any word from innominate no?


Reading the mittani's statement, I was actually bulled out of Goonwaffe.

I bought a snake and found some good people to fly with and moved on.

I have to ask why does he think he is worth more than me? Because he fought a online war in 2020? I couldn't play eve in 2020 because I was under lockdown for 2 years because of my job looking after immunocompromised disabled kiddies, that's what hell looks like you privileged gently caress, every single day praying that no one coughs because if they do 30 children die. I just wanted to fly with my forum buddies, gently caress Innominate and gently caress the mittani and his poor me speech.

Eh, it was a pretty dumb thing. Someone would make a post like "OMG LEAKS HERE (url to a pastebin whose sole contents are 'ur gay pwned')". A KNEE-SLAPPER, I tell you. Everyone would emit a hearty guffaw, or perhaps a more reserved chortle. This is where the humor is made.

SOME REALLY TEDIOUS DUMB SHIT THAT SUCKS ASS TO READ ->>
step 1) sweep under the rug for months, stonewall anyone who asks what happened, ban the victim
step 2) smear the victim, minimize it as drama and not a real issue, 'that bitch should find the block button' 'the amber heards of the world'
step 3) weak-rear end, transparently self-serving non-apology apology put somewhere that the victim can't even see
step 4) spill lots of ink claiming this is all just a plot by enemies to get get him to step down. zero hint of self awareness or introspection at all
step 5) step down while still taking zero accountability whatsoever, imply all the accusations were bullshit and that the enemy plot worked and actually stepping down is a noble act of self sacrifice for the benefit of everyone else. fail to address any of the other accusations coming out.

what will step 6 hold? stay tuned to find out as mittani boldly rewrites the textbook of exactly how not to handle someone reporting sexual harassment in your organization

Man, what a sad loving situation, everyone deserves to be part of a community that handles things better than this.

My memory of this event (and I was never in superfriends) was that Sesfan needed to step down because he got caught waving a gun around in college (or university or something) and a new CEO needed to be chosen. Darius and I chatted at fanfest, with Darius asking me to persuade Sesfan to choose Darius.

So I did. Then Sesfan passed on CEO to Darius.

If my memory is incorrect, please feel free to correct me.

I honestly don't remember the precipitating event, but that was exactly our M/O: pile stress and stress on poor Sesfan while preparing and convincing his friends and trusted circle to point to our people when he inevitably fell.

This person is a goon. That line is from an OLD recruitment ad that ran on the SA forums back in like 2008 - shortly after some newbie in a rifter(?) decloaked/tackled a BoB titan which led to its demise (back when titan deaths were incredibly rare)

It's still current. That ad gets updated with new events. We all know that story, it's one of the foundational legends of GSF.

The thing I find most bewildering is the idea that anyone would want internet spaceships importance and responsibility :psyduck: Like, in the parallel universe where I somehow fell into the CEO job, you wouldn't have to subtly socially manipulate my friends to coup me - you'd just have to say "hey can I have that job" and I'd go "oh please jesus yes thank you"

We didn't want responsibility, we delegated that to the "Illuminati." Rather the opposite, in fact: we wanted unaccountable power with freedom from any responsibility.

i think asher is not a bad dude at heart, but he has been one-tricking the evasive maneuver of "enlightened fence-sitter" in situations like this ever since becoming a regular FC in the alliance almost a decade ago.

one of the most important roles he plays in the institutional dynamics of GSF is being the catch-all figure whose imaginary character people will still respect ("The Reasonable Guy", as a vibe) and still put loyalty and trust in, despite perhaps being fed up with how annoying and unlikable top leadership are — and thus they stay roped (back) in, where having to rationalise away cognitive dissonance does the rest by itself. again, i'm just talking about the structural dynamics — he may be a complicit rug-sweeper but he's not one of these epic bacon disney villain aspirants like a bunch of the other mastermind-larpers in "illum" and up.

i'm not laying this out to vilify him, rather just to point out that what you're identifying as "how he's siding now" is a long-term one-trick that he does every time something like this happens, and that "asher will save us" people are basically just symptoms demonstrating that the dead-horse good cop bad cop routine is still working as it was administratively designed to.

this in turn points towards e.g. kesper being one of the only people in this whole thread who understands that this is not an institution you can fix with reform.

Silent Dodger is the loving awful RA leader in 2012 or 13 or so who was absolutely openly scraping the alliance clean of every ISK he could and transferring it to get intermediaries to sell it for cash. He cleaned them out, and it was only later when I discovered this that his sly demands and requests during negotiations for LODRA's first excursion back to the south made sense.

I know that everyone accuses every Russian leader (eve and irl obv) of corruption but google "eve online silent dodger rmt" and you'll see he shamelessly admitted it.
