Articles About a Coup in Eve Online

March 6, 2017 5:47 AM

I listened to a segment about a coup in the online game Eve Online that's in the latest episode of the New Yorker Radio Hour. I didn't know anything about this incident -- are there any good articles about it you can point me to? (I didn't see anything on the New Yorker's website.)

I'm pretty sure there was a post on it here, as it happened - I did a quick search and thought it was this one, but I feel like there was another where people went into more depth. The one I linked includes this article, which may be what you're looking for.

This article also came up for me.

From the Now I Know newsletter, which is how I heard of it.

Here's a metafilter thread specifically about the Goonswarm / BoB war covered in the NYRH this past weekend. Major events in Eve like this typically get a post on the blue, and you can find most of them under the "eveonline" tag.
