He didn't take it "to real life". It was on TeamSpeak. Is TeamSpeak "real life"? Is the Internet "real life"? He used an out of game communication tool, but everything was still within the context of EVE Online.

Had it been on EVE Voice vs TeamSpeak your argument would be invalid. Your argument is based on something that's just incidental. This is why you're argument is weak and falls apart.

If anything, Ripard Teg should be punished for creating so much bad publicity for CCP out of an event that goes on in the game... pretty much on a weekly basis that has never drawn so much inter-media attention.

Why would you work in a game in the first place?
Instead of having fun which is itself a reward for time spent.

In other words the outcome of your gaming activity is your satisfaction with the process or accomplishment not "space pixels"
if you consider your time spent in EVE as "work" you are doing something wrong and it's not even a matter of different tastes or interests

I have been playing this game for many many years now, and have never really been comfortable with the whole scamming thing. I think it spoils the game and actually drives people away. Scamming as become so prevalent in Eve its over taken the good aspects of it. Look at jita every single post in chat is a scam.

I dont like the fact that goonswarm do this constantly to a point its part of their culture, and sometimes the way they do it is a little creepy and weird and wrong.

But this is a whole new level, and its just not about a scam, its cyber bullying, torture at is very worse. I am sure this is certainly not the first case of this and its happening to others by other eve players.

You can hear from the start where this was going, and Erotica1 sounds really creepy tbh. They carried on for 2 hours, even when they knew the guy was getting upset, this is when you stop. Actually it should of never started.

This is for me the real darkside of eve, and where scamming takes it past gameplay. I have never played or seen a game that allows this to happen, or even breeds that type of person. The very idea of scamming has created these people, and CCP certainly has to take brunt of the blame for this as they endorse this type of behavior, but its gone a a step too far. as stated I am sure there are many Erotica1s lurking about.

This is just not scamming, its parasidic and morally wrong. Personally i would of called the police and given them the recording as people are now getting prosecuted for this type of thing. What gets me most is that there have been a few cases on twitter etc where people have committed suicide because of people like this. What if this guy did?

CCP has a duty just like twitter and others to protect its users.

However being a veteran player of this game, even after the time an investment i have made, every moral fibre in me is twitching. I am now seriously thinking do i want to pay, play or be a part of this game, ccp and its community if this is something that is happening to people. I certainly do not want to be associated with an organisation or game that endorses such actions and game play anymore.

Sick? Maybe. Immoral? Maybe. Legal most likely because the adult named sohkar consented to everything.

Still trying to grasp how volunteering to sing songs is humiliation.

Posting kill mails is clearly meant to humiliate the victim, especially in a gank, and the perps don't even ask you if you're ok with them posting your loss.

That's it, I'm calling your babysitter.

Bloody murder!? Who cares? How could anyone involved know for sure?
How could anyone you shoot your lazors at ingame not be a little baby seal/puppy, YOU MEAN MEAN BULLY!
No victims = no crimes.
Deal with it.

I'm gonna post this every time someone beats the poor dead horse;

What happend;
Ero: Give me your isk and I double it.
Adult ATC: Here's all my isk
Ero: haha, you need to come on teamspeak and win a bonus round where I invent the rules as we go
Adult ATC: ok
Ero: read this text please
Adult ATC: Ok, N-BOMB, Gaybash, shout, scream, rant
Ero: Sing songs
Adult ATC: NO! N-BOMB, Gaybash, shout, scream, rant
Adult ATC: I'l gonna kill you!
Adult ATC: My wife will come and scream at you some more

How it should have been;
Ero: Give me your isk and I double it.
Adult ATC: Here's all my isk
Ero: haha, you need to come on teamspeak and win a bonus round where I invent the rules as we go
Adult ATC: Wait what? Naaaah... You scammed me, well played.

What normal people do:
Ero: Give me your isk and I double it.
Adult ATC: No way dude, I know it's just pixels but I want to buy space bling with them.

D.

In the 200 and whatever pages of this thread nobody can name what EULA and TOS rules E1 has broken. Everything that E1 did in that recording are things that have taken place for the last decade.

Many you should stop reading the words of an agitator ffs.

You have to be a special kind of stupid to allow a stranger on the internet to have that kind of control over you.

all those conspiracy's and moralfags.

lets just say E1 had a chat with a friend of him who all did this as an act to get massive attention.

realy. this stuff is getting worse every post. proving your own rightness. by imagining.


my god people. get some damn brains. get a glass of water. and try to think just for one damn second.


oh. and stop proving your own goodness. prove who is inocent

There is no justification for wanting to see erotica1 hurt so that you can laugh at it.

Period.

Hurt feelings are not real harm.

Really.
It shows how completely worthless the forum moderation is around here.

Broken rules generally get threads locked, usually on the flimsiest of pretenses.

IE: A thread gets trolled by asshats. If CCP just 'doesn't like' the subject because it puts them in a bad light - BAM - thread locked for trolling.

On the other hand, of the mods LIKE the topic - "Hey, lets allow 260 pages of hate slamming Erotica 1 as a pretense for nerfing his playstyle!" - Well, then rules don't matter and the ISD's are directed to go on vacation.

Trolling, hate, personal attacks, this thread has it all. But guess what, its still chugging along.

CCP Falcon and the forum mods have really shamed themselves here and deserve any lack of respect hey have earned.

What part? The reading the Wikipedia entries, or the Disney song? I know some Disney songs are pretty bad, but I hardly think they count as "emotional abuse".

Or are you talking about being laughed at? Because in that case, I'm emotionally abusing you right now.

Did nobody ever teach any of you sorry ***** the "Stick and Stones" rhyme?

Tell me....

Have you ever been tortured?

Do you understand what torture is?


People don't normally submit to it willingly like Sokhar did. If anything, the fact that he consented to everything indicates he was enjoying himself.

So space money is narcotics, now?

http://eve-kill.net/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=18375933

What did that poor Caracal pilot do to deserve being ganged up on and killed by you and your friends?

How could a decent person kill another just because they had wandered into "the wrong" space?

In order for Ero to have them, what does Sokhar need to do?

Huh? Think about it a moment.

That's right, HE HAS TO HAND THEM OVER WILLINGLY YOU DUMB CHUMP.

LOL, I got this vision of you typing furiously at the keyboard in fine 'that'll show him" fashion.

Actually we pay money for access to the game. ISK is worthless.

I would imagine most if not every trade hub scammer, AWOXer, pirate, and "dark side" type that plays this game enjoys inflicting loss on their victim. One of the reasons I hear the most for people liking full loot PvP games like this is because of "meaningful loss", whether it is a 1M ISK frigate or a multi-billion ISK mission runner or capitol ship. What is the point of podding people after you've already destroyed their ship? You have nothing to gain from it (it's not like you can loot their implants), other than a KM and a chance of some more tears. Are we going to start banning anyone that professes to "tear collecting"?
