That would probably be correct, to be honest. I'm very much for freighter death, but free suicide alts for everybody is pretty clearly not the aim of the program.

the current referral system is better than alpha clones could ever be. I have 10 absolutely free PERFECT t2 catalyst pilots for the next 36 days.

The alpha system probably will only allow one alpha per pc, because having an x amount of free alts doing whatever activity would be pretty broken. Honestly, I think ganking would handle it pretty well as many of us already multibox several DPS accounts anyway.

Blacklist is odd. It's an alliances prerogative to decide who should be able to be a member and who shouldn't. But it's not perfect. Some people should probably stay out. Some people were kicked and could've been let back in, but weren't. And some people were kicked for unclear or opaque reasons. But saying "lol if you have a blacklist" in a game is dumb, because black lists can and are totally content drivers, and this lovely game needs more of that.

In summary, free kimsemus.

Im pretty excited about it. I have like 10+ accounts and I only have 4 subbed right now so it will be nice to get some use out of my others, even if I just use them as free scouts.

I can't wait to set up 30 VMs and use a command broadcasting software to control all of them.Their current method of detecting input broadcasting wouldn't detect that since they would be different computers and I could see a 30 venture mining fleet being pretty useful.

This reminds me, I have a scouting alt on a third account I made back when CCP had some kind of really cheap deal for alt accounts. I'm wondering if I could revive that one as my alpha-account instead of starting fresh with a new one?

Having a third account I don't have to pay for sounds like it could be fun, since I don't play often enough to PLEX both of my normal accounts and absolutely refuse to pay for more than one account at the same time.

You have no idea how many space important and space unimportant people don't want her back. But please, keep working on that cause, rather than someone like Kis.

I did take up the mantle for him in the same drat post dude c'mon. I even said him first and then came in later with the edit about Zeph.

Look -- I'm space unimportant and frankly it's not even me wanting her back at this point -- it's the fact that there hasn't been a good reason given as to why she's not been allowed back. Yes, a good enough reason for other pubbie corps and alliances who kick and blacklist people for dumb poo poo sure. All we got was she sad mean things on the Internet about her former video game guild. Big loving deal. We're supposed to be loving goons and above that petty vindictive bullshit with our own people.

She may have even made up the story about being approached about the Gorski thing. I don't know and I don't really loving care. She talked some poo poo, and went to see if the grass was greener on the other side. It wasn't, so she offered a mea culpa and tried to come back. She didn't steal anyone's space sheckels or lead fleets against the goons or anything like that. There was no goonfucking -- and last time I checked that was pretty much the only rule. Goon exceptionalism and gently caress you for forgetting it.

Lots of people have left us, realized that almost every other collective in the game sucks by comparison, and came back. Why should it be any different for her? Did she hurt the wrong person's spacefeelings? If so then what the gently caress is goon exceptionalism anyway except some stupid term I made up that doesn't mean a loving thing after all? Yes, I know people don't like her. People I like whose opinion I respect A LOT don't like her. Ultimately, though, she's still a goon - and that matters to me. She didn't goonfuck, so from where I'm sitting she gets back in. Same goes for Kis. People sure as gently caress don't like me and I'm still kicking around. Though sticking my neck on the block like this when I'm such an easy target anyway probably isn't the smartest thing I've ever done. Still, this is important enough to me to speak out. Goon. Exceptionalism. It's what separates us from the PLs and TESTs NCdots and BoBs and anyone else who ever tried to play the game as a group. The same game that goons reshaped with their exceptionalism, tenacity and exclusivity. That is the reason I'm railing on about this - it has very little to do with her but about us and what makes us the best.

Rhymenoserous posted:

lol how the gently caress did she get a raw deal? She literally walked out when we were at our lowest while holding a torch to the bridge she was crossing to get away.

We were at our lowest when we had 30,000 shitlers like CO2 and FCON sucking at the teat. Don't get me wrong - losing our home sucked. I lost billions worth of poo poo and I'm still a bit bitter about it because I was moving RL when we evacuated so I didn't get a chance to clear out. Oh well - life goes on no biggie. I loved the little space area I called home and had a great time there. On to bigger and better things, but always a goon. I'm taking a break but I'm sure I'll finish that move to Delve at some point when I'm done loving around with other games and have the time to sink into Eve again. I'm looking forward to it. Of course I am -- I'm a goon after all and we're the best.

