There are lessons to be learned here. When I was young I swore a lot, and drank profusely. At the workplace in the mid 1970GÇÖs it was expected that you went to the club immediately after work to drink. By the mid 80GÇÖs the same workplace swung 180 degrees and frowned upon alcohol use. And so it remains to this day. In the United States, if the host serves or allows to be served alcohol, the host is potentially responsible for damages to persons or property as a result. Many businesses large and small forbid alcohol on their property. If the Alliance Panel (which was embarrassing to watch from start to finish) wishes to continue, let them have their own venue separate and apart from Fanfest or any other CCP sponsored activity. Let them provide their own logistics. They can have all the GÇ£jager bombsGÇ¥ they want, swear, hoot and holler, interrupt each other and harass and bully others as well as each other to their hearts content. A wizard hat...omg...grow up for godGÇÖs sake. And CCP should grow up too. This is for you CCP, a Wiki post from searching profanity. GÇ£GÇ£... from Ben Wilmott (Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development): "Employers can ensure professional language in the workplace by having a well drafted policy on bullying and harassment that emphasises how bad language has potential to amount to harassment or bullying."GÇ¥ In closing, you can be funny without being vulgar. And no, you should not warn people about GÇ£adult languageGÇ¥ CCP, you should warn people about childish language. -á-áad astra per aspera |

You clearly have no idea what these conventions are for, and have obviously never been to one. Alchohol flows like the Nile at these things because THEY. ARE. PARTIES. "A man with a drone-boat has nothing but time on his hands." |

No. Alliance Panel wouldn't be Alliance Panel without alcohol and CCPs support. It would be lame as ****. While I agree that there must be a set of boundries (no outing of depressed people, for example) I don't think not having alcohol would improve the event. |

While I thank you for sharing your point of view, apparently there are countries and companies in the world that do not follow the guideline on these matters that are common in your particular culture.
Perhaps you should rethink trying to tell them how they should think. When I check troll in the dictionary, it has a photo shopped picture of you standing somewhere in the vicinity of a point.

The purpose of the Alliance Panel is for the alliance leaders to get drunk together and **** on each other for pure lulz. It has been this way and will be this way...
If you can't handle that, don't participate. Easily solved. ...Can't. Tell. If ...Troll? Or Serious.... |

"Foul" language while watching fanfest from my HQ of **** did not bother me. Watching Michael Bolton III confirm he is an asshat did not bother me. The Mittani showing his true colors did not surprise me.
Seeing your post basically saying that it is CCPs responsibility to further police it players bothers me. Beyond the 30 day vacation for The Mittani no further action should be taken. The tears of the goons are the reward for the rest of us that have watched this unfold.
Rules = learn to stay within the limits, and if you are in the habit of getting too drunk to stay within them, learn a modicum of moderation. I am not saying "don't drink", I am saying don't drink beyond your limits to police yourself or someone else will do it for you and the results are YOUR fault, not the fault of those that have to rein you in.

Also, for all the melvins sitting at home watching a party on TV going 'NYEEEEH! They're DRUNK! That's not PROFESSIONAL!' I feel obligated to remind you that they aren't professionals. The Alliance panel is a bunch of dudes who are good a a videogame talking to other people who are marginally less good at a video game while they're on vacation in Iceland.

It's not about the CSM guys, they are what they are --it's about CCP's professionalism. Let alone the fact that it's pretty sad to see grown men acting like teenage kids after having their first drink, this game still has PEGI rating 12+, ESRB T, and for as long as it stays there scenes and speeches like those we all had 'pleasure' to see on last Fanfest are not something that this company can tolerate in future.
CSM guys are, of course, free to gather on their own in some local pub and do whatever they like. But without formal involvement of CCP. |

I wasn't aware that the celebration was all about professionalism.
CCP has an image that they like to portray, and it has little to do with being a politically correct corporate entity. Granted, even they have limits, but the hard drinking, rotten shark eating, convention breaking, radical Vilking image is EXACTLY how they want to come across to the rest of the gaming community.
It works for them, and has brought them great success.
If I'm not mistaken, the ratings system has nothing to do with gaming conventions. When I check troll in the dictionary, it has a photo shopped picture of you standing somewhere in the vicinity of a point.

Thank you Ranger 1. I understand cultural and legal differences, am retired from the international legal field. The one thing I hate most about American policies is that they push their political agenda upon recipients of aid. I only gave a sample of one view...possibly not the correct view...not intended to be the only view. -á-áad astra per aspera |

Alliance Panel should had include naked dancers to complement the alcohol & profanity to seal the deal... Just like its not a party until there's a fight, something breaks & the COPs are called!!! And Caesar's spirit, raging for revenge, With Ate by his side come hot from hell, Shall in these confines with a monarch's voice Cry "Havoc!" and let slip the dogs of war,That this foul deed... -á |

Hmm the change really didn't happen in till early 90's. You must have really been working for the worng companies if they were upset in the 80's let alone the 70's.
And getting called a soccer mom would be compliment if you were drinking in the 70's.
Sorry but I remember what I was like at that age and can't say one word about the drinking.
