Let me tell you about a Mitten I know.

I first met Alex when I was still working at CCP at the Las Vegas EVE meet in 2009. After a few slideshows and lots of nerd talk, the people attending were broken up into five groups of 'devs' and given about an hour to come up with a new EVE expansion. Name, features, etc... Mittens said he didn't really want to do this or take charge of his group but, of course, he did. When it came time to present their expansion, he launched into a presentation called EVE Online: Corruption that pretty much owned. It was all about how ****** up lo-sec was and how you could do all this cool stuff to make it better and OMG METH-NAUGHTS (drug lab cap ships).

At FanFest 2009, Mittens first, he was all over the place in different panels and round tables. He was in my presentation on Game Design and it was either him or Zastrow that made the chainsaw sound effect for the new DD animation because the video I showed was silent. I remember him saying at one point, "Damnit, I just met a guy I really hate in ATLAS and he's actually pretty cool. I can't hate him now. Coming here was a mistake."Lol

I could talk a lot about the person behind the character, but probably the most honest (and possibly damning) thing I can say is that he's not the monster he wants you to believe. Even before he was in the CSM, I watched Mittens rant about nerfing supercaps just as enthusiastically as bitching about the EVE tutorial and how lost newbies are when they join EVE. I do not agree with him on everything and I wish he would put more of a happy face on sometimes in his responsibilities as CSM Chair, but there is no denying that he has put forth an extraordinary amount of time and effort into the CSM.

TLDR - The Mittani - he's actually a nice guy. Twisted


Quoting this from the bottom of the last page for reference, and also to possibly embarrass ~my ceo~.

Silly, newbies that get recruited from say a newbie drive are recruited even before they've started playing EVE.

I believe this makes you what non-goons call a "liar". Mudslinging makes you far too similar to real-world professional politicians for my tastes. Thanks for all your hard work grabbing power for an alliance I'm not in though.

Thanks for grabbing power for an alliance I'm in! Please continue to do your best :)

I recall they had difficulty finding anything about the BoB T2 BPO thing too, didn't they? Someone refresh my memory on this.

[quote=The Mittani]This is me. I like pretty girls and puppies. Punkturis is all right, too.



  • If you think that virtual pants are more important than spaceships, I don’t want your vote.

  • If you think that wardecs and PvP should be consensual, I don’t want your vote.

  • If you think that T2 BPO lottery was a good idea, I don’t want your vote.

  • If you think that EVE should be made ‘safe’ from scamming and griefing, I don’t want your vote.

  • If you think that suicide ganking should be banned, I don’t want your vote. In fact, tell me where you hang out, so I can drop a Brutix on you.

  • If “war”, “murder” and “conquest” are naughty words that scare you, I don’t want your vote.




I am and have been a hi-sec dweller but I agree with these things! See not all Hi-Sec are scared puppy dogs!

I would like to hear what you have planned however, or rather what items you would push over the next year. had to add an outside support since most support so far seems a little pedantic.

It would be better to accept and submit to a Tyrant that can rule well, than to subject yourselves to the will of the unwashed, uneducated masses. What is good for Goonswarm is good for Eve.

Submit and be fruitful.

You both are slightly incorrect actually.

The information leaked from a NDA protected channel was deemed non NDA breaking. That he leaked information from that channel was never in question. After the incident it was reiterated to all of us that the channel that leaked was not to be leaked in any way.

You and everyone else. Methnought BPOs would basically be a license to print isk. And idea full of win, a company full of fail, cast your vote for Mittens, and let the WIN prevail! Burma Shave.

I vote the methnaught have a new gang warfare link that allows a booster effect to be partially applied to the whole fleet for the duration, this would be in addition to the boosters used by any of the fleet users.

This would require a new siege module of course and it deploys itself into the smiling face of The Mittani, eyes glowing and green smoke pouring out from his mouth.

@Mittani: you can probably secure Hans Jagerblitzen's vote if you pinky-promise to make OMG METH-NAUGHTS happen. He loves his booster production.

I can't seriously imagine anyone being against METH-NAUGHTS
