Surprisingly, you'll find that courts have ruled that IP addressees are not evidence, at least in the US. They're too easily faked. |

Defacing property is so much more serious than attempting to end someone's life in the world of goons? You do know that Mittens would have been looking at jail time if CCP or what's his name had pressed charges, right?
Reiisha wrote: Also, what's with people claiming this is just spaceship shenanigans? If i come over and blow up your kitchen because of a difference we have in EVE, does that mean i go free 'because it's just because of a game'?
Actually damaging something in RL, whether it's just a scratch or dropping a nuke on it, is a crime in any country.
Because CCP threw wide the gates to this sort of thing not coming down like a tone of bricks on mittens. After all, if doing power points to manipulate someone into taking their own life isn't a serious crime, vandalism is hardly worth talking about. |

So, he didn't get on stage and present a power point presentation geared toward harassing someone until they committed suicide? (A very, very serious form of internet harassment that carries the maximum sentence, and at the very least can be argued as intent to commit even if proof could not be offered that he had indeed done such a thing)

Can you help me out?
Ha. As to which one applies it would depend on the victims location. The US has this weird thing that they consider the 'location' of crimes committed involving the internet to not be where the person committing the crime was, but where the victim was. So which applies is a good question, I admit, and might not apply at all, if they were located in the right jurisdiction.
This is why they get things like United States v. ElcomSoft and Dmitry Sklyarov and the whole Kim Dotcom debacle. So far, all the cases tried under this (that I know of) have been either plea bargained or the case dropped. I'll be honest, it would be interesting to see someone move the whole way through the system on this one without a plea bargain to see if this holds up under scrutiny or not, and on of the reasons that I've been watching the Megaupload thing closely. Megaupload was located in Hong Kong, and about as far from US sovereignty as one can get.
And unlike the average guy, they have the money to fight.

Again, feel free to come here and commit a crime in front of the Seneca Marshals. They WILL arrest you and DO have the power to do so. The court DOES have the power to punish your ass, and you DO NOT have rights under the law but the one's OUR laws give you as long as you are on OUR sovereign territory.
It's why you can't get a mortgage in Salamanca, but China was willing to lend us half a billion dollars.

And if you actually live on Seneca lands, then you should be well aware that regardless of the number of treaties the US government might need to break in order to impugn our Sovereignty, they'll do it, so asking them might not be too good of an idea to back up our claim that we are a confederacy of free nations.
Yes, I do (though at the moment am Down in Pennsylvania for work), I know that, I still remember back to 1998. (LOL @ potentially ones of others. We probably have more if we count the guys in Oklahoma)
Though, point of fact, that's true of any country that if they decide to pick on their smaller neighbors, they're gonna do it, treaties or no. Look at what's going on in Eastern Europe right now.
But this asshat is insisting that SNI is NOT a 'real' country. I find that deeply offensive. I've been to the National Library and National Museum. They suck, but we have them. I bet if we were white like Luxembourg he'd have no problem with us being a nation. |

By that logic, The only nations in Europe are France, England, and Germany, and the only thing in Eastern Europe is Russia.
I think it safe to say that all those people would be deeply offended if you compared their countries to Denver Broncos fans. Indeed, I think it safe to say that CCP might take offense if you pointed out Iceland existed only at the sufferance of Denmark.
Xavier Higdon wrote: And the fact that we went from being nearly exterminated to owning some of the most lucrative casinos in the country just makes some people jealous.
Personally I think it's the fact we finally figured away to turn their greed against them. Used to be that no one ever wanted to go to see a native, unless it was to try and cheat us some how. Now we have to hire buses to transport them all, and they come in and just give us their money. One million dollars a day in profit. And are happy about it. That's the part that blows my mind.
Why didn't we think of this sooner? |

