I see that CNN picked up Sean's story, and Alex's comments.
Good for Eve? Or bad? I would think we'll see a new player bump soon, with all this free publicity, but what will the mainstream think when they try the game out, and find out it's populated with the dregs of the universe? Lying, cheating, hating, infantile behavior, racism, scamming, killing new players as a sport... This is the EVE that many people see when they first join the game. Unfortunatly some of these very issues contributed to Sean's death in real life.
Let's face it, the average person will be horrified at the extremes at which people will go to, to grief in this game....good legacy for Sean?
My apoligies to Chribba and the other quality people in this game, but lets face it, you are spitting in a snowstorm....
Flame away, it will simply reinforce my opinion of most of you........

Boat isn't a goon. He flies under us but he's technically from the Penny Arcade forums. Take it up with Gabe and Tycho. |

Internet Hunger Games, everyone loved Hunger Games and those of us that didn't used it to get laid.... they always put out (if you're good looking) if you take them to see a chick flick  "A genius throws a Molotov cocktail and soon realizes that he's going to die choking in a maze of smoke and flame. A hero drinks a Molotov cocktail and soon realizes that if he does a split in midair, he can hit twice as many zombies per kick. Drunk hero wins again, wusses." ~Cracked.com |

I laughed so f'n hard that my neighbors looked out the window to see what was happening. Thats good ****,right there man. On another note, however as depraved as most people are in this game I've actually been quite impresses by the sense of community in Eve. Just this morning in the rvb chat a total stranger volunteered to mail computer parts from Brooklyn to London so a fellow gamer could upgrade his rig. When the limey offered to pay for the shipping the yank refused to accept. This is just one small example of the comradery that I have witnessed in my shprt...I think 3 months in the game. This strong sense of community and willingness (among most) to take noobs under their wings is what has prompted me (and,not even that bog of a gamer) to stay in Eve. Its a harsh and unforgiving universe that we survive by banding together and lifting each other through the rank and vile of thievery and war.
Tl;dr: Even though Eve is full of asshats the strong sense of community brings us closer than any other mmo and many rl communitiea. |

The terrible truth is this tragedy will indeed bring more awareness to EVE and thus new players.
Lets be kind at this time, and welcome these new pilots, nurture thier love for the game show them how, vast and wonderfull EVE is, and at the point they are fully hooked on EVE, pod them. |

Good times. Thanks for refreshing a memory.

And I told you, that thing I did with my mouth, made up for it. So there was no reason to bring this up again. I will not be voting in the CSM election, so you need to go vote to make up for me. |

Because of a certain blog written by a certain person a man will now be remembered by the world not just for his diplomatic contributions to humanity, but also as a member of one of the most draconian MMOs ever created, who, as a member of one of the largest known troll communities on the internet, was crucial in shaping it to be that way.

Hey guys, don't tell anyone I've ever played Battlefield 3 they might think I'm a mass murderer.

Like it or not this game has a very negative reputation as being an mmo filled with generally nasty people, and someone who made great diplomatic contributions to humanity has now been linked to it in the international press as part of his final legacy.

Hey guys I played minecraft, hopefully the media doesn't learn I support cutting down the rain forest, as well an any other overly capitalistic building program that only serves to destroy the natural wildlife. I will not be voting in the CSM election, so you need to go vote to make up for me. |

lol nice try but the difference is when I tell fellow gamers at work I play Minecraft they smile and we talk about it, when I tell them I play EVE Online they look at me like I'm a sociopath.

Well then, in the interest of being accepted in polite society, might I suggest that you log off these forums now and go try Hello Kitty Online. |

I like to think those of us who stick around and enjoy this game are the above average people. Average ones can go play something else more suited to their boring casual mmo needs. |

Ever see Romney talk to other rich people or other CEOs? They are always smiling and having a good time. Then someone says they are poor or failed to do something, they look at him like he is a sociopath.
