Edited by: Darkstar BP on 11/02/2007 13:06:35 Two days ago it became clear there was a Dev high up in BoB, actively supporting BoB, with CCP not fixing it for 6 months
Now,how does BoB respond?
1. BoB pilots have been flying with "[DEV]" tags in the last few days.
2. The Executor corp of BoB is now named "Tin Foil"
3. BoB members have been reacting very very differently from one-another
From the separate thread I have summarized the main BoB member responses. Some of it is toeing the official CCP-line, in which t20 apologizes to both CCP and RKK (sic) for letting both down. One member believes that CCP should take appropriate action against the BoB chars that benefited.
Originally by: Blacklight Very very difficult to post in this thread from my point of view. Not because I feel either myself or my mates that I play Eve with are cheats but because one man, an employee of CCP no less has let us all down, most of all he's let all of BoB down. We play hard but I firmly believe we play fair and to have the rug pulled out from beneath us like this is a very bitter pill to swallow. I'll blog about the issue from my perspective when I am done moving house and stuff so could be a week or so. Not much more I can say really except that I am sickened and saddened to learn that a CCP employee in my alliance cheated.

"Ok i know this is probaly gonna be nice Bait for all the BOB haters out there but i will try my best. First of al i havent been ingame since i saw this Post and my first reaction was OMG ******* hell, does T20 actually know that he might just have ruined the game for an entire alliance and made the rest of the community even more suspicius towards said allaince.. this will hang over BOB for the rest of its excistens I am in shock that there was truth in this thing whit BPO spawning
I am in Shock that CCP have devs that does this and i fully agree on the part of him beeing FIRED he should right away.. i love this game and iwe always been "OMG ppl are calling us haxors cheater all the time FFS come one get a grib".

"...... Firstly, am am honestly shocked that there was any truth to these allegations, and disappointed.You lot probably won't believe me, but frankly I could care less.Secondly, I trust CCP have taken whatever action they think appropriate. It may not be enough for some, but calling for more isn't really going to change anything. IMHO T20 should have been sacked when this was orginally discovered, but that didn't happen for whatever reason. I can live with that.Any BoB characters who knowingly took advantage of T20 should be punished as appropriate. .....
I feel for CCP, I feel for BoB, and I feel for the community.This whole affair could have been handled in a much better way, but alas we are where we are.What now? Do we, as CCP suggest, try to put this behind us and move on; or do we do all we can to risk the future of this game?I have invested a lot in Eve, and I really don't want to see it die, so what now? The ultimate future of Eve is in the hands of the community, you, me, everyone.It is time to act like the mature individuals we all are, and not the mob we have become.
I know there is a separate thread, but that has to do with CCP and its response. This thread has to do with BoB's response. So Mod's don't lock this thread please. It should not be mingled with the CCP discussion

Edited by: Exelsior on 11/02/2007 13:08:29 I'm actually quite certain that most BoB had no idea about what was happening, and that only a select few were involved, and it's a shame that a whole alliance is tainted by that, but such is Eve.
Edit: I just had an ebil tin foil idea, what if t20 was actually working for one of BoB's enemies and staged this to provide a reason for many to turn against BoB? *puts on tin foil hat*

Personaly I'm getting tired of all this, "OMG BoB haxorz!" crap. BoB is the big bad alliance of the moment and everyone believes they're cheating because they're on top. Same things were said of Curse Alliance back at it's peak. Its been made worse due to the news about T20 but to be honest, if someone believes that BoB have dominated the universe thanks to a Saber BPO, they need their head checked. ----

If you think it is about a sabre BPO then you really need a reality check. It is about more then that and it is not only about T20. Noone really believes this was all BoB got fed.

The question is, were the benefits they gained done through ignorance or knowledge?
If a corp makes ships at discounts for your alliance you're gonna buy those ships and assume that the BPOs were legally obtained, and if later on it's found out that they weren't then it is unfair to taint you with 'cheating' aswell because it was in no way your fault.

Apparently a lot of people do actually care. The fact that your post is full of profanity and that you're vehemently trying to get rid of the attention currently around BoB does nothing but anger more people, and when they see your ticker, well you get my point.

The only fair way to repair the damage done would be either to remove all benefits BoB got from these BPOs (prob. impossible or at least very very hard to estimate) or loan these same BPO for ALL SINGLE ALLIANCE in game for a period of 6 months, so these too can benefit from these BPOs in the same way BoB did -----

I think Lone Bear wans us all to quit eve and join the peace corps. You care for your precious pixels so much that you care to post. Quit EVE and go to Darfur or something, help where it counts and stop telling us what we should be doing.

at the end of the day every member of bob is just another player of the community. Which means by a dev cheating no matter if it helped or disadvantaged him he got betrayed.
Many BoB members have stated their views on this and as others stated a witchhunt will lead to nothing. A dev cheating is a sad thing for the whole community not because someone gained some iskies, or someone lost some virtual stuff but because we ALL lost trust in ccp. Trust which over time will be restored or which will lead to ppl quitting. That in this case BoB, unknowingly, benefited from it is unfortunate because it helps to fuel the bob haters with a new angle. No logic or reasoning or statements from ccp will change their hurling abuse about the whole alliance beeing cheats etc. So in short i personally think BoB prolly lost the most of it because on one hand they get scapegoated for the shortcomings of a Dev and on the otherhand they lost their faith in ccp and to face each cheating accusation with the same steady "no we dont cheat" statement they could sofar rely on.
I would hope that the more levelheaded guys get a grip on the whole situation and ppl like Nez stop there forum attentionwhoring in addition to ccp owning up. T20 deserves whats coming for him and ccp should openly state what role Bob had in all this so ppl can move on. Ccp as a company shouldnt let its own shortcomings become a concern of a small group of players who gets, atleast in the majority of their players, unrightfully crucified for it.
A dev spawning bpos is like an alliancem8 duping ressources or exploiting a bpo bug (both events the community had in the eve history) however none of these events lead to a witchhunt of this proportion.

There appears to be some genuine shock and disappointment from BoB on what has happened, which is good as the community is also shocked and disappointed.
However the rest of the community seems to be very, very angry indeed, but instead of BoB saying "ok guys, we really need to take stock of what has happened and play this carefully", they appear to be pouring fuel onto the fire if points 1 and 2 are true and in doing so giving two fingers to the community.
I do not understand why they would do this if they were innocent. Why don't they have an official stance on the matter? Why aren't they keeping their people in check? Individuals from the alliance have come forward and said this is not right, which takes courage, but why can the leadership not do the same and try to salvage their reputation?
In short, I just do not understand

If it bothers you so much, kill them, it's not like you can't take justice in your own hands in this game.
Truth is, I feel sad for many, most, BoB members who probably feel very bad atm (Blacklight explained it quite well), but such is life. The problem with the chestbeating and "haha you say we have devs because you're a sore losers lolol" is that when things like this happen you find everyone at your neck. Sad but that's the way of things. ^^

So you are saying that BOB have the right to mock the community for getting an unfair advantage in a game that we all pay for equally? I think flying with [DEV] is actually against the EULA, and early in the game people were banned for impersonating CCP staff in game.

The executioner corp was found long before the whole incident at the end of last year (december if memory serves right). The tags can be appointed by anyone so chances are high if you see a bob with a dev tag one of YOUR gangm8s set it this way. Tho reading your other posts on this topic i guess ure not interested in logic.

3. BoB members have been reacting very very differently from one-another
Okies, lets think with our brainz for a bit!
Everyone knew bob had devs in their alliance, other alliances have devs too you know! They like their game, doh!
Did bob guys know the identity of a dev/devs? Probably a few did. Should they have ruined the devs gaming experience by exposing him to public/kicking him out of the alliance? If I knew my boss was a dev, so what? I'd play the game with the dev boss just the same.
If a dev cheats, how is it suddenly bob's fault? Did EvilMolle bully a dev to give them an advantage? How many in bob knew? None? A couple? Everyone? Are you guys stupid or something?
Now, lets address the actual issues the op brings us:
If the whole community is after you for something you had very little control over, how do you react?
1. You disband your alliance and quit the game out of shame?
2. You quiver in a little corner of the galaxy sending 'forgive us' pleas?
3. You make a mockery out of it by flaunting the dev-thing everywhere you go?
Personally I would choose option number three.

no im saying that i think BOB got the right to mock the community for trying to push them all over the same edge, its my own opinion.

Note that I am anti-Bob, because they need opposing (as the strongest Alliance in EVE at the moment).
I personally think that most Bob members didn't know about this and don't share responsiblility.
Also, as usual, some Bob pilots (and leadership) seem to be acting very arrogant and *****ish over this matter.
I think that some Bob members probably did know about T20 being more in favor of Bob then he should have been, but didn't speak up about this.

In my mind option 4 is the most sensible approach.

Alternatively: 4. You own up to it, and come clean about what else came from the relations you have had with Devs. You come clean before CCP does, or Kugutsumen uncovers more information. Make sure everybody understands you take it seriously, and you will address it differently when it happens again. That way not everybody in your alliance will be tainted the same way.

2.the bob holding corp has been tin foil for quite a while now.
3. there are a lot of different people in bob, of course they're going to react differently

Petition it then dont cry here on the forums!
As for the executor corp named tin foil its been named that for a fair while now!
As for someone complaining about BoB giving the finger why should a bunch of players not be angry at people after the massive witch hunt took place? Only handful of people said they would wait for the outcome everyone else deemed guilty there and then and slandered good pilots names, when it turns out from T20 confesion that not one person in BOB knew that the bpos were gotten via exploit.

Originally by: Kozak Why do people focus on what we dont know? We know that there was cheating, we dont' know what other alliance cheated. To speculate is stupid. All I know is that I'm in an alliance that has not cheated and the enemy is known to have. You expect me or anyone else to be "OK, No Biggie".
These are things that I know and can react to.
Wait -- aren't you in AAA?
Personally, I think the systematic cheating of the Goonies, RA and AAA is in some ways worse. With the BoB thing, the number of people involved is clearly very small. The Goonie client hack was used by at least hundreds. Who knows how many RA benefitted from exploiting complexes? And the AAA logging tricks, involving dozens and dozens of pilots, are well known.
Yes, a dev cheating is more serious than those, absolutely. That doesn't mean those others don't count. From the standpoint of THE ALLIANCE'S behavior, most of the coalition going at BoB are throwing rocks in glass houses.
I'd like to see EVERYONE in Eve clean up their act, and there are a lot of acts that need cleaning up besides BoB. This kind of hypocritical witch-hunt thing is bogus.

One wonders if the lack of response in form of statement from the usual bob forum warriors means one of the following things
1) they are eating humble pie
2) they have been banned and cant actually respond
seriously tho, my dislike of bob is no secret, i haven't liked them from the early days starting in eve, but as i have stated another forum posting, the members of bob have nothing to blame but for them selves as they are in the position to restore their tarnished reputation by kicking out those members that are apart of the whole farce otherwise they are just as guilty as the ones responsible.
I just want the whole issue resolved and equality across the board in all aspects of the game, so that we can continue to play on a even and fair 'playing field'.

Kozi, respect you crazily as I do, and love you like a brother, I do think this kind of mania has to end at some point. Yes, they cheated, yes, third party intervention caught them at it. Will serious lessons be learnt? I believe they will.. And that for me is enough.
But, if this happens again, then we will all be proved wrong and there are plenty of other things to be doing, especially with summer coming up and new mmorpgs on the horizon.
Lets drop the issue and move on.

You cannot blame BoB about actions of a dev to improve his gaming "expirience" (even if he donated the bpos to the corp)
You could blame BoB if SirMolle accepted the blackmail, bcs then they had tried to cover the things up. But they didnt.
If you wana go shoot BoB, go shoot them. But dont retend to be the holly crusader vs the game plague

I guess the DEV(T20), (afaik a director of RKK and capital fleet commander) thought RKK and BOB needed to CHEAT.

I think he's referring to the motherships etc. that BoB has aquired through official events. It's entirely possible that the events were fair, they had no advance warning of rules for the alliance tournament, the devs had no hand in planning their setups and BoB just are that good. It's ALSO entirely possible that they got a tip off about the rules in advance, had a say in the rules or devs had a hand in planning their team and strategy.
Not to go tinfoil hat on you but those are both possibilities and the reason they are possibilities is because devs have yet to refute those claims as a group or provide any evidence to that effect. There's no proof either way because the only proof that can realistically be obtained is admittance by the guilty party. The fact that they've remained silent does NOT affect the efficacy of the potential for accusation.

Yes, sure, RKK needed badly a sabre and some ammo BPOs, otherwise BoB would have been doomed.
1. The RKK director, who handles BPOs, had no clue about that those BPOs were not ligid. That's like 100 percent sure from logs. 2. RKK supports a communistic model, meaning you join, you give your stuff to the Corp.
If so many believe BoBs success was based on the BPO thing, then that shows the reason for me why several alliances were destroyed by BoB. They were unrealistic dreamers and forgot to do their homework.

Actually you can in some ways. Bob members choose to follow their leaders. One of their leaders (t20 was trusted with capital division of rkk) choose to spawn BPOs for Bob.
I dont care much about that though. I just think Bob are a bunch of arrogant asshats and hate em because of that. you'll never jump alone

I agree that it's not entire alliances fault there was a dev cheating there, but I'd be really interest in hearing BOB higherups comment on the following:
Why was BOB allowed to keep the spawned BPO's until this week if the incident was discovered in June 2006?
How many blueprint copies does BOB have of these BPOs that were now returned? |

An apology is not enough at this point. It WOULD have been enough 6 months ago, and if people didnt get banned, and if threads werent locked and deleted, and if said accused alliance didnt deny everything, but at this point its far too little far too late.
I dont believe CCP has come clean, nor do I believe BoB's directors knew nothing about what happened. Only one person got banned out of this whole mess, and he was the one who GAVE us the proverbial Watergate memo. At the moment I dont care if he got banned for hacking. I dont PAY him, I PAY CCP.

