Yup it was banned in favor of the Monoclegeddon.
I have a list of 12 monocle wearers who I've confirmed owned them, not just some people who say they own it but people who actively wear them. And I am willing to sell them to you for a price, which will get you ahead of the game on this event.

Edited by: Titas Agor on 28/06/2011 05:35:22 lol.. it wouldn't suprise me if it gets that bad actually, im just really suprised they've banned it, i dont understand why, its pvp, and its a special event to just spice things up a bit, if your a dummy flying a mining ship at that time then it was your own fault as there is notice on the event absolutely everywhere
edit: no no dont need any of that crap, i was just curious if it was actually banned, or just saying that to kill monocle owners instead Please re-size your signature to the maximum allowed of 400 x 120 pixels. Zymurgist |

Hulkageddon is absolutety NOT Banned. Somebody mention it's organiser was banned in a (deliberately?) badly worded sentence, and the pitchforks and chinese whispers sprang into life the way they do about absolutely everything at the moment.
And the ban was for "die, fire, too good for you" etc... in association with a dev's real name.

With an excuse.
You may see tons of people saying each other to DIAF or GTFO 100000 times on the forum with no harm.
Now, tell the same someone to DIAF when the someone is in a position of power and when the same someone has all to gain at removing you. Suddenly, the EULA is enforced and permanently so.

The ban had more to do with residual butthurt from Helicity leaking the newsletter I'm sure.

If I said hypothetically to my corp directors, "Guys we should move from Period Basis to Syndicate (lol), but don't tell the membership because they will burn us at the stake" And a corpie found out and said, "Cancel Align NOW, burning on a stake is too good for you" That would be considered a death threat by CCP.

Quite frankly people are waaaay too aggressive, arrogant and flat out rude just because they hide behind the anonymity of the interwebz. It's not hard to be even mildly polite. Moar permabans pls.
Seriously though - if you think this is an acceptable way to converse with a complete stranger, then you may want to reset your opinion of 'acceptable'. I believe the term is 'normalisation of deviance'. It isn't acceptable. Not even close. And let's not try to debate whether it was a 'real life threat' or not. It's just plain wrong.

Can we all agree it is not what you know but who you know. I think this applies to the fact that, it is not what you say, but who you say it to? You don't trash talk in actively monitored channels. And you don't **** off the mods... Least we all need reminded of the old counter strike server days.
I have been playing MMO's since EQ was big. And have yet to ever have my account suspended or banned for breaking a eula or trash talking. Watch what you say, or at least who you say it to.
P.S. I have no sympathy for stupidity.

Because it's not the conversation replying to the ban that got him banned, is it...
For the record I wholeheartedly support Hulkageddon, Monoclegeddon, all-pilot-names-that-start-with-x-ageddon and every single sandbox "wtf" moment in EVE, but no matter how much you put in to the game at the end of the day there is a line, he crossed it, he got banned.

If you ask me he did everyone (including CCP) a favor. The community/CCP relationship has taken a serious dip since around the period of Apocrypha. Remember when we used to let them toot their own horn without heckling them (too badly)? It's past time for a come to Jesus meeting.

I see nothing permaban worthy in what happened and you have to strech the initial statement to a ridiculous degree to get it to be even ban worthy. Seems like a case of CCP wanting to ban him and doing it by bending the normal interpretation of the rules to get an excuse to do it.

Hulkageddon was a great idea, even the second one. Then it became a yawn. I lurked the HG channel and Helicity was holding court with some of the thickest, most ignorant players in eve. Pure pvpers having trouble catching miners because they knew nothing about mining, or scanning, or hisec mechanics, or people like me lurking their channel and warning their targets. lol.
Helicity Boson basically got in a petition spat with ccp and said words to the effect of "I have the player's ears and i will come down on you like a ton of bricks unless-" BANNED.
Simple really, don't bother flexing your muscle in an environment you don't own, or share. ccp own eve, forget that and look real stupid.

There's a difference between my EVE character telling your EVE character to 'die in a fire' (for one thing, your EVE character has medical clones and will just respawn in a medbay!), and me as a real-life human being telling you as a real-life human being that I wish horrific real-life death on you.
To the Helicity apologists in this thread, if you had a dispute with the operator of your mobile phone contract or your ISP, and whilst communicating with their representatives you told them that you hoped they died in a fire, would you be at all surprised if they cancelled their services to you because of your abusive manner and told you to take your business elsewhere? Why should the service that CCP provide be any different?

Actually, having the self restraint to engage in a mature debate on something says a lot more about a person than being childish because someone can't punch you for being a ****. Most of the comments that get flung around on these forums wouldn't get said if people were face to face.
I have no idea what actually happened with Helicity though, I wasn't there, didn't get to read any of it....it's kind of a shame Helicity got banned, he was fun  - [SERVICE] Corp Standings For POS anchoring |

Nah when some of the devs in CCP grow up and dont act like school children..
Whats this really "I ban you, because you cursed me and I CAN ban you", wouldnt it be better that the person in question calms down gets ashamed of his anger and apologizes, but no "I R POWER" attitude 4TW.
Looking back to those days I see devs only harming the already battered reputation of CCP, with their smartarse answers and snobish attitudes.

