Here's another fact:

I let you off easy with the forex poo poo and took no end of heat because of it but you were an entitled baby who couldn't get it.

You're not allowed to run for CSM anymore because it turned out the leaders you're defending now got buyer's remorse and you're at best Aryth-lite. That's what I was told.

Feel free to "call me out on my poo poo". Nobody's stopped you so far but also so far all I see is half assed giant baby insinuations.

The awful thing about reddit is: unpopular opinions disappear because of the downvote mechanism so it can be tough to call people on bullshit if they're being propped up by a hate mob.

For example examine this exchange with Xenuria

https://www.reddit.com/r/Eve/comments/42co46/im_darius_johnson_former_ceo_of_goonswarm_csm_1/cz9dhe5

Normally reddit is quite accepting of Xenuria in a trolling fashion yet here he is being massively downvoted for asking to see a shred of evidence after being accused of some pretty have duty poo poo.

Having no idea who Xenuria is (I was in goonswarm for like a month) wouldn't other people be able to be able to post logs or substantiate what DJ has said?

Furthermore, I agree -- why not just dump all the logs and proof you have of everything and let people chew on that awhile?

I actually have no idea who most of the people DJ posts about are, but if its his general feeling that the thing that exists today is different from the thing that existed before, and he doesn't like that, I guess that's his opinion and that's okay right? He says this all got started over something Sion posted (I have no idea who that is either), but I agree with anyone who say she should dump any logs that support his case.

Darius has this huge rear end in a top hat persona but sometimes i think he forgot it was a persona. Goons have it better until mittani by far even if it's corporate and boring.

The Bob play was stuff of eve legends but the rest of his ceoship stank.

It was a joke you were too stupid to get because you believed the same troll I put in the New York Times.

I assume you're Darius, and I was never in goons while you were in charge and really wasn't after either, but why not just post all the logs you have of the bad stuff you've said people have done and put an end to the arguments?

Like I believe you wouldn't show up after such a long time just to take the piss out of people and kick up sand, but as someone who wasn't there I am curious as to what actually happened and supporting evidence helps with that. :v:

The show us the evidence troll is ridiculous whether it's posted because you got caught cheating or because you don't like the fact that everything you believed about your poo poo was made up.

Xenuria has been given the opportunity to provide me with the evidence (I can't get it) and I openly stated I may have been incorrect EVEN in the original statement.

Having to point out that a cocksucker like that who you all rightfully poo poo all over because he's a loving poo poo of a person with a long history of unfunny lies and annoyances is pretty telling.

I like Darius a lot in spite of his recent badposting. But if we're relitigating history let's also pause to remember the moment when he banned the creator of EVEThing and Goonmetrics (Tazuki) because Tazuki had bought a freighter alt from someone else who was later banned for RMT. He proceeded to roundly mock people on the public boards who were mad about this, but then later rescinded the bans after admitting that their RMT ban process hadn't actually checked for legitimate character sales.

Good times were had by all.

i don't think anyone is talking about your side of the BoB disbanding dude

like, i think you're probably right about that, but the sum of the damage you're insinuating is "the mittani didn't have as much to do with the disbanding as a comic book made him out to"

which, y'know, okay, sounds unironically legit, thanks for clearing it up

we're talking about the sion animename stuff primarily because that is where it sounds like you're just making poo poo up

I'm not questioning that mittens definitely took credit for some of the poo poo you did, which is what most of the links you made point to. I'm not even questioning what you've said about past goonswarm glories or your leadership or how you liked to do things because I believe you.

What I DO question is when someone makes a direct accusation against someone but then just expects people who are otherwise completely neutral to believe it. I don't loving know ANY of the people you've mentioned on reddit or here but if you say they're poo poo I'd like to at least know why. That's all I'm saying. Typically people here respond better to accusations with proof, is all I'm saying, and a lot of people like me were never privvy to the round table discussions and inner dealings of whatever the gently caress was going on.

Also you seem like a swell guy but if you were tired of talking about dumb space bullshit maybe you should have stayed in retirement instead of making a lot of big posts on other websites about dumb space bullshit. Also please lay off the martyr thing it's kind of silly. I know doing EVE space stuff is a thankless job but you volunteered didn't you?

I mean, you complained that Tamir doesn't get credit but he specifically got credit and is a major character in the dumb comic book that was really the only thing that badly mangled what happened (and that was largely because it was limited to some tiny amount of words, and then what was told was heavily modified to fit a comic book).

Nobody's been shorted of credit except maybe Graham, who I think gets forgotten because he quit cold turkey pretty shortly afterwards so he wasn't around to jog people's memory (and because doing the logistic stuff tends to get forgotten as it just doesn't make for the fun stories to tell people when you're not trying to write like an ~official history~). I know what he did though because he was specifically credited in the Wired article (I think) that was written afterwards, something like doing so many towers he told someone that all the bowls were in reinforced in the dishwasher. Xttz is still around and never gets shorted credit though he never speaks up for himself because he's continued to do crazy things, like being the person who realized what Fun With Chemistry could do to Test (several people knew about the corp, only xttz realized you could do more with it than swipe ozone from test stations for cynos).

I also thought extremely poorly of you after being a director during Darius 2.0 but I've generally avoided badmouthing you until now. But if you want to complain that i'm badmouthing you where you can't reach, don't badmouth our stuff on places anything i post will be moderated out or downvoted into invisibility.

Invoking your time at CCP to enhance your authority on game development, security, CSM/CCP interactions - makes sense and works.

Invoking your time at CCP to enhance your authority with respect to player discipline - marks you as either a sycophant as someone puffing their reputation with BS to win an internet argument. Players do not have inside knowledge of CCP, but they do get to see the player discipline process.It is a joke. If you think spouting off about what you know from the discipline process makes you look good, you don't have a clue.

I know almost nothing about Weasilor beyond that he has a serious big boy job IRL. Wanting to tack on CSM responsibilities to that seems surprising. So your attempt at a put down by suggesting he was not nominated by the directors to be the CSM rep because they don't respect him is strange. Especially since this year they are backing Xeneria.

Yeah like 95% of the facts in Darius' history of the BoB disband are known to the common goon, they aren't ever really glossed over except (apparently) by the True Stories / comic book. I never read the comic book so I didn't notice! But I knew just about everything in Darius' Reddit post just from reading the published histories, the original BIG ANNOUNCEMENT thread, and listening to the YouTube about it a long time ago. I don't think anyone is trying to rewrite history here.

CCP released new faction warfare mechanics

these gave LP payouts when you killed FW ships based on the value of the ship you killed

The people mentioned above realized this was hilariously exploitable, told CCP, and were told 'nah bro it's good'

So they set the value of a few lovely implants no one uses, filled freighters with them, killed them on different alts, and proceeded to wallow in the money they printed.

Then they posted about it before nuking the value of LP forever, thus ruining mission running as a profession.
