Whether or not it's overkill is irrelevant anyway. We let people do whatever they want, and that may include attacking the gangs that tend to show up in Deklein. Some people just like doing that

Did you click the link or are you just reacting to the post? Because dude used a 6 billion isk officer smartbomb to kill a single pod.

I'm not judging. Actually think that's hilarious. I wonder if he clicked the wrong button or if he was just feeling ostentatious. I'm imagining this guy lights his cigars by burning thousand dollar bills.

Well I signed up and applied for corp membership. While I'm waiting and I realize this may be a futile question but is there anything I should be looking to do right off? I apparently had propulsion jamming V training on my gallente character when I left so thats active again and lord knows where all my ships are. The only thing I can locate is a tech 2 ship (tier 2? I've lost my vocab for this game too :( ) thats lost off in low sec/null sec behind some other alliances borders from way back when I was trying to stop being a goddamn high sec pubby.

This is somewhat daunting with only the scraps of memories I have of the game from before.

That makes sense now, I really had no idea what zulu squad is/was until now anyway.

Yeah that's not what Zulu Squad is at all. I have no idea who the guy who thinks the height of comedy is picking a username that is a mash up of "Rhyme" and "Rinocerous" is, but he's posting more poo poo then hits my toilet bowl after a bad curry.

While the ad was pretty low effort that's because I paid the $10 for it and to be honest I still think it was a better spend then anyone paying to read this thread (which is terrible and which is why I usually don't post here).

If you actually want to know what Zulu Squad is then it was actually the Test equivelent of Sigma Squad (i think) in the way it was basically just a social squad with no real purpose.

When Test went through its phase where it committed repeated political suicide, a lot of the older members of Test were Zulu Squad members. Sick of being told their warnings about the lovely direction the alliance was heading in were bitter vet toxic bullshit by players who had been in Test about 2 weeks, the leaders of Zulu Squad left Test to have services etc seprate from ANY political entity.

Zulu Squad isn't a goonfleet clone for several reasons, not least because it doesn't have a leader, doesn't desire to have sov and lose it because we forgot to pay a bill, and we don't even fly together apart from on very rare occasions as we are all different sides of the EVE political spectrum.

Zulu Squad IRC is essentially the mos isley canteena of EVE as there are terrible (and chilled) people from everywhere. CFC, PL, BL, N3 etc. Anyone who starts slinging EVE politics around is basically told to shut the gently caress up as no one wants a Kugu clone.

The forums are full of terrible posters though, so in that specific way I guess it is a goonfleet.com clone. Except you know, people still actually post on the Zulu forums.

I play games like EUIV and Civ with guys from Zulu Squad a hundred times more often than I play EVE with them. It's just a social group of people that play EVE and other video games.

You don't even know what the gently caress you're talking about. It's an embassy channel where people from all over hang out. 99% of the people in the channel are political retards when it comes to 0.0, but it's good for a few laughs here and there.

It's really a pretty nice place to talk to other people who play EVE, at least the Zulu IRC is. It's the Jabberlon 5, but for the non-diplos to just talk about random poo poo and play other games with each other. Some Goons are on there, TEST, PL, BL, other random groups. Powers is a mod on it if I remember correctly. Kitchner is just being overly defensive.

Also that ad was pretty low effort, especially since there was another group using an ad with the same dude.

I'm not even sure what the gently caress happened in the last 2 pages. As best as I can tell, someone said something about Zulusquad, and then another someone got mad about it, and then the first someone got shouted down for being ignorant.


None of which was worth reading about, and should be buried as quickly as possible.

It was a stupid ad, it only cost you $10, nobody really cares, don't be so defensive. Also, you weren't even responding to the right person (rhymenoseros only said "dumb pubbie poo poo in video form", which it is, and never once commented on zulu squad itself). This thread gets bad enough already without some kind of pubbie vs true goon debate started over a 5 second in-joke youtube clip.

It feels like 'importing' drama because a defensive wall of text suddenly appeared when one person called zulu squad a GS cargo cult, when nobody really cares except you two. If you're going to post on SA, even in the little spergy Eve corner, at least learn that giant defensive seriousposts are not going to have the desired result.

No, you see TESTs new gimmick is to claim they're the people who "moved EVE." Everything in EVE over that past few years has revolved around what TEST does, clearly.
