I was quite surprised to see http://go-dl1.eve-files.com/media/0708/eve-boom-headshot.JPG on the front page of the eve-o website. I would have thought that even in cartoons that this kind of imagery would be considered over the top.
Or maybe thats just me and all the bf1942/hl2 people who play this game will tell me that I suck for not liking it  |

EVE is a mature game. If a person have issues with it, then hello kitty is the otherway.
edit : To any concerned kids...dont worry he had an up to date clone and is alive and well in Jita.

Do you mean that it is mature = old (out of beta yet?) or do you mean a game for mature people? The latter is pretty obvious from the spelling, reading comprehension and general behavior of people on the forums ...

eve is a dark place, and this is a teen rated website. So i guess the picture is suiting of that, afterall its not showing anythign too graphic (as in blood and gore, or his brains being splatted). And we do blow each other up ingame quite alot. I just dont think it would give the same impression if they were giving each other flowers or maybe showing each other there carebears.

There is no blood/guts/skull/brain flying out of the back of his head, so IMO yes, its perfectly acceptable. This is EVE, not 'Hello Kitty Island Adventure' and in EVE people die!

the MAIN picture at the top of the story has some blood (or most likly the remains of the contents of his head) if you look behind the glowing bars. Its a damn cool piture. I think even that isnt exactly bad though.

Last time I checked, graphic violence was not a problem anywhere in the US (including blood, body parts etc. etc.), as opposed to sex or nudity (think Janet Jackson's nipple).
You may be thinking of Germany, where it's the other way round.

The thing I found most funny was the fact that there is swearing in the chronicles, and they are linked from the eve website. If we swear on the forums it gets censored, if we link to a website that contains swearing, it gets *snipped*.

There is nothing tasteless about it, in fact it is adding a whole load of flavour to the eve world, a dark future/sci-fi world where people die and other people kill them.
Do you find the screaming noise when you biomass a character equally tasteless?

Maybe you should read the Chronicle "Methods of Torture: Gallente" if you think that harmless picture is over the top.
Compared to some of the crazy (but entertaining) things in the Chronicles I doubt that picture will do any more damage to our souls. 
I like EVE exactly because it's dirty and dark and thats very well portrayed in the Chronicles.

Not that i play BF or HL, so can't answer on their behalf, but i think that you're being a tad immature on this. As mentioned above, there's no splattering so where's the offense? Only thing i whould complaint on is the fact that the artist behind it didn't sign his/hers work, as i'd like something like that for a signature (hint-to-the-artist-hereby-given).

Who are you? Just because at least 50% of eve are carebears and most of those don't pvp unless they have to doesn't mean that EVE is meant to be some sort of utopia. If you take a look at the facts the grim reality will be just as bad if not worse if we ever get out into space.
And here we are playing a game that has all its non-pvp facets fueled by pvp. Then come the carebears with their stares and attack anything remotely violent.
I suppose you would have more stories with nothing in them but love and romance. There are some of those in the chronicles. If I don't fancy one I won't read it a second time. If you do not find appeal in the pictures then do not look at them and do not tell everyone else what needs to be censored, thank you.
You must live a sheltered life because people get shot every day all over the city and this here is just a story for a fictional universe.

His not in a pod...
I do not read EON, but this website's articles tell us thus.
I'm not entirely convinced that EON (published by a third party unrelated to CCP) is entirely canonical, seeing as a number of their stories seem to contradict the prime fiction. It could be that they're the "new canon", and the information on the website has to be retconned, or that technology has marched on considerably (and no-one has thought to tell us mere pod pilots) but until I see someone telling me as such, I don't believe it. As far as I'm concerned, this website is the primary source of fiction, and that it takes priority where it conflicts with other sources.
EDIT: And incidentally, one of the main reasons (I'm led to believe) that they bothered to include the stuff about cloning being extremely dangerous and unpopular for non pod pilots is to solve the problem of having a universe where everyone is immortal. Thanks to that reasoning, only the minuscule number of elite citizens (just 200k out of several hundred billion) have "immortality", while the rules of death still apply to everyone else.
Changing that is no small step for the fiction to take.

Not just me bored at work then. Who would have thought a quite simple statement about my personal feelings on a picture would have brought out the vehemence and downright stupidity vomited onto this thread by some of the whorums.
Let me say it again in a slightly different way -> I personally find fictional or real pictures of people getting shot in the head to be distasteful (at best). That does not make me a carebear/blind/communist/elephant (delete as applicable).
So you disagree? great, make a post without the personal attacks.

