They got off easy. Now, these guys not so easy.
Red-zone vandals jailed for two years
Mind you they did, "setting a quake-damaged house alight and destroying tens of thousands of dollars' worth of property at the other homes," and plead guilty to 11 charges of burglary. They're now hard time vandals.

Nice speedy and appropriate action by CCP on this issue.
I Hope CCP gets financial restitution from the idiots who caused the damage to cover all repairs to the monument. |

We're obviously not going to reveal if, when or what we're going to do in terms of boosting security around the monument, but you can rest assured that we'll make sure that things are covered.
i'm still sick to my stomach that someone would have done this to be perfectly honest, and I'm glad that we were able to solve the situation.

I read that this wasn't the only incident where the monument was damaged, just the only one where the perp decided to publicly brag about doing it. "Pretty much all 14 of the CSM were in favor of a drone assign nerf for OBVIOUS gameplay reasons" - Sala Cameron

Just to be clear... you think any country would extradite someone over vandalism? Isn't that just a misdemeanor? They might get perma-banned from iceland, but be realistic. Most people don't consider vandalism to be that big a deal (unless it happens to themselves.)
You sound young. No offense, but adults that actually own things take vandalism pretty seriously.
I can tell you had I found someone defacing my property in the middle of the night, they would be DAMN lucky to only be arrested for it. Frankly, a little pistol whipping isn't outside the possibilities.
Will someone be extradited? No, not likely, but a British or US citizen might find themselves in a court of proxy being charged in absentia. It happens every day. I know nothing about icelandic law, but if it's anything like US or British law, the offenders are in for a world of hurt.

Also good to see this get resolved. Play EvE how you want to play it and do not let others dictate how you play. Evolve your playstyle to protect yourself from others! Even in "PVE", "PVP" is there, lurking in the shadows. |

@CCP Falcon, I am sitting here feeling your pain and want to let you know I share it with you. You and the rest have done so much that we don't give you credit for and yet this had to happen. But in all honesty CCP and Eveonline will move forwards, it will move forwards now to greater heights never before imaginable in so many ways.
And to all here, lets bury this subject now and move on to what is going to be another exciting chapter in the history of Eve.

Really ? you think it was too harsh ? sorry but it was too lenient a sentence.
This sends a clear message that being an asshat and a douchebag will not be tolerated. Maybe those members of the community that like to take things to the extreme and seek attention will re-evaluate their behaviour in and out of game as well as their behaviour to other members of the community who have until now tolerated them and their actions.
Not mentioning names but its a shame that there are still a known bunch of dicks in the game who continue to tolerate and harass others who just want to play Eve and enjoy the game. Its about time CCP took a zero tolerance approach on harassment and bullying especially when it crosses over into the real world. |

And hell, other people brought it up, so why not... why does urging a couple thousand people to drive someone to suicide not result in anything other than a slap on a wrist, but putting some marks on a chunk of metal result in "pursuing punishment to the full extent of the law"? Maybe those people who are "prone to vandalism" should consider not destroying other people's property? Or is that not an option for them?

Its about time CCP took a zero tolerance approach on harassment and bullying especially when it crosses over into the real world. However I believe the point is that CCP did offer an olive branch to encourage the guilty party/parties to turn themselves in and thus far from all we've been told it would appear that didn't really benefit them over the ones that tried to hide from their crime, so there was no real reason for them to do so despite CCP seeming to imply there would be. It would just be nice if someone from CCP could detail what they did for those that voluntarily turned themselves in so if anything like this were to happen again CCP would have the credibility to make a similar offer.
Aside from that, I could go into detail about how CCP seems very inconsistent with their supposed "zero tolerance" but CCP will do whatever they ultimately want to do even if it smells a bit of double standards. |

This is what we get when people casually steal flags and put stickers on that same monument with no consequences.

In real world (where the monument resides), actions actually have consequences. You want to turn yourself in? Good for having a spine. Want to run away forever? Coward.
Own up = right thing to do. Not own up = logical thing to do. Ethics and logic overlap sometimes, but aren't interchangeable. Run away forever? Winner! Roaring with laughter!!
This was a lame and childish incident, to hear there was more than one involved is more of a bummer. People calling for beatings and such is even sillier. All over now, first post in this thread was pro, thanx.

Exactly, nobody knows what happened, so if the perception is that all vandals were treated equal would it not benefit CCP to detail what they did different for those who turned themselves in? If courts regularly appeared to dishonor plea bargains, then nobody would accept them, and that doesn't help anybody.

Depends on local laws. In the US if damages exceed a certain amount it is considered a felony not a misdemeanor. |

Falcon, this sort of language is pretty dramatic to describe a video game monument getting keyed.
Vandalizing your monument is certainly not something I would have done, but I can't be the only one to notice some hypocrisy or at least a little irony in this situation.
Setting aside the fact that CCP felt the need to build a monument to its players reminiscent of a war memorial, it seems odd that there would be this kind of outrage over someone taking a coin to your monument when you encourage all your players to "Be The Villain". |
