Right, yes, I feel like my original message is being lost here, that being "if someone sounded the horn of goondor, in all likelihood goons would simply not respond, rather than changing sides, on account of literally everyone involved on either side being poo poo"

Wing: this isn�t a discussion worth having.

I hope Delta splits, takes in all the Goonswarm expats and we have some awesome goon civil war scenario, with Delta becoming allies with a bunch of other Eve organizations that now want to see Goonswarm purged. It would make for such great content.

Nah, gently caress that, gently caress playing into whatever ~~truegoon schismatics~~ story Mittens will try to pull. Delta Sqad becomes Hole Sqad, carrying the torch of "let's have fun, be chill, and do spaceships" but in w-space where we can boogeymen at whoever we like.

Holy poo poo. Am I correct in understanding that Delta Sqad was fully aware of stalking, transphobia and other bigotry in GSF, yet elected to remain part of it for years? Please tell me that's not the case and I'm misunderstanding.

ah yes, you have exactly hit the point and the real issue of this discussion, congratulations. Please go hibernate another 10 years before you illuminate us all again.

That's fair, I wouldn't let them play into anything. Just let it self destruct I guess. As long as all the good goons find a home somewhere and get to play together one last time, so be it.

There is something perfect about the way that picture and the tag line fit together. Really captures the vibrating, barely-contained, hyperfocused energy that is border collie.

(seriously, don't get a border collie unless you have acres and many sheep)

I got my border collie before I got my SA account and she's currently sleeping off the day's exertions by my feet. She was a major factor in why I decided to leave the city and move to a house in the country, for which I am also grateful.

Roller Coast Guard: Aug 27, 2006; With this magnificent aircraft,

So the Xenuria thing.

I don't get it.

If Xenuria had been some sort of hotshot FC, or major supercap producer, or spent 18 hours a day doing citadel logistics or whatever the gently caress then I could at least see some cold horrible logic in the idea of covering up for him to avoid a loss of someone who was useful to the space empire.

But it's Xenuria. All he did was babble nonsense in local and creep out other more useful and morally correct alliance members. Why the gently caress would you expend any effort whatsoever on protecting him? Is this just some vulgar display of power thing to demonstrate the ability to convince the proles to disbelieve the evidence of their own eyes and ears?

(I realise that there's a more straightforward answer to the question "why would you want to keep the guy with a habit of acquiring and sharing underage nudes in your online circle")

It's because he flattered mittens and was a young person. That's it. Everything else was window dressing to attempt to sell it to us.

delta sqad was deader than disco for 10+ years. once the horn of goondor sounded, a few of us old timers got the band back together and attracted a bunch of newer goodposters. we assumed the whole cultural revolution was the real deal and cool and good.

as you can see, we are quite muscular posters, and when it came to light how one of our own was being hosed over (6 months after the fact once appropriate channels had been ignored) we got to posting. turns out there were a lot of other folks similarly hosed over during our long slumber.

IIRC, Mittani kept him around because he thought he had an ability to psychoanalyze people in a way that no one else could. Like, to use a theme-appropriate analogy, he more than likely (in his mind) considered him a Malkavian. (For those who didn't spend their adolescence on pen and paper RPGs, it's the vampire clan that was incurably insane, but prone to eerie fits of otherworldly wisdom. The name of the Elysium chatroom also comes from this same RPG, for reference.)

Might I humbly suggest that we make it:

1. Entirely WH focused, no sov bullshit, no interacting with the nullsec great powers.
2. Goon + goon friends.
3. Try not to interact with imperium / exist to gently caress with imperium etc.

Just trying to think of ways to avoid it being some 'bitter ex' kind of poo poo. I would consider resubbing if it was just chill folks loving around in wormholes.

Likewise, probably best to eventually make a new thread again, and just mention that Imperium / Goonfleet have nothing to do with somethingawful.com going forward and link to https://groomswarm.wtf/
