I would like to speak to the manager about the socialists, please
I remember it being a huge deal my friend had an IBM and a copy of Doom. We were going a little nuts while playing it and his dad came down and kicked him off, so he could play.

So Aura is saying "hey you should try out this new Skill Injector thing, if ya want." From what I gather it's basically cutting about a week or so of training out? Worth it to get some of the basic stuff out of the way, or does it have a "pay to win" stigma attached to it?

Oh yeah, I totally understand why you guys did what you did. It makes sense to me.

But apparently, someone put me in the RC ban list, with the exact reason as well. Meaning that barring that, it would have been VERY tough for someone to figure out why I was kicked, I didn't say anything on it. then, to top that off, someone posted it in public at one point. Though the PL dudes who saw it didn't really care.

mate, you seem to be a pretty cool dude, but why did you have to do such retarded poo poo just because Tib treated you badly in fleet?

you have been in goonfleet for 6 years and worked for gs-burnout-ol for gently caress sake, tell him to gently caress himself on the spot then make up (or don't) later, it's a shame really

unless you were drunk out of your minds then

No, unless you do something like inject enough to fly capitals in your first week of eve and die like a retard. As long as you can afford it go hog wild.

Not ships but the supercap situation is essentially that this is the winter war. We are the Soviet Union. They are Finland.

Except that they also outnumber us.

Britain versus France prior to Trafalgar, with goons being France. Britain/non-goons have a decidedly superior fleet and have the enemy fleet mainly bottled up in port, unable to do anything of consequence, but there hasn't yet been a decisive battle in which they've been able to exploit that superiority to crush the enemy.

Because of this, we've chosen to ban Kismeteer from Goonswarm Federation.

I'm not going to try to spin this one way or the other -- the situation is too polarizing to really affect one way or the other. However, like Dear Leader always says, "sunlight is the best disinfectant." Hopefully this will bring some much-needed context to the proceedings.

In that case, I hope Kismeteer will shine lots of sunlight on what it's been like working at the top of Goonswarm Federation and the Imperialim for the last 3 months - there must be a lot more secrets he can reveal now he has nothing to lose.

It's pretty clear there was not going to be any chance to use the Dread Cache - reminds me a lot of an IJN battle plan from WW2. You're waiting so long for the perfect conditions for the decisive battle and you're actually fighting the wrong war.


evilweasel posted:

ahahahahahahahaha does anyone in the entire game think they'd dare put their supers on field without pl/nc there on their side

So the plan to keep the fleet in being was more important that actually using it, and now it's too late. General McClellan would be proud of such a strategy. Anyone in the entire game includes the Imperialim. You've spent half a decade building up the Superfleet, and only got a chance to use it in 2 big battles (Asakai and BR-), neither of which was when you actually needed it to survive.

This needs to be done I think. Has he made any correct decisions this year? Hell, he's broken a dozen rules he himself wrote in Sins of a Spymaster. He needs to step down, dissolve the alliance and drop the mike. Right now, it's the best way to end this story. He walks off stage into the embrace of his wife and the credits roll.
