I'll move my bump Machariel over since Boney rejected my reapp to miniluv after being purged a while back. Also we clearly need a compression array and a refinery.

If he truely is back it will be interesting to see how the political structure of Goons changes. Will Mittens stay in charge and he will try and change things from the background, will he replace Mittens, or will we see goon civil war as he starts another corp/alliance of goons loyal to him?

I think the more adequate tl;dr is 'looks like spy, asked to provide physical home address, facebook and phone number to prove otherwise'.

Aka 'prove to me you're a real human being and not some fake gmail address created 5 minutes ago to slip a spy into CFC'. CD apps have to provide most of that info, for example - if you have a FB page that has nothing but two random pics posted yesterday, no, sorry PL spy, you're not getting into CD.

Some people don't feel comfortable with giving digi RL info. They don't get to be in CD, which is hardly much of a punishment. I had to give, I think:
- RL name
- RL primary email
- Facebook account (which exposes my love of prog rock via my 'friends' list, eek)
- Twitter handle (I have one but almost never use it).

And about 5 minutes later was told 'yeah you pass'.

I'm pretty sure you could get most of the above info in 5 minutes from Google anyhow, except I'm not the Scottish playwright of the same RL name.

If you stop being a diplomat for an internet spaceship guild, do other diplomats then get to make a Facebook post chastising the choice, and unfriend you?

I think they just go "aight" and assign another diplomat and then co2 get butt hurt about it and whine that the new diplomat isn't an expert on their alliance.

I always see comments about svipuls but never about any of the other tactical destroyers. Are they just the most used because of the 10% bonus to Small Projectile Turret optimal range per skill level thing? Aside from that I don't see much difference between it and say, the Confessor, other than the different defense mode bonuses.

I just want someplace I can run around, learn new things about the game, and train up the skills I need to fly cooler ships while actually doing something fun. I've spent the last 3 days in Saranen in my little t1 frigate because that's all I have out there. Haven't done a single op because it's all stealth bomber fleets and or the fleet left hours before I got on so I just float around in space hoping to break my tackle cherry and get a kill mail.

Nothing quite like having your literacy questioned first thing in the morning (on an internet forum no less).

I just asked if this was a thing, but I mean if you're comfortable with it and all- I feel that says more about you than me. Just my opinion of course.

The alternative would be doing what virtually every other alliance does and not give your RL information to a guy in a video game to play spaceships. Full API? Fine. Giving you more personal information than I give my dry cleaner? Yeah, no.

This has been my first comment about the practice, so I'm not making any hills here...

I just don't really understand the rage about this. It's all voluntary. It's spergy as gently caress and I wouldn't submit to it, but obviously others will and have.

Since I was in leadership in my corporation as well as a super capital FC I needed to get unblacklisted. So I did what I had to, and volunteered my Facebook, Home Address, and phone number to the GSF counter intel group to prove I was not a spy. Which seemed a tad excessive.
