To clarify a few things, the majority of people left not because of fishing but because most people who cared about the guild were not getting anywhere because of various setbacks that effectively neutered their ability to get anything done. Examples BFM and the surrounding drama, SCT leaving, Dodgy being gone for several weeks( hope things are going better for you man), Kimsemus directly defying other officers wishes, etc. We had made considerable progress in spite of dodgy being gone in getting the guild prepared for auroria. That is why you saw so much energy being pumped into fishing. The reality is that it was means to an end. People were trying to get money so that they could get gear and in turn so that they could do what we, the officers, had asked of them. This of course was that they be prepared for Auroria.
Kimsemus was told by multiple officers not to pirate in the areas where goon fishers were known to be unless explicitly requested by them. This was supposed to last until Auroria. What he did instead was directly the opposite and when called out, again multiple officers, he proceeded to goon gently caress like none other. A metaphorical game of "I'm not touching you, I'm not touching you, im not touching you!". Taters, getting control of the guild had nothing to do with the splintering and in fact is what quite a blessing. He realized that Kimsemus was destructive to the guild which was why he was immediately kicked( also due to the fact that he is a complete tool). For a split second we had real goon unity and we absolutely stomped Freedich and anyone who opposed us. We pushed 2 or 3 merchant ships full of packs in a matter of minutes. It was incredible and I was really hopeful that we might be able to get it back on track. Once that concluded we were essentially back to the way things were and everyone proceeded to make mountains out of nothing. The result of all of this bullshit was that those of us who really wanted to see the guild progress became so burnt out that we just didn't give a gently caress anymore. I really wish all of you could have seen and heard the amount of positive discourse we had two weeks ago about the future of the guild in mumble and officers chat on the offsite. Things were really looking up until this whole fishing drama poo poo happened.

That is why you saw a mass exodus of the real movers and shakers of the guild to wicked or other guilds. The irony of it all is that the same people who complained about the guild not doing anything were the ones being vocally disruptive. In the end, we all lose.

fyi we were sitting in mumble laughing (with taters) as he kicked kimsemus and gave jerkjerk leader so good luck with your GOON UNITY

fishers being whiny babies caused all this nonsense, it has zero to do with kimsemus

Morglon posted:

Let me tell you how much the fishing spergs are not at fault, not spergs and in fact really awesome by typing all these words. Also I am super not mad and it is in fact Kimsemus who is so buttmad and jealous of our success and furthermore

Malakesh posted:

Haha ok.

Flavahbeast posted:

Blaming imp zone for goon squad problems is dumb, if your leaders can't last a month without getting trolled out of the guild by people that don't even play the game you're gonna have a hard time of it. Huge goon guilds don't accomplish a lot without someone herding the goons and herding the goons is a poo poo job

Go ahead and ask taters, or anyone in the CTS mumble that night. Contrary to popular fisherman belief, there is not some giant conspiracy spun from a web of lies.

Pretty sure he means the 'leadership' in general, not Dodgy who is understandably not around right now.

I don't want to say I told you so but that's exactly what happens when you make Riyott an officer.

Riyott was staff (not an officer, could not kick or demote) and had very little power. He was a bit over zealous at times but he meant well. Post more about things you don't know about.