Well, I did read that story. I don't remember exactly what happened, but what I do know is that, at least now, all stories submitted to EON to go through CCP for checking at some point.
Anyway. Personally I see nothing wrong with that picture. The chronicles and art of EVE are there to show us just what kind of world it is. And CCP wish it to be dark, cruel and violent. This means that they have to write and draw in ways that bring this vision to life, or it's pointless.
You are not forced to read the stories, or look at the artwork for them. But they should not be censored. Anyone who is old enough to be playing this game should be aware that they have a choice when it comes to what they read and look at. You need to use that choice to not view the image, and you need to leave the choice open to others so that they can.

It shows us what kind of world it is?? I never knew I could dock up, hop out of my spaceship and run around shooting people in the heads. No wonder people were calling it counterstrike in space.

Not just me bored at work then. Who would have thought a quite simple statement about my personal feelings on a picture would have brought out the vehemence and downright stupidity vomited onto this thread by some of the whorums.
Let me say it again in a slightly different way -> I personally find fictional or real pictures of people getting shot in the head to be distasteful (at best). That does not make me a carebear/blind/communist/elephant (delete as applicable).
So you disagree? great, make a post without the personal attacks.
You are a damn hypocrite. You just made a broad personal attack on anyone that disagrees with your views. Just because you find the world full of sunshine does not mean that everyone else deserves to have wool over their eyes and to feign ignorance of any violence.
What is mature content is what you can skip and not read.
Saying we are all gun crazed and so obsessed with headshots that we play gun games all day is definitely not any sort of insult. Calling you a carebear is an insult, though. I respect your view completely. Since this is too graphic lets censor it from everyone.

It has nothing to do with counterstrike online :S TBH I smell a troll
The eve has backstory to try and make it a bit more than just "internet spaceships lulz". This backstory is dark, gritty and violent. The eve universe has death, slaves, drugs, blood cults, exotic dancers, booze, violence and death.
Not to flame but honestly: If you find this distastefull why did you pick a game that is billed as a dark future world?

That's not what I mean when I say "what kind of world it is". The point of the chronicles isn't meant to describe what you can do it game, it is supposed to flesh out the world the game is set in.
For instance. World of Warcraft is a game set in the fictional place that is Warcraft. There are many stories, and lots of information relating to it, that never appears, or is not playable, in the game. This stuff exists to bring depth to the game. To supply something that players (well, roleplayers) can use to understand how they should act within the game itself. It exists to show why some things are as they are in the game.
It's exactly the same for EVE. But instead of elves and swords, we talk about spaceships and lasers.

Well, perhaps this is the case. But you can avert your gaze, or click on one of the other little buttons underneath the picture to go to something else. I suppose that doesn't help too much, but I still don't believe it is right for CCP to have to censor this stuff because a small group of people find it offensive. Maybe a slightly edited picture for the front page then.
Edit: Although saying that. Perhaps it is a good idea to leave it as that on the front page. Seeing it serves as a warning to those who find such things distasteful what kind of game they should expect to be playing if they sign up for EVE.

Er, I dont know if you are trying to be sarcastic or you completely messed up the order of those words. Where I am from describing anyone with the word "crazed" in it is fighting talk. And you can call me a carebear all you like, this is an alt and any comment you make about my combat prowess is talking out of your bottom.
Playing EVE does not involve me pulling triggers to shoot people in the head, in fact it does not involve peoples avatars at all (so far), thats mainly why I play it.

I picked eve cause it was billed as a dark future world, fight for survival stuff, as well as the free for all pvp aspect.
Also podding, 1400mm arty cannon, player gets fragged in spectacular squishy insta death.

The proof of average subscriber age comes from a CCP dev blog. I can't be bothered to go find it though.
Also remember that the backstory is mostly limited to the website, rather than the game. You don't have to come to the website very much in order to play the game.
Also, at the end of the day, whether you find something offensive or not, it's CCP's website, and they can put up what they like on it really.

OF COURSE we all know, the real world is a cruel place. people get raped, killed, beaten up, eaten and god knows what else, like EVERY ****IN DAY.
eve is also supposed to be a cold and harsh place, no news here.
were all against censorship, i think we can agree on that.
but please, what the **** is wrong with you guys? since when was it cool to be desensitized against violence? since that seems to be the general opinion on the topic... sheesh...

