EVE General Discussion

Site written by Mittani, for Mittani's ego.

Nothing to see here.

First reaction was this is going to be BS. Actually decent reading. +1

That's a shame, and it seems the point was missed. Get past the name check out the site, it's very well designed and thought out. The articles so far are very promising, and lets be honest, the fact that it's named after The Mittani is probably just some ironic joke for the Goonswarm Fed.

Ripped from Endie's description of the site:

"First off, the name. Nobody who knows much about Eve Online thinks that The Mittani himself is a shy or retiring individual who has to be coaxed into offering his opinion, nor one who is reluctant to step out of the shadows. As such, I imagine that there is a natural presumption that the site name was his decision, and that it is an example of the industrial-scale hubris that led to Goonswarm’s capital system being renamed “Mittaningrad”. In fact, I chose the name despite his concerns. Mittani himself wanted the site to be called something very worthy and descriptive like “Internet Spaceship News” or the like: dull enough that I genuinely can’t remember.

“The Mittani” has become a brand: one of the most recognisable and googled phrases or labels in Eve, it simply has recognition value that we would have struggled to create with anything else. I wanted us to profit from the better part of a decade of work and history that many new websites would give their right arm to possess. Although I admit that the would-be customers of, say, a travel site start-up might be a bit confused by the name. And the consequences of seeking to piggyback on that history for a sensitivity-training and human resources dotcom would be downright disastrous.

I remember reading, several years ago now, one of our enemies sagely informing his alliance that there was no “The Mittani”: that it was a shadowy group who used the fictional character of “The Mittani” as a nom de plume through which to speak to Goons and Eve. I think that we have all seen that gelled hair often enough now to know that he was wrong at the time, but in the end he wasn’t that far off."

Because the site isn't owned by The Mittani?

AFAIK from reading is that it's Endie's project. Perhaps you should read that little block of text I just quoted. Or anything else on the site for that matter. At least then you could post something witty and true.

good prank? but looks better then eve24

But there is no section that belittles new players or threatens noobs. +1 if they add that section. Posting as a non goon alt who actually likes the site.

Calm down dear.

the newbies we recruit are from outside the game

i can't believe people don't know this
