Sincerely appreciate the nod, but the new job has me working 50ish hours a week now (down from 70+) so I'm still trying to find a way to adjust getting meaningful time logged in with making life happen at home.

100% down for message mentor info boosts though. If you need supplies I can likely help with that as well. Expect delays though, and hit up Little Bees in game for faster answers and assistance.

also why are wormhole people surprised nullsec people do all kinds of groggy poo poo to hatefuck and destroy entire alliances, its half the reason we signed up in the first place

when I finally caved in and joined the game after watching poo poo burn vicariously on the forums here, I was really under the impression it would be a lot more like an extended Habbo Hotel kind of thing where no one except us does anything

I'm really glad I waited because seeing what the game was when things first came to be for us, I don't know if it would have grabbed me as much as the current game does. So much of what I really like doing has only been available the last couple years (and some of it less than a year - the "solo PvE" update was what finally convinced me to install). I'm not saying I am disappointed with who we are and what we do, I just kinda though it would be a lot more talking poo poo in local and not sucking on rocks and exploring.

I just rejoined. :)

I never really got into it, but I figured I'd take another crack at it.

It's fun already, I logged in and was in some random lowsec station with messages telling me my stuff was in other random lowsec stations. I had to jump around and collect it, since I didn't remember what I had.

I ended up somehow with a large dong-shaped ship that happens to have zero weapons, and I had to disable one repair module so I could even warp. I don't have the skills to have everything on without it draining power in 90 seconds, I guess. It'll probably get blown up when I try to get to Delve.

So I can't really do anything until I get unvacationed, unless I want to try and repair NPC hostiles to death, but watching my skill bars go up is exciting enough. I'm assuming Energy Grid Management V is what I need to fly around the in Dingus without having to disable stuff, only 3 days til that's done.

It's like the morning after getting blackout drunk and waking up in a ditch two towns over with your wallet, phone, and keys missing.

Holy gently caress I swear I didn't know any of this when I posted that this morning before going to work but I just learned that Santa is literally Satan :laffo:

First: it's an anagram. Then: Satan as a name derives from Saturn which in antiquity was known as the dark sun or the symbol of death. It all comes from the Romans who held some sort of winter festivities around the same time of our actual xmas called the "Saturnalia", celebrations we'd call pagan today where they worship (guess who?) Saturn, made gifts, decorated trees and hung sprigs of holly (which by the way is the plant the crown of thorns of Jesus was made of when he was crucified, and the red berries represent the blood he spilled during the agony). Then also the iconic representation of the old man with a white beard... he's a symbol of Kronos, or Saturn, so Satan. Another symbol of Saturn is the eye amongst 2 pillars (or horns like in Baphomet and a fuckload of other occult symbols) or... woo-hooo... the eye of Sauron in the Lord of the Rings (I guess you can get the lord of the rings = saturn analogy too!) :ohdear:

That was for the record. Back to spinning :yikes:

Don’t forget Yule and Norse mythology! Also Oester.

But I am pretty sure Santa is just a language evolution of Saint, morphing from Saint Nicholas to Santa Claus.

When Luther designated Christmas Day to be the day of gift giving AND celebration of Christs birth, instead of gifts on the 6th with St. Nicholas Day, that is where the muddying if Santa Claus and his origins start getting turned into a mix between the real Nicholas and other pagan traditions because you know, evangelism.

That's not a case that CCP, coincidentally Icelandic, made a game in which the main trading hub in the first era/iteration of the universe for some mysterious reasons happened to be called Yulai, then :ccp: tried to nerf it to obfuscate the blatant truth under everybody's eyes, they broke the north-south/east-west highways of New Eden, symbolizing the rupture of the cross and the consequent fall of evekind from the origin, and Yulai became Jita, the actual wall street of EVE where we all lose our souls to the god of 0.01 isk gudfites.

So I’ve come to a conclusion when it comes to EvE.

