Seriously, most of the player base had no issue with the event setup itself or the comments made. We were rather happy about the setup, and some of the presentations were rather good, including the controversial presentation in question.
Remember who you are supposed to keep happy?
Sony?
The Gaming Media?
Soccer Moms?
no...
Think Incarna?
Who was unhappy?
What happened when those people were unhappy?
Is that what you want CCP?
Did you learn your lesson?

He mixed RL and Eve. By telling people about the guys RL and then doing things in game to effect the guys RL he broke the rules. He left the Sandbox. In game leaders can act however they wish. But CSM members are a part of Eve outside NEw Eden and inside the sandbox also. They should act more professional than that. CCP has taken the CSM VERY seriously. Mitanni did not do the same. he seems to be a very intelligent person. I am sure he is aware that politicians are held accountable for there actions. |

While your character pic is freaking awesome, your logic fails. You are saying the same group of people who were upset at crap like Incarna will be the same people pleased with the current status of the Alliance panel and Fanfest in general. I personally know you do not have proof of that. |

My vote, as well as those of 17% of those who bothered to participate, were simply tossed in the trash?
I'm not sure that even the American Democratic machine in Chicago has ever been responsible for nullifying that large a voting block.
I would like to apply my vote to another character. I'm suspect others may as well.
The Republican party is responsible for far worse. So don't even go there. All the votes were counted and Mittani won the chairperson's seat. The simple fact is that your leader failed you because drinking is more important to him than your votes or support.
Also, 17 percent? lol, we are The 99 Percent! 99>17

While it is important for CCP to think about the voters who are unhappy with the decision, they also have to consider how this will affect the long-term image of EVE Online, as well as the hundreds of thousands other subscribers.
The Alliance Panel was meant to represent us, the player community. There we had among the best GÇ£athletesGÇ¥who are very good in the game to share with the public why EVE is enjoyable.
Of course, they also indirectly gave an impression on how the best EVE gamers are like outside the virtual universe, a glimpse of the culture of EVE community.
ThatGÇÖs why CCP should and have taken this extremely seriously.
His sincere public apology shows us that Alex is a good person, and undoubtedly one of the great players we have in EVE. The Mittani is a fascinating villain character that will be remembered for a very long time.
Even if we disagree that CCP has made the right call, they have made it. Let's stop exchanging angers towards other players and the developers.
LetGÇÖs instead learn from this mistake, and suggest things that will make the Alliance Panel better next time
This is a wake-up call for all of us. With the average playerGÇÖs age of 27-28 years old, we are quite a mature group of adults. Let's show that, as EVE players, while we are fun, we are also a respectable gaming community.

It's unfortunate, but I can see why CCP is taking this stance. And I can't blame them. The fact is that if they wish to be succesful they will have to bow to certain social standards and pressures. It sucks but in the end, they are a company and they want to make money. It's especially sad because I was recently telling my friend (Who plays WoW) how awesome EVE fanfest was. "Dude, they have a drinking game quiz and pub crawls. I don't see blizzcon doing that." It is my sincere hope that CCP tempers their reaction and doesn't go overboard. I understand that after the crapstorm Mittani's actions brought about they pretty much have to do something from a PR standpoint. But please, try to limit it to age checks on the streams, a few disclaimers, and a 30 second delay for 'bleeping out' extreme comments.
Basically, a goon decided to be a complete arse and ruin things for everyone else. Again.
And when I say goon here I mean the pitiful pricks that are so desperate for attention they'd rather have everyone hate them than be unknown. The kind of people that can't develop a meaningful identity in real life so they have to resort to identifying themselves as 'trolls', who 'drink pubbie tears' so that they can feel special and part of a community, even if that community is shunned, resented, and hated. Not necessarily every person affiliated with SA or goonswarm. The worst of the worst tend to ruin things for everyone. |

I don't like that a popularly elected chairman was cast down for a bad joke while he was drunk to appease outside media interests, and a hypocritical vocal minority of people who never liked goons in the first place.
but.....
It is just a 30 day ban, so not the end of the world for him as a part of eve. The mittani, will still be the mittani. Possibly he could run for CSM again, assuming he would want to, judging from his resignation as the chair might not be the case, and is content to primarily running a alliance and collation.
Game goes on, what happened, happened.

I'm not asking this question to troll, I'm asking this question because I am genuinely interested in an honest answer.
Goons, tell me honestly. If this had happened to someone who wasn't Mittani - someone who wasn't a Goon at all, in fact - would any of you care as much as you do? Andreus Anthony LeHane Ixiris CEO, Mixed Metaphor

So let me get this right. A bunch of you are outraged and unstably pissed because a dude was a complete d-bag and crossed a line so he got his hand slapped? Sandbox game doesn't discount all basic rules of treating other human beings with some measure of civilized behavior. How immature and socially stunted are you? |

Mittens had my vote. he screwed up, and resigned. my vote is now null, im somewhat annoyed by this, however i will remedy this by not voting for him next year
I respect CCP's right to protect its brand from the more... unkind elements of the sandbox. I sincerely hope that the extent of this rumoured censorship applies only to the you-tube and streamed elements of the game and that fanfest will remain the unrestricted hive of debauchery and excess we all know an love.

+1. This was an accident just waiting to happen. Give a sociopath a microphone and an audience and hope that the offence he creates isn't serious enough to stick to the company? And when he oversteps the line, act all surprised?? I think the only reason the victim's real name wasn't used is that they didn't know it. You don't get to encourage this sort of nonsense 364 days of a year then pass off responsibility when it suits you, CCP.

From Navigator's post:
"Traditionally, the Alliance Panel is an unfiltered forum for EVE Online alliance leaders to give presentations of their choosing. Historically, some panelists have chosen to use adult language and content during the panel, and the 2012 version was no different."
This points to the crux of the problem nicely. The use of the "f" words and similar words is NOT Adult Language. It is sophomoric, juvenile, or infantile language. Please stop calling it "Adult". It belongs in junior high bathrooms, if that. |
