Electus Matari Forums

While not personally affected by the forum wars on eve-o the last week, I still find it interesting to follow them.

I'm especially fascinated by all those pictures brought up. I collected some links I liked. Most (if not all) of the original links are deleted on eve-o, I'll post them here as documents of information warfare:


The Goon-"Threadnought". (from Goonswarm)




Dianabolic at home. (from Goonswarm I think)




The Red Telephone (from BoB)




Red Telephone V2 (from BoB)




The Batsignal (from BoB)




BoB-Keyboard (from BoB)




Goon-signature




Anti-Goon-signature




The future of Goonswarm (Words+MP3: Mawg, Banner: Wylker)

Where's that threadnaught adapted from, it looks badass.

Warhammer 40K: Battlefleet Gothic.

The ship appears to be one of these: http://us.games-workshop.com/games/bfg/h...bution.htm

Yup.

Wicked bit of photoshop.

Browsing another site, I found an Article covering the latest events in eve.

The problem:

Quote:The kingdom is in crisis. After pledging to treat its citizens equally, the government stands accused of unfairly favoring one powerful, well-connected political faction. Many citizens have taken to open dissent, even revolt, and some are threatening to emigrate permanently.

CCP's assessment:

Quote:“Perception is reality, and if a substantial part of our community feels like we are biased, whether it is true or not, it is true to them,” Hilmar Petursson, CCP’s chief executive, said in a telephone interview. “Eve Online is not a computer game. It is an emerging nation, and we have to address it like a nation being accused of corruption.

“A government can’t just keep saying, ‘We are not corrupt.’ No one will believe them. Instead you have to create transparency and robust institutions and oversight in order to maintain the confidence of the population.”

CCP's planned consequences:

Quote:So now CCP plans the radical step of opening itself up to independent oversight: nine player-overseers who will act as ombudsmen for the game’s subscribers. The company says it will hold the elections in the fall.

“I envision this council being made up of nine members selected by the players themselves, where you announce your candidacy, and if you win the election, they come here to Iceland, and they can look at every nook and cranny and get to see that we are here to run this company on a professional basis,” said Mr. Petursson, CCP’s chief executive. “They can see that we did not make this game to win it.”

Eve might become somewhat democratic. Looking forward for the things to come...

Lastly, a quote from one of the most (in)famous alliance leaders in eve:

Quote:“Our goal in Eve is to control all of 0.0 space, and when that’s done we’re going to take over the empire one by one and control the empire as well,” he said. (SirMolle would not reveal his real name but said that he is a 40-year-old manager for a heating and cooling company in Sweden.)
