Eve is a world of information provided only by the user. Eve is competitive people will say and do anything to win. This includes lying your way into a corporation. Threatening to calling friends to attack you corp to oblivion because you stole their super cap. For some going to the point saying that his Mother and Wife died to cancer and his daughter is now diagnosed with Lung cancer and is feeling the effects of chemo therapy, and that life is tough in order to gain false sympathy in order to win at a game.

You may not communicate, post or publicize any subscriberGÇÖs personal information within the EVE Online game world or website.

This would include a person's own personal information.

So assuming this: whether you say you are a victim of ****, and child abuse, or an alien abductee I will have to assume they are just GÇ£StoriesGÇ¥ to entertain me or an attempt to motivate me to act in a certain way.

Mittani portrays him self as GÇ£THE VILLAINGÇ¥ within the game of eve. As a Villain it is his responsibility to cause misery, and suffering where ever he can. In the name of GÇ£just for kicksGÇ¥... for example The ice interdiction, strongly supporting hulkaggedon and Scamming Super Caps. He also thrives on the attention he derives from this activity. The Mittani trys to portray the most bad ass villain he can, taking extra effort to publicize the crushing of the weakest Victim. When he receives an eve mail from a person trying to gain sympathy from the attacker he goes on a feeding frenzy.

Mittani being a former lawyer GÇô probably has been one of the few people that has actually read the EULA, and the TOS.
Mittani being evil for so long has heard an amazing amount of sob stories as people attempt to gain Mittani's sympathy in hope for him to play fair, and to return some of the stuff stolen or halt an attack.

So in that mind set: When he is told is a story, a story that is had been heard many times before, just some of the details has been changed and just like before to produce more care bear tears he shows no sympathy.
Did anyone in that room immediately object to the Mittani after his presentation... Not from the video cast I say... why?
-->Was it because we thought it was a part of the game?
-->Or was our psychological tendency to see harm on other and be happy it was not me?

I don't know Mittani's victim personally in Real Life and can't say who is or who is not having suicidal tendencies. But I bet several people have lied about it to gain sympathy from others and after the current up rising many more will do so.

In summary: In Eve Online: you play an avatar. DO NOT volunteer any personal information.
If people follow this rule real cases of people exploiting other people real life misery won't happen. We play in a game where Social combat is real and not a role of the dies. Stories, lies and political manoeuvring are encourage with in the game and not halted in like in MMO Care Bear Games.

Personally after seeing this current situation with the Mittani and I come across some one claiming hard time. I will refer them to the TOS, will have to claim they are simply telling me a story, filled with half truths or lies, and tell them that I am not down that path of play as I pod them.

Source of the information was collected off of the Virtual Game and presented with in that Game's Event.
This presentation happen in a presentation that was where people were Presenting their views as their views in game at the Alliance Pannel
The Source was Virtual... there for any physical presents of this information is still Virtual


Prevent this from happening again we need to stop it at its source - people presenting non game relient information. Other wise I have to say it is just all lies

this problem could have been avoided by not providing personal information.

No one should be sending any eve mails to anyone describing their real life to anyone.
Especially information to goons to try and gain sympathy from them or any aggressor.
