he didn't think of it first, Somer was really the first big one and he got banned because he did exactly that (though "legally" at first, and then less legally the second time).

I think the Imperium/CFC want to remain a big power it should seriously work on its image. Industry grade organization, lack of drama, services, space socialism and opportunities to participate in every kind of gameplay offered by EVE should be advertised more. Probably implied rather than advertised.

you can't operate in sov null without doing this in the age of Aeigus sov.

I completely understand that the directorate is making decisions based on continuing to run the alliance in a way that we have all grown very used to. The last 4 years of GSF have been completely stable and well managed for the most part. Fozzie sov has thrown that all into chaos as we can see now. My problem is that TMC has inherently invested Mittani into making decisions on how to run the alliance that feels to me at odds with the interests of players who originated from SA. I'm not a very active player so my perspective may be completely off point here. What is depressing, however, is the realization that the future of GSF is now tied to TMC and attempts to expand GSF beyond its identity of a SA based spaceship guild. I don't see another future where we restart in a way we did after losing Delve in the sov fuckup. As lovely as that moment was, those falls do have a way of being organizational shakeups that might actually be healthy for alliances. GSF, when we held Delve, had some structural problems and losing all our space allowed us to develop in ways that might never had happened if we HADN'T lost all our sov. Nowadays with TMC interests involved in alliance decision making policy, I feel like drastic reorganization decisions are basically impossible. Policy is being determined by what is most likely to work according to fozzie sov game mechanics. I am just not sure that makes for the most enjoyable game experience for SA members.

SA is dying and I understand why one might want to make us less reliant on this forum as the core of the alliance. It's just sad to see the top level reaction to something that years ago would have been overwhelmingly praised and embraced with enthusiasm. It really shows how far removed we our from what we used to be.

you are the old guard now. groups like horde, brave (actually I don't think brave have thrown their hat into this as of right now), MAYBE test though they're pretty old now too, etc. are doing to you what you did to BoB

This is not a new thing. If you start going "wow, look at all this poo poo I could totally steal if I wanted to", there is a non-zero chance you're probably gonna steal something. We've always done this to directors who start doing this.

You very frequently attribute motiviations and goals to us that aren't true. So, hey, if you want to start doing that that would be interesting. And even if you did start (you won't), that doesn't make me wrong.

didnt some russian guy get caught using eve for low level money laundering or something?

So, since the Imperium is getting it's rear end handed to it because some shady shitlords are throwing more money at the unwashed masses that the Imperium has poo poo on for the war than the Imperium shitlord leadership is willing to throw at the dwindling number of people they haven't poo poo on, they start the distraction and hatchet jobs articles hoping to choke off the money supply and saive their poo poo filled empire of shitlers and shitlords.
