It's actually that the guy was already high up in BoB and betrayed them.

Jesus. I don't even play this game and I've got a beard over it. Time to go outside. Five stars for that revelation. -1 for the unbearable nerd.

In your defense it's pretty amazing and it will probably end up being mentioned in a magazine article at some point.

Yes, needs "Jesus these nerds" tag.

Done and done.

Hey you lied

I was going to say the epitome of Eve Online players, but yours is more broad and therefore correct.

You forgot misogonyst, gun nut and cellar dweller. Lets get them all.

You are not alone.

I only do 1 player games so I don't know about these intrigues and personality clashes.

I don't play the game, but I read a summary. As stated above, Eve Online is a game that could be played with a cleverly written spread sheet and a couple of dice but is instead played through a rather nice looking space sim. The whole point is to band together and set up trading conglomerates. As these groups grow they acquire bigger ships, planets and other territory. One group, called Band of Brothers, got really, really big and equally arrogant about their ability to crush any other group if they felt like it. This arrogance rubbed one high up member the wrong way so through a series of circumstance he joined another big group: SomethingAwful's Goonswarm. When they realized who he was they hatched a plan where using his group admin powers he'd disband Band of Brothers. Once this happened their territory became open for conquest and since they could no longer work together as a group was easy pickings. Band of Brothers complained to the management that Goonswarm had somehow cheated, but the Eve people ruled that it was a legit action. Some nerds were happy and others were pissed off. I'm sure forums full of ranting ensued. The end.
