ullerrm posted:I was only around for the 2014 one, where EG blueballed. I've heard second-hand about the 2013 one, but I wasn't there, so I'm not going to quote that as fact. I'd advise you to think very carefully in future before making statements like this in a public forum: ullerrm posted:That has more to do with EG's behavior at previous Vile Rat Day events. But, frankly, if you're really that concerned about goons shooting other goons, you're probably taking this game too seriously. Even more so when the information you seem to be referencing is second / third / fourth hand, and consider that those fleets were being FC'd by Mister Vee, someone likely affected far more than most by the loss of Sean. If you ever have a genuine concern with EG's actions you're welcome to come and speak to me about it. Dominionix fucked around with this message at 10:52 on Jun 1, 2015 |

My understanding of the incident is basically that a bunch of people who were drunk/high/silly/whatever got mad that Vee's fleet had good numbers and a good doctrine. The stories that get passed around about the incident in question are all variations of people being very upset that Vee's competently-led and tightly-composed fleet did not die to whatever wacky, kitchen sink bullshit was thrown at it; and, it is implied in the retellings that having a serious face on silly day was wrong and against the spirit of the Vile Rat Day npsi event. All of my interactions with EG have all been entirely positive, in which a bunch of people who are far quieter than the shrieking masses of the US time zone patiently endured me and treated me well despite my faults; so, for me at least it seems entirely contrary for anything actually untoward to have happened. Is there some incident within the "incident" that I just never heard about?

There's an irony buffet being served here in arguing about a spaceship thing between friends and allies that happened ages ago to memorialize a guy who was made space famous for shaping the diplomatic landscape. I'm not sure if that makes this thing terrible or wonderful, but its definitely goons.txt.

Bonfire Lit posted:Not that I'm aware of, but some people are just really mad that EG is limited access and try to smear the sig at every opportunity. not talking about you, flanders Not claiming this is the case with you personally, but a lot of people don't seem to know that EG used to have an open-door policy to recruitment. I wish we still could, but it reached the point where our numbers spiralled out of control. At our peak we exceeded 1,400 members and every broadcast got almost a full 250-man fleet. It meant that no hostiles would engage us resulting in blueballs for everyone involved. EG now operates with approximately 300 members in the auth group (50 or so of whom are not active members, they're there for visibility purposes), and we purge every few months to ensure those who are in the group are active. What the alliance desperately needs is another EU TZ group, something we've been saying for a long time. The problem is active EU TZ FCs. No squad / SIG is going to survive without content. I've already offered to hand-hold and support the creation of other EU TZ groups (as far as I'm concerned competition is good, and EG would welcome some), but the ingredients needed to make it work just don't exist. Find me some super-motivated EU TZ FC's and leadership-types who are willing to make large sacrifices in their personal time, and I'll help you make another EU TZ squad.

Bonfire Lit posted:I know. But I still believe (and I've also said so on jabber) that a lot of the animosity originates from people who think EG is just another squad, like Theta or Sigma, except with a focus on European players (or at least those playing in a similar time zone). They they apply, get rejected, and are angry because they think they don't meet some arbitrary elitist requirement. If EG was called something else, with no reference to Europe at all, I doubt anyone but the most angry players would bat an eye about not getting in. I'd agree with that. Natural progression over the years has taken EG more in the direction of a SIG than a squad.

I never knew Vile rat so it would be inappropriate for me to comment on matters relating to him personally. But for an event where people roam around in kitchen sink fleets. Killing each other for giggles. It would be pretty lame to bring some elite doctrine fleet that picked off the other participants uncontested. I had a taste of that mindset as the clock passed midnight on a workday and the EG fleet slowly started repairing last nights Revenant. As if some lord überdick felt that this rag tag band peasants where bruising his ego by bringing down something he was tasked with defending and that was just unacceptable to the point where he had to be odered to stop to get him to back off.

EG was there to defend the revenant, it was expected that the nightmares would be swarmed and die horribly in the early part of the fight but theta and reavers were the only ones actually trying to kill them.

Killing each other for giggles. It would be pretty lame to bring some elite doctrine fleet that picked off the other participants uncontested. EG defending the Revenant last night was supposed to be a win-win affair for everyone involved. EG would get to fight horribly outnumbered (kinda our gimmick, and we love a challenge) whilst suiciding a doctrine we have now retired for some insurance money. In return, the entire coalition could get this elitism chip off their shoulder by utterly slaughtering us. I can tell you right now, it doesn't matter how good you are or what ships you're in, nobody takes 190 up against 1,700 and expects to come out alive. We went in to that fight insured and prepared to lose every single ship. Even with nothing but frigates, a small amount of coordination on the part of the other fleets would have completely overwhelmed and decimated us. Instead EG, who went in against impossible odds with the absolute certainty that we would just be giving everyone some free (and very expensive) killmails, came out the other side without having lost a single Nightmare or Tengu, and were made out to be the bad guys. I don't really know what more people wanted from us, but short of sitting there with our modules turned off and singing on comms I honestly don't think we can make it much easier...

You're totally missing the point with your selective reading/comprehending skills. As far as I'm aware EG was meant to defend the Revenant, not rep it. I hope you can see that there's a difference, given the context of the event. 1800 nerds sitting there in lovely tidi, waiting for the shield to finally go down and then EG started rep'ing it. I don't think many people appreciated that.

I also thought the initial broadcast made a few days ago about EG said specifically they were going to be repping it so that it would stay alive long enough for people to get on the killmail.
