Larkonis Trassler aka Adam Ridgway should have all of his accounts permanently ban. There is no question in my mind he deserves it for his actions. There is no do-over for breaking a non-disclosure agreement. Apology or not he is on the same level as T20. His accounts should be banned permanently, end of story. As I recall, T20 also apologized for what he did however it did not change his ban. Larkonis Trassler aka Adam Ridgway deserves a permanent ban from EVE-ONLINE.


I agree wholeheartedly with the quote below:

I posted this in the assembly hall, forum, but as this seems to be the "official" thread for these comments, I'll repeat myself.

1. All of Larkonis Trassler accounts should be permanently banned, the characters deleted from the system, and the resources associated with those characters expunged from the EVE universe. Because I'm in a good mood, I won't recommend disbanding any organization he is the CEO/executor of.

2. The current CSM needs to substantially and publically distance themselves from these actions, or risk removal from office. No one backpedals faster than a politician who might lose office because the guy "who bought me a drink" screwed the pooch.

3. Failure in step 2 should result in the disbanding of the current CSM due to a lack of confidence in their ability to actually keep to their real life agreements. Forget the damned ISK, the man violated a legal binding agreement to try and get ahead a little, and has been patentedly unremorseful about the whole thing; his "apology" is Socratic at best. The CSM can either be replaced from the current ranks of backups, or a special election could be held to replace them.

Unfortunately for the rest of us what Adam did will not end here - it will cause future concerns over the viability of the CSM process. There will now always be doubts that the members of the CSM are simply using that position to enrich themselves and their friends, though the ultimate act of meta gaming, unless the current CSM and CCP act to put a halt to those doubts.
