Originally by: Malachon Draco Not sure why you are still here considering your rules violation, but anyway.
Quick history lesson for you, CCP (Cake, Cookies and Pie) was the name of our alliance before the ingame alliance system came in to place.
In any case, the impersonation rules forbid impersonating individuals, which I was not attempting to do.
I appreciate your concern for my wellbeing. -

You know, I agree with the fact that the GM was extremely rude in his approach to the gag.
It doesnÆt seem that he nesecaraly was tied to the person he said in the gag, however a member of the opposing force.
Think about it, giving away that they are the person gets there character ground down, corporation ruined, and several other drastic problems. An intelligent person wouldnÆt have that done to their own character, but if you make it look the slightest like your opponent was a member of the ôhigher powerö in the game it will wreck hell on them and their group.
And I do thank Arkanon for the internal affairs email, as I have issues with a few GMÆs that I need addressed.

I'm sorry to say this but this Internal Affairs thing can only be a joke:
The GM did a bad thing. Internal Affairs send a mail to the GM saying you can't do that anymore ok? The GM doesn't even bother to answer. End of issue.
Wow, really impressive the way Internal Affairs handled that  |

Originally by: CCP Arkanon The GM has been reprimanded and this will hopefully not repeat itself.
Why he did this, I don't know, since I have not yet had an answer from him.
Please set me straight but I can't seem to understand this?
it means they just gave him a slap on the wirsts and told him not to do it again but again i would have had him fired for it

Don't be confused by the name "Internal Affairs." EVE is not the real world and GM abuse is not akin to police misconduct. It's a customer service issue. ----------------------------------------------------

Sure it's a customer service issue, imo that's what makes it even more frustrating. If I was the customer, I wouldn't be happy with the implications the issue had on the GM at fault. If you would talk to a costumer that way in any normal profession, you would have been fired pronto. No way to go about it imo. |

Hehe, I live in a more or less civilized country :) From what I've read, the GM seemed to be joking (making fun) of the player. That as nothing to do with having a bad day... that is unacceptable behavior for any kind of business in my book. Not to mention the harm done to CCP's reputation, even if for a small period of time. |

I feel all dirty, No doubt CCP have been through my accounts, logs and conducted a "rubber gloved" search of Battlestar Miz!
OMG, did you find my adult holoreal collection, or my "used" panty collection? Ignore that Minmitar slave whench in the hold, she's the ummmm, chef. BTW that donkey is for recreational use and is not in any way abused. No it isnt.

Frankly you could never in a million years pay me enough to deal with the CS issues in Eve. In a game where every dirty trick is enthusiastically used including hacks against forums, TS, Ventrilo, Game accounts, outright lies and propaganda posts, spy alts, corp theft and sabotage, the customer isn't always right sometimes he is in fact attempting subterfuge. The idea that the customers word is worth anything in this game is so ludicris as to be obscene.
Only the facts matter: That is what they can prove via logs and yes the CS Rep should have every right to not only defend himself to to appeal any disciplinary action to the HR dept. It's a company running a business not Faschistic State running some atavistic cesspool.

in fairness, his only offence was a vaguely inapporpriate yet in no-way offensive message whilst performing a perfectly justified action.
if you genuinely want him sacked for that, it makes you a bit of a nob. as it stands i think you probably just posted the usual internet bollox without actually thinking about what you were saying.

