New EVE Online Thread

[Alcibiades]

(they approved the powerpoint slide in the first place lolz)

Yeah but supposedly it all went down during an unscripted Q&A after the presentation.  Either way you should be smarter than  to say that shit when you're representing something in front of a lot of people.

Mittani being an asshole?  Shocking.

[MadBurgerMaker]

The slide with the dude's evemail about killing himself over the loss of some mining ships was pre-screened and approved, his wife specifically mentioned it as being part of the presentation afaik, just the question about it and the response with his game name was in the Q&A or whatever.

It doesn't really matter either way.  He was already going to resign because of it (because he acted like "The Mittani," CEO of GoonSwarm and destroyer of pubbies, when he was supposed to be "Alex Ghoweveritsspelled," actually pretty chill dude and representative of the players of a video game, instead), the only surprise was the ban, and since the guy barely logs into the game as it is, that didn't really matter all that much either.  Only thing I can see that it really did in the end was give us a date to start the 10,000 vote Jita thing.  His wife seemed kind of pissed off about it though, despite not wanting him to be on the panel in the first place, since they hadn't ever done anything about the death threats,etc, from EVE weirdos they (and their dog  ) had been getting pretty regularly.

TEST declared war on the miner.  DurrHurrDurr told him they might stop it if he self destructs a fitted battleship called "bottle of xanax" or something similar.

You get what you paid for. The lemmings voted for Mittani, and he came right on through.

Yeah he did.  Unfortunately, he won't be there to continue actually getting shit done this time around. 

Oh wait, did you think CSM6 was the same as 1-5? 

He did say Two Step (who didn't want Mittani off the CSM along with most of the other members) is a good guy and busted his ass on 6, so hopefully he'll get the chair and will be able to work with CCP like Mittani was vs. the types of retards you apparently want on there.  CCP is probably pretty happy to oblige you though so they can go back to just being able to mostly ignore the CSM.  Riverini (absolutely fucking nuts), Xenuria (focus on walking in stations!), and Darius III (broke the NDA to give info about CCP meetings to Riverini) for CSM!  I can't remember the neo-Nazi's name right now, but that guy too!  These are seriously the types of alternatives you're talking about the "lemmings" NOT voting for.  Darius is already on there, Rivierini is now one away from being on it.  Thankfully Xenuria is way back behind all of them.

Exsqueeze me?

[MadBurgerMaker]

Exsqueeze me?

He's in a corp with his 30 other alts.  They wardecced the corp.

This whole thing happened during the ice interdiction thing.  They ganked him once, then scammed him out of ~1.5b in "protection money," then went and offed all ~25 of his exhumers at once.  He sent an email about wanting to kill himself.

E: Wait, they hit five of his guys at once the first time:

Goons are such assfucks.
That is pretty fucking funny, though.

[MadBurgerMaker]

   Figured you'd like that.

[Berkut]

This is a pretty long video (30 minutes) but it has excellent commentary, and a lot of cool insight into how the guys who know what they are doing fight.

Stuff like this makes me realize how far away from competency I am at this game.

[MadBurgerMaker]

Yeah, Rooks and Kings are one of those crews that are just good at this game.   I think they were the ones who figured out the tracking exploit AHARM were using in their wormhole too.

E:  Oh in case you missed that in your absence:  The exploit was that inside of a certain type of wormhole system, they figured out that if you use tracking disruptors on your own ships, the game puts the tracking number and optimal below zero.  Which the game, of course, interprets as "unlimited," or if not unlimited, something really really high.  So they were using short range, high damage guns and hitting for max damage from like 200km away.    Pretty rough on anyone trying to come into that particular system.

[MadBurgerMaker]

Ah.  Helicity came back, so Hulkageddon V is on once GSF gets done killing everything in Jita.  There's isk to be made off of it this time even if you don't win: GSF will provide 100 million isk per 10 Hulks or Macks you kill.

[Alcibiades]

Eh, Helicity has been back for a while, been shitting around my local every once in a while.
