Until after a PC with GAM against Red.0men, we (the NF ringers) get pulled into a chat with someone who says they are CCP Admin and will be taking action against us because we "sabotaged" them... the details were weird and changing a lot, but he said we AWOXed them (LOL!!!! sorry, but NF really doesn't need to AWOX Red.0men...). Anyways... CCP, if he is a real dev, or not, whatever, here is his deets:

Player Name: xX-KNIGHT-OF-AVALON-Xx xX-DRAGON-Xx
PSN: xXSEVENTHxSONXx

He represented himself as a CCP Admin and was saying he was going to get "Brenda", a CCP employee, to take action against our accounts.

Also, apparently, he is a creepy stalker for J0lly.R0ger

That is all.

Now that's pretty funny

you had to be there..
video coming soon.

Jeeez, don't post a freaggin video man... Should be trying to get him to understand what AWOXing is

A) Sounds to me like someone that doesn't understand New Eden.

B) No CCP worker who had any attachment to their job would out themselves on a player account.

C) Surely it has to be some sort of major infraction to go around claiming to be a CCP employee.

D) Perhaps this was a really good troll?

@Aeon. Excellent description of the events.

@Anon. Please post the video

@Anon. Please post the video

Should have snap shot it bro. CCP is quick to ban peeps who pretend to represent the staff.

I don't think the dude needs to be banned, I just think he needs to be educated on AWOXing and why it is legal in-game mechanics.

Oh man.

I missed this piece of gold???

I'd like to see the video of the pc as well. Wonder if his side was sabotaged, then i'd certainly like to know who set him off.

What is "AWOXing" ?

It is essentially when someone in your corporation/alliance/team betrays you and turns the war/battle/skirmish in the enemy's favor. Traditionally, it is on a corporate level with assets such as ISK and what not, such as when a director turn-coats and takes the entire corp wallet for themselves or a different corporation.

However, in this case, a member of their team had turn-coated and was killing his own team-mates.

Scrubs.

I have the upload ready to go, could have sworn I hit 'publish' before I walked out the door for work but I guess not. I'll post the video of the match when I get home.

Bear in mind that none of my PC videos have comms recorded so you'll only see the battle as it progresses but there was an instance of irrefutable friendly fire involving a Large Blaster Turret laying -the smack down- on a Sica on their team. We were perplexed as to why there was a Sica in PC but even more perplexed to see the enemy lighting it up with us >_>;;;;

There's lot of people who pass themselves off as tankers. I used to rage when we made room for guy to tank in a pc and watch him use militia tanks.

There was also the time where a guy swore up and down he was an expert ads pilot. Guy lost 5 dropships in a row calling it in right under their forge gunners. On impact ridge. On a red line where 3/4 of it is out of enemy range, even on the tower.

By the time I had dropped being a logi to take the fight to the air it was already too late.

As a group, we decided the audio should be withheld as it would be to personal... maybe one day

It's a possibility that he is actually a CCP worker because if you don't remember Rattati said that they had their own personal accounts hat they play on so you don't know if you've ever been in battle with them

Good guy Amadi lol

Educated hmm?

Maybe someone should hook me up with some details. I've got plenty of alts and I'm sure it's easy to gain this guys' trust.

He was not a smart person. Like c'mon, he was crying over a PC that he says was sabotaged.

I left with one final request and that was to get him to make a post here on the general discussions forum and take it up with the community. Basically throwing him to the fire but... Yanno, I couldn't think of a better way for it to be explained.

