In current news The Mittani of Eve Online resigned amid loving wild confirmed story's that are too fresh for Saga. But the current business went down in the MMOHMO Eve thread posted late June 2022. I love sifting through drama to find a narrative, but this one has been the most alien, tedious, and obfuscated to find first or second hand words for.

But Eve has Sagas. One thread to find them is how the Horn of Goondorgets sound every now and again. It is a kinda of call roster using these forums as a kinda sleeper notification numbers station for manpower requirements. It's been sound a couple times in the past few decades. Ive lost the details for Eve stories but everyone should know that Vilrerat was for real at Benghazi, the original poster who held information that could lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton.

Eve and goonfleet have been such a big thing for so long there are multiple sagas going back to the founding that really only make sense after having to explain a ton of Eve context.

It seems like most of it was basically loving around with other guilds and inciting them to do really stupid things then profit after the eventual failure.

Yes. Since Eve has always been designed to easily convert between ingame and real money, it's measurable in the tens of thousands of dollars of thefts and destruction.

Vague memories of Goonfleet stories are

- a lot of j4g people getting hazed in GBS
- having to spend 2 years doing the lowest level grind work and giving a huge chunk to the guild, like a job basically
- Vilerat being a big deal in the guild
- Something about wars or whatever, there was a big one last year they baited a bunch of major guilds into attacking and won

MMO dynamics are hosed. There was another 'blow-up' last year for the New World MMO because one of the goon members was a known racist/sexist pig but was also a massive MMO player so people put up with him for the sake of having him in raids and stuff.

This one is from 12~ years ago or so: Former goonfleet CEO had a keylogger installed on his home machine by someone paid by the then-wannabe CEO. They found emails from adultfriendfinder of dude and his wife trying to score a theeesome complete with pictures of said dude’s tiny dick. Those pictures were then “leaked” to an underage kid who they knew would spread them everywhere. Pictures of that guys dick were then allegedly faxed to the law office he worked at.

(Turn out his law office specialized in victimizing elderly people during the 2008 financial crisis so maybe don’t feel too bad for him).

Dickpic guy has now literally changed his name to escape humiliation only he changed it to something even sillier than his original name (which was fairly silly to begin with).

The end

Tl;Dr: goonfleet is really hosed up

Pubes dreaded out so hoes call me Chris Barnes. I don't wear a condom at the pig farm.
When I worked at a call center I was discussing SA with a friend of mine and showing him the fountain pen thread. A coworker heard the word "goon" and went the gently caress off about how we were scum, etc.

He was an EVE player.

Same. I put maybe 150 hours into City of Heroes over like, 6 months, and thats the worst I ever got.

My middle brother had to spend an extra 2-3 semesters in college due to Everquest. One semester he just straight up took off school, had no job, just EQ.

My oldest brother entirely failed out of college (on a full scholarship!!) because of online video games. In 1992. MUDs, man. MUDs.

i never played goon ss13 but i played in the beforetimes and ss13 was hilarious when you knew how to play. people would get legitimately mad at you for not roleplaying properly, and instead piling a bunch of fuel containers in the engine and causing a chain reaction that would suddenly destroy the ship

I always forget if it was ss13 or something else but there was a goon running a server for that game and someone posted some threats that they were going to shoot up their school.

The police got contacted and so he turned over the chat logs that included a ton of people using the action commands to fart in each other's mouths inbetween the posted threats.

It was a real hoot having to say the words "Space station 13" and "autisticpowers.info" and explain why people were farting up a storm in a chatlog I had to send to the FBI a few months ago.

Dr. Cogwerks posted:

Some weirdo was making rapey and creepy comments in game one night at about one AM. I yelled at them, they responded with a couple weird cryptic messages and then this, roughly: "well thanks for all the fun times here, i've got my rifle loaded and i'm gonna be shooting up a school full of kids in the morning, so this is goodbye"

User key was his first initial and last name with a number, that same account name was also used by a certain college student's blog and google+ page. Found his city and college from those, and the IP address he was playing from matched the ip registry for that college. Submitted the admin log, ip and timestamps to the FBI's online tips form, got several frantic calls back from city police and FBI agents over the next several hours and ended up getting calls from various detectives and fbi agents every hour or so from one am to three pm. No goddamn sleep.

Dude's dorm room was raided and he was arrested within about three hours of his comments, dorm was searched, computer taken to forensics, all that jazz. I dunno what happened past that though. I did have to write up some incident reports and attach a whole bunch of supplementary text and pictures about what ss13 is, how we log player communications and login info, how people find the game, how people register for the game, and a whole bunch of other stuff like that. Somewhere there's a screenshot in an FBI evidence folder showing a bunch of regular players farting, because it was impossible to find any portion of the game chat panel WITHOUT farting.

goddamn you all
