I came from a corp where a very well loved director did this poo poo, the alliance absolutely hosed that up because they couldn't separate sexual harassment issues from moon drama

drat, I am going to have to read all 42 pages now to figure out wtf is the current drama.

I won Eve 6 or 7 years ago, and miss the camaraderie a lot. Tried other games (Ugh, Final Fantasy) but nothing ever stuck, since I was broke brained and confused video games with work, after spending 20+ hours a week for 5 years in GSOL. Now I just play Deep Rock Galactic and go hiking a lot.

On the other hand, I don't have to make excuses to myself on why I tolerate being around lovely people like Mittani. He's the perfect example of someone who got eaten by their online persona.

I'm not space famous or anything just some random white noise nobody but this kinda sums up a lot. The Imperium and The Emperor Of Space, line-members-as-a-devoted-deathcult stuff was amusing when it was just a cringe roleplay persona to create interest and story in a game that would otherwise be excel with a pretty background, but playing pretend too long seems to have gotten to some people's heads lmao

At the end of the day, volunteer space leadership is about fostering a safe and enjoyable environment for your fellow human beings to enjoy their hobby together, from the space game stuff to the infrastructure stuff to the tedious and emotionally draining actual-trust-and-safety stuff, and that last part, actual trust and safety, does really need to be taken way more seriously and handled with more sensitivity than has been demonstrated.

The problem with saying "Amber Heard-ing" something is that, as the trial showed, both people are pieces of poo poo, and the problem is there's no one person at fault because they were both telling the truth at the other being abusive towards them. The verdict even said so, but because the nature of the case being the offensive for Johnny Depp on his account of defamation specifically, that's why he won. If he was tried specifically for being abusive, he would have lost. So would she in the vice-versa of events.

this is an inaccurate description of what happened, posted in the wrong thread

hello fellow gon, i have seen a few folks asking about groups in eve that are not stuffed to the gills with poo poo heads. to that end i will do my best to lay out some options for folks that want to play eve online but don't want to deal with capital 'g' Gamers:

all of the gigantic null blocs are the same or worse than the imperium on these issues. don't argue with me on this - i have access to relays of most groups general chats, i see their line members and leadership show their asses in community discords. if you want to get away from this kind of behavior, the big groups ain't it. the only caveat is that i do not have visibility into the non-english speaking asian communities within those blocs. Whereas most of the euros post in English on english language forums, the asian groups do that a lot less. You'll have to ask someone else how things are in the Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Taiwanese, Vietnamese, and Filipino language contingents of the major blocs.

smaller groups to avoid: No Forks Given, TISHU, Bad-touch, Snuffed Out, ur dunked, shadow cartel

groups that exist that i don't have much insight into the culture of anymore: We Form Bl0b, V0lta (but they're euros so i can guess), Lazerhawks, Hard Knocks

Recommendations

Large groups: Brave. They're presently in a fight for their lives and dunk dinkle has done a good job (so far as i can tell) of tamping down the toxicity that flourished under the leadership of people that hosed off to TEST after wwb2.

WHers: Prismatic Legion

Mid-sized: Crunchwrap coalition. As a matter of disclosure, I'm currently in a member of this coalition called Deepwater Hooligans. The group skews younger and is almost entirely Dudes, but the leadership does not tolerate any manner of bigotry or harassment and has actively examined itself and identified areas it can improve. The other group is Of Sound Mind, which is run chiefly by a group of trans women that know one another irl

otherwise, your best bet is just getting together with some buds and doing stuff at a small scale.

Same here, ie no ideological bent, but I also thought it was fnln (or someone they knew?) who catfished them to end up with the remdick dramabomb. If nothing else wasn't fnln the one to break the initial story?

Sorry, does not impact the lovely handling of abuse either way, just the "keylogger" stuff seemed a bit out of left field vs now distant memory of that whole ordeal.

okay so this post is kinda disjointed because a lot of stuff I haven't thought about in a while comes back the more I think about it and I just kind of throw the details in and I wanna take a shower so aplogies for the pulpfiction style interlaced old goonstories here but they're all kinda connected and give eachother contact

Nah, it was a keylogger installed by a goon, who's name i can't remember, wanna say it started with a T, if anyone remembers the goon thay was staying at remedials house as a roommate for a few months under the specific direction of Mittani (Best man at Remedial's wedding, remember) as a "security assurance" to make sure he couldn't skip away with the Titan fund as they were suspicious & because they thought he was skimming off the resub commissions and goon merch (he was, to both)

they were pulling in like $130k a year off merch and d.dargon snatched up like ~90k of that to himself, off merchandising alone, and another half of about 70 grand in resub commissions from that one website they'd always plug, I wanna say. All 2006-7 dollars, not adjusted for inflation.

