The Tale of EVE Online’s Most Infamous Scammer

- Welcome back everyone, today's story is The Tale of Eve Onlines Most Infamous Scammer - Erotica 1. Erotica 1 was a big time isk doubler, a type of scammer, located mostly in the Jita or Amarr region of New Eden. There he would trick people into sending him their isk or in-game currency with the promise of doubling it. He would do this a few times, until the scamee sent him a number big enough that he was satisfied with cutting and running. Now, this is nothing special, but what made Erotica 1 infamous was his use of what he called, the Bonus Room. Here, Erotica would challenge people to quintuple their earnings by completing various challenges, but not before making them sign over everything they had to him. He would then, with his friends humiliate and torment people until they eventually quit or even snapped. He would record these sessions and post them online afterwards to make fun of the people he was stealing from. Eventually, EVE blogger and CSM member Ripard Teg, known on the blog as Jester, would write a long post about Erotica's behavior. The community of EVE Online would split into two groups, this for and against Erotica's behavior. Eventually, CCP would permanently ban Erotica 1, a ban which still stands to this day. Supported mostly by the CODE, a group of hi-sec griefers whom he had donated billions of isk to, Erotica 1 worked to whine to various media groups unsuccessfully.
Thanks for watching!

Did Erotica go too far or did he just play the game how its meant to be played?
I think leaving scams to in-game would've been alright, but turning it into the stuff you described, well then it's pretty much not even in the game anymore, so yeah too far.
@@ClownyCobalt I agree. Theres tons of scammers in game who have no issues. He took it way too far.
Erotica did nothing wrong. It's just a videogame.
Certain elements get repeated over and over because people assume everything they read on internet is true. There is more nuance regarding this video and key elements of the story as retold are false, but close. But, the ways in which the inaccuracies are presented seem minor but are KEY
@@davinci315 look on the bright side. You were the best troll in a game that's about trolling.
As someone who has played since 2004 I totally understand that Eve is completely ruthless. Sometimes people get fucked over and I've been on both ends of that stick but I don't think I could ever bring myself to attempt to break another human being down like that. I get staying within the limits of the game but that is way, way too far. Inhumane and cruel.
It genuinely says something when even Goonswarm is like... Bro you need to chill that's too much
Yep, my man just took it too far. Major creep
thats goon meta game guys not real life
CCP did the right thing. I played EVE and there is a scamming and than there is what Erotica1 did for their own twisted amusement. Scamming people of out ISK, ships, whatever its fine, have a few laughs, or rage along the way sure its part of the game, Taking people to teamspeak or out of EVE so you can abuse them for hours and that's the only reason? Ban well deserved.
I agree 100%. In good fun, its all ok. They took it way too far!
This video and some other claims are way over the top fiction copied from “jester” blog.
Just wanted to let you know that this video is really good
Thank you!
Does anyone have the recording of the scam that put it over the top. It's unreal folks. Super mean to the kid they scammed.
lol its not a kid, no one on this game is a kid.
Some people still have the originals. There were about 200 of these events

Wow my recording got into a video many years later
Nice
The saga will continue never fear lol
@@davinci315 I privated that video though; but I find it cool my source material made it into something
And now,
with a brand new competitive scene,
E-Sports Officially announces,
!!!! The Manipulation League !!!!
Mental gaming has never been this traumatizing.
Scam people in a game that allows scamming = ok
Humiliating, bullying, and being an being an assh*le to people in real life = not ok
As someone who participated in the Bonus Room as an escrow agent I would like to point out that people **DID** win the Bonus Round. The way to win was to outlast Erotica 1. If you were still going by the time he was ready to go to bed - you got 4x your stuff. A few players became filthy rich from this.
Most Bonus Rounds were pretty uneventful and moderately entertaining. The few that became famous were when the candidate screamed and called people n*gg*rs.
No one wants to talk about those contestants who hurled abuse at everyone, nor the contestants who got abused by and kicked out of their corporations for "ruining the killboard" with empty pods.
Erotica 1 was edgy and sometimes toed the line. But I don't agree with CCP's decision to ban him (he didn't violate any currently existing rules at the time) nor CCP's decision to log in one day and randomly ban everyone who happened to be logged in and present in Erotica 1's chat channels. Some of those people had been invited to the channel and never actually participated or spoke in the channel.
For this reason, among many others, I refuse this game!
For what its worth the community rejects him pretty hard
@@lavalamp505not really.
If I had unlimited money and cloud, I would hire the best hackers in the market and go with a vengeance after groups like Erotica.
So take a video game and actually cause harm to someone? You wouldn’t be the first, but SHOULD give you pause…
I'm shit faced and enjoying this obscure internet game lore
Just found this video and it’s great! Keep it up dude I subbed
Glad you enjoyed it!
Is Erotica1 really gone? or is he still in game playing under a different name?
Who knows. A lot of the old guard are gone. The game turned into a p2w mtxfest and lost a lot of its old glory. I stopped playing years ago.
I was quite a good scammer and I remember I scammed this guy and he cried in coms and then said he was going to go kill himself and disconnected. I sent an email to ccp and they sent his IP to interpol who sent the NYPD to his door. 😅 he come bk next day and told me and I gave him half his stuff bk. This was about a 8bil I took from him 😂
I don't know how anyone could be "forced" to sing and hand over all their assets via voice comms.
Generally, they had the assets first and use that as leverage to get more or embarrass you further.
Quality of this video is FANTASTIC. Key parts not accurate but opinion. Still, love it man. We should get in touch. The saga continues and I’d like you to be apart of it 😀
Do you have the Sohkar recording?
Yeah someone needs post the recording. It's insane.

People will dislike this take but Erotica1 is what makes EVE unlike.
💯
Stupid games win stupid prizes
Eve online is a sociopaths playground.
Just like the world around you.
Will double your isk, 40m + only
I'm supposed to feel bad for the guy with a stutter who chose to play a game and put himself through a bunch of shit he could have disconnected from at any time? Fuck that, weak as hell.
video quality and overall production is top notch. it, however, presents meta game fiction as though objective fact. which this video is not.
Lol even goons disliked him yes
lol thats not true at all. thats what the internet says. mittens was on at least one along with scooter, various goon directors, etc. the "even goons disliked him" was the meta game after the fact, same with ccp devs erotica 1 was friends with including ccp falcon. Wildly Inappropriate considered leaving Goons when given the choice to kick E1 or have corp kicked. That corp was evenly split and e1 left on his own free will to not affect corpmates.
lava lamp either believes complete propaganda or "something else"
this video is completely over the top and inaccurate
