EVE Online at Ten Ton Hammer - Taking MMOG Gamers to the Next Level!

This barrage continued without pause, day and night. Roy's capacity for reinventing his propaganda was legendary; while the refrain always began: "PEOPLE OF RISE", his arguments changed frequently in response to new situations in the war, and included items of leaked GIA intelligence from RISE's internal forums. He even had his own website for the express purpose of converting RISE, where his message was augmented with graphs and embarrassing chatlogs. In particular, Roy became the prophet of the opening of the Eye of Terror, the jumpbridge link which would connect the heart of Goonswarm territory to the doorstep of RISE's constellation, rendering the subsequent invasion trivially easy.

In response to these imprecations, BoB sent Yaay, one of their fleet commanders, to give a 'pep talk'. This was a disaster, not only because Yaay was a terrible public speaker, but also because Yaay and the RISE leadership repeatedly dismissed the growing fears of the RISE membership about the Eye of Terror. RISE and BoB had an opportunity to try to prevent the Eye's opening; it takes four weeks for sovereignty to hit level 3 and allow jump bridges. Yet in the face of Roy's ceaseless proselytizing, RISE pointedly did nothing. Their inaction spelled their doom; after four weeks, the Eye opened, and RISE was obliterated.

In his later EVE career, Roy helped expose one of the biggest exploits in EVE, the R64 duping scandal; Roy (who posted as 'a big ass goku' on Kugutsumen.com) had a grudge against the Es and Whizz drug-manufacturing alliance, and discovered that Es and Whizz was a front for laundering isk generated by R64 duping.
