If I could go back in time and not have included the slide mentioning the miner, I would do so. While the Eve Online character "The Mittani" would never apologize for any sort of villany in game, I myself, as Alex Gianturco, feel utterly ashamed and sickened by my behavior.
Too little, too late! If alcohol lifts the border of the two, itGÇÖs time to leave for your own good. What damage could be done to yourself next time you might not remember?
So who shall it be you will give up, the mittens or yourself?
Too bad, I liked some of the stuff you set up in Game but itGÇÖs your choice now.

What The Mittens said was a terrible thing. He admits that, he apologises and there's more that has happened in the background to remedy the situation between him and the victim than you will ever see in these forums.
But he cannot really apologise, can he ? If he does, he's just covering his backside. If he does, he's just trying to save his Chairmanship. There's nothing he can do or say in these forums that will please those of you seeking blood, is there ? Oh wait, you want him to resign, or to be banned. Yeah, let's destroy another life whilst the opportunity exists. Afterall, it's his own fault is it not ?
Shame on you. Those of you with those thoughts are sober, well, most of you are. The Mittens was not, that was blatantly evident. That's not an excuse, it's part of the situation leading-up to this incident.
Here you are though, beying for blood, for "justice". Shame on you. I'm sober, sound of mind and lived long enough during hard times to say this to you who are crying from the rafters :-

He made a bad joke, he crossed a fine line with it. He apologised for it. Just because you think something is funny doesn't mean that it is allright to do.
So by apologising and not trying to rationalize the bad thing he did he showed that he actually appears to have a spine. Its much harder to admit that you were wrong than to keep on defending your (or his) wrong position.
What he did was out of line. He got it, he acted on it. Stop defending him for his "bad joke". Take of your pink internet spaceship glasses and stfu before you make yourself look even more stupid.
I will try to make it as short and blunt as possible for you. YOU ARE WRONG. The end.

Any action has a consequence. At this rate The MIttani will have many problems in life. His apology is a good step forward for him to avoid that, but I suspect that will not change his behaviour. The actions of the past still have to catch up with him, so he will get more of this.
IMO his position as CSM chair is unacceptable after this event, banning him from EVE would be too much also.
He has to become responsible, accept his mistake, resign and play like a good puppy for a while. He will rise again if he is smart enough, second time, maybe even better than now, in a good way. lol |

Only if the rest of council agrees with the resignation, which they won't and will want him to stay in the position. If the resignation stands as he plans, it will be sad because the situation has no real bearing on the CSM.
No real politician would have been deposed of his Senatorial seat if he made a comment while drunk. To my knowledge, there has been none that was deposed because of this. |

The pople out for blood took soo long to actually act on this shows they didnt care before the news that The Mitanni was actually chairman again. If possible these threads started before the news then it would simply be because of the drunken words said (And who doesnt say stupid things while drunk) they are simply after kicking him off the chair and for some stupid reason wanting him banned which are both stupid things.
For me he has appologised and that is enough for me, keep the best CSM chairman we have had so far in the chairmans seat. |

You might be shocked, but your morals are not the morals of those around you and (shock incoming) they aren't superior to those of others simply because they're yours.
Actually, I don't believe in morals See, now you're not even trying to be consistent.
I'm sorry if you can't see how a moral nihilist position is compatible with one that invokes social relationships and their interactions as grounds for assessing behaviour. Perhaps further thought is necessary on your part as this position is the natural and logical conclusion of your own run at moral relativism. You see, something doesn't have to be 'morally wrong' to be worthy of criticism and nor do I have to think that something is 'objectively bad' for me to want to prevent such things happening in the future. Social game rules involve an ongoing negotiation amongst the parties involved. Where the Goons have ****** up here is in taking their own communal social game rules and bringing them into the public gaze of the wider community. Given that the Goons explicitly self-identify as a sub-culture and put themselves outside normal societal norms it just bemuses me completely that they react with shock and outrage when they find that, yes indeed the outside world does find their mode of social interaction to be highly offensive.
So, what I'm trying to tell you is my own morals or lack thereof are neither here nor there. I have opinions about what things should and should not happen in a society that I would be happy living in and the Mittani's actions fall into the category of things I would prefer not to happen. However, most of the rest of society will conflate their personal view on that with 'moral wrongdoing' and will, quite reasonably, then go looking for the head of the 'wrongdoer'. And their society is bigger and more influential than your sub-culture. This is just a mirror of the approach the Goon's took to the Wis. He offended your sense of propriety with his mail so he was mocked and publicly pilloried because he was sufficiently weak to be targeted in that way. Mainstream society just has slightly different forms for handling such things and frequently not forms I agree with either.
Finally, I have to say that I will indeed feel genuinely sorry for the RL Alex if this stuff gets picked up by the mainstream press as I wouldn't wish that on anyone. Indeed, I will feel more sorry for him than the player he mocked. However, I will also think he has more personal responsibility for landing himself in that situation and I don't think that these potential unfortunate consequences should be used to argue that he shouldn't have been criticised in the first place. |

