I see him idle in gs_isk sometimes. In five years of knowing him I've only heard his voice once. He is a hard man to get ahold of.

As for "holesquad and being useful," yeah, I'd really like to be able to take my high sp characters out of wormhole space and do things but FCON (among others) is retarded and won't give us standings. Nobody in hole violence can go on mainfleet ops because of this.

Purge FCON. Give FCONs space to hole squad to rent out. We can enslave former FCON members and make them defend the space in fozziesov. No docking rights obviously. They can base out of low sec.

Also BOS deserved to get purged. Their stratop numbers were terrible over the last two months, especially when they were needed most! On top of that, many members were shaking this "true goon" sentiment which is hilarious because we all know that goons are circa 2007 SA members that only post in the eve thread. Nice try BOS.

I'm so goddamn mad I posted this improperly as a separate thread. I apologize to the mods for my retardation. But anyway...

I want to be mad at those faggots in FCON for loving up our fun this year, but I honestly think that there has to be more to it.

Excuse me while I don my tinfoil cap.

I bet it's related to the bullshit name change from Clusterfuck Coalition to Imperium. It's CLEARLY geared to make us more palatable to the gaming audience as a whole. Less dirty words in our group name, contracting our massive cockprint on the EVE universe, expeditions into other games (all with developer support), and now this. We are having our goonish culture neutered so that Mittens and Company can take his little Internet empire into the mainstream.

I'm sticking around only because of the Special Group That Shall Not Be Named. At least OUR culture remains pure and hostile to all pubbishness.

I think I should print and frame this post. I adore everything about it. The next time a True Flamer pops up, we can simply c&p this to them as they wail about their transcendent gooniness, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing~

He is/was in D-P-G (which apparently just got purged, right?). He also is/was hanging out in Theta comms. Someone should package his voice into pill form and sell it off as sleep medicine or something.

Join Freestyle Cyclists and help repeal Australia's unjustified Helmet laws.

Studies have shown cars travel much closer to cyclists wearing helmets, arguably increasing the risk of an accident.
I'm not sure I gave EVE a proper go my first time around, I hung out with SV a bit a did some main fleet stuff learning to fly a Sabre (which mostly ended with me in a pod trapped in my own bubble) but I just didn't really have enough time to stay with it.

I thought with limited time I might make a few alts/buy some characters and try the spy experience or something different. Is it worth getting into corps/alliances we aren't ever at war with? Is there a sweet spot for the size of a corp I should look for?

FWIW I'm kinda sad the directorate is pushing hard to kill off SV by pulling reimbursement. Syndicate is an absolute poo poo for making money - it doesn't have Guristas, Serpentis, Angel, or Sansha missions, like Venal, Fountain, Curse, or Stain. Syndicate LP is available in the S-U pocket, and kind of lovely. I guess the SV moon empire needs to ride again.

Vyst did a long rear end post about it a while back but the gist is yes, they can be naturalized. I think it requires that they either be demonstrably useful, have a near spotless record and be significantly more active (both in game and on SA) than your average :10bux: goon.

Thank you.


Also please don't kill Hole Squad I like it here. It is also going to fund my cap pilot in GSF proper so I can ~contribute~ due to wormhole PvE being lucrative and tolerable.

On the upside, if Holesquad got purged after Space Violence I could officially have 0 regrets about going fuckgoons. Just saying.

ullerrm posted:

That's 99% of it. HS prides themselves on being strong independent brutor women who don't need no coalition. This rubs some people the wrong way.

Realtalk: I encountered 0 amount of this attitude when I was in Holesquad, but plenty of "gee I wish we were blue to everyone so we could pop out of the hole and do stratops". Being out of GSF was due to practical reasons of wormholers evicting every iteration of Holesquad as soon as they saw that GSF ticker on a POS. That happened 4 or 5 times.