Discussing bans on the forums is prohibited, but before this thread gets locked I just want to say something.
When it comes right down to it, these are CCPs forums, monitored and policed by CCP. It is no surprise, then, that when people are hostile towards CCP, that CCP will be more likely to react negatively to such hostility.
This has real life analogues: I can make a real life threat against a random person, and the police won't care so long as they don't have reason to believe that I will actually do something. Yet if I make the same real life threat to the President of the United States of America, an FBI investigation ensues and I get thrown in jail for threatening the President. An extreme example, I know. But it goes to show that people in power will be quick to enforce the rules, when the rules being broken directly impact the people in power. It doesn't matter of the people in power are CCP, a government, the police, a criminal gang/mafia, or your place of employment.
Is it fair? Of course not. But life isn't fair, and humans aren't perfect. IMO, a permaban was far too punishing. A temporary ban would have shown more class and indicated that CCP understands that people say stupid things when they are angry. But CCP is only human (kind of), so whatever.
If people want to discuss EVE Online on a forum which isn't censored or policed by CCP, then there are other third party forums in existence for exactly that purpose. Of course, these same third parties may be prone to the same weaknesses as CCP (I haven't posted on them, so I can't say one way or the other). So you would do well to think before you post, no matter where it is that you post. ----------

Geez CCP... that deserves a 7-14 day forum gag, not a ban.
So much for freedom of the players, it looks like this was a way for CCP to get rid of someone playing the game in a way they didn't like.
No. Not EvEn close. Its against the TOS to even say someones real name on the forum, let alone threaten them.

In my experience on the other side of gaming forum moderation, it takes a LOT to get perma banned from a video game forum usually. There is probably a lot more history behind it than any of us know anything about.
I think we "perma-banned" one guy in EQ2 like 7 times , came about 5 minutes from perma-banning his actual account from the game a few more...Faabio became a forum legend within six months of trolling over there...and CCP is waaaaaay more lenient on forum moderation than SOE ever was or will be. - [SERVICE] Corp Standings For POS anchoring |

I really don't understand why people are offended by Helicity's ban.
If the Tournaments taught us anything, it was that the metagame is CCP approved. Helicity lost at the metagame and cost him/her the rest of the game.
I'm also never shocked when rude and abrasive people are disciplined for being rude and abrasive.

The 'real name' argument does not stick as his real name is well known. Not like the guy was being outed. (I'd post the name but I don't wanna get banhammered ) This is just arbitrary way out of proportions punishment as he annoyed CCP. I don't even particularly like or know Helicity, but I will miss the community service he provided.

It's not an acceptable way to speak publicly. We are not all a bunch of kids passing a joint around and cracking jokes. CCP are not your buddies. Memes and trash talk culture don't make it right. Speaking to someone in a threatening way, and using a real name in that manner, is not a joke.
A permaban does seem a little extreme to me, but it is their natural right to choose not to associate with some people. It's like, "You really ****ed me off, and I'm never speaking to you again." Just, in this case "speaking" means allowing you to connect to their servers.

Edited by: Selinate on 08/08/2011 17:07:54 CCP is the most tolerant game company I have ever seen when it comes to what they allow on their forums. Even I, a person who has been perma-banned from many a game forum, would actually like it if they perma-banned more of the people who use this forum. It gets old after a while seeing idiots whine and moan and then flame all the time .
I mean seriously, you all who are defending this helicity person who suggested that dying in a fire would be too quick for someone on this forum are just a bunch of losers. Get a life. This is something more than deserving of a perma-ban from the forums.

I have been banned off quite a few gaming forums and I'll tell you how it works.
You can criticise or attack them for the way they handle things but in the end they'll only ban you for a long period of time or permanently if you break one of their 'other' rules but they'll add up the time the more you make them look bad and make a fuss. For instance, I just got a 14 day ban on this very forum for posting ASCII in the EVE is real trailer sticky thread, but to me it seems like they're just wanting to ban people who make the most fuss and then use something trivial like that as a reason to ban them. So that way they can say "Ah! But he wasn't banned for speaking out against us! It was because he posted this!", it's pretty much the way police handle people using swearing or protesting. If they get attacked by one or two people they'll claim the whole crowd was acting violent even if it was the police being violent in the first place.
Yes I do consider giving CCP the middle finger through ASCII art trivial, that's my right to freedom of expression. I can't believe I'm about to say this but if they don't like criticism or people talking to them freely then they should do what EA did at first with Warhammer Online and not even bother putting up a forum.

Well if the link here is from the banned player and not edited in anyway it was a 90 day ban upgraded to a permaban after he tried to pull a "you would not dare, I AM IMPORTANT!!!!!!!!!!" move.

Which freedoms would those be, exactly? I don't remember seeing "You have the right to be an assbag" posted anywhere on the ToS.
Let's be clear about one thing - this is not a public forum, it's a private one, owned, operated, and monitored by a private company. You have exactly as much "right" to post here as they say you do, and not one bit more.
It's a shame too many of my fellow countrymen don't understand the difference between private companies, governments and what the laws of the land actually pertain to, or the fact that there are different countries out there with different laws etc.
Just gotta love the free speech crowd on the intert00bz.
i dont know this helicity person, i dont know what they said aside from the obscure references to real names fires and dying. What i do know however is its not "freedom of speech" just being a douchebag on a webforum. Its just that, being a douche. I can promise you if you were in a heated disagreement with someone face to face and you told them to go die in a fire, they would wrap you around a pole.
if all these internet toughguys, ethugs and virtual heroes spoke to people in the real world - the world outside thier dark bedrooms - like they do on here, most of them wouldnt see the following day. Talking trash on an internet forum IS NOT being awesome and something to worship. Its gutless, cowardice, spineless and every single word in any language for being weak and pathetic.

