Dr. Pangloss posted:

I've been buried under an audit for the past three months. Why is this ?

QFC committed suicide, basically. And the idiocy is so monumental that it deserves slightly more words.

TLDR:

NC/PL gave Broski North some assistance in dropping a Fortizar in the middle of Querious. This gave Broski a safe platform to use for hotdropping pretty much the entire region -- nearly the entire region is in blops range from there, and the best ratting sections of the region is in dread/super range. They promptly camped the hell out of the region and basically shut down ratting entirely. So QFC couldn't rat for fear of getting dropped, they were running out of money, and they were starting to lose systems due to ADMs dropping. (Plus, you had Infamous effectively AFK doing their Stainwagon escapades.)

Now, a sensible group would say "hey, Broski gets maybe 30 people online tops if NC/PL isn't there to assist them, we can put together 50-100 without hurfing much and with decent capital support -- why don't we put together a proper fleet and take out the fortizar?" The problem is, QFC's members were mostly idealistic trysofts and just couldn't bring themselves to cooperate. It was this stupid dream of "10-11 small alliances which never permablued and each owned a few systems and had ~gudfights~" and they wanted it so badly that they weren't willing to cooperate in the face of a stronger threat. They were so loving allergic to the idea of a blue list, or uniform doctrines, and they stuck to gatecamping their own constellations and skirmishing with each other, at the same time that Broski was preventing them from replenishing their losses. And in the few instances where they would sack up enough to temp-blue and try to hit the Fortizar, they wouldn't do single unified fleets (and not many people would show up), resulting in them feeding poo poo to the Fortizar like it was a bugzapper.

Demoralized and out of isk reserves, one or two people started packing up, and once a rush starts for the door, you can't stop it. (Especially once we moved into Delve and idiots started fearing that we'd expand into Querious -- despite our attempts to reassure them that we didn't need the space and would prefer to have neighbors to fight.)

The moral of the story is that some people just deserve to live in lowsec, and there's no value in creating systems like Fozziesov to attempt to elevate such groups. Holding sov requires organization and commitment, and that's incompatible with alliances who have chosen to elevate "be disorderly" to the status of a guiding moral principle.

You're not including the stuff earlier that helps explain your bit a little more.

QFC was left in the hands of BRAVE when Horde decided to move north to get closer to the fighting. They asked/demanded (depending on who you talk to) the other Querious Thunderdome (we never called it QFC) to move up with them to join in. Affirmative, BRAVE, Rote etc. were all too content to just rat and carebear and not get involved in big wars. When Horde left guys from Rote etc. started spouting about how they were God's gift to Nullsec and they were the more competent leaders of the Querious groups, etc. etc.

I'm going to preach a bit here: Join goonswarm via karmafleet. Now is the best time to join GSF. When I joined it was directly after we bombed out of delve, failed a cloud ring invasion and landed on the couch. I got to live through and assist the rebuilding that made us the juggernaut everyone was afraid of for years and brother: I have stories. I have stories about running a squad, I have stories about fighting wars, I have a story about the funniest thing boat ever did in a fleet, and I have stories about why you don't go on boat fleets. I've got entertaining director stories, hilarious AT fuckup stories. Building an empire is great fun. We're starting construction now, get in on the ground floor.

There are other options available, sure.

There's Groon: Which is a cool group of dudes that I've flown with a few times, but they are small, and frankly they fade in and out of obscurity in the greater goon consciousness due to a relatively small group size that sometimes goes inactive for weeks spanning to months at a time. Curiously they seem active at the moment, good for them!

There's DJ's "Goonswarm": Groon Mk 2 the bitter ex abloobloobloo. Currently a pandemic horde pet. If you can stomach being the pet of a pet, I guess this is a doable thing. I was going to say the only thing they really had going for them as it pertains to helping newbies along is Kismeteer but it looks like he hosed off to Bat Country. If you really want to be on the "Opposite" side of most of the goons here, and want a good newbie experience I'd probably just say join Horde which is in no way goon affiliated.

I'm not going to put elitist ops or BAT on the table in this discussion because throwing a relatively inexperienced guy at either of those would basically be chumming the waters, newbees don't really belong in PL and you are going to be suffering from some serious fish out of water situations if you did join. If you do decide that rout: BAT is the way to go (if available). Endie is an outstanding fellow who I have nothing but respect for.

El Spamo: Aug 21, 2003; Fuss and misery

There's a downside of being a newbie, and that the doctrine ships are waaay up there in required skills. It's frustrating every so often to look over a recommendation and realize that you're weeks if not months away from effectively piloting whatever doctrine ship or ratting fit, or even knockaround boat for fighting randos.

