Yes, there's a clear attempt by CCP to quiet this situation. In the beginning I agreed with it even to the extent of believing that what Mittens had done wasn't that much of a deal. However, when I started reviewing the alliance panel segment of fanfast, his apology and his post panel communications I concluded that he's a egomaniac that is only sorry that he was too drunk to realize he was leaving indisputable and recorded evidence of his behavior.

So, it's important that everyone who sees this situation for what it is and not what Mitten's, CCP and others would hope we would see it as keep bringing the few threads they've kept to the top of the forum.

MITTENS?? LYING?? PERISH the thought of impugning his honor is such a manner

Subscription to "Something Awful Forums" is the first and primary way to be a part of Goonswarm: the corporation (see the difference?)

Wrong.

Massively has nothing to do with CCP's standing policies or the actions of a player before the story is ever written. I'm not going to pretend to know CCP's motivations beyond their EULA/TOS. But, Mittens clearly violated it, apology not withstanding. That CCP waited until Massively reported the incident to ban Mittens has no direct correlation to their actions although, I'm sure it might have had an indirect influence but no more so than the outrage that exploded onto the forums.

Mitanni is lucky......LUCKY that he only got a 30d ban. Many others have experienced much less leniency in similar such instances in much less public venues and whom have much....MUCH less influence over so many other players. Think about that.

Lol. Yeah. Talk about being outed, after his phoney contrition and fake apologies. Hilarious.
The guy is a pathological liar - in character as well as out of character.

A lot of us actually do care, and would rather people did not use that sort of language.

Kindly don't make claims that "nobody" cares when it is actually just you and your permanently adolescent peer group, who think that the more people someone offends, the cooler they are. 10k votes is something like 4 % of possible votes, I believe...

Any chance of this entire topic just dying out any time soon? ****...as much as I love to hate on Goons and especially Mittani, this is just getting old. Nobody is going to change opinions in this thread. That much is clear. If God himself came down and made a declaration one way or the other, everybody would still firmly believe whatever they want.

Prove he meant it in the context of a Role Playing Game.

Ban God.

U MAD BRO?

Don't you worry about the goons losing their leader. He's got banned on The Mittani. What's the chances a guy that into EVE is solo accounting it? He's probably still playng his other 7 accounts just fine.

There'd be no point lol
change IP -> Pay with PLEX -> Win

I'm sure a guy of his fame could borrow an account.

This whole thread is breaking the Eula as it regards a ban.
Talking about bans and petitions is against the law, for so say the ISD members closing threads.

Now, Please close this one to.

Pay money for full access? Sorry, cba to do that.

Reading comprehension.

I do agree Richard this thread should have been closed a long time ago. (by a long time ago I mean 3 days ago.)

My agenda here is simple and transparent. I am using both rouge operator and demichael crimson's post counts to bump this thread way way ahead of the WIS thread they are so fond of. The oft heard cry in that thread is "see this is the biggest thread on the forums, that shows how important WIS is to the player base."

The fact that a single drunk capsuleer saying something in very poor taste in a room full of drunk people can generate a much larger thread than WIS in less than 5% of the time the WIS thread has been in existence shows how little the playerbase really care about barbies.

Bunch of vindictive hypocrites willing to threaten a developer's livelihood just to "get back" at somebody.

There is a hint of mental illness in here.

No, I see what rule you think he broke. I'm just subtly saying you're dumb.

Dude, I was completely cool with you until you got on Eve Radio and tried to make this issue bigger then it really is. Rambling on about how society is now going to see you as a cyber bully and how that will effect you in real life. I don't know in what kind of reality you live in but it's completely insignificant to what really happened.

You are a lair and a cheat, you deliberately said what you said at fanfest and you darn well know it. You gave an interview, pre-fanfest, where you clearly state what your intention were when your speech came up and you held true to your word.

How did you actually go from best CSM chairman to complete lamebrain ? Seriously, you were great in the CSM, you got things accomplished and you fought for the game and the content, your strategy was great and although for any company sometimes unwanted, you got the job done... And then the interview... you went a complete 180 from intellectual strategist to complete lamebrain... and it wasn't alcohol in that interview, not only that, you announced what you were going to say during fanfest and when you actually did say what you were planned to say all along, you get on Eve Radio and cry about how you meant to apologize and how you got smeared by the media and how it's going to effect your life, any sane person knows that logic is completely out of whack, if there is any, I do not see it.

You do not mean anything you said during the Eve Radio broadcast because you announced before fanfest that you wanted to call out to people to go kill themselves, that's what YOU said !!!!

You can not announce what you're going to say, then say it, then get a ton of crap and then go on radio, tell everyone you were messed up because of alcohol.... When you intended to say that crap all along.

You are a liar and a cheat, do not feed the community anymore bullcrap, please. CCP should ban you permanently.

That's because the supporters on both sides of this issue will 'Never Surrender'.

Bumping for trolls

I refuse to let it die...

i can't wait for mittens to post in this thread

at this rate it'll be at 1000 pages when he's unbanned

What? You haven't noticed the timely dissapearance of several prominent Goons on these forums?

The legend is that an HVAC repairman cut his power when instructed to by the alliance command.

Read up on the many wars with BoB. You will learn of a lot of outrageous things.

He plays EvE...that's his job.

Clearly you aced "counting" in kindergarten..

Today is the 10th

18 days...

Also confirming that parrots and puppets are parrots and puppets.

The Mittani is not trolling anyone. It's people on the forums that keep this alive only because they can troll it, even though it's old news and has been dealt with.

I am disgusted that The Mittani was not immediately extradited back to Iceland to face a public and humiliating trial and then summarily executed on a live, world-wide broadcast for saying a stupid thing while drunk.

The world truly has gone mad for letting this injustice stand.
