you see they just want the goons to be like the real true goony goons from back in the day

And then even if it happens you know they won't even resub. They'll just think to themselves "ah that's nice" and go back to raging at the shutdown of DPPH.

i was winning eve back then, but it's surprising to know that goon was getting rolled over even worse in fountain war.
from what i can see there just isn't much THIS IS SPARTA kind of thing this time around, mittens and whoever is in charge is just going MEH, we will take the most effortless way out.
How do you figure? Unless I'm misremembering things, the CFC was the attacker in the Fountain war - while it was getting pushed back at one point and came close (IIRC) to losing its staging system, its own space wasn't under threat. This time around it's losing every system it owns and all the destructible in-space infrastructure it's built up over the last few years, and it's had multiple allies effectively destroyed.

So I'm spitballing an idea here. Horde are starting to rat in their gains to raise ADM values. Who amongst you has a neutral alt with cyno 5 you wouldn't mind putting in horde. Who among you can fly a recon/blops/stratios/bomber?

Who thinks open recruitment is a recipe for dead ratters?

Who is interested?

Yes to all of this.

Don't even need cyno 5, just a scout with a cloak so you have a warpin

You likely won't even need that, just d-scan them and tell the tackleceptor next door which belt/anomaly to warp to.

You know. When I coined the phrase "summer children for this conflict. I was not talking about MBC members who were about to be hellwar-ed. I was talking about Imperium members who joined after the Halloween war. Who came for the free sov in unassailable space. As opposed to the people who conquered that space and made it unassailable in the first place.

Sure, but the phrase also does describe members of the MBC who joined for the ~elite pvp~ dank frags too. Few people on either side have ever done something like this.

Wasn't this what Endie and others were saying a while back but were laughed out of the room/told to leave/whatever it was that happened?

IIRC, it wasn't about rebuilding GSF or something. The thing that made people go "lol wut no" was wanting to belly up to Reddit and whore ourselves on their altar.



Denis posted:

not reform. There was other ceo's before and hopefully will be in future. Mittani was the best at keeping the empire runing smoothly all this years, i have my doubts about rebuilding it.

everyone can make his own opinions, i would actually like to see a proper GoonSswarm rise again, and less of the imperium crap.

You can have your own opinion, but it's based on lies told by hypocritical redditor leadership and is stupid. The Mittani is the one who rebuilt the entire thing after Kartoon hosed off with the wallet. So, yea.

Also, making GBS threads in their cereal is pretty goony. Especially the more the unwashed pubbie masses scream for his removal.

Thank you for all the replies. That makes things a little easier to understand. The lowest I've been through currently was a 0.5 system.

I had wondered if having SAforums in my name and going to a system might cause people to be mean to me but it hasn't happened yet! I have seen people mentioning goons again and again though.

I would just like the work day to be over please.

Most of them are too confused to link "Goon" and "SA" together. And most of the ones who can manage that think all goons are in GSF and that we all pay :10bux: a month to Mittani to post here, at Something Awful: A Spaceship Game Forum.

That's what the enemy wants. The enemy wants goons to play this game, so we are going to deny them by not playing this game. Puppet mastered again.

If you joined now and stuck around then you would be a winter child because now it's winter. Summer ended about 3 weeks ago.

Remember that time that TEST brought a fleet that had zero chance of winning to the 6vdt armour timer? Remember how we all commended them for their heroic last stand? Remember how we absolutely didn't call them idiots for the following year for wasting what little money/materiel they had left on a leeroy into our six mega fleets?

Yes because giving a send off to a home that goons have lived in for so long has no value whatsoever, nope, none at all
