There are less goons on the whole than when I joined, and eve online has a reputation for making things happen that sound cool and fun only if you have no sense of what the game is actually like. Makes sense if goonwaffe recruitment is way down. People who make games also realized space is a cool setting to put games in, so there's a lot more stuff out there that scratch the dystopic sci-fi itch with way less bullshit.

The SA well ran dry because SA doesn't have any fresh blood to speak of and everyone who had the slightest interest in Eve will have been and gone by now. It's not 2007 any more.

As a mostly non-Eve goon, I'll tell you why we're attracting less interest. Tuned in to the fireside chat and got hit with a wall of 'we will make them bored as poo poo and then stomp them, etc'

I don't want to be bored as poo poo in a video game so we can make the enemy bored as poo poo in a video game so we can win nothing that matters anyway

Goons, as in, actual forums posters on this website, aren't like that any more. Nobody gives a poo poo about trolling the enemy, or stomping pubbies, or being the dark heart of the internet or being le epic rusemeister (outside of FYAD or whatever).

And that's before you start using words like HUMINT and Fabian strategy like you're some kind of big deal.

Can we all set aside our differences and agree that TISHU are shitlers? https://www.reddit.com/r/Eve/comments/4jhflh/tc_ss_cfc_vs_tishu/

TLDR: TISHU has been stealth entosising The-Culture's sov while TC is out on MBC ops. TISHU caps got exposed and T-C temp-NAP'd INIT. and Razor, who were also on grid, to kill them. TISHU and some other random MBC are now mad at TC for playing "not-blue-no-seriously" incorrectly :v:

Paco Vato posted:

Stuntcats look fun but it sort of reminds me of belt hunting in lowsec. Such endgame. As long as folks are having fun though who cares?

I am unironically excited if we get to just chill and be MOA for a bit. No timers, no staring at a titan's butt and then getting blueballed (which roughly describeds 100% of my PVP experience during my first month of Eve), just fun cheap fleets and ganking ratters. I know GSF used to mock MOA for that but to this day the most fun I've ever had in Eve was on a Corm fleet that stream sniped Yolo Swagtron and then dunked PH twice in Obe (or Okagaiken, which one were they staging from?) :colbert:

Yeah yeah "didn't want that sov anyways" but throwing that around as a rebuttal is just as dumb as saying it and meaning it.

edit: not supers, regular caps

That's fine. Fortunately there are other Goon space guilds, such as Groon (let's do fun PVP things) and VideoGames group (let's chill playing and play space prospector).

I'm not happy we lost our sov. That sucks and I'm bummed about it. That being said I think that overall this lovely situation is bringing about some changes in GSF. I think many of these changes are OK changes and while I wish we weren't space hobos, I'm okay with the state of things right now and having fun playing eve online sometimes. There's some dumb bullshit that's stupid but v0v. You're a loving liar if you tell me you can't say the same of TEST

I remember those days too: it was when (almost) all SA goons were part of GSF, and people from other entities rarely posted. That's why we can't have a thread like that any more: people will always bicker about trivial poo poo unless one side suppresses dissent.

But then back then GSF probably existed for the sake of the members. Now it exists for the sake of TMC and The Imperium.

You must be retarded if you paid more than a half a second worth of attention to those things. Those have always been window dressing for pubbie masses etc. As for me I found a group of chill people (Old SV, Hole Squad, then Hole Violence) who did poo poo I wanted to do in EVE and hung with them, gently caress the narrative. GSF let me do that with minimal/no expense to myself.

Besides, TESTs narrative is just as retarded, if not more so because at least GSF's version of Fountain and then Delve War is closer to what actually loving happened.

I must've not paid attention to all that retarded poo poo. Why, in the age of that loving CoD rager streamer and every other retard with a Webcam and a microphone trying to brand themselves an ~Internet prrsonality~ and make money off it, is it that surprising to you that some dumb nerd who thinks really highly of himself and loves the sound of his own voice is trying to do the same? Furthermore why is his attempt at this retarded Web sensation dream so egregiously offensive but laz, crasskitty, rahne, jeffm8r, mintchip, riverini etc all are trying to do the same thing* and that's all fine and good?

*Since I know your thing is being a pedantic 12 year old, I am referring specifically and exclusively this: "every other retard with a Webcam and a microphone trying to brand themselves an ~Internet personality~ and make money off it".

You'll notice I also was sure to include people who that applies to who do everything from gaming journalism~~~, news sites, streamers, etc because if I only listed streamers you'd go "hurr durr TMC dot com", and also I'm about 99% certain that someone on that list has raffled or somehow distributed codes or some poo poo that they got from a dev at some company in order to promote that devs game. Why the gently caress am I supposed to give a single flying rainbow gently caress about any of that?

Edit: Since Angelique douchecanoe made that gsf exists for mittens and tmc now post, I'll extend all those same questions to you too

Yes well perhaps you didnt have friends outside of GSF who would constantly ask you "whats the deal with the mittens latest retarded stunt?" or occasionally glance at reddit and not have to read a thread by the same name. Remember when we were kicking corps for inactivity and then pushing a zombie game with no zombies? Not window dressing when your asking for paps in a different game

Hell mittens told me here we couldnt have a funny name cause it would hurt fcons feelings? Yeah gently caress that and how that turned out. Not to go ~true goons~ but last i checked being a goon entailed being funny and having fun. Not this corporate bullshit.

In game allies for in game goals are fine. What I mean is a space empire that exists to hoard page viewers, ad clickers and stream watchers. To the point where the game itself gets to take a back seat.