Of course you don't have to put up with it. But in this case, not putting up with it means making the choice not to use the website, or to block the offending images via some kind of browser tool like adblock.
Remember, just like you don't have to put up with images you find distasteful, I don't have to put up with censorship of everything. The difference is that you can choose not to even look at the images If things are censored, I don't have a choice to be able to view an un-censored version. Or maybe I do. But that's not likely as CCP aren't likely to go to the effort of making two versions of everything, so would just stick to one or the other. In this case it seems like they have chosen to keep their violent theme.

So far the chronicles have featured all manners of torture, mutilation, suffering, violent deaths, drug use and, on one memorable occasion, projectile vomiting.
They have also featured reflections and commentary on life, love, the meaning of relationships, fatherhood, handicapped right to life, ethics, change and transcendence.
In short, they reflect the various facets of life, good and bad, and as a result their taste, quality and value of interest are going to vary from reader to reader. If you don't like the corresponding picture for this particular story, that's a shame. It will be replaced in two weeks' time, when the next story is published.
And whoever made that Hello Kitty version owes me a new keyboard.

My point is that if you don't like it, then you are at liberty not to look at it. my post was there to underline the point that the EVE playerbase is, on average, sufficiently mature to make their own decisions.
This is not a game for younglings. EVE is a drama of political machinations and war on a galactic scale - hardly juvenile themes. We're playing in a sandbox where there's nothing to stop you from scamming the other kids out of their sweeties - provided you don't mind the other kids ganging up on you for it.
If you're offended by that image, then that's all very well and good - just don't look at it. That's your prerogative as a thinking adult. It's my prerogative as a thinking adult, on the other hand, to see that picture and think "cool! New chronicle!". What being a thinking adult doesn't give you is the right to try and force your thinking adult opinion down my thinking adult throat.

I was making a joke. This thread is far too serious for it's own good
And you could quit, if you find the material CCP confront you with unacceptable. No ones forcing you to visit this site or anything. I'm not suggesting you do, just pointing out you don't "have to put up" with anything.

The age old argument winner has been used. Cut someones quote into pieces and remove the parts that can't be answered in a way to make ones own stance justified.
Anything I would have said has echoed through this thread many times and the radioactive alt ignores most of it. Just for clarification, you can censor all the content you don't want to see on your computer. I can not get something uncensored if the only version of it is something you would condone.
The whole problem with this thread is that radioactive alt wants to censor what others see. I do not have any qualms with what he/she likes or does not like. Trying to tell CCP that something is too brutal and implying no one else should see this violent version is rather tasteless don't you think?

I wonder what percentage of threads on this forum contain people avoiding a perfectly good fix for there problem so they can keep whinging.
I wonder what percentage of people reply to posts that mention "percentage of people" and put in a comment that contains "percentage of people" but disparage the first poster.
I am not the only one to find the picture distasteful, merely the only one bored enough to endure the flames (and flame back).
And yes I blocked the pic in firefox, (before I even made the OP) but for some reason I cannot post with firefox because I got thrown back to the login screen any time I click on the quote or reply to topic links ..... so I still see it in IE

So I dont see your point.
Graphic sound effects are ok beause you can turn off sound?
But graphic images are not ok even though you can turn them off if you choose too?

The age old argument winner has been used. Cut someones quote into pieces and remove the parts that can't be answered in a way to make ones own stance justified.
Anything I would have said has echoed through this thread many times and the radioactive alt ignores most of it. Just for clarification, you can censor all the content you don't want to see on your computer. I can not get something uncensored if the only version of it is something you would condone.
The whole problem with this thread is that radioactive alt wants to censor what others see. I do not have any qualms with what he/she likes or does not like. Trying to tell CCP that something is too brutal and implying no one else should see this violent version is rather tasteless don't you think?
Tell me where I said remove it. I said I considered it distasteful and over the top. The main reason for this topic was discussion ... I should have known better.
And I believe I quoted most of your dribble, but could not bring myself to quote verbal dung like "What is mature content is what you can skip and not read." which started as a question and ended as a statement that is flawed (hint, you have to read the content to see if it is "mature") ....
oh and "Just because you find the world full of sunshine does not mean that everyone else deserves to have wool over their eyes and to feign ignorance of any violence.", I live in south east London, I see plenty of violence, thats why I play MMO's.

I will often read the forums and stories while at home, it is where I work. My 5 yr. old son saw this picture and asked what was happening, I made up some story to sugar coat it.
It sucks for me because now I have to work and can't read the stories. The forums, though amusing at times, are very predictable. Hello Kitty, quit then, you suck and all that.
Whorums are more discourteous because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split open, as a general thing. My 5 year old can't read, see predictable like a bad movie. |

the fictional universe of eve-online is a dark and violent place, as such, I think the image fits the mood quite well, whilst still maintaining a sub-teen rating. (i.e. it's suggestive, but there's no blood etc)
it's fair enough you dont like it, but I dont think it's at all out of place given the context.

