As an aside ~ I find it an interesting convergence of 'our future' that the man used social engineering / diplomacy / subterfuge to excel in the most cut-throat and blood-thirsty game on the market, where sociopathic tendencies are often required to 'win'.

Oh, and he played EvE well, apparently.

[He "worked IT" for an embassy in a war zone, and modelled complex 'interpersonal' relations in a vast virtual world. We've come a long way from Pong. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loren_Carpenter]

For reference for the negative score ~ " . " is a common mark of respect, denoting a loss. I see it was removed / formatted out. (Original comment started with " . " one line).

Are we to Ignore the fact that it's commonly known that the higher levels of playing EvE are notorious for ruthless / sociopathic behaviours, and that praising his on-line skills <i>might</i> have irony to it?

I'm not sure being remembered as "that total bastard from GoonSquad" is expressing <i>quite</i> what you all intend.
