Dear Delilah,
You're beyond starting to annoy me with your idioicity and pompous naivete. You're now on my **** list.
Leil
Isn't this typical. Run out of good arguments and resort to threats.
Come on down to Metropolis. You can find me around here.
But make sure to bring your friends. You strike me as the kind of person who needs to.

Choose your fate (in-game), Delilah...
Option A
Option B
Personally, I'd choose B.

You would think someone who actually works for a gaming company would have a bit more understanding of NDA's
Sure there are allot of issues to fix with eve, but I think we should be thankful we have any say at all. I've been playing eve for several years now, and following it from the beginning. CCP has made mistakes, but no more than any other gaming company. I for one would much rather give my money to a company that actually cares about their game, as opposed to a company say, like blizzard, who just fires their devs when they disagree with their ideas. A company produces fast food games for the masses without ever stopping to think about what their players want.
To be honest she should be booted, simply for her opinions of other players play styles. None of the other CSM delegates seem to be insulting other players play styles, and calling for their removal from the game, or worse calling them outright psychopaths.
Finally and most important, this person is supposed to be representing "US" in a professional and courteous manner. Not throwing objects at other players, and yelling at developers. This kinds of childish behavior has no place in the CSM, and clearly demonstrates her lack of qualifications.
Breaching the NDA is really just the straw that broke the camels back, I SAY Good riddance !!

I cannot understand how people think breaching a NDA isn't a good reason to kick someone off. If they can't trust her to keep things secret, how can they tell her more about the future of the game? Will she be excluded from the conference room while everyone else gets to listen in?

Most people, like myself, are just curious why a democraticly elected member of the CSM was removed so completely out of the blue, since the electors (at least parts thereoff) wanted her to be in that position. An NDA-violation on the other hand, is a rather vague concept, that basically covers everything between stealing and selling data from a CCP-Dev-Puter, over making screenshots of the newest remodelled ships, down to accidently stepping on a post-it, that lay on the floor and ended up sticking on her shoe, with the note: "Must get new coffee-mug!!!11eleven - CCP Hilmar".
End of the line is people want to get some more specific info on the breach, rather then a "because we say so", be it out of curiousity, actually valid interest or finding another reason to gloat about the hated enemy.

I agree that its not very satisfying, but it's everything they technically *have* to tell us. Everything beyond that is goodwill from their side, and CCP doesn't exactly have a good rep on that account á
I think CSM is a pretty cool guy. eh creates e-drama and doesnt afraid of anything. |

I'm not going to dispute the validality of CCP's decision, because, quite honestly, the current situation hints at an actual and severe breach and as such, I accept the decision. However it doesn't mean I and everyone else needs to be satisfied with the "as is", especially since reality tought us all one thing: Never trust any authority further then you can throw them ;)

Hmmm.
Maybe it wasn't Colonel Mustard in the Study with the Revolver (replace Colonel Mustard with Eva Jobse, Study with Studio and Revolver with a hilariously large & stuffed sack with PROPRIETARY SECRETS stenciled on it) but CCP is actually trolling us (with help from Ankhesencopypasta) while CCP busily reduce the overabundance of clicking necessary in Planetary Interaction - without having to feel obligated to answer any questions meanwhile!
...
Well, at least I can hope

A breach of a NDA can get you 3 months to 5 years jail time in Germany if the breach is severe enough. This does not include the damages caused by the breach for the NDA issuer.
A indiscretion is one thing, industrial espionage something of an entirely different magnitude, all covered by a NDA. As long as we don't know how big the breach was, we can't really argue if the removal was appropriate or not. -------- All I want is a better mankind.

Maybe they'll have the Icelandic Mafia work her over.
Maybe they already have, but it went too far.
Maybe any day now someone will open a can of fermented shark and find ... biomass they weren't expecting to find.
Maybe this will serve as a warning to others.

How does it hint a a serious breach if we know jack **** about what happened, or did I miss something?

The fact we know jack **** is because nobody has told us, nobody has told us because the breach is serious.

By counting one and one together: Do you rally think, out of all the people in the game, that exactly Ankh would stay as quite as she does, if she didn't do something that is obviously wrong, regardless if she realized the breach at first or not? Not even her blog yields any news at all and that's quite telling, unless she got abducted, tied up, gagged and sits in CCP Hilmar's cellar.
Beyond that, her occupational survival basically depends on if she did break the NDA or not and while I think a lot of nasty things about CCP in general, I do not count legal-suicide to their feat-list.

