I literally just said that.

No, Brisc, you literally did not. You are only spreading hearsay and rumors, but you haven’t gone on the record with any specific information. Neither has CCP. Facts are stubborn things.

I am not spreading anything. You are insinuating, yet again, that there is more to this story than was already out there. Shines and Pando have confirmed what happened - they can do that, as they aren’t under an NDA and they have first hand knowledge. I am under an NDA and can’t speak about what CCP and I discussed. You refuse to accept that and continue your desperate attempts to smear me.

Stop.

Brisc - You are not Pando. You are not Shines. They do not know why YOU were banned. Only you and CCP really know what happened.

CCP has already said why I was banned. They believed I had shared NDA material with Pando and Shines. I don’t understand why you keep asking the same questions that were answered literally on the first day and acting like that’s not being responsive.

And you’re not going to get it. CCP doesn’t release information like that. The CSM can’t, because doing so would violate NDA.

So, ā€˜why won’t they confirm it?’: They signed a legal contract that says they won’t.

So, once more for the cheap seats:

Brisc Rubal is under NDA. He cannot tell you anything about why he was banned that CCP didn’t tell you, for another five years. Asking him to violate that NDA will not get you anywhere.

I’m sorry Brisc, there’s nothing in the CCP release about a Molok. That’s something Pando and Shines said, but it’s not mentioned in the CCP statement, nor in your statement.

Literally. Because NDA.

I believe you Brisc. I believe you signed an agreement not to discuss this. I believe CCP signed an agreement not to discuss this. Then they created this thread for us to discuss it, and the only thing I have to discuss is WHY neither you nor CCP wants to discuss this. Cuz if its just the Molok, I agree Brisc, doesn’t sound like a reason for a permanent ban. So why did they give you a permanent ban in the first place? Why didn’t they mention the Molok in any of their CCP statements? Maybe they made a mistake, or maybe they didn’t. Nobody knows, because nobody actually knows why you were banned.

…and people wonder why CSM members can burn out so quickly.

Why engage, Brisc? Let the people who legally can have their say and you go have a cold one.
Missing the fun of the CSM and dealing with the rest of the player population, yet?

Then why are you asking him to break that NDA?

He is not allowed to tell you anything CCP did not. All he can do is continue to point you at the CCP statement. So why do you keep asking if you know he cannot tell you?

I should stop having a glass of wine before bed.

And no, I’m not missing any of it.

I keep asking, because he keeps coming here and saying things like ā€œSomeone else said I was banned for this reasonā€¦ā€ Who is that someone else? If it’s not an official statement from CCP, or from Brisc, its just speculation. Why are we speculating about whether it was the Molok, when CCP or Brisc could say that it was the Molok. Maybe it wasn’t the Molok, maybe it was. Why are we speculating?

Here’s a draft statement CCP could use, ā€œWe thought Brisc told someone something about a Molok, and then they sold it. We were wrong. Our bad.ā€ If CCP wrote that, I’d be like oh ok. I can’t imagine what the harm would be in stating that, if that’s what happened. However, since Brisc and CCP aren’t actually saying that, and Brisc is literally saying he can’t say that, I wonder if maybe there’s another reason.

Meanwhile, this whole Molok story casts blame on a third party who (as far as I know) hasn’t made any kind of statement. So I should just assume that person was at fault? I mean, talk about rumor-mongering… Now, maybe it’s all true. It’s certainly plausible. All I’m saying is that we don’t actually have a statement from either Brisc or CCP which confirms this rumor. If I were Brisc, I’d want them to confirm the Molok narrative, because it doesn’t sound so bad. However, they haven’t, and neither has he.

Except CCP is not going to say that. CCP does not release information on player offenses. Full stop. They don’t do it. So Brisc can’t do it. Which means ā€˜[Person X says it was Y]’ is literally the closest he can come to telling you. It is a construction that allows him to point you to the accurate information without actually violating the NDA himself, because he’s not telling you, and he’s not confirming what’s being said, he’s just pointing out what someone else ā€˜says’.

I mean, holy hell, how are you this dense? It is literally ā€˜So, I’m not allowed to tell you what I saw, but Bob says he saw X.’

The harm would be that it would set a precedent of CCP revealing information about player offenses. No MMO company will tell you that. Just like CCP should not have said anything about what they thought he did. That was as much of a mistake as leaping to judgment.

Well, then you’re gonna keep wondering. I’ve listed up above what happened. CCP isn’t going to give you any information. Nobody on the CSM is allowed to. So that’s all you’re going to get. It doesn’t matter how many times you say ā€˜but what REALLY happened?’, you’re not going to get any new information, because CCP won’t say, the CSM can’t say, and you’ve already heard what really happened. And if this is starting to feel circular and repetitive… it is. And it’s gonna stay that way. So you go ahead and decide how many times you want to get told the same thing, and we’ll do the countdown on that, because I’ll just prep a boilerplate reponse and C&P it every single time.

Go watch the VoD of this past week’s meta show on INN’s twitch channel. Hy Wanto, penif’s alliance exec, confirms it all. There are logs out there from penif. They’re probably on /r/eve. Go do your own due diligence if you don’t believe it.

Did penif confirm it? I’m not going to assume this third party guy is at fault, based on the speculative rumor-mongering going on here. That wouldn’t be fair to penif, would it?

CCP should probably comment on this, and clarify to everyone what happened. I don’t think they are going to, and consequently there will always be speculation as to whether the Molok was even a concern.

I don’t know. I don’t know this penif guy, so unless I hear from him, I’m gonna assume he is innocent of the allegations against him. If this is starting to feel circular to you, well, that’s because it’s going to stay that way. That’s why this discussion thread serves no purpose, you are speculating that penif is the villian of this story, and I’m speculating that maybe you don’t know what you are talking about.

Everytime you say penif is at fault, I’m going to say ā€œWell, how come neither penif nor CCP has made a statement to confirm that narrative?ā€

CCP is not going to confirm or deny anything. CCP is not going to release information on player offenses. CCP does not release information on player offenses.

The logs are penif telling people. So go do your due diligence. I’m not speculating on anything. You want to know? Go do the legwork yourself, like the rest of us did.

Logs? I don’t have access to CCP’s server files. I can’t tell if a log is real or fake, or who made it. The only verifiable information would be from either CCP or penif, so unless I hear from one of them that penif is at fault, I am going to assume that he is innocent. You are simply spreading rumors against the good name of penif.

And you are simply being willfully dense. Go re-read my original statement about ā€˜what happened’. See what kind of logs they were. These are not rumors. But you go ahead and keep on grasping at straws to gin up more nonsense.

Yep, I read what you said. Penif is a ā€œcolossal dickā€ and he is to blame. You sound like a very credible objective source of information. The magic logs, that even you can’t link, will surely prove that you are correct.
