It's basically EN24 with flashier graphics..Make of that what you will.

This pretty much sums up the whole thing to be honest. Just slanted the other way.

Pretty witty! I like it. Have you checked out the site or do you know of any others that people should check out to increase their metagaming enjoyment?
I'll stick with EVE News 24, they don't leave me feeling dirty after reading it. Sorry but Themittani just has too much goon stigma around it, should have named it something else and kept it away from that.

It's kind of like Fox News, even if they run a really insightful story, it's still Fox News.


You might be right.
That thought also crossed my mind.

It probably would be a lot more interesting to a lot more people without the clear goon signature.
Mittens was right about not using his name would be better.

If the site looked and was titled and promoted completely neutral they would have tripled the number of readers every day probably.
Whether the contents are neutral or not, I might add.

Not saying the following names are better, but as example:

EvE independer
New Eden Daily (weekly)
The Procurer
EN24

And if you really wanted to use Mittens name, put it in an acronym..."Hail the Mittani Daily".....HTM Daily
(just an example)


I also see someone say anyone "mildly" literate and talented can send in pieces and wont get rejected, I highly doubt that.

Lets pretend I am mildly literate and talented....and wrote something to be published

Would you publish?

I think Ide see arguments like "we dont do scrubs"...

Well like any site one or two posts can alter the perception of who they are siding with, to be honest it't like the press in any country, you need to buy 3 or 4 papers to read in-between the lines to get the truth in any story.

At least with having the "Mittani" TM brand will give it some exposure which is all most websites want.

The brand is the problem due to a stupid mistake.

A bit like:

One day all the milk from holycow was taken out of the supermarkets after finding large amounts of it being poisened due to a lack of coating on the inside of the packaging.

First thing you need to do to be able to remarket it is rename it.

I don't think we need to pretend the name is the problem people have with the website. They're coming up with enough imaginary issues for themselves to have problems with anyway.

Exactly what is wrong with the brand though??

It's up to the reader to determine if the information provide has any slant. The reader knows what he is getting when he goes to the website.

The name is the root cause for people having issues with it.

Imaginairy issues with imaginairy arsticles, I'de say that part is fairly balanced.

I see what you are saying.

But this is not the real world you see, we all play eve and we all seen what happened to the brand.
Even the brand himself knows this.

The right question is, in what genre, the answer would be:

What's the subject of satire? What's stopping you? Submit it to EN24, or start a blog, and start threads here like Poetic Stanziel.

The subject seems clear, anything happening in EvE.

There is nothing stopping me other than, still to busy getting a good platform.

I do not see EN24 being different from tm other than pov.

Blog yes, but different, as said, still busy getting a good platform.
Also, I need to recruit soon so some tasks for the corporation can be taken over to create oppertunity to write.

Starting threads here is futile, its either locked or trolled to death. Which is a damn shame really.

You are so wrong....but truth be told, yes goons provide fuel just as any other entity within EvE.
The only difference I see is that there is a lot more attention seeking by Goons.

I can come up with pieces to write 24/7 all year round without once mentioning goons.....seriously...
