He proposes to hunt down people in real life because they blew him up in a videogame, but that's what you read being wrong here?

Real life threats are serious. Pixels never are. Yeesh.

I wouldn't laugh at him too much if I were you guys.


He might use his Lawyer super powers to find you in real life.
And then he will send a ticket to CCP.

We'll see who's laughing then!

Seriously? He threatens to take real world vengeance on people who ganked him in a video game and you believe people playing the game within the rules of engagement are in the wrong?

He should be sitting out a 30 day ban and be removed from the CSM for those threats!

The only victim here is my eyes seeing that Raven fit. You saw the chat log in the article and you think we should respect that *******???? Get bent. Real life threats over a video game? Get ******* real m8. This guy is anything but the victim here. It's a goddam video game where ganking (and scamming) is a perfectly acceptable, and widely known about activity and he responds with threats of RL repercussions. Ban every last one of this dirtbags accounts.

Bully. A lot of people like to throw that word around. It doesn't mean what you think it means. Blowing up someones spaceship in a game about blowing up spaceships is NOT bullying. Whether they wanted it blown up or not. Whether you like it or not.

Threatening to hunt someone down in RL life over stupid **** in a video game on the other hand...

No. I have never failed at undocking a battleship in 7 years. I cannot help but laugh at both failing to undock a battleship successfully, and then failing before even undocking it.

Every precaution I've ever taken with 1 blue tank piece and some green damage mods on a spaceship became completely worth it, in that instant. Everytime I ever played the game well, got rewarded right then in that moment because this game stood up and failed someone for playing the game terribly.

Even right down to the fact that I figured out when, how and where to trust a goon, and when not to, and he didn't.

As far as making RL threats because he lost in a videogame, that is about as low as it gets.

Criminal lawyer, as in criminal defense lawyer, as in probably has contacts with people and organizations of dubious morality?

This could give a whole new meaning to the term "locator agent..."

Are people surprised he's making RL threats? Anyone hear of the Counter Strike player who stabbed a guy in the head cause he thought he was cheating.

People take this stuff very seriously.

This just leaves me baffled.... If I didn't hear about his shiploss ingame, I'd think it was some early april fool's joke.


It does remind me of this Einstein quote: *There's only two things infinite, the Universe and human stupidity, and we're not sure about the Universe*
Got to say, every time you think it can't get more idiotic, some fool steps up and proves you wrong....

At least CCP earned some good money off him (and quite some players profited from it as well).

nah there is no point in being a stupid defence lawyer. They have no leverage, and they are paid for their actual ability as lawyers, and if there is much of a sniff of client-lawyer privilege being broken or them throwing a case deliberately, then they tend to wind up dead.

Prosecutors on the other hand have massive leverage to be corrupt, or to be blackmailed. He is too dumb anyway, there is no way any good lawyer won't spot a confidence trickster as obvious as a GSF recruiter, nor would an accountant buy officer gear, because plainly in this game, the officer gear is sold by the Internal Revenue Service, and their agents are just outside the building.
