If you dont know there are two news sites called Eve News24 and The Mittani.com which are both good and bad reads depending on the author or blogger of the article (go check them out). I read both on occasion and both can be rather entertaining and even educational.
If you have been reading either one in the last couple of weeks there is some drama between the two inregards to some sort of data dump that some players supposedly took advantage of (who cares) thus resulting in alittle name calling and he said she said bs. TBH the drama have been the best thing to read on these sites lately and the only reason to keep coming back. I will give my opinion of both at the end of this thread.
Now to the meat and potatoes. The two people who run these sites are Riv and Mit (I dont know either of thesse pilots personally or in-game so I have no opinion of either) and from what I have read they dont like each other. Normally i would say hug and make up but this is eve and we need explosions. Solution: Both pilots need to settle this mono e mono one on one battle to the death (yes i know you cant die in eve) and let everyone watch so we can heckle or cheer them on. Well whats so special about two pilots (I hate this word) dueling in eve? Nothing I say BUT what I propose is that the loser must post a flattering article on the winner and state they are the loser. Im sure there will be other sugestions and i would love to hear them so flame/troll away.
My opinon on both. EN24 is a good read but limited to just eve (I know they just came out that they will be covering other games) but has potential to be a great site. The articles in EN24 are usually well written with just alittle bias. TMC is a good read since they cover more than just eve (WOT my 2nd favorite game) but the articles can sometimes read like an elementary school paper. TMC is the fox news of eve they go out of their way to say they are fair and ballanced but who are you fooling call a spade a spade. Just my 2cts

EN 24 is just horrible copy/pasta from other sites. No original content, bad grammar, poorly researched.
Riverini is just running it to get IRL cash from advertising.
I'm not entirely clear on the point of this, but I do have a sudden urge to jump in a catalyst and blow up a miner.

Players didn't 'supposedly' take advantage of a hacked/reverse engineered (definitely against EULA ) CHAOS server: they admittedly did (& CCP later said its ok to beak the rules in this way laughably)
CCP has a way of saying breaking the EULA is ok until it isn't anymore on a whim biting peeps in th arse later ( watch out cache scrapers!!! )

Even the articles on EN24 are full of sperg.
TMC is biased in multiple directions. There are writers from all over EVE (and outside it too). Every individual writer has his own biases, but the site as a whole balances itself out rather well because of the diverse viewpoints. You just always remember to check who wrote what.

themittani.com is terrible on the eyes.
Having said that I really enjoy it content wise. Yes there are a few miffy articles, but the vast majority of it is informative and lulzy.
EN24 is just gash for the most part, and I would choose the former over the latter. |

Are you trolling or actually serious? The only stuff on EN24 that can remotely be considered "well-written" is not their own writers' content originally written for EN24, but cross-posts from blogs like Jester's Trek. I can't read any of EN24's original content without absolutely cringing at the butchering of both the English language and quite possibly the concept of the written word, while TMC's content is actually quite well-written when it comes to non-professional writing.
And if you consider EN24 "just a little biased", you probably don't bother reading their nullsec articles because it's heavily biased against Goonswarm and the CFC. For the longest time, Riverini refused to even write "HBC" on his site and called them "DekCo" (his dumb name for the CFC) instead because he refused to consider the HBC a separate coalition "until they declare war on teh big bad goonies and invade Deklein" . It's as if believed that he'd make that happen through the "power of the pen."
The fact that he has an axe to grind is clearly visible in literally everything he has written since an alliance he was previously affiliated with, Majesta Empire, was bulldozed off the map, while blaming their loss on Goonswarm not coming to bail them out. So, no, EN24 isn't "just a little biased," it's anti-Goonswarm propaganda mixed with some syndicated blog posts.

Jesters articles are great i will not disagree with you on that! As for the politics I really have no opinion on that because obviously I am not have not been in any of the large coalitions/corps that are discussed in those articles. I read the articles that pertain to overall gameplay. The political articles are fluff.

Reading Eve24 is like reading a British tabloid.
Reading The Mittani is like reading the People's Daily.
"Entitlement" is a euphemism for "I hate the way you play and it makes me cry like a baby".

Even if Riv won EN24 would still be an excrement-like website used for personal purposes like his grudge against Goons and his seeking the highsec bear vote with poor-quality "check your PVPer privilege" posts. TMC is a much better site and will continue to be unless Mittens goes full mentally-challenged-person on it.
My main is in one of the surviving BoB corps, so you know I'm being honest here.
