https://forums.eveonline.com/t/discussion-community-safety-in-eve-online/370833 And the comments thread there is predictably bad, with plenty of trolls and worse. Arrendis and Xttz are goodposting in there, but the rest is just noise. I guess CCP is actually responding to the crap that's happened though.

Well it was originally part owned by the richest man from Iceland who was up to his neck laundering and funding the Russian Mafia. So I guess they've moved down in the world.

Just to back up what was said about Prencleeve, the kid was hurting himself and a few people talked about it and balanced the "contacting IRL is icky and it'll suck for him to have someone tell his gran" against "it'll suck more when his gran works out he's spending hundreds of pounds of her money and he keeps painting a huge target on himself for far worse people in GSF and Eve". It was a genuine attempt at an intervention from a place of "poor, dumb kid" and whatever Blawrf said seems to have put the kid on a better track (and before copies of his videos became wider meme material he'd have to live with his whole life). Good grief he was phenomenally annoying, though. I'm glad he seems to have changed after leaving Eve behind. It seems to be a theme.

learnincurve posted:Yeh so having has friends in multiple alliances and corps going as far back as Mo0, BoB, MC, -LV- I’m 100% sure that particular behaviour is limited to goons. Like holy poo poo, ok pirates did cruel stuff when ransoming ships in character and people would get spie on team speak/corps/forums, but the point was to sit there quietly and take notes. All this gathering evidence for blackmail in game and real life just isn’t normal. It’s easy to rationalize almost any behavior (I’m speaking more along the lines of interacting with other alliances vs stunting on a kid) when you’re the underdog and you have all these other organizations telling you that they’re going to control your gameplay, and then having gameplay mechanics stacked against you. From jump, goons were seriously disadvantaged, and when you’re disadvantaged just act like a sociopath. It worked, we won, bob and kenzoku were annihilated. Also hi fnln you were shooting goons on the s-u undock the day I started playing and PMed me and told me not to talk in local or I’d get a fine I always remember that about you even if I do sometimes confuse you with dungar.

All this gathering evidence for blackmail in game and real life just isn’t normal. Let me be the first to tell you- it wasn't 100% limited to anyone. Just because you didn't know it was happening, doesn't mean it wasn't happening.

Raged posted:Whatever happened to Kugu? Last I heard (and this was while the site was still running) Kugu wanted to take the site in a direction where it wasn't just about EVE Online and none of the site admins had the skills to do that nor did Kugu himself. That's kinda when I realized the site was gonna be dying but I don't know what eventually killed it because I resigned from working for the site before then. Kugu himself seems to be doing fine. He's still running businesses and I think he had a TV show about him for a season or two in some European country. I haven't talked to him for chit-chat in years though. GOOD TIMES ON METH posted:That's around the time Alex or Vio told me they looked up my Facebook page during some War Room argument about taking an MMO too seriously. Very healthy environment They looked up my OK Cupid account because they thought I was a spy but surprise dumbasses I didn't list anything about EVE Online or my spy activities in it on my dating profile. I think they were just trying to intimidate me with "it's easy to find out who you are" type nonsense but by that point I'd already been paid by Kugu in the form of a 30" monitor that he sent me despite me never giving him my name or mailing address.

aioli is just mayo posted:From jump, goons were seriously disadvantaged, and when you’re disadvantaged just act like a sociopath. We didn't act like sociopaths in Echoes, to the point that part of the reason Gooseflock got founded was because people didn't like how the original Echoes Goonswarm CEO did things. True though, we might have avoided it due to past experience teaching the founders how high-pressure MMO guilds suck insane amounts of poo poo.