people seem to forget CCP and companies dont work for you, they give you something and you pay them for that thing, they dont owe you anything. everything balances out when they have giving you that they offered, in this case a game for one month, and you have given them your money. there you go, even.
if you dont like it, you dont have to pay, but CCP never owes you anything. get over it
the last time some entitled jerk got mouthy with me because he assumed i "owed" him something i dropped him, right in front of his girlfriend/my ex. if helicity say that kind of BS to my face i would do the same in a heartbeat.
i understand that this is the internet, but it doesnt give you the right to act like an ass. people need to grow up and stop acting like self important peacocks.
thank god he got banned

In all my years of online gaming (and i am a old fart even by my own account) i learned one thing first.
In any online game getting into a **** fight with GMs/Devs only ends in one way, i still need to find a game where GMs understand frustrations of people and dont hand out bans like they are giving away candy. Even worse, the GMs that are communicating to the community stop doing that when they figure out they dont give a flying F if they lose a few subscribers.
Who is HB in eves of CCP? The guy that points out the "fail" new forum project, the one that ****s all over the "fail" expansion, the one that runs hulkageddon and gets miners to ***** to CCP?
F**k HB...is what CCP says, they own this game and your accounts, and i can understand them to some point. They can ban you for saying "good day" if they feal like it.
But i still agree with HB on multiple points made. People love this game, they invested a crapload of time in it, so when they get a glimpse of things changing the way management said never to go, tempers rise high. But saying he will be on them like a ton of bricks, and having ears of people in this game sounds to me like a child's temper tantrum. I honestly didn't think HB would go that way with threats. But what is done is done. He got banned. Not the first and not the last "abuse" of power in online games sadly.
Anyone remember Athena the arrogant paladin in WoW? Asking the GM if he can tag mobs and others kill them for fast leveling? He got the green light, GM said its ok, then another GM permabans him for the same thing. Answer from previous GM didn't count for crap.
Live and learn i guess :)

I could understand the ban if he said he was going to set the guy on fire. To me, that is 100% over the line
but,
"death by fire would be too quick" is really not even in the same league, yes it implies pain is desired... but it does not make the actual threat
i know it may sound like splitting hairs, but, really think about it... oh well, perhaps they'll ban all their players eventually...
what would be more interesting, is to see if they ban plex using accounts more frequently than $ paying accounts... I have a pretty good hunch

About eight or some months ago, Liang and I went out for a beer before he moved to California for his new job. We had a long conversation about some things that were coming that CCP was doing. Liang continually told me that "the game is about to make a huge change for the good" and I kept asking him if it was microtransaction related, but he said that he was bound to some form of NDA or something.
Nothing really came of that conversation but a lot of circular discussion regarding CCP and their fanbase being alienated by a growing business -- themselves. When the night was over I was reinvigorated that with business comes advances, and with advances things can become better. So I set my doubt aside and took in what Liang told me.
About 2 months later, our custom avatars were made. I thought that was it, and heck yeah, it was really amazing. I knew this was coming though, and wasn't quite sure what to think about all that. I had a brief conversation with Liang over Gtalk, and I discovered this was not it, but stay tuned.
Enter six months later, Helicity is getting banned and SHC is ablaze with Fearless, which set fire on the forums. I then went to Liang and asked him if THIS was it, and he didn't have a lot to say, other than CCP really f'd up this time and that he'd be leaving the game for good. I asked him a couple pointed questions and received direct responses, but those are kept between him and me.
I still remain neutral on this whole thing. I think CCP has a chance to make some great decisions. I just hope they choose to do so.

Look, you can get angry, you can let your anger show but a pillar of a community does not scream F U at the top of his lungs until his face turns blue and demands respect because he has a good kill ratio. He protests, organizes and makes things uncomfertable for CCP within their own rules. That's how you protest, thats how you become a pillar of a community. This was just a jackelope who obviously needs to seek an education.

This is still understandable. It's hardly an abuse of a mod's powers when the mod bans someone completely from the game for threatening a co-worker like that.
If the folks in this thread don't like mods banning players for threatening co-workers' lives, then maybe they should grow up.... it's just ridiculous to think the mods overstepped any boundary by banning a player for such an offense.

What a bunch of crybabies, nobody would purposely in an argument with a person face to face act like many of the people here do. Why? Cause that person potentially has the power to knock you on your ass. This is exactly what CCP did to HG....he pushed someone bigger than him, they pushed back he lost. Move on get over it, its just a game.
Also just to clarify if a forum member found out your real name, got into an arguement with you and made a direct threat to you and not your ingame avatar, you could have him banned from the game and potentially file a police report.
To many gamers have been living in their safe basements under their mums house and they cant handle it when the real world bites them on the ass.
If anything CCP and all forum moderators need to do more banning. |

Oh my sweet, magical, majestic ****!
I am so very tired of hearing this analogy. Especially since only the most stupid and mentally handicapped people seem to use it. What is your mental damage? Autism? Asperger's? Do you have an IQ lower than Forrest Gump?
I have one question that I would like for you to answer: How is "dying in a fire is not slow enough, <real name>" a 'direct threat'?
Please back up your argument by defining how the above statement correlates to a 'direct threat.'
And, for the record, I do not have a problem with Helicity beign banned. I have a problem with the lie used to justify the ban.