Flame me away if that can make your small ego feel greater, you're making me sick, lot of you should go see a shrink and look at what's going on around you so precious "eve character".
It is my belief that the conduct of a person whilst active in a "no consequence" environment such as EVE or a forum speaks volumes more about the moral fiber of that person than their behaviour in the real world. When you are totally veiled by anonymity, you are at the greatest liberty to act, and it is in that setting that a person's true character presents itself.
Furthermore, I think everyone's aware of this fact at some level, just some folks are in denial about it. "It's just a game" is, in my opinion, not a good justification.
The "witch hunts" your member has been ranting about are in fact the natural retaliation of a group whose collective integrity has been slandered. As a result of this whole fiasco, the entirety of BoB have been labeled, unjustly, as a bunch of cheaters.
Now, I'll be the first to say that you folks aren't exactly my favourite alliance of all time, but it would be unreasonable of me or anyone else to tar you all with the same brush. In fact, I'm pretty certain that the extreme majority of BoB are a bunch of honourable, fun-loving types with a well-developed sense of fair play. From the sounds of things, most of you are as scandalized over this whole event as everyone else is.
BoB is the USA of EVE: life is good if you're in BoB or one of its vassal corps, but the rest of us think you are entirely too big, rich and powerful, and that it's gone to your head. That's the collective view of your alliance, and your response to this fiasco will define how the rest of the community continues to view you for a long while. This is your Watergate. ***

Whether you hate them or love them,BoB is also a victim. When BoB was building itself into an Elite Alliance we must remember THEY were infiltrated by a Dev (maybe more) which became apparently knowledge to SOME members of BoB in the HC. Even if they (BoB HC) knew and went along with it they were corrupted. BoB didnt ask for Dev assistance,it was forced on them by a defunked CCP policy of Anonymous involvement. CCP are the ones to blame for ALL of the debacle,let us hope they reconsider their policy of devs being involved anonymously in 0.0 politics. You (CCP) cannot say "we will play the game period as we see fit" because the fallout of things going wrong is too great a burden to bear,you have a responsibility to the community to police it,not lead it.

That hacker blackmailed SirMolle to cover the holle thing up. SirMolle didnt accepted. After violating the EULA that hacker/blackmailer got all his 5 accs banned by CCP. Then he start accusing BoB more, with unprooved accusations. Just think a little more about it :-) And btw if CCP wanted to cover the holle thing up, she could have done that easy, offering that person what he needed to "improove" his gaming expirience. Insteed of that, CCP banned him and all of his 5 accs.
And btw, I am not a BoB pet, I ve fought vs them, I got poded by them and 4 days ago I got DDDed by the Titan of their new allies (LV). ----------------------------------

To doubt that this hasn't been given the highest level of attention by CCP is to name yourself a fool; name one other incident in the long history of incidents in Eve that has ever garnered a public response by the CEO of CCP himself.
Find some self respect so that you can figure out how to show some respect to others; people used to say that the greatest thing about Eve is its community, that high watermark is shamefully sinking fast.
The problem is that nothing has been proposed that remedies the situation. It is apparently still OK for Devs to take senior leadership position in BoB, or any other alliance for that matter. The CEO defends the 'immersion' of its players into the game. I agree that Devs should play, and even in alliances, BUT NOT ABOVE THE GRUNT LEVEL (including Grunt with Carrier and Dread, not Mothership or Titan). Having a Dev as head of all Cap ship ops is plain wrong.
I must say I never saw you so indignant about smearfest that was the BoB propaganda war against the ASCN leadership. This is actually an improvement over that.

1) If I understand it right, the dev was removed from RKK, because his cloak has fallen that there is a dev behind that player char. I don't know how serious CCP took the accusations about cheating itself, but RKK surely got no feedback that the BPOs were illegal. So they just didn't know. They thought some a$$ has petitioned the dev for something he hasn't done and so CCP forced him to leave corp, because the cloak of a dev had fallen. It was CCPs mistake not to react accordingly, check the BPOs and take them out of the game.
2) BPO copying is useless, because it takes longer than building tech-2 directly from the BPOs.
Just my thoughts. I'm no BoB. Maybe they want to answer that themselves, but to me it sounds reasonable.

Actually if you read it more he blackmailed him to post the information. And he would not release it himself. He wanted other things as well which I do not condone. But who knows mabey he did not know anything about it, gee t20 sure made some of you look like jackasses.

I've already said this in another thread, but will say it again, in response to all the BOB t-shirt brigade:
1) This cheating is only the tip of the iceberg, we will probably never know the full extent. If the dev in question was prepared to illegally spawn and give bpos to BOB, would he just spawn and give the ones we have been told about. Obviously not ffs, it's as clear as the BOB emblem on your t-shirts.
Do i think the whole of BOB were cheating ? ofc not Do i think most of BOB were cheating ? ofc not Did some of BOB cheat and know about this and whatever else the dev did, ofc they did, it's not debateable it's common bloody sense. It's utterly senseless to believe he never discussed this with someone, probably even bragging about his achievement. What's the next question that would be asked ?
What others can you get? Can you do this, can you do that?

The BoB-ASCN propaganda went in two directions, there are numberous examples to be had. I have no reason to feel indignant as you put it, over two sides that both fired their share of broadsides at one another. The base behaviour displayed in these forums over this matter is a very different beast.

I just think the Bob haters are using this as an excuse to group up and attack Bob. I'm ****ed off that a Dev would do something like that, but I also think it's ludacris that people seem to think Bob knew about the whole thing. Maybe one or two did, that's one or two more than I would like, but take a step back and look at what you're saying. Alot of people are accusing 1800 people of cheating when 1 Dev gave Bob a few BPO's. Some people are blowing it way out of proportion.
If this had happened to D2 or Goons I wouldn't scream "OMG YOU'RE ALL CHEATERS" at any given chance. Some people would, but put yourselves in Bob's shoes. Most of them had absolutely no clue, get off their backs a bit.

No prooves, just your sense and not common. If that blackmailer is correct then T20 and 5 more devs are/were BoB members. Thats 6% of the devs stuff.
I say the rest 94% of the devs are IRON members and helping IRON atm. Is that true, is that false? Who knows? Can you proove me wrong? Can you proove me right? No.

That is what ppl said about his initial accusation,they were unproven, now they are proen and confirmed by CCP. In a way he has earned some ammount of trust, not 100% becouse he seems to have his own agenda, still the recent turn of events give him some credability...

Originally by: Darkstar BP I must say I never saw you so indignant about smearfest that was the BoB propaganda war against the ASCN leadership. This is actually an improvement over that.
The BoB-ASCN propaganda went in two directions, there are numberous examples to be had. I have no reason to feel indignant as you put it, over two sides that both fired their share of broadsides at one another. The base behaviour displayed in these forums over this matter is a very different beast.
I don't know why but these two posts reminded me that when the "what would it cost to get one of ASCN's guys to backstab their alliance and offline POSses?" thread was spat out, the original poster was Dianabolic's alt as we found out when Kug released RKK in-corp alt list...
Less forums, more game. Possibly some other game? --- Mandatory disclaimer: These are my thoughts, not my corps/alliances. ---

TBH What I don't think the community wants is to blame every Bob grunt, who afaik 99% did not know this was going on. What the community wants to see is a proper and thorough investigation into this mess that a select few DEVS and high ranking Bods have spawned. They were the cause of the abuse, and therefore proper action via bannings etc should be exercised to these members. At the moment, only 1 of the Devs have been ratted out (albeit for only a fraction of the abuse he did) so there are still people who have gotten away scott free.
First of all there is the high ranking member of bob who apparently posted the contact details of the person who implicated them in the first place. As said person has been banned for doing the same to the Bob member, it should only be consistent of CCP to ban the Bob member for committing the same act.
Secondly, there's the other high ranking rkk member who apparently used rl money to buy a toon off another person. This again is against CCP rules and should merit punishment. As I mentioned previously if CCP were consistent and indiscriminate to all players, then it would only be normal for CCP to punish this player. However, nothing has happened as of yet, and from reports by CCP who atm seem to find said player innocent, I ask for proof that would undermine that of Kugut's.
Therefore, rather than the community being unhappy for all of Bob and CCP, I would think they were more unhappy due to the fact that the investigation that took place was, frankly poor. Also, actions taken have been inconsistent with that of normal investigations, the only factor here is that they were Bob players. Finally, the fact that CCP seem to have acted inconsistently could give rise to discrimination, which afaik, even though it is their game, is still against the constitution (Whether it been the Human Rights Act) or whatever.
I myself am not blaming all of CCP or Bob for cheating, I'm sure most Devs have been able to play the game without having to resort to such low methods in order to further their 'game experience'. I am only after those responsible, and assisted in such help, from all alliances and corps, not just bob. Although they have been implicated, it may only be the tip of the iceberg and other alliances could have the same benefit.
Therefore, in order to restore community confidence, and trust for the average bob grunt, CCP should have dealt with the allegations more seriously, and without discrimination, against the accused Bob HC and CCP Devs, rather than make a , frankly crappy scapegoat over T20.

That is what ppl said about his initial accusation,they were unproven, now they are proen and confirmed by CCP. In a way he has earned some ammount of trust, not 100% becouse he seems to have his own agenda, still the recent turn of events give him some credability...

It's sad indeed, I agree that most BOB members were not aware of the whole issue, why would their leadership want it public, but CCP still need to compensate or punish in some way or the other because BOB through the DEVs will have had easy access to ships and mods plus inside game info the community never had or have to pay through the nose to get, how do you solve that? I'd say take away the T2 bpos first and devise a way to redress this wrong doing that has been going on for years

Originally by: Luthien Firefoot I've already said this in another thread, but will say it again, in response to all the BOB t-shirt brigade:
1) This cheating is only the tip of the iceberg, we will probably never know the full extent. If the dev in question was prepared to illegally spawn and give bpos to BOB, would he just spawn and give the ones we have been told about. Obviously not ffs, it's as clear as the BOB emblem on your t-shirts.
Do i think the whole of BOB were cheating ? ofc not Do i think most of BOB were cheating ? ofc not Did some of BOB cheat and know about this and whatever else the dev did, ofc they did, it's not debateable it's common bloody sense. It's utterly senseless to believe he never discussed this with someone, probably even bragging about his achievement. What's the next question that would be asked ?
What others can you get? Can you do this, can you do that?
Get real people, if you go into an off license with a sawn off and a balaclava you're not gonna buy a goddamn scratchcard are ya.
No prooves, just your sense and not common. If that blackmailer is correct then T20 and 5 more devs are/were BoB members. Thats 6% of the devs stuff.
I say the rest 94% of the devs are IRON members and helping IRON atm. Is that true, is that false? Who knows? Can you proove me wrong? Can you proove me right? No.
Period
Fair enough, but I do find it hard to believe that none of the RKK leadership new about T20. I'm a dev in your ranks and I decide to reveal myself to joe bob or Diana, maybe Galavet... hmmm... who would u choose? Besides a dev in your corp is the kind of info that travels up.
We'll never know, but that's okay for us...maybe not so good for CCP though.

Edited by: Relaria Hossin on 11/02/2007 16:04:19 Well it's pretty easy to prove that someone must have known he was a dev, because in the very PMs hacked off BoB's site it shows that a dev joined BoB and mucked around for a short while as a rank and file peon and then suddenly was elevated to capital fleet commander. There is even a PM or two of your own members asking what was going on and if it was a mistake. The response was along the lines of "don't worry about it".
There is a lot of really juicy stuff in there for those who take the time to peruse it.

Actually Dianabolic, the director in RKK, who seemed to manage the RKK BPOs, seemed to have no idea that they were obtained illegally. That was clearly shown by the hacked private messages. And later, t20 was not in RKK anymore.
Ok, you can't be sure that noone ever now, but t20 has surely not played the wizzard and spawned stuff like mad in the know of the RKK leadership. That just doesn't fit to the conversations that Kugutsumen has revealed.
Imho the main damage of this affair is the lost trust in CCP, which will surely cost them several thousands of dollars, because people run like headless chicken around now and say: 'I always knew it, BoB are devs and cheaters and that explains everything !' without checking the facts.
Fact is, in each online game some guys run around and claim that every success of some clan is based on GM-support, dev-support and cheating. No matter if it's fact or fiction. Now one dev got revealed and one issue with little impact on the big picture has been revealed and those guys come again and say: 'Ahhh, I knew it, I knew it. I always said it ! And it's only the tip of the iceberg. All cheating !!!'

Does anyone here watch the west wing?
Well in the final series, two candidates are running for president, nearing the end of the campaign there is leak a nuclear power plant, it is discovered that one of the candidates, many years early pushed for the plant to be opened as quickly as possible. A resulting storm of controvesy starts from the media and the public saying that he in some way caused the accident.
The candidate at the time does not deal with the situation and tries to let it die down by not answering questions on the subject. 2 weeks later nearing the very end of the campaign, the media are still talking about the power plant, finally enough is enough and he decides to go out and call a press conference infront of the plant.
He stands there for 3 hours answering every single question the reportes have, admitting his mistakes and what he would have done differently, eventually the reports have no more questions and being quite bored they, one by one, all walk off leaving him there by himself.
After that day there was not one more article about the power plant.
To summarise, peoples concerns and worries are fuelled by unanswered questions and conspiracy theories.
CPP get out in front of the power plant. It is better for all of us.

Yes... let's leave behind all what... 2 of them, perhaps 3, god forbid... 5? Sure, that makes sense, let's have the other 1795 people pack their stuff, move on and reform elsewhere. While they are at it, forget everything that they accomplished, nevermind the POS or the outposts and stations, never mind the effort and work they put in to bring themselves to the top of the game; never mind the ties and friendships they have within their corps and alliance, or the history they've created together...
Honestly, do you think that is even a slightly viable option that wouldn't hurt the very people that had nothing to do with this? I've seen other people calling for their alliance to be completely dissolved by CCP; do you think that wouldn't also adversely effect not just the members of BoB, but also several other alliances, and have the potential to completely upset the landscape of Eve in ways that can't be predicted? I'm not talking about subjective opinions on which alliances can stand on their own or make new arrangements or whatever; kneejerk reactions on 'how it should be fixed' aren't normally thought through, and this particular reaction/suggestion seems to be the least thought out of them all.

