There come times when a massive fleet fight is happening and you can't be there. It's a missed opportunity. Sure, you can read about it the next day. Or you can live vicariously through the killboards. But there's nothing quite like witnessing it live as ships explode and billions of ISK vanish in an instant. Luckily, there is one man who broadcasts many of the largest fleet fights in New Eden, waking up for alarm clock ops just to stream them.

In our latest Community Spotlight, we feature Mad Ani, who has recently become the first EVE-dedicated streamer to be made a partner with Twitch.tv.

I do like Ani's streams, and he does a fabulous job, but what you guys failed to realize is; he's a ****. I've spoken to a lot of members from his former corporation & alliance. They've had NOTHING but bad things to say about him. Refusing to PvP, streaming blue fights with no time delay, leaving comms on during fights, and general lack of respect.


When you guys do a spotlight, cover the entire story, not just the pros.

B-DBYQ not B-BDY in article

Great spotlight.

During yesterdays battle he topped out at ~5600 views of his stream.

Love your stream, dude, keep up the good work.

CCP should fund this man's hobby for the ridiculous amount of traffic his stream gets (and thus attention to their game.)

Complete and utter troll. Nice attempt though.

Haha. Right. That isn't what I was told. When over 30 people from your old corporation, and alliance smack talk you, its a bit more believable. I stopped watching your stream because of what I found out. I refuse to support someone who steals from people, lies, back stabs, and doesn't pull his own weight. I'm sad to say, I actually donated money to you.

Back when I was promoting Flight of a Thousand Rifters III, I joined Mad Ani's in game channel. At the time Mad Ani was in the same alliance as me, Northern Coalition. I asks in the channel if Ani was around so I could link in the channel my event. Ani was not around and many players in the channel was asking for details. So I explained some info about the event and dropped a link for those who wanted more detailed information. I did not spam the link or continue to talk about the event endlessly.

A few hours later Mad Ani banned from the channel and proceeded to give me a nasty ear full in alliance chat. I apologized and said I was not spamming or anything malacious. Mad Ani unbanned me on the condition I ask for strict permission each and every time to talk about my event and I was no allowed to do it more than once a day. This continued for a couple days and as the event started to gain more and more attention from eve gaming news sites Mad Ani became more and more angry with me when I would ask permission to link my event for each day.

Finally Mad Ani convo'd me and made some outlandish demands. For the so called low, low price of 2 billion ISK he would in very small text put the event link on the stream off in a corner somewhere. The link is literally five letters long...

I tried to explain to him this event was to celebrate EVE's 10 year anniversary, that I had already sunk in about 30 billion ISK of my own ISK and everything else was through the generous donations of the sponsors. I politely said there simply was no extra ISK available to do meet his demands. I mentioned that if he was to put the link on his stream as a donation to the event I would be more than happy to mention his name in stream in the list of sponsors.

This was unacceptable for Mad Ani. He made his demand again and I politely declined. He them immediately perma-banned me from the channel completely. FOATR was a massive success though thanks to those sponsors and everyone who showed up. Ironically I was told Mad Ani attempted to get a live steam up in the system only to be killed on the entry gate when the system was too full.

I guess that's karma for you.

Yeah, there's some good content on this stream.

I especially liked the incident a few weeks ago, where subsequent to you being decloaked and ganked while afk, you demanded CFC reimburse your ship, set you blue, and apologise to you via evemail before you'd edit a video of a bomber run they did. Funny stuff.

Annoying. Kept posting his links all over the place (including coalition ops channel).
Have made some cool blue intel also.

Seens to care just for himself and his links while auto promotes himself trying to get some isks here and there.
