That night we performed the rite and opened the gate.
Halfway through, I went to fix us both a coke float.
By the time I got back, he'd gone insane.
Plus, he'd left the gate open and there was evil everywhere.


I remember running Incursions in low sec with goons and it was fun for a while until people started claiming we were "elitist" because we wouldn't let newbies in T1 fitted cruisers join the specifically fit AHAC fleet that had been theory crafted. Inviting randoms into the fleet and flowing their T3 cruisers up was :discourse:

Also never not forgetting DJ snorting wasabi in Amsterdam.

(this is HVAC)

Doing mostly well, I had a pretty lovely 2019 that included my long term partner and I splitting up, my father dying, and being a juror on a pretty well known murder trial. It took a pretty significant hit on my mental health, but I’m doing much better now than I was before.

edit: also special thanks to everyone who supported me and checked in after all that. samahiel and all the rudeass boys on discord, most of the Madison goons, Gonzo, etc. so many people who were in the know and knew I wasn’t doing well.

I was not the father of topgoon, but I was the midwife!

Even at the start, when they were one submission for the new squads, I remember the people involved were already being flagged as space-treasonous by an illum faction.

Took them till 2014 to get us. We limped along for another year or so then folded into blackops.

One of my proudest moments in eve was when Konno called me one of the most dangerous people in eve in a small gang scrap.

Yeah, found a good therapist and I’m in a good place right now. A bunch of EVE dudes were in the know before I went public with it and helped me deal with the trauma as I was fully processing all the hosed up poo poo I saw.

You still working in the media? How are you and your brother doing?

I think we were all one moment away from being labelled as the new ISRAD. And were looked down upon. My favorite moment was using 6-VDT as midpoint when we deployed to Delve. Watching Test panic as we brought a dozen or more carriers and a rorqual. This was before we reset Test.
I miss you guys but those days are long past. And it does bring a tear to my eye. But I was told Topgoon would never be allowed back. In no uncertain terms despite my efforts.

Long-time lurker here. Just wanted to say that seeing the thread rally like this feels like some kind of Singularity, and despite the hideous circumstances there's a lot of class and integrity on show atm. Good poo poo, carry on. I hope this results in some kind of justice or de-platforms him somewhat but if not, it's nice to see this level of solidarity and some long-lost bridges coming to light.

Nothing will happen to leadership. To change the executor corp, someone would have hold an alliance vote and the different corps would have to vote him out of leadership, which is unlikely to happen. Especially when they have voting corps they inserted themselves. The Mittani won't leave voluntarily because he has too much riding on businesses that get the fun tags of 'worthless' to his income. They can't replace some other leadership being called out because it's too much work, the load-bearing comment was spot on there.

Things will continue, they'll make minor changes, CCP is powerless. They apparently purged a bunch of people for different reasons, but it is what it is.

Recently held a poll for my own group, and then it got reposted to the goon comms. There were a remarkable amount of homophobic comments but hey goons being goons.

Bilirubin posted:

what about ships? Presumably this wouldn't work. And would involve logging in

Ships too, and it doesn't necessarily mean you have to log in. If the structure blows up, or gets taken down then your stuff automatically goes to asset safety. The only risk is if for some reason fuel blocks get pulled, or it runs out of fuel and the structure goes abandoned. Then the structure can be blown up and will drop your hanger and you lose your stuff.

It's rare that happens, but it is a greater than 0% chance.

https://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Asset_safety You can log in on alpha and push a couple buttons to asset safety your stuff, its pretty painless beyond logging in.

Add to that almost everyone with any integrity is now leaving, further concentrating the echo chamber.
