If you would like to do further research regarding the charges of misconduct in EVE Online, I suggest try contacting the roleplaying groups either ingame or in their OOC forums. It is common knowledge within their circle that one of the second group of allegations is true, and has been known to be true prior to it actually being made public. You can ask them for the raw data and possibly chatlogs. However pro-CCP apologists trying to cover things up will continue to deny its truth or the reliability of the sources barring another confession which of course will not happen, but that does not change the fact the allegation was true.

Thank you, I will try talking with a few people who should be in the know, and see what I can find out. I find it disgusting that people still try to cover up the truth. On the other hand, we can only make a stand when we have actual proof, otherwise we play in the hands of the apologists, who will seize the chance to delete all the allegations, including the proven one - and then we'll have to start all over again. I am more than willing to start this over hundreds of times if necessary, but if possible, let's try to limit the energies we have to put into this, there are after all, many other battles worth fighting. -- Macondocontro (31 December 2007, 01:29pm CET)

Note that even among the RP groups you will find apologists so you may need to ask around. Do not underestimate the lengths to which the apologist side will go to in order to deny things. One even went so far as to claim the confession was a false one, done as a form of heroic self sacrifice to appease the masses, which of course is a ludicrous defense. The problem stems from the fact the accused end up being their own investigators and judges, and the Internal Affairs division coming off more as a way to rubber stamp and clear themselves instead of a genuinely fair independent investigative body.

I see you are another person who is fighting against the attempt to coverup CCP's misconduct and lies. CCP has responded the same in both sets of accusations by attempting to smear the whistleblower. In the first case, they first claimed he was lying but only later to admit CCP had known all along that there had been cheating. So they were found to be deliberately lying to cover up. The setting up of their "Internal Affairs" division is a joke considering the person in it is a CCP employee. All it serves is to be a rubber stamp: "Our employee says we're innocent on all counts so we must be innocent." It's no different really from their first response of "We're innocent because we say so." The fanboys on the main EVE page are basically denying anything short of a direct CCP confession as being 'unverified'. I know for a fact that the 2nd whistleblower was not part of some conspiracy to smear CCP and that earlier he had been praised as a model volunteer. Only when he blew the whistle (his accusations are true btw), did CCP suddenly change their tune and make up stories about how he had "always" been a troublemaker. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.76.0.130 (talk) 13:22, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