So, I dunno. I can't think of a better way to explain AWOXing. I'm amused, greatly, but I'm extremely disheartened and actually somewhat sad that I couldn't get him to understand

Here's the PC video. Finally found it. Accidentally uploaded it to the wrong youtube account.

https://youtu.be/Bb8-8rYEPzA

Watching the video, the AWOX'ing is real, but imo, they earned it:

1) They took our client's last district
2) The AWOX'er was accepted to their corp 20 minutes prior to the PC
3) NF had NOTHING to do with it, but other, major corps did
4) None of us at the time knew what was going on, but we sure did laugh at the blaster turret blowing up their own tank (we figured as punishment for calling in a sica; the coms at this point would have made that abundantly clear)
5) The person who stated that they were a CCP employee/admin (he corrected me when I asked him if he was an employee and yelled 'ADMIN!!!!!!!' at me... soo... yea...) vouched for the guy who ended up AWOX'ing them and said he was a great player, and even benched someone for them
6) This is hilarious

Let this be a lesson... don't invite a random person into your corp 20 minutes before a PC and then field them... especially when so many corps hate your own.

GG guys... GG

I still find it hilarious that an "admin" threatened to take action against a corp for doing something that is perfectly legal to do in-game.

Allow me to explain this situation as best I can because... Gah... It is so difficult to do so in short...

Ring for PC match, go in, battle-it-out, flip the district.

Next thing I know I hear over channel, "somethingsomethingsomething says he's talking to a CCP Admin about the match". Immediately I get curious and I go to investigate, wondering what happened. I chime into the channel that this convo is going down in and I'm hearing laughter, think maybe I got the wrong channel. Here's the paraphrased version of the last.... (checks) forty-five minutes or so.

Basically the player who was part of the defending corp lost the district and at this point was either saying that they themselves were a "CCP Admin" and or knew someone who was (named Brenda? Glenda? I dunno) and they had made a report because of a 'sabotaged match'. Now, there's a lot of craziness on comms and laughter going on because this is (arguably) kinda crazy - a CCP admin playing in PC who just lost a district and is now openly discussing the state of a report with the winning team? I know, nuts. I stuck with it though, just sat and listened calmly.

Guy starts saying something about how if we re-attacked the district (which we did) that we'd see a (brace for it) ONE YEAR TIMER pending an investigation. Whatever, I mute my mic, laugh a bit, and then go back to trying to take this seriously. Eventually he moves on and says that "the district will be returned to (CORPORATION NAME) within 24 hours and you guys are probably going to lose all the money you earned, I don't know, but I want you to understand that sirs". Alright. Fair enough. Time for me to chime in (being the only sane/calm one in the channel at this point, surprising, I know).

I ask him to describe how the match was 'sabotaged', expecting to hear something about the PC lag or the usual tidbits of information. I wasn't prepared to hear that one of his guys joined the battle and.... started killing friendlies and throwing themselves at our guns. He was basically being AWOXed. He freaks out a bit and starts to explain that it was "against the rules and regulations". Everyone is laughing because we know that this is Dust 514 and Eve Online where, well, that's just what happens.

I stifle my laughter and tell him to "do me a favor and press L1, scroll down to 'Help' and press 'x' over 'Legal'" (trying to get him to read the EULA). It takes a while but eventually I get him there and I tell him to scroll down to '6.Conduct' and read through and that he didn't have to read it allowed but just to read it. Whether or not he did, I have no idea, because at this point he went right back to the "we were sabotaged" story. I explain that I understood (full and well) and then begin to describe the difference between scams and exploits per the official article about it.

Annnnnd it did nothing. I ask him if he's ever heard of the term 'AWOXing' and he says that he has. I think of this as a glimmer of hope and before I can even say anything someone in the channel says, "What does it mean?! What does it mean!" and he explained it verbatim. But before I can try to elaborate on how this was 100% within the game rules he went right back to the sabotage this story.

So at this point I'm at a loss because I legitimately -DO NOT KNOW- how to explain this in a way that the guy can understand. He starts to say that he reported it to CCP and that he already had a response. I ask if it was the 'automated response' that is generated whenever the report is sent and he says yes.... before immediately going right back to the 'sabotage' story. At this point I just had to leave because I'm desperately trying to keep everyone calm and to prevent them from laughing and exacerbating the situation (I failed. Miserably.)

I left with one final request and that was to get him to make a post here on the general discussions forum and take it up with the community. Basically throwing him to the fire but... Yanno, I couldn't think of a better way for it to be explained.
