Sad to see you go Cyvok. Your leaving will make Eve a lot less interesting. Can't say I blame you though and I am sure more than a few of us won't be far behind.

Originally by: Ambre Blanche .... this game shouldn't be the exclusive playground of PvPers and Griefers, whatever they say. Peaceful people should be able to build things in deep space, with no other purpose than to make it even more beautiful...
Yes; you should able to build beautiful things in Space, but if you are looking for peaceful then you're in the wrong place. Equally, you should be able to defend the beautiful things you build. Yes: this place most defiantley should be the playground of PvPers, it's not SIMs on-line, its a cold hard universe, and nobody loves you. It was created specifically to be a playground for PvPers, be it throwing large rocks at each other or through industrial competition. There are a thousand ways to get round the greifers, and if you think this game has less/more greifers than other games then you need to pull your head out the sand.
Don't get the impression that ASCN are merely peaceful constructionists that wanted to build nice shiny stuff in deep space. They have stomped at least one region of equally 'peaceful' people that possed no real threat to them. Why? Same reason we do. Growth. As old 'empires' fall, new ones emerge or existing ones grow. It might happen to BoB one day, we might stay here until the servers power down. If it does happen to us, then i should imagine the newer force will well deserve it for spanking us silly.

Take a break, get RL sorted, and come back to Eve Cyvok. You are one of the big Gears that powers this EvE machine. I don't know you personally, but I was in Xetic, and even though I was one of 23433234 corps as someone put it...we all fought for you and the dream. I've read/heard too many great things about your achievements. The pioneers of EvE we don't need to lose.
Godspeed

Farewell, Cyvok. Never met you outside of combat, but I wish you well in your future endeavors, and hope you can once again enjoy EVE despite the chore it had become in the alliance leadership position.
Just an interesting side note, is body count inc. going to be like a retiring home for alliance leaders? Hmm...

And you would mine 3 days for someone who managed to loose the Titan in such reckless, careless manner? who shows no appreciation for the work invested into getting it for him?
nothing to say really.. just amazing is ppl's stupidity
and Generally I agree with Avon.. too many people try to look at his good sides, rather than the bad. What is it, did he die IRL?? lol..
*Shrugs*
**** happens, ships get blow up. You build new ships. Who cares. The fact that so many people drove that misstep into making him into the biggest idiot of the universe, is lame. And if I had a dime for every time I've seen someone on this (or a few other) forum have the inability to respectfully disagree, I'd own Tranquility by now.
The difference is, when I see fellow souls suffer a setback, I strive to be the one who helps them right themselves. That's just how I am. Ask many of the folks whom I've helped since I started playing. Oh wait you can't, most of them don't come in this forum. That, makes them smarter than me tbh. So seriously, and I do mean this, if anyone at ASCN has a "Steve II" project in the works to try to get the man to stay around, Evemail me, I'm in.
To those who think I am stupid, you have the right to feel that way. Silently. Have a nice day. :) --------- Gallente need ONE ship with an ecm bonus option. JUST ONE. |

Quote "It was created specifically to be a playground for PvPers,"
Where is that stated at? The purpose of 0.0 is for Corps and or Alliances to build their own empire for what ever reason they see fit. Its there for players to make it what ever they wish.
Hats off to you Cyvok for building a empire created from a thought and the will of people to follow. Remember Its always darkest before the Dawn.
I myself have had the pleasure of leading very large guilds in other games and it can become more of a job than most can even imagine. The sole purpose of any game is for people to have fun, nothing more.

There's a reason why people can attack you without consequences in 0.0, and they can even attack you in 1.0, if they accept the consequences. If EVE was a PvE game, this would not be possible, as you would not be able to lock onto people, because you might shoot them.
Also, even through those differences, if 0.0 was meant to be as 'safe' as 1.0, why isn't it actually "1.0"?
You accepted the risks and consequences when settling in any 0.0 region. If you want to be able to build anything in there you ahve to be ready and able to defend it, it's that simple, harsh as it may be.
EVE has been made around the concept of 'player driven content', and by definition that is PvP. Or you have to explain to me how players can make PvE content without breaking into CCP headquarters, coding the content and putting it on the server.

there isnt a person in this game who doesnt know cyvok (unless hes nubins)thats an acheivement in itself, to receieve Recognition and respect from those you played against is another acheivement, in the end it doesnt matter how many outposts you built, it matters only that your name is recognised by 150 thousand people (an educated guess byt he amount of active accounts in eve) be shamed not for what has been lost, for it is small compared to the gain of recognitiona nd respect. GL in your future and may we see you again.

