in the ancient times, the SA eve thread was nothing and the goonfleet forums were where the magic happened. IMO the GF forums died very rapidly after Sion Animename came to prominence, and the deathknell was around the time of the ~Imperium~ rebrand and the twitch stream bullshit


Lord have mercy is that what all that stuff is? I watched a couple videos on CRAB beacons after reading about them here. Now my suggested youtube videos are some guy named briscrubble or something and a guy named markserectus, no idea whats going on

Brisc is EVE's most perpetually smug yet thin-skinned mouth piece, and believes Mittani did nothing wrong. Mark is the replacement for Mittani on The Meta Show

I heard that he met Ben Shapiro once and came away thinking ben was a brilliant young man.

I have never made any attempt to verify this gossip but it's Brisc so who cares

he's a maritime union lobbyist iirc, which is weird because while it's good he's a union man, he also gets really loving mad if you even slightly question him on anything

Delta is still very much alive; most of us have moved on to other games. We tend to roam from game to game in small groups for a few weeks, or sometimes (in the case of BG3) playing solo simultaneously on comms. Current fascinations are BG3, Starfield, Armored Core, and Ascension.

There’s really not much detectable interest in returning. The fact that many Deltas are still blacklisted in the Imperium for “causing drama” despite all the horrific, real life poo poo we uncovered that went on (and let’s be honest probably still goes on) around this game says a lot about what’s really valued here. It’s not fun to sink the time and energy into a game like what EVE requires only to find out your leadership is doing some truly heinous poo poo. THEN getting castigated by karmafleet chuds for having spicy takes like “you’re ignoring multiple sexual harassment claims” and “EVE is not more important than real life”. The other null blocs aren’t any different either.

Some poo poo you just don’t metagame over. There’s way too many fuckers who will yeet EVE politics into scenarios that anyone with common sense should agree are off limits. If you can’t trust that the people you’re playing a game with are following the same rules as you, it’s not a game.

If you're tired of giant nullbloc problems an excellent solution is to not play in a giant nullbloc. The thread often makes it sound like that's the only way to play. If you put thousands of people together there's always gonna be some level of poo poo involved, and as long as it's not too heinous you just kinda gotta ignore it or be permanently annoyed. It's a giant organization with all the giant organization problems companies etc. have but in a video game and you can just choose not to deal with that in your video game.

I've got my own where we invite people on the basis of whether they'd seem enjoyable to spend time with. You can make one if you've got some friends to play with, but, yeah, public groups are hit and miss due to their public nature. I don't think every group but geese is chuds though.

vvv
It's working out fine! I recognize though that finding people to play with is pretty much down to luck. I've had times when I wanted to play Eve but nobody I know did.

No it's the fault of organizations that allow shitters. I'm just saying ones that don't exist and aren't some kind of unheard of rarity.

Do you really need specific proof that everyone in Eve isn't a bigot or tolerant of them? People aren't universally horrible. Public groups that don't police this will eventually get bigots. If I was looking for one, I'd see if they have any stated rules on this, and if not, ask around. But the answer for me is to play with people I know. I don't have a bigot problem in my group because I don't invite bigots in and if one snuck in somehow they'd get the boot. I really don't believe I'm unique in this.

e: Actually, by coincidence, I ran into this recruitment post from Immortalis which says straight up:

quote:

We pride ourselves on being a friendly and inclusive group despite our -10 status and so will not tolerate prejudice or racism and expect our members to adhere to this and most importantly always keep their word.

I don't know what this group is like from the inside since I haven't been there - but if I was about to join one, I'd look for something like this.

Like I said, I play with people I know. I named my own group, as well as a public group with a stated policy. I don't have hands on experience with the latter because I play games with people I actually like.

You're the one making an exceptional claim here. What you're asking me to prove is kind of the obvious truth? Are you claiming decent people who don't tolerate bigotry, or for that matter minorities who are discriminated against essentially don't actually exist in Eve, or are all somehow in your group? Because that's what it would take for it to be true for decent groups to be vanishingly rare.

i think the misunderstanding is that people thought you were talking about existing orgs that didn't have shitters rather than "find people you like and play with them"

Maybe. But I think it's probably easier to find good smaller groups than it is large nullblocs just because they don't face all the social problems of a large corporation and my original point is that the vibe I often get from Eve goons is that large nullblocs are the only way to play.
