Vyst set to work to scrape the badposting-rust off of the Goonfleet forums and reveal the stainless steel of goodposting below.

Little did he realise that under the rust was only more rust.

It's pretty simple. I don't want to do eve spacework anymore. I don't play eve. Illum is boring now. I don't care about the meta. I only really cared about it for trolling purposes. Goonfleet.com forums are garbage, and it needs bleach-style moderation of which I'm too soft for.

When do you think they started really going downhill? What would you recommend to fix it other than bleach-style moderation? I've been mostly inactive the last couple years, but I have noticed a difference in the amount and quality of forum posts. I wasn't sure if EVE was just generally more inactive, or people were moving to these threads, r/eve, twitter, slack, and TMC, or what. Having an active jabber is really nice, but a focused, active forum seems important too.

Does this mean we get the iron fist of deadtear back?

The thing about words is that meanings can twist just like a snake, and if you want to find snakes, look for them behind words that have changed their meaning.
Deadtear is the hero we need but not the hero we deserve (and definitely not the hero we will get).

Rumour says that Deadtear demanded all the puns to be handed over for processing or he would not take the job. Sion in turn refused to relinquish the puns.

No. Because like 4 people total like Deadtear and none of them are decision makers. I even recommended him to replace me. I also made a few other recommendations

This is the thread for Eve politics where tryhards can argue over border disputes.

The other is the chill threads where people just relax and have talk about the fun they had.


There are then four other threads for four different goon groups in Eve who are all mostly at odds with one another. Except Groon. Groon are nice and good.

The Tuskers Co. ended up winning the series 3-1 to be crowned the season champions. They earned 45 of the rare Independent Gaming Commission [IGC] Typhoon skins. These were made specially for the Collides tournament in coordination with CCP.

We Form VOLTA, who took 2nd, received 30 skins. Warlords of the Deep, who placed 3rd, received 20 skins. Coming in 4th was Hard Knocks who received 15 skins.

On top of that, each team that didn't make it to the top 4 all received 10 skins.

Below are the VODs of the Grand Finals:

Match 1 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gbaJcJT3x0Q

Match 2 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYs68oUcxLk

Match 3 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1dSSwOuEF4

Match 4 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHpzkxdfeaI

Edit - Ullerm, what are your thoughts on the format for Collides versus the normal AT format? I know you used to be a big nerd about that stuff.

It's deeply telling that we are more concerned over having a good forums mod than we are when FCs leave, than when allies backstab or abandon us, than when senior GSOL people leave, or even when Good Posters depart for r/eve (hi Endie). No, all of those things pale compared to losing the Forums Moderator.

Early reg dates please tell us: does this mean the True Flame of Gooniness yet flickers, and may yet return?

Usually a powerful external enemy leads to the shedding of deadweight and new unity amongst goons. Usually. This time? vOv