CCP has GMs in different parts of the world. The guy in question is probably one of the ones who happens to be either off duty or asleep at the moment. He probably got a firmly worded email with a request to follow up with an explanation.
My guess: A hamfisted attempt at a joke that went phenomenally wrong. We've all put our foot in it from time to time. At least, I know I have. ;)

There are many reasons the GM hasn't replied yet, one could be that we wanted to get this out as soon as possible and Arkanon pretty much posted directly after investigating and sending an email.
The way the GM handled this situation was wrong, but people does have bad days, people do mistakes and so on, but even if we ignore that firing him for this would never hold up in court, that is just not how you treat people. You give them a chance to change their behavior. You only fire someone after repeated offences after you've given the person every chance to change, at least in cases like this.

i agree i dont want anyone to lose there job over it but it is our corp member's that have suffered from it in more way's than 1 and i hate to say it but maybe SNOWY aswell from this if it is not true. but we have noticed many thing's to back up this and to be fair i hope it is not true and i hope that this is resolved pritty soon and for the GM him self to appolergise and let the EVE community no what has been done that way poeple know what's been done rather than everyone thinking a little slap on the slap on the wrist has happened.

Why? Any specific punishment s/he is given isn't any of your business. This isn't Judge Judy.
CCP have been as transparent as they can about this, which is a good thing after blueprintgate, but all you're after is for the GM in question to be publically embarassed which would be grossly unprofessional of CCP and isn't particularly likely to happen. what exactly do you even want them to apologise for anyway?
"i'm sorry you had to pretend to be offended about an innocuous and fairly un-funny joke"?
you're kicking up a fuss over nothing.
from their prolific contribution to the thread damning the GM in question, presumably a member of your corp was the one gagged for swearing in unfiltered public channels? why not have the class and good grace to let it go.

i am not being funny ry ry but number one it was our corp that got gagged number 2 it was snowy that petitioned it and number 3 it is both our corp and snowy that it has affected and in that we should have a appolergy from the GM in question as it was that GM that did it not another GM. and secound after what happened other time's there has been cover up's which make's people think worse of CCP and to be fair in all honesty letting us no what has happened ether a slap on the wrist or a telling off or it was found out to be true or what not that we as in us the 2 affected corp's should be notifed of the out come. as to you ry ry i am not getting in to a flame debate with you as you are on here posting for what reason to flame or what ? if it to flame please leave this alone as to be fair nobody need's it i just want the truth nothing else. and that is what we deserve.not another cover up.

Edited by: Arii Smith on 22/05/2007 00:25:52 I just finished this thread, and all I can think of right now is scandal after scandal that seems to define CCP of late.
I mean, there can only be so many misunderstandings before I start to think at best incompetence, or at worst massive wide-scale corruption. This game is pretty elaborate, so I am leaning towards the latter.

Of course noone would want him fired for one bad response. The point here, however seems not to be the single bad wording, but that is seems to hint at a friendly relationship between a GM and one or more players (potentilly a whole corp of them).
This seems to be dismissed quickly by the statement that said GM is not Miz. Well, maybe he isnt, but doesnt the wording of the message raise some suspicion about the relationship between that GM and Miz ? I think the players would like to hear about an in-depth investigation to follow.

Finally someone who has the currage to point to the real message behind the lines we are posting here. So, the questions are quite simple: is CCP aware of their staff misconduct (and I am not talking about this particular one ... but about all those who do). Tell me one player in this game who does NOT believe that CCP knows it. The question is: why don't they do anything about it?

Maybe you should try reporting "all those who do (commit misconduct)" than hinting at this un-seen corruption; it seems a little more productive than these rumors and hear-say, don't you think? 
In regards to this particular case, I've got to ask those of you who are being the most reactive to this case, haven't you ever had a day where you said something(s) that, a fairly short time later, you wish you could take back? People do get frustrated, and the GMs are, after all, only human.
Lets cut the guy some slack until he answers for himself, ok?

Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. CCP has absolute control over this game, and I do not think there is even a slight chance that they are benevolent in their control. Do you honestly think the dev characters rat for ISK, or spend any length of time mining?
Honestly, I just try not to think about this kind of thing. There is a reason that (this is an example for Americans, not sure if such a thing exists in Europe) lottery employees are not allowed to participate in the lottery. Every time I think about how CCP is behaving I just want to quit, so I avoid 0.0 politics and alliance warfare, the whole thing is dirty right to the core.
