Or you can read a realistic assessment of what happened:
GNN Article on Battle (With the footage of the fight)
Final Update
Seriously don't understand the point in overtly making up a story when there already is a story to tell. FYI, for those reading, this is the account Grezkev setup for me (Olivia) to use on the forums and in-game. Grez will prolly be mad at me for posting this but whatever....
I don't usually get into this GNN v Dusters crap (because, let's face it, it's stupid....hell they still use OUR name but whatever)...this however is just beyond my ability to fully comprehend.
The battle was waged on Ashged III. It was not in space. The battle was a corporation battle between PRO and PFBH, agreed through the corporate purchase system. It was not a random interception.
What's the point of changing the story, when a story already exists? What's the point of trying to make up drama when there already exists a good deal of drama? At this point I have to call in the definition of the word "news":
The Dictionary wrote:news
/n(y)o-Poz/
Noun
1) Newly received or noteworthy information, esp. about recent or important events.
2) A broadcast or published report of news.
In this context, I don't see how making up an event and reporting on the generalities of an ACTUAL event somehow breakdown into the concept of "news". This is the issue the REAL GNN has had with Dusters for years, especially back in the MAG days....changing reports (back then it was our reports) around to fit some sort of "general storyline" that Dusters made up. Heads up Dusters: CCP Makes the story, not you. The Community makes the drama and the development...not you.
Sorry, didn't mean to start drama and I know we'll hear more in responses about this....but I just felt the need to say something. The truth is available for anyone who takes the time to read it, and the MAG community all know it as well. Our posts are still up! History of the GNN Corporation. |

ContraBanJoe argues that he was attempting to use the contract system to move money between two corporations. You even quote his public statement... Your article was just as guilty of sensationalising and misreporting the issue as Dusters Blog.
It was agreed through the corporate purchase system...meaning the system provided for the means of the contract purchase, unless you're accusing PFBH of hacking....lol. The contract was purchased legitimately and legally within the parameters of the game. That's what I meant by it was "agreed through the corporate purchase system." It may not have been agreed by the Party's as far as their intentions....but that's their problem.
Haven't you heard of the phrase "buyer beware"?
It's not sensationalizing, otherwise I wouldn't have put Joe's follow up statement (which you pointed out). People can toss around the meaning of what went on however much they want but those are the facts. Joe clarified what he did, but it was intercepted legally and withing the framework of the corporate purchasing system. |

Congratulations, butthead, you just missed the entire point of EvE Online with that sentence. You do understnad that the WHOLE ******* POINT of EvE is that they players make the story, not some lore wizards in the back. There are no quests that you do not make for yourself (sorta). The Battle For Caldari Prime? That's US writing the story. Yeah, we may not do all the details, but it's still our story. You just completely lost all credibility as a journalist for me. Eat **** and Die.
Me: Community makes the story, drama, development, not a single person/group
You: Players make the story.
lol. Cool Story "Bro"! Glad to see we see eye-to-eye. Be sure to tell yourself that.

But that's the thing, is that he can make the story. There is so much that goes on in EvE that CCP doesn't write about, that's why people like Dusters like to sensationalize things. Hell, CCP can work it into the story like "Early reports received conflicting intel, ranging from a raid in space to a heist". Nevertheless, don't be uptight about people making up their own story for events. We've all done it for some fiction that we've read/watched/whatever.
Well I guess you're right but that's not completely why I responded. Uptight about someone making their own story, not so much; oversensationalizing a corp battle that was just that---a corp battle......that's what I was partly uptight about. I mean, others in response to this thread, the facebook group, and the other various discussions on this issue have pointed out various faults with the story-type; ranging from why would ISK be travelling in cargo ships like this to why would this be considered closer to the EVE-side of things when it's Dust related.
I guess I just don't understand the need when all that happened is easy to understand. If Dusters would have had some drama story about the two Contracted parties (the organizations that setup the contracts) and the planet involved...all data which is listed in game and by the videos....then it would have been an amazing story. I try not to delve deep into that kind of fiction unless it's what people want.
But I see what you're saying and I realize that I guess I came off as a whiny *****. But whatever is "made up" should be done with consistency and a mind toward the community as a whole. Besides, there's so many different responses to all this its difficult to discern the worthwhile ones from the irrelevant ones. |
