Now go ahead, spill more autism on me.

His name wasn't even scratched out. If I wanted to eradicate Xenuria from a monument, I'd scratch it out entirely. However if I was just an attention ***** scratching my own name, I'd scratch it enough to damage it, but not enough so that nobody can read it anymore - as it was done. Now go ahead, spill more autism on me.

So, there's a couple of things going to happen in this thread right now:

• First - People are going to stop pointing fingers and blaming people. CCP will investigate and take any action against game accounts, along with any legal action that we feel necessary. This is already in progress.
• Second - This is damage of public property in the City of Reykjavik. The police have been informed, and investigation is ongoing. This is not a laughing matter, and will be dealt with as a criminal offence. We are currently reviewing security footage from a number of surrounding buildings.
• Third - People will stop attacking the victim of this on our forums. It's not funny, it's not clever. Take your rumor mongering and personal attacks away from our community. If you choose not to, you'll be removed from the community, permanently. It's a simple as that. We will not tolerate victimization.

What's happened is absolutely disgusting. It's an insult to the entire community and is clearly the work a person who believes that behavior in a virtual world is a valid reason to make a real life personal attack on someone, and deface public property.

So, there's a couple of things going to happen in this thread right now:


With that in mind, I'll make a simple one time offer, that if the person who defaced the monument wants to come forward and contact me relating to this, then they can do so by EVE mailing my Dev character. If this happens, we'll take it as a gesture of good faith after an extremely stupid act that was committed.

With this in mind, be sure to keep this thread on topic, and cut out the personal attacks and finger pointing. People who break the rules will lose their forum posting privileges. Permanently.

Thanks.

Dont push CCP Falcon.

Gesture of good faith ? again CCP that's a sign of weakness right there. The individual should be prosecuted and jailed or sent for therapy.

I don't see why your so surprised ?

Im not one dam bit surprised this happened.

I don't see why your so surprised ? in a game which harbours the worst in humans, rewards bad behaviour, applauds underhand deceit, then surely this is the norm ?

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.

It's not legitimite to judge the people this way.


It's not #FirstWorldProblems.


Recognize the fact that Reykjaviks property intentionally got damaged
and there is a cost involved in the repairment of this property.
...

Of course, goons defacing the monument with their logo was all in good fun?

So... PLEX for tile replacement? Unless the guy who did this is offering to pay for a new one out of his own pocket that is.

Dude, dead women and children, please.

So because some parts of the world are so backward that they commit atrocities such as those in Syria, we should all judge our own country's people's behaviour by their low standard? I could use your argument to justify practically anything, as there is almost always something else worse going on the world.

That's not how it works. There is no excuse for defacing this monument.

Agreed, though I cant really think of many countries who havent done similar things to themselves at one time or another

I fear all a barrier will do is remind people for years to come that Eve players were unable to build a monument without their own kind defacing it.
That monument is for all of us including CCP and all the work they have put in over the years. Every time the monument is permanently damaged it reflects on all of us as a community.
