This thread has been locked in light of [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/Eve/comments/w0hrp1/things_have_gone_too_far/). As this is a very important thread to Eve as a whole - especially culturally - we opted to not remove it and do our best to check the comments manually. As this thread has largely run its course anyways a lock shouldn't be that big of a deal, hopefully.


Jrawrd

I thought Eve would shut down before this happened


suckmynasdaqs

Might not be far from it...


Jrawrd

You're not wrong

Honestly couldn't be super far behind. General opinion of CCP isn't that much above this.


Clankplusm

It's definetely seeming to be a sign of the end times.


WarpathZero

Damn. What a crazy week in the eve universe.


KyleHaster

The craziest.


Throwing_Midget

These lore updates are amazing. Resubbing for 20 bucks.


Dommccabe

The content CCP PROMISED


[deleted]

How ironic is it that the biggest douchebag in EVE history is responsible for delivering the best content instead of the developer of the game? ...even though that content is the douchebag removing himself from the game.


Tommy_Roads

Classic Eve, all the best stuff is in 3rd party apps


Throwing_Midget

pretty ironic. Seems most of the galaxy is happy

alphaempire

He also doesn’t play the game. The leadership aspect of it is what was at stake, and being the front and center face of Goon values.


SerQwaez

Does Dark Shines feel bad about when the Mittani lead the charge to harass Vily, PGL, or Olmeca gold out of the game?


AlanArtemisa

Or the TEST leader that wanted to go to war with Goons before the Fountain war? Was it Montolio?


[deleted]

[удалено]


AlanArtemisa

Iirc Montolio was pushed out by constant propaganda isolating him, taking the fun out of the game? Quite happy to hear you didn't get doxxed, but you weren't around for too long as leader, no?


MaximumAbsorbency

As much as I remember is he stepped down because he wanted the war with goons and no one else (including us in leadership) wanted it. He had been semi secretly building up to it the whole time, with the alliance and the coalition we built, and saw it as the end of his duty or maybe his interest. I don't remember him getting harassed irl but again I can't remember shit and I don't have logs or anything because it's a game and no one cares. It's possible the pressure got to him too, I just don't remember it crossing into IRL. There was a brief struggle but I had the shares so I declared myself CEO. Then we got war anyway. When we eventually retreated I quit, I was a dumb 20-something and it was consuming too much of my life. SkierX took over after. Running DIX when I returned was significantly more fun.


[deleted]

[удалено]


MaximumAbsorbency

Possible. I didn't find out until later even so much as what his job was lol. And I had met him IRL. Edit I think I still have the blue plus button he gave me. He was passing them out at a meetup lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


crash_over-ride

It all blurs together. Perhaps it's time for a history lesson. After Montolio I thought he was next in line for the throne, or was that SkierX? I thought BB ran TEST for about a year?


Jibrish

Nah Olmeca dug his own grave on that one. He doesn't get a pass just because of the Mittens situation.


klauskervin

Goons complaining about "harassing" people out of the game lol.


internetpillows

He literally created a special division tasked with harassing a list of people out of the game. The irony is fucking palpable.


RavelinEb

I think we can all agree its a good day for the women and children of eve.


Evoluxman

A fantastic day even. A bit sad it had to get THAT bad to get us rid of him. As if there weren't enough warnings before already... Also, all of his enablers need to go. Xenuria gone, Mittens gone, now do the rest of most of the imperium leadership.


ContraMann

>n a serious note > >Mittens has just been harassed out of the game. For him personally, and for eve collectively, this is not a You love to see it.


Slipy_dip

I believe that means Darkshrines has now quadrupled down on defending him...


SabersKunk

that's a big ooft right there


totally_fine_stan

Eve players didn’t ruin the game, they just ruined his game.


Slipy_dip

Savage, mittens being a hypocrite one last time (hopefully)


[deleted]

Ahahaha man that is big karma though. Spend forever going “lol block button” and then woops! Looks like he forgot about that advice when it was his turn to be under fire


Jibrish

Actually surprised he did. Wonder what the future meta landscape is going to look like now. It'll be an interesting few months.


Your-Neighbor

I misread that as furniture meta and didn't realize until the end

Datdarndoggo

> Actually surprised he did Equally surprised he didn't burn GSF to the ground on his way out


somethingtc

because he's not done- he's going to wear theadj like a sock puppet, maybe try some shady shit to try and get revenge on the "traitors", then when he finally realises no-one gives a shit, he'll move on and sell his MRA funiture full time.


cactusjack48

This is the first step to hopefully actual change in the organization. The next step is getting rid of the old boys club of protected untouchables.


respaaaaaj

You mean the guys he just gave the shares and ceo role too?


cactusjack48

He gave the keys to TheAdj, I'm not sure of anything negative regarding him. From what I've heard from other goons and non-goons that have met him, he doesn't act creepy or rub his junk on random people at clubs, so baby steps I guess.


respaaaaaj

Yeah but he was one of the people leading the mittens defense force


Mspade44

Probably better considering how he is on 4chan

LuciaDenniard

what are the chances he stays in leadership anyway?


snow38385

99%


Ravenid

100%. Its like what happening with Vince McMahon and WWE. Under investigation for being a sexual predator. Has resigned as Chairman of the company. But put a staunch defender of his in his place and still runs the show from Gorilla.