Rem was a theif from day one. Robbed every single previous gooncorp one way or another, he was the reason they'd all collapsed.

I wasn't a part of the business end of Goonfleet, ever, idk who all else got paid. Probably mostly him


iirc that whole hustle got hosed up when Lowtax threw a C&D at them for the logo and they had to change it, and then after the remedial fallout, they never got that kind of money coming in again thru merch.

I want to say that this involved a period of time where the game and org were verboten from SA over it, but it may have only been threats until it was sufficiently altered, this is when it went from grenade logo with wings to the gsf bee & imperium logo (which, i swear they got yelled at by games workshop over that too, but gw yells at literally everything that mentions their ip at all so that may not be correct)

I know merchandising was the goldmine tho, those $20 shotglasses and $10 stickers and poo poo.( I just woke up and haven't thought about those details in a minute so those numbers may be off if anyone else remembers to better detail, but they're in the ballpark, six figure stuff.)


Sidenote: This was happening while this grown rear end mans with a law degree begged goons to pay for *his* rent, *too*. (isn't it funny how history rhymes ha ha ha)


Goonfleet was pulling in big money for 2006-7 spaceship guilds

The login info was slipped to me ingame via another director, who I won't name out of respect for their not being dragged into poo poo w/o their sayso (they haven't played or been in the community in a decade) who told me they were distributing it to me specifically to be spread around by me, because it'd give em plausible deniability, "DON'T SAY WHERE THIS CAME FROM THIS, CONVERSATION NEVER HAPPENED", as me and remedial were known to hate each other very openly by then, and i wasn't in the corp proper anymore

so it'd be a thing where the assumption would start at the one dissemenating the stuff, and be difficult for any irl recourse as i was a minor* on the other side of the country before smartphones were really a thing, and had never, ever shown a photograph or real name at that point - People thought my name was Omar irl for a decade, lmao.

(*Mittani has used young men to do his dirty work, this is a constant & has never changed, Xenuria is his latest disciple, before that it was Vio, Eronarn, Digi, all young, impressionable men used to give a barrier of plausible deniability. It. Is. A. Pattern. )

Anyways, I, being a 16-17 year old who hated remedial's guts by that point, dug up everything i could find and flung it into the air like a dog in a catbox
but i 100% didn't have anything to do with the *criminal fuckin' conspiracy* to acquire the login info, it was simply given to me with the direction of 'Spread. Everything. Everywhere. I didn't find out the full truth on how it came out until after, when I'd already checked out from the game.

I was told around the time that it was from Rem sharing his account details with directors and him using the same pw for his email and they found out on a guess.

If I'd known what's up then, i would've leaked that in the immediate aftermath to get a one-two on Rem and Mittani at the same time because i *also* hated his guts at the time & shortly after started working with Eronarn to release the dumps of that "Usefully Homosexual" chatlog (Google phrase + Mittani, Eronarn tweeted about it again in 2020, adding he was 17-18 at the time of request) but the timing was wrong, people outside of goonfleet didn't care who he was, people inside were told to ignore the bitter vets, and the rollout was ineffective to alert the greater eve community so he has never faced any comeuppance for that one.


I think that story of me catfishing remedial got mixed up because I *would* catfish dudes on OkCupid occasionally just to be a lovely kid, waste their time for an hour and then post the chatlogs on the goonfleet forums in its very beginning days.

again, i definitely wouldn't do that stuff today either, but if you're a depressed 16 year old with no irl social support & dozens of people online laughing at stuff you do telling you it's funny+cool, odds are you're gonna do it - not that I'm proud of it, but i ain't gonna deny it either

that was a real chick from aff he was tryna bang, the log was from his email. God knows why aff would plaintext log and email all of your chats to you, but it appeared to -
[EPILOGUE]
That was the closest he appeared to ever get to a threesome.
He has children now, and is in the military last I heard.

He changed his name, I'm not gonna doxx him right here - but the name is funny like if you knew Dan Dargon, you'd think his new name was funny and loving dumb too. It's not going to help him escape being disbarred in the state of NH & fined $300k, for running mortgage foreclosure assistance scams targeted against senior citizens

which he appears to have skipped out on paying back, on googling to make sure i was correctly remembering that whole thing
