Im a grandfather, how is it my responsibility to care for another mans child?

Where are his parents while he's crying his eyes out about killing himself in an internet space ship game?


Literally how dare you insinuate that its anybodies fault but the people in his real life.



So yes, I mock him, like I mock you, the well intentioned world grief counselor who would dare demand that the rest of the world uphold his raggedy overbearing belief structure.



If he's troubled, he has a family, he has people around him, and its their job to deal with it, not mine, not yours, not anybody elses, and yes, suicide is a pussies way out, I'd mock anybody considering it relentlessly, get it over with and stop wasting my air.

Typical goon. Botch a troll alt post so that you look like nothing more than another nut poster on a board full of nut posters and then blame everyone else for not getting your "sarcasm." I am just so unsympathetic. 1/10.

There is a video of them handing beers to people as they get off the plane.

If you were offended, don't watch.

The guy who ran the TEST portion of the panel was ejected from the $100 charity dinner.

The King of the Braindead held court? Gee. Glad I missed it.

Actually it doesn't.

Drunk, swearing, not taking a game seriously is fine. I see no issues with that, not my cup of tea but to each their own.
The issue I take with this was that the line between internet spaceships and real life has been crossed. It's one thing to be a jerk in the Eve Universe, it is cold and harsh after all. It's a completelt different thing to call for someones suicide on web TV watched by 1000s of viewers with the call for mass harrassment.

CCP should have stepped up to the plate and nipped that one in the bud, but they didn't. Everyone needs to remember that this game is rated T currently, which means that several people on these boards and in game are under the age of 18. No problem with that, but CCP needs to keep an eye on laws like the Megan Meier Cyberbullying Prevention Act (H.R. 1966) less they find their U.S. players no longer have the ability to connect.

Making fun of someones fitting is one thing. Mocking them because they are going through a tough period in life and then playing the Social Darwinism card is entirely another.

Internet spaceships is not serious, nor should it be. This is.

What, mocking them for this is exactly what you should do.


Why are they playing video games when they're going through a rough spot? Why not just man up and go deal with their problems in the real world instead of trying to escape into a fictional one.

In fact, you acting like we should somehow pity those people actually makes you the bigger ******, its not my job to babysit, I don't come here to be a counselor.

Neither is it CCP's job, the "T" rating of the game hasn't been violated, as the actual fanfest isn't 'rated'.



Literally, you and your post and its expectations of other peoples morals makes you an idiot.

[The rest of us see it as what it is: cowardice and sociopathy.

Where did you get your psychology degree?

Grenada. Mail order.

To all the lazy and impoverished in this thread who would like to have alcohol but believe they cannot because they only have food stamps, fear not! Alcohol can be made in your own home using simple household ingredients, many of which can be purchased using government issued food stamps.

Just take an old milk jug, fill it with juice concentrate, yeast, sugar, and water! Wait two weeks and you will have a nice wine that you can share with your friends! Thanks, government handouts!

Another Eve is serious - you can not make fun of any one or joke about anything regardless of how much you've drunk thread?

The guy strikes me as a total douche bag, actually a lot of the group-think something awful culture makes for some cringe-worthy people, but should the way people act always be carefully controlled and vetted to be appropriate for all audiences and environments? No. I'd rather see people freely drink and have a good time and say what they please than watch some stodgy event in which the participants' main concern is how their actions will be perceived by viewers days later.

Which I guess is fine for a what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas attitude.

But it doesn't excuse the aftermath on the forums. Or the fact that Mittens can't man up and see the importance of the subject when he has in fact sobered up. Maybe SA trivialises a number of things as a culture, maybe as a result Mittens has peer pressure to "perform" as the demonic clown he is, but at the end of the day it can be clear to see which individuals have what kind of values and standards as a result.

Nice to know that this is the representation we EvE players voted for....
