Sorry Trebor but I think you're using a convenient excuse to side step questions. I don't see anyone arguing semantics, I see them looking for clear guidance and getting fed bullshit. Eve is a brutally harsh game and we are all here because we like to bite the pillow. The real question is how far are we willing to let things ago -how much is too much? I don't agree with the way that a lot of people play Eve, but Eve is a sandbox so I have to be willing to at least put up with all forms of game play. But if limits are going to be set then let's define them so there is no ambiguity. Sandbox: An enclosed area filled with sand for children engaged in open-ended, unstructured, imaginative play.

W space residents frequently evict corporations and alliances that do not PVP. So if we gank some w space dwellers, they cry about it in local, and then we decide to invade their system and evict them are we going to get banned for it? It will take days to get enough ships in system, and grinding down towers will take at least a day, during which we will be "torturing" those poor "victims" who have already let us know that we are doing emotional harm to them...
Sorry CCP, but I think you've set a bad precedent with this one. I don't agree with what Erotica 1, or any of the miner bumping crowd, does -it's the real world equivalent of going to a play ground and beating up special needs kids. But Eve is a sandbox, and if you want to keep it that way then it's tough to set limits on what people do as long as their conduct isn't illegal. Everyone is talking about Erotica 1 like he's some kind of mass murderer, and yet the death threats made by Sokar aren't even mentioned at all by CCP !?

Ok, why?

Why? Here!That makes it perfectly clear. However, I can't use your common sense for you.
Go back and read Trebor's post again and ask yourself if ganking someone again, after they have already gone ballistic in local once, is now against the rules? My common sense tells me that it is, but no one on the CSM or at CCP will spell it out. There are a lot of people playing this game just to get "tears" but it seems to me that pushing someone to the point where they snap is now against the rules. So how long before suicide ganking, scamming in trade hubs, etc. is also banned. Where does it end.
Also keep in mind that the "victim" willingly participated in Erotic 1's twisted game. A real torture victim is restrained and has no choice...
I really think that common sense went completely out the window when Jester made a big deal out of all this on his blog. He wrote that piece on Erotica1 knowing how the high sec care bear community was going to respond, and it was tabloid journalism at its finest -deserving of a slow golf clap...

Eve is more simulation than game. I firmly believe that if you put people into the same environment as Pod pilots you'd have exactly what we now have in the "game".
Last, but certainly not least, if you do not like what someone in Eve is doing then get together with a group of like minded people and do something in game about it other than cry to CCP to change the rules. Unfortunately crying seems to be the prevalent form of emergent game play lately... Sandbox: An enclosed area filled with sand for children engaged in open-ended, unstructured, imaginative play.

As for me, I honestly don't care. There doesn't get to be a "hissy fit shield". If you don't want to get ganked, then you know what to do.
...and that is exactly my point: if you don't like something then do something about it other than cry to CCP... Sandbox: An enclosed area filled with sand for children engaged in open-ended, unstructured, imaginative play. Also a place for cats to urinate and defecate... |

Vaju Enki wrote:So let me get this straight, a very famous EvE Online blogger that's also a member of the CSM used his influence and power to start a witch-hunt on another player, for something that happened outside of the game that he condemns. In is moral high ground blog he harassed and persecuted the player, until a shitstorm thread started on the EvE Online forums, where he continued the witchcraft trial. The thread was closed and the player got banned.
This makes total sense to me...

The duality of that box of sand is spelled out in my signature... I condone griefers and gankers and any other way people find to blow up spaceships and take ISK, its all part of Eve. But when it goes beyond that, which in this case it clearly did, we need to stand together and say 'not here, not in the game we love' and put an end to it. I find Sohkars reaction a bit puzzling but not shocking, alot of people snap under such strain. But that is aside the point, Eve should remain a game in new eden, not one that spills onto other media forms and turns to harassment. That is just my view, I don't want to argue it, I just wanted to express it. (by griefers I mean within the CCP ruleset of gameplay, not by directed harassment).
But it wasn't harassment -Sokar volunteered to play Erotica 1's sick game.
Could we not all "stand up" by going after people like Erotica 1 in game? Could we not station people in trade hubs and warn newbies about the scams? Why does CCP need to ban someone who, IMHO, did not violate any existing rule? Why did CCP not ban someone who clearly did violate an existing rule? Thing that make you go hmmm.

Well - the nuggest here is " Why does CCP need to ban someone who, IMHO, did not violate any existing rule?". Basically it's what the rules say and how CCP interpret them that matters - your opinion of them is irrelevant.

Ero1 got all the stuff from that dude BEFORE the game started, are there any proofs online for that bonus room actually yielding winners? actual APIs showing facts and numbers and not random alts posting replies? We don't have those, as far as I know. so we take classic eve scammer approach and we say that the scam was concluded as soon that the victim gave all of his stuff to Ero1 and then we ask why to run this bonus room for over 2 hours when no further gain can be made in in-game assets? for Lol'z and Giggles for the scammer. what's the point then?
I'm not defending the way that Erotica 1was playing the game, but I am questioning CCP's reaction to it. Since Erotica1 was banned for breaking a fuzzy rule the Sokar should be banned for breaking one that was clearly defined (making a death threat).

If you don't like Erotica1 and what she did, fair enough. But to abuse his privileged position to push for an individual user to be banned, and then to write a highly inflammatory piece - one which resorts to hysterics and evocations of literal torture - and spreading it around news media when CCP didn't agree with him... that's just revolting on so many levels.

Probe Patrol rocks. I was renting one of your C2 WH and really liked the pilots. My old corp is still there. I gave away my toons sine I wasnt getting any satisfaction from CCP about my issue. I even had letters from other pilots supporting my cause and saying that the dude was over the top. I'm still waiting for some sort of response from CCP, but am feeling a bit bent out of shape since I can't use my old toons that I'd trained for over a year a each. I think my request for toon renaming was very reasonable.
