

Every one needs to be held accountable for their actions and answer for those actions.


that analogy might work, if ccp weren't aware of erotica's actions.
however, due to GM intervention in previous bonus rooms.... they clearly were aware.

Being aware and being forced to act are to different things. Had it only been a one time thing then they may not felt the need to act. If it is as you suggest and they were aware and felt action was required based of past history.

E1 broke the rules one time to many and forced CCP to get involved.

I never have understood why people never accept responsability for what they do. "NOT MY FAULT"

Just because E1 got away with it in the past doesn't mean it should have continued.

Now you know where the line is and dont step over it unless you want your peepee wacked.

Dont have to like it but we need to accept it or find another game.

Sounds kind of like Ripard's philosophy on EVE.