Oh, and Iceland exists solely at the sufferance of NATO, big difference. You also forgot Spain and Italy in your list. And it doesn't particularly bother me if it offends them to be compared to Denver Broncos fans. "I'm offended" has long since changed it's meaning into "I can't disprove what you said but it hurt my feelings anyway", for which I am truly, utterly unrepentant.
It's not like I haven't heard ad nauseum how much America sucks. If it gets dished out, it gets dished out to everybody. That's what fair really is.
I hate to ask, but it's it's not greed that draws people to casinos, what is? The buffet?
Let me be really blunt: No one ever wanted to come to a reservation, and for good damn reason. A lot of them used to be the sort of hell you normally would only find in places like Rwanda. No one ever came there of their own free will except various people over the years who (mostly) tried to cheat us. or murder us. Or do any number of other unpleasant things. Greedy people swarmed on them like flies on a corpse and hoped that the US government would back whatever scam they were pushing.
You might note, I did not say 'white people'. It might be too fine a distinction for you, but greed comes in all colors.
And our wars are fought in the board room now, rather than the battlefield. We bring our enemies low, not with a war club, but with a better product, cheaper.
As far as Spain, I think it safe to say that Napoleon and Wellington disproved that.
And, btw: NATO, in the past, has generally adopted a hands off policy when two member states have a 'dispute' and tend to palm the issue off on the UN. It's when a nonmember state invades a member that they get... upset. It still requires the member state to last long enough to invoke article 5 of the Washington treaty, and even then what aid gets sent might not be what they were looking for. |

Rhiannon Marius wrote:Um you guys realize that country and nation are not the same thing right? There are many recognized native american nations but no recognized native american countries.
Point of fact, a country can exist without sovereignty.
The Seneca Nation was recognized as a sovereign state in an act of US Congress. That's really all that's technically required. There are all sorts of shades that follow, and this is probably not the forum for a discussion of international politics and all the dog and pony shows that go along with it, but in a nutshell all that's really required is that one or more other countries recognize it as sovereign. This was the issue China had with the UN for many years was they were NOT recognized, even though they were the de facto rulers of China.
I dunno if this helps explain this at all, but basically we're sovereign because we have paper that says so. In theory we could have our own armies and prisons etc, we have the money, but at the moment the status quo is to the benefit of all parties. We sit back and make lots of money, and slowly buy back our territory from the US. It's slow going, but we've been making headway buying up Buffalo and Niagara Falls, and are working on other areas. |

What "enemies"? What "wars"? Are you being serious? That sounds like something you took out of a South Park episode.
I was speaking a bit metaphorically, but to put it simply, instead of marching armies across boarders and seizing land, we're just buying it off them. If a company tries to pollute our lands, we run them out of business. We work with unions to picket their plants. We broadcast their names on our media outlets and unleash muckraking journalists followed by lawyers. We shut down political opponents not by taking their hair, but, by looking like the good guys because we open businesses in their area and employ the people that they couldn't get jobs. |

Grand total the Seneca come to something like 25k people. More when you get into 'unregistered' natives and sub groups like the Minqua. You're looking at several million factoring in the League. (The Western Door isn't just the name of our franchise of steak houses)

I'm aware it was sarcasm, however, mine wasn't.
The typical reaction would be to abruptly close ranks and keep repeating the official alliance line, whatever it might be, and to troll anyone who pointed out that they had just been screaming for the culprits blood. There might be an apology trotted out and the person involved might quietly be demoted or tossed from the alliance.
This would not even be unique to goons. Just about every alliance in game more or less responds the same way.
It would be hilarious if it was though. I'd love to watch all of them suddenly backpedal when their bosses jerk the leash.

You have to understand that the internet is all the garbage under the skin of civility that society forces on people. If you want to see how people really are, what really goes on in their heads, without an inhibition, look around these forums.

There was never a point where anyone tried to hide that he had been in GSF, in fact quite the opposite.
You might get a laugh, but I missed the entire Erotica thing, and am sort of glad I did. What little I've heard sounds entirely sordid, and frankly, and I grant this is based on very incomplete information, I'm sure, GSF needs to take a long hard look at the sort of people it's attracting.
I can remember a time, a very long time ago now, it seems, that goons were respected instead of reviled. That the arrival of goons in system was seen as a positive thing. However, most of those goons, the few that I knew, have long since left Eve. |

