I found that out from a divorce attorney I dated.

Every once in a while I look her up on FB and you can actually track the progress of her soul being crushed in her profile photos. It's pretty horrifying.

"Treating our allies well" turned into "Letting them walk all over GSF line members"

case in point was the CO2 super scam in which you not only ignored your own critical rule about outside super sales but then tried to punish the person who brought it to light

poo poo went poorly after renaming it the Imperium, which I will take the time now to reiterate is a dumb gay name that needs replaced with something that's not so pubbie tryhard

I joined Theta by mistake - I assumed it was more like what GS ISK actually is. But I stay in Theta because I love hearing about people losing ships.

Also, the redheads.

My favorite times in this game was flying with European Goonion with Mister Vee, Domi, and Akasha. I think the writing was on the wall for Goonswarm 2015 after European Goonion went inactive.

PL is the closest I've come to in my time with EG. Show, get frags, go home. Sometimes kill some supers and titans. You know, chill Internet Spaceships. I cannot recommend that move enough. Even if you get branded a traitor for doing an AMA to counteract the spin of a "media empire".

What loving spin?

You had a pretty public meltdown. And then you went and jumped on a soapbox to Reddit where you we're obviously testing how far you could join in the "gently caress goons" chant (for approval? idk) without permanently closing the door on rejoining GSF.

I guess you assumed it wouldn't be obvious and further exacerbate things after your episode of acute bad brains?

stfu, nah you was cool, also Endie. We should remember the good times. This poo poo seems so pointless, but people come and go. There are still people in GSF I would trade without a doubt just for you guys to come back.
I don't care about loving opinions or Pokemon Go or whatever. I bet every second gently caress in PLs leadership has SA account the same way as Waffe people do and here we are :poop: ing in this thread.
Even that PLs game style is very appealing to a kill whore like myself, I believe that Eve Online will die sooner than GSF if this faggotry from :ccp: will go on.

i mean, no one's denying we got our sov rolled and bounced out of the northern territory we occupied for six years in a fairly embarrassing fashion, that's just plainly evident

(and this next bit is gonna read as hella bitter and tinfoily and it's absolutely biased because of when it happened and how i personally influenced our response, but drat it, it's how i feel)

but given that the game was modified, specifically using our coalition and its flavor of strength as a template, to directly undermine the underpinnings of our strength, and then a force of warm bodies 50% larger than we ever were at the peak of our power (not to even mention how atrophied we'd become due to years of peace) and bankrolled far more strongly than anything we had, descended on us, the fact that we scooted out from underneath with our coffers, supercapital force, and membership largely intact is pretty much a miracle, and I dare anyone to do better

"use a level of force that is absolutely unable to be contested in any meaningful way" is what got us to the King of poo poo Mountain status in the first place, and i don't for a moment deny hostiles the credit they're due for employing the strategy we pioneered against us writ larger than we ever did, it was an excellent piece of work

i dunno, i just can't feel completely bad about the outcome given the circumstances, unfavorable as the outcome was

Not from me, anyway: I think GSF is in a much improved place, are better off without the fcons and the SMAs*, and have a good crop of junior FCs coming through for the first time in years. I also imagine that GSF and much-despised PL will probably work together to knock down the new nc that is rapidly coagulating in the north, as I've said a few times in this here fine goons in space thread. A lot of things *went* wrong but by all accounts they seem to be improving again recently.

Yeah, I loved being in EG and getting that sort of thing delivered to me too. I can't, in the end, really feel anything but contempt for jumping ship to go chase that high, though - it just feels so completely selfish. You know, "ok, I've used up this host, better go toss this whole community, structure, thing, whatever I spent half a decade building up aside just like that". I dunno, maybe I'm weird for feeling invested enough not to do that; obviously a lot of people in EG didn't, considering the endless frothing rage about subhuman pubbies etc there was towards the end.
