^^ -- Pretty much this

Alex is doomed by his ego.

Please post evidence of your assertion that he tried to cling to power and or weasel his way out of this.

edit: hehe your opening line, what have you been dishonest about?

It's not Jitas fault your leader took a -50DKP hit cause he was not where the **** he was suppose to be.

After almost 10 years of playing this game, and yes reading posts for all those years, I decided to write in because of this matter.

First, I would like to say Eve is a great game and I continue to play because of CCP and their abilities to listen and provide great content on occasion. With that cudos out of the way let's get to the point

This year I watched all of Fanfest on live stream and after watching the Alliance Forum this year I must say I found it hard to be proud of the fact I have been a member of Eve Online for almost 10 years based on the actions I saw. I found the forum a waste of my time and it made me sick (or maybe sad is a better word here) to see all the things said and done during the forum event.

I found it sad that the big (and small) Alliances members of this forum felt the need to be drunk in public, use the F-bomb word, say any cuse words they could to grab attention from another forum member, and constantly and basically act like a member of Animal House during a public and streamed event. I love beer, the F-bomb, cusing, and the movie Animal House but there is a place and time that they are appropriate to use those things and act like a high school kid. Passing a bottle of booze around on stage and telling everyone how superior you are to them and telling people to get a life is not what the Forum was for. I thought I would learn something new as always watching this but all I learned is that some people think they are bigger than the game itself and find it funny to make fun of others and push them to the point of no return. Thats not right and I guess people here agree.

During the broadcast I watched the CCP moderator just stand there but never step in which also pissed me off. It was so stupid and obvious the forum had become meaningless and was just a forum for where each member wanted to bolster his god-like image in Eve. It was obvious that bringing up a specific Eve player and calling them out was the wrong thing to do and Im glad CCP did something about it in the end. It was far too late though.

As for Mittens, it was wrong and claiming you dont remember saying what you did and said that night is just a lame excuse and is no excuse.

Skinny, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life but it seems some people feel it is.

Jita will burn.

One thing that seems to have escaped the members of Goonswarm and others is that the Mittani's actions at FF could potentially bring a media storm CCP 's way where the game itself could suffer from being the subject of widespread media damnation.

Imagine what would happen if the mainstream media decides to run with this where cyber-bullying and harrassment over the internet is gaining more and more political involvement. Then look at the fact that 13+ year old children are allowed to be involved in the game and the potential is there for CCP being literally forced to change the game or lose their Teen rating if nothing else.

The elements that make EVE Online unique need to remain within the game and not spill over into internet broadcasted RL events or the potential is there for us all to eventually wear the consequences by having the game become a watered down shadow of what it once was.

Mittens gave CCP no choice but to take the action that they have and if he cares at all for the game then he should respect that.

This thread is full of conjecture masquerading as fact. Since he issued the apology, no where in this thread or in any other thread on any other forum have I seen a direct quote from The Mittani saying:
I have decided not to resign. (clinging to power)
Actually this is more CCP's fault, (weaselling way out)

Nor have I have seen anything from CCP indicating that course of events. Please note the Eve 24 leak/paste bin leak were written by the Mittani after his ban was initiated by CCP so did not contribute to the creation of the mess as you assert, but are irrelevant to your claims.

Heh. Why would I blind with rage that a drunken idiot who obviously broke the EULA terms and harassed a vulnerable player was punished by CCP? Oh wait that is another baseless assertion.

Your assuming the Goons can see the big picture.


The goons have a very myopic goon centered world view. Part of what you get from the SA community.

Wow oh Wow:
1. H2 and TB had been at each others throat for literally decades with both residing in exile in foreign countries for extended periods of time.
2. The "prize" in their battle was control over England and parts of France. H2 and TB personified the Battle between Church and Crown.
3. The murder of TB resulted in the widespread uprising of religious masses that began the process of segregation between church and state.

Please, please, do not belittle this amazing piece of anglo-saxon history that had repercussions across the globe by attempting to algin it between a drunk Internet Spaceship Pilot who gives an audience a previously unknown Internet Spaceship Pilots name and encourages others to help him commit suicide. There are parallels but this is not history in the making.