This HAS and always will taint BoB's name, their enemies will use it as smack ammo. I dont doubt whether with GM intervention or not BoB would be a powerful alliance, but this topic will not end until everyone knows exactly what happened and why exactly some people in BoB seem to get special treatment.
One of my members was perma-banned for deploying cans, later we managed to get this revoked, but people seem to be getting away with ridiculous things in comparison.

I am now anxiously awaiting a DBP post smashing those rumors about passive targeters being a cornerstone of BOB fittings. After all, passive targeters are bug-free.

Call it "reprocusion", call it "justice", call it "punishment", call it "keep the comunity happy", call it whatever you want but someone has to take one of those.

Its all good and well everyone having a go at BoB but the fact remains that it was a select few that were in on this. Your going to hold the whole alliance at the end of a gun barrell because of this?
These are real people with real feelings, they are the people that deliver your mail, that build your PC's, that are heads in your companies.
Would you treat a member of your own corp this way? Have some respect and some humanity for gods sakes.
Leave the guys alone to deal with it instead of fighting the witch hunt, or is eve a haven of the klu klux klan?

I believe this states the heart of the matter, for most of us. Most of our anger is with CCP, however we can not do anything about CCP, other than quit. We can take our frustrations out on the benefactor of the lopsided justice that has yet to be righted. The uneven way that justice has been handed out is another of the problems.
I have found that the Eve Community has a very short memory, for those of you crying "you can't paint ALL of BoB with the same brush" let me remind you of the fairly recent extermination campaign against the Goons. I have no love for the Goons, but let's not be two faced about this.

Yes, but if you have read the RKK logs, you also see that they require a lot of discipline, effort and dedication from their members, otherwise *kick*. It's all for the corp/alliance. And it's probably the same in the other BoB corps. Most pilots experienced pvp freaks, almost no slackers, no solo'ers.
Their professional approach seems to me a far more reasonable explanation for BoB beating alliances like ASCN and others, than having dev support and the tip and maybe rest of the so called 'iceberg'.

One or two of the guys in BoB may have known what t20 was doing, but certainly not all of them. If they had we would have known about this looong ago. I'm sure BoB's recruiting policies are very strict, but I'm equally sure they have spies. If you dont follow me....basically one of these spies would have uncovered it ages ago. So you cant blame the alliance BoB, most of those guys (if any) arent responsible, but maybe a few have been "cheating" or whatever. But since we have no way of knowing this for sure, what can be done? CCP have done their part, now we have to do our part and trust them. ------------

What has happened has happened, but im wondering how bobs victorious wars would have been won if they didn't have those BPOS and the capital from them ( including ones most likely not mentioned.. )
yes no proof, time to stfu :P, but its just a what if in my mind.

seriously tho, my dislike of bob is no secret, i haven't liked them from the early days starting in eve, but as i have stated another forum posting, the members of bob have nothing to blame but for them selves as they are in the position to restore their tarnished reputation by kicking out those members that are apart of the whole farce otherwise they are just as guilty as the ones responsible.
I just want the whole issue resolved and equality across the board in all aspects of the game, so that we can continue to play on a even and fair 'playing field'.
froggy
ok, so tell us all, exactly and with proof. Which guys in BoB "cheated" . To the letter, to the name, to every little detail, and give me all the proof needed to back this up. Oh, and try not using Kuguts and his forum hacking abilities?
Seriously, there is no way you can really expect to know who did and didnt do this. I know the guys in DICE quite well, and a few people from other bob corps. I would say that they didn't know what was going on, but using what I said above, i cant prove it.
This whole event is making me sick and tired of the eve community, who just seem to want a whole group of players to get banned for one, ONE persons abuse of responsibility. He has admitted it, it has been dealt with. The community now faces a simple choice, either continue down this road of self destruction, ruining the entire game for everyone who plays, and also for CCP's employee's who have worked so hard to develop it, or we can just accept that itwas t20, t20 alone and get on with shooting each others pixels.
Quite frankly, I would like nothing more than to see the end of this, its starting to really get to me that so many players in a community have such an immense hatred of one group, they will take whatever they can, with no proof and attempt to alienate and force them out of the game. For what reason? "For being the best." [dont even bother with the ONLY THE BEST COZ THEY HAXSPLOITZLAGNODECRASHWHINE ]. From nothing to something in just one corp!

One thing I find still abit funny, when people said BOB were cheating, they were actully cheating. Not that BOB knew of this still makes a little giggle inside.
Tbh BOB (SirMolle) Should make an official BOB post saying sorry or whatever. I'm glad BlackLight and other bobbits admit the facts and have moved on.
If I was t20's boss he'd of been fired too.

Let's be reasonable here. Nobody in their right minds believes that all of BoB are cheaters. Also, nobody in their right minds believes that bob are 100% innocent.
As usual, the truth is somewhere between the two extremes. What i don't like though is the fact that there has not been sufficient punishment handed out in some cases, while it is done so in others selectively.
If it's a bannable offense to reveal player's RL identities and since we have the precedent of Kugutsumen getting banned, maybe SirMolle should be banned too or Kugutsumen should be unbanned. The "have my cake and eat it" attitude seems to be what's p*ssing the community off the most. What's done is done, but the way it was handled was insufficient.
To sum up, i honestly believe that it's statistically impossible not to have at least a dozen honest players in BoB, even if half their directorship was implicated.
What i'd like to see is said directors come up and apologise...not for the dev scandal per se (it would be an admittion of shared guilt if they did), but for the utter garbage they've been proudly spewing in the face of the community only to be proven wrong and even worse, while there is a high possibility that they did infact know some of what was going on.
What we saw was indeed a lynch mob mentality and a witch hunt. To go all "pitty poor BoB grunts" over it is not appropriate though. In the vein of the witch hunt analogy, BoB's public image was the equivalent of Winona Ryder in the Salem trials film...playing the same joke and revelling on people's paranoia for so long that they missed the stake being built in the town square right before their eyes.
Furthermore, nothing has stopped their public figures from broadly generalising whenever they went against somebody, they have no ground to stand on to resist the same treatment applied to them.
I do believe the average BoB guy is just another player like everyone of us...problem is their vocal ones could never apply the same logic when dealing with their enemies.
Just to use the most recent example, weren't the ASCN members just another group of players out to have fun? Of course they were. Where they all crap at PvP? Of course not, statistically speaking it's as impossible as saying that 100% of BoB cheat. Then why did they demonise the whole lot of them for their leaders mistakes, with the main aim to crush their will to play? Because attacking the enemy's fun factor is what wins wars first and foremost.
It's all fine and dandy by me, but when people are forced to take a taste of their own medicine they should STFU, contemplate how it feels and admit they slipped up, instead of either going "poor me" and making a clown of themselves or going totally absent for a few days in the hope it boils down and they will not be forced to say the one thing they fear most than all the capital ships in the game combined: "I'm sorry guys, we f*ed up"

BoB wil say nothing much until the rage dies down, relying onstead on pets and alts to get their message across about how if you cared about the game you would just let it go cos all you are doing is hurting eve etc., then they will just make a joke out of it and flame the crap out of you if you dare to raise the subject and spout 101 variations of "proof or stfu" and "tin fol hats" until no-one dares raise a word.

Originally by: Avernus My first and only response in any of these related threads;
How long are people going to drag BoB over the coals on this? I highly doubt anyone here of sound mind believes for a moment that more than a fraction of a fraction of all of the BoB members had any inkling what was going on. My personal beliefs don't come into it, the tag under my name is susceptible to flame simply for my alliance standings with BoB.
The level of spite displayed here towards a group of players, the utterly vast majority of whom bear zero responsibility whatsoever in this matter, is frankly sickening. The will displayed to punish people who have no guilt is fueled by alternating motives of envy, hatred, cowardice, political aspirations and propaganda based bull. Did you recently cut them off yourselves or did you choose to create your characters to be eunuchs?
To doubt that this hasn't been given the highest level of attention by CCP is to name yourself a fool; name one other incident in the long history of incidents in Eve that has ever garnered a public response by the CEO of CCP himself.
Find some self respect so that you can figure out how to show some respect to others; people used to say that the greatest thing about Eve is its community, that high watermark is shamefully sinking fast.
You are right, very few people in BoB probably had any inkling of what was going on. The problem is that of the few that knew about it, almost all were very senior members.

Edited by: Baun on 11/02/2007 18:17:34 Most BoB members are just like most members of other corporations. They have little clue what their directors and CEOs are doing and they mostly do what they are told. These people are almost certainly innocent and if they are at all guilty it is by association. By virtue of that fact their reputation is tarnished along with the actual wrong doers.
I personally find it extremely hard to believe that at least the top RKK brass did not know that it was t20 and as such did not knowingly take advatange of his presence in the corporation. This also makes it hard for me to believe that the very top leadership in the other BoB corporations knew nothing about it. I might be willing to make the latter leap of faith, but not the former.
There isn't, however, much reason to believe that they specifically knew the BPOs in question were cheated. That, however, seems somewhat irrelevant to me.
Unfortunately, we may never know whether RKK knew anything and we may never see any punishment even if they did. CCP has shown itself completely untrustworthy and they have gone as far as to disclaim any knowledge of the existence of cyno-nets (a commonly used game mechanic that usually involves breaking the EULA and which is a completely inevitable result of the way in which capital ships were designed). CCP has covered this up for 7 months and is still lying to us. How will we know when the truth has been uncovered and the guilty parties actually dealt with?

Do you think that the majority of BoB, who didn't know about the cheating, weren't applauding the effects of it?
Do you think the majority of BoB would prefer that the cheating was detected and their status disappeared?
Do you think every single infraction has been uncovered and dealt with?

Originally by: Darkstar BP Edited by: Darkstar BP on 11/02/2007 13:06:35 Two days ago it became clear there was a Dev high up in BoB, actively supporting BoB, with CCP not fixing it for 6 months
Now,how does BoB respond?
1. BoB pilots have been flying with "[DEV]" tags in the last few days.
2. The Executor corp of BoB is now named "Tin Foil"
3. BoB members have been reacting very very differently from one-another
Okies, lets think with our brainz for a bit!
Everyone knew bob had devs in their alliance, other alliances have devs too you know! They like their game, doh!
Did bob guys know the identity of a dev/devs? Probably a few did. Should they have ruined the devs gaming experience by exposing him to public/kicking him out of the alliance? If I knew my boss was a dev, so what? I'd play the game with the dev boss just the same.
Thats the point isn't it. CCP spells it out in english that Dev's arn't supposed to tell ANYONE that they are a Dev.
The fact most if not all of RKK/BoB directorate knew who was a dev is a banning offence right there.
.
What's more shocking is the double standards being shown towards BoB by CCP with who they're banning and for what.

Yeah, exactly. It ain't like BoB doesn't have a history of widely villifying whole alliances for the actions of a few members. In fact, that's pretty much been their entire history from day one ("one of your guys killed one of our frigates, so we're taking your whole region.")
That said, there are plenty of reasons for everyone to bandwagon on to kill, and to despise, BoB without any of this recent developer drama. It isn't like BoB were universally loved saints of Eve until this latest mess came along. I'm perfectly happy knocking the BoB membership generally for a whole host of other reasons, too.

Most of what BoB achieved was through superior co-ordination and dedication/time spent, not through cheating. If you don't mention this then either:
a) You're a bit stupid. b) You're full of prejudice. c) You're either a direct enemy of BoB, or the alt of one. d) You're protecting someone else's interests at a price, not necessarily in money.
Choose which one best suits you but i don't see any other options.

Hold on, did you just call me an alt? A bob alt? Oh this is good, i can add it to my list of who other's alt i am, and that list is long. 
By the way, your logic is flawed and applies only in situations where that 1% helps to win, such as athletic situations. Please don't tell me that BoB won the ASCN war by a 1% advantage, it was more like 2-3 times advantage. Same with many other BoB wars.

O even better. T20 should apologize himself ot the EVE community as he has already apologized to BOB and CCP for his out of tune behaviour.
I wonder how mush ISK BOB made out of it, and if all the isk was taken back?

I understand your point, and its sadly all too true. BoB's propaganda is almost solely based on mocking leaders like McCreedy and Cyvok; and now they're going to get it right back at them.

You have quite a big mouth for someone that knows nothing. I'd think most BOB players didn't know about this(I didn't know about it, ex-rkk myself). As someone else posted. BOB didn't "win" because of a few t2 bpos. It might of helped them abit but it didn't "win" the game for them. They are far more organized and give alot for BOB and it's structure. Their leadership are so willing you have no idea. So please, before you talk jibbersh, please get your facts straight.

It's not fair to say all of BOB knwe of it because they didn't. It's like your son behaving badly in a public place filled with people. You apologize on his behalf.
O even better. T20 should apologize himself ot the EVE community as he has already apologized to BOB and CCP for his out of tune behaviour.
I wonder how mush ISK BOB made out of it, and if all the isk was taken back?
I hardly call what he posted an appology to anyone. It basicaly staited I am sorry I was caught, because I wasnt suppose to be caught. He can do better tbh.
B.T.W. why hasnt this thread been locked lol

I understand your point, and its sadly all too true. BoB's propaganda is almost solely based on mocking leaders like McCreedy and Cyvok; and now they're going to get it right back at them.
And some of them will deserve it. The ones who cheated or knew of the cheating, and the ones that mocked other alliances on the basis of a few people will all deserve it.
But let's not forget that not everyone in BoB will post in this forum slandering others, and very few of them knew of the cheating.

