This story made me grin. The banning thing, obviously.

And no, CCP didn't trash 10k votes. Mittens did. Tough break, they should have voted for someone who would have been more responsible.

But he resigned from the Chairman position, he still is/will be in CSM so those votes arent waisted ?

Not quite, he resigned from the chairman position himself, and then CCP removed him from the CSM as per

He has also resigned from his position as Chairman of CSM 6 and has forfeited his right to serve on CSM 7

from the second dev blog.

This is utterly moronic by CCP.  EULA applies outside of game now!

Waiting for my ban for impersonating Mittani at fanfest, which is also against the EULA if done in-game.

Load of BS, and you know it.
Besides, CCP has every right to simply ban you without giving any reason. It's their house.



About what Mittens did: It's more than just calling out to harass a player, it was literally "And if you want to make him kill himself, that's his name", but that's covered in the devblogs.
I've got respect for him that he wrote an apology and stepped down on his own accord, and maybe that's why he's so damn lucky that the ban is just for 30 days.
Loosing the chairman position is a must, but I'm not so sold about loosing the CSM7 position. On the other hand he can run for CSM8 again.

Unpleasant decisions for everyone involved, I guess.

All the drama about "Fanfest 2013 will be boring now" is absurd, too.

In a lot of countries, including my own, Mittani's action was a crime. A 30 day ban is worthless. The apology is quite simply not sincere. No one takes a 180 degree turn like that entirely out of the blue. He saw the potential consequences of his actions and started doing damage control. He should have been banned for life and charges should have been made.

"Unclassy in fanfest" being a bannable offense is something I would be against too. Being a criminal at fanfest should be a permaban offense.

Ah well, it just confirms that goons are weaponsgrade douchebottles whether they're at the bottom or the top of the pyramid.

Unclassy at fanfest, now a bannable offense in game!

Hell one of my corpmates vomited violently and repeatedly in the hot tub on our floor.  Classy indeed!

It's all about context, Bach.

Anyone who needs confirmation of this is either blind, deaf and dumb, or not paying attention, tbh. At least sometimes the douchebottle-ness is funny. Raining penises in Second Life, anyone?

Also, it's amusingly ironic that this mess has turned the so-called "victim" into even more of a target than before.

From what I've seen/read the victim is surprisingly apathetic about the whole thing. He just doesn't seem that bothered. He's also gained 10.7bill in reparations from the Mittani's wallet. Of course, isk doesn't make it better obviously, but the victim has accepted the apology and now just seems to want everyone to stop making such a fuss.

This, pretty much. 30 days isn't punishment at all for that he did. About a month worth of play time denied, wow, how will he cope?

The ONLY good thing about this is that the one person on the CSM who really should not be there is not there anymore. Let's hope he will be barred from the CSM forever onwards, then we can all breathe easier for EVE's sake.

[Mizhara]

This thing has made the forums kind of funnier though. Goons crying everywhere.

[BloodBird]

Only funny because they never seemed to realize their assholery could have repercussions and now that it did they are all hurt and offended by it. What a shame.

[Matariki Rain]

Goons complaining that they're feeling griefed does have have a certain schadenfreude to it...

BS. Mittani was a douche, but the CSM was better with him then without him.

*cough*

I was just thinking this morning, that this would be one of a handful of songs that describes EVE in a nutshell.

Also, I agree with Vendrin here - as much as I hate the heavy nullsec bias on the CSM, he did do a lot of good work over the past year.

How exactly is the CSM better with a sociopathic criminal on it? This isn't even hyperbole. He's shown several sociopathic tendencies and his actions are illegal in quite a few civilized countries.

Of course it does, always has. Any action you take outside the game for the purpose of, or having the effect of, breaching the EULA in-game will be stamped down upon.

This includes targeted griefing, trying to crash the servers, RMT, posting exploits etc. If really want to do such stuff, you'd better cover your tracks so that can't be traced back to your character....

I think that's a bit much. I'll just stick with 'immature.'
