Yeah, you might have some trouble joining either with no posts, if you cant get into waffe you can join amok or karmafleet until you get some posts under your belt, then switch corps. If you cant join goosefleet, then the only thing i can suggest is

Elchimpster posted:Thanks for the advice, Ill check out the threads. J4g still frowned on in 2023 Im assuming? There’s two ways into goonwaffe, the first is the traditional SA account no j4gs, where you can get in purely upon the merits of your SA posting. I generally let Maneck and Ajaxify judge those and don’t interfere. The second method is an existing waffe member in good standing can vouch up to 3 others at a time. I approve those and if they make it 90 days without irritating me and just post they can apply for naturalization. That being said, remaining in goonwaffe just requires just one of the following every 60 days: - make a post on the GSF forums - connect to jabber - connect to mumble - get a pap It’s hilariously easy and always funny when someone Rutibex’s into this thread complaining about how they got kicked with no warning. Speaking of, that hasn’t happened in a bit, time for an activity review.

Don't think of it as "getting your numbers up." You will never make it. You will be a j4g and it will show. Become a part of the Something Awful community. Posting will quickly become a god-awful chore otherwise. Once you've started genuinely posting for it's own sake, you will be a True Goon and will also get to Goosefleet or Goonwaffe without a hitch and in no time. Besides, there is so much to this terrible forum. I've had many laughs over the decade.

Also, unless it changed since I was in (and andromache is the authority, not me), an inactivity kick isn't considered punitive. You can just do whatever you did to join originally again and nobody will give a poo poo. The tantrum-throwers never seem to figure this out - they spend more time whining than it would take them to just reapply and get re-admitted.

Yeah I got inactivity purged from waffe a couple times and dropped corp when the mittens poo poo happened, and when the dread pirate elusif comedy reddit drama shenanigans happened and it looked like CCP was going to dumpster GEESE, my first thought was "well at least I can get back into waffe if everything goes tits up". Thankfully CCP did not dumpster GEESE and in fact our original CEO has been unbanned and given compensatory sub time on her accounts so we will continue hooting and honking into the abyss

You like any other games? Cars? Makeup? Books? Star wars? Emo music? Photoshop? As someone who was in the same position (as you can tell by my relatively new account) this is really the best you can do. Or just j4g and get laughed at thats fine too.

They both have threads in PGS and are both good and pretty incomparable in terms of fun. geese have been amazing for a clueless idiot like me, yeah there's some awkwardness hopping on comms with folks who have been playing this game for 20 years and know everything, but everyone is incredibly eager to help out and very patient when i say incredibly dumb things or ask incredibly dumb questions i can't recommend wormhole content enough, if you've got the right flavor of brainworms there is nothing more peaceful than hopping in an anathema or cheetah (covops scanning ships), scanning down WH chain after WH chain saving bookmarks and just watching pathfinder populate on your 2nd monitor. then suddenly you hit a highly profitable path like an XL hole to Jita 3 jumps from homebase, and you get to ping everyone and see people scurry around to take advantage of the spacelane you personally carved out a minute ago, gently caress that's a dopamine rush