Just curious where the justification was posted and what the source of the justification was disseminated from...unless it's directly from CCP, and not second-hand "this is what I was told" then not sure anything could be considered "accurate". CCP isn't going to discuss this so, it's pretty much just taking someone at their word...which can be dubious at best around here most of the time. - [SERVICE] Corp Standings For POS anchoring |

This is a case of "he said, she said" to a lesser extent. On his blog, Helicity stated that he was told by CCP he was permabanned for making real life threats against devs.
If you check his post history, which you may or may not still be able to do, you will see that the most threatening thing he stated on the EVE-O forums is the comment above in bold.
And every single anti-Helicity voice clings to the "he made death threats" argument, but there is no proof of anything resembling a death threat. That is, of course, acting under the assumption that a death threat is "I will kill you" and not "dying in a fire would be too easy."
And, for the record, I do tell people in real life "I hope you die in a fire. And, not from smoke inhalation. I also don't want you to go into shock." I do not consider that a death threat to them, just me expressing my desire for them to suffer great pain.

You wouldn't find a post with a threat in it as it would have been deleted by mods before banning ever occured.
Secondly for the people that say oh but we say things like that to eachother all the time.
Well if you go into a shop with a bunch of people and talk **** to eachother you probably wont all get chucked out for it but try and talk like that to staff anywhere and see if they keep you in the shop 
CCP employees are just that employees who don't expect to come into work and get vitriol like "dying in a fire is too good for you".
In fact as a company they are liable to their employees for damages if one of them decides to sue them for being put in a situation where they are constantly abused and the company is not taking action to prevent it. verbally/written it doesn't matter.

It's true, you can get away with a lot of crap in high school that doesn't fly when you start interacting with the real world. 
Tell you what sweetie, trot yourself into whatever local establishment you like, get in the managements face and say "I hope you die in a fire. And, not from smoke inhalation. I also don't want you to go into shock."
Then come back and tell us how long it took before your rump hit the pavement outside the door. 
Helicitys blog is the most amusing load of self entitled, panic stricken, attention seeking, printed diarrhea I have read in a long time. I'm only surprised by the lack of "YOU WILL RUE THE DAY CCP, RUE THE DAY..." before his hysteria played itself out.
His assertion that CCP works for him and he puts the food in their mouths showcases where his logic fails (not that much logic was present to begin with). We are customers of CCP subscribing to their service.
If we wish to continue to be customers we must follow certain rules, including those that involve interactions with the staff and our fellow players.
If we no longer wish to be customers, we can always leave.
None of this gives us free reign to be as abusive as we like with no repercusions to our status as subscribers.
Helicity learned a hard lesson, one that most people learn with they achieve adulthood. Sadly Helicity and his supporters believe the fallacy that on the internet you can say anything you like without any repercussions what-so-ever... they forget that the only reason why people get away with that type of behavior is because of the anonymous nature of the net itself, and does not hold true when the person you are insulting clearly has your account information and is well within their rights to suspend your access to their service.
I believe the pertinent phrase is "Rebel without a clue".  ===== The world will not end in 2012, however there will be a serious nerf to Planetary Interaction. |

Allow me to respond in kind:
You can talk like that while your parents pay the bills for you because your second testicle hasn't descended yet.
But tell you what, sugarplum, try not to assume that anyone with a counter argument is still a child. That way, your inane rantings will make you look less like flotsam in the gene pool.
And, I use that phrase about once a week on my boss when he does something stupid. Which is about once a week. And, would you like to know why I'm still employed? Because I do my job better than he does his. Of course, since you're on the internet accusing people of being children, you probably don't know anything about careers or job security.
How is McDonald's, by the way? Been almost two decades since I worked in one.
By the way, all of my complaints at CCP are mine to verse as loudly and vehemently as I want to. Want to know why I have a sense of entitlement to the direction CCP is taking this game? All you have to do is buy 1 share in a publicly traded company and you too can concern yourself with the future of the company.
Oh, wait... Childhood... You probably don't even know what terms like "stock market" and "share holder" mean.
See how easy it is to make yourself look awesome by treating the person you're talking to as if they were an ignorant child?

Must be an interesting place to work, if you employer allows such a blatantly unprofessional attitude, regardless of your skillset. Your little tirade isn't helping your cause my friend. Instead you are simply proving my point. 
Regardless, whatever your personal relationship is with your employer, the fact remains that the vast majority of establishments will not tolerate such behavior from their staff and CERTAINLY not from thier customer base. In the case of the former I have fired employees without hesitation, and in the later case I have immediately banned customers from the various establishments where I have been part of the management team.
This is how insulting and mildly threatening behavior is handled in the real world, regardless of your fantasies otherwise.
Reality slaps internet tough guy upside the head, and he can't understand what went wrong.
Meanwhile the rest of the world laughs and shakes their heads.

Lol
You can't beat his simple argument that abusive behaviour is not acceptable so you proceed to attempt to condenscend instead.
PS no-one(especially CCP) gives a flying crap how you treat your boss. They will not allow you to treat them the same way regardless.
I'll give you another hint, You can own 49% of shares in a company go to a shareholders meeting and start to tell people they can die in a fire. Guess what ? There will be repercussions regardless of your financial status in that company. Abusive behaviour has implications in the real world. CCP just let someone on the forums know that the forums are still part of that world boohoo.
Frankly your post is so wholeheartedly ******ed i sincerely hope it's some sort of Troll attempt. If not, then pity for you sugarplum

Keep trying bunkie, eventually you'll get somewhere in the vicinity of a point.
Also, if Helicity fully understood what the repercussions would be for his outburst, why the flood of tears and rage when it happened?
I think I'll just continue to watch and wait for his surveillance of CCP and angst filled submissions to various gaming web sites to bring CCP to it's knees.