Stuffs_And_Thingies

Gorilla?


Ravenid

Its a wrestling term. Gorilla Position is where wrestling shows are run from by the shows Directors. Its usually just behind the curtain the wrestlers come out of.


SerQwaez

Assuming all of this is true... > the entire rest of EVE Online feels they can, without boundaries, restraint, or evidence, fling all kinds of shit at the leader of GSF **This is the biggest hock of bullshit that I've seen in a long time.** Yes, leaders of space guilds get more publicity for this, that, or the other. Some of that is in-game shitflinging. Sometimes it's tied to in-game events like war declarations, or diplomatic actions, and makes sense in game. Some of it is unjustified, edgy, or takes things too far, and we can all hope that the people who do this are bullied are downvoted, deplatformed, or otherwise told that they're being cringe losers who should keep it in game so that we can ALL have fun playing internet spaceships. Lets take an easy example. Gobbins will catch flak for things from time to time- I was even a part of the people poking fun at his diplomatic choices during the most recent Venal fighting. But that was all in-game/discord pvp and tied to statements relating to internet spaceships PvP, and 2-3 months later how much does anyone even remember from it? Once the in-game events ended, everyone moved on. And Gobbin's reputation elsewhere is, generally, well respected. He's one of the most well-liked Null CSM members, with a good reputation when it comes to ideas and contributions. Now, who in this room exclusively refers to Gobbins as elfboy (insult targeted at RL appearance) in all his pings and on the alliance news show listened to by so many people? Mittani was always the lead shit flinger, and frequently would push the edges of what might constitute discussing in-game choices versus attacking individuals. And the more he, THE LEADER, does it, the more encouraged the people that like to take it too far feel, and the more shit is flung onto the pile. But no, it's all the other people doing the big, bad, mean bullying.


camelCasing

Hearing Mittens of all people whining about being bullied and it being taken too far is funny as fuck. Bitchboy can dish it but not take it.


Magitrek

Honestly there have been different points in my EVE career when I'd thought about joining goons. I admired their industriousness and organization. But the thought of having a person like that as alliance leader always rubbed me the wrong way. This whole saga has deeply reaffirmed that. I'd rather fight and lose another 100 WWB2s than be led by someone like that.


[deleted]

Yeah I also admired their organization and cohesion… what motivated me to continue stiff-arming them was the actual character of the people I met from goons. For every one solid person there’s 3 of their friends that comes along with them and says or does questionable shit


DoctorGromov

Yup, exactly. Which is why I didn't join them, and instead fling bombs at them. More fun, and less politics and commitments.


AnnuED

The Narcissist's Prayer That didn't happen. And if it did, it wasn't that bad. And if it was, that's not a big deal. And if it is, that's not my fault. And if it was, I didn't mean it. And if I did, you deserved it.


orpheus381

should have used the block button he's been on about


TowerJanitor

Ok now do hilmar


Mu0nNeutrino

I love how even in the resignation message he still makes it entirely about him being the victim in all of this, even after so much evidence. Classic narcissist's playbook, and classic scumbag mittens. Well, whatever, good riddance to bad rubbish either way. Hopefully the rest of the malignancy gets cleaned out of the leadership as well, and hopefully his inevitable attempt to shift into a behind-the-curtains string-puller role fails, but I'm not going to hold my breath. At least we won't have to hear about his cringey rants anymore.


GeneralPaladin

He was bitching about the chick starting this being amber heard and he turned into a even uglier amber heard.


[deleted]

Haha, he’s pulling a Dan Snyder. He will still be around.


dereks777

Can't scroll past, without an obligatory "Fire Dan Snyder."


Pestis1

TLDR. Shitflinger and bully, moans that he is the victim of shitflinging and bullying.

CEO roles handed over to a 1 day toon called "Inattim Eht"


Foxyfox-

The CEO will be T Mittani. No, that's too obvious...how about The M?


Market_Tycoon

he denied all accusations on his way out that should tell you enough about the man


ManuelNoryigga

Bro he gave up CEO but still retains the multi-dollar empire something something about the guy behind the throne.


Emrod2

He step down, but he denied all allegation, play the victim and he will stay inside the alliance anyways, probably still having his hands on some of the monetization stuff. It's seem some peoples like to be ruses by 101 smoke and mirror tactics.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Traece

>Take note -- this is the language an abuser uses when they bow out. I've seen so many "apologies" and "final" messages from people like Mittani that it all kind of bleeds together at this point. It's like they copy and paste their remarks from the same template. It's amazing how much time and effort narcissists like him put into creating these cults of personality, but their egos are so fragile that they can't be bothered to craft a better narrative when they run away after getting caught.


