Or you could be poor claire syerick and end up as the pi squad mascot and martyr.

edit: Squads are necessary for social development in an organization of GSF's size. Like clubs, Greek organizations, or professional organizations at a university, they're somewhat necessary to help people from being lost in the crowd.

Ironically, greek organizations at university are opt-in. Imagine what it would look like if you got randomly assigned to a frat as a freshman in Uni; If you're lucky, you end up in ΑΦΩ and get connections out the ying-yang. If you're unlucky, you end up in ΣΑΕ and die during your initiation, and they hide your corpse in an irrigation ditch because they don't want the house to be searched by police a third time this year.

I don't get how forcing people who may not want to live in a wormhole to live in a wormhole is going to help either the GSF or Hole Squad. While I understand living in Goku is more tolerable now given that there is a citadel (although I thought POS life was just fine), wormholes are still an area of the game that many people don't want to explore. We had our fair share of dead weight in Goku with Hole Squad being an optional squad to join, so imagine how bad it'd get if you forced people to be in the hole.

If you're online and in the squad and can see the forums and are in the group you should get pings from me and we definitely talk about playing eve when it's not being consumed by weedchat with Thuneral.

Unless you're a Euro or maybe an Aussie. Then yeah, I can see why you say this.

I just woke up today to find myself having been demoted from Capital director in GSF.

It went roughly like this:

22:30 - Go to bed
03:30 - Jabber message from Merkelchen: Hey are you there?
05:30 - Jabber message from Merkelchen: Hey, we feel like you're not doing anything so we're demoting you. [Paraphrasing]
05:35 - directorbot: You have been demoted.


I am slightly disappointed about how this was handled because;

A) I talked to the mittani about it less than 3 weeks ago how the situation was RE: capitals and coordination. The very same conversation in which I offered to step down from coordination because this low sec Saranen fighting wasn't the war coordination I wanted to do and when I tried it, it was fast tracking me to burn-out.
and
B) It was handled the exact way that we had been told it would not be handled in the future after the Endie-demotion disaster.


There is no word on why I got demoted besides "You're not doing anything" and looking at my jabber PMs, Merkelchen has no intention of replying to elaborate on the why since he is actively talking in several other jabber channels as I'm writing this. Heck, I even had a thread in the illum forum tracking my progress of the things I was doing in regards to capitals (As a Merkelchen said in his PM there are lots to be done). Which is in hindsigt a little strange since the alliance always reacts retroactively and never proactively in literally everything.


I kinda expected just a tiny bit more mutual respect from the people I had spent 2 years in a jabber channel with, talking to almost daily.

Sigma literally has a few eras. The first era existed up until XZH-BoB camp where it functionally was equivalent to other squads. Then Armois Delgado destroyed the whole squad with his banshee voice by talking to us and also losing Apocs to a lone Crusader and berating us with his banshee voice. The destroyed period ran from like 2006-mid 2008 until particle9 or someone started forcefully talking to everyone and got them all onto the Jabber channel. After that it was a reasonable squad until the ISRAD guys got banned and Sigma lost like a third of it's members then the other third hosed off to be delvegoons.

After that I lost track of the group since we hung out with Delvegoons when in the same area or they were in ISRAD.

Before they jacked the blockade runners, the boat of choice was the Prowler simply due to the two high slots. One for cloak and one for probe launcher. Plus it is the fastest when it comes to motor boating around.

Now they all have two high slots, so its more of cargo space.

If that was the reason they could at least have told me instead of accusing me of not doing anything when that is flat out wrong and easily provable when you look at my illum jabber activity, my forum posts and broadcasts over the last 3 weeks. Like I explained above, I fully understand the not-doing-anything coordination wise which is why I offered to step down, but in terms of doing capital things, that's not accurate at all.