HOWEVER.

The other half of the doctrine that doesn't see a lot of joy in my opinion is the (now frigate) ewar ships that are piss-easy to skill into. Effectively skill into. Like, 2 days and you're capable, 2 weeks and you're baller. Nothing, read, NOTHING is as satisfying as loving up a monster battleship's day with your little piss-valued frigate that you got for free by giving them gun myopia so severe they can't even target the tackle frigate that's crawling up their nose.

There was a newbie-based fleet for a while that used tons of sensor damps with range scripts (I believe) to basically render battleships and capital ships useless because they couldn't target anything. This was back in the days when wrecking ball was a thing. FuckYouFleet was a magical thing.

The concept is still around, except the primary target for damps is usually enemy logi, and it's not typically run as a separate fleet unless it's a huge op where the FC has to boot frigates to make room for more line ships.

So basically gently caress me because im j4g and I think fearless leader is a bit of a prick.

I haven't played this game since uh 2006 looking at my poo poo. But apparently old me knew how to play the game though I am drat sure I could pilot a hound back then it looks like poo poo has changed(while new me is retarded and just reallocated a 30k of skill points randomly)
It looks like im a few days away from getting back in my covert ops frigate. I can pilot cruisers with the option of teching into battleships. I can do "stuff" or I used to be able to do "stuff" but me 10 years ago was also a lot more interested in doing "stuff" and me now doesn't remember how to play loneliness simulator 3016.

I remember having vague ideas of grandeur of either piloting a near invisible missile boat and blowing poo poo up, or playing as a target painter so that the missile boats could do the same. Someone point me in the right direction.

On a side note I'm here to have fun, not dwarf fortress style fun, because when that's what im looking for I play dwarf fortress. I want to feel like my contributions to xxx are somewhat meaningful to the playscape even though I don't even know what that is, and in all honesty I fully expect to quit this poo poo once my IRL life takes a turn for the better. I'm sure I don't fit it any master plans but I still want to gently caress some poo poo up.

Basically I'm the last person anyone wants to deal with, and since I've done this j4g poo poo before I poo poo on your karma crap. I'm not likely to stick around. I'm not here to make long lasting friendships, I don't care what about "politics", I just want to blow some poo poo up and listen to some nerds talk about how cool it was over VOIP, while avoiding whining and backstabery about how the "commander' is an undervalued asset.

I remember having vague ideas of grandeur of either piloting a near invisible missile boat and blowing poo poo up, or playing as a target painter so that the missile boats could do the same. Someone point me in the right direction.

On a side note I'm here to have fun, not dwarf fortress style fun, because when that's what im looking for I play dwarf fortress. I want to feel like my contributions to xxx are somewhat meaningful to the playscape even though I don't even know what that is, and in all honesty I fully expect to quit this poo poo once my IRL life takes a turn for the better. I'm sure I don't fit it any master plans but I still want to gently caress some poo poo up.

Basically I'm the last person anyone wants to deal with, and since I've done this j4g poo poo before I poo poo on your karma crap. I'm not likely to stick around. I'm not here to make long lasting friendships, I don't care what about "politics", I just want to blow some poo poo up and listen to some nerds talk about how cool it was over VOIP, while avoiding whining and backstabery about how the "commander' is an undervalued asset.

Wow.

So basically gently caress me because im j4g and I think fearless leader is a bit of a prick.

I haven't played this game since uh 2006 looking at my poo poo. But apparently old me knew how to play the game though I am drat sure I could pilot a hound back then it looks like poo poo has changed(while new me is retarded and just reallocated a 30k of skill points randomly)

I dunno how to respond... I'm vaguely suspicious of imps given my prior experiences with archeage goons. No one owes me anything and I've made my intentions clear. Karma squad looks like trial by trolling and I've done that once before.
The Groons sound like my ideal place given the circumstances, I'm just here for direction. Sorry, if I come off an rear end in a top hat.

(and I'm perfectly willing to acknowledge I'm wrong)

Flip a coin and join Karmafleet or Groons. No one cares which way you go. If you don't like it, then try the other one. It's Eve Online, not choosing a spouse.

LeStrom, please write a five paragraph essay comparing and contrasting authoritarian video game guilds to real-world dictatorships. Be sure to include lots of strongly-held opinions on each of your points. If I deem it sincere, I'll send you instructions on how to successfully join Goonwaffe.

(Five paragraphs doesn't necessarily mean "long," but it should be well-constructed.)
