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.

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.

it's not really work. most of the time it's just having a good time with your buds "working" on your hobby, kinda like volunteering to coach a team at a sports club.

only the players are all assholes, and for some reason the ball is deflated and none of the pumps work and someone is shouting racial epithets every hour. So basically like english soccer I guess.

This episode of Deep Space Nine (The Magnificent Ferengi) was my favorite of the entire series. It also helps that the Vorta who met them on the other station was played by Iggy Pop.

Yeah the more I reread it the less likely it seems you could actually come up with something as amusing as the Jeff'radar. Who's ghostwriting your new posts?

most of eve doesn't have much to do with sports, but alliances have a lot to do with sports clubs. the forums-reddit shitposting complex doesn't.

I had one of the most ~meaningful~ experiences of my life in GS when RoyofCA contacted me at like 2AM my time, begging me to put him to work on anything I could think of, and I couldn't think of anything on the spot, and then when I woke up the next morning he'd killed himself. I think this might be something that's not totally apparent if you haven't been a director or otherwise involved in doing things for other people, but there are in fact a lot of players who need a break from their life, troubled souls and even actual kids in GSF. always has been. it might not matter to you because you're a cool independent cat. you can think it's sad if you like. but having a community where they can go and belong matters to them even if it's online, and I certainly took away as much ~meaning~ from playing a part in establishing and maintaining that as I ever did coaching soccer.

you got a lot of growing up to do tbqh