By the way, your logic is flawed and applies only in situations where that 1% helps to win, such as athletic situations. Please don't tell me that BoB won the ASCN war by a 1% advantage, it was more like 2-3 times advantage. Same with many other BoB wars.
I love it when then morally corrupt justify themselves with semantics and technicalities.
BoB would probably have won the ASCN war without cheating. They would probably have succeeded in the same things and enjoyed the same reputation and status.
But those are ifs and buts, and as I mentioned above there are no ifs or buts about this. They are cheaters. Whatever glories of the past went by without the help of the actual cheating, those glories were won by cheaters.
The cheaters and liars who beat their own chest loudest, remember? The ones, knowing full well what they were doing, that would proudly announce their superiority over the other players.
CCP will only deal with symbolic wrist slaps and damage control. So what the players can do, besides quitting the game, is set eachother +10 and bandwagon against BoB for punishment.

Originally by: Calenth Yeah, exactly. It ain't like BoB doesn't have a history of widely villifying whole alliances for the actions of a few members. In fact, that's pretty much been their entire history from day one ("one of your guys killed one of our frigates, so we're taking your whole region.")
So using that logic, we should be flaming your whole alliance for the actions of Firstname Lastname about a year ago?
You should be the last alliance to promote villifying thousands of people for the actions of one.
Maybe you need a history lesson, wasn't it bob that wanted to destroy all of the goona for the actions of a handful.

Originally by: Frogzuk One wonders if the lack of response in form of statement from the usual bob forum warriors means one of the following things
1) they are eating humble pie
2) they have been banned and cant actually respond
Or they are maybe to busy laughing at all this **** that paranoid people are spawning on this forum, that they don't really have time to make post on the matter. Or maybe they are to busy getting rid of most retarded alliance i have seen in this game, the all tardy Goons... As far as for [DEV]tags, i think its relay good idea to get some more paranoia into your heads.
From my point of view what member in question did with that BPOs is totally wrong and he should have been punished moment when CCP learned about it. Also the man who hacked something over a internet game needs to be imprisoned. Calling whole alliance cheaters because one of the guys, that play this game and is DEV choses to do it in BoB even if we all know there is plenty other DEVs in other alliances who might be doing the same, just that other alliances are none in the world of EvE so none cares about it, is just plain and simple and utterly retarded. I mean calling heads and bans of BoB leadership you know what that is? That is your only miserable way to beat them and you know it. You realize they are better than you and it anoyes you? You are stressed? Would a hug help? Cry me a river? So tomorrow when they will be living in your regions in East and North (/me laughs my ass on Woodlousy D2 wannabe spokesman, and when you will be named Red Alliance 2, Goons 3 and G2 or D3, Curse 4, TCF 5, new IAC etc all you need to ask yourself is one simple question... Why have we let our hate and rage and blind anger toward someone that plays better than me blind me from seeing my own mistakes and letting ebil BoB use our mistakes against us?

Should Sir Molle make an apology on behalf of the the boB alliance?
It depends on wether you think that the leadership of BoB had any idea that T20 was a dev, that the BPO's were illegally (in game terms) aquirred, and wether they knew about the Cynonet account sharing. I think there is ample proof enough that Sir Molle knew about ALL of the above.
Also there is the question of wether Sir Molle account should be suspended for revealing the real life identity of the whistleblower on these forums, albeit briefly before he edited the post. If the whistleblower had is account banned for exactly this "crime" why is Sir Molles account still active?.
BoB are failing to take any responsibilty for thesse events/actions and CCP are taking a one sided approach to dealing with these EULA breaches.
Either Sir Molle should be banned or Kugutsemen's accoumnts should be re-instated.

Originally by: Avernus My first and only response in any of these related threads;
How long are people going to drag BoB over the coals on this? I highly doubt anyone here of sound mind believes for a moment that more than a fraction of a fraction of all of the BoB members had any inkling what was going on. My personal beliefs don't come into it, the tag under my name is susceptible to flame simply for my alliance standings with BoB.
The level of spite displayed here towards a group of players, the utterly vast majority of whom bear zero responsibility whatsoever in this matter, is frankly sickening. The will displayed to punish people who have no guilt is fueled by alternating motives of envy, hatred, cowardice, political aspirations and propaganda based bull. Did you recently cut them off yourselves or did you choose to create your characters to be eunuchs?
To doubt that this hasn't been given the highest level of attention by CCP is to name yourself a fool; name one other incident in the long history of incidents in Eve that has ever garnered a public response by the CEO of CCP himself.
Find some self respect so that you can figure out how to show some respect to others; people used to say that the greatest thing about Eve is its community, that high watermark is shamefully sinking fast.

So what? Is the developer thing the ONLY crime in Eve now? Everything is just hunky-dory? Goonies can mass hack the client, RA can exploit complexes and account share on a vast scale, D2 can swap accounts for *their* cynonet and illegally obtain IPs for metagaming purposes, AAA can logoffski all day long -- but all that just fine now, and the ONLY crime in Eve is having a developer cheat?
EVERYONE needs to clean up their act, and the hypocrites throwing stones from glass houses need to STFU. I'm tired of ALL of it.

As I stated before, you have no proof whatsoever of any of the claims. All you know is t20 did spawn some bpo's. s far as isk value on those bpo's, without the sare bpo the profit on those is possibly 2-3billion in 6 months. That really isn't much these days. From nothing to something in just one corp!

But not you.
Not you who selectively quotes in order to avoid answering what you cannot answer, or the answering of which would expose your falseness.
There will be those that will go and shoot BoB, and there will be many of them.
But there will always be those that stay behind and cower through the forums, you disgust me tbh.
As to me referring to technicalities to back up my argument, why not? If you make an analogy through which you imply that BoB were only helped by 1% through this cheating dev, clearly referncing a number, then why can I not justifiably answer by saying that a 1% advantage would have not helped them accomplish what they have.
Finally, as to me being morally corrupt, I suggest you read the posts I have posted here over the course of the past two years and then make a judgement. Not on the basis of one post that you read through a skewed and narrow minded vision.
Oh and if you decide to answer this, please quote me in full and retort in full, not in tiny bits

Can some explain (with facts pls) how did BoB cheated?
ok this hole parania gone to far. I am gona be straight and hard to my former and current allies, sorry ASCN guys, but thats the truth.
At the beginning of BoB-ASCN war and b4 -A- invaded impass AXE moved once a gang to help at TPAR and TCAG. Every1 was accusing BoB about cheating about srv dropps etc etc. We engaged a BoB BS fleet at snipper range. We killed 10+ T2 BoB BSs, 90% of the involved ppl were AXE bcs they were T2 fitted and could hit and actual kill at those ranges, but the gang was 40 AXE and 80 ASCN, go figure. Another time we jumped from TCAG to TPAR, the node crashed, BoB logged directly back in, but no, our FC ordered us to wait till he gets intel from our covert at the jump system.
So can some pls explain how they cheated on us? I think you guys try to destroy with words what you cannot destroy in game.
So and now excuse me, I have to go kill some fatal at YM-SRU :-) ----------------------------------

Your corp mate did, and looking at your posts t20's actions don't stop you for blaming the rest of bob.
"BoB disbands, after realising they can never win again without beng tainted by accusations of help from a higher power.
The hard core of BoB form a new alliance and many old BoB players join bringing with them lots of industrial assets that ensure a fast rise to prosperity. This also fails because no-one believes that they gained these assets through game mechanics.
The BoB leadership will have to play this game forever more tainted by this stain on their characters"

It could also be because BoB thinks it might be advantageous to wait until this flamefest dies down a little (it already has somewhat, IMO) before making their post, so their thread isn't instantly derailed to oblivion.

No because I went to a website that I had no knowledge about until all this started, and read the proof.
Unlike you I make my mind up, not out of loyalty, or freindship but by reading the evidence presented and making my own judgement.
Are you really niave enough to believe that if the whistleblower hadnt bought this out in to the open we would ever know about T20's illegal activities, about how the BoB leadership have breached the EULA, and how CCP have refused to take action over those EULA breaches?

Or maybe what Dianabolic was talking about when he said "i even told you about the t20 secrets ffs" referred to something else? Not like it matters though, anything they ever say again is likely to be written off as a lie anyway.
On a side note, I was saddened when the .5. announced they were disbanding and putting the alliance to bed. Resorting to using it as a shell-corporation to alt-post with is a disgrace to everything they accomplished.

To terminate t20's employment now would appease some of the more emotional members of the community, but it would also be unfair to punish someone twice for the same misconduct.
It *was* dealt with at the time, therefore the current witchhunt lies somewhere between "unnecessary" and "misdirected".

By dealt with, do you mean the part where they let t20 keep his character in BoB, even though all of the upper-management knew he was a dev, or the part where they let BoB keep all the spawned BPOs, that they knew he spawned for BoB?

I'm guessing that:
a) At the time BoB management did not know he was a dev. b) CCP thought it was more important to cover up the situation than to deal with it, so instead of taking back the BPOs and admitting the character was a dev char, they didn't touch it.
CCP, as usual.

Or the part where CCP wre given proof of account sharing being known by BoB leadership, or the part where CCP knew about the revaeling of personal information about another player by Sir Molle.
They managed to ban one player who revealed this information within hours, Sir molle's account is still active..
Strange that, maybe Sir Molle has friends in Iceland

According to Kug's own forums Ishos posted his resignation from RKK on Wednesday the 12th of July 2006. Now I may not live in the Northern Hemisphere, but I'm pretty sure all the books I've read on the subject tell me that July lies at the height of the northern summer, which coincides nicely with what kieron said about the incident having originally been discovered over the summer of last year and the punishment that took place at the time. Read it again here.
As for BoB being aware of any wrongdoing, it's pretty clear from the quotes posted at the beginning of this very thread that they're as shocked and surprised by all this as the rest of us.

No-one is pointing the finger at the Bob members, they play the game just like anyone else.
It is the BoB leadership , who knew about the affair, and the other EULA breaches that should have the balls to do what T20 has done, and stand up and apologise for cheating.
The rank and file BoB members have nothing, zero, zip to be ashamed about. I applaud there achievements and their abilities.

I think the thing that worries people the most is If he could do something like spawning t2 bpo's what is it he couldn't do?
The reason why dev's shouldn't be playing on tranq is:
1) They know every bug or "game mechanic" as some may call it while people who pay to play lose every time bc they simply can't know all these bugs.
2) There is a test Server and if there's a 100 dev's they can have alot of 50 on 50's and also have ppl from traq on test server.
3) Dev's are paid to play eve which gives a huge disadvantage to actual rl ppl with jobs and not 10-14 hours a day to play eve.
4)I know some people who won't be playing EvE anymore due to this loss of Trust and were great dedicated members. If dev's weren't playing on Tranq, they would still be here.
I know they claim it makes the game better to have the dev's playing and I'm sure it does to a point but do the positives weigh more than the negatives?

The fact that they knew who he was means he was abusing his position, as it is against CCP's own rules to disclose developer status to anyone.
That isn't even mentioning the "secrets" Dianabolic and the rest of the leadership felt were so sensitive they couldn't even tell their membership, secrets about/from t20.

Well, honestly, if Kugu's info about the T2 BPOs was true. . .we have NO reason to believe that the rest of the stuff he posted wasn't true. Of what I saw of it. . .there were logs of BOB's leadership (Molle, Diana, and others) talking about letting people that they KNEW sold ISK on EBay to farm a plex out in BOB space and then they'd get a cut. That right there is in direct violation of the EULA. CCP themselves admitted Molle violated the EULA when he gave out Kugu's real life info like a spoiled child and asked for people to try and get him fired and whatnot. Yet, somehow, Molle still comes on the forums to announce BOB's big new war and nonsense and to talk more trash. Funny, that.
I think a LOT of us would slow up on the BOB hate if CCP would actually ever do anything to them when they broke the rules. Forget all the theories and speculation on what they MIGHT have done. We know what they DID do and CCP hasn't punished them for it yet. No wonder people are ****ed off.
Now, after that. . .the new issue becomes all the people in BOB that had no clue what was going on. Personally, I think that most of them had a pretty good idea considering how they treated everyone else on EVE-O and acted like a bunch of fools. . .but I'll go ahead and give them the benefit of the doubt. However, now that they know their leadership screwed 'em they are STILL acting like a bunch of jerks. They're flying around with [DEV] tags and whatnot and I've only seen about 2 of them show ANY remorse whatsoever over the entire incident. If I was in that alliance and I knew that I'd been lied to by my leadership and made to look like a goat, I'd either A) leave or B) start a coup and get all the dirty cheats out so I could clear my name. It really doesn't look like any BOBbits are bothering to do that tho. Instead, they are throwing themselves into another war against folks that worked to get their cheaters exposed and to pressure CCP into actually responding to the incident. Hrm. . .nice guys those BOBsters.
Face facts. If the majority of 'BOB' wants to stop the hate and rage and "witch hunts" then they have complete control/ability to do it. However, it seems like they'd rather play the victim and have a bunch of you 'tards come on here and defend them all and decry all the hate even tho it is WELL deserved. Of course, I'm sure this thread as the occasional BOB alt in it helping to sway favor back to their side as well.
Personally, once I see Molle banned and the other folks in their leadership dealt with appropriately I'll stop complaining. BOB has the right to act like a buncha A-holes, but they don't have the right to cheat.

The only one deserving of a witchhunt against him now is Kugutsumen for the way in which he has dug up what should have stayed a closed and confidential case. Unfortunately, CCP's powers only go as far as banning him from the game, but I guess that'll have to do.

For you however, it's just convenient to shout "ohnoes, they are crufifyng us for things we didn't do!!!", even if we don't blame you as a whole, because that way you can deflect the opposing argument better.
I ask all of you this: If it was about another alliance what would 90% of the regular BoB posters say on these boards? Exactly. That's why you get this treatment. Nobody believes you are 100% cheaters, it's just funnier to use your methods against you and see you complain "no fair guys"
You used every dirty trick in the book, things escalated and now it swings right back in your face. Big f*ing deal, you've done the public humiliation trick yourselves a lot of times, it's only a game, so in the words of your members "bitter much?"

