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 Signatured removed, CCP Phantom |

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. Twitter! - @AzamiNevinyrall I'm half expecting a ban for this post. |

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. mine quotes from my posts at your peril, badposters

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". If you fantasize about being immoral it means you enjoy being immoral deep down. |

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.

No.
I am saying that one side saying one thing and another side saying the opposite does not mean the truth is in the middle, and that assuming that the truth is in the middle is lazy, sloppy thinking. I am saying that what one should instead do is apply some critical thinking skills and obtain additional information if possible and make your own judgement. I am also saying that this is true in general and in any context, rather than just in the specific dichotomy being discussed in this thread. Member of the Goonswarm Economic Warfare Cabal |

When I first started playing EVE I read EN24, but with time my tastes have changed and I find myself over at TMC more. I like the book reviews and it reads less to me like someone's blog or an after action report. Watching the live feed of Jita, on their twitch channel, is strangely relaxing at times too.
If TMC had forums I'd be over there even more. Hint!

I refuse to comment on this thread because anything I say will be called either lies, propaganda or whatever else you people want to accuse me of.
But if I could get away with posting a popcorn gif. I would.
One thing that I do feel obliged to do which is often overlooked is that a healthy portion of the content on EN24 is reposts. Dev Posts, Blogs etc etc.
Make of that what you will.
And in defense of Eve News 24. His new design did look pretty slick at one point. But then he got threatened by The Verge online magazine and he had to gut the whole theme. Poor guy. TMC Senior Developer http://themittani.com - Because EvE has needed a proper news site for ages |

Hi! I'm Tegiminis from TMC. I proof and write some stuff on the side. If you see a minor typo or tonal issue in an article, it's probably my fault I'm not affiliated with or have any allegiance towards goons.
TMC is full of a diverse bunch of writers from all over the EVE universe (and other games), and I can say that it's some of the most intelligent, well-spoken, interesting people I've had the pleasure to work with. There is no axe to grind; presuming as such is more indicative of your personal allegiances than of the general thrust of TMC. Mittani does not demand writers cover things in a certain way, and every staff member - writer, proofer, and editor - has a different opinion or viewpoint on a situation. The site is not a monolithic goon propaganda site. In fact, it's one of the better game journalism sites in terms of quality, and I should know: I've worked as a game journalist for almost half a decade now.
EN24 is shlock garbage. Riverini has a grudge against The Mittani, and it's patently obvious to anybody taking the remotest amount of time to read EN24. He goes so far as to admit it in the counterpoint to Incindir's article, both in his Skype screencaps and in the comments. He's "waiting for goons to slip up." If that doesn't tell you all you need to know about EN24 and Riverini's deranged behavior, then you're a moron and probably can't read.
I'm delighted to work with the staff at TMC every day. I've never felt that way about a site I've worked for before. It's a nice feeling. |

But if I could get away with posting a popcorn gif. I would. One thing that I do feel obliged to do which is often overlooked is that a healthy portion of the content on EN24 is reposts. Dev Posts, Blogs etc etc. Make of that what you will. And in defense of Eve News 24. His new design did look pretty slick at one point. But then he got threatened by The Verge online magazine and he had to gut the whole theme. Poor guy.
Your entire post is nothing but lies and propaganda, and some other stuff with names that means it's bad.
Actually, in all due seriousness, as much as the in game persona of the goon-club irritates me, TMC is a decent place to get a quick wrap up of what's going on in MWO and Eve. The bias that exists (where it exists) isn't that hard to recognize if you do some critical thinking of your own, but you know :effort: - some people are against expending any, it's just easier to sperg and yell "GOOOOOOOOONS" whenever something goes wrong.

is it bad that one of the reasons i play this game is to see every one cry "goons" every time something happens? the rustling sound of tinfoil is like music to my ears. Ice Mining Skill Plan. |

I think the most awesome thing about this thread is none of the neckbeards in it get that the site is not his, nor is it run by him, its Endies site, they just stole his name. Does he write for it? Sure, but does he run it? Nope. |

I don't really see how you can compare the two sites - TMC tries to be a gaming magazine (not really a news site) while EN24 is mostly an EVE blog aggregator (with almost no original content), it's two entirely different concepts. TEST alt - don't trust. |