Nobody is defending what he did at Fanfest, that was dumb. It's people drawing attention to this because they are opposed to what he has done for the betterment of the game as a whole, or because of bitterness over petty bullshit like getting suicide ganked, scammed or whatever by Goonswarm members.
You don't have a higher moral ground to stand on and you should stop pretending that you do.

See in particular post #68, in which someone's in game eve mail is posted to the forums.
If this is what these people actually did and said at the panel, this is so totally disgusting and sadistic that it can't be accepted.
I don't care about what happens in the game, since I can't do anything about it.
Holding someone up to PUBLIC ridicule in real life and following it up by encouraging people to continue this behavior on the forums, by posting the guy's eve mail to the forums, is not acceptable behavior by a human being.
You should read the thread if you want background. The quick version is that this person was apparently very rich in the tears that these plays love so much. He is referred to as depressed and suicidal. If the thread is accurate, our CSM chair encouraged people to get in touch with this guy and harass him further and gave out his name at the panel. Someone followed this up by posting one of the guy's eve mails to the forums.
These are major eve players actually encouraging people to cause a play psychological harm, and in a PUBLIC context outside the game. This cannot be accepted.

To the torch and pitchfork crowd, get a life.
Seriously, the man apologized, he deeply regrets what he said. If you have never said or done something stupid or that your ashamed of, it is only because you have never been drunk.

That damage could undo the good they've done since Crucible. What is the 'greater good' you speak about? Griefing happens everyday in EVE, in different levels. It is because CCP has taken different approach than other MMO's: they have allowed it in their game, while in some other games you would be banned right away when calling someone 'stupid'. I'm 100% sure that many of these posters who come here to cry about The Mittani and his actions have actually done similar things themselves. That is hypocrisy, my friend. The Mittani has done well in CSM and was re-elected with massive amount of votes. Serving the 'greater good' in this case would mean him continuing in his position. Everyone does mistakes, everyone slips at some point, but one certainly shouldn't be crucified for that if he could make many other things better for a big bunch of people. Whilst all very true, the problem is that his comments were made out of game at a official CCP Event. An Official Event being transmitted live to thousands of people with CCP employees present, I'm no expert but something tells those people who have millions of dollars invested in CCP would not appreciate the amount of negativity publicity currently on the internet, neither would CCP partners such as Sony and Nvidia, especially considering the topic in question is so prevalent in today's media and with the growing band wagon of people who are trying to blame computer games for kids running riot. Why do you think CCP has a rule that you can not post kill mails, eve mails and chat logs for the sole purpose to mock and humiliate people? CCP know there is a line that can not be crossed, unfortunately for Alex he did cross this line. I do have a lot of sympathy for Alex, He does not deserves the amount of real life vilification he has received. It was a dumb misguided action made worse due to him being drunk. I have no sympathy for CCP as I can not believe that somebody didn't think of just giving the presentation slides a quick once over just to make sure they were no crossing any lines, considering the reputation that some of the alliance members leaders have and also that they were stinking drunk as well. The slides from GSF were clean of names.
The specifics have been over and over, but him giving out the name was NOT part of the presentation, and was an off the cuff thing he did as a drunken response to someone asking him if he wanted to know where the guys was.
Basically, it was a tasteless way of saying 'we already know where he is, you don't need to tell us'.
And I imagine that they double checked every one of those quotes to see where the person being quoted currently is in the game, if only to be prepared to engage in some serious trolling.
The 'drive him to kill himself' comment was stupid drunken shenanigans of the sort everyone who has had alcoholic fun has done in a moment of excess, only for him it was televised.
Still better than the drunken stuff I did as a kid, convincing people it would be a good idea to jump off cliffs or light cars on fire. Inappropriate signature removed, CCP Phantom. |

