I thought the mindset of the Goons was to grief others, not to grief themselves.

Mittens has literally given CCP no choice but to remove him from the CSM if nothing else.

For CCP, just the fact that they did not close down the panel does not bode well for their stance on the matter. Also the fact that the moderaters on this forum did not remove the 'deal with it' comment makes CCP look like they are condoning the comments from FF regarding suicide.

Looking at the way Mittens has conducted himself both on and off the forums, I'd like to say I believe his appology, but I don't think so.

The long and the short of it is this: CCP has no choice now but to replace you. You are not representative of the total player base and your own actions proved it.

The guy doesn't care. Even joked about it. The entire thing is so incredibly overblown, doubtless by those very people who detested the fact that Mittani was elected democratically for CSM chair (by a landslide).

I forgot to mention something in my earlier posts.


The reason why we are all posting about this is basically the following:

Carebear got ganked and tried to compel his ganker with a pitiful message that could be true or not true or not entirely true.
The ganker forwarded the message to Mittani that he used later on in his Alliance Panel presentation.
Mittani made some comments about the message, laughing in the essence at how carebear tried to get compassion out of his enemy.

I too get angry and sometimes sad messages from people, sometimes they are just as simple as "I cant afford a new ship". I do send people reimbursement ISK, but I dont send them when they are trying to play on a pity towards mentaly sick. Partly because I know those and the last thing they want is to be treated so. So why are you all trying to do the opposite?

Also, for those of you with "In real life he should be sentenced for this" issues, this is Eve Online, welcome to the SandBox.

People's justice means blood, it's not for fancy that judges were instated and lately the attorneys that nobody loves.

I'm getting bored of this crap so let me phrase you a little poem

I'm out of this witch hunt, getting far too dirty and smelly even for a non supporter of Mittens the char.
This as completely changed from a Mittens take down by any means to an Alex hunt and disrespect. You guys are exactly what you accuse him to be: irresponsible hideous jerks that can't make a difference between an internet space ship pilot and a real guy behind his screen.

At this very right moment I'm not proud at all of playing this game, not because of Mittens but because of this kind of puritanism middle age hunt attitude that creeps me. I should even say I'm quite disgusted of people's reactions.

Hope you will not resign as Chairman, despite I wasn't supporting your as candidate, and that CCP is capable to assume that in their internet space ship game of raging hideous pilots, their "legal" representative by whatever reason played his role a little bit too much, but without any sort of consequence other than raging politic posts.

Hell you have all seen it on the forums as well maybe not the exact way but its here. If someone comes on forums and says something you all attack them also. You should have had your macs aligned ha hah your an idiot can i haz your stuff. U mad bro and many other comments a 10 yo could come up with this is the typical eve players. Look at what they allow to happen and only because its in the spotlight anything is done about it. You even see it on the forums here about griefing a guy till he quits and they think putting someone through hell is funny. Hes a miner he should just quit anyway blah blah grief them all. This guy is a freaking idiot look at his fit blah blah kill his moron!! hahahhahah. This is nothing new CCP should come out and say yup this is the type of game we want eve to be or they should start cracking down on it in game and on the forums. You don't have to grief to have fun in eve but that is what everyone loves to do and they say they will quit if i can't grief people and act exactly like MIT acted like. You can go to war and not be a **** and have fun mature time fighting over sov and whatever you want to do. Quit trying to cover up what you all cherish doing, its what eve is known for. This is eve can i have you stuff since you butt hurt. Flame away and attack me for the true i just spoke its what you guys do best.



Well mr no linebreak. The simple answer is that when this stuff gets done in the game its assumed to be "in character" - its "the mittani" being a nasty piece of work to some random space pilot and his barge or "the mittani" scamming some space academy guy or "the mittani" doing some spying stuff and claiming the credit for some other guys fail cascading etc.

But what happened at fanfest had nothing to do with "the mittani" the character. It was Alex gianturkeyo ripping on some other player as the leader of Eve's player council in the view of the cameras in a performance that was immediately replayed and analysed by the gaming press.

If you mr nolinebreaks where to go and ransom some dude at an asteroid belt and say nasty things about his manhood (or lack therein) nobody would really care because you didn't have a tv crew recording it and streaming onto the internet.

And thats another difference really. When you stand for CSM elections you agree to set an example by your real life behaviour for other players and the example that Alex set on stage at fanfest was a frankly terrible one - indulging in a nasty little case of cyberbullying and namecalling and incitement to harrass some other player for the laughs and indulgent of his circlejerk.

He did it as himself, the leader of the CSM. And as you are seeing from the responses of genuine independent eve players in this thread - its simply not acceptable.


Pretty much this.

Ban him? no. Regardless a drunk man in public is a drunk man in public Even though that 95% know in fact this apology is not heartfelt nore do you probably even care about this. But, its internet spaceships.

Either remove him from CSM or have dude step down from CSM respectively? Yes.

As a chairman of CSM you have a public image to withhold and should have known better than to be a ****** and get tore the f|_|ck up before a presentation.

Step down as CSM and be an actual player. Lead your alliance and continue your "invasion" of my alliances space. I respected you more before you were CSM (not that you care) as well as other players.

Unlike most of the EVE players who are posting, especially those brainwashed to GoonThink, the REAL WORLD TAKES THIS VERY SERIOUSLY.

CCP will unfortunately now have to insert certain rules into our Game.

Sony, known for it's campaign against cyber-bullying, is now in a perfect position to drop Dust 514 like a Hot Potato.

THIS is exactly the kind of crap that kind of company will not deal with. At all.

Things will change unfortunately.

They absolutely will if CCP, no longer the truly independent free-spirit of the gaming world, wants to continue courting businesses like Sony and NVidia.

This kind of press to Sony: no Sir, they don't like it.

But then, when the mittani (I just can't capitalize it after this) brought the Goons over to OUR game, he said it was with the intent to destroy the game for everyone.

His words.

Congratulations Sir, you have succeeded beyond your wildest dreams.


Quoted for truth.



Quote is taken out of context. Goons originally came to EVE with the intent to destroy it, but loved it so much that they stayed.

I seriously doubt the people who voted him in wouldn't vote him in again right now given the chance, they're the people he's representing and stepping down would be an insult to them as far as I'm concerned.

He had well over double the votes of the 2nd highest guy - that's why he gets to represent the community.

People talking about bans and resignations when this is far from the 'worse case scenario'.


Somebody could make a complaint to the police (I am in no way suggesting it) but there could be issues over who has jurisdiction. Iceland, America or the country the victim comes from.

Internet law is in it's infancy, and I think getting police involved is going way too far for this case.



FBI would actually be where you start for cyber bullying in the USA since he is a US citizen.


This certainly isn't worthy of the FBI!
