the play where dbrb sucks mittani's penis

INT. SOME SORT OF GEEK/LAWYER HYBRID'S LOVELY HOUSE - WINTER IN CHICAGO - NIGHT

A party is in progress. Party is loosely defined here as it is 98% ugly men consuming alcohol and wiping cocktail sauce from their 4XL black t-shirts. Loose groups of chatting nerds are throughout the house. Camera pans in on a small group gathered around THE MITTANI who is talking of sabres.

He has his audience of two or three fawning nerds entranced. Although other conversations nearby are loud and filled with emoticons actually being spoken aloud, MITTANI'S voice is clearly heard with impeccable enunciation.

Having finished regaling another group with some sort of fabricated story, DBRB enters view from left and joins the half circle around MITTANI who is casually leaning against the wall, one leg drawn up, balancing on the other; a common pre-larp/pre-gothic dance stretching exercise for him. He continues his explanation:

MITTANI
(smugly)
....which is why AWU V is particularily important on this sabre fit. Furthermore, it frees up...

DBRB
(interrupts abruptly)
Yeah, I did that in Cloud Ring last year. I used that sabre fit and just absolutely raped....

MITTANI
(flicker of annoyance briefly flashes across his face, but he almost instantly recovers, his face settling upon an absolutely blank expression, a certain steeliness is still visible in his eyes.)
(coldly)
Excuse me, DBRB?

DBRB
(surprised to be cut short during another stupid loving story, but smiles at his beloved CEO)
Yes, Mittens?

MITTANI
(emotionless)
Do me a big favor, please, and perform fellatio on me.

Small giggle from nerd listening in.

DBRB
(confused)
What?

MITTANI
(leans towards DBRB)
I (pause) want (pause) YOU (emphasis, pause) to suck my cock until I cum into your mouth.

DBRB nervously laughs. Nearby conversations taper out as more nerds turn to listen to this fresh development.

MITTANI
(voice, still coldly robotic, increases in volume)
I'm quite serious. In fact, if you don't start sucking me, and well, mind you, you will become permabanned and booted from Goonswarm this very night. This very loving night. And not one of our allies will accept you. You will be blacklisted. Your experience in EVE will effectively end, reducing your small real life to almost nothing.

As this is being said, DBRB'S face undergoes much emotional turmoil, running the gamut of fear to abject horror until finally settling on a nervous smile, for this exchange reminded him of his wrestling days, when his team mates would mash his face into their buttocks and groins in homoerotic, but joking and playful, displays of bonding and friendship. DBRB has decided this is just such an instance of the same type.

MITTANI drops his other leg to the floor, and stands straight.

MITTANI
(sudden anger)
Stop smiling, fat man! I'm serious. Get on your knees now.

DBRB laughs and drops ponderously to his knees, looking left and right, catching the eyes of a now substantial crowd of goons. He is letting them know, by his compliance, that he is in on the "joke".

DBRB
Har Har Har. How much iskies do I get?

MITTANI
(snarls)
Shut the gently caress up!
(face becomes calm again, continues in a quiet, cold tone)
Now, undo my pants.

DBRB'S face is now flushed in embarrassment. His eyes dart up to the faces of the crowd of nerds, who are watching this in shock. His mind races, trying to come to terms with what was happening here. He stammers.

MITTANI
(quietly, with much menace)
Boat, take my cock out and put it in your mouth.

DBRB'S eyes widen like some sort of obese deer trapped in headlights. Tears collect in their lower rims as he slowly reaches up and unfastens MITTANI'S belt. Our CEO watches this, impassive.

TAMIR LENK
(shouts from the back row of watching nerds)
I have a room for this, you know.

MITTANI
(eyes never leaving DBRB)
Continue.

DBRB unfastens the button of MITTANI'S jeans and slowly draws the zipper down, tears streaming down his flushed face. He reaches in and pulls out a fully engorged, shaved penis and scrotum. It pulses, its purple head moving slightly up and down in front of DBRB'S face.

DBRB
(weakly)
Please....

MITTANI
Suck it, Boat, or you're out.

