Who is jester and why should anyone care?

a tremendous loss for the Eve community.

The Tipper Gore of Eve Online.

This is unfair. Tipper Gore is no way, shape, or form, smart enough to play Eve. To compare anyone in this game to that bimbo is an insult against all of us. Take it back!

Good riddance Rippard.

Please dont come back.

The community is better off without you

You forgot to change alts between posting?

Eve has been decaying for a while, most notably in null. If Seagull caves to the highsec carping brigade there won't be anyone left heavily invested. This is the point critics keep missing. Nullsec has been dying a slow death for years.

And nothing of value was lost.

Did I just read an informative Dinsdale post? Yes I did.

You have this game. 20% of your players get it right, stay for 4 years, then leave. 80% of your players never get it right, stay for 2 years, and leave.

Some claim that the way to improve the game is to make the 20% stay for 6 years rather than 4 (more better PvP)
Some claim that the way to improve the game is to get rid of the 80% altogether (but CCP may disagree to downsize)
Some claim that the way to improve the game is to lure the 80% into becoming part of the 20% so the split is like 70-30 or 60-40 (that's what CCP is attempting)
Some claim that the way to improve the game is to provide the 80% with all they want and screw the 20% (but I never found anyone seriously claiming that)
Some claim that the way to improve the game is to lure a new demographic who would rather walk an avatar than fly a spaceship so the game becomes 80+20+40 (but those are mostly dead)
Some claim that the way to improve the game is to make the 80% stay for 4 years rather than 2 (more better PvE)

EVE is complex and there is no simple solution, and what all the above have in common is that they will rather kill EVE and sabotage each other than let anyone else save the game...

Here's a list of MMOs that didn't die after abandoning their existing playerbase and design ethos to chase a new market by copying everyone else:

From Wikipedia

She attended St. Agnes (now St. Stephen's & St. Agnes School), a private Episcopal school in Alexandria, Virginia, where she excelled in athletics and played the drums for an all-girl band, The Wildcats.[2]

She played sports and beat on things. Here in 'merica, that's a celebrity.

This really is Infinite Ziona.

Hey guys, look who I spotted!

Hmm tempted to send you your own paranoid response, though Im sure you have your evidence like I have mine about that other thing.

Still, this one is not as vitriolic and hatefilled towards everyone yet, so that's probably why I havent seen it.

And yes, I appreciate the hypocrisy in calling anyone else vitriolic and hatefilled.

Its just what makes me so so sweet and loveable

Ripard was probably one of the best ambassadors for the game EvE Online ever had.

I remember Eternum from the past and although I didn't scan through his posts,
he doesn't try to project domination onto everybody, like Salvos did.


This, otoh ... well ... besides the posts, one actually needs only to compare older portraits of IZ with this one.

I'll make sure to save a local copy...

IZ

hmm.. I'm not sure. The posts lack the bad grammar and poor spelling... but then I didn't search too deeply. I mean there are some spots, but it seems more intentional and thought out, while less condescending in general. Well, if IZ does surface in some form, I don't think he/she will be able to conceal his identity for very long, certain meltdown given enough time.
Then we'll know

I want to add that you people mentioning this will make IZ aware of it,
leading to changing her behaviour.
