It is very stange how some would openly allow and feel no remorse for this sick and sadistic behavior exhibited by Mittani. Monsters will be monsters, I suppose. Would that be be the poor suicidal person that joked about his "I want to die after my divorce statement"? Or the poor suicidal person who was completely unaware that he was supposedly being "cyber bullied", and could care less about all this nonsense? Weather or not the person was suicidal is completely irrelevant to the argument from both a legal and PR standpoint. oh i remember now, cipher jones, you're that moron who was like "all forms of ganking is griefing, which is considered a bannable offense eula etc, and CCP Y U NO enforce your own rules" a while back

Nice apology. Only future will tell if it was enough and in time.
I guess Alex Gianturco has learned a few things here like not appearing on public worldwide TV drunk and that there is a limit to how far you can take the meta-gaming and ingame character.
I do hope he survive this storm as CSM chair. He did stupid but he also got 10k votes and I believe he is good for the game.
Good luck The Mittani. |

Right now there are two kind of people in Eve. Those that get this, and those that do not. The Mittani is gone. Deal with it. http://eveprincessbride.wordpress.com/ |

How exactly do you know it was a heart-felt apology? And I don't mean that like a Goon would. You know, demanding college degrees in psychology and knowing the person for decades and nonsense like that. I mean in the "have you personally talked with this guy before or after he gave the apology" sense. As in, do I have any reason to believe you or place any credibility in what you have said?
You think we would honestly? Most of our information is coming in through his wife right now amusingly enough (She is a Goon as well, but does not play Internet Spaceships and in fact hates this game). Ultimately the only thing anyone can do from a logical standpoint is take it at face value, hope it's right.
Notrollzone: I honestly don't like Mittens that much, in the real world he's a bit of a hoity toity elitist snob, his jokes fall flat and outside of story time he's not a particularly good public speaker. But in spaceships the man gets results as both the leader of a major Powerbloc and as the head of the CSM. He virtually works magic in seeing the potential in others and putting it right where it can do the most good.
Frankly we're just milking as much effectiveness as we can out of the man before he has a complete meltdown goes fuckgoons and disbands the alliance.
Probably tomorrow when he logs in. |

I'd still have to say that I think you should step down as chairman, Mittens. The only way that an apology from a goon can be considered heartfelt and honest is with a gesture as big as that...
Don't worry, most of the alliance thought it was at least vaguely funny in a "holy ****, did he really just say that on a live stream?" sort of way if our jabber was any indication. Mittens really does seem to feel bad about what he said though, he certainly wasn't intending to give out the guy's character name (the slide didn't have it), much less suggest anyone try to get him to commit suicide. Character names of other players were included in the slides of other presentations in the alliance panel, so I guess CCP isn't worried about that, but Mittens seemed genuinely shocked that he'd even jokingly suggested people try to get someone to commit suicide when he found out what he'd said. The only part of this I've seen him even remotely blame on the alcohol is not remembering it happening
Don't worry though, the rest of the goons still think this is completely overblown, especially with the guy seemingly fine and not really bothered by what was said. We continue to be the online assholes we've always been. |

Still waiting on an explanation here. Regardless of which "side" you are on in this, "people" or "goon", everyone can agree that Alex, tbp The Mittani, screwed up. Even The Mittani agrees with that. See his above apology. Now it's a matter of damage control. For Alex to leave with any sort of honor, he must resign from the CSM, and soon. For CCP to get out of this with any sort of honor, they must ban him, because what he did was proveably premeditated, and far exceeds behaviour that CCP has banned people over in the past.
We'll get right on it.  |

Due to the very large amount of people trying to distract from the main point of this thread, I would like to restate what I had earlier posted:
- No matter how many of Mitten's friends come on here trying to defend his non-excusable actions, the fact remains that this will not be simply smoothed over with his "I was drunk" apology, nor any other. The game politics of who's alliance you are in has nothing to do with this. Mittani must be reprimanded for his severe actions against this poor suicidal person he had targeted to mock and make fun of in spite of his situation.
This sick and sadistic attitude of Mittani's is hopefully not just his "roleplaying as a bad guy" ideals coming out in real life. If this would be the case, it would imply that he is in a deep state of psychosis and is unfit to be a public figure to stress the opinions of multitudes of people. I certainly do not condone this behavior as acceptable. As said before, "The real you comes out when you are drunk". -
There is no damage control for this.

As long as it is kept in the game. Mittens asked for game actions to happen to get the guy to kill himself in real life. He did not say this on some private forum, or even just here on eve-o. He said this during a live web stream, in front of hundreds of neckbeards at the main CCP event they have once a year.
You guys really, really need to stop defending his actions. This has nothing to do with your terrible forever war in null. So stop making it that way. I bet you any amount of ISK if that was Sir Molle up there and he said all of that, you would be going absolute ape **** over it and demanding CCP take action immediately.

Agreed on the part concerning the issue becoming known in the gaming community.
However he is already in the process of removing himself as chairman.
More importantly, this will actually serve to enhance EVEs reputation as a harsh and dangerous place... likely resulting in an increase in subscriptions.
I'm not judging by making that statement, just stating an opinion based on past observation. When I check troll in the dictionary, it has a photo shopped picture of you standing somewhere in the vicinity of a point.
Also, I can kill you with my brain. |

From CCP's perspective I don't see how they can come to any other conclusion from their investigation other than the Mittani had pre-organised to make the comments that he did. And any media outlet is going to burn CCP at the stake if they ignore this fact in their PR damage control.
This can not be quoted enough.

Nah. We'd countertroll.
Also it should be noted that molle did tell us to go die in video format during the Bob BBQ.
But that's a bit of a weak equivalence. I'm willing to bet you can find more than one threat or bits of reveling in real life harms and death that have occurred to various goons if you dug into the forums a bit. |

People have threatened goons, and there families many times IRL. ****, your example litterally happened, Molle did say he wanted all goons who showed up to his BBQ to die. In real life.
****, read this thread you will see people threaten goons.
Generally they laugh it off. After all the internet is serious business. I think the founder of the website proclaimed himself the "King of e-Threats" for the number of death threats he has received.

Really though, there's not much here for anyone media-wise to run with. Mainstream media isn't going to give a toss since The Wis is an adult, and a story about an adult being bullied wouldn't go beyond the comedy phases. Gaming media COULD be more specific I guess, but The Wis' overall indifference to the whole thing (and Mittens' apology both to him and in public) makes it dead before it got started, since once The Wis is gone, you've really got nothing beyond either blurfing about how Eve is a mean game (in other news, the sky is blue) or trying to take the words of players with agendas as transparent as can be (in other words, Eve political stuff).
The only thing major that CCP is going to change about this will be a lot of procedural stuff for the next fanfests (more in-depth presentation vetting, reserving the right to not let someone present if they're too drunk/high/whatever). If Mittens leaves either the CSM or just the Chair, it'll be his own doing and nobody else's. |

No one is saying him mocking The Wis for freaking out was in the wrong.
Him hinting at further, open harassment was.
