The problem with casinos is it made rmt impossible to police.

It was never 'impossible' they just never really devoted time to doing anything about it before.

It happened, people got caught, but never like the casino purge. Wasn't Somer the biggest offender anyway?

One more accurately reflects the cause of the war, what over shadowed the war and wasn't a dumb marketing ploy.

Nah. 'Casinos' were a Mittani talking point, I mean- sure alliances were getting funded in small part by Lenny and Co., but half the things he said he'd pay for, he never actually paid for (which somehow hurt BFM the most).

PL had been swimming in money from years of Tech mining before this, even BR-5 didn't break the PL war chest. Sorry the title of the PL Campaign update doesn't fit your narrative.

So what you are saying is our current northern campaign should be a war of total annihilation? No mercy and no quarter, after all we wouldn't want them coming back like goons did for revenge.

The amount some groups were getting funded by Lenny and friends was blown way the gently caress out of proportion.

A lot of talk happened, many promises were made- very few actually kept. Of course you knew all this though- because the Black Hand or whatever isn't an absolute joke and actually provides solid intel, right?

Why is the link for returning from vacation locked behind access that requires me to not be vacationed?

B - Returning Members
This is for people who were previous members of Goonwaffe. They still have an active Goonfleet.com forums account, but their account status has been set to either "Vacationers" or "Members" rather than [GS] Goonfleet - which is reserved for active members. As a result of this account status change, this person will have restricted or no access to forums and services.

To start your return, follow these steps:
1: Add all of the characters that you own to our system at https://esi.goonfleet.com. Make sure they are all registered. If you have unregistered characters we will make you register them so you don't get flagged for removal.
2: Take a screen capture of your "My Characters" screen within the ESI system. (i.e. taken of the website https://esi.goonfleet.com. We do not want to see your in game character sheet!)
3: Send an email to newbies@goonfleet.com which:
- identifies your Goonfleet name;
- identifies your SA name or sponsor;
- identifies the first pilot you want us to send an invite to; and
- attaches the screen capture noted above.
4) Await a reply email from newbies@goonfleet.com telling you that your character has received an invitation in game.
5) Accept the invitation in game.
6) Go to https://esi.goonfleet.com/Group/Reset. Follow the instructions. You may have to wait up to two hours for the system to detect that your character has joined Goonwaffe. Don't send an email to newbies@goonfleet.com about a problem until you have waited to hours after accepting the invite to try this.

Please note, you cannot rejoin Goonwaffe unless you have either 1) an active SomethingAwful account or 2) a sponsor who is active in Goonwaffe who has a SomethingAwful account or has been naturalized or c) special dispensation. If you had an active sponsor and he's gone, and you cannot locate a new sponsor, there is a process to grant special dispensation. You had better be good a writing since it will have to be taken to the directorship.

If you can get it installed without anyone noticing and killing it while in progress, then yes*. Bonus points for doing it in a system where caps can't come in.

*I mean if you're the only one defending it, and you lose hole control, you could theoretically be killed and rolled out long enough for it to go into low power mode... Or if a hostile entity seeded enough ships in to take it down...

So it would be 99.999% unkillable.

250k skill points sounds a lot, and I'll probably upgrade for at least a month which generates 350 plex, so if anyone wants to pm me a referral link it would be appreciated*
