GM IceCream explicitly stated I am not to release any communications to the public, regardless of that statement.
Then do not release the interaction between the two of you. Nothing said there is worth a ban.

That aside, did anyone find out where CCP posted that? Because I am so certain that I have read all those new rules somewhere but it's driving me up the walls as I can't remember where. I even went to watch the entire Fanfest presentation but it's not in there... if I google, I just get tons and tons of reddit posts but none really about those new rules.

It was on fire when I got here
I was in the old-school Holesquad when it was Schned's project, back then it was more about profits then content. Eventually we were evicted, think the group was called Ragnarok or something. When i wasn't paying attention Dod rebooted the squad and i ran into them one day when i was loving around lowsec. Instantly signed up and had good times all around, and i stayed with them to the end. He helped shape Holesquad into the legend it's known for today. I've also flown with Vilgan's group and can say they are a pretty great bunch of nerds, though i've lost touch as life picked up. Though i haven't had time for the wormhole lifestyle, i hope they are still doing their thing and thriving.

Wormholes are a 10/10 experience and you have never truly internet spaceshiped until you've been in and out of other peoples holes for a living.

I'm from the same era and I don't think we were ever really saw ourselves as 'bogeymen'. We were part of a major power bloc so obviously dangerous on the level of grand strategy, and we had small groups that liked to travel the galaxy being fuckers, but PL was definitely the thing that went bump in the night for capital pilots.

Our understanding was that we were cultural outsiders to the game who deliberately antagonized the natives, though that was more to do with highsec carebears and the E-Bushido types, and even then only really at the level of random line-members interacting. Politically we staked our identity on keeping our promises and respecting our commitments to their allies, even if we talked poo poo about their posting.

If I was legally prohibited from releasing chatlogs of GM correspondence, I would simply enlist some of my gooniest allies to perform a dramatic reading in like a radio play style over discord and claim that the recording is a transformative work that adds enough creative expression so that the original prohibition doesn't apply anymore because of fair use reasons, and then immediately get banned.

I suspect the other gankers need to have a word with Safety. for ruining it for the rest of you.


Maybe a month ago someone on reddit pulled up some KBs and they have been collecting huge numbers of kills in the newbie starter systems. It's all going to have been can baiting and shooting each other to get the tags coupled with "well actually that character is a week old so we can now" justification. CCP have always been traditionally unwilling to ban groups over 20 players big, so this is the natural alternative.

Ganking noobs in beginner sys is about as lame as ganking outside Jita 4-4 all day.

Highsec ganking has always existed at the very edge of what's "acceptable" in Eve Online. For years, possibly decades, that line is constantly shifting, either by game mechanics changes or from GM/dev fiat or whatever. If one is highsec ganking and not amenable to repositioning themselves back behind the line as it fluctuates, they're gonna have a bad time. Whether or not you agree with whatever change is happening, the fact is that it WILL change, no matter what.

CCP didn't mind seeing Burn Jita roll around once a year.

Maybe thought of it as 'beneficial advertisement'.

They should try imposing harsher in game penalties for ganking in highsec if they want to deter it.

I doubt they want to deter it, they just want something to point to in the TOS when they ban someone who is generating bad PR for the game/company.

I mean, it is kinda crazy in TYOOL 2022 that a 30,000 member alliance could decide to drive someone out of the game, or worse, through targeted harassment and CCP couldn’t technically do anything about it.

If I fly a rare ship on autopilot across a tour of highsec, will the ganker who inevitably blows up my ship be banned?

I was in SOUND when they moved into w land and there was a lot of trying to convince themselves that we weren't Hard Knocks pets. They had this one guy that also had a character in HK and only very really hopped on his SOUND character when HK needed something.

Good times.

i'm not sure if this was meant to be a joke, but in case it's not, do you think if ccp thought someone crossed a line but couldn't pinpoint the exact rule that was broken they would sit at their cubicles shaking their fists with impotent rage?

they've always had the right to ban anyone for any reason. the rules they publish are a courtesy to let you know what they don't want you doing, but are no guarantee of anything.

One of the other things that surprised me when I came back was just how much line members in GSF cared about their killboards and 'efficiency'.

It was just... strange to see the 'our ships are ammo' not shutting up ever about 'the isk war'.
