I realize you're being cheeky and all, but seriously, backing the dumb FC who shoots people that want to go on stratops to shoot a POS is a level beyond.

I'm less upset about pooki losing a nightmare, and more puzzled that the leadership seemed to lock shields around a dumb call by this skirmish FC.

I hope all the bad things in life happen to the goonfleet directorship, and no one else but the goonfleet directorship. #PEOPLEOFCONDI

Isn't there some ancient Goon prophecy about the day a Goon draws Goons blood while under orders from a pubbie.

We should ask the bookbarn custodians. They'd know.

Personally I think shooting pooki was BS but w/e Oxygens a dick and pooki should have known he'd be a fucktard about it.

What I'm curious about is how did he get approval to also pod a goon? Seems a bit loving much.

Edit: I'm sure it was part of the commissar ok, but the FC's being a vengeful dick. gently caress him.

Most people don't fly ops with 500mil of implants in their head, so someone probably thought "oh we're blowing him up? May as well pod him!"

P sure that a lot of long time goons that you know, like PVP on the regular do. 4 out of 5 of my clones have at least 300mil implants.

Luckily, I went out the next day in my isktar and forgot to turn on the AB. I considered throwing a tantrum, but it's my own fault so I rolled with the punches.

That's true. Still podding pooki was basically the babby fc taking a poo poo in his pants in anger.

The whole premise of the contest came off to me as pure arrogance. I mean I know you meant to give people an incentive to practice good combat probing skills but you could have easily ran a class and...not have a bunch of goonfleet vets+a few karmafleet newbies hunt you down and own you within an hour or so.

Then again you did pay up so I guess it evened out in the end. Did you keep it going?

Was the podding explicitly ordered? I just assumed it was some people getting excited about shooting blues and grabbing the pod because why not while they're at it

I blew through 2 tengus and took a break to try to recoup. Then I got drunk and bought an Orca on a whim because I'm not very smart.

I didn't mean for it to be arrogant, the OP was meant to be funny, but we're all on the same page on that one.

I'm not comfortable with combat probing, having never really done it. I've actually been really sheltered in my exposure to the finer points of this game. I certainly couldn't run a class on it because scanning poo poo takes me forever. That's another objective for that contest: teaching me to avoid hostiles while scanning poo poo down, or learning if I was too stupid to risk that much money in hostile regions. Objective complete, I suppose.

It probably should've been explicitly stopped. ie. The FC saying "don't shoot the loving pod"

Whatever, it's smashing dolls together, it's not a crisis.

Yeah I know you didn't. Just the fact you weren't killed within the first day of your OP going up and you continuing to post came off as arrogant to me. On a related note if you wanna learn how to juke nerds and be useful to BAND OF GOONBROTHERS RELOADED you should sign up with recon. They are good people.
