It still is false equivalence because all those SIGs want is for potential recruits to hang out on comms and fleet with them for a bit before formally joining. At no point is anyone inside our coalition ever barred from the opportunity to do so because of their alliance tag.

I think I'm being a lot more civil than you, friend, even if I happen to use the odd homophobic slur for emphasis.

We have people ITT and in Goonwaffe who use the term "Jewing". Getting on people for using homophobic slurs when ironic racism is a thing is a bit of a pot and kettle scenario.

I don't disagree with this sentiment. I also blame all the Euros because it's usually them that cling to that sort of stuff.

The Reddit :fap: over killing a ratting carrier in Deklein is surely a sign that we are doomed and losing this war.

Was that the 4 in 33RB from yesterday?

Also, I got grief from a PH in a svipul for ratting this morning, "this is why you're losing sov". He then went onto say "top kek".

Goons were laughing over those carriers too, because if you are retarded enough to carrier rat with no support during a war, where there are multiple large hostile gangs roaming your space, Darwin is your patron saint.

Not in PL, never been in PL, nor Snigg or anything else that tracks killboard activity, because I am way too inactive to expend the effort to put up some retarded amount of kills to prove I play EVE. Looking at my killboard, I have a whopping 310 or so PVP kills since 2011. I do like to take multi-year sabbaticals from EVE though, so that may be a part of that problem.

Speaking of which, I unsubbed again, maybe I'll get back into it once I'm not living in AUTZ. Years of having little to 0 activity in my TZ has soured me on EVE and it's gonna take a lot to break that.
Yeah, that was my bad :shobon:

That was weird to see itt and the only reason I didn't report it was because I can't. Someone actually got probed for using it recently though so I would hope that it dies out.

There was also the two TMC twitch incidents where Imperium dudes dropped the n-bomb when insulting someone else on air. It's something every group has problems with.

The way it was when I quit a few years ago was that people still used those terms but they were usually shamed for it and sometimes set to read only. I guess it's different now though and I do post way too much LF stuff so it's probably me just being over sensitive but I would love to think that goons at least had higher posting standards than that :saddowns:

I think the only really elite groups that are actually hard to get into in the Imperium are Euro Goons and probably some other niche group I'm forgetting.

Everything else is easy as hell if you have 2 brain cells to rub together. Although there are people out there who unironically consider hole squad an elite inside group so :v:

I'm just curious, when is the last time PL let in a :shobon: newbie because he was a chill dude?

A :shobon: newbie would have no fun in PL - hi new guy we're flying proteuses in this fleet but it's ok if you want to just fly a recon - but would have a whale of a time in PH, so it would be very unfair to them to channel them towards the former.

We've got a guy right now who we know how is really chill and trustworthy but who would have no fun in PL because he couldn't fly any - any - of the doctrine ships. So he is in PH to have fun and learn to play Eve and stuff but is in our irc corp channel and a few guys fly with him a bit on quiet days. Several of us have alts in PH anyway since it's a very different form of Eve with different goals and sometimes you want that change of pace.

Socially he's effectively in corp but he gets broadcasts for fleets that he can actually have fun on. That said, a few of the guys in Bat that came with us were pretty low skill-points, but they were mates and cool and liked playing Eve so along they came.

I came along with NORKdot as a really low sp dude and basically flew dictors and logi for a year, and kept a clone wherever waffles were to fly with them occasionally. Tell him to hang in there and that it gets better, but yeah, it's tough.

I think the forum is retired now but in the thread where that Lilith guy was mauled and other threads at the time there was a lot of ship and fleet question along the lines of "You are facing a hostile MWD HAC armour fleet. What fleet comp would you choose. Elaborate on your answers" With follow up questions.

"I would drop on them in my supercap with at least a dozen friends while not being an idiot on comms."

Was that the right answer?

Does GSF still have the AAA vs PotP-era page on how to insult Russians on the wiki? If so I'd remove it now because that could substantially increase your list of hostiles if some goony mcgoon stumbles across it at the wrong time.

And to their credit... and I can't believe I'm saying this... but TEST have improved markedly in the last 3 years. I still wouldn't want to be around them for too long, mostly because they still stink of redditor, but they're not NEARLY as bad as Boodabooda-era TEST.

I flew with a Swordfleet this weekend whose FC (some british guy in one of the tiny corps GSF let in) kept going on about that, I don't think my delicate sensibilities would fit in in a european alliance.

So how was my first post of PL recruiting established veterans so controversial? I also get that having a supercap isn't an actual requirement, but like you said what fun is it to be in an organization that runs doctrines you can't fly and I always thought PL specialized in capitals first and foremost.