The threat of legal action would cause anyone to be careful on what they say. Let's say I broke a NDA by accidently posting a screenshot of some new thingy in a game on my blog. Stuff like that happens all the time but can hardly be called 'serious' or damaging.
And let's asume I get sacked for it. Ppl often get sacked for minor stuff just because it's company policy or cuz management are arses.
So, you got sacked for a minor incident, would you then go shouting what happened to you knowing that the company could STILL start a law suit against you or would you be smart and just let it go, since you know you will never beat the company in court?
I would do the latter and I think 99% of all ppl would.
Eva herself stated she did not agree with the fact that there even WAS a breaching of NDA. That is not the kind of statement you would make if you stole the complete list of features in the next expansion and sold it to a competitor.
So I would say that when you put one and one together, it actually points to a minor breach rather than anything serious.

Sounds reasonable.
. . .
It could of course be linked to some of the old FW issues: Ankh learnt about some of the exploits (not classed by CCP as exploits) and screamed from the roof tops about them, CCP did nothing..so she made the (non)exploits widely known and encouraged everyone to abuse them to hell and back in the hope CCP would do something...so this could all be down to petty vengeance for making them do some work

Could be, but like you said, it's all speculation. And I doubt we'll ever hear more about it. :P

Well, first there's a bit of a difference between someone in a beta posting a screen shot of a game before it releases and real and serious breaches of NDA. What game development company is going to hire a game designer that broke an NDA for another game company? What company *as a rule* will someone that's well known for breaking an NDA? Right now, CCP is all but terminated her career in the game industry - and if they did this maliciously or For Teh Lulz or for player politics or because she blogged things that everyone else blogged or whatever the hell tinfoil hat reason you're coming up with... they're going on the hook for some pretty tremendous legal fees and damages.
No, what we can say is that Eva Jobse (a very noisy individual!) and CCP are both sitting tight and shutting the **** up. This is a strong hint that they both have legal advice (and reason) to do so. She may have posted "I don't agree" but I think that hardly matters considering her resounding silence since.

FWIW, I agree with Liang's analysis, but not the strength of his convictions.
Put a gun to my head and say: Who's right, CCP or Eva? I choose CCP.
But I'm not totally sold, since she has denied it and we know little other than accusation vs. denial.
Only time will tell. Hopefully if there is a defense, people won't be so jaded based on prejudices, speculation and internet-hype-mongering that they will be able to consider the facts with an open mind.

Things wouldn't be so speculatory if Eva had not fallen off the face of the universe.
Is anyone willing to place a bet that Ankh got hit by a bus or something after the NDA breach?
Just kidding, I doubt that happened. But what's actually happened to her since her removal is of much interest and mystery...

Most likely answer...
-Like Lark, her main and her alts were all banned (this is why we haven't seen some of the obvious alts who were posting constantly during Ank's campaign) -Also, Ank realizes that right now that "Eva Jobse" may soon be a google search that yields up the Massively article (or similar ones about the alleged NDA violation) as one of the very first answers, and she's determined to save her career prospects by suing CCP. If that's the case she'd have to be crazy(er) to blab on the 'net rather than keeping it quiet and forcing CCP to gather information via Discovery. |

We want to know how it was all done so that we can get rid of the rest of the CSM by the same method.
Someone out there (who is not currently in the CSM as they know but for obvious reasons won't tell ) must know what the secret is!!
Maybe it was her membership with a certain political party in her home country that advocates a method of software distribution that is anathema to CCP and other development houses. This was, I suspect, the main reason for it - which begs the question - if we send the other CSM members application forms for that group, will they all be booted? Or maybe we just sign them up anyway .

I'm going to stop you right there to point out that I've already seen at least one huffy post (here or on Massively) from someone who claimed to be in the UK branch of the Piratpartiet, who apparently stated that Eva Jobse was pretty much on her own and that they didn't support whatever she'd done to breach the NDA - that they support copyright, they just want to make the copyright system fairer for consumers.
I'm jumping on you, because I doubt CCP would appreciate any sort of rumor that they canned her for RL political reasons - that sort of thing is anathema to almost everyone.

IÆm surprised CCP published any reason for Eva JobseÆs removal from the CSM. CCP are more than likely not obliged to. I would have expected to have seen ôEva has decided to leave her position on the CSM due to commitment issuesö.

I feel a degree of sympathy for Eva. I can see the effort and passion she felt for the ôgame.ö But that is as far as it goes. This little event isnÆt a Russian Tragedy worthy of lamenting the cross over. Whatever the facts, they are beyond us and buried in red tape we can't cut. So, even I can see that there is only one important and practical question left in the spirit of Eve.
Her stuff, can I haz?

Good point. I have to say that if it was unfounded, wouldn't we see her making alot of noise about it? Seems strange that she is so quiet about the hole thing. Her blog on take care said she would post something tomorrow, wasn't that a day or two ago? And still nothing.
