Syndic Thrass posted:!who felony Don't doxx me! I am JohnHoe, there is no shame in my game. Orange Red Bull posted:Space Violence was a cult of personality originally built around Tolon aka Suas. In the 2013-2015 years when half of eve was rented out and many organizations struggled for content Suas would go afk for months at a time. Space Violence naturally would look to BOS, his corp for leadership in these times, which there was none outside of Suas. Originally it was not. It started out a group of friends who shared an in-game channel and drunkenly argued with each other over stupid poo poo for fun. It officially became a squad probably 3 years after the channel first started. I was one of the first squad leaders in which we stood by our motto of "never doing poo poo". It was after Particle9 drunkenly burned out on EVE that he handed the channel and squad over to SUAS. EDIT: Homeland Defense was also a splinter group of the original pre-SUAS SV when doanshoot unsuccessfully tried a coup on the squad. He and some of the shittier posters left and formed Homeland Defense. BubbaGrace fucked around with this message at 20:47 on Sep 14, 2016 |

EG crumbled when Vee stopped logging in and the next guy given main FCing duties there was Marine loving Rosger with his unique blend of dank meamies and uncontrolled raging over comms at the idea that someone else might have formed a fleet to attack 'his' targets.

I'll point out that Vee is off happily playing Elder Scrolls Online, of all things. There was a period where Akasha took over, we were getting like 30-40 dudes max, and I was having fun. But it was just hard to hold the bar so high. He was also doing all the logi, scouting, fcing, so it was a ton of pressure.

Part of me yearns to run or help run a squad again and the offer has been made but I'm pretty sure I got all that enthusiasm beaten out of me years ago, and I wouldn't want to do it at all if it couldn't survive me burning out. Basically I need a cute newbie who's super enthusiastic and wants to help goons have fun to re-spark my interest. He can take on my old role and I'd be the benevolent pappa Konno type.

Just a reminder that "goon-town" still exists for goons from all alliances to talk about whatever in game, if you actually log in. Nobody even knows who has mod at this point, so there will be no bannings or any of that.

Baculus posted:I was almost heartbroken to discover my PTO for Vegas was denied because rabble rabble trials and poo poo. The weird thing about the Eve meetup events is that inevitably, the first time you go, you actually try to give a poo poo about the actual Eve content. Then, inevitably, CCP fails to deliver on it year after year, and you stop giving a poo poo about being made more empty promises. Hell, for a while, I had a rule of "only give a poo poo if CCP has a live demo that actually demonstrates that devs cared enough about this feature to implement a proof of concept" -- and then ghostfitting got demoed at Eve Vegas last year and then never shipped. Plus, you start realizing that there's a whole lot of spergy neckbeards whose lives literally revolve around Eve that are more than a little creepy. At Eve events, I've seen grown men literally turn their backs to each other and refuse to speak upon finding out that they were in opposed alliances. WTF. (Personally, there's only three people in the entire game that I wouldn't share a pint and a laugh with -- and that has nothing to do with their game affiliation and everything to do with those 3 people proving to be legit IRL assholes on multiple occasions.) All that said: I'd strongly suggest visiting Iceland if you've never been there, whether or not you go as part of Fanfest. It's beautiful, it has great food, pretty much everyone can speak English, and it's relatively cheap in terms of travel costs from the US. If you go just before tourist season starts, you can get piss-cheap flights and lodging -- as in, just under $400 for a round-trip pair of nonstop flights between Boston and Keflavik. Eve Vegas is fantastic just because Vegas is a cornucopia of sin and Eve nerds tend to have above-average IRL spending cash.

CCP has old fanfest videos back to at least 2012 on their youtube channel. There's a great edit waiting to be made of promised features vs released features.

IDK I wanted to do Vegas because apparently all the goons go and that's a good time. Although the only EVE person I actively do not want to ever encounter IRL is a shining member of our hosed up community, but I figure there's no way he could conceivably ruin Vegas. After all there are strippers and drugs and gambling. I always assumed no one would give a poo poo about EVE politics at fanfest - because we're all in the minority (EVE-playing sacks of meat) out in the real world. And I could care less about CCP's presentations - I'd be more interested in poo poo the players have to say because we're more likely to see action on that front. But realistically I would probably just attend the big events and spend the rest of my time getting lit with goons.

I will point out that MY WIFE has been two goon meets where people were not 'cool'. Everyone else has been pretty good dudes in person, some remarkably so. We are looking forward to Eve Vegas, especially since some people who don't normally get out like Killah Bee is going to be there. Second one we went to, leetcheese came to it and was kind of a dickbag to a lot of people. He talked about 'MY AVATAR' for literally hours since he just got it. And refused to talk about anything normal. His gf at the time was good at least. I ended up calling him out about it when I applied PL, he didn't remember bringing a girl, and he shut up pretty quick. Much later on, May Zonday was his radio personality and kind of monopolizing the rock band. He was called out, he chilled, everything is fine the next go round. Other than that, just the usual goon drama based off in-game stuff and not so much people being a complete dickbag. Even people like Xenuria were fine, who asked for a picture with me at eve vegas, which was amusing:

I went to a load of UK eve meets back in the day, they were all a thinly veiled excuse to get pissed up with people from IRC. CCP did do some official half baked London one where they hired the back room in a pub but I don't think they even bothered to turn up. At some point some sort of lovely prize giving for costumes or something happened but no one noticed because no one on this earth no matter how committed to the cosplay cause is going to walk past a London football club on a derby day in fancy dress. I have vague memories of people being pissed at CCP about it because it was right at the start of tournaments becoming a big thing and there wasn't one.