This is all idle speculation. At best, One BoB director (dmZ) knew who t20 was, and its clear he wouldnt even tell the other directors.

And that has absolutely nothing to do with anything we're discussing. Especially considering that 99% of the information he posted was QUANTIFIABLE. Like the HUGE list of BOB alts. I see PLENTY of them posting in these threads and I laugh because they think nobody knows who they are.
If Kugut had lied about everything BUT T20's little scandal, then I guess CCP would have come out and denounced all his claims with proof to sate the community's appetite for information. This would all go away and everyone would blame T20 and no one else and we'd be done with it. However, that isn't the case. Kugut posted a ton of stuff. . .the overwhelming majority of which can be proven to be true by people with access. However, those people happen to be CCP and they aren't gonna do a damn thing to further hurt their rep. They were letting a few people rob the community blind and now that they've been caught they tossed out a pittance and a fake apology to try and satisfy everyone and make them shut up.

The problem is not a dev playing the game it is a dev using his powers in a wrong way. To give a advantage to one side ot take a advantage is abuse of powers and CCP should deal with them accordingly. Members who notice a pilot, dev or average joe or jane, altering the game play(cheating) it should be reposrted to the leadership as well as CCP. The leadership should put the member on trial privatly and vote to see the outcome and delt with quietly. CCP should deal with the dev on their own terms via powers removed a leave of some time without pay or a dismissile (fired). All grading on how bad the case of actions were. In truth a dev playing EVE is a good thing, this is because when they play eve they become more attactched then just a simple job. Devs don't just play eve they work and if they play, they play on their own free time not on CCPs paying watch as CCP then would be wasting money. Devs who play to the rules as every other player should and not cheat as every player shouldn't then you will never notice them. That newbie you ganked in Jita might just of been a new dev or a dev alt who followed the rules, then again that pirate that killed you in 0.1 space might be a vet player who is also a dev obeying the laws. If you remove Devs form playing a game why should they really put that much work into EVE other then just to fill the time between nine and five. If they don't really care nothing really would be new or good for the older players and focuses only for yonger players to get more people and higher numbers. As just a side note then, any person who would like to become a dev to help this game would learn they would have to never play on the main server would soon stop trying to be a dev as they would never truely see the effects of their labor. These are my own views on it. If a Dev cheated and made BPOs then they should be removed, and the dev should lose his powers for a limited time if not permanantly. If you remove the items it would be too many as it would reach outside of just BoB but to anyone who bought that ship form a station tat just happened to be from BoB. What would be worse if those ships are removed the money gained is more likly then not already spent into a different investment making it impossible to really return things to how they were. If you disband BoB what wil stop them from just reforming once again and now with a boast that it took a cheating dev and CCP to kill them and no player could of ever gotten close, that they were too powerful and were set up so they would take a fall. If your going to say I am pro BoB or agenst BoB, think what you will. They are neutral to me at the current time.

Originally by: Liquid Vision Well, honestly, if Kugu's info about the T2 BPOs was true. . .we have NO reason to believe that the rest of the stuff he posted wasn't true.
look here
And that has absolutely nothing to do with anything we're discussing. Especially considering that 99% of the information he posted was QUANTIFIABLE. Like the HUGE list of BOB alts. I see PLENTY of them posting in these threads and I laugh because they think nobody knows who they are.
If Kugut had lied about everything BUT T20's little scandal, then I guess CCP would have come out and denounced all his claims with proof to sate the community's appetite for information. This would all go away and everyone would blame T20 and no one else and we'd be done with it. However, that isn't the case. Kugut posted a ton of stuff. . .the overwhelming majority of which can be proven to be true by people with access. However, those people happen to be CCP and they aren't gonna do a damn thing to further hurt their rep. They were letting a few people rob the community blind and now that they've been caught they tossed out a pittance and a fake apology to try and satisfy everyone and make them shut up.
I give up discussing this... I'm just pointing out that your argument : X is true and X is posted by kugutsumen therefore everything posted by kugutsumen is true, is flawed. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proof_by_example

if you know of other alliances breaching the EULA have you got proof? and petitioned them?
If not, why not, ?
I only have seen proof of one that is breaching the EULA.
Go to the website that cant be mentioned on here ( I guess you know which one) and see the discussions between Bob leadership, then tell me that the leadership did not know.
Sir Molle should recieve a Temp ban? why should he be different from one other user who has recieved a permanent ban for the same offence?

Because CCP has made EVE such that a cynonet is basically required for widespread capital ship movement, and AAA, RA, and BoB would be screwed equally without one.
Goonfleet broke the EULA brazenly with their portrait hack, but nobody even got tempbanned for that. CCP just doesn't care.

I can make up chatlogs too if I wanted to. There's no way to guarantee everything on a 3rd party website is perfectly true. If Kugustumen wanted you to, he could make you believe that D2 were MC alts just by posting it there.

Are you referring to Kugustumen? I believe he was banned for the hacking, more than anything else.

Edited by: FGxHalsey on 11/02/2007 22:33:25 I don't think many BoB members were aware of the cheating but I do believe most of the leadership was aware. In my opinion the BoB leadership has no credibility anymore as it is apparent most of them were lying to the community and making fun of the community members that were trying to expose events that actually happened.
To the BoB members who didn't know: I truly am sorry that you fell into that crowd and have the taint of cheater over your head because of it.
To the "Proof or STFU" crowd: next time be careful what you ask for, you might just get it.

Originally by: Liquid Vision Yes, Ben. . .Kugut should be the one where ALL our rage is directed because he actually forced CCP into addressing the issue and reseeding the ill-gotten BPOs. . . .SIX MONTHS AFTER THEY WERE DISCOVERED!!!
How many more times to I need to point this out?
Originally by: Liquid Vision Man, you CCP/BOB apologist keep getting more pathetic by the minute.
First one to get personal on a forum debate loses. 
Seriously, I was undecided on this particular issue myself until it was revealed that CCP dealt with the issue internally at the time last year. I don't think BoB are completely innocent on all charges (making deals with known ebayers is a cause for concern), and the irony of things like their sigs/forum conduct during the ASCN war is not lost on me, but right now there's a lot of blind hate out there towards the alliance as a whole which I believe is simply unwarranted.

again.. go to that website and read.. It is notable that BoB have not denied the content or claimed that the content reproduced on there is made up.
probably because they know it has been saved to hard drives with details that can show their accuracy!!
Although that could be their next tactic (screen shots this post with time and date for royalties) if they that silly
and the message detailing the reason for the account banning is also on there.. guess what ? its for revealing personal info, exactly what Sir Molle has also done

Hacking what.. a 3rd party out of game private site??? That makes no difference to the fact that Sir Molle violated a clear permaban policy of posting RL players info on an ingame official site.
I dont hate the man..but he must be banned.

No you don't get it hence i am gonna start thinking u are tard.
Bob wasn't exposed it was t20 who was exposed. Point at which it happened was exposed as well. Who the **** are you to know who is involved and on what level? and how the **** u can make statements like that? Hence BoB don't cheat, BoB is better than you which BoB showed on countless chances, by kicking your corp ass over and over again and which all of you BoB haters prove here again and again By fighting BoB only when u have double numbers and usually getting your asses kicked regardless. When its close to even Numbers you dock, hide, pos so STFU and so again hence BoB don't cheat, BoB is better than you are, and you are bitter little tard. As for what tehy acomplished at least they have something they acomplished. You have lost region and current region handed to you by D2 to be a meat shield and pet alliance. And even that region wouldnt be yours if it wasnt for whole north comming to your aid.
So kthx and bye
go crawl up your masters ass maybe they will let you into their incompetent fleet for some fleet fight here and there.

Point out what exactly? That they didn't really punish T20 at all and that they let BOB KEEP the ill-gotten BPOs for 6 months? Hell, if not for Kugutsumen BOB would STILL have those BPOs and they'd have them until the end of time and we would have no idea it ever happened!! I guess for you tho CCP has done everything it needs to and is totally in the clear, right?
It's like someone stealing $100 million bucks. . .getting caught, and then giving the money to his friends and family to use for 6 months. Then, the only reason the police come to take the money back is because the populace finds out that they didn't take it 6 months prior when they supposedly "punished" the robber. I mean, seriously. . .use some logic here bro. CCP tried to cover everything up. CCP has not punished T20 at all. I haven't heard of him getting a pay cut, having to give up his employee parking spot next to the front door, or anything of substance other than giving up that one individual character which was in RKK. From what we've seen already, I'm guessing CCP just made him change the name and go elsewhere in EVE. Wow. . .WHAT a punishment my friends. Damn, remind me NEVER to move to Iceland. . .those guys are STRICT!!

Yes, and it looks like the RKK directors didn't know either, that those BPOs were not won in the lottery. Perhaps you should read the logs again !

Funny how the only response you BOB alts and BOB fanbois have is that people must be made because they got beat by BOB. Yeah, 90% of the playerbase is mad because BOB pwned them ALL because BOB is so UBER-1337!!! YARRRRRRRR!!
Maybe it's because BOB are a bunch of self-righteous you-know-whats and their leadership is full of lying cheats......NAH! Let's stick with the BOB pwned everyone and now everyone is mad idea.

You should ask around your allies. Something makes me believe, that some alliance harbored complex farming ebayers and something tells me that BoB is also not the only alliance, who rented out a 10/10 to some supposed ebayers in a situation, when it benefitted them. Although I don't like such things ! I think it sux.
Ok, maybe I have just dreamed it, but I'd EVE isn't black and white, there is a lot of grey. ------ Who wants to be Caldari, if he could be 1337 instead ? Minnie 4tw ! ^^ |

Pretty funny watching the jealous people cry just because they didn't get any special help themselves. Cheating is fun, as long as you're the one doing it.
How about just shutting the F up and go along playing your game? A few BPO's won't help you defeat an enemy. Stop trying to make excuses for your lack of skill as a whole. Survival of the fittest. You don't win wars by complaining.
Anyone who continues to cry about such unimportant events which had no influence on any pvp matches from now on is just looking for attention. This is hardly as influential as the affect of selling isk/chars on ebay has on pvp. *snip* Your signature may not contain any profanity - Kreul Intentions |

You guys do realize that there are thousands upon thousands of EULA breakers in this game right? Its not right but it makes EVE go round. It is a simple as that. So dont go ape-poo about people in BoB trading accounts and what not, they are not worse than anybody else on that perticular subject, buying accounts has been going on since the dawn of EVE.
And I see many many microers around on my travels of EVE, do I care? No, not really, this is a game, its ok not to care! It is not my problem and I will absolutely not spend $20/month only doing petitions. Will you?
Cheers, Lowa

It does seem 99% of BOb members had no idea about what was going on and have just been pawns in this as much as the rest of EVE.
However why arent the 99% of BOB asking deep questions in their leaders and kicking out the few who have caused their reputation to be tarnished. If the leadership are refusing to do anything then the BOB grunts should leave to save their own integrity as it shows their leadership has none
If BOB do nothing and dont act strong in showing EVE they do not accept cheating in their ranks no matter how high it goes they will never be able to hold their heads up high and say what we achieve is through hard work and not cheating, hacks or exploits
The Ball is in BOBs court, act well now and your reputation can be saved, act badly now or do nothing it will be lost for ever.

I have made it very clear that it is BoBs leadership who knew about this EULA transgressions that should take responsibilty for them.
And you know this because... they told you? Didn't think so.
They know because some guy used illegal methods for meta-gaming purpouses. Which is O.K. by certain members of snigg, who until now i thought were a decent corp. Apparently my judgement is very blurred these days.
Originally by: merc999 No because I went to a website that I had no knowledge about until all this started, and read the proof.
Unlike you I make my mind up, not out of loyalty, or freindship but by reading the evidence presented and making my own judgement. Are you really niave enough to believe that if the whistleblower hadnt bought this out in to the open we would ever know about T20's illegal activities, about how the BoB leadership have breached the EULA, and how CCP have refused to take action over those EULA breaches?
kieron has stated the use of cynonets is being looked into. Not only BoB have been accused of this, many major alliances have, including d2 (omg they must be sploiters too!). Secondly, by saying "all the evidence" you mean some illegally obtained messages from a forum which could be easily faked anyways? gg. I do not doubt parts of these were correct, but there is no way of telling how much, so by saying all the evidence you still have massive gaps, and as such cannot shout "GUILTY!".

i will confirm that. AFAIK there are very few people still left within ATUK, it is held so that others may not abuse the alliance tag (aka CA) and corporation name, THUS destroying what Script built up.