The only way this game is going to survive is if goons die. Now, I know every goon is going to downvote this and pipe up how PL was killing the game. Or how Goon hatred is so 2015, but coming from an anonymous player that’s been around to see the rise and fall of PL , or going back to Band Of Brothers.. This is the way it has to be. I’ll talk about a few key points.

Right now, Goons and their allies hold a large majority of the punching power. We seen that when they went north recently, we seen that when Init punched HK in the face. The amount of Keepstar proliferation in their space , and the super cap umbrella to guard the largest industrial operation in EvE’s history. I’m going to give Goons they’re cake, they did a heck a job on a comeback after WWB(Casino War, Or whatever your given name for it is.). Goons also have a cool community ( That’s less toxic then it used to be ), and one heck of a propaganda and Espionage department. So, I’ll give them the credit they deserved.

Here’s my point. Right now, no single entity can counter Goonswarm toe to toe. The one who is the closest to it is TEST, which is ALSO buddy buddy with Goons ( as we saw in the recent southern war.). So , this leaves us with today. Goons, their allies can deploy to content locations and farm the individuals while safely making their isk back home. It removes a lot of the risk of those deployments since well, who’s going to deploy to goons space and do the same to them? Now, there is some small groups and sigs who do it. The issue is, if PL today deployed to Delve entirely to farm Goons; Goons would deploy a sig to PL space and start taking PL’s space. So PL would have to make the choice, farm goons and lose their home in the process? They probably would go home to defend their own sov, and leave goons to either leave or ( in more likelihood ) Goons would deploy to crush PLs sov.

That’s the issue. With this state in EvE, If you’re not goons or their pet. Your content cannon fodder. Eventually it’ll be your turn in Null for goons to deploy to slap around your coalition until they pay 40 faction fortizars and kiss Little Mittens ring. People will get sick of it, and either move to Highsec , wormhole space ( which isn’t safe from the reach either as Hard Knocks found out ). The most likely move is these players will stop logging in. We’ll be doomed to become Serenity server.

The only way this can be adverted, is for goons to die. Eventually, there will be another war where a large portion of New Eden will get sick of it and decide to attack Goonswarm. There will be plenty of groups who will join in. If goons win this fight, game over. Neckbeards everywhere will throw up their hands, log off and count the days until Star Citizen comes out. The lynch pin in this is TEST. Will TEST back goons and maintain their mantle? Will they ally with enemies of old and and join the fight? If they join the fight, the good guys might win. Goons would have to start over again in a new home, and everyone can go back to shooting each other.

Another likely scenario is if TEST joins in, that TEST will be the next Goonswarm. Once again, same issue. Proliferation of super caps, keepstars, and the ability to farm content everywhere. If your not TEST or Goons, you blame the blob. They say your salty, and if your not them your not the cool kid. Well in this case, they’re the bully running the school. Do you want to be the nerd shoved in the locker anymore? TEST is the hot girlfriend of the Bully, the one you’ve been idolizing about. Is she going to stick with her bully boyfriend because he has all the money and buys her keepstars? Who knows. All I know, is if we keep on this path. This is endgame.

I’ll be sticking around, watching the fireworks. If a new MBC comes to fight goons, I’ll even join the war. Not just because of the content and the history making war effort, but because it’ll be a war for the fate of New Eden. It’ll be a war for the fate of EvE Online itself.

For those who want to make the comment on how Goons must of killed my shinny internet spaceship, or how this must be salt. I was in Goons for many years during the CFC up north. I left because I had friends I wanted to fly with elsewhere. Over all, the people are excellent and that’s why they’ve been successful. There is such a thing as game balance and there needs to be checks and balances in power. That’s what this is all about.

This post may get a lot of hate, which I don’t mind. I’m posting from an anonymous account for a reason. This is just my opinion. Also, Goons if your reading this. You can downvote all you like, and you’re probably loving being the bully; but we both know I’m right. Eve is Dying.

The rest of New Eden, you know what needs to be done.
