EVE is a sandbox, what you do has repercussions, you can't hide with name changes like in other MMOs. So, if you post on an anonymous alt, you're considered a coward. You have enemies? Good, that means you stood up for something, sometime in your life.

I've seen plenty of people getting kicked and kicked some myself for shitposting on their mains because it reflects badly on the entire alliance.
Standards. Heh.

Imagine that ... being anonymous on the internet, but still hiding ... or so the ppl on the forums cant rebuke the argument and take in into game, punishing the character/corp/alliance for what he said out of game (kinda sounds familiar really) In other words a player can shoot their mouth off and not have to face the consequences of their actions. Case in point: The quote in the OP was directed at an alt who is calling out pvp'rs and calling them losers, and yet he hides behind anonymity while doing so. Do you see the irony in such an action?
Micheal Dietrich:
This I can agree with. In fact IEEE has one standing order, "If you do or say something, be prepared to back it up". (too many quotes)
so you agree Mittani should be banned then? Great https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=255722#post255722

Right cause they cant go after you, or your corp or alliance and kill you for saying out of game things. So you are a coward

*forum alt reporting in*
I used to not hide behind a forum alt, but then I watched a friend get burned by his alliance because they didn't like what he said on the forums. (It was an honest opinion, in my honest opinion.)
I also don't like to draw anymore attention to my main than I have to.

People seem to be missing the primary purpose of NPC alts, it allows people to make an argument from authority despite not being an authority on any subject.
Example: NPC corp alt #20025 is arguing over null sec mechanics changes, he will inevitably claim to have been playing since 1984 and have over 9000 confirmed kills. Two sentences later he will demonstrate that he does not understand how bubbles work.
This is, sadly, not a rare occurrence. Calling for NPC corp alts to reveal their main in cases like these is not done to allow us the opportunity for in game reprisals, which quite simply are too much effort, it is done to get the idiots to shut the hell up and stop bad poasting.

Granted that may happen once in a while but usually the sole purpose of wanting to know the main character is so they can exact some type of revenge, thus thinking they have won some great battle. After their revenge is completed, they'll usually post the killmail here in the forums in a vain attempt to cause humiliation. Those actions are intended to berate, demean and ultimately silence that player.

What I find funny is when people discount a poster's opinion because they're an "0.0 mission alt". Surely then, the 0.0 player they're a mission alt of knows what goes down in 0.0? Being an alt doesn't mean you don't have access to the knowledge and experience of the main- you're still the same person IRL. Stealth OST puns and blatant lies since 2009 Jace Errata on Twitter

I like the bad posting argument. Its important to know the source. I'm constantly being fooled by children that are trying to sound like their parents and giving more credibility to people than they deserve. There really should be an account age with our characters so we know at least what kind of game maturity we are trying to communicate with. THe character Bazzar kinda fudges the age thing so you can't count on character age of the main
I enjoy eve once I find some real peers. Then it becomes sharing experiences instead of posturing.
Another bad part about alts is you don't really get to know anybody unless they are consistent with the character they are posting with. I can laugh like crazy if its a bad post from someone I like
I agree with the alliance thing. I really see no reason to disrupt others gameplay by being a spokesperson for your alliance. We have diplomats for that. why make their job harder? |

I, myself, like to be able to check the bone fides of posters, so when I see someting that looks outrageous, I can adjust for windage.

But in Eve, I am Esan Vartesa. In Eve, you can chase Esan down, gank him, wardec him, grief him, etc.
So while Esan protects the real person controlling him, all value and accomplishments in Eve are entirely invested in him. As such, there is risk in being a total ******.

Hi, I'm NPC-corp alt 274408. Yes, that is a pseudonym of a pseudonym.
In Eve, I'm not actually NPC-corp alt 274408. That character has never actually undocked, so you can't chase him down, gank him, wardec him, grief him, etc.
So while I protect some other character that in turn protects the real person controlling him, all investments and accomplishments in Eve are in no way invested in NPC-corp alt 274408. As such, there is no risk in being a total ******.

This is Eve. No risk without reward.
It's very American to refuse to have a discussion with someone you can't threaten with violence.
You know why they put the First Amendment in the Constitution?
Cause the semi-decent founders knew what kind of a*** the imported English Gentry were and how they never met a speech restriction they didn't like... except when insulting foreigners.
It took the English Gentry a few years.. like 9 or 12, I can't bother to look it up... to get Congress pass extreme anti-speech laws. Gross violations of the Constitution that they were. |

The other part is most of the time the sockpuppets are posting contentious or things against gameplay. Somebody using multiple sockpuppets can use it to make a situation more volatile. Is why I post as my main. When I say something in forums, people know where I am coming from, and also should people want to debate, I can say take it to me in game. |

Yes, yes, grunt and grunt and snarl. Followed by proudly marching off the stage since you can't actually threaten me effectively.
And now propaganda is conspiracy. I mean really. You guys are just so annoying. Yes, American government engages in non-stop propaganda by intimidation. Obviously. I mean really.
And looking at the Mittani threads it's rather obvious this trait has been noticed by American Goons and copied.
The Mittani can't shut up about how all hit critics need to line up to be harassed out of the game. Cause if they were REAL MEN they'd let him harass them into silence.

And he was banned. But that was between him and CCP. I wasn't at fanfest, I'm not affiliated with either party in question, and to my knowledge I stayed out of every Mittani thread. But in accordance to my beliefs, he did use his main, hell he used his mains main, and he faced the repercussions of his actions. You can say that I agree with the process of action and reaction, which from what I can tell is still in effect even as we speak. But unless I am hired by any parties I remain neutral. |
