EVE General Discussion

Again which rules apply, is decided by CCP. And actions you take that might go into the media will reflect badly on CCP and EvE might call for a ban hammer.

CCP might see a difference when not a corps but a single person is affected. Also its very st-u-pid to boast like that and put the recordings of a private(!) chat onto soundcloud. There are enough reasons to pick to sanctify the bans.


by the way: was that pun intended?

The same could be said of pretty much anything that crosses a GMs desk, I'm merely pointing out the general guidelines as I understand them.

The ban hammer is a given depending on how bad the press is, the precedent was set when Kugu got banned and reinforced somewhat when Erotica got banned.

It's a pretty standard scam and it's one that's existed for years in Eve, as the old adage goes : A fool and his money are soon parted.

The recordings while distastful aren't private by any means, it's pretty common knowledge that anything you say or write in Eve to another person can and will often be used against you; as such you shouldn't have any expectation of privacy as per the EULA

You'll probably find most voice/text chat software has similar boilerplate contained in the EULA.

There is no way for CCP to enforce privacy on ingame or external communications so IMHO it makes sense to apply this clause to all communications that involve other players and game activity.

That's not for you or I to say, that is entirely down to CCP.

oh look, i started with this notion...
so whats the point of throwing around parts of the EULA.
O and by the way, i think the victim was not told that the conversation would be recorded and may be considered private, despite any excuse you are grabbing for. those i-d-i-o-t-s wanted to brag and where fishing for applause but got kicked out of eve instead. this makes this unintendend pun absolutly hilarious.
Furthermore, please notice, that i already agreed, that this was a normal scam, just not a great one.
Moreso please notice, that no rippard tegg is needed to get CCP to ban people and rippard tegg has never been the reason for those bans. accusing tegg was always just the try to put blame on someone else than the perp.

Great name, will be missed if you turn out to be about as good for the game as they were.

That's pretty simple isn't it?

A few guys had some fun over another guy. Everything went smooth and gentle until one of them decided (or it was collective descicion) to make that case popular and it was thrown onto news portal. So after that we had a honest comuunity reaction from - "<3" to "die bastards"! EULA doesn't cover "a scam" portion, at least i didn't find it there saying it is offcicial and legal.

So one fo those guys banned now, and he was banned for a reason which CCP defined valid and strong enough to proceed with such penalty. More to come.

I simply do not care.
I do not speculate either.
There where enough reasons to pick for CCP.
CCP found one to --> investigate!
If its perma might to be proven, if someone would care.
Which i do not.
So i am not perplexed.

I am just having a big time seeing how this pathetic stunt backfired.



No it is just one of other possible reasons for CCP to investigate.
I do not want to discuss about EULAs, thats all.

Than again you start with EULAS.
As is said, the victim did not need to assume that those conversations would be published in this way.
EULA?
remember? i do not care!

And no you did not mention Ripard Teg, i did!
I think "why" should be clear if one reads my Postings seriously.


You really hope(think) i would ever click a link of yours again?
lol

No keep your spoon to lick for yourself and stuffs for yourself...

For kids:
Actor impersonates some person to create enjoyment for other people. He does his stuff in movie/series/ets to other actor who impersonates another person. In result all actions stay in movie. Plus actors get paid for their service.
In simple words actors is just another profession.

Now try to think why did you bring actors here?

Agreed.

Hell now that I'm thinking of it :

IMO the most successful (in terms of capturing the feeling of EVE at least) ads for the game was the recent one containing teamspeak recordings. So is CCP saying "we're happy for teamspeak to be released from our players, but only if its people being HAPPY"?

Its fine if its for an advert but not if its for entertainment?

Kaalatas gets banned on purpouse,

Every other character is fabricating the rest of the story, player donations rool in to the victim.

profit?
