It's like when a firefighter puts a bunch of boxes in front of the emergency exit, or smokes in bed and sets their house on fire. It's one of those things they should just know better because it's their job.

Sort of like a lawyer/paralegal whatever knowing that cyberbullying is a crime - because it's their job to know.

Jesus we have some idiots on these forums.

And how is this relevant at all to my post or to me?

Cyberbullying requires the participants be underaged children, by definition. By continuing to spout off the Cyberbullying crap you're just making yourselves out to be complete and utter dumbfucks. Of course, you're an NPC sockpuppet alt, so you're a dumbfuck coward by definition, so... welp.

It's ******* EVE, if you're shocked at someone being mean and mocking fake suicide threats, you are playing the wrong ******* game. Go find a copy of X3: Terran Conflict, you'll enjoy it better.


But hey, lets assume for a moment that a law designed to protect a bunch of helpless little kids applies to 30 year old men. Lets take this albsolutely pants on head ******** worldview, just for a second -- not too long now, acting this stupid hurts. Even if it did apply, cyberbullying still requires it take place on the Internet, and as everyone is quick to point out, "this wasn't in EVE it was on the panel zomg horror." That's the "CYBER" part, geddit?

Except since it wasn't in EVE it doesn't break any CCP rules but that doesn't matter cause "it's totally an EVE function cause a CCP employee was within a 500 mile radius zomg horror."

You stupid dipshits will contort yourself in any which way to try and find some way to argue that Mittani is a VERY BAD MAN.

It's EVE. It's full of very bad men! It's called a Sandbox for a reason. That's what makes it unique and special and fun as hell.

Grow some balls or get the **** out.

Who the **** are you kidding? Have you read the comments on other forums? Everyone is laughing at Eve.

They see that Eve is only rated for TEEN, inappropriate for use by children under the age of thirteen. There would be such an outcry it would be unbelievable.

You may think that, many others might think that, but every site which is reporting on the story are reporting it as Cyber Bullying and that is what matters.

Real adults know when to admit they are wrong. Are we surprised by the goons not getting it?

Today class... we learn that morality is but a mere construct and is not shared by everyone. We will also learn that it is entirely possible to be completely amoral whilst breaking no actual law.

Well said. Sad that CCP condones such actions by allowing him to speak for all players of the community. Elected by 10k retards doesn't give you carte blanche behave sub human. There are real people who spend a lot of time playing this game and ones actions can have real consequences. Steal some one's pixels ... fair enough... encouraging someone to end their life is yet another... telling the masses to encourage someone to kill them is disgusting. As human beings we need to say that that is unacceptable.

SOoooo funny when you see goons asking someone to HTFU. Its not like they have been crying for years for ccp to shape the game for them, bcause of their lack of effort/focus. "but but ze sandbox,,,11!!1"

Then they are reporting it wrong.

So calling on people to blow up someones internet spaceships, in a game about blowing up internet spaceships is now "cyber bullying"? If that's the case then most acts of war in game are "cyber bullying", and letting these media outlets that are reporting that define what we can do in game really would for the first time be the "death of EVE".

It's sad to see all the people who can't stand The Mittani because they think that "goons want to destroy the game" scream, cry, and push this to the press in order to get him removed, thus giving EVE and it's player base a bad name are the one doing the most damage to the game of EVE they claim they are trying to protect.

Who really cares.... let the masses be scared away. EVE is a harsh place.

Times are changing and being held accountable for things typed in game on twitter/facebook or in the public domain is definately where we are living now.

Today in the UK a student got sentenced to 58 days in jail for tweeting racial slurs about the footballer who collapsed in the cup game.

Mittani started by saying 'If you want to see the guy kill himself' if he hadn't of used that sentence then yes it would have just been in game griefing, instead of something else.

In the UK it was public complaints about the students comments that got him arrested not a complaint from the footballer, not sure what the laws view is like in the USA but its probably lucky he isnt a UK resident.

Erm.. CCP care, the people who have millions of dollars invested in CCP Care, CCP's official sponsors care.

It is not me it was your hero Mittens who said NPC alts are not relevent

But its not really harassment. No one will stop the guy on the street and call him out. No one will post in his real life facebook, twitter, whatever. No one will know about it, just the online persona. And really, who gives a **** about it in-game? I could care less about a miner and as far as I am concerned he can keep his mining and I wont even remember his name in 1 week.

To be truthfull, the people making the most damage are you guys stirring all this mess and publicity.