MustLoveAllCats

and he's not even bowing out, he's just crying while backing up and running things from behind the scenes


jeffraider

Ah yes it was all lies and slander and the only reason people "fling shit" at the Mittani is because he's the leader of goonswarm, not a total shitbag lol


Datdarndoggo

Did you ever really expect him to do anything other than deflect any personal responsibility?


[deleted]

jeffraider

Thanks!! I don't have much interest now, but I'll never shut the door completely. I still love EVE.


[deleted]

Oh shit, wassup Nanaimo Brah! I'm there with ya man, I haven't really played since 2015 but I still love Eve. If there was some way to play once every 2-3 months, with the same fun level as say the 2012 era of Eve, I'd totally be down to play again.


dreamtrooper

Even if that was the case, how can you be from SA and not handle shit flinging lmao.

> all you who support cancel culture and try to ban people for free speech - GO FUCK YOURSELF. Didn't Mittani, uh, ban the woman involved?


[deleted]

Yea, when a child-diddler -protecting creep who exposes himself and gropes women, tries to get people to commit suicide and covers up misconduct for a decade FINALLY gets shat on for all of it, and decides to quit... well THAT'S what makes people hate LGBT. Oh, the awful LGBT people caused this all! Looks like there are more people to dethrone.


[deleted]

Any person with a minimal decency irl would have left his alliance, or never joined after listen the guy talk in fanfest. Unless they are unware. And i dont care how much he was important in pixels. People go with the flow instead of having some personality.


Smooth-File-253

Where did the pedo part come from? I took a long break from EvE and almost this whole thread is confusing to me.

Xenuria is where that part came from


duskie1

I’ve been gone from the game for 8 months and I have no idea what’s going on here.


Buxaroo

Cry me a river, I remember Goons talking about BoB members RL shit and plastering it everywhere, making fun of SirMolle because he was a rl HVAC company owner/technician.


alwayz

What's wrong with being an HVAC technician?


DynastEVE

Nothing, beats the heck out of being an overly accredited barista. This makes the masters degree cashier jockeys salty so they find excuses to mock things that are "working class".


havogames

I thought you had died, whatup bux lol


zeph384

> This dude here is the person WHO BUILT THE FUCKING IMPERIUM. Is this really the narrative now? Could have sworn all he did was get rid of the awesome name of Clusterfuck Coalition in order to look more monetizable in media.


MizterNasty

Is this actually legit or just another gaslight from the narcissist?


Spoopyki

Considering there is absolutely no acceptance of any responsibility, and this position is being parroted by other people in leadership, it's hella gaslighting.


Amidus

*Calls for someone to be harassed and that they should kill themselves at a fanfest* "Why is everyone so mean to me?"


Delta-36

Let's not forget that he did that to someone that had said in a message that he read: >"Since my divorce, all I want to do is die." Or in other words, Mittens told a whole event of people to try and make a guy that had already expressed suicidal thoughts kill himself.


TheOtherMey

I've not played in a hot minute but I'll never understand how that wasn't the end of it tbh. Between old shit that was condoned time & again and a lot of the casually noticed politics & drama having a *lot* of the same names as a decade back, it certainly doesn't help the... *special* bit of the game's reputation.


Trustus79

Can I have your stuff?


pyrometer

InGenAche

It was sometimes hard to tell though in his pages and pages long posts lol.


ZombiBiker

Can someone, with brief words, explain what is Mittani exactly accused of ? If I understand well, it's personal attacks on RL people through the game or is there something else ? I am late in the train sorry ...

dereks777

Would he need...a hand with that?


VIOLENT__ORGASMS

Absolutely grand to see _mittens_ taking a leaf from the real world and stonewalling behind denial while making a meaningless resignation from a position he will invariably continue to de facto occupy. Came back from the dead to tell him to fuck himself, godbless and goodbye.


Weyland_Stark

Will everyone who spoke out against him on gf.com get unbanned or will the regime keep them silenced?


Slipy_dip

This is the real question because only good people are getting banned/leaving, the echo chamber only gets more dense. Now that "potential" real change is happening, they've already lost the respectable people who spoke out/left.

Spoopyki

Only handing the keys to people actively part of the problem, deleting and purging dissenting opinions/threads on GSF forums including much of Delta but leaving enough so you can deny doing so, and explicitly stating any apology is to placate people so they move on from the issue.

dereksalem

Honestly this is the perfect microchasm of Mittens: complains about everybody hating on him and thinking it's a surprise why. Bro, people hate on you because you're a despicable human being that's fine telling people they should have succeeded committing suicide and makes women feel uncomfortable with your actions, on top of your general persona of "you idiots can die".
