Safe and sound, detached from reality.
Just like your posting.
I tried to fish and it sucked. Started with a bunch of bait fishing, turned worms worth a few silver each into fish worth a copper each and I can't do anything with them unless I have 100 of one kind. Then I tried sport fishing, it took me 600 labor to even get a bite and it took literally 20 minutes to catch that fish. It was worth a gold fifty.

I have also mined in EVE. Nothing organized, just me farting around in a low tier cargo ship with a mining laser and at least there I could lock on to something then go do something else for the next hour and come back to a ship full of "free money".

In conclusion gently caress fishing, it's even worse than mining.

Ahahahahahahahah. Says the commander who went away for over a week only to come back because we called you out on it. That is rich. YOU are one of the leaders they are talking about lol.

Also the original plan was to have another meeting on Friday the 31st to see where we were and to see if dodgy had passed lead yet. Everything hinged on us getting guild lead back because we couldn't do much as far restructuring and reorganizing without it. The next course of action was to either reform or continue if we got glead from dodgy. Shortly after the officers meeting we were going to have a state of the goonion. Obviously that didn't happen because the guild imploded Thursday night. This is why a bunch of us were so upset with Kimsemus and his goonfucking because he made zero attempt to help with any of this or even ask about it in the first place. He simply was not around and didn't make it to either of the oficer meetings nor did he listen to what we asked. The fishing thing was just a big gently caress you to the rest of the officers.

Here's what I'm taking away from this as somebody who never played this game and has no ties to anything going on other than the amusing poo poo-show that is this thread: You are equating

A: Jacking a bunch of materials you were holding for your organization, that your organization had collected, when you decided you didn't like being in the organization anymore. (Admittedly, I wouldn't want to be in the organization anymore.)
B: A guy in a leadership position not leading people in the video game for a week.

Gotta say, that's kinda pathetic and smacks of "IT'S HIS FAULT I STOLE IT, OFFICER, HE LEFT IT THERE UNATTENDED!" Not that I don't think Kimsemus wasn't deliberately antagonizing the Fishing crew, I'm 99.99999% certain he was breaking those rules where he felt he could get away with them and then claiming he wasn't and he'd have every reason to keep lying about it here if it's true. Guy was pissed at fish, who can blame him?

Not me, because that fish pact thing sounds loving boring.

Ganking miners in eve is fun so far and sinking fishing boats seems equivalent.

I am going to give you guys a little PSA right now.

If you plan on being a stable, normal person in a leadership position, just do the opposite of anything that the previous officers did.

1) Let people know your plans. Speculation and the rumors it starts are worse than letting people know you are helping them in secret for "opsec".

2) Schedule meetings when people are on and provide notes for those not there. Halloween may seem like a good time for major decisions, but a couple of people may be unable to attend.

3) Don't take everything you don't agree with as subversion (or goonfucking), especially if you failed to obey point number 1.

I don't think you really understand the situation here... see, they SPAMMED guildchat in CAPS several times let everyone know that plans existed (but don't ask). If that's not enough to inspire confidence given the long history of honorable goon leadership then I don't know what to tell you.

e: but the current leaderfolk seem cool

Step 1: find a boat with radar and cannons, like a cutter.


Step 2: crew boat, sail around looking at radar until fishers are spotted.


Step 3: kill the fishfucker captain and take control of the ship yourself.


Step 4: bring the ship into cannon range and set the fish free!

Hi, you don't even have to blow up the ship unless it's got something in the boxes. The hold where you put fish doesn't count as "cargo" for the purposes of keeping the thing from desummoning so if you just drive it away until it times out and desummons it'll drop the fish on the surface of the water and you can grab them. If it's faster to blow it up then go for it but you can just gtfo and still grab your fish. It's usually a good idea to just murder the captain and have some dude start driving the boat away while other goons clean up.

True, but Widestancer specifically asked for a guide on killing fishing boats, plus blowing them up is more fun.

We both know that isn't true. The first 2000g was donated within the first 10 minutes of dodgy asking for it and the stone came from pubbies and miners. If you're talking about the scheme you set up to gear the guild it's also not true seeing as Munion isn't playing any more and I still see fishers like myself in Goon Squad.
