This was shortly after I created my own corporation about a year and a half ago:
Chapter 1:
New to the CEO thing, one quickly learns of the recruitment channel. About a week 15 new corp members later, I had recruited a...let's say unique...new EVE player who seemed quiet intelligent and promising at the time.
I logged on the next day to 3 incoming private conversations from my corp members including my director who had complaints about this new guy. In short they revealed he was a bit of a toss and full of himself, viciously insulting his corp members and he was apparently more or less 10 years old in RL when he hopped on our TS. He demanded several corp roles and cried and raged so hard when I simply said no.
As a new CEO, I tried to keep him around and wrote him warning emails detailing what he had done wrong and why I was warning him and what I expected of my corp members. I tried to be the good guy, holding my tongue, gritting my teeth. The third time it happened, he had decided it was a good idea to try and get us recruited by a major alliance and embarrassed us completely. I was furious that he had gone over my authority and kicked him immediately and banned him from TS, much to the approval of my corp members.
So enraged by this, he returned to our corp recruitment channel and spewed the worst insults his 10 year old mind could come up with. Immediate ban from our channel. Numerous insulting emails later, I block him.
Chapter 2:
About two weeks after this, I was spamming in the EVE recruitment channel drinking a cold one as one does. In an interval of no spam, a character I had never seen or heard of before come into the channel and says he is looking for a war dec corp in our corp home region. I didn't think to much of it and continued spamming. This character just lets loose into me and my corp ad at no provacation! Profanities and insults fill the channel, all directed at me. From the style and spelling/grammar errors I deduct it's the original guys alt! I just tell him to shut up and go and play WOW. *Rage and profanity intensifies*
A pair of other chat dwellers begin to lay into him and ask him if he is mad and such. He begins to direct his attacks onto them. I told the channel why he was so angry; he was 10 years old IRL and whined when he wasn't granted roles in my corp. The big trolls began to stir. Apparently, I'm justified by my actions and they side with me against him. It turned sinister very quickly as the alt began to spew RL threats at me. It's enough to bring the remaining channel spam to a complete halt. Ah.. it was glorious. All the trolls came out to play and tore him to pieces. I remember sometime in the commotion I said "Watch how he attacks those around him in a fit of noobishness."
I believe he ragequit soon after that comment. I haven't seen him log in to this day. Not sure if he was banned for RL threats or what.
I recruited about 10 great corp members who had witnessed this hilarity and decided I was a fun CEO. Hint: The fitting you are trying to save has corrupted data. Cattle is not a ship. |
