Earlier I named the wrong GM, that was an honest mistake of faulty memory on my part. I've removed the incorrect name from my original post and apologies unreservedly to the wrongly implicated GM.

Well see, legally I'd imagine that issues such as this are private. the IA Dept may not even be able to acknowledge that there is an investigation going on. |

CCP Sreegs wrote:Our employees and their careers are not part of your forum game and are off limits. That's the point. It's one thing to make a post like "JESUS GOONS ARE ALL DEVS". That's a terrible post but within the limits. "CCP Sreegs is running an RMT operation on the side and also runs a meth lab" is not. Does that make sense? It's not even a matter of what I do or don't like it's a matter of our employees right to not have our forum used to damage their individual and very real personal reputations or standing in their respective communities. Neither your employees nor your careers are in any danger. Talk about overblown. IA is there for that, right? Aren't they taking care of things? Can't we rely on them to find and root out all wrongdoing? If IA says its all good, then everyone else is just running their mouth, right? Further, these aren't accusations against real people... unless your name is really CCP Sreegs. Sreegs is an EVE character too, you know.
Frankly, as an ex (?) goon, I'd think you would have some better perspective on this. You don't think for one moment that anything you say will satisfy anyone making the accusations, do you? So why bother? If you're content to feed the trolls, you deserve what you get.
Here's what should have been said: "CCP [guy in charge of these things]-- We take potential cheating seriously. Cheating, by CCP employees or players, is unacceptable. Whenever we find a cheater, we take immediate steps to remove that person from the game or company and fix any problems they may have caused. If you have specific accusations, proof of any kind, or questions about activities that might potentially be cheating, please file a petition and include [relevant specifics]. CCP does not respond to vague accusations, conspiracy theories, or unsubtantiated statements about player or employee misconduct. All petitions will be reviewed carefully and, when appropriate, actions taken. Posts that make unsubstantiated accusations about CCP employees or other players will be removed and added to an Internal Affairs petition for further review."

From a personal standpoint, I really don't care if Goon(dot), BOB(dot) or anyone else out there has CCP in their leadership. It is there game and it really does not effect my game in the slightest...
But what kind of frosts my hiney... is the incessant insistence that they are NOT there at all (even after certain historical events demonstrated that CCP employes had, once, in the past, effected the game directly with their dev powers) They most certainly are there, they have always been there and they have always been tied to the biggest and baddest alliances of the time. That is not to say that devs made said alliances great, it is only to say that they were attracted to that arena for reasons only known to them. The presence of a dev does not instantly infer misconduct as the forum trolls would have you believe.
& ATM, the biggest and most influential alliance in the game is basically goon(dot).
...
So to say "We dev's are not giving players an unfair advantage, and we are not allowed to talk about our presence in game"
is one thing...
But to flat out deny that there are any DEV's in leadership roles throughout eve online (FC roles, manufacturing roles or whatever roles) inside of major player run null sec alliances like goon(dot) and friends is complete and utter bunk. You should not be able to talk about it at all, and that means that you should not be able to confirm or deny it in any way shape or form.
The only valid answer that you should be able to give us is this "Yes there could be dev's in said role. It is possible and not against the EULA... but we are not allowed to discuss it and I cannot confirm or deny whether or not their are at present. ".
...
The potential is there and the possibility is there, but more pressing is the history of EVE Online which shows us that the likely hood of there being devs in said roles is greater then them not being there. This does not mean that misconduct is the inevitable outcome, but on the flip side to that people are only human at the end of the day. So yes, they are there. Yes, we know that they are there, and YES it is OK THAT THEY ARE THERE.
Just don't try and tell us that they can't/won't/will never be there, because that is just blah blah.

