Nooo. All who wished Mittani bad, know that you are freaks! Mitanni is the best leader I've ever known in this game. And I hoped to the last that he would simply exclude all these dirty languages ​​from our alliance. All who raised the revolution against Mittani, you are moral freaks! Get the gently caress out of our coalition and don't destroy it. Mittani spent 12 years of his life for us to have the best possible coalition. And you freaks destroy everything that I love in this game! Once again. All those who are against Mittani, just go gently caress yourself!

The benefit of stepping down is that you get to have the last word, and those last words may as well be obvious outright denials of everything that you'll hopefully never have to revisit.

hey fnln

why did you include irrelevant poo poo about mittani smoking weed and talking about UFOs in the midst of these damning chatlogs you posted four lines at a time as though those lines were also damning? it's distracting and easily spun as "look at somethingawful moralizing about stupid poo poo"

"My people, I'm afraid that the sheer amount of smears being flung my way across the galaxy are simply too much to handle at a personal level. The fact that my divorce, the loss of my dog, and a terrible number other of outright lies and falsehoods have been heaped on top of each other has resulted in me becoming simply too radioactive to continue leading Goonswarm without my presence being a net negative for the wider tribe.

The accusations that I am aware of are unsubstantiated falsehoods, and I did not sign up to be the scapegoat for the entire galaxy. You deserve better in leadership than having to continually be confronted with MITTANI MAN BAD day in, day out; I, and my partner, deserve better than to wake each day to find some new horrific slander being levelled against me. The only honorable thing to do is exit in an orderly fashion. I have transferred shares to Xttz and will be making TheAdj Interim CEO of Goonwaffe.

A challenge of this position - sitting in the Big Chair - is that the entire rest of Eve Online feels that they can, without boundaries, restraint, or evidence, fling all kinds of poo poo at the leader of GSF. I do not envy my successor, but hope that my exit will clear the way towards a better future.

It has been a tremendous honor to serve you these past 12 years as CEO. We have, together, built the greatest and most interesting space empire in the history of the internet, and then we have beaten the entirety of the rest of the game with it in the greatest war in the history of the internet. Your successes, your friendships, your community, and the bonds we have formed with one another through all of the madness that is Eve Online will be memories I will keep forever.

As I transfer roles and hand assets over, the current team will continue stabilizing the organization. They have been hard at work and information and announcements will be coming. Please bear with them as they have been trying to both build new systems and improve processes, while managing a very challenging and complex situation. Please be gentle with them.

As for me, I am going to touch some grass and smoke some weed. It's been an honor and a privilege~

I'm leaning this way too. He wouldn't just leave, because the voices asking him to leave were Delta Sqad, us original goons and some dorks on reddit. We're a tiny minority. *Someone* high up, though not Innominate, must have said "dude, this looks bad, you have to get gone, and get gone loving now. This isn't something you can ping your way out of. THE MONEY IS AT STAKE"

It's right out of the playbook. He's not as bad brained as everyone thinks. He knows when the battle is lost, so now he will to try step back into the background in order to stabilize the organization and continue using it to funnel people into those income streams.

Let's see if this move pays off for known sexual predator and suspected pedophile Alexander "The Mittani" Gianturco. :nsa:

That depends how successfully he's able to dissociate from his Mittani brand and transition into a background business type, which he very well could do.
