Also you people think Sony cares about what people think...... hilarious! Let me tell you about a little game called Star Wars Galaxies....

This is smoske all over again, except The Wis is smoske (not dead, obviously) and all you pubbies are BoB, looking for any excuse to get Mittens off the CSM.

I don't think Sony Entertainment would want to advertise connections with Eve Online Community Figureheads who encourage others to harass those with mental difficulties? I think not Sir. Your sarcasm has no place here. The Line was Crossed.

Because alternates don't go to Iceland. Alternates really don't count.

Unless they break NDAs.

The Mittani is an online gaming character. I don't care what he
does in the EVE universe.

Alex Gianturco is a representive of The EVE online gaming community.
His face is the one people will see when they assess this community.
He should step down now.

FLBP

YOU ARE AND ALWAYS WILL BE SPACE KING OF MY d**k.

I think the only solution is to also fly the alternates to Iceland too!! So we can give him non-stop scowls and make guff huffing noises everything he speaks!!!

Issler

One is done, both here and to the miner. Three is done. Two takes a post, and I should probably discuss it with the CSM before I mash butan.

I think Two Step would make a fine Chairman, though.

YOU ARE AND ALWAYS WILL BE SPACE KING OF MY HEART.

Let's be straight, and not over look some important facts.

You made the presentation prior to going to the panel. (your intentions at this point were clear)
You spoke @ the panel. (you acted on your intentions prior to the fanfest)
Your members backed what you said for several days here on the forums. (further showing that these intentions were/are shared by a larger group of associates)

Now you apologize. For yourself, for your associates, for who? To save face?




Just goes to show how sincere this apology really is.

Bigger people in the real world have apologized and resigned from real positions of power, for much much smaller things.
That being said, make the sacrifice to make it sincere. Integrity.

If you had not made it a part of your actual presentation, it could be ran off as a mistake, mis-speaking.
If your fellow members didn't stand behind what you said, and pander all over the EVE-O forums like monkeys, it could have again, been ran off as a mistake.


The fact is you made this an actual part of your presentation, then followed through with presenting it, as humor.
Then your members, friends, associates, supporters ran all over the EVE-O forums stating their support of your words, for this or that reason, further creating even more problems, divides and ultimately much deeper issues within the eve community.



Apologizing for bumping into someone. acceptable
Apologizing for spilling some water on someone on accident. acceptable
Apologizing for accidentally hurting someone. acceptable

Apologizing for deliberately trying to cause harm to someone utilizing a video game as your execution platform. Unacceptable.
Apologizing for egging others on to cause harm to another via a video game. Unacceptable.

It's called cyber bullying, and like it or not, it's not funny. Even if it's meant in jest.
Your words and actions do not just effect the individual you were targeting but an entire community of players. Cause & Effect.

I must admit...the anticipation of his next move is killing me.

hah GoonWaffe recruitment is going to explode

It's a crime because of it's potential to harm people. Is my point. The fact that everyone who drinks and drives doesn't get in an accident makes no difference.

@pilots demanding the resign of The Mittani: wow you guys are just bottom feeders rushing to do what ever you can to squash what you think is killing your game. Reality Check CCP is fixing the game for every one, and if you want to hang this on the CSM then fine do so, but we know what is really causing CCP to wake up and fix EVE.

Why haven't we heard anyone complaining about the horrible embarrassment suffered by those poor people who had their singing played during the panel? Oh how they must have died.

YOU ARE AND ALWAYS WILL BE SPACE KING OF MY HEART.

.......and vanish in the smoke.

Why is everyone freaking this its what happens in the game over and over and nothing is done and hell its encouraged. Hell you have all seen it on the forums as well maybe not the exact way but its here. If someone comes on forums and says something you all attack them also. You should have had your macs aligned ha hah your an idiot can i haz your stuff. U mad bro and many other comments a 10 yo could come up with this is the typical eve players. Look at what they allow to happen and only because its in the spotlight anything is done about it. You even see it on the forums here about griefing a guy till he quits and they think putting someone through hell is funny. Hes a miner he should just quit anyway blah blah grief them all. This guy is a freaking idiot look at his fit blah blah kill his moron!! hahahhahah. This is nothing new CCP should come out and say yup this is the type of game we want eve to be or they should start cracking down on it in game and on the forums. You don't have to grief to have fun in eve but that is what everyone loves to do and they say they will quit if i can't grief people and act exactly like MIT acted like. You can go to war and not be a **** and have fun mature time fighting over sov and whatever you want to do. Quit trying to cover up what you all cherish doing, its what eve is known for. This is eve can i have you stuff since you butt hurt. Flame away and attack me for the true i just spoke its what you guys do best.

This action by you was dispiccable, and inexcusable.

This post is mearly damage control so that you can try to keep your post on the top of the EVE pyramid. It makes no sense to appologize to us, you should be making ammends to the person/ persons you have wronged. The fact that you are posting publicly here is just for your corp mates can post in thier usual spam way.

Game or not, thier should be ethics involved here. You clearly loose yours easily, and blame alcohol as a scape goat. You are NOT the kind of person who should be writing policy, or be a representitive to/ for ANYONE!

To have the knowledge that someone is actualy depressed to the point of killing themselves, and calling for thousands of people to grief that person with the purpose of causing them to actually procede is damn near MURDER.

I'm sure this presentation was made when you were sober, so I dont believe alcohol is a good reason for doing what you did. Another assumption I'm willing to make a jump on, is that you probably already have your alliance carrying out your request.

All of this adds up to you leaving any formal position you have immediatly. After the CCP formal investigation, I hope they find you to be unworthy of the EvE universe.

You have gone over the top to ruin gameplay, and now lives.
