CCP should not play favorites unless they're ready to erect monuments for every other deceased EVE player. "Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must undergo the fatigues of supporting it." - Thomas Paine |

That may be all well and good for nullsec players and members of outside forum communities, but such admiration is hardly universal, and should not be treated as such. "Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must undergo the fatigues of supporting it." - Thomas Paine |

He was just another goon to me, as I suspect he was to thousands of other members of this community. "Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must undergo the fatigues of supporting it." - Thomas Paine |

You're the ones wanting to erect in game monuments to the guy. Hell why don't you start a church while you're at it, seems like some folks worship the guy as it is. "Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must undergo the fatigues of supporting it." - Thomas Paine |

Shogun Archer wrote:The whole "If everyone doesn't get a monument, then one person shouldn't" crap is the same mentality of every kid getting a trophy for participating in soccer even if they got slaughtered every game of the season. Or maybe, folks should stop trying to deify the guy like he's Princess Diana and JFK all rolled into one.

Too-Boku wrote:Mr. Oliver I'm curious why this is such a personal issue for you? You've posted in every single thread that has to do with Sean Smith and it's been something negative. I've offered my condolences with due respect to Sean Smith in the threads that dealt with the man, here I haved expressed my opinion about deifying "Vile Rat".
And now that I have done so I have no further reason to post on this matter. "Those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must undergo the fatigues of supporting it." - Thomas Paine |

I love how the news articles keep calling EVE corporations "guilds".

Heh wouldn't it be something though if it were just a troll, I could see the headlines now, "Video game guild trolls the entire planet", that would be epic. Seriously though, attempting to create conspiracy theories where their are none is pretty lame, please stop.

Who are they? So we can recognize and honor them? They had nothing to do with this game and I don't feel it would be appropriate to give their names, suffice to say Sean (may he rest in peace) wasn't the first agent/statesman to die in the line of duty and unfortunately I doubt he will be the last.

Trendon Evenstar wrote:Well we are talking about someone who had a great deal to do with this game as a veteran player and CSM member. Yes and how many other veteran players of this game do you think have died over the years, did any of them get this much publicity?
Also no offense Ghazu but I don't think you're in any position to tell me what to do, as long as my posts do not violate forum rules I will continue to post to my heart's content.

Perhaps it's ridiculous in your eyes, yet reading these forums it seems like I've said nothing others have not said in some form or another as well. Hell maybe I just have an allergy towards elitism developed due to some real life experience, either way I think it would be appropriate to drop this and let this topic be about what it's supposed to.