@ liquid vision.. the more kuguts posts that is true, the more he will be tempted by the dark side to cause an even bigger **** storm with falsified information. Its all about the psychology.
Originally by: Liquid Vision Edited by: Liquid Vision on 11/02/2007 22:20:12
Listen you dolt. . .the only thing flawed here is you and the fact that you're a BOBbit who is part of their CynoNET and you're posting with an alt because you're a spineless GUILTY coward. No wonder you're trying to pin Kugut as a liar. . .HE BUSTED YOU ADMITTING TO BREAKING THE EULA!! Go away, people are tired of the spin and the lies.
further to point, your now saying anyone who defends BoB's member base is a boppet? Petty insults , random fact throwing that is irrelevant and generalisations that have no real tangible arguements. Please come back when you have figured out whats what.
Originally by: merc999 BTW.. lets be very clear here, there is no proof of any illegal "Hacking", there are ways to get access to private forums without using any illegal methods. any stating that a person "HAS" hacked without proof on a public forum can be very silly 
using known liabilities in a system is still classed as hacking, as it is accessing and retrieinvg data from a server which is not his property. NQP. From nothing to something in just one corp!

you just dont get it do u , BoB have been exposed of cheating at some point during their gameplay - but at what point did it start or end and at what level. this is the problem. u discover a chap at your poker table who has been winning all night , the last hand u catch him cheating, doesnt mean he cheated at every hand dealt but the suspicion is there and every palyer on that table beats the crap out of the cheater and takes back thier chips.
its obvious every member of BoB wasnt in on it , but the core players , the directors were no doubt - whence BoB cheat , whence every thing they have accomplished is nothing because once a cheater always a cheater.
No you don't get it hence i am gonna start thinking u are tard.
Bob wasn't exposed it was t20 who was exposed. Point at which it happened was exposed as well. Who the **** are you to know who is involved and on what level? and how the **** u can make statements like that? Hence BoB don't cheat, BoB is better than you which BoB showed on countless chances, by kicking your corp ass over and over again and which all of you BoB haters prove here again and again By fighting BoB only when u have double numbers and usually getting your asses kicked regardless. When its close to even Numbers you dock, hide, pos so STFU and so again hence BoB don't cheat, BoB is better than you are, and you are bitter little tard. As for what tehy acomplished at least they have something they acomplished. You have lost region and current region handed to you by D2 to be a meat shield and pet alliance. And even that region wouldnt be yours if it wasnt for whole north comming to your aid.
So kthx and bye
go crawl up your masters ass maybe they will let you into their incompetent fleet for some fleet fight here and there.

1. The matter is not up to us to handle. Demanding any action from CCP and/or BoB makes you look silly.
2. There is no evidence. Kugutsumen's blog is no evidence. That some of it might have been true is not a logical basis to assume that all of it must be true. CCP statements are no evidence. This is all just a matter of faith. Trust CCP or Kugutsumen. If I trusted Kugutsumen with all he wrote, I would not be writing this. I would not be playing.
3. CCP and t20 admitted. They did not have to! Nothing was proven, as again, that blog was no proof. They could have said "everything written there was a lie" and more people would trust them than they do now, ironically.
4. You can now either: a) Trust CCP and shut up. b) Stop playing and find a game you have more trust in.
5. If BoB feel they have nothing to admit, you can either trust them or join the BoB rapewagon. Attacking them on the forums over it is more pathetic than what you believe they have done. Again, if you believe they would use dev powers to defend, feel free to leave.
6. BoB could have kept it all silent if they gave Kugu what he wanted. They saw no reason to. Either that or there is a deep Dev/BoB conspiracy going on. If it is, you will never find any proof about it, so believe what you will, and act in accordance with your belief - leave the game or shut up.
7. The hacker was not banned for the same thing Molle was not!!!! He was banned for blackmailing CCP, revealing dev identities, RL forum hacks, and NOT coming forth with his info but rather making ISK from it. What a hero! I would venture a guess that revealing a player's name, first letter of last name, and city he is located in, then removing that a couple of minutes later, is perhaps grounds for a forum warning, not for a ban. Comparing the two is frankly so silly it seems most of you haven't actually any firsthand information on what happened, but are just quoting others that have poor cognitive skills.
8. This will blow over. The flames are already dying down and the action is moving from out of game back to the game. I know this is our world (community's), and that it is dear and important to us ... but this is not the New York Times headline. It won't even remain on gaming sites for long, and gaming articles will remain nicely ambiguous and accentuate the proven, while merely listing other allegations.
Most people screaming and yelling here will stay in eve. Those that really left aren't here to post.
The universe will go on, and we will all again pewpew. Aliances will hold devs among them under much closer scrutiny now. And CCP will watch all devs much more now. All in all, galaxy will be a better place ... eveyone that can will grow up here a bit.

ok after we put a fatal pos in reinforced, here we go again :-)
Some months ago there was an ugly bugwith the 8/10 plexes respawn timer. Many major aliances exploited it. Any1 got banned? No. Why? dont know. The damage delt by this bug was a lot more than the damage delt by some crapy t2 bpos or even the other 4 the blackmailer accused T20 gave him self.
To ppl wondering why CCP dosent do nothing about cyno nets, here is ur answer. More than the 50% of the eve population is sharing accs in some degree (even if only for skill change) and the other 50% knows about it. Ok lets ban every1 then :-)
Just see what happens in ur corp. You dont know some1 who bought or accuired an account? If you dont petition it, you should be banned.
Ok here is the ultimate solution to the lag problem. Lets ban every1 :-)
As far as SirMolle goes. He should get a temp ban, for posting RL info. But he had the balls not to accept the blackmail and not to cover things up. Just thing about it. If SirMolle accepted the blackmail, would we discusing about this matter here now? Dont think so :-) ----------------------------------

The problem is not a dev playing the game it is a dev using his powers in a wrong way. To give a advantage to one side ot take a advantage is abuse of powers and CCP should deal with them accordingly. Members who notice a pilot, dev or average joe or jane, altering the game play(cheating) it should be reposrted to the leadership as well as CCP. The leadership should put the member on trial privatly and vote to see the outcome and delt with quietly. CCP should deal with the dev on their own terms via powers removed a leave of some time without pay or a dismissile (fired). All grading on how bad the case of actions were. In truth a dev playing EVE is a good thing, this is because when they play eve they become more attactched then just a simple job. Devs don't just play eve they work and if they play, they play on their own free time not on CCPs paying watch as CCP then would be wasting money. Devs who play to the rules as every other player should and not cheat as every player shouldn't then you will never notice them. That newbie you ganked in Jita might just of been a new dev or a dev alt who followed the rules, then again that pirate that killed you in 0.1 space might be a vet player who is also a dev obeying the laws. If you remove Devs form playing a game why should they really put that much work into EVE other then just to fill the time between nine and five. If they don't really care nothing really would be new or good for the older players and focuses only for yonger players to get more people and higher numbers. As just a side note then, any person who would like to become a dev to help this game would learn they would have to never play on the main server would soon stop trying to be a dev as they would never truely see the effects of their labor. These are my own views on it. If a Dev cheated and made BPOs then they should be removed, and the dev should lose his powers for a limited time if not permanantly. If you remove the items it would be too many as it would reach outside of just BoB but to anyone who bought that ship form a station tat just happened to be from BoB. What would be worse if those ships are removed the money gained is more likly then not already spent into a different investment making it impossible to really return things to how they were. If you disband BoB what wil stop them from just reforming once again and now with a boast that it took a cheating dev and CCP to kill them and no player could of ever gotten close, that they were too powerful and were set up so they would take a fall. If your going to say I am pro BoB or agenst BoB, think what you will. They are neutral to me at the current time.
So the dev's knowing whats coming up in the next patch far before anyone else does Right?
Whats going to stop them from buying a mod or whatever that is going to jump up in price after patch so they maximize profit?
And don't tell me ccp watches out for that stuff looking through logs just to rat out one of their own.

I think t20 should resign for the good of CCP. CCP don't want to fire him and punish him twice but I must admit he'd never see another paycheck if he was my employee.
I think all of this could have been avoided if BoB's character hasn't been attrocious over the course of their existance.
They, and every other major alliance in EVE, is guilty of metagaming : sharing accounts, ts/vent/forum infiltration, character assasination out of game.
The problem I think is that BoB prides itself on a lot of these things, especially 'social engineering' to gain ts/vent/forum access. Personally I despise that type of game play but realize if you play in the same ballbark of the large alliances you will have to use it at some point because you are kidding yourself if its an effective tool to counter it being used against you.
There are a few things CCP could do to correct this situation. I feel simple ingame forums that are build around CCP servers, in game browser and roles should be built to safety net ALL alliances/corps from 3rd party hacking.
The voice system in EVE will hopefully calmdown TS/Vent infiltration although I don't if this will be a longterm solution.
The review commitee over employee actions also needs to be swift and consistant under all circumstances.
*****
I believe BoB is just suffering an ego deflation that it truely deserved as a whole. However, I think the public need to realize that we play this game for fun including BoB. You don't need to like people to respect them and I think the community in general, for the sake of quality of life in EVE, need to step back and accept people make mistakes.
Let karma, justice, or what personal 'what goes around comes around' philosophy you subscribe to work its work and be happy that in the end no matter what is said or done... BoB still provide some of the best player content in EVE free of charge to ALL who play this game.
Got a problem with BoB in 2007 and on... equip your ship and do something about it.

T20 needs to jump before he drags CCP's name any further through the dirt; and anyone in RKK/BoB who knew that they had a pet Dev in their pocket needs to be permabanned right now.
Once both of those have happened, CCP needs to put some more rules in place. For example, something like "If you know a dev is in your corp and don't report it, you will get permabanned. If you report it, you won't". would probably have been useful about a year ago. -- I want my people to reclaim their rightful place in the galaxy...

Well, that's not what kieron says. Or am I supposed to believe you over him?
Originally by: Liquid Vision I haven't heard of him getting a pay cut, having to give up his employee parking spot next to the front door, or anything of substance other than giving up that one individual character which was in RKK. From what we've seen already, I'm guessing...
Yes. You are guessing, and that's all.
I don't know what happened to him either, but I don't care because I don't think it's any of our business, yours or mine. But if you think you're so important that you need to know everything down to who has what in their sandwiches every day, then there's no point in me discussing anything further with you.

So then why do we have the EULA Lowa? Why at all? Why have people ACTUALLY BEEN BANNED if we're ALL cheating? Please, when you come up with a logical answer lemme know. Not everyone breaks the EULA. It's like saying that because 1000s of people don't wear their seatbelts everyday that they should get away with it because other people are doing it too? Seriously, you get votes for dumbest post of the year award. Sorry bud, but that was just too terrible.

5.Attacking them on the forums is what bob themselves has made into an art form for the last few years.

What I want to know is why the mods are allowing you to spam the corporations forum when you dont have a corp or alliance ticker up under your name.
And if those people DID post kugut's real info and name, etc. they should be banned as well. However, I don't think they did and if so they certainly weren't doing it to try and get him fired like Molle was. I mean, talk about childish tactics. . .
Anyways. . .ban people who break the EULA or trash the EULA and be done with it and let everyone sell ISK on EBay, get dev help, and account share out the wazzoo.

maybe , they got the right to keep everything under cover. But the eve universe is so PvP oriented that we need to know the playing field is even. If we doubt that the players will start to loose the will to play. CCP will rather let rkk have the bpos for 6 months instead of letting the community know. That tells us that they dont care if it is a balanced playing as long as things are kept quiet. How many games of chess will you bother to play against an opponent that moves pieces when you are not looking. Atm playing eve is playing that opponent. If CCP treats this as an internal affair again we will still think they move the pieces when we dont look. you'll never jump alone

Can someone help me out here:
What have BoB, apart from the character played by t20, Actually done wrong?
I havnt seen ANY proof that any of BoB had the faintest clue the BPOs were dodgy. I mean its not like ****ty ammo BPOs and a single, mediocre, ship would set off alarms for me, many many people have far better collection.
There is proof that one member of BoB THOUGHT he knew who t20 was, and also evidence that he DIDNT tell other BoB leaders who asked about it. What has he or they done wrong?
T20 did wrong, but what did BoB do wrong?

Originally by: Liquid Vision CCP tried to cover everything up.
Of course they did, and rightfully so. This was an internal company affair and it should have stayed that way.
Originally by: Liquid Vision CCP has not punished T20 at all.
Well, that's not what kieron says. Or am I supposed to believe you over him?
Originally by: Liquid Vision I haven't heard of him getting a pay cut, having to give up his employee parking spot next to the front door, or anything of substance other than giving up that one individual character which was in RKK. From what we've seen already, I'm guessing...
Yes. You are guessing, and that's all.
I don't know what happened to him either, but I don't care because I don't think it's any of our business, yours or mine. But if you think you're so important that you need to know everything down to who has what in their sandwiches every day, then there's no point in me discussing anything further with you.
/Ben
Man, you seriously are unbelievable. Ya know. . .next time George Bush attacks another country I'm just gonna go "Welp, ol' Georgey SAID he had a GOOD reason for doing it so it MUST be true. It t'aint none o' my business what Georgey does or doesn't do even tho I pay his salary and fund his projects with my taxes. Da-HUUUUUUUUUUUR."
The levels of idiocy by some of you just astounds me. How in the world was this an "internal company affair" when it affected everyone playing on Tranquility? How did they "punish" T20 when they didn't fire his ass like the EULA SAYS they should do and they allowed BOB to keep all those BPOs until kugut smoked them out?
I suppose I should just morph into one of you drones and find a nice patch of sand to stick my head in so I can be fat and happy and carefree about all the rampant corruption in the game.
And how in the world do you know if they did or didn't fire him? And since when is the company's internal policies any of your business anyway? And who are you to say what is or isn't true or false? You don't know more than me or anyone else, and that is pure arrogance on your part. As far as i've understood this mess, one hacker accessed some forums by hacking other people's forum accounts. That is afaik a crime and punishable with a jail sentance. In the actual world, evidence obtained illegally, IS NOT ACCEPTED AS PROOF IN A COURT OF LAW. But moving on... Did it uncover some possible abuse by CCP staff? CCP has admited that one of their staff did abuse his position, and that has been dealt with. So end of story. Coming in here asking for blood of other fellow players without knowing all the facts, without being in a position to know those facts, without any proof, and only doing so because you "hate" them and let that be your judge, is just beyond ridiculous, to say the least and to not be offensive. You don't know more than CCP. And if we are going to punish people based on "guesses" or what we would like to see happen than you are not enjoying a game, but are more like living in an alternate reality.
You (the EVE community in general) now have a couple choices:
a) Move on and keep enjoying the game for what it is, and accept CCP's explanations on this matter
b) You don't believe CCP and you quit your EVE account and quit the game and move on.
Personally, this game is the funnest game i've ever played. And i'm enjoying it regardless of any of these latest "events". I enjoy it for what it is: a game. When/if i stop enjoying it, the way out is quitting and moving on.
Maybe some of you should think about that. |

An apology is not enough at this point. It WOULD have been enough 6 months ago, and if people didnt get banned, and if threads werent locked and deleted, and if the devs and said accused alliance didnt deny everything, but at this point its far too little far too late.
I dont believe CCP has come clean, nor do I believe BoB's directors knew nothing about what happened. Only one person got banned out of this whole mess, and he was the one who GAVE us the proverbial Watergate memo. At the moment I dont care if he got banned for hacking. I dont PAY him, I PAY CCP. A company that games their own game. Arent they suppose to ***** down on cheaters?
What an upsidedown situation.

