Apology Accepted. Now Resign, like the man you say you are. You crossed a line that demands punishment, and apologies aside, your punishment is loosing any sort of position on the CSM. Now don't get me wrong, I am proud of you for doing what you've done so far, but the man you say you are will go the full mile.
Now while you're at it, work on removing those Goons of yours that make real like threats of violence and black mail against Eve Players. -DR Teamwork.. Maturity.. Tactics.. www.tacticalgamer.com |

He probably wasn't drunk when he made the power point presentation and I don't believe he was drunk when he intentionally made the decission to mock this player in front of tousands of people.
I see that some may say that his good deeds outweight this one mistake, but this is the price for his fame. Him stepping down as CSM Chairman would be the absolute least to do. Giving all his ISK to the victim, fair enough. Harassing The Mittani even after he takes this actions, too much and also a bit hippocratic.
Yours sincerly Mav, I applaud you speaking your mind as a new player, but there is something you need to understand. Nobody cares about any of the things you mentioned... not the slide, not laughing publicly at the guy, none of that. Yes, we do.
Most of the EVE gaming community actually cares deeply. The OTHER 290k accounts care. My guess is there is actually more players of EVE who care than there are those who do not.
Yes, this is, unfortunately, currently "business as usual" in EVE. But it should not be. Eight years ago it wasn't. Even five years ago it was usual for people to feel at least a bit silly if not ashamed if they clearly overstepped the lines and made other players seriously uncomfortable. It is just the Goonfleet and friends purposeful, deliberate destruction of the community and flaming / spamming / trolling everyone who cares into disgusted silence on the forums, that has changed our community standards from "it's just a game, I'm sorry it upsets you, I have nothing against you personally" to "lololololol it is just a game pubbie tears sweet bloobloobloo lol noob I love you crying."
The difference should be obvious to anyone who has been here long enough.
And I for one think it's way beyond time we went back to the actual sportsmanship, instead of pretending that sportsmanship is about ridiculing those who are already upset about losing.

I don't know man, there're a bunch of jackasses that keep posting off-topic in our Roadhouse thread and frankly I'm getting fed up. Patrick Swayze wouldn't have put up with this crap, and I won't either.
If you don't like talking about Roadhouse, you should go make a thread somewhere else or stop talking about stuff entirely. This is a Roadhouse thread and a POSITIVE Roadhouse thread so Roadhouse haters need not post. |

I think this incident might be a watershed for CCP to really stare rethinking HTFU mentality.
I cant imagine this mentality will translate well into WOD where they are going to be courting more female players.
Or dust 514 where they will pick up more casual and younger players.

Reality check: WOD is going to be an M rated game with permadeath as a possible outcome of pvp. HTFU was written across the board. CCP does not cater to casuals in their mission statement. You're trying too hard to read between nonexistant lines; you're also not posting about Roadhouse. Get out. |

When you add images together in photoshop, even if they're from the same source, unless you're really, really, really good at it, under high contrast and brightness sharp lines will appear differentiating the images. This is a normal EVE picture. http://i.imgur.com/ivcii.jpgHere it is under high contrast at a few different levels of brightness. http://imgur.com/popA5http://imgur.com/f0UUuNotice that the lines are fluid outside of the window breaks. Here's the publord's chatlog under high contrast and brightness. http://i.imgur.com/sbp9M.jpgLook at the sharp breaks within the window itself. Oopsie. Do a better job next time. Also make it so that you and the person you're talking to don't both sound like equally ******** illiterates.
Oh you Geeeewns!
First off,that snippet was taken with Hyperdesktop which uploads really low quality images. Plus I play with really low settings on my stupid computer. So comparing hires images to the low res is stupid.
Secondly,if you want to check for doctoring of images,youd normally check the threshold levels. Not contrast/brightness/saturation which you did there.
But go ahead and put this image http://i.imgur.com/CXEde.jpg through your failsafe method.
These are the two combined http://i.imgur.com/7F2kz.jpg
After threshold. http://i.imgur.com/dfWbk.jpg
Check the artifacts between the texts. If I did modify anything it would show up. I'm a freelance 3D artist by profession,so I know PS at some level.
Also,considering the quality of your corp posting on here,I don't think you're in any position to judge my literacy or lack of it.

I agree with Elsebeth completely on this point and I think you are being deeply dishonest with the response you gave to that new player Ranger 1.
The situation you describe is the outlook of SA forums and an alien culture that has sought to impose itself on the community of eve online. But its a tiny fraction of the player base regardless of how much noise it makes during these threads on the forums. Most players are not Goons, don't think like goons, and don't act like goons. Despite the way the game has been portrayed by Alexander Gianturco's behaviour at Fanfest the game has not been culturally colonized to the exclusion of all else by this kind of brash sexist, hateful I guess you could say Aris Bakhtanians style outlook.
And more to the point I think that was the precise point CCP themselves were trying to make all the way through the Fanfest presentations. "We play the game hard and ruthlessly but face to face as people we're lovely!" I mean jesus christ, you could practically read that script on the teleprompters for their anchor team.
Its a good line. It harnesses the "core gaming" experience stuff their marketing VP was on about, it differentiates the game from other "soft core" theme park MMOs while still reaching out for subscribers who might have previously been put off by all the horrible behaviour and casual bullying that goes on amongst certain sections of the community.
We blow each others ships to hell every night, but there isn't a call to send people to harress a guy into suicide after you ruin his barge business. I mean how complicated is this stuff really?

So you are saying in a game whose primary target audience will be emo goth types it will be ok to hound people using bullying and metagaming.
