EVE General Discussion

Hi, I'm Mr Omniblivion.

This is stupid. The in-game way to verify whether or not I'm actually Mr Omniblivion is to invite Mr Omniblivion into the conversation to confirm. Or to check my alliance title that says I'm Mr Omniblivion (via the Exec Corp of the Alliance). Or to check the alliance Description that shows that I (and Mr Omniblivion) are both characters to contact to rent. Or by checking either one of our in game profiles where we link the other character stating that they are alts.

There are plenty of ways to verify authenticity- if someone is too lazy to do any research whatsoever, how can you hold the other party at fault?

How could this be a serious rule - about all characters are seen as their own, independent entity - yet you can suicide gank in empire down to -10.0, and then after a few hours of ratting in null be friendly again with CONCORD. I mean c'mon, if we're not allowed to say we are are own alts and there is "no in-game way to verify", then how can such an un-realistic mechanic be allowed to exist? We're going for realism here, right? Each character is an individual that has their own independent interests, right?

I think this is just poor explanation of the rules. GMs say that it doesn't affect scamming, but then the "definition" clearly bans pretty much every type of scamming. Then to expand that to honest representation (for those of us that don't scam)- that's ridiculous.

I think EVE needs more russian players...

Sorry, I can't confirm or deny this statement as:

All my EVE characters are beautiful strong independent characters that don't need no man.

You just impersonated a GM.

Oh man, look at all this publicity we're getting! Spying and intrigue! Real newspapers are picking up the stories! That's terrible, we should remove it. --CCP

I like bashing this stupidity as much as the next guy, but lets have some common sense for a minute.

The clarifying post clearly clarified that the person in impersonation is defined as a character. A opposed to the player behind it, or an arbitrary entity such as an account.

Lets say Solstice Project makes an alt. [ISMETA] wardecs a corporation. He approaches the corporation with the alt and says "I'm Solstice project's alt, give me 100 mil and I drop the dec". They pay up and contact Solstice about the transaction. He says no, that's not my alt you got scammed.

What the nice GM is saying is that it does not matter that the alt is in fact the same player, or even on the same account as the main character. He falsely spoke on behalf of the main with malicious intent. So the alt gets a name change and a time out.

pls no

I would like to apologize to the person who bought Oura Madusaari from me. Sorry to make your life difficult.

Actually I take that back. I would like to express sympathy with no admission of association or liability to the person who bought the character formerly known as Oura Madusaari from the previous account holder of the character, whomevery that might be.
