Aaaaand we are on page 15 and no Erotica1 comment yet. Banned already?

nope, and wont happen. he's enjoying the precious tears though.

Let me know which one you chose.

He is here reading.
Has even thrown me a Like or two.

If CCP takes no action against Erotica, then they are sanctioning this behavior and are no better than he is. I expect better from them.

So you expect them to take action when no breach of either the EULA or the TOS has occured purely based on your dislike of his behaviour?

What I would say is "wow, that's an unstable person who should not have been playing EVE online of visiting a comms channel with some easily google-able person like Erotica1 in the 1st place"

Did somebody hold a gun at that guy's head to make him do all those idiotic things? Seriously, you can have no idea about who Erotica1 is and what he does in Eve and still not let him put you through those silly things. You got baited into isk doubling scheme, fine, cut your loses and walk away.

They are literally laughing all the way to the bank.

I'm happy, because CCP created this actual adult game where people are responsible for themselves.

I've fallen for a couple scams (I bought a 700 million isk tech1 hauler in Rens a few months ago,it was the only one in the Sisters station and i was in a hurry lol). It never occurred to me to threaten the scammer with real life harm or be mad at CCP for allowing me to do something stupid.

Same here, if you don't know you can be humiliated on comms (EVe voice or 3rd party) some responsible adult should take you headphones away and prevent you from downloading teamspeak ever again.

I will never understand how there are so many weak minded and irresponsible people in this world let alone in this notorious and harsh game.

You have obviously already chosen for us both and i don't think that there is any possible way of a sensible discussion with you.

Like mittani was you mean? Yeah that would be outrageous indeed.

Would you care to expand upon why Erotica and the like should suffer real world punishment for actions that are carried out within a virtual world that does not forbid said actions, no matter how distasteful you or I may find them?

Perspective is a quality that some in this thread appear to be lacking. If you don't like something that somebody is doing within the confines of Eve, then punish them for it, in game. Threats of real world violence for actions carried out within the context of Eve are not acceptable, people who make such threats, or condone them should be stomped on from a great height by both CCP and local authorities.

And to everyone else who thinks that people who play EVE should all harden the f*ck up and all be emotionally stable super soldiers:

This might be a good time to point out that EVE Online is rated PEGI 12 and that children younger than 12 are actually allowed to play with their parent's consent.

Now imagine Erotica pulling this sort of bullsh*t on a 12 year old kid that is about as emotionally stable as a house made of sand and who may already be dealing with enough bullying in their real lives.

And regardless of that, I think it's absolutely repulsive that certain people around here believe that Erotica's behavior (or any bullying behavior within EVE) should be classed as 'normal and to be expected within EVE'.

Agreed.

Only the authorities and mainline media will be looking for any and all triggers in even increasing detail. Blame has to land somewhere no?

I wouldnt say CCP would be over joyed at their game being a deciding factor.

I don't know about Icelandic law, but in my country what Erotica1 does with the Bonus Room, is illegal. That alone is reason enough for me.

Right, because E1 was totally in a speaking role at a major CCP sponsored convention when this happened, it isn't the same and you know it.

1. At what point does 'emergent gameplay' become 'cyber-bullying?
2. If such a point is established what could, and indeed what should, CCP do about it?

So you expect them to take action when no breach of either the EULA or the TOS has occured purely based on your dislike of his behaviour?

Article 68 (of the Constitution of Iceland)

No one may be subjected to torture or any other inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.

This is the only rule change I would support. Making the game 18+, it's a double win both for the kids who should be playing outside, and for those of us who don't want annoying kids around.

Could very well be. He's running for CSM (or so he claims). If he gets enough votes we're sending someone to Iceland that takes pride in humiliating and abusing the player base he provides a voice for.

+1 for jester for trying but i dont think it will change anything. The crucial thing with this is the victim is a willing participant.

Personally i think its total madness to give all your stuff over to another player you dont know and trust regardless of the reason.

i only managed to listen to around 8 minutes before i was shaking my head and thinking no one is THAT blind to the obvious,

i know gamblers who cant help chasing their losses until they are totally broke. its human stupidity and greed that is being exploited here.

i mean come on, if it looks like easy money then you are the one creating the easy money.

my 1 isk worth.
