I'm pretty sure me being let into PL was a penif troll to everyone else in PL and my personality just grew on everyone over time. I get along with most people there for the most part which is a refreshing change and mellowing out over the last year certainly hasn't hurt.

I must have missed whatever you seen but lets go through the first bit.Zephyrine posted:But I really don't like PL itself. I don't like how most PL guys look at horde. I don't like how they treat their allies. I don't like the ironic racism/sexism. On Horde: No one fucks with the newbeans. I don't know what you think PL guys think of Horde but they're the newbies and we like them. If some mouthbreathing f1 pushing PL dude tried to poo poo on a hordeling he'd probably get cornholed by the grath telkin. Or by any of the PL dudes that actually hang around HORDE which isn't a small number. We like them. Ironic Racism is something that also makes me uncomfortable when I see it and sexism is loving disturbing but I don't remember seeing it around. Then again I stick to israd not the rest of PL so I'm just probably not looking. When you try to join PL you will be trolled, poorly. If you can't handle that by hazing whatever poo poo tier PL dude that's doing it you shouldn't be in anyway because you're just a weak personality. There's no purpose to it, it's just a thing that happens. If you can't keep dumb nerd bitches in check don't apply. PL guys are human just like anyone else. I don't get why people look at us like we are God just because we are in. The ticker doesn't exempt anyone from being a horrible person at heart. e: oh yeah almost forgot the allies. Well if its NCdot I'm firmly in the gently caress THEM category but nonetheless they don't make the bluelist based on my thoughts. I've been gone for the better part of the year so I have no clue how the allies are treated it, let me turn you over to my comrade Ordo Garr for that analysis.

A number of people ask really stupid questions, and the people actually responsible for recruitment ask good questions and are usually respectful. The only threads I can see which got really bad were Dame Death (who tried to fight another player outside of a bar at an eve meet), and that dumb IWI banker who managed to lose a titan 4 hours after being accepted into PL. The hazing culture was big in goonswarm for a long time, and the bullying is very real for any imagined "enemy" of the directorate - look at what's happened to you. In PL people aren't scared to say anything, as long as you don't bully people within the alliance. A few months ago I got yelled at by a director for being in a nyx while not being in the supercap usergroup; we subsequently made fun of him all night because it turns out that I was in a thanatos-class spacevessel.

Most of the people that get hazed are blind apps that haven't talked to anyone and have no idea what PL is even about (playing Chivalry). The rest are waffles that have no place in PL's recruitment forums (unless W-DIR).

As opposed to "Get out there and teach them to Eve" I can't help but draw comparisons to karmafleet where any day 1 snoobie stands on equal footing with a five year Waffe member.

There's no purpose to it, it's just a thing that happens. If you can't keep dumb nerd bitches in check don't apply. Well I don't like it. To me there are two groups to Eve. "Us" and "them". You take care of your own and treat them with respect. "Them" you destroy if you have the time. Mock them if you're busy. The PL recruitment forum is this bizarre middle ground where "us" and "them" mingle and some of "them" become us. Except first they're treated as "them" for a week or two. It's like goon recruitment scamming except every now and then the victim is recruited as well. Again this is about how things "feel" for me. I'm sure the whole proccess makes 100% sense from an inside frathouse point of view. Viva Miriya posted:oh yeah almost forgot the allies. NCdot is the last one I had in mind. I meant allies like test, CO2. The whole MBC. This whole middle area where people are allies for one fleet and then targets an hour later. Where NCdot are allies of PL and horde are allies of PL but NCdot camp horde ratters and trash talk horde in local and no one in PL tells them to stop with proper threats of violence. This whole slap & tickle triangle of vague alliances and no commitment. The imperium had some pretty terrible allies but we took care of our allies because that was our responsibility. All the way until they betrayed us. Then we worked around them to take care of the other allies.

there are allies, as in people you have actually said "we're allies" to, and then there are people who you work with to fight a mutual enemy PL has never done something as douchey as temp-bluing someone and then shooting them after we've won the fight; AFAIK TEST and co2 agreed to be blue until GSF was booted out from the north, nothing more

Granted test are a terrible group of people who deserve everything they have coming. But if that's how it's going to be then don't take them in at all. And NCdot dropping supers on horde capitals with PL in range doing nothing. I try to imagine this Imperium parallel where FCON drops supers on karma fleet. And the only way it could end is with FCON backing down, paying reimbursements for what they destroyed or dying in a fire. Again you don't have to take any offence to my reasoning. They are my reasons and they aren't supposed to make sense.

We're now entirely convinced that the NETC has nothing to do with PL, so I anticipate no issue with us blowing up the entire loving thing while Suas rages and Lenny weeps. That's two out of the crew of four people who started the Casino War, nicely tied to one enterprise that has no fleets of its own. At least we won't need to worry about PL defending these NETC shitpiles, so it's full speed ahead into formal campaign mode~

As far as I remember, no person who ever talked to me (like the stickies say) before applying and who then went on to apply to Bat ever had any trouble getting in. I warn the people who won't succeed, beforehand, not to even try, and help the people who can succeed to avoid hassle (without doing their apps for them). When some no-hoper (defined as someone incapable of even reading the instructions) turns up out of the blue and impulse-posts with forced attempts to be funny then the best I can do is tell them early and publicly "no" because that heads off the worst of the responses from people who are offended at the idea of them even being in the alliance.