I can't take you seriously anymore. You keep demanding we have a serious discussion about an issue you can easily censor. Then you come back and call the replies of those who disagree with you garbage in one word or another.
Miss Terry posted a completely sarcastic post as obviously the image can be scrolled past if one has a 5 year old in the house. I am going to agree with Corwain and let you continue with the sharing of your opinion.

Frankly I think anyone stating that it's tasteless and asking in a round a bout way if it could be avoided in the future is over reacting. I for one simply can't comprehend how a relatively non-graphically violent piece of art like that could be considered tasteless, so I'm somewhat at a loss as far as trying to understand where the OP is coming from... Sure you may not particularly like it but that doesn't make it tasteless. I frankly prefer the art style used elsewhere over the one of this particular picture, I consider it too cartoony personally, not gritty or detailed enough, whereas I quite like the art of the methods of torture pics.
If anything mentioned in this thread was tasteless it was the gratuitous smear against the FPS crowd in the beginning. Though I'd still chalk that up so simply poor judgement on the OPs part.
But their request does boil down to censorship, which I lean against in all cases. But I end up being quite libertarian on this, I don't particularly think racist,sexist,crude humor, etc comments should be censored either, I trust the community to deal with them appropriately via replies or in game player action, so I'm probably somewhat of a minority on this issue I suppose. Eitherway the main point of this post is to add another voice asking that we keep the business as usual.
The EVE universe is great just because it's so ruthless and cut throat. The methods of torture and tales of vigilantes add a flavor to the game backstory that I quite enjoy.
And I was also one of those somewhat puzzled by the "are you an american by any chance?" comment, on the one hand I'm American so I take mild offense to any implication American's have anything wrong with em, heh. On the other hand, other than politicians mumbling about violence in video games every now and then as a pet issue, I have no clue what that person could be referring to, since if anything we're somewhat proud of our willingness to employ violence when other remedies won't work, instead of ***** footing around an issue.
But yeah, Abraxas, keep that series coming I look forward to the next installment, preferably with another suitably violent piece of art. *wink wink, nudge nudge*

Trolling. I suppose I am. Alright, here's some worthwhile content:
Of all the offensive things in eve, you choose to attack the picture of someone being shot in the head. Not the prostitutes, frozen corpses, drugs, or slavery...but the bloodless cartoon image of someone being shot in the head.
FFS, get a grip and check your priorities.

I have to say that I dont go to the front page very much and so dont see many of the pics for the chronicles. I did see some of them (and all of the ones that turned up on the side of the forums) and they never struck me as particularly violent or gory. Its just this particular one that I perceive as tasteless, not all of them.
I always like a gratuituous smear against fps players, generally they used to come back fighting but sadly here to turn to trolling 
I also do not like to limit other peoples choices, perhaps a middle ground could be hit though if CCP privoded a preferences page where I did not have to load any pictures/sigs/avatars, it would make me happy and I also would not have look at rubbish sigs (obviously they are not all rubbish, but some look like bird droppings)
As for the American thing, I think it is fair to say King Liu is a spanner!!

I agree, cartoon images of these are way over the top. Instead they should just take real life photos of the brutal raping, killing and pillaging that goes in in EVE. Why waste the effort of making a cartoon image? Completely over the top.

I find what i linked distasteful. I don't ask for censorship though. I find someone getting shot in the head gruesome.
If my 5 year old saw it and asked me I would tell him exactly what happened and then I would explain why daddy's gun is not a toy and why I don't allow play guns or play shooting at people. Then I would show him some pew pew in EVE and the fun of killing a pod. We would go hunting that weekend and he would shoot a deer. Alas he is not yet 2 years old.

EVE is a mature game. If a person have issues with it, then hello kitty is the otherway.
Do you mean that it is mature = old (out of beta yet?) or do you mean a game for mature people? The latter is pretty obvious from the spelling, reading comprehension and general behavior of people on the forums ...
It means the people who play it are connecting from the nursing home.

Actually, the pic is pretty tame.
Obviously, the bullet hasn't come out the front yet, and the weapon isn't powerful enough to raise the internal pressure of the skull to 400 kpa in less than a millisecond (which most modern rifle rounds will do).
It's not like it's a splatter pic.
