It's poetic and wouldn't affect gameplay in any real way. The EVE gate is the most tangible "connection" between the EVE universe and our own - the point where our universe got severed from the game universe. I like the thought of memorializing anyone who played EVE by giving them a virtual resting place just on the far side of the EVE gate - as if, in death, a small part of them passed on, and made it into the EVE universe itself. Like it, have seen a few members of the Eve community pass away over the years. This would be a nice little memorial. Or as most pod pilots real id's are anonymous, how about one memorial somewhere to the "unknown pod pilot", to mark all of those that have touched our community and passed on. Tal
I like this idea. It is simple, respectful and gives a place for remembering those who touched us. |

i really don't see a problem with setting this precedent. EVE would be more real if we had monuments to real players that impacted the game in grand ways. Or naming systems for that matter, it would be much like the naming of modern states and nations.
not to mention, this would probably be an enormous conflict driver, and there are few mmo's out there that could pull this off. by that i mean there are few mmo's out there in which players would truly care enough to defend. Talk about having something to fight over; can you imagine how hard an alliance would fight to keep control over a system named after a fallen comrade? i'm willing to bet that for those that have everything, this would be priceless.
perhaps ccp could introduce a process for nominating a player named system or monument. with enough support a null-sec system could be named after the person's character. i think its key to have the system/station/monument be conquerable.
just a few thoughts anyways...
oh yeah, i support this! |

If you really want to make an impact on his EVE career then just post here or on another thread and let go. Its a part of life to accept death.
i dunno, i don't really see it as denying death, just acknowledging that EVE is what it is because of the actions of its players, much like the real world. to me, looking at a map and seeing systems named after great EVE pilots would add much depth to this game. learning about who they were and what they did would create a level of depth that no fiction RP story could emulate. just my 2 isk. |

I feel your pain guys, but doing this will cause a ton of problems. It's not like people are going to remember him less if a system is not named after him. Even a statue will create problems. We have capability to change station names and more importantly the ability to donate real funds to help his wife and children.
What would be more fitting is if CCP allowed us to PLEX for the donation fund that is being setup. I don't know the exact details, but I'm sure something can be worked out. An ongoing way to PLEX for anyone that has departed us would also be nice. That would eliminate favoritism and any other kind of backlash.
It is times like these that I realize we do have an amazing community. Don't create wedges between us.

Mittani, please do this...
The Vile Rat Annual Memorial Free For All Event...let people sign up and pay a nominal fee to participate in one (or all, if they wish!) of the four ship classes, being frigate, cruiser, battlecruiser, and battleship. Hold the event in the system where Rat currently resides, and give all participants a one day pass to get to that system. The rules would be simple...only one makes it out alive in each ship class. Shake the heavens themselves to let him know that we will not forget a man such as him.
While this goes on in game, you could hold s real world event as well, golf tournament, barbeque, whatever he liked to do. I know I didn't know him, but I'd participate in such an event to keep his memory alive, and to honor a man that served his country selflessly for so long.

First of all; a tragic event, in a world filled with equally tragic events. But this is a game. I don't want to be reminded of rl religious hate and terrorism when I log in to EVE.
If goons want to make an in-game remembrance of one of their dead comrades let them give his toon a spanking medal, a glorious title or rename all their stations in his memory. Even rename all their ships in his memory for the rest of the game's existence.
Goons wanting special care taken for the passing of one of their own isn't really all that fitting; goons haven't exactly been overly sympathetic with other players rl strife and tragedy in the past. |

i am not now, nor have i ever been a goon; i just think this would good for the game. and i certainly don't think it should be reserved for goons. this may be just a game for some, but others pour their lives into it, and it all make this game what it is. EVE wouldn't be the same without the effort and toil many have put into it over the years. IMO, to have a little something to remember those by wouldn't lessen it in any way; on the contrary, it would make it more meaningful.

Why are you making this about Goonswarm? There are plenty of people (myself included) that dislike and despise Goonswarm for what they are in EVE...this has nothing to do with that. This has to do with the passing of a man who did great things for EVE regardless of the alliance he was involved with. The request made by the OP in this thread has evolved at this point to being more than just a request for a monument of one man but a monument to all of EVE pod pilots that have passed.

Why is it that goons go to extreme measures to mock the death of other players and even getting on stage demanding action be taken to cause someone to kill themselves... but when one of their own dies, it is serious business??
How about you guys treat all death with respect and don't harrass those grieving. |

what about the agent Jeremy Tacs ? I thought they were named after a player that died ?
Monuments have a problem with people vandalising or defacing them, to provoke other people. A monument to Sean Smith / Vile Rat would become a thing for some people to vandalise, to provoke Goonswarm.
I didn't know the man, but he was a person that cared a lot about EVE and the community, as evidenced by being on the CSM, and for all that to be reduced to a thing that petty people vandalise in order to antagonise Sean's friends, I'm not comfortable with that. |

How about you guys treat all death with respect and don't harrass those grieving. Again...this has nothing to do with "The Mittani's" fiasco at FanFest. Why even bring that into this? Besides...that issue has long since been resolved. He recieved his punishment and life goes on. He misspoke and this is about a valuable member of the EVE community and the CSM for several years who actually passed away.

This is pretty much how I feel about it, Goons will likely never go disappear, and It wouldn't surprise me at all if there is at least one station named after Vile rat as long as eve servers are running. |
