And because Mittens literally lives on this Alliance, his stake in it has become so serious that no means. Inside or outside the game are spared to advance it. And all that makes me sick to my stomach. Which is why I left.

Counteropinion. It starts with a basic premise that you like having things your way in EVE. Mittens is a figurehead of TMC just like you were the figurehead and controlling entity of ITL. Is this a case of being offended because it's something you think is true of yourself

What I saw when I joined goonwaffe was an organization of people who contributed for the benefit of each other. Of those roles, the figurehead is unique because it's a face and a personality to rally behind. If you have a person like mittens dedicating his full-time life to figureheading an organization that benefits your gameplay, in my opinion he deserves what revenue he can generate for himself.

Unless one of them happens to make "Extra Credits" or "shut up and sit down"

Because I paid for any deficit that ITL (the company) had.


Though I'm fairly certain that the staff members made quite a lot of isk.

At the moment, there's not much to be done. We're outnumbered and outgunned in every time zone, so the focus has shifted to making people who live in our former space miserable; guerrilla tactics involving interceptors, bombers, and CovOps ships, while occasionally biting the dick off anyone dumb enough to stick it into the Saranen beehive.

The most tragic thing about all of this is Deklein being carved up and made into renter space. You'd think the people who took it all would have the common decency to live in it after all that time we spent upgrading it, but I guess we're more the fool for trying to make a home for ourselves in Null rather than Lowsec.

Man I'm sorry you guys have to deal with that. I wish y'all the best of luck, your galactic reputations notwithstanding. What's your IGN? I'm Naz al-Ghul.

Couldn't agree more. I wish that TMC and the Twitch stream made enough money that good ole Dear leader didn't have to do anything else, as long as he keeps on being the space CEO and herding all of the cats that comprise Goonfleet. (Though to be fair, who the hell talks about going to "The Club"? Going out, going to the bar, out with friends, whatever. Going to the club is for Chris Kattan and Will Ferrell.)

I want to try out all those boardgames but then I import one and bring it to a gaming night and my friends are all "lets play monopoly" followed by by "Yahtzee" I have probably played a dozen games of Yahtzee at this point. I'm still not sure how it works because after I throw the dice a friend of mine does the math and then gives me the points.

So I just throw dice a few times and then lose.

The fact that people still think mittens lives off of TMC is the most egregious hilarity in Eve. Even more egregious than the fact that people haven't figured out the alternatives to 'lives off of TMC' yet. It's really a testament to how fundamentally retarded 99% of people playing this game are.

Angelique I would be saddened and empathize if you stopped at the simple explanation about flashback despite your input about Gorski being a seemingly normal guy. That's an incident and satisfies my questions about why you'd leave.

Since then, however, you've included other reasons involving TMC's relationship with GSF as causes for your departure. Jumping on the bandwagon and casting basic aspects of GSF and TMC and mittens as negative is a choice and it's what pushes you into spurned ex territory and seeing you spread those messages disappoints me.

Early on people had this theory that I joined horde on some secret mission to evac more stuff. Very :shobon: But horde has no docking rights anywhere except other Horde stations.

Thwarted :argh: Oh well back to GSF to report to Porkbutte of my mission thus far...

Talk to Jeffraider. If you can actually manage to figure out a way to play monopoly without it looking like utter rear end that poo poo will go down hard. Don't suggest the game on steam that lets you flip the board. We tried that with predictable results.

What are you talking about? We play Tabletop Sim all the time on OG and disable the table flip function.

The current games of choice are Secret Hitler & Bang!

A few of us play other games away from the other people on OG like Tsuro, Deception, etc.

You can print out a free copy of the game if you want to save some money on it.

Same with Cards Against Humanity & Clusterfuck.

I hear Superfight! is really good.

Edit - Also apparently MWO is non-poo poo now and is less aids than it was when it was in beta/early official release.

The Clan War stuff is kinda neat and not too bad.

Confirming that Angelique is good people and space truckers make good ISK/hr. Don't care what she said about theta because even though those are my people too her opinion of them and they of her affects nothing.

I don't honestly know how much actual shipping Angelique did for ITL -- it wasn't my business to know. If she says she didn't make as much ISK as the people she employed then she didn't. I'm going to go with what Amyclas said about it and that "Angelique did us right while she was here" and leave it at that. ITL is still going strong and we're still pushin' wraps through the hood.