I'm not denying that there isn't corruption in Eve - the goons modified their clients for a long time and got away with it, and then there's the 8/10 debacle. But I think the likes of Lowa and Zeveron make a good point about the extent at which CCP chooses to see it.

So the dev's knowing whats coming up in the next patch far before anyone else does Right?
Whats going to stop them from buying a mod\bpo or whatever that is going to jump up in price after patch so they maximize profit?
And don't tell me ccp watches out for that stuff looking through logs just to rat out one of their own when they have better stuff to be concerned about.(like lag)
Fact is they have an unfair advantage no matter if their blatently cheating or not.
Notice I'm not trashing BoB how much guilt their is there I don't know.
But I do know this whole mess was caused by a Dev (that got caught)
How many don't get caught?
What mod or BPO has went up in price significantly from this Rev update? More or less item prices for t2 goods have been going down, t2 cap rechargers have changed from about 24mil to 8mil. Yes the Devs get a heads up is they use that in some way is cheating the same way with insider trading. It's a person's choice to cheat or not, should we chop down a apple tree just because a few of the apples were rotten? as you said "How many don't get caught?" I only ask how many follow the rules. A little side note, how can they stop someone from playing? Do they ban their creditcard numbers, we have GTC for that. Will they ban IP codes, they work for CCP, they can simple get a new computer for just recreation. There is no way to stop a Dev from playing. As for hacking, a hacker is almost the same as a dev, just depends on who's paying them. A skilled programer is all a hacker or a dev really is, given GM powers or forced GM powers.

Hey. . .Einstein. . .CCP straight up SAID they didn't fire his ass. He's still showing up to work and drawing a paycheck. They said they "punished" him back 6 months ago and thus they wouldn't "punish" him again. Obviously if we had gotten fired they wouldn't have to say they wouldn't punish him again 'cause he'd already be gone!
The company's policies are MY business when they selectively start applying the rules to people. For some reason CCP thinks it makes good business sense to ban some people for the slightest wrong act according to their holy EULA while at other times people that take the EULA, stomp on it, rip it into shreds, and then **** on it don't even get a slap on the wrist! God you're freaking dense. I'm not surprised tho because you're a spineless alt who probably is guilty as sin right now and praying every night that nothing else comes to light about this situation.
Listen this time. Really listen. Molle broke the EULA. CCP admitted this. Molle should be banned according to the EULA. MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN BANNED FOR LESS yet this lying cheat gets to run his mouth off, let his alliance run around Tranquility with [DEV] tags, and do whatever he freaking pleases. I mean is Molle CCP's prime stockholder or something? Did he prevent an asteroid from hitting Iceland or something? It boggles the freaking mind, man.
And you're wrong. There's a LOT more choices for us here in the community. We can keep the pressure on and MAKE CCP come completely clean and do the right thing or we can convince everyone to quit and then guys like you will be stuck shooting rocks in space because there won't be anyone to play with.

Man, you're seriously a hoot. Yes, real life politics have absolutely nothing to do with this argument yet you people keep bringing up the fact that kugut is a hacker that broke RL rules and thus he should be banned. Or you say that he broke the EULA and he should be banned but that somehow guys like Molle that broke the EULA shouldn't. . .geniuses at work, lemme tell ya!
Yeah, you're right. . .it's CCP's EULA. . .and obviously it isn't worth anything more than to wipe your bum with. It's also my $14.95 every month and my favorite hobby. . .so, as such, I have every right to complain all I want and push for changes to be made. Now. . .what is that tired old statement you're always throwing out? Oh yeah. . .that's right. "If you don't like it. . .leave." Pack your bags, because I'll be hanging around shouting it to the mountaintops until CCP does the right thing and makes some changes. And no. . .you aren't cool with your snide responses and flippant attitude and yes, most people here despise you and your purple ass-kissing lips.

there was speculation that DB Preacher purchased characters out of game which is a very bannable offense, there was speculation that BOB received a mothership through the leaking of information about an unanounced event, there was speculation without any public factual basis that much more could have been garnered from bob such as an intimate knowledge of server mechanics and how to exploit them, there was speculation that BOB directors had some form of access into the petition process and knew certain things about the original case of t20 being petitioned which it would not have been possible to know without an internal contact.... the list goes on but suffice to say its quite a bit longer then what was ever discussed by ccp or openly admitted to
I have my own views on all of this but I am not discussing them here and now I am merely answering your question of what else did bob do wrong(allegedly)

T20 did wrong, but what did BoB do wrong?
Are we choosing to ignore the, at this point credible, evidence that t20 is close personal friends with a primary RKK director and that they discussed information he gave them and that some of them were upset that they had not been told who he was and what information had been disclosed sooner, for purposes of this discussion?
Why do people insist that speculation is baseless when we are confronted with two options;
1) Trust a company that hid something this important from us for six months and is continuing to lie to us about what happened.
2) Take as somewhat credible information from a source that has had his information officially corroborated and has not said anyting demonstrably false.
There is very good reason to believe that at least some of the RKK top brass (and probably by association some of the overall BoB leadership) was complicit in this. We certainly can't trust CCP to do anything at all about this unless we, as a community, dig into the matter ourselves and see what we can find.

Originally by: Wicked Child Plain and simple sir Molle needs to be perma banned for releasing a players RL info. This is cut and dry bannable offense.
shall we ban The Mittani to for post kugs real name all over the boards multiple times? Go look at his posts that al have moderators saying "please dont reveal personal information"?
Shall we ban the goons that posted his name on the boards to?
Oh sorry there not BOB I forgot that this isn't the justice thread its the lynch thread.
What I want to know is why the mods are allowing you to spam the corporations forum when you dont have a corp or alliance ticker up under your name.
And if those people DID post kugut's real info and name, etc. they should be banned as well. However, I don't think they did and if so they certainly weren't doing it to try and get him fired like Molle was. I mean, talk about childish tactics. . .
Anyways. . .ban people who break the EULA or trash the EULA and be done with it and let everyone sell ISK on EBay, get dev help, and account share out the wazzoo.
hey if you want ccp to follow their rules, they should give a forum ban for 1 man corp trolls like you
Oh noes! A BOB puppet mad that someone is speaking out against the corruption. Run and hide everyone!
I run a legit corporation and I don't need a cheating alliance to back me up to do it.
The Blackmailer/Hacker also accuses LV beeing handed a MS in an event, bcs some1 from CCP staff gave intel to them. Lets disband LV and permaban the Council.
But that would be handy for you mr Alt. Ohhh noes, better Mss Alt, bcs you dont have the balls to post with ur main. You cannot destroy them in game and you try to do that with empty accusations :-)
Learn to speak and type English and then come back and try again. Until then. . .my only reply to your post is. . .HUH?
And this is my main. Ask CCP if you want. Not everyone is a BOB alt hiding in the shadows. . .just those defending everything BOB and CCP do together.
if you type a sentence in greek then I ll learn perfect english. Well if you want justice, then CCP should ban the hole eve population. I am not going to type again why every1 should banned, just scrol some pages up :-) But you seem to conzentrate ur fire vs BoB, so who is wrong here? Me posting with my main, who was shooting BoB and LV allies some hours ago or you posting with an alt? ----------------------------------

Originally by: Liquid Vision And how in the world do you know if they did or didn't fire him? And since when is the company's internal policies any of your business anyway? And who are you to say what is or isn't true or false? You don't know more than me or anyone else, and that is pure arrogance on your part. As far as i've understood this mess, one hacker accessed some forums by hacking other people's forum accounts. That is afaik a crime and punishable with a jail sentance. In the actual world, evidence obtained illegally, IS NOT ACCEPTED AS PROOF IN A COURT OF LAW. But moving on... Did it uncover some possible abuse by CCP staff? CCP has admited that one of their staff did abuse his position, and that has been dealt with. So end of story. Coming in here asking for blood of other fellow players without knowing all the facts, without being in a position to know those facts, without any proof, and only doing so because you "hate" them and let that be your judge, is just beyond ridiculous, to say the least and to not be offensive. You don't know more than CCP. And if we are going to punish people based on "guesses" or what we would like to see happen than you are not enjoying a game, but are more like living in an alternate reality.
You (the EVE community in general) now have a couple choices:
a) Move on and keep enjoying the game for what it is, and accept CCP's explanations on this matter
b) You don't believe CCP and you quit your EVE account and quit the game and move on.
Personally, this game is the funnest game i've ever played. And i'm enjoying it regardless of any of these latest "events". I enjoy it for what it is: a game. When/if i stop enjoying it, the way out is quitting and moving on.
Maybe some of you should think about that.
Hey. . .Einstein. . .CCP straight up SAID they didn't fire his ass. He's still showing up to work and drawing a paycheck. They said they "punished" him back 6 months ago and thus they wouldn't "punish" him again. Obviously if we had gotten fired they wouldn't have to say they wouldn't punish him again 'cause he'd already be gone!
The company's policies are MY business when they selectively start applying the rules to people. For some reason CCP thinks it makes good business sense to ban some people for the slightest wrong act according to their holy EULA while at other times people that take the EULA, stomp on it, rip it into shreds, and then **** on it don't even get a slap on the wrist! God you're freaking dense. I'm not surprised tho because you're a spineless alt who probably is guilty as sin right now and praying every night that nothing else comes to light about this situation.
Listen this time. Really listen. Molle broke the EULA. CCP admitted this. Molle should be banned according to the EULA. MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN BANNED FOR LESS yet this lying cheat gets to run his mouth off, let his alliance run around Tranquility with [DEV] tags, and do whatever he freaking pleases. I mean is Molle CCP's prime stockholder or something? Did he prevent an asteroid from hitting Iceland or something? It boggles the freaking mind, man.
And you're wrong. There's a LOT more choices for us here in the community. We can keep the pressure on and MAKE CCP come completely clean and do the right thing or we can convince everyone to quit and then guys like you will be stuck shooting rocks in space because there won't be anyone to play with.
signed/ p.s. Am i the only one that finds it odd people believe a DEV would risk his job to just make "small"(according to BOD fans)bpos appear for BOB?(unless he knew nothing would happen to him) Are people that ignorant to believe just because a LIAR/CHEATING DEV admits to things he absolutely knows he can't hide that theres nothing else to what he has done in the name of BOB.

its obvious every member of BoB wasnt in on it , but the core players , the directors were no doubt - whence BoB cheat , whence every thing they have accomplished is nothing because once a cheater always a cheater.
No you don't get it hence i am gonna start thinking u are tard.
Bob wasn't exposed it was t20 who was exposed. Point at which it happened was exposed as well. Who the **** are you to know who is involved and on what level? and how the **** u can make statements like that? Hence BoB don't cheat, BoB is better than you which BoB showed on countless chances, by kicking your corp ass over and over again and which all of you BoB haters prove here again and again By fighting BoB only when u have double numbers and usually getting your asses kicked regardless. When its close to even Numbers you dock, hide, pos so STFU and so again hence BoB don't cheat, BoB is better than you are, and you are bitter little tard. As for what tehy acomplished at least they have something they acomplished. You have lost region and current region handed to you by D2 to be a meat shield and pet alliance. And even that region wouldnt be yours if it wasnt for whole north comming to your aid.
So kthx and bye
go crawl up your masters ass maybe they will let you into their incompetent fleet for some fleet fight here and there.
i could just as easily say the same about u guys mr alt , but i didnt . the implications are there none the less ,

TBH I think alot of EVE is mad because countless times CCP/BOB have said without a doubt, "There are NO DEV/GM's in BOB". Its obvious to many Eve pilots that CCP/BOB ignored...or didnt care to look deep. Their Failure to admit that much is obviously a lack of wanting to make sure their credability is intact. Fact is a 3rd party found all this info, yet BOB/CCP after many petitions never seem to find anything till 3rd party info!!
FYI im a main to tired to put tags but hey i see atleast half a dozen other posts without tags that are PRO BOB so i guess thats ok

ON the topic of BOB as a whole losing all they have done credit wise.....YES.. no matter what in RL or gaming once its found you have cheated in anyway. Your creditability is SHOT!! Accept it!! Like all BOBBIT fan boys say accept it and move on,right? Once BOB prove NOW they can keep pwning all and easy, NO ONE CARES what you did when you had DEV POWAH!!! NOW, after all your public smack talking about you can and want all of EVE to fight you because your UBER. Just think you'll get it soon i think. So we should expect anything less from Bobbits that their glad they get the fights they want because they have always claimed they want to take on everyone(maybe because false sence of DEV uberness). Either way you should be HAPPY.. YAY for the tinfoil commanders

For those questioning what CCP may have done to punish t20: I don't know what the policy in Iceland is generally, but most American companies won't publically discuss personnel issues, period, unless the individual is a CEO or similar individual placed within a publicly-held corporation, generally someone hired directly by the board of directors. If it is not a matter of fiduciary oversight, commenting on internal personnel decisions can easily lead to lawsuits of defamation, slander and libel even if the sanctions are legitimate. I can't tell you how many training sessions I've had on the subject over the years. |

So, CCP has decided to go easy on BOB and T20.
Fine. It just means that they will have the issue of favouritism floating around for months to come.
The only thing that I wonder is whether T20 or any other DEVs (for that matter) have assisted BOB in their conflicts, with game mechanics and whatever else.
I know chances of us finding out are slim to none but I will always wonder. POS's acting weird, Outposts acting weird, and whatever else people have experienced in the last few years.
Would BOB be where they are without DEVs among their ranks. EVEN if they did not know anything about the help they where receiving.