DBRB, sobbing now, grasps the veiny member and inserts it into his mouth. He begins to move his head back and forth gently, without closing his mouth fully. MITTANI grabs the back of DBRB'S head and forces his cock all the way in, causing DBRB to choke. Recovering, DBRB begins to suck the penis, building a rhythm that MITTANI reciprocates, rocking his hips to ensure proper depth.

At this time, most of the crowd stands aghast at the spectacle unfolding in front of them. Open mouthed and speechless, they bear witness to this display. Some few turn away disgusted, while a couple stand rapt, flushed and sweaty, visibly aroused.

While DBRB continues his blow job, his muffled sobs heard through the dick in his mouth, MITTANI turns his gaze away from his oral servicing, looks at the nerds he was speaking with earlier, and continues as if his penis is not currently being sucked.

MITTANI
Of course, we are talking autocannons here, not artillery. Artillery is king in my Alpha Fleet, but on small gang (turns briefly to DBRB and snaps) LESS TEETH! (turns his head back to the nerds) pvp you can get amazing dps out of this dictor. In fact, with the proper damage implants..(stops abruptly)

At this time THE MITTANI cums into DBRB'S mouth. As MITTANI remains expressionless and silent during his orgasm, we are shown that it has occurred due to a brief spasming of his buttocks, and the fact that DBRB begins to choke and gag. MITTANI withdraws his swiftly shrinking member from DBRB'S mouth and suddenly slaps him full across the face. DBRB reels from the blow and involuntarily swallows.

MITTANI
(quietly, suddenly peaceful)
Leave me.
(begins to fasten his pants)

DBRB stumbles to his feet and blindly, sobbing, pushes through the shocked crowd. He breaks free, all eyes upon him, and enters the bathroom, desperate to remove the bitter, cheesy taste from his mouth, and to escape from view. He slams the door, locks it, and rushes the sink. He turns the faucet on and begins to slurp water into his mouth, trying to become clean again. As his eyes clear of tears, and numbness sets in, he turns to something catching his eye near the toilet. There, written in marker on the top sheet of toilet paper, are the words "The Mittani Sends His Regards."

Isn’t that sort of what they’re doing? I know they hired Elise, and are investing in their London office.

ccp lost $8m last year. revenue was flat, the loss was because they spent more money, though it wasn't clear on what (i wouldn't believe it was on EVE without hard evidence). last year, when they made a small profit, the small profit they made was less than the subsidy the icelandic government gives them.

And they picked the platform they couldn't easily refactor the code from to flip it to PC (easily being a relative term). Maybe Sony were the only ones even putting an offer on the table, but they have only in the past few years started coming around to multi-platform crossplay; if CCP had put Dust 514 on the XBox they could've had it on PC too from day 1

Same. If CCP finally instituted master accounts and let you pay for concurrent logins separately from Omega queues and you could just log in however many characters you pay for, then that would be something worth the price increase.

Just off the top of my head, the first Omega subscription is 1 queue, 2 logins, 3 characters for $20. The second Omega subscription is 2 queues, 4 logins, 6 characters for $15. The third is 3/6/9 for $10, fourth is 4/8/12 for $5. Fifth through tenth is still $5 each, add three characters to pool, one extra queue, two more logins. Eleventh and beyond reduces the price to $2.50 per account.

Want 3 logins but just one subscription? $5. Flat.

Want 2 queues on one subscription, without increasing your logins or the character pool you can choose from? $5. Flat.

I've wanted them to do this for years.

  • Pay $Amount per simultaneous Omega skill queue active
  • Pay $OtherAmount per simultaneous login
  • Keep cosmetics on a per-Character basis.
  • Put as many Characters as you want into one Account
  • Use reCAPTCHA or similar tech when creating a new Character to prevent bullshit namespace attacks

I would just not be a little bitch like CCP is, each account would be $10 a month, and you can train freely on all characters on that account at no extra cost. Free accounts can have access to all skills and ships, but you train slower and don't get any login bonuses, but the omega login bonuses are much nicer than they are now.

the F2P games usually have microtransactions though? I would be perfectly ok with alpha being able to buy some meaningless loot boxes that give out the same rewards as omega dailies, or for omega being able to log in multiple characters off of the same account because right now CCP needs to do something to reward subscribers, rather than just inconvenience free players.
