Media: Gosh, look what happened!

CCP: ****, we're legally liable for a fuckload of money if this goes to court. Plus it's already a lot of bad press. Get me Mittens on the phone or Skype or whatever the kids call it these days, RIGHT NOW!

Mittens: Yes?

CCP: Look, man, you really put your foot in your mouth in front of the entire world, and we kind of encouraged it. We're in a bind now, because of it, and we may have to remove you from your chairman position in order to save face and have something that may hold a shred of a defense in court. Please talk to The Whiz or whatever his name is and make sure he won't press charges.

Mittens: Alright, I'll apologize and give him lots of ISK and really try to butter him up and make she he's not feeling fiesty.

CCP: Thanks, Mittens old chum. Now let's just hope that this blows over very quietly.

Media: HEY EVERYONE! CCP ENCOURAGES YOU TO COMMIT SUICIDE!


...

It's not Mittens we should be mad at here, folks. It's CCP.

Whether or not you win the game matters not.  It's if you bought it.

Let's hope that The Mittani's ousting will be the first step in ridding Eve of Goons.

Also, reset TEST.

Well, he is openly a sadist, so should we take the chance it might come to that?


No, he's not really a sadist now. He says so in his apology. Nevermind what he's said on forums and podcasts to the contrary in the past. That was all just roleplaying.

Just landed. Step one, apologize profusely. Step two, resign. Step three, send all my isk to the victim. Entirely my fault and unacceptable.

The truth is, unfortunately, the one thing nobody is really confronting:

Resignations promised: 1
Resignations: 0



Well...how 'bout it? If you're stepping down, announce it. If not, announce that you aren't. Either way, you're just delaying the inevitable.

I blame the suicidal miner for doing something as ******* life-sucking as running a mining operation.

Seriously I would be on the edge of offing myself if my Eve: Online experience consisted of keeping my miners cycling and hauling ore to the station and back.

If I believed you actually care about the game and it's future development for the entertainment of all, rather than for the select group of individuals with similar immature and reckless atttudes you represent, then I'd believe the apology.


The votes show that the word you are looking for is "vast majority" not "select group of individuals."

More like because you feel a desperate need to white knight someone who doesn't need a white knight and a fanatical need to bring the Mittani for any number of reasons.

No matter how many of Mitten's friends come on here trying to defend his non-excusable actions, the fact remains that this will not be simply smoothed over with his "I was drunk" apology, nor any other. The game politics of who's alliance you are in has nothing to do with this. Mittani must be reprimanded for his severe actions against this poor suicidal person he had targeted to mock and make fun of in spite of his situation.


It is very stange how some would openly allow and feel no remorse for this sick and sadistic behavior exhibited by Mittani. Monsters will be monsters, I suppose.


Would that be be the poor suicidal person that joked about his "I want to die after my divorce" statement?

Or the poor suicidal person who was completely unaware that he was supposedly being "cyber bullied", and could care less about all this nonsense?

This sick and sadistic attitude of Mittani's is hopefully not just his "roleplaying as a bad guy" ideals coming out in real life. If this would be the case, it would imply that he is in a deep state of psychosis and is unfit to be a public figure to stress the opinions of multitudes of people. I certainly do not condone this behavior as acceptable. As said before, "The real you comes out when you are drunk".

This is not a 12 step program, it doesn't matter that mittens was drunk - it is no good excuse to make fun of a suicidal person. Mittani knew what he did was wrong, which is why he is trying to cover his tracks with a quick and simplistic "I was drunk, wasn't my fault, I'm a victim too" excuse.


Except he said his drunkenness is no excuse for how he acted in the ******* apology. It'd be awesome if any of you people bothered to read his post instead of immediately coming in to crucify a guy who's genuinely sorry about ******* up.


But in the beginning he says "I was drunk and didn't remember." Is being drunk an excuse or not? It seems like he can't make his mind up about it. It seems he's only apologizing because he f-cked up in a major way in front of everyone. If this had been some private matter and he showed a powerpoint at a Goonswarm convention, and someone quietly blogged about it, do you think he'd be writing a formal, public apology?

F-ck no.


Amazing how many sockpuppets are also telepaths.

I think we need to get a grip. All he did was make a tasteless joke. You assholes act like he pulled out a kitten and performed a live vivisection or something.

Oh wait, it's Mittani, so literally anything he does is "TEH WORST THING EVER." Stupid pubbie sheep.

Also: Reported for censorship bypass.



I act like he publicly disgraced an online community that I am a part of and ask for it to be dealt with accordingly.

There's no excuse for what I did - while some might try to use my inebriation as a mitigating factor, I put myself in that compromised mental state, and the guilt of that is entirely mine.


I'm starting to seriously question if anybody's reading the actual apology.


You seem to be one of those people that no matter what the offense, 'I am sorry' is supposed to make everyone accept it as fine and dandy.

Eve people are better than that.

Oh so if I "surprise sex" your mom, it's not a crime if she "wasn't that upset".

I get it: We can go around and do whatever we want, as long as it doesn't upset people.

But wait, doesn't that run contrary to Goonswarm Doctrine?

Heh I think I'm just about done here. Too much cognitive dissonance.

Mittens has always been a horrible person and his true colors finally shown through that smiling, charismatic veneer he puts on.

bullshit. perhaps the part at the end about getting him to kill himself was just a stupid drunken joke, but the public ridicule in the first place was premeditated while sober and is exactly the behavior people have come to expect from goons anyway
