yeah

Pfffft. The main doctrines are Confessors and Stealth Bombers. Get it right.

Space things are still going pretty much as expected. After blobbing everyone in Eve for several years, we are now being counter blobbed and can't really do anything about it. Dropping some citadels (most of which blow up), killing what enemies we can, and dying hilariously on the undock in Saranen. (Even though we have a citadel in Saranen that everyone can base out of for a couple of weeks before it blows up) Spirits are high for everyone that doesn't play Eve just to Rat/Mine, and we're about to lose the last of our space as soon as the bad guys push us out of Pure Blind.

Okay so as expected, cool beans. I continue to eagerly anticipate having more than 30 consecutive minutes to fly spaceships.

I noticed that we've rolled grindrfleet out once or twice, how's that going?

Grindr Fleet was a part of the big battles that happened a couple of nights ago. The first night we killed carriers, T3 cruisers, and Force Auxiliary capitals while losing some Hurricanes, while Grindr Fleet was in support and didn't lose much. The next night They brought more T3 cruisers and we learned again why we don't use Grindr fleet that often!

The author did a presentation at EVE Fanfest this year that goes through the first parts of the book, and if you're interested in that stuff it's pretty interesting. Link to Twitch Video starts about 5h24m in if I messed up the link.

It is quite well written. His presentations are also fairly good too, though he stops at around the Great War which was around 6 to 7 years ago. I assume he may do a 2nd volume or whatever and cover the time between then and now but maybe not.

We ate poo poo a few days ago 80-90b to 50b and the next day resumed owning destroying 90b in canes/support and losing 30b worth of CO2 nightmares (and assorted support) because GigX is a loving retard.

TL;DR- Pope Hats die to canes/bombers and Grindrfleet gets owned by T3 AHACs.

Thanks, but what exactly would you have me do there instead? I was just trying to post and chill byob style but folks trip over themselves to come at me in this thread. It's easy to say "well paco just ignore it" but these are my alliance and corpmates ignoring kayfabe and trying to get a rise out of me here of all places, just because I had the nerve to post. Isn't that what this place is for? I know I've certainly done a lot of that in the past here -- perhaps something has changed. The truth is that nothing is sacred and folks feel lovely about their own terrible lives so they think it's fun to e-bully. I don't cotton to stupid or e-bullying. I said I was trying to chill and warned people to leave me alone or I was going to clap back and I did. I've since surmised that there are no real cultural differences between the PL elite PVP assholes who poo poo all over everyone and the goonfleet assholes who poo poo all over everyone. At least panfam didn't lose all their space and become a lowsec killmail garden and I've never seen PL say they were going to create content for their members by turtling up. Basically though it's two heads on the same stupid ugly dog when you get down to the human quality of the actual people involved.

And before any of you tell me to shut the gently caress up, remember that civility is a two way street. I was trying to say just leave me alone and let me post my musings about EVE appros to the thread and that would have been that. Coming at me just means I'm going to come back at you. I don't really understand what is so hard to understand about that honestly. So the way I see it is we have two options here -- either we can all post in peace and harmony or I can keep eating probations from poor VG who just wants a chill thread. So my vote is for chill thread. Leave me alone.

Um when have I ever tried to be the center of attention? I mean ever. I literally just got done saying I want to chillpost and enjoy the thread and asked folks -- like you -- to sort of respect that and leave it alone. The biggest reason I clap back at people is it makes me uncomfortable that I don't have a safespace in which to post without being poo poo on constantly.

ChickenWing posted:

That's the thing - that shouldn't have carried over here in the first place because just like the meme when people tell me to shut up I typically disagree and voice such disagreement. To that end though I will lurk more so that people will just forget that I'm here and talk about other stuff because cripes this thread is terrible now and that's not all on me guys. Sorry you're going to have to take some responsibility for sort of poking the bear here. Just leave me be is really all I'm asking. It's not a thin-skin thing it's a "health of the thread" thing and there's a real difference.

The thing that people don't seem to understand is that I have a very good handle on SA culture, have a long history here, and don't typically post in places where appropriate longer posting is seen as bad so am not seen as a bad poster. The way I handled it on gf.com was to come back at people for a while and then stop. That way people knew I would come back at them if properly provoked, but I didn't let myself get provoked each and every time. It's the same here, but I needed to do a bit of recap for those watching along at home.
