This is mad.
First, why isn't this in OoPE?
Seriously, I don't care about CYVOK's real life. It has no place here at all.
I am sure he is a great guy in rl, just like he is sure I am a 14yr old, quakeplaying, social misfit, who has to cheat at games to help forget I live in my mom's basement.
It has nothing to do with the game, or the characters. Why was it included in the post?
Next.
CYVOK (who is just a character in a game remember) was not a nice person. Look at the accusations he threw at anyone who did better than him, be it G, or BoB, or whoever.
Don't give me that "he built an alliance" stuff, because it is just focusing on the wrong end of it. I prefer "his paranoid delusions, insecurity, and lack of ability, directly contributed to the demise of Eve's largest alliance ... TWICE".
Onwards.
The spite and mallice of Eve is offending him?
Riiiiight.
Because CYVOK was ever the diplomat, wasn't he?
Oh, no .. actually it would seem he was one of the worst offenders, oh the irony!
Petition much?
"Your rattle leaves the pram, wrecking the floor for tantrum damage".
Seriously, WTF!?!
So you lost a ship to a noobie mistake?
We've all done it - I fell asleep and lost a HAC at a gate during this war, and I got ribbed for it for a while. Did I make up some crazy bug and petition it? Or lie to my corp and alliance to cover up my own stupidity?
Of course not, why would I?
Sure a Titan is a bit more of an investment than a HAC, but it is useless anyway right, so what's the big deal?
BoB got what they want, why moan?
Well, there is a big difference between wanting to beat someone in-game and wanting to force them out of it.
I don't think anyone in BoB actually wants to force anyone in Eve out of the game, just out of their (our) space.
If you can't see the difference then maybe you need to step away from the keyboard for a while.
This whole saga in the history of Eve has seen the bluring of "in game" and "out of game" in a way that I find disturbing.
Now ASCN would have you believe that it is BoB that are responsible for this, but I think otherwise. ASCN have repeatedly purposefully played that angle in their posts, and by doing so have created the monster they now complain about.
Lastly:
As the player behind the character was mentioned in the OP, I will say this to him:
I honestly hope this break helps restore you enjoyment of Eve.
If the day ever comes that we meet in a bar, the first drink is on me.
I feel absolutely no ill feeling towards you as a person. Anything your character might have said or implied I can accept and forgive. Eve as a game can be a huge investment of not only time but emotion, and it can affect us in ways we would rather it didn't.
We are not our avatars (no pun intended).
QFT.
Pretty much says what i wanted to say,but couldnt express it with words.
