So basically what I got from this is that you believe that because the recordings happen outside of game somehow this constitutes crime. And as such Ero1 should face criminal charges. Okay, so when did cops give a damn about space stuff?

So besides the odd edgy post, you have no serious reply to this whole thing to show all the doubters that what you did/do is perfectly acceptable?

No player will participate in any out of game actions with the intent to cause emotional distress for their own enjoyment and gain.

Hows that?


So if my girlfriend is an EVE player and I bang her sister, I'm banned?


Yes banned...as in 'Banned to the Bro Hall of Fame', but only if the sister is really hot.

Then stick to the point I made and not the illustrating metaphor if the subject is too sensitive for you to see past the literal phrasing and see why it applies.

How do you define morality?

When does an action become immoral?

What makes this action any more or less immoral than making someone sing to avoid a podding?

That is a tradition in EvE and has been since long long ago

Before this discussion goes any further, I'd like to remind people to make sure they stick within the forum rules and not let this get out of hand.

I'm well aware that that there's opinion on both sides of the fence here that's extremely strong, as I have my own opinions on this too.

That said, keep it within the forum rules, and keep it civil.

It would be nice if CCP could state whether it is acceptable to them for someone to abuse or bully another player ingame because the other player has a speech impediment. Question Then we can go back to playing EVE.

I can't even conceive why some people here would defend Erotika for his actions. Especially from a community that can be so willing to fight in-game then so friendly RL.

I don't event understand how people can babble about suicide laws when mittens was banned for this precise reason without any law to back this up. And everything thought that it was a legitimate move of CCP at the time.

Also lets note that Erotika didn't even answer the thread, usually thats the kind of person to answer with bravado to threads like this. Guilt sign?

I also took notice that Malkanis, the CSM member the most widely known for misbehaving and being agressive toward community members on public forums -its not against the CSM rules mind you, just against ethical rules, like here- has been answering quite actively to this thread. To the point where it becomes disturbing...

So... Clearly there is a part of the community here that misunderstood the sandbox concept. They took the in-game caracteristic and used it to justify actions done on a personal-level, out of the game.

Is the fact of torturing someone on non-eve comms against the EULA? Nope.
Is the fact of recording said actions and sharing them with the eve community? If it was for mittens, it definitely is. (remember that part of CCP's justification was because it was done on stream, thus recorded and shared).
Is it a good advertising of the game and an expected behaviour coming from an eve player? Nope.

People are banned on other MMOs because its against the EULA to talk about their game with negativity. if THIS is an acceptable ban behaviour, then again, banning Erotika surely is.

I see this as using a game as the means to an end. Not playing a game and taking advantage of the mechanics.

Pulling people outside of the game for their twisted amusement is the modus operandi of pedophiles and psychopaths.

CCP could wash their hands of this legally, but once something bad happens out-of-game things will get really bad for them really fast. The press is not your friend, CCP. Nip this in the bud.

Mittanigate was a worldwide sensation (in the gaming press) and what he did was nothing compared to what Erotica1 has going on. You are in for a world of hurt if you don't get a handle on this.

Mr Epeen Cool


Yes. This activity is clearly outside of the game. The scam was successful and finely done. Sohkar lost all in game items and gave up his API and IP address. Erotica 1 could have stopped at that point with a clear, effective, and fine scam.

Instead the activity was moved to an outside Teamspeak server presumably to avoid 6.A.5 of the EULA (no abusive or harmful conduct). The rest of the activity was only related to the game in that Erotica 1 demanded various services for in game items. In this case Erotica 1 seems to prefer humiliation and rage porn instead of money.

Learn the boundaries of the game. Play hard and mean in the game. Outside enjoy life with your wonderful fellow gamers.

If miners in local can talk about my small male organ, then I guess CCP is ok with it. But you should petition it and see. Not my male organ. I already petitioned that to God and he said "LOL."

I think you have confused me with someone else. Not everyone who disagrees with you disagrees with everything you have said. Nor are they all arguing from the same viewpoint. Nor do they all agree with everything your opposition has said.

Wake up and realize there are different people in this thread.

I could care less who was scammed out of what virtual items or ISK. That is part of EVE. Everything that happened within the game is part of EVE as far as I can tell.

Malcanis trying to inject highly charge political and religious topics into the discussion is all I responded to. It is not worth discussing.

Crime, it is not a "career", it is a lifestyle.

I think some of you have a wildly extreme viewpoint of what consists of bullying and abuse.

Sorry. Any appeal to Magic Sky Daddy and the make believe stories associated with him are not valid. Try again.

I can play Eve just fine without ever seeing any response from CCP regarding this matter. If you can't that must be same magic power that kept bonus room going for hours.