Hate ta break it to ya. . .but if an employee was caught embezelling money from a major US corporation or affecting the stockholders in any negative way his name would prolly make the papers. Same applies here. Who cares if T20 doesn't wash his hands after he takes a leak, eats all the donuts left for the devs, or gets in a huge freaking fight with his fellow employees? All that WOULD be internal matters. However, he actively screwed the customers and CCP actively covered up that fact. THAT is called lying to your shareholders if we're talking about your real life US corporation and those people would probably get a talking to by the government in the form of the SEC or some other nasty fellas. Jail time might ensue.

Edited by: Salys Groumf on 12/02/2007 07:08:46 Hello,
My understanding is that t20 was quickly promoted to a high position in BoB because of its knowledge about capital fleet. I think that clearly respond to the "privilegied information" problem ( and that bother me a lot more than the BPO)
Also an other question: Is t20 still in BoB under another name?
For me, fired or not is a "private" CCP matter but was he banned from the game ? or was is character just renamed?
PS I'm in TCF if that detail matter but I don't know how to make my alliance appear

I think your campaign is a bit one sided atm :-)
Why do you keep talking like you know things about me? I'm NOT an alt and my source has been and always will be kugutsumen. Like I said, if The Mittani or whoever gave out kugut's real info he should be gone as well. He isn't my best buddy. Him and I don't spawn T2 BPOs together and let macro miners farm our plexes. In fact, I've never spoken to the guy and it is my opinion he should burn just as much as Molle should. Either that or let kugut have his accounts back. Right now the EULA is junk because it isn't a standard document. Obviously there is the "General Populace EULA", the "0.0 Longtime Subscribers EULA", and the "BOB and our closest and most personal friends including devs EULA".
Of course my campaign is one sided. We haven't found any information about devs cheating for other alliances. If tomorrow we find out that Oveur was secretly giving Goonswarm loads of T2 BPOs (note the irony here considering T2 and goons don't go well together in the same sentence ) then I'd be calling for all of them to get the axe as well. However, we DON'T have that info and CCP hasn't been covering up their misdeeds for the past six months.
As it is I hope a dev spawns me some T2 BPOs because I'll strike it rich and won't even get a slap on the wrist!

Btw. Kugutsumen was banned for more than just revealing the identity of a player. Instead of contacting CCP about the issue, he has put all infos on a website for personal profit, revealed the identity of several CCP employees, didn't care about the consequences for them, and didn't care if he caused avoidable financial damage to CCP. Result: CCP permabanned.
And I think Kugutsumen said, he would stop, if he gets a Mothership from BoB and RKK fires DBPreacher. So he played some nasty extortion game against BoB that included CCPs reputation as a company and real life information about devs, if I assume that he knew all that info at that point already. I'm not really surprised that CCP wasn't amused of getting that passive role in that game. ------ Who wants to be Caldari, if he could be 1337 instead ? Minnie 4tw ! ^^ |

Originally by: BlackDog Rackh'am Let's be reasonable here. Nobody in their right minds believes that all of BoB are cheaters. Also, nobody in their right minds believes that bob are 100% innocent.
As usual, the truth is somewhere between the two extremes. What i don't like though is the fact that there has not been sufficient punishment handed out in some cases, while it is done so in others selectively.
If it's a bannable offense to reveal player's RL identities and since we have the precedent of Kugutsumen getting banned, maybe SirMolle should be banned too or Kugutsumen should be unbanned. The "have my cake and eat it" attitude seems to be what's p*ssing the community off the most. What's done is done, but the way it was handled was insufficient.
To sum up, i honestly believe that it's statistically impossible not to have at least a dozen honest players in BoB, even if half their directorship was implicated.
What i'd like to see is said directors come up and apologise...not for the dev scandal per se (it would be an admittion of shared guilt if they did), but for the utter garbage they've been proudly spewing in the face of the community only to be proven wrong and even worse, while there is a high possibility that they did infact know some of what was going on.
What we saw was indeed a lynch mob mentality and a witch hunt. To go all "pitty poor BoB grunts" over it is not appropriate though. In the vein of the witch hunt analogy, BoB's public image was the equivalent of Winona Ryder in the Salem trials film...playing the same joke and revelling on people's paranoia for so long that they missed the stake being built in the town square right before their eyes.
Furthermore, nothing has stopped their public figures from broadly generalising whenever they went against somebody, they have no ground to stand on to resist the same treatment applied to them.
I do believe the average BoB guy is just another player like everyone of us...problem is their vocal ones could never apply the same logic when dealing with their enemies.
Just to use the most recent example, weren't the ASCN members just another group of players out to have fun? Of course they were. Where they all crap at PvP? Of course not, statistically speaking it's as impossible as saying that 100% of BoB cheat. Then why did they demonise the whole lot of them for their leaders mistakes, with the main aim to crush their will to play? Because attacking the enemy's fun factor is what wins wars first and foremost.
It's all fine and dandy by me, but when people are forced to take a taste of their own medicine they should STFU, contemplate how it feels and admit they slipped up, instead of either going "poor me" and making a clown of themselves or going totally absent for a few days in the hope it boils down and they will not be forced to say the one thing they fear most than all the capital ships in the game combined: "I'm sorry guys, we f*ed up"
Where art thou SirMolle, Dianabolic, DBPreacher, Fire 59, Yazoul Samaiel? Poor show... 
Well said, nothing to add really

Hey. . .Einstein. . .CCP straight up SAID they didn't fire his ass. He's still showing up to work and drawing a paycheck. They said they "punished" him back 6 months ago and thus they wouldn't "punish" him again. Obviously if we had gotten fired they wouldn't have to say they wouldn't punish him again 'cause he'd already be gone!
The company's policies are MY business when they selectively start applying the rules to people. For some reason CCP thinks it makes good business sense to ban some people for the slightest wrong act according to their holy EULA while at other times people that take the EULA, stomp on it, rip it into shreds, and then **** on it don't even get a slap on the wrist! God you're freaking dense. I'm not surprised tho because you're a spineless alt who probably is guilty as sin right now and praying every night that nothing else comes to light about this situation.
Listen this time. Really listen. Molle broke the EULA. CCP admitted this. Molle should be banned according to the EULA. MANY PEOPLE HAVE BEEN BANNED FOR LESS yet this lying cheat gets to run his mouth off, let his alliance run around Tranquility with [DEV] tags, and do whatever he freaking pleases. I mean is Molle CCP's prime stockholder or something? Did he prevent an asteroid from hitting Iceland or something? It boggles the freaking mind, man. And you're wrong. There's a LOT more choices for us here in the community. We can keep the pressure on and MAKE CCP come completely clean and do the right thing or we can convince everyone to quit and then guys like you will be stuck shooting rocks in space because there won't be anyone to play with.
signed/ p.s. Am i the only one that finds it odd people believe a DEV would risk his job to just make "small"(according to BOD fans)bpos appear for BOB?(unless he knew nothing would happen to him) Are people that ignorant to believe just because a LIAR/CHEATING DEV admits to things he absolutely knows he can't hide that theres nothing else to what he has done in the name of BOB. Sirmolle= BAN. You got proof of others..turn them in too ]
SIGNED
That's what I dont' get. In all the gaming i've done, when someone is a cheater, they cheat whenever it's convienient. They don't just cheat once, they cheat all the time. Why would anyone think this was a one time occurance?

Over all its said about bpo and stuff... There is one thing i always tough about bob and im ptretty sure its true now. The devs prolly not show up in RKK saying " hey im a dev, let me be a director and i will give you BPO". He prolly ave to do other thing like giving Way to exploit the recent bugs "who will be corrected in next patch" since he is aware of this. When bob strike VC pos around d4ku, there was a bug on pos were the renforcement mode on pos were simply not fully fonctionnal ans so bob show up one day, and wipe all the POS in one day since the POS renforce mode countdown was iggnored.
The bug was correct couple days after in a express patch but the damage were done. Bob maybe find it by their self, but no doubt a devs could help calling the bug to big boss of bob and so they could strike bedore CCP fix it.
P.S. long time i have speak english, i hope you understand what i mean

Actually kugutsumen contacted CCP first and gave them all the info and said if they gave him some benefits while fixing things he'd keep quiet. Don't let facts get in the way of your self-righteousness tho.

Originally by: Liquid Vision Listen, man, the only people that agree with you on this issue are BOB cheaters, BOB members and friends that are going through a crap-ton of self-denial right now, and CCP who was actively working to make sure no one found out about this.
Of course CCP wanted to keep it quiet, why would they *want* a closed internal matter from months ago to have become public?
Remember, CCP have declared that punishment was served at the time. I really don't know why you're trying so hard to dispute the indisputable? Perhaps another link, just in case you missed it the first time.
Originally by: Liquid Vision To use another real life example. . .uh. . .Enron?
Oh, you mean the real life that you agreed earlier had nothing whatsoever to do with this discussion? Sure, let's go with that. Makes perfect sense.
Originally by: Liquid Vision You're a complete and utter tool and you know it. You just admitted to "playing devils advocate" which when interpreted from idiot speak to real English means "Hey, look at me! I'm a troll!"
So let's see, on one hand I'm something else, a real hoot, dense, and a complete and utter tool. But on the other, you're the one calling me a troll?
Given all the names you've flung my way, I must surely be due for one of my own. How's this one for you: hypocrite.
All I've done is state my opinion on a particular aspect of this discussion and all you've done is flame me because OMG I'M ONE OF THEM.
I'm not affiliated with BoB, and I have agreed with you on some things, but if you blindly insist that they must all burn at the proverbial stake when no more than a couple of them knew of Ishos's true identity, and that there is *no* proof that they ever knew he had done the dirty with those BPOs, how do you expect anyone to ever hold a rational discussion with you over anything?
Originally by: Liquid Vision Glad I helped you pass the time time at your job. Too bad I can't be like Molle and find out your real life info and call your boss to let him know how much you're screwing him by ****ing around at work.

Everything you just said gets discarded because you've admitted to just being a *hit disturber and nothing else.
Please leave the thread since you are so enlightened and whatnot to not be mad over this deal. Obviously it doesn't concern you then and you should find somewhere else to talk nonsense and save the rest of us from having to listen to your tripe.
And no. . .you can't be my stalker, I already have too many as it is. . .and yes, you are still a tool and a troll. I'll be sending you your gold star shortly.

That's not very nice, trying to bypass the profanity filter like that.

Oh, it concerns me all right. It concerns me when there are people out there crying for someone to be punished when he already has been long ago.
But hey, don't let me get in the way of your great holy crusade. You're free to not reply to me if I bother you that much. *shrug*

Originally by: Lowa You guys do realize that there are thousands upon thousands of EULA breakers in this game right? Its not right but it makes EVE go round. It is a simple as that. So dont go ape-poo about people in BoB trading accounts and what not, they are not worse than anybody else on that perticular subject, buying accounts has been going on since the dawn of EVE.
And I see many many microers around on my travels of EVE, do I care? No, not really, this is a game, its ok not to care! It is not my problem and I will absolutely not spend $20/month only doing petitions. Will you?
Cheers, Lowa
So then why do we have the EULA Lowa? Why at all? Why have people ACTUALLY BEEN BANNED if we're ALL cheating? Please, when you come up with a logical answer lemme know. Not everyone breaks the EULA. It's like saying that because 1000s of people don't wear their seatbelts everyday that they should get away with it because other people are doing it too? Seriously, you get votes for dumbest post of the year award. Sorry bud, but that was just too terrible.
"Don't put ME in jail for smoking ********* and growing it because I know 100 other people that do it too!"
w00t! I got slammed! Was like ages ago since that happened.  Anyway, you are on fire, I dont blame you, its your right, but you cant do a level headed discussion and you totally missed my point hence I will not comment on this any further.
Just one thing though ( ); dont bring in RL examples, they dont apply here, this is a game.

Originally by: Kcel Chim I would hope that the more levelheaded guys get a grip on the whole situation and ppl like Nez stop there forum attentionwhoring in addition to ccp owning up.
Its flattering that you would single me out from thousands of posters as an example of someone who is posting for attention.....
Seeing as I have been called out... I feel it is my right to put my case across as honestly as I can.
During my most active period in EVE I dealt with BoB at the highest levels. I learnt to respect their honesty and their straightforwardness. I was happy for my alliance to sign a NAP with them and become their allies for a period of time. In short I like BoB and I still do.
In BoB's most recent war against ASCN, where I was limited to a bystander in EVE affairs, due to limited gametime I have often defended them against what I would call unsubstantiated attacks on their integrity.
With these revelations about dev corruption within the BoB high command... remember they had a dev as their capital ship commander... and this whole t2 bpo debacle....I believe BoB has become a victim of its own success.
Their unparalleled ambition in the game is now open to criticism, against which there is no defense. When it has been proven that dev assistance has been provided, no matter how insignificant, all bets are off. For all I know there are more devs still in BoB and they are still getting help. We cannot believe CCP anymore and we cannot believe BoB when they say they are ignorant of the relationship between CCP and BoB. This only came to light when it was proven by a third party.. there has been precious little honesty from any of the tarnished entities here.
Trust is gone.
Now what do you do when trust is gone?
Normally you cease to have dealings with the the guilty party. Now we cant cease to have dealings with CCP, as we pay them money every month. You cant cease to deal with BoB as they can attack you at any time.
BoB should disband out of its own free will or CCP should disband them or disband itself or close the game down altogether tbh.
Some huge punishment has to befall CCP or BoB, collective punishment.. CCP runs the game so BoB should take the fall in order to there to be some regaining of the broken trust. Thats what I belive and you can call it sensationalism if you like... I'm not bothered.
OFC I can leave the game too.... well I practically have already, the only attachment left to the game I have are these forums. Call it voyeurism if you will.
So I guess all in all ... meh.
