So have there actually been any alliance updates for Goonswarm or whatever recently? All things considered, and only going from what I can see in this thread, ~the directorate~ has been p quiet lately.

Its coming up to fanfest so things generally quiet down during these big official meet ups. Other than that not much has really changed on the surface to probably warrant an alliance up date this soon that is not covered in meta show or fireside chats

Its also more like 30-35 people (for each individual practice) to do regular purely inhouse practices once you get into having multiple teams with alternates for various setups. And it takes away highly skilled FCs due to the time requirements. And this is just the practices themselves, not the logistics involved in getting the practices set up if CCP doesn't do password secured practice systems with fully stocked markets like they did the one year and doesn't include the spying on enemy teams practicing type stuff that goes on. Its a pretty big investment to do AT stuff like the top teams. As fun as it is to compete, I'm kinda glad groon has no plans to do it this year.

abigserve posted:Yeah but wormhole mechanics completely fucks any large scale retaliation and it also eliminates supers from the equation. Can you imagine trying to get goons out of a wormhole without popping the exit? I can't honestly imagine doing anything wh related with the entirety of GSF. Hole squad, sure, but lol at anything else

How did they hack the client and to what result?

Killmails aren't generated and posted to the API like they are for Tranquility, so they made a program that bruteforced the scraping of all kills on Singularity so they could find out where people were training and what their fits were etc. Kadesh had a long post whining about how it wasn't fair that match fixing wasn't permitted and that if he didn't do it PL surely would have etc. This of course came after he was permabanned from AT tournaments and some of his cohorts were given bans for the next AT. Oh and they admitted Garmon, who was permabanned by CCP, was account sharing. http://failheap-challenge.com/showthread.php?20287-Don-t-let-your-dreams-be-dreams Mekchu fucked around with this message at 13:41 on Apr 19, 2016 |

God drat you guys are rich. a lot of them will say their game is funded by market but there is such a fundamental difference in temperament required by PVP and market that I don't believe it ever. What makes more sense is grinding high level PVE instead.

It would take probably a year, but taking over the C5 highway would lead to goonswarm becoming like rats constantly emerging from the walls. the downside is I think CCP would nerf wormhole space hard if GSF moved into it.

I don't see how fielding two teams (thus diluting their talent) or fixing the finals match (after both teams already beat PL) could in any way have benefited them over PL? As far as the sisi scraper is concerned, oh well, it's all in the metagame. The last AT Goonswarm participated in, we somehow magically were hardcountered by PL when we played them, because they spied on our AT forums. Point is for an ~elite pvp~ organization, they do an awful lot of crying to daddy when they don't like their 3rd place participation PLEXes.

I think now it's more important than ever to remember what Goons are... we are Social Justice Warriors. I can't think of a better time to remind people of the principle and foundation of our ideology. What does that mean? It means our enemies need to Check Their Privilege - remind them in local, convo them. The odds are you're talking to a white male so tell him the Truth. Tell him he comes from a world of racism and misogyny even if he doesn't know it. He's an invisible oppressor, a machine of micro-aggressions. If you find out you're talking to an oppressed person, a Female or someone with Brown Skin, remind them that their ancestors were oppressed and show them that they are being abused by their white male handlers in an unrelenting manner, give them no rest! In this way we can divide the enemy forces and break their morale! Put a spy in Horde (EASY), join their IRC, and compare their 'war' to the genocide of the noble Native American Peoples and the Holocaust of the Jews. How is that related? They'll ask. It is related, white men invaded Native American Homelands, took it for themselves saying patronizing things the entire time like "you traded us this land for beads and blankets." Fools! Our enlightened minds have no concept of ownership or property! --- Does this not sound like the conquest of Fade Does the systematic annihilation of 18 million Jews in Europe, not remind you of the conquest of Deklein? Will you sit there quietly as the invaders take our ratting space and turn us into lamp shades and bars of soap? ??? I've already begun to fight the true and noble fight for goons and for somethingawful.com , everyday in game and in real life insults and abuse are hurled at me. But I do not falter, i am a social justice warrior! The bigots reply with this http://webm.land/media/0Jqr.webm "Simple fools" I laugh to myself - as they confirm their hate. I find peace in myself knowing that I fight for all that is just in this world! I fight for social justice! Rise goon SJWs, follow me into battle!

I'm happy for the build cost changes to dreads. According to sisi they're 10% above carriers and FAXes. Sounds like a no-brainer to me, that dreads are the sweet spot for DPS and cost. They're also simple to use, compared to icon mess that is fighter UI.
