Fweddit I think is pretty goon friendly. Doesn't really matter much though if you're just blitzing missions, can just put the alt in whatever NPC corp and make dosh.

There is a faction warfare thread in Home Economics, and I believe there are some people there that have a corporation for faction warfare. There is no truly "official" Goonwaffe faction warfare corporation though.

I Whip My Slaves Back and Forth, or J4LP (heh), or Fweddit is all blue. As for what they do, I really couldn't tell ya and going to assume pugnax is correct, or at least partially correct as the ticker is J4LP.. wonder what that means..

I have seen more of Fweddit bros in nullsec battles, don't think I've seen anyone else from that alliance.

So, SniggWaffe made some silly vid of our recent love of hisec ganking and our "jihad on ratters" etc. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEy02MFWxU4

It gets put on r/eve and whatever, people like and dislike it.

Then there is this wonderful angry post.

quote:

You know why I hate the good majority of this game? Because a huge percentage of the population just wants to play the game, while a sizable minority (But large enough to be a problem) tries so desperately to basically be the biggest cocksuckers in space this side of Xenuria's bedroom.

Party A wants to have fun, shoot NPC's, run missions, collect loot, make things, move things around, make ISK, and basically just do their thing.

Party B wants to get drunk, blob together in kitchen sink fleets, and shoot everything with a player ID attached to it.

Like I get it, EVE is a sandbox and sandboxes have sand and if you don't like having sand in your eyes/underwear get the gently caress out of the sandbox, and that's fine, but we're in our own corner of the sandbox, away from the rest of you, away from your space/territory, giving you like %97 of the loving sandbox to play in. Why can't you leave our little corner alone? Why do you have to form huge loving jihad fleets to come and kill us? For fun?

Stop trying to justify it with "it's a game" or "You consent to PVP by undocking" and other useless pedantic rabble; You're assholes, you play like assholes, you act like assholes, you poo poo up local like assholes, you attack indiscriminately like assholes, and you brag about it and chortle with your mates like assholes and post huge walls of text about the "delicious tears" you get from people like me who actually give a poo poo when a ship goes pop, because you are assholes.

YOU are ruining the game. This game wasn't made to be an rear end in a top hat's playground. If I remember correctly that game went by the name of "Call of Duty".

Not all of us have the free time to form huge player alliances, forge powerful friendships, create corporations, etc. Some of us after getting home from work or getting a couple hours away from the family want to just go mine, or shoot some red crosses or move some poo poo around... And here you faggots are, huge kitchen sink blob sitting on a highsec gate waiting for anyone who gets your little communal cock hard enough to jump to the gate so you can gank them.

You're assholes, Snigg. Assholes. Not content-creators, not elite PVPers. Assholes.

You're the kids who'd run around the playground beating up the nerds and kids who brought toys to school.

Assholes.

And you're the biggest reason why I am leaving the game.

I don't even think it was one of our victims. Just some dude who was super bitter about having been killed at one point by someone.

Then Jeffraider finds out and goes "I'm framing this", the reply:

quote:

You're the biggest loving human being of them all. God I hated TEST when your rear end came prancing into our Jabber/Mumble. The only reason why anyone pays attention to you is because you have a loud annoying voice and you occasionally say something funny, so that prevents the autists that populate 90% of big bloc alliances from getting too sick of you.

And it goes on, and on. I forgot how much delight comes from a public meltdown.

He was pretty tightly wound for being a levelheaded dude, he snapped a couple months back and just quit EVE altogether. I think there were some personal issues between him and the other directors of fweddit as well.

Ah, it's been a little while since I've seen good carebear tears, thank you.

We all know how you're supposed to play Eve. Carebears don't, for the most part. And that's why they die and it's so funny. They think we're just assholes when in reality it was entirely their fault; maybe that's why they get so mad? Hey, pretty sure if I were to mission in highsec and some random player shows up, I'm docking.

I used to gank Exhumers for profit before the salvage nerf. I would get all sorts of angry tears. People just couldn't believe that I would want to kill their precious internet spaceship for any reason. On average I made 35-40m/isk a gank. Sometimes I would get lucky, gank a handful of Exhumers and each salvage would drop x3 Intact Armor plates and they used to go for around +20m/isk a piece at the time.

Paid the bills and was very fun.

Hitting d-scan every few minutes and looking for thrashers and catalysts is super hard work and involves the person actually looking at the screen. That reaction is the exact reason why I and so many others leave our null sec hovels and head to look for people to prey on, I've never looked at it with a profit motive in the slightest it's all about fun. A simple gf in local and no tears and I guarantee you those of us who gank for fun would get bored and find something else to pick on.

I did my first hisec suicide gank the other day and it blew my mind that people would sit there with a 30 man local spoke... Thrashers and catalysts on dscan.... And just like, keep orbiting away in their orca.

Agreed. It shows you the mindset of the common high sec dweller that they feel they're entitled to make everyone else play the game their way all the while feeling they're qualified to pontificate about game mechanics and things in game they've little to no experience of or desire to gain experience in. On one gank I and a few others surrounded a mining ship and sat there until 10 minutes later when he looked up to warp to station to unload his ice and then we shot him, he didn't even look in between cycles to see what was going on.

So they'll carry on losing 120 mil mining ships simply because d-scan is a super hard tool to use and understand and tanking skills are obviously for plebs. The most truly ironic thing is they'd be safer moving to null and getting in a standing fleet than just soloing a few rocks in high sec.

We started to do it just for fun and to piss in someones cheerios. Then we got serious about grabbing juicy kills to salvage but also go "oh there's a mining fleet? they're not allowed to mine in our district" and go off and kill them with Thrashers.
