Edit: also your derail is pretty much the poster boy for why trying to talk about Eve in the Eve thread is such a mistake. I did suggest in my post that I was silly to try, but I still hoped that I was wrong. People whine about everyone reading about Eve in other sites but attempts to just speak about stuff you do in Eve is, assuming that you're not a mod, doomed to be sidetracked as often as not.

The reason this thread exists is to make it the spillover of all the non chill things that happen in EVE. I've said it numerous times but after first coming to the MMOHMO and seeing EVE and having many goons explain it to me I realised that the game has so much unbelievable history to it. People who have been invested in factions and alliances for at least a decade.

Those kinds of things have baggage and venom. This thread is a necessity to give an outlet to those people who are against each other in the war. I try not to let it get too bad and do hand out what I believe appropriate sanctions.

There is a chill thread and you are more than welcome to post in there. Everyone understands that the chill thread has zero tolerance and you will be punished for breaking the chillness. Please take time to post and visit there occasionally. I know it doesn't get as much traffic as this one but that is the nature of emotion.

So essentially this thread is now just the cesspit for people who play Eve but who want to be free to poo poo on anyone who talks about Eve? You should probably make that more clear that in the title and OP.

You are correct Dalael. A lot of me not realising is down to the fact that I am only a two month old character when it comes to EVE. I really don't know the histories or alignments. I wouldn't be able to properly tell for certain who here belongs to which alliance for a large number of people.

I do see some back and forth posting occurring but if someone does insult you I am not going to step in and stop you from insulting back until it becomes pages of slap fighting. I want to be impartial and allow you to vent when needed. I am ok with us just having the chill thread if people think this isn't working too well. I want everyone's experience to be better and if that means only a zero tolerance thread then I will implement that. I'm not going to force my wants on the whole board.

You've read the EVE history book right? Ok now consider that that book would actually have to be a series of encyclopedias if you included all the angst and hate thrown back and forth by the various factions over the last 13 years. 13. YEARS.

The various transcripts pulled from COAD are not even 0.001% of the size of it. Consider that the shitflinging had its own dedicated website in Kugutsumen for many many years. In some ways the loss of that site was a tragedy because it served the useful purpose of segregating a lot of the poo poo that goes with EVE politics there.

Sorta-kinda. Three squads of T2 dps fighters will apply 1-2k dps to a cruiser depending on its sig/speed, which is quite a bit but it's a lot more manageable than just getting hit with a single volley that knocks you into deep structure or kills you outright.

I have yes. I loved it and found it fascinating! If there was a large repository I could read of all events then I would probably sit down with it and become absolutely engrossed. I'd also be in a much better place to judge things than the stumbling around here I currently do.

What I can tell you about the some of the posters in this thread (just off the top of my head) are as follows:

Deadtear was once in GSF and very high up. He isn't anymore and is one of our veterans.

Xolve plays for PL I believe. Is also one of our veterans.

Zephyrine used to be in GSF as a trusted mover of equipment and now plays for PL. Doing the same stuff I am not sure.

Kismesus is another currently active player. I think in SNIGG. He gave me a ton of advice in game which was seriously awesome.

Syndic Thrass is old school GSF and was once mocked a lot and now is accepted? (I get that feel from his posts/words and current attitudes).

Mysterious Thing is Xenuria GSF and he is not allowed to post in EVE threads.

Frozenpuzzy (I hate typing that name!) is an artistic goon who plays for the TDB guys and has a crazy rig going.

Dalael is a PL player (I think) and also loves Canadian politics.

Endie is the old school GSF thread maker/historian. Currently plays for BAT.

Many D names are disliked because they are from Reddit and only post here to gloat (I think - I am not sure.)

Carth Dookie distanced himself from the D names, while Paco Vato embraced them and a 30 day probation. Both of which I am unsure who they play for.

Ullerm is one of the most chill posters and knows all there is to know about ship fittings.

Avatarwin (Globby) and DisgracelandUSA (Boney) know the honourable ways of high sec mining in CODE.

Numismancer is Mittens, head of GSF.

Darius Johnson was once head of GSF and he currently has TDB instead.

There are many others I am sure my mind is forgetting and I apologise. I am phone posting because my work blocks HTTPS.

I've never been in PL or horde. My entire time playing in EVE has either been as a high sec pubbie (first year or so) then a member of a now defunct pet alliance in The Imperium (Fatal Ascension), and now a goonswarm member.
But holy poo poo dude, you have got this figured out better than I do. Bravo!

kimsemus is in...shadow cartel i think, one of the lowsec guys

the d name people are despera, dadbuck, daruna, and dragonstalking; aside from despera they all showed up just as goonfleetswarm started to lose so they could Break The Something Awful Echo Chamber (repeat reddit talking points and copy/paste things back and forth for Sick Reddit Karma) despera is a guy who abandoned ship and puffed up really hard and posted really poorly while doing so

globby is in pl, boney is in gsf, both do highsec ganking, globby was in gsf then he wasnt cause he's a butthole and did bad things

Honestly, I don't have a problem with this. The fighters have 10 missile salvos and then the carrier has to warp to the gate and recall the fighters then sit there for 30 seconds or more while they're refueled and stuff. The fighter MWD is only good for about 200km at 10km/s then they're slowboating for a minute+. People are just mad that a carrier can finally live up to its name.

e. name being Force Projection. Just like IRL carriers.
