Whoever handled the most recent recruitment ad buy needs to update their ads because you can definitely try the game for more than two weeks now, and also I'm p sure calling people fags stopped being funny *at least* two years ago. for real it looks like someone just pulled them from the 2010 recruitment campaign or something

I don't do logistics, but I know some of our logistics guys were getting pissed because people were pinging them about deliveries and the delivery was already sitting in their Delivery Hanger, but the recipient hadn't gotten a notification about it or anything. This would have been in the last two weeks or so I think. Could have been something with citadel deliveries specifically, I'm not sure

You just have to look for the items you've been waiting on or check the status of the courier contract to see if it's done. e: It's been that way since at least 2011.

While we are talking about test, why did Vily join test? Was his main sold? vaguely remember Vily was the godly FC who always seem to be speed or some kind of stimulant. (sorry Vily just my impression from what I heard over comms!)

We lose FCs of a certain type pretty frequently, and I don't think its ~disloyal~ to say that other groups have more available for some of those guys. If you care more about your own opportunities than which alliance icon is on your character sheet, you can maybe do better than the imperium. We're run by diplomats and accountants, not FCs. Which isn't a bad thing, the big problem with living by your FCs is they have the fastest burnout factor. Look at how Progod lead an entire coalition of idiots that completely died as soon as he took off.

The only thing they can't do is call an invasion also blawrf is a perfect example of why people that don't actually play eve at all should not be in charge of people that do in any capacity. If you ever wondered why the concept of 'fun' never factored into any of our decision making he was the reason. And I don't mean the BRAVE concept of fun where you undock fleets and feed to a superior force. I mean why we never deployed to a region to temporarily poo poo on people. https://zkillboard.com/character/91118664/ not counting pods or structures he has 20 kills total. and no he doesn't have a pvp alt or anything.

There was a whole stretch of time when people who had been gone a long time and then came back were spacemad that they didn't get their old jobs back on the spot. Didn't DJ throw a similar fit before he went and stomped off to form something under the original alliance name?

The alliance does not give power back to people on the drop of a hat, likely because of poo poo like the Kartooning showing what can happen when one person who doesn't play has too much power. But yes DJ, Blawrf, and Vily all got similarly assmad when they got told to hold on when they asked to be put in charge of poo poo on day 1 of them being back.

And yet it keeps happening over and over, despite seeing the same results with the previous guys. Bizarre. Anyways I agree with putting people on the bench when they come back from inactivity, even if they throw a fit and leave instead. But you have to admit there are a fair number of ex-imperium (or cfc) FCs out there flying for other people. I dunno if there's a better way to handle those people, some sort of accelerated return. If they're mad over actual in-game roles there's nothing to be done though. gently caress people who care about that poo poo. Also getting your dick sucked is lots of fun so I understand why Vily would go someplace that was eager to provide it. Basically everyone involved made the right decision for themselves.

Maybe it was in the tone of telling them to hold the gently caress on or w/e. Tone goes a long way with dealing with confrontational folks, but some people you can't make happy with anything but exactly what they demanded at the outset. Eh, if you're gonna gently caress off, it's better (for the alliance) that you gently caress off before you're put in a position to do damage, then after when you have roles and decided to jump ship to TEST and turn off a bunch of structures and raid hangars on your way out. I think that's more the reason for the wait, see if they can stick it out, impatient shitters will gently caress off because they were gonna do it anyways and take poo poo with them on the way out. orange juche fucked around with this message at 08:37 on May 25, 2017 |

So used to directors didn't really get fired for inactivity. There were a lot of people in charge who straight up didn't play eve and they either got replaced but kept their director powers or they kept doing their spacejob and nothing else and were bitter the entire loving time. I can't remember when exactly this was but eventually we started cleaning out inactive directors and its been a pretty big improvement. One of the reasons that mainfleet was poo poo for years is that we had this cultural attitude that you promote out of mainfleet. I don't go on mainfleet ops, I'm a director now. I don't go on mainfleet ops, I only go on capital ops. I don't go on mainflee ops, I'm in topgoon/blackops/space violence etc. This was one of the direct reasons that caused us to be perpetually a year or more behind the subcap meta. The rest of eve had a t3 doctrine for a year before we did and it was multiple years before we got an armor t3 fleet. We also never used logi that required cap chaining. We had no emphasis on improving the quality of our pilots and assumed everyone was too stupid to cap chain and have more than one expensive doctrine in their hangar. Eventually this changed. Once we fired the bitter vets and we hired directors that did their spacejob AND actually played eve the quality of our mainfleet improved dramatically. Instead of just assuming goons were too stupid to capchain, we used guardians and taught people how. We started using the cool kid doctrines like machariels and instead of only having one main doctrine we had machs AND proteus. So yeah. Bending over backwards for bitter vets who only post on the forums pretty much lead directly to a sub par mainfleet experience for loving years and if that upsets vily I don't care. Your priorities should be playing eve with friends first space power second and if that upsets you gently caress off. I've been down that road before and it results in people like blawrf who despise mainfleet ops being in charge of FCs. PookBear fucked around with this message at 09:36 on May 25, 2017 |

It's amazing how Blawrf was a hero who did hundreds of hours of work in every war first as recon head then as a highly successful skymarshal, then got upset about a situation which is nothing like what you describe - he wasn't "coming back" at the time, and he didn't demand to be in charge of anything: he had just gone to have a operation after various assurances - and now it turns out that he never did anything and was in fact a monstrous carbuncle on the face of a well-loved friend. As to "lawl if you had no fun ever blame blawrf" everyone here knows that the "don't fight unless you are guaranteed a win; never give the enemy fun" strategy comes right from the very top, not from each of the individual skymarshals who implemented that order. Blawrf wasn't, for instance, in charge during World War Bee and that was the absolutely defining strategy then. It's also slightly disingenuous to say that goonswarm wasn't a place where an FC could decide to invade someone. Sure, they couldn't just make a post saying "tomorrow we invade Tenal" but I don't know any alliance - even PL - where that is true, except possibly those where the head of the alliance is also the chief FC (pretty rare these days). Vee or Laz or (infamously on one occasion years ago) DBRB would say "yo we should invade Provi/Delve/Esoteria" and mittens would usually talk it through and then let them go with it. It might be different now but that was the case for years: an FC wanted to lead a campaign, and a campaign got led. It was most often Vee, and what changed there is that he could just deploy with EG without having to FC mainfleet so he understandably stopped doing the wider stuff.

Guess its just human nature. "How dare you not do what I say. I was director before you even signed up EVE!" "I will cry, I will rage to get what I want or attention from elsewhere! And its all your fault!" I think due to the monumental time EVE requires from the player to be successful, it really brings the worst out of people. Like the dude on reddit stole a mere 300b from friends he built up for 18 months.

Blawrf is a really good dude and did a ton of really good things for goons. The way he left was lovely and it rubbed people the wrong way. He has admitted that the way he left was probably less than ideal but we are all emotional creatures. If you still harbor ill will towards the man go get your sadbrain checked.

I don't treat my online friends same as my real life friends. Nonetheless they are still friends that I hang out and spend time with, it takes up time to build up. For example, you work(staring at screen and typing) 2 hours a day in an office for 20 pounds for hour, and you work(staring at screen and inputting commnads) 2 hours a day in EVE online and earn 1 pound worth of isk an hour. The conclusion is you are retarded for not buying isk, but would you treat that 1 pound you earn any less than 20 pounds from your boss?