To be fair, Burn Jita will be far easier. No one will need worry about standings: just have 3 dozen Alpha Clones pre-trained and get 200 nerds in poorly-skilled thrashers to hit F1 at the same time. Log out, log in with another Alpha Clone, repeat.

Other fun uses: pre-staging hundreds of Atron or Kestrel or Blackbird alts all over the galaxy. Being an rear end in a top hat third party will be much easier.

Seeding 250-man Caracal fleets all over the galaxy just to go on random poo poo-on-cheerios nullsec roams will be pretty fun. And yeah, gonna be nice for disposable scouts too.

In all honesty though I'm looking forward to this. Also going to make it easier to reactivate lapsed accounts as you'll still be able to log in to get plex, and even if you're space-poor you can probably make the money to buy one eventually, so it might have some good points for returning players.

As long as they don't gently caress this up it'll be nice. On the other hand, CCP.

There is no risk to speaking out like this at all, no one will cull you from gsf for it. People in here call mittens all sorts of names all the time nothing happens. You don't get removed from gsf just because of your opinion.

She quit during a time of war. I've seen others do it, gently caress, some people left us to go join dj. Some of them have come back, and even posted about it. They got a welcome back. They didn't shoot us when they left, they didn't start disparaging us when they left.

Have you ever considered that having a blacklist is a deterrent to others doing the same? What if people just bounced in and out whenever they felt like the tide had changed. You're so concerned with her for being left out in the cold you don't care for everyone else still in the corp.

I'm not actually sure. Unless he actually posted his ban reason offsite somewhere, its not like we'll really know. Personally I think it was simply that the ISDs got sick of his persistent, relentless criticism of everything and made the appeal based on the volume of the poo poo they had to suppress from him, rather than any one thing.

Edit; probably mod sass got him eventually. He always did take any chance to claim that the moderators/CCP were pro Goons.

You're 16 jumps from GSF space - but these probably aren't the sort of jumps you want to fly any mining or industrial ships through, though.


Paco you are making the same argument as before. Goonfucking can be talking mad amounts of poo poo while joining the enemy analog of the Hitler Youth during the march to "exterminate ze gewns". It seems like everyone but you agrees on this.

You can't really spin it as director corruption or some poo poo like that when literally 99% of the entire alliance agrees with the decision.

Look man it's really hard to find a comparable organization whose recruitment efforts are targeted towards the young and uninformed, indoctrinating them and eventually turning them into a meat shield... without pissing off a lot of people or coming across as a total :tinfoil: freak, anyway.

But then again we all know the boyscouts is just a front for a joint Army/CIA effort to recruit and cultivate super-soldier assets for use in the field. And that they do this by funneling grant money through several different midwestern savings and loan operations, which use fine Jewry to transfer assets into and out of the Boyscouts of America operating accounts to pay for child prostitution services used by high profile bureaucrats and the most powerful legislators in Washington, D.C.

Those same legislators who happen to run the Armed Forces Strategic Services Committee, the National Security and International Trade and Finance Committee, and Special Committee on Aging.

Aging? Yes, aging! See it actually all goes back to the lizard people - who, as we all know, were the first to discover that having sex with pre-teen boys actually slows, or even reverses the aging process. They first shared their secret with Elizabeth Bathory, but she either misheard them or was just loving crazy because she wound up killing a bunch of girls and bathing in their blood.

Now we all know (thanks to Strategos) that PH members are going inactive - but what if I told you they aren't really going inactive? What if I told you that the youngest members of Pandemic Horde, with their small, supple figures and taught orifices, were being bought and sold on a secret black market like sexual veldspar?

What if I told you that the entire bazaar of writhing human flesh which currently supplies Washington D.C. with pedophilic immortality was run by two EVE players with the political capital and connections you need to run with the beltway pack?

What if I told you these two partners... are The Mittani and Elise Randolph?
