Because pretty much everything I advocated on the CSM is already in the game or about to arrive, because under my chairmanship Eve online had excellent press coverage in the gaming press and mainstream media from New York to London and Paris, because I managed to keep my dignity and temper and didn't get righteously drunk on stage at fanfest and embarrass myself and every decent player of this game by coughing out cod-sadistic nonsense and calling on my fellow players to be trolled into suicide.

Plus I had the good grace to give the next guy a go when my term was up rather than trying to cling on to power like some kind of monomaniac limpet-brained bloodsucker with an desperate need to be loved and feared in equal measure.

That about covers it

In any rational assessment the Mittani (Alexander Gianturco) is finished as CSM chair. I imagine at this point he's literally holding his head in his hands and talking to his wife about whether he can even afford to continue being associated with the game of eve online after his performance at fanfest. The quite literal professional "suicide" he committed there IS that bad.

As for Issler she looks like being scapegoated at the moment. Understand, I didn't vote for her, I didn't much like her policies. But she is trying to push an agenda of personal responsibility from the current CSM team where we get to see what each of them actually *think* about this crisis rather than disappearing behind a magic curtain and letting the "wizard" tell us how its going to be.

Sure she could probably be handling it better, could have waited to say something, could have done skype from a laptop or something, could be in coms somehow whatever. But I do get the impression she is at least in tune with the understanding a lot of us have about how far off message into the hinterlands of lunacy the current CSM chair has gone.

Other CSM's seem to closing ranks and trying to laugh it off and tell us how it doesn't matter because the mining barge guy didn't actually die - but that is so not the point.

yes lets all ask the creepy looking aspie who ran a space brothel about normal human behavior this is sure to generate useful information

you're falling for a giant troll, it's just from god in the form of jade constatine being an actual human being

I am in the military and if anyone ever did anything like that specially in the publics eye they would be demoted and have a field grade article 15 slammed on them. Pretty sure if you work for any company and do that you will also probably get canned. Would not be suprised if the CCP employee that was at the event doesn't get fired or at the least a suspension.

What he did was in the public and acting as a Person not a player behind a screen. He did not do it in an inpersonal fashion. He was live in person telling people to tell another living human being to commit suicide.

Its one thing in game to say things but telling another person in game or in person to commit suicide that says they are suicidal is the wrong answer. When it comes to a beating heart and blood in the viens that is real life mate.

LOOK AT ME GUEIS IM AN INTERNET POLITIK.



IM FINALLY IMPORTANT MOM!

I take suicide very seriously. I've had people in my life make that very unfortunate decision so you couldn't be more wrong. I also have been on the receiving end of similar forms of harassment.

You can go on about my not meeting your expectations and try and invent bizarre motives for "power grabs" but how on earth could that work?

I'll grant you that you may disagree with my methods but you can't claim that my motives aren't genuine. This situation all comes down to a very simple fact, if someone wants to be an asshat in game, awesome, welcome to Eve! If that same person takes it out of game, now I have issues.

As to the other CSM members. I'm sorry that what I have said in this thread was viewed as an attack. You have the right to take a stand or not in your own time. But by the same measure, so do I.

I wasn't going to post more in this thread but I felt I needed to correct this poster. I take harassment of someone that may be struggling with depression (a very real and life threatening condition) very seriously. I've seen the effects first hand.

I feel sorry for both parties. Wis should not have been treated the way he was and Mittens is going to have to live with a rash act that will be a dark shadow over much of what he accomplished here in Eve. There are no winners here.

This really is the last post from me until the "official" announcements arrive.

And thanks to everyone that has contacted me directly with your support.

Issler

This isn't going to blow up and be "even worse".

Wow, way to make absolutely sure that you will not get anything at all done during your CSM 7 term. You do realize that the election is over, and now is the time to work together for the good of the people that voted for us, not to try to stir up a shitstorm?

How is coming out to condemn something that need's condemning causing a **** storm? pretty sure Mittani created that don't you think? If you are saying you are going to make another CSM's life more difficult and block what they do in the CSM on the basis of coming out and condemning what happened then you don't deserve to be on the CSM.

You are there to represent us and have our interests at heart, not to be some upset fanboi. If you can't work for the betterment of eve you don't belong there. The CSM needs to make it clear it doesn't support what happened, and that's all Issy did.

Oh and if you can't work with them for saying it, I take it you won't work with Mittani for coming out and saying pretty much the same thing, pretty sure he didn't run his apology by you and got your permission before posting it. Or are you going to just ignore that and be a hypocrite?

No idea who you are guy without an avatar but thats a good post and I'm happy to give you a support for it.
Completely agree.

He's probably worried that 10,000 goons will be ordered to troll him into suicide.

Hmmm hasn't the last half dozen years of relentlessly mocking you people proven I really don't have the slightest inkling of fear for tubby neckbeard spaceship cultists and no need whatsoever for anonymous sockpuppets....

Here's a hint, i voted for her, and im an alt player.. corp members voted for her, alliance menbers voted for her.. I WANT to know what MY representative thinks, and what she wanna do. I dont need another fubar person whom cant think or write his/her own opinion, hiding in a large group hoping this either blows over, or CCP acts,. so they dont have to.

Hey maybe I like being a sockpuppet? been doing it for 7+ years might as well continue the trend right? Never the less it doesn't lesson the message does it?

I am not attacking nor defending mittani or anyone else really, just saying it as I see it.

I'll tell you what mmm "Doctor Derp" is it?

If I'm ever in need of a posting critique from a no-name goonswarm recruit with a penchant for third hand memes handed down from bad posters of yesteryear I'll look you up okay? But until then I'll soldier old regardless. Chin chin and all that!

Isn't second life that game with the boutiques and giant dongs where the goonswarm last proved slightly relevant?

Actually, yes. Yes they do. "Kill yourself irl" is a thing you see goons, esp Mittens, say all the time.

He's probably worried that 10,000 goons will be ordered to troll him into suicide.



That statement is way out of line. Everyone is entitled to the right of due process even Mittens. And before you call be a fan boy no I am not a fan. But I believe that CCP and the CSM should handle this matter and take the action that's appropriate.

Walk up to a real goon at a bar this weekend, if you're old enough to drink, and tell him with all heartfelt sincerity he should kill himself because he's a waste of space. Go on....see what happens. That's my whole point..in the real world there are grown ass consequences for talking this kind of sht to people.
