I also hope that you are only 8 years old so that we can at least have some sort of explanation for your actions. Either that, or that you are suffering from some sort of brain deficiency.

While I don't know what were the motives behind this despicable action, whoever did this wanted to frame Gevlon because nobody likes him and won't stand up for him, which makes him the perfect scapegoat. Agree with you there. Despite the fact that I am not at all fond of the man, I will at least say that he isn't stupid enough to do this and then run and take responsibility for it in a tweet.

Yeah it was a Red Alliance dude. The Titan pilot was The Enslaver.

Wait ..wait ...WHAT? OMG when did this happened ? That was like 06/07 when the RA guy did that if I remember correctly. I was around for it but could be a bit off on the date due to how long ago that was. Edit: Looks like above poster found it. 09

Honestly I expected graffiti or something. I imagine it's going to be worse come fanfest when everyone has had a drink. Hopefully they have someone look after it for the duration. At least if it was graffiti it could be cleaned off. Sadly the vandal chose a more permanent method. :(

If this happens, we'll take it as a gesture of good faith after an extremely stupid act that was committed. Well, that's certainly your prerogative and not something I'd consider for even a nanosecond. The thing is, if you're not going to treat this as the red line the crossing of which means an instant and permanent ban for the person responsible, which line will you use? I have a feeling he meant they wouldn't bring the police any further into all of this if the person came forward on their own. Doubt a ban can be avoided in this case.

The build cost isn't the half of it. They hired Sigurdur Gudmundsson to create it, and he isn't just some unknown nobody of an artist. I don't even want to try and guesstimate how much they had to pay him.
JC Anderson Deep Core Mining Inc. Caldari State 1080	Posted - 2014.05.06 06:53:00 - [8] - Quote I've seen many comments as to the fact that they don't see why anybody is making a big deal out of this, and have also expressed that they find it absurd that anybody thinks the individual who did it should face criminal charges. The act was indeed criminal, and the perpetrator deserves to face the full consequence of his or her childish and selfish act of vandalism. 1. The monument, which sits within Reykjavik harbor was donated to and now owned by the city. This alone means that the crime in itself is even worse than had it been a simple case of vandalizing CCP's private property. 2. The monument not only has the names of those alive and active within the game, but includes capsuleers that have passed away in the real world under various circumstances. Even though the name scratched off of the monument is not one of these individuals, the offense is still just the same by the simple fact that they ARE ON IT and part of it as a whole. It wouldn't be a stretch to think that some of these people have friends and family that are in fact upset over this. And they have every right to be if that is the case. 3. The monument was designed by the renowned artist Sigurdur Gudmundsson. Whether you agree with the artistic direction he went with or not, the fact remains that there was an enormous amount of creative effort that went into it. Also related to this is the value of the creation in itself as a work of art by an artist who's work often brings in fairly large amounts of money both in auctions and when purchased directly from a gallery. As I mentioned earlier in the thread, the amount of money that went into hiring Sigurdur Gudmundsson as well as the build costs itself is likely quite a large sum. 4. And finally we should really stop looking at this as an act against Xenuria alone. Yes, that may have been the only name scratched off of it, but the end result is a slight against every single name listed. It is a single work of art, and not just a collection of individual names on a hunk of metal.

Despite having played Eve since 2005, I am in fact surprised by this. As much as people like to look down on Eve players due to our reputation gained, we still have come together numerous times in acts of charity and selflessness. Hell, when Vile Rat was killed, it was EVE players along with some from SA that were there to help support his family with $127,000 in donations over a very short period of time. And on top of that it was a Goon who initially started the fundraiser. Even more remarkable is that the youcaring fundraiser was only one of many charity drives started by Eve players at that same time. http://www.youcaring.com/tuition-fundraiser/benefit-for-sean-smith-s-family/30678

The statue itself is the kind of thing a 3rd world dictator would do. People are also fully justified in watching michael bay and uwe boll movies, wearing popped collars and training as pick up artists. That doesn't make it any less dumb, or deserving of derision. You've obviously never been to Fanfest, otherwise you would realize that EVE Online and CCP as a company are some damn special **** in Reykjavik. The monument isn't a 'lol we're so amazing lololol'. It's a tribute to the amazing impact EVE Online has on Iceland as a country and Reykjavik as a city. EVE Online is one of the biggest export products in Iceland. EVE Fanfest is one of the, if not THE biggest tourist event of the year in Reykjavik. The monument represents the impact of our digital universe on the real lifes of people living in Reykjavik. And that's pretty damn special if you ask me. Was waiting to find a post like this to add to. And say that with as much impact that CCP has in Iceland a possible addition to any punishment for the vandal could include being banned from entering Iceland ever again. And I bet they could accomplish that very easily. And it would be hilarious. LOL Terrorist watch list.

Perhaps CCP believed that a protective covering for the monument was not necessary. It is sad that CCP were mistaken in their belief. Well it is in the cities Harbor, exposed to the elements and anybody else who happens by it.

Be nice to hear something positive round these parts for a change. Last year, Xenuria brought his Mom to FanFest, and she mentioned how much she enjoyed it. This got me thinking, and I asked my Mom (78 years young) if she'd like to visit Iceland. One thing lead to another, and while I was at FF, she was doing all the tours including Sisters of EVE. After FF we decided to kick it up a notch and went on a caving tour in one of the lava tubes. She had a great time but thinks that SOE needs to be a bit more hardcore... Perhaps a special Mothers of EVE tour next year? That is awesome.

They are not allowed to avoid Concord and there are mechanisms in place to prevent them from avoiding Concord. In relation to the rest of your post, this thread isn't about the broader morals in the community. It's about the action of a single (as far as we know) person. This thread doesn't have to be turned into a soapbox against playstyles that you personally find distasteful, because within the thread almost all people, no matter what playstyle they prefer, has expressed a similar view about the act that occurred. Bless you. Legit. Logging into the game right now to send you 100 million isk. A intelligent well articulated response. You're my goddamn hero tonight. (p.s. I've seen someone do it in the Nemesis, so there has to be a way around Concord) Its actually considered an exploit if you find a way to avoid Concord once you have drawn their attention. This has come up in the past as well.

That's the game. That's what the entire game is about. Okay, it's an economic simulator first, but the foundation of the game is "cold and hard." That's the game. It's not going to change. There are many things which need to be addressed, imo. But that's the game. No... Its a spreadsheet that has a remarkable knack for fooling us into thinking it's a game.

IBTL and stuff. Maybe not the organisation itself, but its leader is/was a big stirrer. Again someone who, under my understanding, gave up their job to become a full time attention seeker in eve, took it too far, lost the blur between a fantasy world and reality, and publicly advocated at fanfest to encourage bullying and harassment to the extent of telling a suicidal person to kill themselves. Yeah pretty ** up but hey its EVE its ok because EVE is meant to be a big cold hard world that attracts these ** up individuals to the game and its ok ! - like ***** hell it is. Just because eve is a big bad cold hard world it doesn't being an attention seeking asshats and general douchebaggery in real life. I don't know about the rest of the world, but in the UK now you can be arrested and prosecuted for comments made on places like twitter and social media. As soon as people are made accountable they then think twice about posting racist comments on twitter or slandering others. It HAS happened here in the states as well, but its on a case by case basis since we don't really have a defined set of laws dealing with stuff like that.
