Actually themittani.com is the next expansion of Goon metagaming.

Themittani.com can be lined up in a list that features Xinhua and Prawda. All news agencies of totalitarian systems.
You can find good and decent news on Xinhua as you can find on themittani.com. But keep in mind that they are propaganda plattforms in first place.

Some Bloggers even stopped their own services to write/work exclusively for themittani.com. Source of prove
Your articles are the wrap for Goon propaganda, half-truth stories, plain lies. Metagame.

Even worse you grant the site and Goon articles credibility with your work. Don't fool yourself. You are nothing but mules to them.

The Goons play the metagame well with themittani.com. Spreading their influence and control into areas that weren't effected before. Seeding their weird thoughts into the minds of the unwary reader.

Everything the Goons do is for their entertainment (lolz). Most of that is gathered from the much larger player base that isn't Goon. Themittani.com is in no way different.

Don't read there!
Don't work for them!

Mr. Muvila, i don't suspect you to be any alternative character of the notorious TheMittani. But when i look at your colors. Yes sir, you are part of the conspiracy since you belong to the Goons and everything they stand for. So does themittani.com which is part of the metagame of the Goons and SA to accomplish their objectives within EVE and all the other games that feature articles on that site.

Thank you for proving my point about the former independent writers and other personal who fell for propaganda trick, that the site wouldn't be part of the metagame. But it is.
As i pointed out: They are the veil to delude the unwary. Themittani.com is some kind of smart psy-ops of the Goons. Pure metagame!

I don't criticize you, your work building that website or running it.

It is the intent of the side combined with the name theMittani and the developer being a Goon which provides the affair a fishy smell.

For what stands theMittani?
Metagaming, espionage, deception, scams, providing entertainment for Goons & Something Awful forums and accumulation of wealth for Goons by exploiting game mechanics and market manipulations (OTEC, ice, ...). Indeed theMittani has become a brand but it only sounds well for Goons and their pets.

So what do we have to expect of a website called themittani.com?

The very same!

Manipulation, deception, metagaming and lolz for Goons & Something Awful community.


Sorry, but I have to quote myself.

Seems you might not fully grasp about what i was talking. There was no need to read about. It's not the character TheMittani, he might had some success and influence in the past but right now he's some kind of figurehead or brand as you put it. It's the thing he became the brand for. That's the thing that leaves the bad taste.

I think it's time for a recap since the Goons left the field to find some valid evidence.

Let's beginn with some facts:

1. The origin of the Goons is the Something Awful community (SA).
2. The top priority is entertainment for the Goons, which they generate from anyone who isnGÇÖt Goon.
3. Some Goons are good in metagaming.
4. A notorious figurehead of the Goons had to step down from CSM7 after some strange statement at Fanfest 2012 which violated the EULA.
5. The Goons founded a news website earlier in 2012. ItGÇÖs called themittani.com. Awesome name isnGÇÖt it? Well they tell us they took it, because it is something like a brand and has a lot of history. Well at least a strong history of metagaming, if you ask me. But can someone else combine anything good with the name TheMittani or Goons besides Goons, Test and their pets? Ok they destroyed BoB, but they turned into BoB reloaded ever since.
6. They have recruited a ton of staff for themittani.com and try to become a main source of news about EVE.

So much about the facts.

With no representation at CSM7 Goons needed some other tool to influence the masses. What is better than the media to influence them?

SA has a vast pool of human resources. Vile Rat (rest in peace) was one example for it, employed by the US State Department. TheMittani himself is a lawyer. IGÇÖm sure there are some media professionals in SA too. So we have the critical mass to plan and execute a well-planned media offensive to gain/maintain influence.

The site was in bad need of freelancer writers and staff. CanGÇÖt tell how they convinced the guys but they got them. So they got some viable and some less viable sources to generate a steady flow of articles.
Somewhere between that is the one or the other article of the Goons. Et voil+á metagaming, half-truths, lies and propaganda of the Goons well surrounded by independent stuff.

Those Freelancers provided them with a nice cover and veil.

If you ask me themittani.com is something like Xinhua or Pravda.
If you ask the Goons all of the above is a conspiracy theory.

There are a lot of conspiracy theories around, which can be proved to be wrong. NASA and independent sources are able to deliver a ton of proves that humans were on the moon. The 9/11 commission delivered tons of proves that it was a terrorist attack.

What presented the Goons so far about their news site? A handful of Freelancers, who were convinced to work for them and a self-written statement about TheMittani being a brand these days.

Don't read there!
Don't work for them!

TheMittani is no brand outside of EVE and maybe SA(, yet).

You struggle to establish it within the game media scene.

Thank you for providing this information.

mittani: very intelligent guy. clear, focused articles with overarching themes.

his contributing writers: SA forum lurkers moonlighting as EVE players moonlighting as writers. if anyone is editing those articles, they must be saying, "... ****-it, just publish."

thanks. I would never make it a goal to **** off the beehive, or at least I don't know why I would, and I swear it wasn't a troll comment.

I understand deadlines, and I also know what a paper looks like after a hasty edit. it's the smaller things like grammar and spelling errors that raise questions in my mind; I'm not counting the higher-level deficiencies. (such as clarity of thought, flow, active vs passive voice, and main themes in an article).

I remember the public announcement of openings for contributing writers. after half the articles made me wonder how so many errors got through an editor, (errors that are quickly caught by a fresh pair of eyes) I figured:

the average goon writing for mittani, and no editor.
