Arrgytehpirate posted:What is the viceroy thing question mark The viceroy program is a shakedown of neighbors, and forceful eviction if they don't pay protection. Think of Germany, with Hitler extorting Poland, and pressuring Czechoslovakia and Austria. Blowback is a bitch though. Poland teamed up with neighbors forming an alliance (Low Sec Voltron) to fight against Germany, and won some skirmishes. Germany's rivals then smelled blood in the water, and attacked, opening up an Eastern Front. Without the corps of Manstein, Rommel and Guderian, (Vily and Vee) Germany was now punching above its weight, while facing Zhukov, Konev, Malinovsky, Bagramyan, and Vasilevsky (PGL, Vily, and every other PVP alliance joining the gangbang).

I'm quite sure that "building a coalition to fight back against goon aggression" was one of the preferred outcomes of the Viceroy programs when Mittens first announced it.

Until it falls apart due to conflicts between all the coalitions in the game trying to accomplish a single goal while also lacking a strong central ledership that or they overcome and we get murdered and we have to scratch out a whole new section of space for ourselves which i'd be cool with tbh since that'd involve hella guerilla warfare which is basically all im trained for

I can work with that. It's a game. There was much fun had with drinking and chestbeating to be had for ages in EvE. Don't know what I was expecting when I took something titled a "fireside chat" to be a bit more down-to-earth than a full-on SOTA propaganda / narrative message or whatever other modes for fun blurfing there are. I was wrong in my assumptions. To address "edgelord," what part of taking something at face value is edgy? These forums have, since I've subbed, tended to appreciate earnest posting, even if it is bad.

Potato Salad posted:Wasn't CO2 supposed to lose a lot of members in the 48-72 hours after their departure from the Imperium? Yeah I'm going to be that guy that speaks dissent at this moment. But the primary movers in Co2 have always had a culture unto themselves, the two most likely alliances to break that would keep their memberships fairly intact are them and init. The expectation that they'd shatter like most CFC alliances when leadership made the break was simply unrealistic. This is unlike lawn/sma/bastion etc who's culture can basically summed up by one of those catfish you buy for your fishtank, all they do is suck garbage off the walls all day.

It's because goons, particularly eve goons, enjoy the sound of pubbies wailing and gnashing their teeth more than anything else. As best i can tell the entire point of almost everything goonwaffe does is to make as many eve players as miserable as possible.

He did a pretty good job and got invited into Karmafleet were he has managed to not get kicked until today. And because we are here to ruin the game for everyone else we put him also onto our CSM ballot.

Robo Reagan posted:which is basically the opposite of most goon guilds in games now In themepark mmo's you are ALMOST correct, because almost 15 years of constant MMO development fighting "Griefer" behavior has really put a damper on things. Yet I guarantee you there is a GW2 and STO thread right now whining about goons on their official forums. In pretty much every sandbox game/mmo we are pretty awful to the people we encounter. In ark we locked down a whole server, when we got bored we sent roving wolfpacks from server to server, not to assert dominance but to simply break whatever the "Alpha group" of that server was, then gently caress off. Our methods were often "Dishonorable". We made pubbies pay is tribute to not burn their poo poo down. In black desert goons have found all sorts of fun ways to gently caress with pubbies. Lets just say a lot of people have been drowning lately and leave it at that.
