And this is exactly what I meant regarding why GSOL refused to stay fixed and victim complexes.

Every job is the worst job in EVE. Any space job is tedious, takes work, has CCP's awfulness to deal with, etc. No single org was unique, special, or different, but the cultural transmission of "but guys, unlike everything else in EVE, logi is HARD."

Seriously, no one made anyone do that poo poo, if you didn't like it, didn't have to do it. Would have been better than reluctantly half-assing or no-assing it while complaining non-stop.

Caveat--there were (and still are) some excellent GSOL directors, lest I paint with too broad a brush.

Didn't gsol members get their main account plexed by the alliance back then? Always seemed like sour grapes to me, to hear about people whining after I found that out.

Yeah, topN gsol members got a plex (or two if they were good worker bees) up until basically a couple months ago when the plex-for-tasks budget ran out.

I also gave out titles for evacuating deklein and see how well that went.

I unironically agree with that. For every idiot that presses F1 when he's told there's about a billion man hours behind that decision filled with scutwork, and wranglers ensuring it gets done. Just running a squad of a couple hundred dudes kept me so busy managing personality conflicts/logistics/more personality conflicts/targets/etc left me with just about enough energy to log in and watch other people kill poo poo, but none to press any buttons myself. And literally every time I burned out everything went tits up because no one realized that space wrangling semi useless players into a cohesive effort takes an awful lot of personality/energy/planning and time.

There's a reason why black legion/white legion/whatever collapses every time Elo burns out, why Blackops is dead, why Topgoon continues to be dead etc. No one is willing to put in the work. I unironically spent the entire delve invasion flying mainfleet because being an F1 (Ok and F2/3 because a fair bit of it was in a dictor) pushing monkey was a relatively low stress way to fight the war, I didn't have to think about logistics, someone thought of that for me. I didn't need to wonder about where to go, the FC had that poo poo on lock. Really the only stressful thing I encountered during the whole pile was hearing Isabella's voice, which is enough to make anybodies blood pressure rise.

I remember how shocked I was when I realized the 3000-15000 character super alliances were actually run by a half-dozen to a dozen people with hyper-advanced forms of autism. Literally the entire rest of the alliances' weights are just F1 monkeys. Some with special titles, granted.

I'd rather let you do all the work and then smug in forums about how well "we" are doing. What I'm saying is that Eve is like professional sports: a handful of people do all the work so that we can claim victory for our tribe. It's actually quite civilized.

This is even more pronounced in smaller alliances since its usually propped up by 1-2 people doing all the work. Elo Knight tends to flame out in spectacular fashion but other groups do it as well.

Sianime's celebration of delivering a message to Somethingawfool is cut short when he learns that his mother, Dariushka, has been captured by the Legion. Sianime informs Coorns and also tells him of their mother's secret love affair with Grand Autist Mittan, who is offering a reward (50 Paplink) to Sianime. He decides to lead a commando team composed of Impgooni and claim the reward is 20 paplinks so he can keep a larger share. They first recruit Sindick, making him "Strategic Operations Officer" for the mission. Next, they hire Deetier, a Impgooni "eliminator" who does not care for paplink but loves a challenge. Sianime bails out his cousin Weesell, who was arrested for attacking minorities and signs him up as a chance for redemption. At a briefing, the team learns they do not have a ship and are interrupted when Endee arrives, asking to join. Having lost his job as a GSA Masterpuppet, he hopes helping rescue Dariushka will make Mittan give him his job back. When the team refuses, Endee mentions he will simply return to his ship and leave. The team grudgingly accepts him.

Running simulations on the homosuite go poorly. The team is unable to kill any Jeff'radar soldiers and on the eighth attempt, Deetier shoots Dariushka (seeing that they were not going to rescue her). When Sianime reminisces about the negotiations he went through to get a message to Somethingawfool, Coorns encourages his brother by saying that Impgooni may not be good commandos, but they are excellent negotiators. They just need to find someone the Legion wants and the Legion will give them the person the Impgooni want; that way, everyone goes home alive. As thanks for trying to give Mr Edwords 150,000 paplink, Sianime is given the captured Horda Gloopy and the group arranges a meeting with the Legion at Re'Dit 4 (as its layout is identical to GO9). The team makes base camp in the station's infirmary, where Gloopy reveals he will probably be executed once he is returned. He attempts to escape in Endee's ship, but fortunately Coorns disabled the ship after they arrived (Sianime chased him because sometimes Sindick gets it wrong). A Legion ship arrives and the Impgooni find themselves surrounded by Jeff'radar. The Legion commander Don'ron (played by Michael Vick) presents Dariushka to Sianime, Coorns, Sindick and Endee, but, seeing the obvious strategic advantage that the Legion troops have, they force Ron'don to order his troops (save for his two bodyguards) to leave the station and immediate region of space. While celebrating their soon-to-be successful exchange, Coorns accidentally lets slip the fact that the reward is actually 50 paplinks, not 20. In a rage, Endee tries to shoot Sianime but ends up killing Gloopy, whose last words are "I hate Impgooni."

As Ron'Don grows impatient, Sindick determines that Gloopy is dead. The team agrees to not give up . . . for an equal share of 50 paplinks. Placing a neural stimulator on Gloopy's head causes him to swing his arm and Sianime gets an idea. He changes the exchange point to the airlock where the ship is while Sindick modifies the stimulators. At the exchange, they are able to get Gloopy's dead body to walk and once Dariushka is safely with Sianime, the team ambushes Ron'don's Jeff'radar guards. Endee asks what they will do with him, and Sianime says that Ron'don will be their gift to the GSA. ("They gave us a Horda, we'll give them one.") The Impgooni team leaves Re'Dit 4 while Gloopy's body continues walking into a support beam.
