At the point the recording begins, Erotica1 already has the entirety of the victims assets.

The sole and only purpose of the subsequent entire 2hrs torment, is to humiliate and grief the victim.
That is malice.

Already sent the tip to CNN, BBC, Guardian, and couple of other news sites I read. Someone is bound to pick this up.

Spread the word! Force CCP to act!

If people want to get all Legal Eagle on this, if the victim of the bonus room was recorded without his consent and is living in a state that forbids it, then there could be grounds for legal action there. Recording a conversation secretly can land you in trouble in some states. Using the recording in such manner as it was used would certainly not help.

I know people will say "but it's only a game!". Sure - but will they be the same people saying that this is outside of the realm of Eve since it was not on Eve Voice?

If I was CCP, I would boot E1 & Co. and pass therir IPs to law enforcement.

Bad press for CCP when knowledge of this and the recording proliferates.

Good press for CCP when they take action on it.

Both press, net profit.

Throwing Erotica1 out on his ass is a paltry price to pay for that.
Nobody will question that CCP is utterly within its rights, and sufficiently justified, to do so.
And nobody will miss him anyways.

As is demonstrated in this thread, and in which I have been keeping count of individual posters and their expressed views, the community is overwhelmingly against what he has done as evidenced in the recording.

Says the guy who laughed, had his wife and children laugh at a poor guy being humiliated by a sociopath. Not brilliant yourself, are you ?

Decision quality is low when emotions are running high. His decision clearly wasn't premeditated. And it was more certainly solicited. We all know how this works. Erotica1 was out for tears, and got them. So happy to receive them, he released the audio.

How about stop being stupid for once. Goon tag does carry a reputation but this ain't funny anymore.
Justifications of any kind prove you have serious issues.
You all defended fucktani after his fanfest shitfall and now you're here again. Just stop if there's nothing of value that you can add to this basket.

In the same effect, E1 could of just said "HA, we have your isk. Have a nice night." And it all would of been avoided.

Looks like E1 and Co. are trying to do damage control and shift blame anywhere they can.

First they tried shifting to the victim. Community didint buy that BS.

Now E1 is trying to shift blame on Ripard.

Frankly, it smacks of desperation.

Permabans for E1 and Co.

Say NO to cyber-bullying and emotional **** of vulnerable people.

Having listened to the whole recording I can not find at any point where Erotica1 continually and maliciously humiliated the contestant. What I heard was the script used for all bonus rooms and the contestant throwing abuse left and right. Long story short he willing gave his stuff over to gamble on quadrupling it and lost. He got angry and for 30 min there was nothing but him tossing insults about, he could have backed out at any time but he didn't.

Erotica1 has done nothing against the EULA. You might not agree with what he does but that is no excuse for this witch hunt you people have embarked upon. You are literally doing the very thing you are accusing Erotica1 of doing, deliberately targeting a player.

And Teamspeak is now aware of this issue as well.

Well, if you used those words, you lied your ass off.

There is no such thing as cyber bullying, and the "victim" participated of his own free will.
