in other news, someone told me on discord that they forwarded a guy to my character in game to 'pay reparations' to CODE, so I logged into my now-alpha clone character and scammed that guy for 30 billion, and then logged off. It took about 35 minutes.

I wasn't able to get his SP, but I got all his liquid and assets (22/~10)

The opposite. A guy has been waffeing so hard he thinks "has logged into jabber or mumble or a fleet even once in 90 days" is "we need tp reports by noon" I guess

The metrics include did you log into the forums, did you make a post on the forums, did you log into mumble, did you log into jabber. Basically did you engage with the "goon community" in any way at all? Dude would have been fine just solo ratting in delve this whole time if he occasionally chatted with other goons on the GSF services.

I post all the time and generate tons of delightful content!

In other news I have successfully extricated myself from 1DQ with only a slight haircut! I put all my junk up for a fire sale contract and got a buyer in about 4min flat. Now I've got more isk than I know what to do with :v:


After I sold everything in 1DQ I loaded all of my more portable assets (like blueprints) up into my last trusty Proteus. It was 40+ jumps to my base in highsec so it was a harrowing experience to get out. I got bubbled twice (wow good response time), but luckily my Proteus is bubble nullified!


Aside from the blueprints I was mostly worried about my full set of +5 learning implants. Would have been a very nice kill mail for anyone who popped me, but they are in high sec now so they are safe forever. I think I might start trading in Jita, 1DQ was a snore anyway with the war going on. Maybe tool around Syndicate, like a True Goon

I mean those are just conversations between that individual and mittens. They’ve happened before, Cap, Diogenes, and Pooki Bear are all examples I can recall.

The only real requirement is a desire to return and the ability to have grown up conversations. It can be hard to take that first step to reach out and to keep reaching out until you get ahold of him.

I directly caused triglavs to destroy nearly 100b in a single day loving around, I could have boosted that stat SOOOOO much for them

Escaping from Delve was really fun and interesting. More fun than I had in a while at EVE actually. I was saving up for a titan, but now that my services are no longer needed in cap swarm I can spend that isk on 100 Proteus to tool around wormholes or something.

Yeah but I don't want to is the thing. I was lucky this time I didn't have much going on in 1DQ, but if I had been building a titan or something it would have ruined me. I don't want to have to worry about randomly getting booted and losing all of my services because space HR is riding some directors rear end about metrics. This was the second time it happened without any kind of warning. Makes me feel like the Imperium is just too big for me to have fun, I'm just a number not worth contacting before getting the boot.

I mean I understand why it has to be run that way. There are just too many people in the swarm for it to be handled personally. But now that I have a pile of isk and can fly most ships I'd rather play somewhere in a smaller corp that would value my contribution more. Also screw waiting a week in 1DQ with my thumb up my rear end again, I pay real life money for this game. No thanks.

to be honest if I flew with goonswarm again it might motivate to get my titan out of AP and play more. An un-blacklist has been brought up a few times before, but I'm not sitting around waiting for it. If it happens, neat, if not, also cool, not gonna sweat about how goons run their show in EVE. I think the original technical mumbo jumbo reason was I was more loyal to ncdot than goons or whatever (because I leaked gicer/boat being jerks to people in another game) but the irony is I was blacklisted from ncdot as soon as I joined goonswarm :v:

IDK how to get a hold of mittens if it's up to him, so it's all good either way. It would be nice to shitpost jabber again with bros though. :toot:

I think he's in a couple discords. I could find out which ones if you were interested in talking to him. It's never going to just "happen" on its own. Every unblacklist I've witnessed has involved personal conversations between the individual and Mittens or Sion.

I guess given Merkelchen being the new Sion you could try him too.
