I don't expect you to know this unless you've done coalition level diplo work, but diplomatic poo poo that's not a direct exec to exec conversation is usually weeks and months... not hours and days. So based on the killmail date to the AAD post date, my guess is that CD was very much in the "what the gently caress just happened, gather the facts" phase of things. Given that I've seen variations of this poo poo play out multiple times in my 11 years in illum, I'm going to say that a diplo or admin saw some leaders of Init in the "X Users are Reading this Topic" at the bottom of the thread, and shut that fucker down before some poo poo was said by random line member that caused some damage that couldn't be undone. Probably a smart move, given it wouldn't be the first time that some bill/globby/cryo/troll post actually managed to get under the skin of a space important person, hurt their ego, and complicated the hard work of resolving the problem. Pure speculation on my part, but I've been diplo adjacent long enough to know the playbook, and how autocrats act (cough wibla cough).

I've been out all week with one of those sinus infections that have so much pressure you've just got like tears nonstop. Didn't check anything eve-ish until late Thursday or Friday and saw the posts. So calling me an "authority" figure in this instance is a stretch. I have a lot of experience, but everything back to whenever I made that legal but lovely post is just me. Sometimes I've thought about adding a personal opinion disclaimer, but just like Dalael's thing is to copy and paste unattributed reddit posts to snag stupids for laughs, I guess mine is posting my opinions and people losing their minds because somehow I'm the alliance or coalition spokesman instead of just another distinguished poo poo-tier graduate of never not posting.

Good point. I used to like to watch the Sarah Huckabee press conferences to see whatever batshit excuse she would throw out there each week.

You spent half a billion on a skin for a ship that should be cloaked 95% of the time? Worth it for the disco, I guess.

You guys may not know this, but it is actually possible for people to not only enjoy eve, but also be normal people.

Just a thought, since it seems like some of you can't understand that not everyone who plays the funny spaceship game is a mittaniesque weirdo or xenuria the child molester.

There’s a ton of evidence contrary to this at the same time though

Like it may be possible but it’s maybe not normal for an Eve player to be a normal human being I think

Since there's been no post here about it.

Apparently, Init told a CD diplomat exactly what they were going to be doing to these citadels several months ago. That diplomat had no knowledge of citadel mechanics and didn't move it up the chain because they didn't think it was important.

The coalition is making rules against doing something like this in the future, and Init has stopped what they were doing and will unanchor the remaining citadels.

There may be some compensation for some people. Mention specifically are Ukrainians who literally haven't been able to log into the game due to the war.

please don't treat globby like a person, because he really isn't one. he has, through his intensely awful posting, proven that he has an innate need to dominate others and can only be coerced into civilized cooperative behavior if that cooperation comes at the expense of others. much like a wild animal, he can only imagine actions that benefit him in the immediacy. the lizard part of his brain overtakes that which makes the rest of us people. my advice, then, is to treat him the way you would treat a wild animal. you don't poke it with sticks, but rather let it be on its way or remove it from where you don't want it. good luck, goons
