I was and am just a line member, but I seem to remember that a few years after the Fountain War our skymarshal--the head of coord, not an FC--was a woman. Coord is a group that moves the fleets around the board, as opposed to FCs who run individual fleets. I don't recall the name, alas.

Edit: Someone mentioned the name earlier: it was Rydis, I believe. I don't know anything about her other than the general sense that she was very, very good at coord.

I thought Big McHuge was our coordinator during fountain war

I can tell you as someone with Volta experience with ISRAD as well as relay access, Volta is much worse than you can ever imagine. Snuff has taken in quite a few Volta refugees over the past bit who can confirm their absolute toxicity, both in game and out.

No, see what you did there was try and use the R word in a sneaky way. I mocked Mittens.

there are numerous non 'R' word references that can be derived from oxygen deprivation, such as "learnincurve went to hard with their auto asphyxiation session about Goon drama and suffered a lack of oxygen as a result"

the sneaky little racist white supremacist '1488'' phrase you used in your own joke unfortunately has only one reference which is the slogan for the defunct white separatist insurrectionist group The Order, a white nationalist group.

Everyone who has done the Goonfleet thing since Day 1 and is thinking of quitting the game entirely should really try small groups and/or wormhole stuff. I had a great time doing it for a while with random pubbies getting into fights and learning how to actually play way more than I ever did in years of big alliance fights with some angry man screaming over TS. In small groups you can like squint your eyes and see how Eve can have fun gameplay outside of industry or market stuff.

It has the added benefit of being able to park your stuff in HS somewhere when you want to take a break from MMOs for a while like a normal person

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.

Yo Arkhamina! I wanna apologize for being a shithead to you back in the day.

It was only ever because of getting readonlyed by you on the forums or something like that, like never any personal conflict iirc, but I still remember a span of about a few months where i was taking a lot of shots at you that were pretty loving rude, and frequent, and i do genuinely apologize for that, it was uncalled for and i hope i didn't cause you any irl upset.


I had an issue with getting a 'reaction' out of people, drat near compulsion, and you'd never break your composure and i was envious that you were as in control of your emotions as you were (or at the very least appeared to be) and over time it made me feel really foolish & realize i was doing stuff that was
good for nobody and helped me break away from that kind of mentality both online and irl - so, thank you, in a weird way as well, but more importantly, I'm sorry.

WH stuff is amazing, we do a thing in tiny coalition of miners where we teach scanning and send newbies in to gas mine with the promise that we will give them a new venture if they die and it's the best thing. Sometimes they get blown up, sometimes they come back rich, but 50/50 they end up joining a WH corp themselves.

Foxhole is pretty fun too. Same sandbox with a steep learning curve feel, but way lower stakes.

There are a lotta Eve retirees / refugees, and the Goon presence is a) pretty chill with fairly distributed leadership, and b) the kind of people who take strong action on harassment and bigotry.

(Stereotype has been playing a lot lately, as an example.)

Just sayin'.

He's not a Nazi. Nazis care way, way too much about stuff that isn't him. Mittani's ideology is, well,

He's a pickup artist. I'm not kidding. He uses pua terminology on the regular for discussing all sorts of real life and in game issues are described by him in terms of +ev or -ev. He was deep in the 'scene' for a while after his wife left him because.. do I really have to finish this sentence? you know why

ofc she was a 'crazy lying manipulative cluster b narc' according to him aswell, lol

I’ll never forget blackops coms when Travis “Travis loving Wells” Wells stopped mid coitus when he heard we had a carrier tackled. Then he solod the carrier in a dictor because he was the only person smart enough to listen to me.

The carrier jumped gate with just a smidge of hull left and Travis bubbled and popped it in one volley.

I like Travis because he doesn’t suffer from “Smartest man in the room” syndrome when doing small gang. He heard me say “I need you to hold gate this guy plays gate games all the time”

Everyone else “knew better” so Travis got to solo a carrier in a Sabre.
