Well you see when he wasn't playing or having anything to do with us he ate heaps of abuse. Or something.

I'm starting to be convinced that you can't be a Goonfleet CEO without being a little bit broken.

I wish you would have just put out a real talk reason for why you were leaving, zephyrine, but I guess admitting to being bored and burning out on space work isn't a compelling reason in the face of high-level spies nailing themselves on crosses for all to marvel at. Gotta get on their level to make friends in the new crew I guess, though I think just being honest and open about your reasons would have made you enough friends anyways?

Oh, the network slogan is true -- "watch FOX and be damned for all eternity!"

Yes, poor abused souls. Mittens personally arrives at their house every morning, starts Eve and Jabber, logs them in, and holds them at gunpoint while they work.

It's pretty boring. Basically, imagine gsfops with less random whining and more TMDC corporate shares being handed out.

Every 12 hours, Mittens sticks his head in for 30 minutes to make sure everything's still running without him, and then disappears to the club. As soon as he's gone, we breathe a sigh of relief and go back to making pegging jokes. Atrum makes hourly reports on how many reimbursement requests he's denied that hour. I pick random fits from EFT and post it in the channel to see how many groans it produces; today, it was a hull-tanked Pilgrim. Aryth describes the thrill of cornering the Jita market for high heels. Asher comments on the half-hour avatar hairstyling regime that is mandatory for continued membership in Reavers; after a few minutes of that, Nymblar sighs and arranges for a daily freighter run to Jita to supply Reavers with adequate hair spray and concealer. Mirana and Twizzlespark report on the 52 wormholes they checked today in search of a Razor fleet. Querns mentions that he just got high; he does that roughly every two hours.

Occasionally, DBRB posts a link to something funny, and we all click it. Sometimes it's an animated gif of a dancing cat; sometimes it's a dumb Reddit post; sometimes, it's a soundcloud of Gobbins yelling at a phorde FC that just got bombed, telling him that he's not allowed to FC feroxes anymore and is restricted to frigate fleets until further notice. Whatever it is, a DBRB link is a guaranteed sensible chuckle.

I'd love to know what this "shady poo poo" is, if it's some stupid catfight in illum or whatever, :nallears:, but if it's some ridiculous internal org rot that's going to eat the alliance then it needs to be outed unless you feel like loving everyone else who doesn't know about it and stares at you like an old man yelling at a cloud.

The shady truth is that Mittens is actually not a horny white boy and Sion is the one doing the pegging.
But :ssh: don't tell anyone.

FruitNYogurtParfait posted:

it cant be the former because she wasnt actually space important, just someone who ran a jf service

You're usually not that stupid. She may not have been illum important, but the JF service certainly was and the service provided was stellar. I for one, am trully sad to see Zepherine go even though we are not friends. I wish her luck wherever she may go and if ever I'm about to kill on of her JF and she lets me know, you can be damned sure I will let it go (One time offer only, the others after are fair game)

Maneck posted:

There is a bunch of drama about nonsense about insulting leadership.

Wholly apart from that, black listing GSF members who have gone to Ph is a good idea. It will remain so for the foreseeable future.

I think blacklisting is a step too far imo. Zepherine and the other JF people moved over 70T isk worth of stuff with absolutely no complaint. If she had wanted to do damage on her way out, she could have done so. And imho, stealing from line members is more hurtful than stealing the alliance wallet. She hasn't done it and the post she made was on goonfleet only. In my opinion, she's leaving in good terms and I can't begrudge her that.

God speed Zepherine.


Fake Edit: The whole thing about calling people who leave retards and other unkind words, stopped being funny even before the first time it was done. If you truly want to be an rear end to someone, be an rear end to me, Despera or some other poor sod who deserve it. Not one of the person who was going out of her way to make our lives as easy as possible.

Friend Videogames, if you want to go on a truly special sightseeing trip, there's a system called New Eden (that the EVE galaxy was named after) that contains the EVE Gate, a supermassive (now collapsed) wormhole that, lorewise, was the original stargate bringing people to this part of the universe before it all broke. The Eve Gate collapsed wormhole is rather pretty to look at, and it's worth seeing at least once for story reasons if nothing else. Warning: It is in lowsec, meaning that other players can shoot you, but the constellation of lowsec it's in is isolated from any other areas of lowsec, so people are less likely to be there since it's a dead-end. The last high-sec system before making the run is Imya. You could probably make the run in a shuttle.

I killed some miners last few days.
If you require more mining space I can kill the miners around you little rock so the belts are all yours.

Watch me try to laugh this title off like the dickbag I am.

I also hang out with racists.
Umokka seems to work for us while VG learns the game - it's close to the old home base and close to Jita.

Eventually I think someplace quieter would be ideal. Umokka is a mission system with upwards of 40 in local sometimes and only 12 belts. 12 is an okay number, but pre-downtime these belts are picked right over. Normally I'd push for something outside Caldari space because I hate its busy-ness but there are some spots even without leaving Lonetrek that might work out better in time.

We'll sweat this stuff later, though. For now VG, you just keep on bein' you.

It was this, by and large.

Edit: I was around and had CD access for when we first made friends with TEST. They were literally the :shobon: newbies we started off as, making friends with them at the time was a good idea. The whole 'Montolio was a nutcase' thing wasn't our propaganda or anything, he really did go off the rails. No surprise us and the Reddit corp falling out made Reddit toxic, I guess?

After about 2012 or so illum became dull as hell and was instead used as an attaboy for people who did work, as well as for member-corp CEOs who kept their corps active. As you'd expect with a channel of 50-ish people there were and are leaks so it's natural that important or secret stuff gets discussed in the star chamber, corps diplo, or other more select rooms instead.

Confirming the viceroy idea was dumb, but frankly, I don't think it was a root cause.

It antagonized Shadow and Snuff to the point where they worked....together. Which was mind boggling to anyone who knows them. And their fights were a litmus test for everyone else. After the fights in Hakonen everyone realized the emperor has no clothes, and after the first CSAA fight everyone realized he had a small dick too. The reason everyone else dog piled on wasn't because of some deep seated hatred or history or some bullshit. It was the same reason everyone came to fight Brave in Catch, and the single largest motivator in EVE - easy content and easy kills.

And while that wasn't the sole reason, to say it's not a root cause?

Sometimes it is good to be reminded of this. One day, the game will shut down and then it is really history. The aftermath will be you still have your friends.

I try to put my RL friends who play first over internet spaceships and sometimes it is just good to remember what is important.

At the same time, though, this is a game and games are supposed to be fun. If i am not having fun playing in groups my friends are in it can lead to some interesting choices.

"Friends" shouldn't depend on an in-game standing list- if they're your friends they probably won't care who you fly with as long as you're having fun.




Why this needs to be said, I'll never know. Some of you people are loving odd.
