The real question here is: "How shall I profit?" |

Mittens stepped out of line whilst drunkenly presenting at the CSM presentation at fanfest, calling out the name of a player and encouraging players to drive him to suicide (not in game suicide, RL).
There was a strong reaction in the media, condemning him.
Mittens tweeted that he would be
- Apologising - see threadnaught in general discussion
- Giving all his ISK to the player - also done
- Resigning from the CSM
Can't say I ever liked him
Alliance panel, not CMS presentation.
What he did, he did as a representative of his alliance, not as a CSM member.
I dont care much for the subject, but its the poor representation of the facts in every **** post that annoys me.

The things I sometimes say in jest while drunk would either get me arrested, or waking up next to another man in the morning.
So I can relate.
Anyway, where my defence of Mittani comes from isn't because I have any love for him or goons
(although I respect him as a strategist), but because I have issue with the idea of being banned or publicly crucified in the event that some douch sends me a troll mail because I blew up his 22 mining bots, asking for sympathy cause his wife left him (cause he plays eve too much) and his feeling suicidal.... and my reply to him is to go jump off a bridge (figuratively or litrally) & joke about his pathetic ploy with my peers suggesting he be a target of further ganks for his indiscretion. |

After reading your argument Shar Tegral, when stressing the point that he placed himself in a possition that casts a huge reflection of his actions on CCP, then understandibly anything he did that brings bad press to CCP should earn him a rebuke
But since watching a fellow college beat the crap out of & throw out a hobo with mental issues that walked into our office just this morning helping himself to the kitchen. I firmly believe there are people with more problems than some guy with too many mining alts, and there are far worse measures of indifference or malice to fellow humans that what Mittani did.
Mittani's 'victim' however I'd trully never feel remorse or pitty for in a game or in RL either, since when living on a continent where 10,000 children under the age of 7 die of hunger each day, while sitting on the couch drinking my morning coffee, watching sky news reports of first world countries dropping bombs on villidges in some middle eastern country that no one really cares about, switching the channel to the local news about another report of some 3yr old girl being raped. Or a 14yr old who died during an 'exercism' performed by her own family by extracting her intestines through her vigina. Or reading statistics that more than 5mil people in my very own country dont have homes to sleep in.
I cant help myself but think that some person who can afford to spend $330 a month on 22 accounts for a computer game, while sitting in his comfy PC chair infront of a gaming rig(s) in a coasy house/apartment (with electricty & clean safe drinking water!); Complaining he's suicidal because his life is so bad & people in a pc game are mean to him: If in fact, was suicidal, would probly be doing the world a favour by removing himself, and making room for someone less fortunate. So I too may have thought briefly of encourging such action while my inhibitions where low, had I not also spent half my life on anti-depressants.
Cause lets face it. Its a depressing world out there. Deal with it or check out. Either way... ingame or in RL... "Can I haz your stuff". |

This is the reason for the "magic circle" mate. Regardless of what your politics or position is on real life matter, we all agree to leave that crap at the door.

As to The Wizz himself, troll or not, he did not deserve to be singled out like he was.
In a game where breaking someone elses will to fight or even carry on is actually a valid goal and achivement, I'd beg to differ.

I do care about the victim in this case but it wasn't "The Wizz". It was CCP and it was us. For that I've little sympathy for Mittani.
Now isn't that the truth.  |

Its not like he gave anyone his telephone number.
He gave them one of his 22 character's names. At a game alliance panel discussing events... & a character ...in a game |