So in a newsletter the Dev is allowed to suggest that he would be burned at the stake by the player community for his views on MT's, but for a player to then say that would be too good of a way for him to die is over the line. Come on.
On the other side, to have such a bloated ego of yourself and your importance in a game, is sad. To start suggesting that CCP works for the player base and that he has the ear of the player pool and therefore they better cower to his demands is so foolish its hard to comprehend. Guess if he wears Nike shoes they better start designing things the way he likes. Guess if he drives a Honda, they better call him before they add any new options. Get real, you are a customer, you bought a product, you do not have a right bully the employees of the company verbally, or in writing because they "ruined your hobby".
Grow up.

Oh god...

Hang on a sec.

We have come to a consensus, Ranger 1.
You are either trolling, and deserve 4/10 for your effort (points deducted for making yourself look like an idiot in the process) or you actually are THAT stupid.
"The flood of tears and rage" that you are observing are from the pro and anti Helicity ban camps.
The fact that you are attributing the contents of this post in any way to Helicity Boson's feelings or comments swings the needle fairly mightily in the direction of "stupid" and away from "troll".
Helicity isn't posting in this thread. Helicity isn't posting on his blog. Helicity is done with EVE. But, since EVE is a sandbox and the actions of one person have the ability to affect everyone. And, since Hulkageddon has been running for more years than you've been playing EVE, EVE isn't done with Helicity.
If you wish to continue attributing the effect of a sandbox game to an individual player, by all means, do so. It's not like I can stop you from being stupid.
PS: I bolded the only parts you're going to pay attention to that way you don't have to strain your meager intellect on understanding the complexities involved in Helicity not being a part of this thread.

Now, if CCP said something along those lines, I could support that reasoning.
To draw a modern comparisson: I supported the war in Iraq, based on overthrowing a despot. I did not believe for a second that there really were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, nor did I believe that it was the actual reason. I would've been more supportive if we'd gone in and said it was to take a dictator out of power, or have more control over oil trade in the Middle East.
It's why I support Wiki-Leaks: organizations should not lie about their actions.
And, I said "we'd gone in" because I was a part of the initial invasion of Iraq. This isn't an "EVE is real," I actually was there. |

Originally by: Hwong Jian The email explaining the reason for the ban is on Helicity's website. And, it has been confirmed by CCP as true.
Perhaps if you knew how to internet...
I actually wasted part of my day reading it myself. What was posted on his site was replies from CCP about various things with his opinions added. If you consider that "confirmed" whatever.
Here is my final opinion on it, and you are entitled to your own.
Its *******s like that that ruin games for people. This ****er made career out of griefing and became EvE famous over it. Now hes gone and there's a handful of people upset. Good riddance.
As far as the facts go, independent from my opinion, he broke MULTIPLE forum rules, including 4, 6, 8, 9, 11. You can't say that didn't happen, and if you think it's unfair all I can say is thats too bad, huh? . Adapt and overcome or become a monkey on an evolution poster.

Hang on a sec.
Judges? ...
We have come to a consensus, Ranger 1.
You are either trolling, and deserve 4/10 for your effort (points deducted for making yourself look like an idiot in the process) or you actually are THAT stupid.
"The flood of tears and rage" that you are observing are from the pro and anti Helicity ban camps.
The fact that you are attributing the contents of this post in any way to Helicity Boson's feelings or comments swings the needle fairly mightily in the direction of "stupid" and away from "troll".
Helicity isn't posting in this thread. Helicity isn't posting on his blog. Helicity is done with EVE. But, since EVE is a sandbox and the actions of one person have the ability to affect everyone. And, since Hulkageddon has been running for more years than you've been playing EVE, EVE isn't done with Helicity.
If you wish to continue attributing the effect of a sandbox game to an individual player, by all means, do so. It's not like I can stop you from being stupid.
PS: I bolded the only parts you're going to pay attention to that way you don't have to strain your meager intellect on understanding the complexities involved in Helicity not being a part of this thread.
Actually, I was referring specifically to Helicity's blog, which is full of such tear and rage filled gems as...
Quote: If I had known you would have the nerve to post this ****...
Quote: Zindfandel is the worst kind of scum.
Quote: You people work for _us_ not the other way around, the food in your mouths is the food we buy for you.
Quote: Your game is dying, your next two games will be stillborn. And by banning me you have just martyred me in the eyes of your customers.
Quote: I will never stop. I will watch every move CCP makes, and every time your guys inevitably screw it up, I will make sure there is another 100 page threadnaught and a dozen mocking articles on every gaming news site.
Quote: Eve was my passion, my treasured hobby, my favorite pastime. And when you guys decide to **** with that, I will literally come down on you like a ton of bricks. I have the playersÆ ears now, not you. You would do well to remember that.
I would say, without fear of contradiction, that Helicity's own blog posts are the very definition of "tears and rage".
My point is made and you, apparently, are still seeking to find one.
Please continue your personal attacks, your attempts to change what was actually said to fit your arguments, and your attempts to impress the forum posters with your "I'll speak to anyone as I see fit without repercussions" line of crap. The lasting impression you are making with these people is not the one you would prefer.  ===== The world will not end in 2012, however there will be a serious nerf to Planetary Interaction. |

As the foremost expert on frivolous/unjustified CCP griefing, I'd say that Helicity's punishment was harsh (in that it was permanent,) but not entirely unreasonable. He comes off as completely unhinged imo, and consequently did a disservice to the protest.
If you don't think that what he said could reasonably be construed as a rl threat, please try sending identical sentiments to your nation's current leader and let us know how it works out for you. Signature locked for trolling and inappropriate content. Zymurgist |

You guys need to chill and work this over, see the game have his flaws, but its not entirely made of it.I just hope that CCP, reverse the Helicity ban, I don't know who is the player or what happened when the monocle riot exploded ( Im just 20 days old in this game), but it seen someone that contributed and enjoyed the game a lot.

