Because not everyone has an SA account. And people get a ton of questions about 'hey bro, why did you leave' and 'what happened here?'

And to that person, it's a 'big deal' because they're getting bombarded by people asking what's up. Easier to just link a thread, tell bads to read, and post more.

We used to do this on Kugu, talk about why we left or did something big. But RIP kugu. If we had a real alternative to reddit that isn't the shitlers on Scrapheap, then reddit wouldn't be the focus. And TMC is too biased to fill that role.

I don't think I could have been stopped too soon either, especially during said evac.

no good way to secure assets during an evac though, the choice is not to trust people and have the stuff trapped or trust people and risk them stealing some (and fortunately kismeteer's temper tantrum reminded us to secure the stuff that had no need to be generally accessible). i think if you were stealing during the evac though you'd have been caught (at least, were you stealing from the evacced stuff) since we were looking at the assets moved and would notice if it dropped

and for gsol to work people doing it need access to stuff, in that case security isnt free since increased security causes higher workload, more burnout, more general friction, so generally speaking its set up so that yeah, a gsol guy goes rouge he can steal some stuff but it's better to have that happen every so often than have poo poo so locked down people burn out

either way though, just lawl at your "my thieving from the small corp of people that trusted me means that the gsf directorate is incompetent" i mean, at least we know who runs itl

His character was only in goonwaffe to do gsol work. Most people use an alt, this guy decided to use his main thinking that made him a goon.

Some of Karmafleet dudes are a bit shady, including this guy charging for advices for POS or something I forgot.

.

I only had my main in GSOL because it was my only jf capable pilot at the time. I actually couldn't even fly a jf when I started, but was close.

As for the pos thing, you're dumb. All advice I gave was free and there are quite a few people I helped with that.

You don't. They found out because of me. Because I bumped into Gorski on a Swedish forum. I mentioned it on jabber because Gorski was kind of space famous and I thought it was cool. I had really *really* underestimated what kind of grudge the Alliance had against him.

While I'm bored at work and have some free time I'm kind of curious about something. I know if I asked on the GF.com forums I'd never get a real answer and I'm kind of curious if I can get a PL perspective here as well.

So one thing Mittani has said, both in the previous fireside chat and in a couple fleets he's talked to in Mumble (at least that I've been on) that we'd start having posted ops again. Now I know that isn't going to apply for everything because you don't want the other side knowing exactly what timers are going to be contested, but what about poo poo like EC- or 93P? I get one of the talking points is the enemy doesn't look at DOTLAN but I hope no one sincerely starts believing that because it's a bad idea to be hurfing your own farts and that's what it comes off as when I log in one day and see 93P has flipped with no mention of it anywhere.

I can even respect that we may not form up for it all, but at least throw a notice that "Here is an op because PL is trying to flip 93P so we'll form up at this time to see what we've got and what they're going to bring. Probably going to stand down and laugh at them for forming a huge force in response, which we'll blue ball, to this notice and then take it back once they get tired and gently caress off a few months down the road." Everyone wins, you get the line members involved in the game without deceiving them up front, you get the chance to possible ninja defend it if the MBC decides it's a joke and ignores it, and you're not coming off as lying and/or incompetent on your campaign promises. Instead we get the exact opposite. And then yesterday I see one of the caps ping only to find out it's because of EC- flipping and the exact same scenario is going on.

Compared to the ridiculous justification for the ITL theft today, poo poo like this is what makes me actually question the leadership and want to leave to pastures which are probably just as lovely but least a different kind of lovely. All the little crap like this just really starts to pile up and feels like something is legitimately on fire higher up the GSF food chain.

P.S.
And while I'm venting, according to the last couple months of stats we've got a lot of people in the FC club, and to be fair I see a fair variety of names leading the standing fleets but only the same consistent 8-10 or so leading fleets out. And also to be fair, it isn't like those 8-10 aren't doing amazing work with a lot of fleets going on a regular basis. Maybe I don't see a good chunk of it because I'm only in one SIG and there are several out there which are FCs just for specific squads, but it just appears like there is a massive amount of bloat in the FC list compared to how many people lead fleets. And I know I'm just being a bit of a hypocrite here because I've got neither the patience, temperament, nor interest to be an FC. But at the end of the day, with so many people leaving, it just starts looking like we've one or two critical people bailing or burning out from a serious crisis. I'm also pretty sure I'm in the minority of people who either notice or have manufactured this crazy scenario in their heads but, for me at least, it just further adds to the pile noted above.

And then when he ran for CSM 9, he gave his real name to CCP, which was then published. Googling that does lead you to other things.