Let's break it down for you
Some people in this thread have been saying that these incidents are the result of CCP's permissive attitude towards "sociopathic behavior" in their game.
I assume that "sociopathic behavior" refers to suicide ganking and scamming.
Might want to take a look at the response by eve players toward the dusties. There's a lot of 'I got mine, and you guys can go to hell' going on.
Andski wrote: Those people are wrong because the waitstaff, bartenders, bouncers, maitres d' and others who have hosted EVE fans in their bars, restaurants and hotels tend to only ever have good things to say about the Fanfest attendees who patronize their businesses. They're wrong because these incidents aren't the norm at Fanfest.
That isn't to say that these people would complain to CCP about Fanfest attendees doing bad things in their restaurants, but the people of Reykjavik are quite closely-knit and word of EVE fans tearing **** up in bars and restaurants or checking out of hotels with their rooms torn to shreds and their credit cards cancelled would get around quickly.
Remember, Jeffrey Dahmer's neighbors thought he was a great guy, too. Just because someone is a sociopath does not mean they walk down the street destroying all in their path and killing everyone they meet. Those guys get caught and dealt with fairly quickly.
Look at the utter lack of basic humanity shown by posters on this very board. The automatic response to personal tragedy and general bad **** happening to people is to ridicule and show near zero empathy. It's practically a breeding ground for anti-social behaviors.
So, no, it is absolutely NOT surprising that this happened. Bluntly, I'm surprised the vandalism was so restrained.

After the whole thing with Erotica, it surprises you that you might have actual sociopaths among you?
Eve has had in game behaviors like this for years. They actively encourage it. But the idea that players might act out on it in real life shocks you?
History time, kiddies.
Goons (and not just those in 'goon swarm', but the entire extended goon family all the way back to Something Awful) have been dancing with the possibility of real world repercussions for years. Hell, your illustrious founder has received more death threats than Fidel Castro.
To be honest, the fact that more of you have not suffered some sort of real world repercussions, especially those foolish enough to have had their real names and faces published, is surprising. Particularly with things like the time the Second Life branch of goons, for example, had the delightful sense of taste to create an entire replica of the burning World Trade Center towers, complete with falling bodies, according to Wired.
Do you think that sort of Karma does not eventually come back around to bite you, somehow? |

Yes it is a crime, but to the people who this monument commemorates its is indeed an insult to their accomplishments. As said, it isn't for you to define if this is indeed meaningful or not, and if it really bothers you that much that others do, then the solution seems quite simple...ignore it.

The best they found they could so was to spray some graffiti on the side of the house, that I just as quickly painted over. |

So you have bullet proof windows yet it's other people who have issues?
I've been subject to actual death threats from felons I've arrested and I don't have bullet proof windows dude. At some point (hopefully) a person should come to the conclusion that it's not the rest of the universe that is cracked.
No, in this case it's common sense. The stained glass windows are 20 feet tall, and cost 30k dollars each, at a discount. Imagine a bird hitting that, or, (as I live about five doors from a school) the more typical punk kid throwing rocks. |

Serious mental issues? OK, Doctor... if you say so.
A lot of them it doesn't take a doctor to spot something seriously wrong with some of these people. The guys who neglect their families to play video games? Yeah, not good there, though the one who tried to have sex and run PvP at the same time still stands out in my mind. The two player suicides I know of? Might have had some problems. Cosmic Horror was in a relationship abusive enough that her boyfriend at the time had a friend of his beat her till she miscarried (she was close to where I am and I visited her at the hospital). There was a guy in aridia back in the day who would spam bestiality **** in local that made even Duckeye's worst transgressions against the Minmatar chat channel look mild. It was one of the few good things about BoB running up into Fountain did was I never saw him again.
Now, granted, this is over ten years, and just the worst offenders. But yeah. |

Clearly the 30-40k that are logged in at any given time are always the exact same players regardless of the time Of course, no one would be stupid enough to believe that we have half a million players that log in once every five days on average. I have five accounts active now, and thanks to my work schedule I can log in for a decent amount of time for 2-3 consecutive days out of every 5 or so. So yeah, it happens.
I think he was talking about the average Concurrency numbers, which are down. Further, I suspect, but am not certain, that 500k includes all the servers, not just Tranquility. |
