The problem then comes when you leave and they take all that information and make it public to use it against you.

It wasn't 'made public to use it against you' but then lots of other people have already pointed out how you're being dumb over the blacklist and how it works, despite that being the only way any functioning blacklist could work.

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.

Shooting in game is of course not even close to this.

The only reason you are concerned about GSF still knowing who your alts are, after you told them who your alts were, is because it means they can be shot in game now that you've joined GSF's in game enemies.

Your objection to this makes no goddamned sense.

If it was a game of monopoly. I would probably have to take a picture of the board before going to the bathroom. To make sure the pieces were still where I left them.

No it would be the equivalent of GSF making a deal with another player to buy up property so you can't create a monopoly on a colour.
In other words, part of the game rules.

It's a really big stretch to complain that GSF are using game mechanics as intended against you, and that this is somehow "bad", just because you don't like it.

The monopoly example is fun though, because it's an example of a game where people get really mad when you simply use the rules of the game to your advantage.

If it bothers you that much, why not just sell the flagged jf/cyno alts and buy clean ones?

This makes the most sense if it's really that big of a deal. Characters are pretty much fungible since brain goo was introduced and for a JF alt you'll always get 80% of the SP back. Call the rest you have to make up the cost of doing business, the cost of bitching so much about your former alliance in the very forum they originate from, or a combination or both as it suits you to get over this and just move on. Zeph is it your job now to just bash goons every chance you get? I don't understand all of this because I always thought you were a nice person and chill, but yet here you are. It's like listening to my ex-wife talk about me. We got divorced and suddenly she's running around telling all of my friends that I did :911:

Sure I did it, but that doesn't mean she has to go run and tell everyone that I did. Some things are best left unsaid, and every individual and group has its secrets or moments that maybe weren't their finest hour. I'm so bored of people leaving and then running their mouths about how horrible it was for so long. If it was horrible for a long time, why did you stay for so long? Why bother getting LAWN and FCON evacuated -- or did you do that to build up your own space heroine narrative? That's fine too, but you can't have it both ways. You're coming in here acting like a battered spouse and I just don't understand why. Yes, you had some folks that didn't like you and some of them are posting in this thread. By and large though you were extremely highly regarded and well liked. Why you would piss up a reputation of general integrity in order to prattle on about how persecuted you were/are makes no sense at all.

I may have had disagreements with vyst but I will say at least he peaced out without making fallout. I think endie handled it the right way as well frankly. Others have been a real disappointment. I have more respect for someone who pulls a big ticket awox than I do for those engaging in all this kiss-and-tell nonsense on both here and reddit. If you're not going to do a good awox, then just quietly leave. I know that when I interview someone for a position in the real world and they start railing in on their former employer that is an automatic no from me when it's decision time on the candidate.

P.S. If you fine folks have been enjoying my attempt at goodposting in this thread, you can show your appreciation by sending kilgarth some ISK. :sidvicious:

Monopoly is a bad analogy, this is like a poker game where someone shows all their cards and is then like "GUYS GUYS GUYS I know you saw all of my cards but I'm going to start betting against you and you need to pinky promise to bet like you don't know what I have, that would be doxxing" :psyduck:

To my knowledge, you could have kept these characters on non-alliance accounts (no chars in GSF, no API); the API is something you do voluntarily on a neutral hauler for safety from Miniluv. Why you think nobody else in the game tries to identify/track their enemies' neutral alts is baffling. That's as "legitimate" as metagaming gets, it's not like these are totally independent characters where you're roleplaying someone totally unrelated to your main.

What if someones uses time limited APIs, would that lead to some trouble down the road when all the posted APIs with their alts just turn off? Or is it a case of one-time-only showing your alts and nobody cares of what happens a year later?

You can cancel an api as soon as you leave, but every corp that checks them will remember what the alt names were.

Most groups use a Full API to try to make hidden accounts obvious. GSFs API requirements are actually really light. Even most highsec corps need a Full API.

Listen. I liked you. I think you did a lot for GSF, but at the same time you made money off of it. It's not like you're some total saint.

You chose to leave. Fine. You felt there was shady poo poo. Fine.

But you made a spectacle of the whole thing, and immediately moved to shipping for the people living in and invading the space Imperium used to hold.

You turned your logistics alts and freighter jumping into a STRATEGIC ASSET for the Imperiums enemies.

What did you possibly think would happen? And now you keep whining about it. If you'd peaced out quietly and prepped an isntant message to people who were asking about you, nobody would've cared, but you turned yourself into a propaganda and strategic enemy.

You've been a part of GSF for how long and you don't know that part of this whole game is narrative and propaganda driven? Of course people will dredge up bad things to say about you and disseminate your alts to miniluv.

Frankly, grow up. If you don't like it, go play hello kitty online. Thats a game for babies.

Yes this. I am sort of a neutral bystander because I dont know zeph and dont give a gently caress about him.

When he left I felt sympathy for him and I thought he was leaving in a classy way, even if he tried to grab his 5 minutes of fame.

Then this whole API thing happend. Jfc. It is just embarasing. First of all, I hardly think it was public. Second, you made a choice a while back to have your alts safe from miniluv by submiting all the info to the alliance. Then you threw a temper tantrum and went to the enemy, without remembering that the people you asked for protection first are now your number one enemy.

How is that possible? Doxxing is gross, but this has nothing to do with it. I really hope miniluv gets you a few times. In this lovely thread you stand out, congrats.

See what you made me do?! I posted. Mad.

This. Worst case, someone sells characters (or hoovers out the SP with skill extractors and creates a new character) and you can't track them trivially anymore. One of the most frequent tasks of CD, ironically, is "one of our allies just bought this character on Char Bazaar and it's blacklisted, can you get the blacklist entry removed please."

Sometimes, it's handy too. I enjoy loading up the list of Narciss' characters every once in a while just to see who's getting corpthefted next.
