Beware of the Ban Hammer!

Lanissum is 1 year and 1 day old today. I fondly remember my earlier days of naivety...
My first lost ship was a Thorax, after I emptied a can outside a Dodixie station. Such days are long gong... Today, I fly HAC's, and my much vaunted Vexor of do0m with a confirmed 19 kills to it's name.

During a recent scam-a-thon, I ran into a particularly funny character.
The chat log, edited for brevity, can be found below.

Bold are particularly interesting parts, Italics are parts where a 'CCP' Employee is talking.

*cracks up* Icer Xx is the dumbass who's been hanging about outside our station losing Stabber Navy Issues and smacking terribly in Local.

I'm pretty certain impersonating a CCP employee is a bannable offense...

Flashfresh said...

It's against the EULA to impersonate a CCP employee.

Lanissum said...

It is indeed, I already petitioned him :)

Btw, what system would your station be at, Shae?

Vasavia said...

This. This right here. Pure Awesome.

Yargok said...

Pure awesome indeed.

I would love the irony of the Icer dude getting banned himself.