So which is it, he didn't mean what he said when he wrote it... or he's had a change of heart recently?
When did the ban we are discussing happen?
Oh thats right. It happened just before the blog we are discussing was written.
Relevance, look it up.

Mr. Epeen can put you in your place on his own with no help from me, but do you really mean to state that telling him that he was banned because his post was "inappropriate and quite offensive" is an unsuitable or unexpected response to what was written?

I do not understand your question. Most likely, this is because you do not understand my point. Allow me to state it again:
- I do not care that Helicity was banned. - I do not care that Helicity has a blog/soapbox. - I believe that the reasons stated for Helicity being banned are a lie. - No variant of "die in a fire" constitutes a personal threat. - Personal threats must include the phrase "I will" in some form and describe an act of violence. - CCP stated that the reason for banning Helicity was him issuing a "personal threat". - The ban was not for using a dev's real name. See above. - I do not appreciate being lied to. - I believe that CCP has the right to ban players for any reason they desire. But, see above.
So, since absolutely NOTHING I've said is an attempt to justify or apologize for Helicity's actions, what is the relevance of your question?
Perhaps you would be so kind as to rephrase it in a way that makes sense.

Mr. Epeen looks like EVE's version of a gay Vin Diesel and he does nothing more than attempt to troll every topic in which he posts. He unfortunately can't put me in my place by saying "hurr durr, alt detected."
As for the "inappropriate and quite offensive", .... what?
His blog was written AFTER the ban. So, using the contents of that blog to justify the ban is highly illogical. And, as has been said quite a few times in this thread, Helicity was banned for "issuing a personal threat" against an employee of CCP.
He was not banned for saying something "inappropriate and quite offensive".
Could you please rephrase your post for me in a way that addresses the topic at hand?

Perhaps you should re-read Helicity's blog, including the direct quote from CCP stating why he was banned.
I kind of like how you keep trying to take what was said out of context. It shows initiative and a real go-getter attitude. Like the whole...
Quote: His blog was written AFTER the ban. So, using the contents of that blog to justify the ban is highly illogical.
... thing, when the part that was quoted (briefly so as not to violate forum rules) was clearly written by CCP as the reason as to why the ban happened.
Unfortunately, most people on these forums have basic reading comprehension skills and are a bit more difficult to confuse than that.
Still, nice try.
I like this as well.
Quote: No variant of "die in a fire" constitutes a personal threat.
Most places of buisness would disagree with you. It may be common slang in some area's to refer to any woman as *****, but if you address a bank teller or a sales woman in that manner you would quickly be shown the door. Slang phrases common on the net or in a section of society does not make them socially acceptable to the general populace.
As you point out, CCP can ban him for whatever reason they like. Likewise, if they chose to interpret his statements as threatening, they are entirely justified in that as well... despite how you would personally interpret them.

Ok. A few quick questions: - The generalization "most places of business" is based on what? - Slang is defined as "very informal usage in vocabulary and idiom that is characteristically more metaphorical, playful, elliptical, vivid, and ephemeral than ordinary language". So, are variants of "die in a fire" slang or threats?

Also for someone who trivialized the losses that he inflicted on others with "it's just pixels" he sure seemed to cry a lot when he got the initial 90 ban. IMHO things would have turned out differently if he had just apologized and explained that he really didn't mean to make any real life threats. Instead he tried to project the impression that he could take down CCP if they messed with him.

It's irrelevant what he said the arrogance and rudeness involved should be sufficient excuse for ccp.

There was no death threat, so CCP lied again. The permaban was for refusing to bow down and submit, I say it was well earned in the sense that Helicity earned his badge of freedom and courage in the face (or the facelessness) of tyranny.
Indeed if CCP (no need to personalize the Beast by naming the GM who did the deed) hadn't lied and instead had just claimed the unilateral right to ban whoever they choose, this would have been much less aggravating to lovers of freedom.
Yes he acts like a kid on a high horse, so what ? He did more than most wise-arses here.
As for being an organizer of griefing and being payed in kind by karma, very well. But EVE thrives on the publicity procured by mass griefing which makes the news in the gaming industry and brings more customers. You want these new customers to come here and learn that the dudes who did the deeds that fascinated them into giving the game a try, were banned under deceitful motives for speaking up to the big bad ice lizard aliens running the show ?
When did CCP speak up to say "we are not a game where griefing is encouraged" ? In that sense, HB was not only a part of the community but one CCP cashed on willingly and admittedly. Hulkageddon made the news, didnt it ? Each time a big scam made the news, did CCP condemn it? No, they said "we like being the game where this is possible". Now what ? Double language.
Who's the carebear whiner here? Is it HB or the staff who banned him ? Think about it. Karma (the simple working of the law of action and reaction) does work for everyone, HB got his share, CCP is getting its own as well.
I say good for everyone involved.

