Controversy has arisen from the EVE community as a group of non-aligned pilots that specialize in High-sec ganking took matters too far; they decided to break the online wall to make their own justice for an event that seemed innocuous.
The battle of the bricks was supposed to be a fun time between Capsuleers, Star Citizen players, and the odd bitter vet. It was the perfect storm for a fulfilling family-friendly activity where the only thing that mattered was how ambitious you were and what ship model you chose.
It all changed last Monday evening when a group of pilots wanted to take their playstyle outside of the game, taking the event as a nice opportunity that miners are never safe not even in real life. The events transpired in the residence of the player identified as El’Miner, a famous player brought to the spotlight thanks to his Skiff Losemail becoming a common meme among Capsuleers.
El’Miner decided to participate in the even doing by remaking his iconic Skiff with an old Lego set they had lying around, being a bitter vet wouldn’t stop him from participating in such a nice event unfortunately, things changed as later in the night a group of 10 unknown people broke into his home, the security cameras installed let us see that they were wearing crude cardboard cutouts of the infamous Gallente destroyer ship, the Catalyst, and it seemed like their customs were painted using cheap spray paint.
These individuals proceed to smash El’Miner’s Lego Skiff to pieces using iron hammers, not leaving a single piece unbroken, then they proceeded to sit down on the ground until law enforcement came to the scene, according to their testimonials they “Didn’t want to flee from CONCORD as it would be an exploit”. All of their tools were left on the scene and according to our journalists the hammers had a piece of paper taped to them that read “Neutron blaster II”.
Fortunately, El’Miners and their family were out eating dinner at a local restaurant and the alarm system made a quick effort on alerting law enforcement of the home invasion, El’Miner will be pressing charges, and the only comment he made was to suggest a psychological evaluation be made to those involved in the bizarre incident.
