Gwyneth Palpate posted:Still don't understand why it's in response to me saying "there's probably a better way to convince people to side with you and your efforts to right wrongs than posting in a thread whose readership is three orders of magnitude lower than the necessary population required to affect change." Besides didn't Darius Johnson already try to lead a revolt of "True Goons" to wrest control from Mittens several years back only to disappear again? I distinctly recall deadtear involved in some True Goons posting for a week or two

Sickening posted:I am not trying to discredit this line of thinking, but this twitch viewership you are talking about is pretty nonexistent. The guestimate on the active subs is larger for the viewership size, but for a single person to try to live on that revenue wouldn't be all that... exciting. Much less a group of people. I never said anything about personal income? Running forums/jabber/mumble for 30-40k people is probably less expensive than it used to be but things like DDoS protection still aren't cheap. If they're making enough to cover that, the threat of not meeting those costs might be used to break through to leadership, but that and all the other stuff would still need sizeable alliance support etc and probably wouldn't get off the ground anyway. I also haven't watched imperium twitch since the m-2 battle, so I have no clue about real viewership numbers. madjack fucked around with this message at 04:34 on Jul 11, 2022 |

Its also not 2007 anymore. Things like DDOS protection are way more available and easier to price and scale to your needs than the old days. it can be about as cheap or expensive as you can afford.

I also feel I should point out for the sake of fairness that I have seen multiple people get booted in the last 6 months for being some variation of twat or another. I have no idea why it took so long for this particular one to get the boot and that's why I'm so curious to know what happened to "the process". The picture some of you have painted of "the old days" does sound a far cry from Elysium and the general vibe of the alliance for the past however many months i've been back.

RustySeabutter posted:like they ripped off newbies while citing off their extensive proof of being the most educated member of the corp kinda poo poo? the money is just sitting I'm not playing the game anymore it's a move of protest, and as far as i can tell it's working exactly as intended, so hell no, I'm not going to back down on my principles here. I'll pay out to anyone leaving imperium no problemo, if nothing changes, it'll sit. if they did a drat thing to show initiative on this instead of loving blowing it all up -or- mittani hadn't offered to take responsibility for all debts in an attempt to erase this scandal, I'd maybe care more about the situation, but Mittani has known me since i was *fourteen years old* in *2005*. Firstname Lastname always gets his isn't just a catchphrase I'm loving Stubborn and principled and if something violates a principle of mine i will not budge even if it makes people really upset with me because that's not what it's about : it's about having principles. My highest principle in EVE was to never gently caress goons, my principles for basic human respect, morality and acceptable behavior when it comes to real situations that matter exceed my videogame principles in importance and when the two come into contact with eachother real wins every time and if the lesser principle suffers some damage but it supports the greater, that's acceptable collateral to me. I'm not gonna be playing the game, the money is just gonna sit on its rear end and maybe if some directors get off theirs and do the right thing, I'll feel more charitable to the situation they've created but as for now, i am going to let it loving sit. Don't @ me son

I gotta say taking 3 months to inhume a sex pest and then loving up and executing the victim is A++ leadership ability guys. For the record the whole cult of mittens poo poo that has been growing since about 2013 has always made me a little uncomfortable. Imo callout threads and rabble rousing are proud goon traditions. The fact that everything has to be done behind closed doors allows a lot of grody poo poo and poor decision making to be made by people who really aren’t half as clued in as they think they are. A good brick against the glass on occasion can shake things up and correct the course. But that’s not allowed anymore, and frankly THAT more than anything makes me uncomfortable. It’s not exactly a huge secret that the way leadership handles things in general is why I rarely stick around anymore. Goons are always our own worst enemies.

Gwyneth Palpate posted:what's with the alzheimer's-esque fits of rediscovery going on itt all of a sudden When directors gently caress up it’s time for all old grievances to be aired, so that’s part of it. Another part is that the directorate is nowhere near as transparent as it frankly needs to be in a lot of situations. I don’t know if anyone has noticed but Mittens executes people who makes noise. He doesn’t pay much attention if they have a good reason to make noise or not. I can’t stress enough when director dipshits circle the wagons in times like this it only makes things worse. PS seriously why is Xenuria still allowed to be?

The useful discussion we were having has now devolved into random shitflinging instead of focusing on the actual issue. and I've no interest in listening to that or people namedropping the pricks of yesteryear for nostalgia clout. PuppiesAndKittens i hope i catch up with you in discord because I'd still like to hear about what happened and what went wrong. Beyond that all I can really do is keep an eye out and call out any shithousery I see. If that gets me kicked and nothing helps then so be it.
