Wait, WHAT. It was HIS name that caused that entire scandal?? Good grief.



So, if a poster on somethingawful.com wants to join a corp in the game Eve Online, and not join Goonswarm...what are the alternatives?

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.

Imo go join that lgbt wormhole alliance that got linked a few pages back, I have some irl friends that have mentioned them a few times and they're very fun to play with according to those gals.

It is better to not fight, my man. people give you poo poo because you have a very confrontational demeanor at times. I think you're not always aware of how confrontational you're coming off as, and then feel like people are attacking you, when they feel like you're attacking them first, or might have a legitimate reason to be upset with you, and in that case, you want to listen to people telling you how you're making them feel - don't get angry, It might not feel good, but it's generally gonna be honest, especially when you hear it from multiple people in multiple situations

This is real talk I'm not trying to be mean here, there's no reason to want enemies, and unnecessarily escalating stuff makes enemies more often than it does anything else. you don't really want the smoke - you want to get along with people and not feel like theyre dogging on you, but you've got to try to de-escalate, even if you're upset, or the cycle isn't going to stop happening.

people respond to anger with anger, try your best to not put anger out and you'll notice a lot less people sending it in

This is the same person that mittani was grooming to seduce a CCP employee - i just made that connection jfc.

That's Eronarn.

Oh my God. H o l y poo poo deadtear you keep being so loving helpful with this stuff

Holy shiitt i forgot the kirtaner-and-associate bans, that guy was 100% pedophile & i never interacted with him for the record, only saw his creepy posts & people discussing him & i hadn't spoken to Eronarn since trying to release the Usefully Homosexual plot in 08 or 09, I'm clarifying all this because i don't wanna imply Any personal adjacency to that 420chan poo poo - but am i remembering this right:

He (Eronarn) eventually got banned from here for the connection/adjacency to THAT pedo poo poo, too didn't he? (I just looked it up and he got a ban for creepy poo poo in 2012, I'm guessing that's what it was but I don't have archives so I can't see the post)


has this spaceship game organization created on these forums just been a weird videogame/internet little st james Island for a cabal of groomers/pedophiles and their victims in a repeating cycle of abuse all the way back to like 2007?

It Gets Worse Again

That kinda gives you an idea about the people we've been fighting. ElitestOps left the first time largely because they could still be "ironically racist" in PL.