I don't know Cyvok personally but sad to see him go. He did a great job leading ASCN imo.
If it was real life that made him leave, then I'm glad he has his priorities straight. ___

I've been thinking about this a bit since Cyvok's announcement to resign came out. And reading the tributes flooding in etc with interest.
Over the last year I grew to respect the leadership of ASCN for what they were able to build. It was incredibly impressive.
His behaviour during this war has been quite frankly incredibly childish. Make no mistake, BoB have also acted like children, but I lost all respect for Cyvok as a character and as a person when he claimed in his resignation that the titan loss was caused by a bug. I'll state here and now that should it be found that it was actually a bug, and the titan is returned, I'll eat my own ****. I can state that because like every single other person in Eve, I can see from all the information available (and there is a lot) that this was not caused by a bug.
To take your resignation, a moment where you could have walked away the bigger man, retaining some dignity, and to once again sink to the depths of baseless accusations, providing no explanation, no evidence, no theory, reveals you to be a somewhat sad fellow.
As a person, I wish you well. Hope you get back on your feet soon, and to be honest I think empire will be good for you....you can get back to ENJOYING Eve, instead of simply struggling to get through what would have been an administrative nightmare for sure.
Let me be clear: Cyvok's presence in Eve has made this game, this universe a much much better place. His accomplishments should be applauded.
However real heroes, indeed real leaders, admit their mistakes.
Good luck Cyvok, no doubt we shall see you again. |

Only know CYVOK by rep, but his accomplishments cannot be argued. While im sure his depature will boost alot of midget epeens out there (mainly among boob kids) CYVOK should know that some ppl respect him for what he did for the game and consider his depature a loss.

CYVOK will be missed. He is the greatest leader in EVE I've ever seen. What ASCN has accomplished and built in 0.0 is to a great extent his work. To plan, organize and execute the construction of a infrastructure able to support a growing empire in 0.0 takes dedication, loyalty and the ability to stick it out when you hit the lows. CYVOK tied it all together and made it work. CYVOK also carry a sense of honor and morale I've rarely seen in EVE. What ASCN has built in 0.0 is second to no other alliance, that is fact.
CYVOK I salute you, continue to fly with honor, as you always have been.

I have skimmed through and read with interest all 11 pages of this thread. Some hate him, some love him, nearly all respect him. I am and have been a member of ASCN for a longer period of time than I have any other alliance in eve. I had the honor of speaking to Cyvok on more than one occasion and found him to be a considerate,polite and helpful person.
I am here to say good luck to you Cyvok as you turn your endeavors to the trials of real life, and remember us in ASCN/Eve and all the many friends you made here. You had a vision and a dream for ASCN and I hope those of us left can somehow manage to make a small part of that happen. It will be difficult without you, but we shall try. Come back when and if you can, there will always be a place for a man of vision and character.

Oh boo hoo, sob sob. Cry me a river....
Honestly, his leadership was mediocre at best to be polite about it and more closer to being quite pathetic. I have heard everything from 'he is a great peace time leader' to 'greatest thing since sliced bread', however I know it is all based upon the brainwashing propaganda that was endured.
As for honour, posh, the guy didn't even have the dignity to admit he screwed up. That is the major identifying attribute of a poor leader - refuse to accept fault and blaming everything else for failure.
Not only that, but he left at a time when his alliance needed leadership most. All because his shiny toy got broken and no one wanted to go out and build him another one.
May be critical, but it is the truth. He probably is a nice guy in real life, but this is a game where it isn't very nice. Maybe he would do better in Second Life or another pacifist based mmo....

Nope. Just tired of the crap. The truth is meant to be set free. If you still beleive the old party line, I feel kind of sorry for you. Anyhow, it is just a game which is something a lot of us in the alliance lost sight of. Time to get back to having fun again....
