Bottom line should be:

Course a) status quo.. Just cost is 700 subscriptions with more that could follow when their billing cycle is up.
Course b) remove the cancer just cost us 7 subs and some backlash in the forums.

Hmmm I'd sooner stroke my beard and nod sagely at the ragers and keep 693 accounts subscribed.

Codifying how a or b happens is a waste of time an effort. All effort out into to do so will relate a reason for 7 or 8 people to meta game work around a and loop holes tying up people trying to explain why that was not original intent.


Let's be honest, you've done it before and will Do it again because you're so boringly obnoxious obvious

*golf clap*

Move along and go cry I to your beer on your own

Rest of us are enjoying the game thanks.

Option 4: get elected to CSM and then use my blog and community visibility to single out a player I don't agree with and get them banned.

My words seem to be invisible.

Erotica1 committed activities out of game that would be considered a TOS/EULA infraction in-game. He used in-game tools to facilitate these actions.

The analogies being used here thus don't apply. Calling someone's fit "bad" a single time is not a EULA infraction by today's standard.

Additionally in such situations you cannot link the person in Teamspeak back to a real character. In the case of Erotica1 you can. CCP has logs that will show the Erotica1 character instructing players to join a certain Teamspeak channel. If these players can (perhaps they did) present evidence showing the time in which they joined said channel and the contents there-in, Erotica1 can be deemed guilty beyond a reasonable doubt as any other conclusion as to the identity of the person in Teamspeak claiming to Erotica1 is unreasonable.

I hope you guys see the difference and why this won't apply to you trolling miners or whatever other ridiculous thing you're afraid to do now.

Anyone who thinks this is what happened is a delusional ass

Oddly enough this is exactly what happened. If Ripard hadn't posted on his blog about it no one would have cared.

EVE needs is less of this, and more of this.

It makes me sad seeing a game that was once known as the bad boy of MMOs become so pussified, if you can't stand the heat the island awaits.

Bullshit, there was obviously already a CCP investigation ongoing, nobody makes a decision that fast.

And secondly, you are an idiot if you do not recognize that filth like E1 made the environment toxic for themselves... they poored the gas over their own bodies, and the match was going to get lit sooner or later

Yup. The only good thing a CSM rep has ever done , in my humble CSM hating opinion.

Mr Epeen

This happened over a month ago & had already been reported on, funnily enough no one cared until Ripard posted on his blog about it. Coincidence? No. The same thing happened with The Mittani, no one cared until a certain person posted about it on the internet. I find your insinuation that literally nobody can make a decision in 3 days amusing.

Its obvious a whole lot of people cared before hand.... they just didn't care enough or have enough evidence to really battle the hardcore dickhead forum dwelling scum that tends to try and drown out voices of reason and humanity.

AND hey, look at that we have a the same kind of people who defended publicly urging and insulting a guy to commit suicide, bitching and moaning about a harassment ban.

Go figure.

GTFO troll

Hokay dumbass, you can still gank miners, missioners, and scam people... stop bitching and moaning like a little ***** yourself

Why would my issues, be them as they are, get any less consideration than Sohkar's?

But it's not as fun when too many spineless justice warriors who have no business playing a game like this in the first place cry so much that CCP is forced to slowly but surely turn EVE into a nanny state, kind of defeats the atmosphere this game is known for.

So really who's the dumbass here, someone who embraces EVE for what it is, or someone who crys until it's changed into something more "civilized" because they can't handle the heat.

I guess the truth hurts.

I see tears alright. Tears for a conspiracy 'slippery slope' theory that has not and will not ever happen in this game.

Protip: Despite what some people might mistakenly think, harassing other players is not part of the advertising

Its barely worth responding to idiots like you, who cannot see the difference between being able to shoot someone any time... and taking human depravity to the next level of stupid.

I disagree; The use of "aggression and intimidation"* designed solely to destroy your opponent's will; To make them not even want to log in is the cornerstone of SOV warfare.

You like to throw emotionally-charged words around as much as Ripard Teg....



* The definition of harassment, in case you're interested.

EVE needs less of this, and more of this.

It makes me sad seeing a game that was once known as the bad boy of MMOs become so pussified, if you can't stand the heat the island awaits.

Do that, see how much traction it gets.

And if your failure to accomplish anything doesn't prove your idiocy to you, nothing will.

Its obvious a whole lot of people cared before hand.... they just didn't care enough or have enough evidence to really battle the hardcore dickhead forum dwelling scum that tends to try and drown out voices of reason and humanity.

[And the amount of alliances that have held sov, lost all of it, reformed as something different and come back, do not help your case.

How about not starting witch hunts over pointless crap? Remember you don't want to weaponize the forums because there are groups that are much more organized and capable than you :smug:.

I think you're missing the mark a lil.

We need less of all those and more of this.