She was hailed as a her0ine for the countless lives she saved, after being trained by the british secret service, joining the french resistance, seeing here husband murdered, being captured, escaping, and then returning to smuggle hundreds of innocent people to safety, she was awarded countless honors and medals from the USA, UK, and France.
Then they played a voice clip of here from a year or 2 ago, she was 95years old i think... and it was along the lines of "I loved killing Germans. The only good German was a dead one and the deader the better. I rejoice in the fact I killed them, I only regret I couldn't kill more."

Seriously though - if you think this is an acceptable way to converse with a complete stranger, then you may want to reset your opinion of 'acceptable'. I believe the term is 'normalisation of deviance'. It isn't acceptable. Not even close. And let's not try to debate whether it was a 'real life threat' or not. It's just plain wrong.
I have the belief that the core, base character of a person is revealed through this anonymity. It helps me discern whom I would not rather to get too close to in-game or out.

I think it is kind of dumb of eve to so nonchalantly slap a perma-ban on such a prominent member of the community... it reeks of CCP responding emotionally, instead of thinking things through.
Prominent leaders in EVE, whatever their opinions may be, have a lot of followers, and can generate positive PR or negative PR for CCP. Perma-banning a player, though, generally only results in negative PR.
How CCP should have handled this... they should have tried to diffuse the situation, give the guy a chance to cool off, be a bit more understanding, and at worst, put a temporary ban on his account. Helicity Boson was angry, for whatever reason. We've all been there, getting mad at someone for whatever reason. How hard is it though, really, to tell a guy, look, you're mad, we get it. Take a few days to cool off.
If Helicity Boson wanted to keep playing the EVE, nothing can stop him from making another account. But, obviously, making another account means starting at 0 SP. How many SP did Helicity Boson have, when CCP banned him? How much time and effort is essentially wasted, when a major member of the community gets perma-banned? Years. Years, of Helicity's efforts, get wiped out, simply because some CCP employee feels like being a jack-ass, and has the power to be a tyrant.
I don't know Helicity Boson at all. But really now, CCP. Save the perma-bans for people who actually deserve it. Because a perma-ban basically amounts to screaming "F**K YOU" into someone's face, spitting on them, and then kicking their car off a cliff. (the car, in this analogy, being an eve account)

Helicity was permabanned for making a "threat" (as if they are even realistic, to threaten over the internet some random person), while at the same time the ****ING botters and RMTers are free to run around ****ing up the game, they barely get perma banned.

Well i'd say thats news to me but since they are releasing dust on the PS, I'd think they have indeed sold their soles so to speak. The moment CCP stand along side with sony is the moment I delete all my characters because sony are an evil company that actually kills people that speak out against them...
I'm talking about people that have credibility and own over half their publishing...

Originally by: WeirdNoise There was no death threat, so CCP lied again. The permaban was for refusing to bow down and submit, I say it was well earned in the sense that Helicity earned his badge of freedom and courage in the face (or the facelessness) of tyranny.
Indeed if CCP (no need to personalize the Beast by naming the GM who did the deed) hadn't lied and instead had just claimed the unilateral right to ban whoever they choose, this would have been much less aggravating to lovers of freedom.
Yes he acts like a kid on a high horse, so what ? He did more than most wise-arses here.
As for being an organizer of griefing and being payed in kind by karma, very well. But EVE thrives on the publicity procured by mass griefing which makes the news in the gaming industry and brings more customers. You want these new customers to come here and learn that the dudes who did the deeds that fascinated them into giving the game a try, were banned under deceitful motives for speaking up to the big bad ice lizard aliens running the show ?
When did CCP speak up to say "we are not a game where griefing is encouraged" ? In that sense, HB was not only a part of the community but one CCP cashed on willingly and admittedly. Hulkageddon made the news, didnt it ? Each time a big scam made the news, did CCP condemn it? No, they said "we like being the game where this is possible". Now what ? Double language.
Who's the carebear whiner here? Is it HB or the staff who banned him ? Think about it. Karma (the simple working of the law of action and reaction) does work for everyone, HB got his share, CCP is getting its own as well.
I say good for everyone involved.
You people act as if CCP is some government. It's a private enterprise. They can do whatever they want within the terms of the contract you signed with them. There is no such thing as civil rights. If you don't like it, don't pay for it!

You're a ****** spouting **** hopping some GM or CCP dev likes what you're saying, I have news for you mate, they don't give a **** what you think so long as they are getting your money.
So what that said are you feeling a little stupid now? I'd hope that you're because you're paying them for a service not a game. There are laws you forget because you're cluelessly sucked into this game and therefore give up your RIGHTS because you feel you have no rights 
Watch as CCP have there forums mods remove anything like this from the forum...

I'd like to remind people you're a human being and have rights and are never tied to some stupid ****ing contract that says you can not sell what YOU worked for in this game. Everything in this game you own is your property since you have worked for it, you did not code it into the game but you worked for those items and they do not belong to CCP since you paid them to use their servers and that means anything you created belongs to you not them.
You want to ****ing have a go at what I just said ccp then lets go then...
I'm a human being that is ****ed off of being ****ing over and stood on by company's who simple think they are above me, well you're not above me and you will never be above me. Everything in eve on my account belongs to ****ing me since I paid for that, I paid to access your servers and then create content for my self, you do not own that content I'm sorry but you don't, you did not sit there for hours at a time to earn it dumbasses... |

CCP You created the service which is no different than any other online service, terms and conditions mean nothing once common law comes into it. that little contract you get people to agree to is nothing more than a ****ing scam, it does not hold any authority, what are you going to do if people break it? Nothing because if people actually woke the **** up, you or anyone can do nothing at all to enforce it.

