EVE Online SM Council Chairman to Resign After Public Mockery of Suicidal Player at Fanfest

[Tas]

Well to be honest, mittens may be intelligent, but only a real idiot does what he did. Shows he cant control himself.

[cyclobs]

well being a leader of over 8k idiots they're bound to influence you eventually

hehe so true.

Some people have the problem of simply not being able to keep their mouths shut. What sort of person thinks it is okay to mock someone who is suicidal? and that it would have no ramifications?

Probably someone so far up their own $^&# they've lost sight of the real picture a good while ago. MMO's really can be a wankers paradise can't they? Doesn't help when you have bottom feeders enabling such behaviour though.

Yeah this really. Imagine it was someone you were related to. I'd want to knock his block off.

So we just had an SoTG. Tl;dr Burn them all~

Anyone watched South Park lately?
Cash for Gold?
Can anyone say anything now days without someone getting their knickers in the proverbial knot or needing a box of kleenex.

Anyone who thinks this is serious "go kill yourself"

Really..

do it now....

The EVE community is one of the more hostile at times so I don't see it as an issue myself it's just more of the same. The question is, is this guy suicide because he plays EVE online

[mausti]

It's not like he threatened the guy or anything. It's EVE online anyway, so if you can't handle the heat get out of the kitchen.

And LOL, 'suicidal'?

There's two types of people who are 'suicidal': dead people, and people who are depressed and want sympathy. Since this 'victim' isn't dead he's just a whinger trolling for sympathy.

I assume your trying to fish for a reaction, because even a westy isn't so stupid as to believe such a moronic statement.You obviously have no inkling of what your talkin about but anyway....

As to other posts, EVE is actually one of the more intelligent player bases, you can get discussions about Greek philosophers, religion politics an war while raging at the guy next door to ya for killing you... All at once .
I quit 0.0 life over a year ago an I gotta say NPC corp life is so much more fun.

[Kaimahi]

He should be banned from the game plain and simple. Mausti your obviously a troll, young, an idiot or a little of column A,B or C together.

[Aeolus_C]

Still haven't seen any evidence the guy is actually suicidal.

Words on the internet.

[Drakand]

does there have to be evidence? I would say that if anyone indicates suicidal thoughts, encouraging them to follow those is an irresponsible thing to do!

You don't wait for evidence before choosing not to push someone unless you feel like being responsible if the suicidal thoughts were valid.

If someone is indicating concerns about suicide, there are most likely other issues anyway that this person is trying to get attention to gain help with regardless.

[Angeredsoul]

meh, charles darwin is turning in his grave right now.

[Denzil]

Eh, he was drunk and said something stupid - manned up after the fact and apologised. He's hardly the most evil person alive because of that lol.
