Group of goons having fun doing something in game. Other goons come along and poo poo all over it. It really is this simple.

I actually haven't played with any goons in an MMO before. I just remember when I read the OP it sounded like a fun game where goons had a strong presence but also dicked around with fun shenanigans and piracy. And sometimes that is true, but the rest of the time its the most idiotic drama I've ever seen.

It's not like we can't just make a new one or reopen it.

Also "Looks like Widestancer now has the OP :/" is making me giggle. I've tried to update OP and do well.

It's a loving PVP game.

Well, I would probably give some consideration to the many people that say Sct's explanation of events mirrors their own*, and take his numerous apologies into consideration within that framework. Or not, but if you don't then it might still be a good example not to call everyone who does a child rapist.

*this explanation being that sct heard everything about BFM in a joking context and that the reality was explained to him as being blown out of context and not anything close to the horrific crime that we now understand occurred.


Holy loving poo poo are you really going back to the "well it was all jokes" thing even though that's A: retarded and B: been blown out of the water?

The quality of playing Games with Goons has really gone down hill over the years. I realize sounds like something a huge nerd, and a total dork, would say (and you would be correct) but I used to play some stuff, like Ultima Online free-shards with goons, even before I registered an account, and everyone was really carefree, funny, easy to talk to, and would always be having a good time. I feel like some time around when Eve came out a bunch of people joined for that sort of stuff, and now we have those kinds of people everywhere. The experience I've had more recently is entirely goons not doing anything fun, being way too high-strung, and armchair video game commanders power tripping and trying to manipulate common goons into funneling them money.

Basically, I'm real disappointed in ya'll. Can't have a good time anymore around these parts

No one has to believe you because SCT admitted in his own apology literally that he was "trying to sweep it under the rug" and stated that "it didn't even happen in America". You do remember that, right?

This is a good start, but someone should just roll something as close to <Goon Squad> as possible and splinter their feet out from under them. Any goon officer that pulled the AA level of stupid bitch drama, much less built a guild mission statement on farming and pubbie relations, would be demoted and publicly mocked forever in any other goon guild. That's basically every officer shown so far in the AA Goon Squad. Let them have their shitlord pubbie guild to themselves. Also they're literally stealing from goons under a vague promise of "we'll make you all armor!!" which you drat well know will just be used to make them and their best pedo buds the shiniest armor video game money can buy.

No they haven't. Literally every game but EVE and AA has chill as hell goon guilds. GW2 and WoW have rock-solid juggernaut communities and anybody that makes this kind of idiot drama is either gkicked or laughed at until they gquit. You guys just need a Stable Normal People splinter much like this thread.

I'm mostly into sandbox mmos if I play an mmo (which is very rarely), but I quit ArcheAge a couple weeks back, so I'm just rambling. For what it's worth the people I played UO freeshards with recently were still pretty cool.

Yeah, he was referring to his understood narrative, which is what BFM told him happened: that someone lied to him about their age before having sex.

We now understand that what really happened is BFM is a sociopath who mentally abused and raped a girl, and Sct's words (which were already bad, I'm not denying that), look absolutely reprehensible in hindsight.

You can believe any narrative you like, I'd prefer you talked about it with some maturity, but more than anything it's pretty :psyduck: for me to be called a "PC SJW oval office" everywhere else on the internet then come here and be called a pedophile.

I messaged a buncha people before I quit if they would be interested in using the fact that you can plant thing sin public to plant funny things in public spots, words, pictures, whatever

I'd even spend the last of my 60 or however gold on it. No one really was up for it though. Everyone wanted to grind or fish or do something like that

Think of the possibilities though, you can get flowers in a variety of colors for pretty cheap
