J4lp weren't allied until the sotg and that guy had been pinged several times as 'don't buy from him'. It's always been on you to make sure your poo poo is done right. It's also good to hear you weren't actively trying to gently caress anyone over so I'm sure you'll be fine.

Xolve posted:

You should probably never buy anything from J4LP, ever. It will more than likely be fitted wrong.

It's kind of their thing.


loving poo poo. Its hard to keep track of who the gently caress is and isnt allied at any given time, and who is known contract scammers. I don't even like buying contract ships from Karma, but half the time they're the only ones with ships up. Too much to keep track of when you're falling asleep at the keyboard and last minute reshipping for a fleet as its racing to undock.

Keep in mind anyone can assign contracts to your corporation (including hostiles). You should be clicking the issuer's name on the contract to verify the seller is blue. Not checking that is how those 100mm plated battleship/t3 losses happened.

I went fuckgoons cause it was a funny thing to do and to get some laffs (I can't even really remember why - a few months later I moved to a new country so that's what I remember from that year), but that was like 4 years ago; time flies.

You'd have to really have your head in the sand to think that GSF is actually "goony" anymore. I don't want to get into the "true goon" bullshit, but the reality is that GSF is now majority pubbies; not that these are bad pubbie, many of these corps like MRCHI and the TCF guys have a really long and great bro history with goons stretching back 10 years, but they still aren't SA-sourced "goons." When I look on evemaps, which is cold, hard numbers, the biggest corp is now the reddit one, not goonwaffe, which has slightly over 3k characters in a 17k character alliance. Even if I give the benefit of the doubt to GSF and say that another 3000 of the characters are goon alts in altcorps, it still means that GSF is 2/3rds pubbies.

While I'm not going to try to find info on the GSF/GS goon/pubbie historical ratio, from a somewhat outside perspective it looks to me like GSF isn't really a goon alliance anymore, but rather just a big eve alliance which has a decent-sized goon component at it's center. To compare with this, TEST, which is another external community alliance, has Dreddit consisting of over 40% of it's membership (and even more - closer to 80% - if I use the same altcorp math I used for GSF).

The conclusion that I'd probably draw from this is that GSF likely traded the idea of being a true goon alliance (sourcing the majority of alliance members from SA) for nullsec longevity and power in EVE. Just looking through the GSF corps on evemaps one gets the idea that over the past 5 years GSF has hoovered up corps from various failed/broken allies in order to maintain a certain bulk and strength.

The SV deployments to Syndicate and then the stealth bomber poo poo we did after back then was pretty drat sweet. My name in-game was Joba Korako, and after reading the new stuff going down I think I'm gonna roll up my sleeves and come back as well. The UI sure has been overhauled to some degree from what I last remembered, re-learning this game is gonna be a proper nightmare.

I don't wanna die,
I sometimes wish I'd never logged in at all.

So you close all my sockets and extend downtime?
So your server will lag out and leave me to die?
