It's all about how you leave. Rational adults can disagree and still be polite.

Some people just go "GSF isn't my cup of tea anymore" and quietly leave, and that's fine and great -- Vyst, Vily, the Groon crew, some of the BAT/BOS guys.

Others go "GSF isn't my cup of tea anymore, and I'm gonna steal/awox/spy a bunch of poo poo on my way out. Get dunked on." It's a little more antagonistic, but you know, it's all in game, and that's fair game. Ex: Mandozer, or Rhea, or Doc Weed.

And then some go "GSF isn't my cup of tea anymore, and I'm gonna air out everyone's dirty laundry and try to make you look bad in public." Not only is it antagonistic, but they go past "I wrecked you in game" and into "I want to attack your reputation and make you feel bad as a person." Think Lemba, Angelique, and Blawrf.

At least when PL spies on me, I expect it. They're playing the game -- a dirty game, but a game that I've largely opted into playing. It's marginally more tolerable to me than having an acquaintance stab me in the back on their way out, and then try to fake a continued friendship and tell me that they stabbed me for my own good and I'll thank them once I come around. That's why I have a modicum of respect for Dozer -- he owns up to his backstabs, rather than this fake saccharine concernpost garbage.

All things considered, I'm more likely to buy a beer at Fanfest for Grath, or Gobbins, or even Gen Eve, than I am to buy one for the not so dearly departed.

Paging Ullerm, don't know if you want to do it but the info/schedule for EVE_NT Winter 2016 is up.

quote:

After the success of the previous season EVE_NT EVEsports will continue in a new format bringing more competitive EVE game-play to the table in a brand new format. We will present two seasons a year, one winter and one spring, with an ample break for the Alliance Tournament organised by CCP. If you would like to see any of the previous matches please check out our youtube.

The next season will commence on the 2nd of October 2016 and will run for 8 weeks split over two leagues. Captains from the previous season will be invited to populate the positions they earned by their previous accomplishments and the remaining spots will be opened to the public after the 31st of May 2016. Details on how to apply will be available very soon.



Rules for both leagues will be the same however we have split them up to represent the level and quality of the teams participating. We will have the Lower Tier League (thanks Chessur) where new combatants get a chance to prove their worth in EVEsports and a Top tier league (provisionally known as the EVE-Bet League). Prizes for the two leagues are obviously graded by the position the teams end up at the end of the season.
For each leagues specific participants please see their appropriate tabs below (soonTM).

Edit - It's basically using the Code A/Code S system from GSL in Starcraft 2 if you can't figure it out.

Except Vily, BAT, & BOS have all been poo poo the moment they left despite what you're saying. I get your point, but to say that those people were treated well when they left because they didn't throw a "gently caress you guys I'm out" post up on the way is disingenuous.

Not that there's anything super wrong with making anyone feel bad as a person because of dumb spaceship stuff, but it does advance things further along the 'time before being told to get hosed' tracker. Reputations are a real thing, who would have thought?

He left and I told him I didn't particularly like him but that he did a bang up job on auth stuff which was a hot mess prior to him. I don't think personally liking someone is necessary for having respect for them. Hell I've got a whole list of people who I think are great at the game, but that if you locked me in a mumble channel with them I'd go mad.

This is really my EVE experience. I can respect people and their contributions to EVE and Goonfleet without liking them. Deadtear is a good example of this. I can't stand him like at all, and I think he's a generally horrible person on the Internet, but he did a bang up job as a moderator which is why I recommended him to all of the higher ups to be my replacement. With that said I had enough respect to ask him if he was even interested in taking the job back if I was gone.

When Harry would come to JU- and camp us, we'd give him legitimate advice on how to be a better ganker. He never listened because he figured any advice from Goons was bad and we were trying to trick him. He'd never give up his Warp Core Stabilizers for damage mods :shobon:

I'm pretty sure EG or some other group gave him 10 purifiers for Christmas. They are probably still locked in the VFK station :v:

You asked us where the camp was setup like 8 times last night.

Dramatic Reconstruction

"Oh god where the gently caress are you guys at"

"XXX System on the xyz gate"

"I've got like five clients uh I'm in x36..."

*LONG SILENCE*

"Uh where the gently caress are you guys at"

"*laughter* XXX system on the xyz gate, we're going into XYZ to kill ______"

"Man I got cockblocked by some BITCH tonight, I logged in my booster"

*Long silence*

"Where the gently caress are you guys at?"

It went on like that for about 30 minutes with you loudly demanding we tell you where we were, us answering then you forgetting and asking ever louder.

I had no idea it was an option until it was offered. So I accepted. I felt I could spend that isk on better things.

To be fair Ted should probably take an evening and just return all the isk on his own initiative to the people who donated for the JU- XL citadel.



If an XL citadel looks feasible some time in the future. The project can be restarted again. And the people who believe in it can donate then.

I think everyone who gave isk was smart enough to realize that there was a chance......good chance that their jew-money might not result in what Theta wanted to build....aka 'schitt happens'.

Theta is sort of a tricky bunch in that regard. They highlight everything that was wrong with the coalition. A whole group dedicated to ratting. Meanwhile internally they unironically viewed themselves as the stonecutters from The Simpson.

Though I suppose they did have some sort of conspiracy level power because for a while the Alliance did actually have peacetime SRP for ratting carriers. Assuming they were boot fit (which all of them were). Which in itself was so ridiculous that it should have caused an outrage on its own.

Then Deklein was taken and Theta started these grand plans for guerilla warfare against the invaders. With pictures of African rebels wielding rocket launchers. To show that "This is how Theta does things" and to show that Deklein would certainly not go uncontested.

But all they ever did was head to Saranen and discuss what level 4 missions would best replace nullsec ratting.

Hmmm, maybe you were looking at a different screen than I was because I clearly recall SpaceDad setting up drops on reds in Dek as well as in PB. Granted they do rat but when it comes time to stomp some arse, I didn't see them docking up.

Still, not judging.

You should have made this post on reddit for like 150 karma. Here people will point out it's bullshit and their words can't be voted away.

If you honestly believe an org dedicated to:
- helping newer players make money
- helping established players get space-rich
- enacting strategies to discourage roaming the homeland
- min/maxing in a game that is utterly based on it
- leaping to one another's aid

is "all that is wrong" then I sure hope you come tell us what you think is 'right' because it'll be a pretty loving sad read. For most goons (particularly green-from-sa-goons) their formative eve experiences are bumbling into rocks, blowing up and asking for help, and being showered with free attention and help by theta. They're the reason our newbie retention rates are significantly higher than your average eve pubby who starts the game and quits before they've trained destroyers.

What's sad is that you've swallowed the "goons just rat in dek and dont do anything else lol hurrrrrrr" line without a single moment of rational thought applied and regurgitated it in a post without such either.