Sorry I'm getting lost. What does how many votes he gets in an election for a game have to do with him trying to get people to harass a player into killing himself in real life? There is (or well, at least on that moment when the mockery happened) not a single solid proof that the player mentioned was even depressed. This is internet. You can lie, you can cheat as much as you want and never be held responsible for what you have done. To me it seemed more like attention seeking, or even a threat, so he could get away from the situation and stop losing his precious internet spaceships. Certainly it seemed like that to the people who mocked him - they didn't take him seriously, because, you know, there is always a chance that he can cheat.
I don't know of course, there is possibility that this guy really is depressed. People have killed themselves over internet stuff before. It just seems strange, that as a depressed and especially a suicidal person you go and tell about your depression to someone. Knowing some that are suffering from that illness, they usually tend to hide it from strangers because they are ashamed of themselves. Of course the cases can vary, but many of the suicide threats are part of angst and attention seeking - they are not really going to do it.
The important thing is that The Mittani apologized. He made a mistake. In my eyes, the mistake he made wasn't so severe that he should be ultimately punished for that. |

Once he resigns this will all be over with. I think it's good that he's willing to take that step. It shows a great deal of character. It would be extremely pathetic if he somehow managed to weasel his way out of doing, and I personally don't believe him to be that kind of person.
Hopefully he won't prove to be the person folks accuse him of being in the coming days, we can promote whoever got the second highest votes to chairman and then move on. :) |

Hopefully he won't prove to be the person folks accuse him of being in the coming days, we can promote whoever got the second highest votes to chairman and then move on. :)
So you clearly want him deposed, as I suspect everyone against Mittani in this thread want.
Typical that you would voice outright what everyone here is afraid to voice.
Using a drunk comment to depose a guy is the dumbest thing. It's the equivalent of a Senator losing his seat in the Senate because he stated at a party while drunk, "I think Hilary should be on her knees." |

I got it, everyone at fanfest understood it so why can't you?
He made a bad joke that was wildly inappropriate.
See what I did there?

Sorry but 80+ pages of vitriolic garbage on this topic seems to me to be a little excessive, yes the man behaved like an Ass, smashed off his face he managed to do what so many of us have done before at sometime and say something that later came back to haunt us.
But let us look at the simple facts here, in spite of his taunting regarding the loss of a few pixels it seems the victim, if there ever really was one is fine and well and continues to play EVE as he once did, mining away at ice which according to some is the lowest profession in EVE that can be found.
Hints that the manGÇÖs life was a wreck due to these drunken comments have proven unfounded, hypothetically if his wife had left him or his children really did not want to know him is this anything to do with EVE, only in as much as maybe he should have concentrated on his marriage rather than playing internet spaceships for hours we will and IMO should never know.
The one thing that strikes me glaringly is the fact that this thing has been blown out of all proportion, and no one here is asking why right now anyone should do this, he did indeed crack a bad joke and in return feels humbled by allowing himself to get so '**** Faced' as to have engaged his mouth before his brain had studied the multitude of political capital that some would make from this comment, Sound familiar to anyone.
Wonder how many times we have all felt like walking round and punching some prick in the face for some comment or deed in EVE only prevented by the distance that EVE presents us all with, but in this case no distance was provided, he said what he did and has made an apology publicly for it so come on people.
Leave it alone and get on with the game, |
