"Something smaller but real and valuable" is assumptive and loaded. Goonwaffe is a real corporation. And it is a valuable one. Having inactive accounts has no impact on that.

Goonwaffe is in game to have a place for goons to go play Eve. If they let their account lapse, then want to come back (like a poo poo ton of goons have done for this war), then what is the big deal? The only reason to purge is because of awoxers and spies. But we're good at handling both of them. So the negatives aren't really that strong.

I have absolutely no idea how many characters are in Goonwaffe right now, because I never see that number. It's pointless. It's only people you interact with that have any impact, since we're one corporation in an alliance which is part of a coalition.

People who want to be part of a smaller tighter group (which is most people) do so using SIGs.

Basically, the "purge the fat" is pubbie bullshit and no one gives a flying gently caress except pubbie shitlords. It has to be done for other groups because they derive their sense of identity from their in game stats. Most of us don't give a poo poo. We play when it's fun, or when it's feasible for us to do so.

I've only experienced the opposite of literally everything you said about Goonwaffe, can't speak for the rest of the alliance, they're generally cool people, in small SIGs its awesome but the general vibe has gotten really loving cancerous.

The jabber is literally 2001 IRC levels of toxic there are just too many shitlords on the gf forum to count. Like right in this thread, just the level of snarky loving jabs and condescension only serves as a reflection of how terrible its gotten.

So the in-game side of things are fine but the rest is just a monumentally pubescent shitshow I do not know how that corp is not imploding.

The snark is generally between warring factions, this thread is probably no more than 2/3rds GoonWaffe. You really don't seem to understand how bad of a first impression you made with your PsyOps BS at a time when the rest of the universe is looking for any excuse to smear goons as bullies/creeps. You probably could have saved yourself at that point if you had just chilled out rather than doubling down and calling everyone else "faggots" or "white knights." Stop posting drunk/high and/or get help as applicable.

Yeah you're right, but oh well, not much to do about this mess now, seems when it becomes a running gag to poo poo on someone in GF you might as well quit by yourself to save yourself the hilarious meltdown.

bluegoon I asked around in jabber because I've been drunk over the last few days. From what I gather it wasn't your thread but how you reacted to the deletion. If it was just deleted without a follow-up kick that means it was just a tacit slap on the wrist at worst and was probably deleted just to appease the quasi importants who didn't get it. When you go on to call people names that makes it an overreaction, such as saying all of GSF is soft.

he created the cringy psyops thread that both goons and reddit made fun of then said he contacted the Iceland police about the IWI gambling sites. A collection of people regularly accused of being immoral assholes said "hmm, too far maybe" and kicked him, then he had a meltdown and joined pandemic horde and is now part way into a second meltdown

that about sums it up, did I miss anything?

Reasonably accurate, yeah. Also although illegal, Iceland doesn't give a poo poo about regulating online gambling!

You don't know if it was deadtear who deleted it -- it could have been any of them dudes with red text under their names. And even if it was him it doesn't matter so just let it go. I'm supposed to pull a Dalael here and poo poo all over you because I'm not the one getting poo poo on for once, but gently caress that I'm too old for that. Here's the thing -- I get that you're very angry with goonwaffe but I would like to see you maybe take a longer look at things here. Take a step back from it for a bit if you need to, or not if you want to play EVE. For now though, stay away from anything that doesn't involve game mechanics for your own safety. Also as many have said in here -- I sincerely hope you find someone you feel comfortable talking to on a regular basis and a medication solution that works for you. I didn't need you to whiteknight me to foehammer - he's okay. Just worry about you a bit. Introspection will take you far.

I am saying these things to you because you remind me of a younger me in some ways. Think about why you're really angry and what's going on and put up a post in E/N under your "non EVE" SA acct. PM me if you want to talk completely confidentially. Calm down. You are angry for the wrong drat reasons or you're trolling us yet again but if you're crazy like I'm crazy (and I think you are) then I want to help you. No bullshit.