Those terms are illegal by definition, it is a scam, pay us this much and follow our instructions but all your stuff belongs to us.
Same thing really when the bank prints paper money out of nothing and then says sorry England you're in debt and must pay us back that money with interest...#
So what I'm saying is **** your stupid terms and conditions because they don't have any real power, I paid to use this service i should have everything i gained with my time as my own property.

A guy sued the doctors and hospital for circumcising him when he was too young to even decide if he would want that. That is the power people actually have if they stop and turn round and tell people to **** off because if you get down to it you are actually being shafted all the way through you life and you just allow it due to some micky mouse contract that does not stand in court if you have a brain.

Except, of course, that they can ban your account. Then you have nothing.
It might interest you to know that (contrary to urban myth) in every case that I am aware of where a online game companies EULA has been brought into question legally, the EULA has been upheld.

Sorry, but you are dead wrong. EULA and TOS for nearly every MMO clearly state that any in-game items, including currency, ships, modules and even characters, all belong to CCP. You don't own a single thing in-game.
The monthly subscription you pay is a rental fee. It's like paying for an apartment or a storage unit - you do not own the apartment or any of the appliances that came with the apartment, nor do you own any of the utilities that service your apartment. What you pay for is the privilege to use the apartment for as long as you decide to pay for said apartment.
This is why CCP is able to ban anyone for any reason, subjective or not, and you won't be able to sue. If I were you, I'd learn to read a contract before you agree to it's terms, otherwise, you look like an idiot, since you have legally acknowledged that you have read and fully understand the terms and conditions, yet you come to the forums and cry about what you obviously do not comprehend due to sheer incompetence on your part.

fully agree. This is big problem of whole "protest" in Eve: it doesn't have any reasonable basis. While i agree with those guys that CCP does something wrong i can't support such badly advertised action....

She was sayin "what if they could be destroyed", and implying I would cry like a little girl with a skinned knee at the thought of monetary loss.
Truth be told, I have bought 3 GTC's in 2008/9 and will never pay for EvE out of my pocket again unless real life commitments stop me from being able to log in. EvEn if monocles were destroyable.
I love the PLEX system and will always fully support the NEX store, until non cosmetic items are introduced. It allows me to spend 52 bucks a month that I cant take out of my budget. The NEX store allows me to give someone else's money and provides an ISK sink. Some people will never comprehend the need for an ISK sink, as a professional Eve-conomist I fully understand.

Originally by: LittleTerror I'd like to remind people you're a human being and have rights and are never tied to some stupid ****ing contract that says you can not sell what YOU worked for in this game. Everything in this game you own is your property since you have worked for it, you did not code it into the game but you worked for those items and they do not belong to CCP since you paid them to use their servers and that means anything you created belongs to you not them.
You want to ****ing have a go at what I just said ccp then lets go then...
I'm a human being that is ****ed off of being ****ing over and stood on by company's who simple think they are above me, well you're not above me and you will never be above me. Everything in eve on my account belongs to ****ing me since I paid for that, I paid to access your servers and then create content for my self, you do not own that content I'm sorry but you don't, you did not sit there for hours at a time to earn it dumbasses...
Can I haz ur stuffz pls?
No you can not, I paid for my characters, for years they belong to ME not CCP, my account belongs to me i ****ing paid for it, I paid for the game and account and it belongs to me not them.
You sir are just a dumbass not prepared to stand up for your rights as a human on this free earth.
I completely agree that people should stand up for their rights. That said, your ideas of what your legal rights are seem to be a little... well... off.
If you willingly agree to a TOS, while not necessarily being a 100% legal document, they do layout how the service works and you have agreed to those terms. You could file a lawsuit if you are not happy about what has transpired; however, there is little difference between the person who will bang on their rage drum all day and not do anything of any real substance and the person who goes along with the scheme and never says a word.
TLDR: File a lawsuit or get over it.

Haha, you're so funny.
You do not own anything, you have been paying for access to the account on their servers, everything on the account in every legal sense of the term is CCP's intellectual property and they retain owenership of it.

When you think about it destroying some poor miners 100 million + isk hulk isn't especially cool if you are the miner, i mean it is a tech 2 ship so you can't rationalize it as insured losses. I think a Dramielaggedon would be more fun and cost the victims just as much

Originally by: LittleTerror A guy sued the doctors and hospital for circumcising him when he was too young to even decide if he would want that. That is the power people actually have if they stop and turn round and tell people to **** off because if you get down to it you are actually being shafted all the way through you life and you just allow it due to some micky mouse contract that does not stand in court if you have a brain.
In debt of ú3000 or more? write it off, like srsly what can they do? Nothing that's what, reclaim your money and live a better life.
Presumably the guys parents were consulted, if he has the right to sue anyone it should be his parents.

its not okay to treathen someone in anyway. But hes right. CCP fecked up, and EVE s dieing. Numbers are going down drasticly. Mabe winter wll help getting more players online.
Based on feeling and 8 years of playing. i come to a conclusion that eve has peaked. However lets hope im wrong.

Id like to see him post before Ill believe it lol CCP doesnt often admit they made a knee-jerk reaction (see kugutusmen - the fact that his spelled right name is STILL banned from the forums after what 4 years). Could be cause Mittens is talking about "starting fires" and "bring your gasoline" an they dont wanna ban HIM oh no ------------------------------------ "You know, my foot oughta vandilize your ass" |