I guess the question that would be nice for someone to answer is:
Are there any CCP employees that play the game that are NOT involved or associated with GOONS and if so, are they in a High-Sec only corp? Would they publicly admit or endorse that player corporation? Is there anyone within CCP who is anti-goon?
I'd have to say that most likely the answer to this is a big NO. Otherwise, you would have heard about it by now. I've never heard of a single accusation that DEVS are involved with any other corps or alliances other than the BOB stories from years ago.
Certainly there are other large alliances that are enemies of GOONS that could make for some great gameplay for the devs if they chose to fight against them. But that wouldn't happen because of the "watch the world burn" mentality that the GOONS have and I'm sure if the shoe was on the other foot, that they would protest the GM/DEV's involvement against them, and would might even try to pull a "everyone in the alliance threat to quit" card to get their way.
So really that's the lingering question. Why do the DEVs choose to get involved with GOONs rather than GOON enemies? And if there are, where are they? Why are they hiding in the shadows in regards to that but not the other way around?
Would a CCP Dev ever help a large alliance fight GOONs toward their final days?
Anyways, food for thought I guess. |

Just because some people over play things, doesn't mean that the concerns of the more reasonable players are groundless. Two recent examples that have certainly raised a few eye brows are Soundwave tendency to lock threads critical of Goons and the seemingly priority petition queue enjoyed by the Goons. My petitions always seem to take days or weeks to be answered I've certainly never had a petition answered in hours never mind minutes. When allegations are made in most free western countries, the police (authorities) investigate and if necessary collect the evidence, not expect the public to do it. Internal Affairs needs to be more pro-active and seen to be so. However I don't believe that means the Dev should automatically loose their job, but lesser punishments for lesser transgression would make this less of all or nothing scenario. e.g. lose the Character in the alliance is appropriate for creating a conflict of interest by seeming to favour that alliance. Nobody said IA doesn't collect evidence.
Dont know anything about that, what I do know is the track record to ban ppl that bring employee wrongdoings to light that you cant say their names on the forums 6 years later

This has a lot of tinfoil in it.
However if you watch any of the interviews of CCP members or Fanfest videos, you would see that A LOT if not the majority of CCP employees are actually high-sec dwellers. Who usually do casual mining or missions. Also to rebuttal your other argument, there is no definitive evidence nor has any CCP member even admit to being in Goons. The reason Sreegs and Soundwave are considered was because they USE to be members before joining CCP. Sreegs for example I believe quit Eve/Goons for while before getting hired on, pretty much after he forgot to pay alliance bills.
For all we know those who people claim to be members of Goons cut their ties long ago, or don't even play Eve seriously enough to be bothered with ingame politics. Either way we will never really know since CCP generally keeps their personal characters relationships private and for a good reason it seems.

Nice save http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KF6SNxNIV08 I guess my expectations for Goons to have a thicker skin were unfounded too. I was joking at HIS expense not yours -.- Do you know how much trouble I went to to find that youtube video. Literally 30 seconds of my life went into that so you had better appreciate it.
Damnit I hate it when Goons post things that make it look like theres a human behind that bee -.-

I know, I know, they filed more than one petition and that NEVER EVER has that happened in a massive PvP game. NEVER EVER. So having more than one petition is such a monumental event that it had to be responded to more than 100x faster than normal. Needless to say, no information, nor the name of, the GM answering the petition will be released. So you can conceal evidence all you want, but it doesn't make you look innocent. Quite the opposite. And to be clear I strongly suspect that GM is a Goon friend and rendered the decision he did because he was a friend of the Goon. Discussion of this case and the evidence presented is all over this forum.
15? nooo 5 minutes!
I start all my petitions with the frase: Im a goon and The Mitanni orders that this petition be processed now!
in less than 5 minutes I always get an answer:
"dear goon overload, please tell the mitanni to not get mad with my delay, I have a family and I need this job. About your lost ibis when gangink a JF in Jita, we will return the ibis plus a complementary Dramiel to your hanger and the JF pilot that dared not to die will be banned for 15 days as requested." |

Well, he didn't say ban. Removing the more vicious unsubstansiated accusations would be appropriate. As to the latter, you have a point. even that though, from the more tinfoily will enflame their opinion that theyre right CAUSE their post got snipped I'm afraid that when it comes to reality those opinions really aren't relevant to either current legal practice or our obligations to our employees. Having an opinion isn't carte blanche to character assassinate no matter how much you like your spaceships.
