Read this once again outloud.

they have every case to do something if it brings the game, their IP and themselves as a company into disrepute. It all boils down to how much pressure CCP can take from public opinion and media coverage and how much more mud they can withstand being flung at their reputation.

Wise up, this is a business, if CCP think what has happened here today could impact them financially in the future they will call curtains on E1 and the whole debacle. To any of you who think that CCP would willingly take the ensuing **** storm for this in the name of protecting the Harsh EVE universe over their bottom line you are lunatics.

All these "torture" and similar talking points being tossed around by people who are just copying and pasting, most of whom "have no need to see or listen to the chats/recordings."

Read Ripard and Gevlon's comments (in jester trek). Read their wording. They have agendas and don't care about collateral damage.

These whiteknight carebears on such a high moral pedestal, they actually spew hate.

Disgusting.

I welcome any of them to a debate in TS, livestreamed.

Ripard, you want to talk like that? Let's hear it in your voice.

got as far as page 24 lastnight...wake up to this.
feel the need to chime in here in support for Malcanis, regardless of what ye all think of Erotica 1 , pitchforks and torches are not the answer, its way too vague a precedent to set and leaves ccp open for frankly offensive demands. i actually completely agree with him on the homosexuality/Russian block thing (i had the exact same concern).
mittens was treated as he was because he was a representative of both players and ccp and ****** up in the the same room as most of the ccp staff.

don get me wrong here , i was bullied as a kid, rather badly and find the bonus room to be somewhat disgusting but given that it dosent break the tos or the eula....well then.

Also, seriously, who the **** trusts strangers on the internet

Everyone in this thread should just take a step back, maybe drink a glass of water and calm down.

I really have a hard time to understand how anyone can call this cyberbullying or torture with a straight face. After all we are talking about game characters here and not about an attack on a persons real life. Everyone who can't see that difference has lost his perspective and can't separate fiction from reality anymore and should probably stay away from this kind of RPG.

I hope this thread gives Erotica 1 the publicity to get elected to the CSM and replace Reta.. sorry, Ripart Teg.

Erotica 1 4 CMS9

its not about the TOS or the EULA though is it.................. its about whether CCP can tolerate the **** storm from public outcry and media frenzy that EVE is being used as a vehicle for certain people to get the rocks off on publiclly humiliating people. Its about CCP preserving their integrity and deciding if they can handle their IP being used as leverage for something that then happens outside of the game world.

Mittani got hosed because of a throw away statement that the media pounced on and CCP had to preserve the moral high ground. The same thing is unfolding here. This is not about internet spaceships anymore, its about the media potentially getting their claws into something that could make CCP look like asshats.............

i like your post. but the last sentence quoted above is highly doubtful regarding the action of ero et al.

don get me wrong here , i was bullied as a kid, rather badly and find the bonus room to be somewhat disgusting but given that it dosent break the tos or the eula....well then.

One thing everyone seems to be forgetting, is how stupid easy it'd be to screw someone else over, if CCP decided they had to police outside of EVE convos.

Lets say I dislike Bob. I'm out to get Bob banned. I convince random guy to log on to mumble with "Hey Bob wants to talk to you". I pretend to be Bob, and throw shenanigans. CCP gets wind, Bob gets bannzed, I laugh.

Once you leave CCPs control, you can't authenticate someone is who they say they are. Anyone can log in to mumble, call themselves LAF, and pretend to be me.

thankyou for your well rounded post sir.

While I hope this protest isn't ever lasting (because I have a lot of respect for people who take action rather than whine on the forum), can I have your stuff just in case?

I say it's time we make a stand and unsub en masse! Unsub from this thread I mean, I woke up to 1300+ notifications. That's not healty behavior ppl! Go do something useful with your time like ganking miners ffs.

I would have worked to set clear guidelines that the alleged scammer knows what's kosher and what's not.

CCP did nothing. Sokhar as a knowing and consenting adult got himself into trouble. If he was 11 years old we'd be having a different conversation.

Biggest mistake of ero et al. was to make that audio recordings public. He killed his "business" and reputation with that. I think he knows that, but he will never admit it.

I would laugh and applaud if someone kicked Erotica1 in the face at a Fanfest.
Nothing illegal about laughing or applauding, nor is it against EULA.

I would also laugh and applaud if Erotica1 was banned from the game.
Again, nothing illegal about laughing or applauding, nor is it against EULA.

Wouldn't you?
