When did anyone tell anyone else to kill themselves? Last I heard, the guy's name was given out as the one that sent that evemail, with the words "he has his own corp. find him.". That's far from telling someone they should kill themselves.
I'm going to kill myself over that Xenuria video, no joke.
Please make sure to file petitions when I'm gone.
Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.
He doesn't need to break a specific rule.
If CCP says he broke something, that's enough.
Plenty of banned players haven't received proper explanations on what rule they broke. But that doesn't change anything. Deal with it!
Kugu itself is banned by CCP.
Edit: Thanks to everyone who commented on my posts. I have a nice collection of "faggot" and "shit poster" comments in my reputation. Which is cool !
as someone who is entirely on the outside of this (and hates Jagermeister):
- Mittens comment about in game persona and out of game persona is truly relevant to the idea of sportsmanship. It's just fine to tell a guy you want to kill him when you are on the scrimmage line. Telling him you want to kill him once the game is over is a no-no.
- CCP sounded like they over-reacted a little bit.
- I "get Goons" and think they make EvE very interesting. In the game. Goons IRL = I'm going to kill myself.
He made CCP look bad.
Remember, the CSM from its inception was damage control for the T20 fiasco. You can't have it such your council of damage control (and PR) needing its own damage control. He's toxic now.
If this story had gone further, say coverage from a national newspaper like the NYT or LA Times (as likely would have happened if the guy actually did kill himself), it's likely CCP would had to not only get rid of Mittens but would have been under pressure to fire staff who handled and organized fanfest.
The only thing I don't get about CCP's statement is the bit about how this was fine when they were a new company, but now they're too mature for such asinine behavior.
When did that happen? Did I blink or something?

Terms of Service Rule #1 combined with rule #29 probably.
Mittani, would you have issued a public apology if if this didn't turn into a shit storm?

bad moto
Totally on the outside of this as well.
The "community" and the asshole stories that come out of Eve are the biggest asset CCP has, in my opinion. Eve has always been more interesting to read about than to play for me, and jumping all over Mittani for telling one of those stories and making a pretty typical comment is detracting from the reason a lot of people are interested in Eve in the first place. Eve will not work as a happy friendly rainbow hugbox, and the comments from the GM's worry me. Now that they have to play nice because of Sony, DUST and etc., I wonder how far they're going to go in changing the community from the one that we know now into something else that might not be as "compelling."
Not making any excuses for saying something stupid while drunk, but the reaction was way out of proportion with the culture they've fostered so far, and hints at the possibility of major changes down the road that might take away a lot of what makes Eve Eve.
How about some old ones?

If GSF really got set -10 to Concord that is the biggest bit of bullshit from this whole thing. I guess there are (wrong imo) arguments to justify the banning and complete removal from CSM for Mittani, but the entire alliance -10 to concord is pretty harsh from a game perspective. Just because of one guy. I would be so pissed if I were in that alliance. Pissing off all of those paying customers... I feel like this shit never would have happened back even two years ago.- If CCP tries to nerf the uniqueness that is strategic dickery in shady ways like this than the game loses whatever intrigue it had left and all is lost.
What happens if Mittani kills himself after this shit storm ? The man has feelings.
it was a quote from bobbechk early in the thread and I can't confirm it independently, so if it's not true then I redact.
ITT someone thinks CCP arbitrarily changes NPC standings to individual alliances.
We're getting to EVEO levels here people.
Apart from there nothing being in the rules about this sort of thing AFAIK, I'd say no due to lack of precedent in the few similar cases in the past.
If they re-run the election because Mittens fucked up and got himself booted the carebears would most likely blot out the forums about why they didn't get to vote again when their Ankhlebiter bint was shitcanned and same with the lowsec/pirate folks after Larkonis' drunk-breaking the NDA.
If you get yourself canned from the CSM, you alone are responsible for wasting the faith/trust/votes placed in you. Now, you can argue all day if Mitten's punishment was deserved or not, but re-running the election would be dumb regardless.
Just because he's the ~king of space~ doesn't warrant special treatment.
Spin, spin, spinning along. There is a slight difference between telling someone "kill yourself", "DIAF" (which got Helicity banned until they reversed the ban after the shitstorm iirc), etc. and telling/encouraging the public on a live stream at an official CCP event to grief someone with apparently depressive tendencies into comitting suicide.
Yeah. You have to win an ingame event to get that done.
(Was way before my time, but didn't get BoB a big boost to some NPC, iirc Blood Raider, standings for "winning" at an ISD event?)

I often apologize for things when no one is upset by it.

Is the post from November 1st in the gallente ice interdiction thread when I first ganked The Wis and started this entire mess. We reported the incident to CCP then, apparently nothing happens unless you do it in front of Sony entertainment.

why don't you get rejected from PL and develop a complex about it.
Go on ahead to church you goons fucks.
You're right, it's different in a lot of ways (particularly legally since that one was more about an invasion of privacy.) But the reason that case got a lot of attention as well as the crazy lady on facebook is that there's (and I apologize in advance for using this word) a growing interest in "cyberbullying". For us who play the game and understand the context of a lot of this stuff we understand that the standard for inappropriate is very different in EvE than it is in other places (still trying to find that Vonq thread mirror btw), but for outside eyes the vast majority of what goes on in eve seems pretty fucking horrible. And thanks to the presence of the press this was immediately presented in the context of outside eyes.
I guess at the end of the day it was a PR damage control thing, especially set next to their new association with Sony.
Although your point got me thinking....didn't some Rote Kapelle dude have a threesome get live streamed to his alliance? If he kills himself Leboe is going straight to fucking jail.
Except all the people that were there.
Are you actually trying to defend his actions or having a go at CCP's policies it is hard to tell
I know he is your god and all that, nailed to a cross I heard, but really do you have to even think about this to know that he fucked up, and the best course of actions in situations like this is to remove any association with the problem.
I am pretty sure Mittani gets it despite his posturing, its only 30 days for fucks sake
