So I just got accepted into a wormhole corp that lives in a C2 wormhole.

Should I go fly down there now in a t2 fit drake and start punching sleepers or should i first spend a week sitting in jita training scanning and cloaking skills?

I'm sure if I asked them they'd say to just come along, but i'm nervous.

I wonder when we will be getting strategic supercarriers, which will function like pre-phoebe normal supercarriers but cost fifty zillion isk so they won't proliferate as badly

Actually there should be a hard cap of the number that can exist at any one time, so the only way to get in on the Strategic Spacedick 2.0 game is to blow one up. There, I fixed nullsec.

I really didn't want to engage on the topic but I can never stop myself from making horrible posts. For one, I'm not sure if that post was sincere or not, but yes, the meta functions on a completely different level. People play rough. Someday, I might be able to tell all about it, when this game is dust and we've moved on. There are battles going on that people never read or hear about. A battle of wits that I play every drat day, whether I want to or not because the meta doesn't ever shut off or take a downtime.

I won't go into too much about the Manny thing. It happened, I apologized. There is a narrative that everyone likes and there is what happened. In either narrative, I made the mistake. It was a great game of chess and I literally picked up the chess board and threw it at my opponent after I had already won. Was Manny in or out? To my knowledge, he wasn't in, but that didn't matter, because I went to Okcupid, picked out the unsecured profile that flagged on a Google search and waved it around. It took months to get him. Months. Picked up the case several times, sat it back down. Waited for data. It took coordination and it took saving every scrap of info I could find and then I had to wait for that Eureka moment, which doesn't come as easily as one would think. It was a massive amount work for not just me but many others. The decision to execute a Titan is not something we make lightly. It had to be sure and certain. It was and I won against an opponent that probably has more meta experience that most. I wanted people to know it and I'm pretty certain he understood that about me and that was my downfall to lead to such a mistake.

A wise man once told me that big dogs don't bark. I try not to these days. It sometimes sucks because people don't see the real victories very often. They also don't get to see the human side very often either. You think it's all google and ban lists? Try frantically trying to find a missing Vio after the Boston bombing. Or the random suicide watch that happens and people are desperate to find out if someone is okay. I won't even begin to talk about 2012 but let me say, I was as close to broken as one could ever be and we still managed to do good works through it all, as many senior SA mods can attest. And I still relive that night and the days that follow in my head. And the conversations before. And deal with a certain emptiness every morning while I have coffee before work.

I was asked by someone to keep Goons safe. It sounds silly because it's a video game but it's a video game where the strong survive, the weak crumble and where acting, lies, treachery and deceit are perfectly legal. Unfortunately, until that changes, there will some rear end in a top hat working that angle and someone like me there to try to catch it.

If you are worried about the meta, don't play it. If you are worried about your information, then don't post it on publically available services or participate in social networking. It's that simple. I'll do my best to not bark about it and the Manny thing wasn't the only lesson for me. I'm just like you, I struggle to grow and improve.

I don't have to peruse my journals to know that many of the posters in here are not real goons and I'm flattered that so many pages have been devoted to my space job. It gives me hope because if bitching about a incident that happened now ages ago is the only thing you have, I know Goonkind will be in space until CCP sells out or crumbles to the ground.

And that's all you get and hopefully it fuels another 50 pages.

Third why do you think being gay is some sort of shameful scandal, are you for real or some sort of 1930s time traveler. Like what world do you live in where saying "you are gay for real" legitimately wins you the argument and the shamefully gay person is just supposed to slink off into the sadly gay night as everyone claps and cheers.

Seriously the only reason Digi's post hasn't been emptyquoted and laughed at for like a million posts is 1) people in the space guild are afraid of his elite space FBI powers of looking up forumnames.xls and/or 2) the space guild has been eve-famous for so long that this thread has attracted too many broken people to even notice how hilarious that poo poo is.

"Look, people may be mad that I told everyone a dude was gay in order to win an argument because I am a loving weirdo, but we were on the chase for months, and I am a God, literal Christ Risen, because I know what IP addresses and google are."

Holy gently caress.

Like for real, that post is strong evidence Digi needs at the very least a mental health sabbatical. Right now 100% he is looking up my facebook profile to try to get some sweet digs at how sexy I am or something (spoilers: extremely sexy), and thinking that is perfectly fine and normal. This poo poo is breaking him. You have told him too many nice things about his elite investigation powers and now he believes it and worse believes he has Great Power.

It would be nice if the mods just banned the really weird fuckers (BFM) rather than having to resort to Imp zone frontier Justice that shits up threads for all of the other people doing a thing/playing a game.

I guess this part would be more believable if the first reaction to most of the people here was "yeah that was hosed up and it happened a long time ago" instead of impassioned arguments defending stuff that to any outside observer is really weird and hosed up.

So the skill "Advanced target management"

Not counting the use of auto targeting systems. The only use for this skill at level 4 is a Triage Carrier with a T2 Triage module right?

All that to say, on my way out of Syndicate, I met up with a decidely unfriendly Sabre pilot. He nearly got me before I raced back to the gate and jumped back through with just a little structure left. I thought it looked pretty awesome. Since I stupidly (fortunately, now) trained small projectile turrets to go with my caldari frigate five skill, I'm now focusing up on getting to Minatar ships. I have a while to train, and will go back through the thread to find a fit, but is there something similar I can do in a harpy or tristan that will prepare me for the strategies of using an interdictor? Should I just focus on going out there and attacking everything I can and start learning what kills me fast and what takes slightly longer to kill me?

On a side note, if you haven't been playing for a few years, you may only know "Kugu" for the forums named after him, and not the man. Kugu is/was a computer security consultant -- pentesting and IDS -- who dabbled in blackhat poo poo. He was getting paid by an alliance to directly break into competing alliances' websites, in order to do IP harvesting and intel gathering. There is some serious gray area poo poo out there that sane men should not touch.
