Well, bluegoon and CainFortea agree with you!


The practice is not about "purge the fat". But yes, periodic purging of long-term inactives has been practised by such "pubbie shitlords" as Goonwaffe/Goonfleet 2007-2014* but not by such truegoons as Brave Newbies.

*I don't know about 2006 because I was a Johnny-come-lately newscrub, and I think it didn't happen for a while from mid-2009 until mid-2010.

Edit: BNI actually did do a purge eventually, this year. I would not have liked to be that sucker.

I have no difficulty believing that this is what you and bluegoon think.

You have said much in this thread though and there sure are lots of non-gsf goons you know? So probably take a knee on the posting until the whole "wow gently caress that guy in particular" storm blows over, muchacho.

So, obviously, I'm on the Goon side of things, and mittens would probably say something about not interrupting enemies while making a mistake... but looking at it abstractly, I don't think it's a very smart move for most of the MBC. Specifically:

* For PL, it's a loving terrible move, like "what the hell are you thinking, seriously"
* For NC, it's a no-op
* For DARK, it's an interesting move with the potential to either be good or bad, not sure
* For everyone else, not so sure, probably harmless

Saranen's the hottest place in Eve at the moment, and PL effectively can't shoot anyone except Goons -- as of their standings at the time of this post, PL is currently blue to over 45,000 characters, comprising pretty much everyone within fifty gates of Saranen. They've built a donut bigger than anything CFC had at the height of its influence; they've got nothing to do in Saranen except run station camps -- which are easily circumvented with instaundocks, as this is lowsec.

It's also bad for everyone MBC because it removes the few incentives that line Goons had to give PL any fun. After all, it's not like we have any sov left to lose. We were willing to do the occasional welpcane scrap when it was just PL and the odd NC guys in the area; a Saranen dogpile means we just go right back to swords and bombers.

About the only way I can see PL making good out of a Saranen move is if they use it as a stager for a move against northRus -- but even then, it seems questionable, unless they reset some of the MBC in order to make some local loweffort content. If they're planning to keep the blues they presently have and strike northward, a more sensible stager would be Obe or Taisy.

Alternately, if PL wants to go after T-C in Fountain, that's an option too from Saranen, although there's better stagers for that too. My gut read is that they want to open up their options for the "next campaign" but still feel tethered to the area due to PH bail-outs, so Saranen makes something that's a half-step in that direction while preventing PH from feeling abandoned.

PL is doing mutual standing resets this week so the blue donut thing is moot.

You are severely undereating. Even the most hardcore cuts rarely go below 1200cal, and I have a hard time believing you're maintaining any sort of muscle mass.

Chicken, turkey, other lean meats should be a staple of your diet; a personal favourite of mine is marinating chicken breast in a vinegar+lemon juice brine overnight, then baking with a thyme, garlic and basil rub until cooked. You can chop a breast up in your salad to add essential protein, and it's got a tasty tang.

You can get a decent home dumbbell set for dollars by the pound, even less if you buy used. Start with goblet squats, dumbbell rows, overhead presses, and dumbbell bench presses. Graduallly increase the weight by 5lbs each week and eat 1/10th your body weight (in lbs) in grams of protein. You'll feel better within one week, you'll notice new muscle in a month, and your weight will increase while your fat will shrink.


Just bear in mind that weight fluctuates. You'll retain water, bloat out after a big meal, then normalize. Don't panic because the scale shows you added a kilo or two; all that matters is you like what you see when you look in the mirror, and have realistic expectations for what will make you happy.

that's it I'm calling samefag and also... shut the gently caress up. You loving postlords won't shut up about me and I'm starting to wonder if I should post a pic so you nerds have something to visualize while you touch your unfortunately compensated selves when the lights go off in Mom's basement. I mean y'all are cool (well vyst) but it's not like you're beyond reproach and I'm getting bored of basically the same post over and over from you two. Switch your game up. I get it, you don't like me. Start the Paco Vato Non Fan Club with Cravius.

Unrelated: For a guy who uses a questionable avatar, MBC are sure making a lot of oven and gas jokes in regards to this war. It's almost like that white supremacist narrative is playing itself out in their jeffraideresque posting.

I actually have a surprisingly large number of friends on that side of the fence.

There's nothing wrong with seeing the other side- even though according to that show boat never loses ships on his fleets, PL always dies, our monthly efficiency is completely tanked because of a trivial number of FAX machines and not a dumb HABIT titan and Casper losing a Moracha, we're all have no fun whatsoever, and we're suffering and bleeding or something. Not to say that our variant of the same thing isn't occasionally skewed to our interests as well. Objectivity in EVE is a funny thing few people can maintain.


Never!


Pretty sure the CFC at the height of it's power boasted quite a similar number (especially when you factor in Fountain/Delve/Period loving Basis/Cloud Ring)
