evilweasel posted:tbf we explicitly embrace historical revisionism and writing our vanquished enemies out of history No we don't. When I joined I was told that is exactly what he was. I don't appreciate you inferring he was anything more, whomever you are.  grumplestiltzkin posted:no, but that doesn't mean that i can't point out that calling your empire the latin word for "the government" isn't lazy and dumb. This is a very bad translation, though I'd totally be down with Mittens granting writs of imperium, and defining Directors by their relative auctoritas (Namamai/Flanders) and potestas (whoever pays SRP) Numismancer posted:Scott Manley's video has gotten us a ton of new backers today, but if I had my druthers I'd go back in time and strip out anything me-related the ~experts~ suggested we use, knock the asking price down to 40k or so, and say that more money = more writing time for Jeff and see what folks want. But I don't have time travel powers so whatevs, and the ultimate responsibility is mine because I could have listened to my gut and put my foot down to stop it. Maybe Mittani Media could pay Endie to write hilarious fan-fic about the early history of Goonwaffe. Glory of Arioch posted:the tl;dr is that all of nullsec becomes vassals to us Is there a link to a SoundCloud or something? I don't see anything in the War Room. Endie posted:It sounded like it was still very much at the concept stage but probably pretty much what you imagine: turn up in a region with tax-gatherers, demand rent, send imperium fleets to entosis/siege the ones who don't pay up, rinse, repeat. In other words, Reavers writ large? Glory of Arioch posted:if ccp gave me a heapin helpin of my own druthers, reactions would become a separate RAM activity with a new set of slots that characters train, and a separate industry cost index I think reprocessing should be the same thing. Instant reprocessing kills my immersion.

I just follow accounts who are either suppliers of interesting articles and/or who are habitual goodposters. My twitter feed is a wonderland of good Internet content, or at least of the internet content I like. But yeah i was being a bit facetious about "Interesting and Informative." I could have written "nobody wants to read your stupid shitpost, so why would you hashtag it?"

Finally SA isn't redirecting me to some lovely iPhone app (I think my cell got some sort of virus). Anyway, even though the plans for this colonization thing hasn't started, is it ok for use to go ahead and started extorting areas for trial runs?

Like we told scooter, "We love the gumption, but cool it until things are a little more defined." As for spending a percentage of your cut, no real need to SRP coalition forces but we are looking at letting you pay off one of your vassals with isk or favor in order to form a colonial militia.

Samahiel posted:Like we told scooter, "We love the gumption, but cool it until things are a little more defined." I would just want my region extorted in style - if you die your kill mail looks like it belonged in the yacht club. Plus I would like to make "muscle work" more profitable than sitting in a haven and ask ratting. Edit: SRP is more than enough but sometimes people just like seeing ~numbers in their wallet~ to feel accomplished and I would be willing to do that is what I'm trying to say I guess.

One delightful thing early surveys have turned up is how fast the rest of nullsec will turn on their neighbors in exchange for a lighter yoke or a star on their cap.

Technically BoB's old goal - once we spewed their director forums for all to see, was never to conquer the galaxy - it was to hurf a bunch of blurfs and set off a Great War which they then gloriously win to prove their utter dominance. We ruined that plan by winning, and they never got beyond feudalism as a system of government. This will be more entertaining, we suspect. We'd never try to conquer the whole galaxy anyway, being killed in your sleep by the mafiya is no one's idea of a good time.

So i've been lazy and haven't jumped back into goons yet while I dick around with industry. Does anybody have good advice on where/how to buy minerals/ore. Also miniluv showed up in Sinq Laison and killed 5 of my friends doing an ice mining op. Absolutely wonderful to see. They still refuse to tank their ships. In Brapelille.

Venom Snake posted:http://crossingzebras.com/the-imperium-and-the-road-to-serfdom/ lol I like how it starts off with quote:The need for the Imperium ceased over a year ago, with the release of Phoebe. N3 disintegrated while NC. and PL both lost the majority of their rental empires. Even if every major power in nullsec combined their forces, they likely wouldn’t have the strength to defeat the Imperium. So what is the point in its continued existence? As if all of the people we've curbstomped over the years wouldn't reform into poo poo voltron the minute we disbanded the CFC and fire off an invasion. Did no one pay attention to what happened when TEST went it alone? A single big alliance was picked apart by a dozen vultures before a real war was even declared.

Apparently the Imperium is in some sort of indeterminate state where we're both utterly invincible yet one small step from catastrophic collapse... It's hilarious to watch.
