I didn't realize that RIGHT and WRONG were dictated by Eve Online player Twulf.

What would you idiot goons do if the USA ban's EVE in the USA? How much crying would there be?

Idiot goon posts idiotic meme

Confirming that the US congress has jurisdiction over a video game made by a company in Iceland.

Why can't the US government just walk into CCP and arrest this guy and disbarred him from lawyering? its in the constitution!!

Mittani always claims to be darn intelligent.
Yet realising when you place yourself on a pedestal your words will be weight with more scrutiny never arose to him.

Just like Chribba, Darkness and several other well known personalities in EVE his word holds weight.
Well atleast to a certain crowd.
Next to that he is chair of CSM 6 and now CSM 7 so that's another spotlight.

You may not abuse, harass or threaten another player or authorized representative of CCP, including customer service personnel and volunteers. This includes, but is not limited to: petitioning with false information in an attempt to gain from it or have someone else suffer from it; sending excessive e-mails, EVE-mails or petitions; obstructing CCP Employees from doing their jobs; refusal to follow the instructions of a CCP Employee; or implying favoritism by a CCP Employee.

Don't know howmany braincells you have, but I can clearly see someone else suffering from is by being called out by name and called out to be harassed.

You may not use GÇ£role-playingGÇ¥ as an excuse to violate these rules. While EVE Online is a persistent world, fantasy role-playing game, the claim of role-playing is not an acceptable defense for anti-social behavior. Role-playing is encouraged, but not at the expense of other player. You may not create or participate in a corporation or group that habitually violates this policy.

This doesn't only hold true for roleplayers but also for those who are drunk and violate those rules.
Being drunk isn't an excuse.

You may not do anything that interferes with the ability of other EVE Online subscribers to enjoy the game or web site in accordance with its rules. This includes, but is not limited to, making inappropriate use of any public channels within the game and/or intentionally creating excessive latency (lag) by dumping cargo containers, corpses or other items in the game world.

Ingame mail is publicly available, by calling out to abuse this to harass someone can be classified under this rule.

You will not encourage others to break these rules or any rules set forth in relation to EVE OnlineGÇÖs game service or web site.

By calling others out to harass this player he actually invokes others to break the none harassement rule. So he encourages others to break a rule.

These are just a few things I want to bring forward. It doesn't matter if that player was or wasn't suicidal. The mere idea he might be should have stopped Mittens from doing what he did.

I think that most of you that are pro Mittani are missing the major point here.

This COULD be a huge issue for CCP. There are US congress people looking for any reason to shut down or regulate the video game industry. Things like this just add fuel to their fire.

You do understand that the USA could simply ban CCP from selling EVE in America correct? You do understand that is something that is not out of the realm of possiblilities if one of these anti-video game people pick this up and run with it. Cyber - Bulling is a huge issue here in the states. I disagree as I think bullying is just human nature but that is not the point.

I think you idiots need to understand how much of an issue this could really be. This is much more then some simple comment made by an idiot. This could be the issue that starts the ball rolling for the anit video game people.

I do not think it will get that big but that is the issue here. Not so much how stupid the comment was, or how wrong it is to try and push someone over the edge and kill themselves but the fact that this is the kind of ammo these anti video game people are waiting for.

What would you idiot goons do if the USA ban's EVE in the USA? How much crying would there be?

This is the worst case but it could happen and their are people waiting for just these kind of things to happen, so they can grab and run around saying "I told you so, I told you video games are evil."

another one that is not helping the chairman and his CEO with his remarks

Says the guy who unironically posts katana videos on youtube...

No but they can regulate what paid for services its' "citizens" can access, as they did with online gambling sites.

Good to see you guys are still posting.

Says the guy who unironically posts katana videos on youtube...

I like how you think that posting the same thing over and over again will somehow make it become true. I remember you doing the same thing during the Recruitment channel MOTD drama.

Why can't the US government just walk into CCP and arrest this guy and disbarred him from lawyering? its in the constitution!!

God how can you be this dumb?

So the Goon strategy is to overwhelm legitimate posting with trolling? I guess it's true to their nature, but I'm not sure if this thread would still be on the first page if they had just shut up....

Wow. Are you even from the US? Say what you will about our foreign policy, but the US banning EvE would be a blatant violation of the 1st amendment of our constitution. I mean, some idiot republican running for pres recently mentioned banning hard core **** and was pretty much an instant laughing stock. The ONLY thing they could ever do is restrict it for under 18 y/o people so they would need parental consent. It would have no effect on the player base at all. AT ALL. In fact, the publicity of even attempting that would probably result in a healthy bump to the subscriber base. If you are in the US I would bet you are a ****** junkie. I've read some dumb stuff today but this is definitely the dumbest thing I've read.

Suffice to say that that particualr "drama" hasn't reached it conclusion yet.

But it seems to me you have reached your line of witty and snappy comebacks. They all boil down to the same now.

EVE is a game about killing people and taking their stuff C/D
