No idea if this is true, but it does raise a couple of (largely inconsequential) questions if so:

* Are SA vacationed goons (like me) going to be treated worse as a group by leadership if coming back given our forum background making us poo poo-stirring woke militants?
* Is future coalition and or alliance leadership going to be SA-free, or is this going to be a do-as-I-say-and-not-what-I-do kind of situation?

Everytime I think there might be an opportunity for a sliver of good to come out of this, I'm proven wrong. i hope this is not true.

Sorry, I'm a little late for this.

For previous Waffe members that haven't been kicked. Things will work the same as before

New members will not be able to jump straight from SA into Waffe.

Whoever becomes the Waffe CEO can set the requirements he wants when it comes to participation.


I have no idea what this means for the future of Waffe. It's going to have to compete with other corporations that have massive community support structures that they have set up over years. Corporations that also have relatively open recruitment.

I don't believe that the alliance has changed and removing SA from waffe is funny as something to focus on.

I haven't actively played in a decade but i resub for most major wars but I think next time the horn is sounded ill be on the other side. Or just won't give a gently caress. The game sucks.

Yeah no, I would say I'm gonna miss the comradery but since the SA portions have moved on and consolidated elsewhere that will be the same. It's sad that a group that has such wonderful tools and infrastructure is being left behind, but only for those things and what it could've been if some humanity and oversight was applied.

Moving my poo poo will be fun at least, and then going wherever SA goons go. gently caress I want to go back to j space or maybe I'll drop a poo poo alt in pochven and leave another in 1dq just to fly in circles.

Honestly, waffe having its own leader and corp activities outside of roles-holding is something that was being talked about years ago as being a good and necessary step that ought to be taken. But combining it with ending SA-based recruitment seems more like the goal is to kill it completely rather than revitalize it as a 'real' corp, so.. lol. lmao.

We have 3-12 months to consolidate and clarify all the information into convenient packages, put pressure on external partners, and repetitively beat the drum that Goonswarm is actually a weird little cult built on systemic abuse and sexual predation while we wait for Alex's inevitable return to the organization he left in the care of hand-picked successors. Pretty doable. :3:

I'm not coming back to play EVE in a million years for love or money, but maybe resubbing a blackops account so I can idle in Imperium space while drip-dripping lines once a full summary has been produced, in RoyofCA's memory, isn't such a bad idea, in the end. Sustained repetition makes the world go round. For those who keep playing, beat the drum, tell the stories, have good times.

Do not let him get away with it. They will rope more victims into the cult unless they are stopped.

That's what worries me here. Alex has metastasized Goonswarm into a real world business that he owns, and that business makes him real money. This is not internet spaceships anymore, this is real poo poo. He has built up real capital, real assets and real networks, and I have little doubt he will push them as far as he can. If he successfully buries this story, there may not come another chance for a long time—and, if and when it does, it will be because more people got badly hurt. Alexander "The Mittani" Gianturco is a predator, and predators do not stop predating unless they are stopped and made to get therapy.

It sounds like they all actually want him back - the players and people who want him gone out of Goonswarm have already left or been kicked like Delta and it sounds like (from a bad view I have of here and r/eve) that the majority want The Mittani to stay anyway. The leadership doesn't want to change that much- have a HR policy so there's less...drama around and things to back to normal. Normal without taking in Goons from SomethingAwful is the new normal. The last remnants of the old republic have been swept away.

I was wrong on who would be fleeing who to the Eye of Terror-Stain. The Emperor is now on his golden thrown after being wounded by his most favored son, and the ones who fought to bring down his hypocrisy and tyranny are now leaving themselves or being kicked out by the new Lords of Terra.


And they probably don't want to stay anyway, now. Too many bridges are burning.

I joined KF less than a year ago after leaving the north because there was some racism creeping into my corp (and I was tired of getting stomped by FRT). KF seemed like the friendliest choice, and I wanted to be on the winning side of my my favorite spaceship game for a change even if it meant being hated - and one of my friends is a SA goon (who barely plays), so why not.

I tried to give people the benefit of the doubt and not make waves because I'm a loving coward who's terrified of conflict (due to the last 6-7 years of RL poo poo) and strives for harmony above all else, so most of the time I just sat in discomfort as people on comms edged their way toward politics and gender and almost literal alt-right poo poo at times, to the point where in the last month most of the time I'd just pop afk as soon as certain people started speaking (now I'm just permanently in the afk sections while I pack).

I didn't make any friends in KF, it's the most severely alone-in-a-crowd I've ever felt since joining the military.

A few times I'd be encouraged to keep going: I specifically remember, not the 'joke' from some misogynist, but the way one Siobhan MacLeary absolutely shredded him in fleet comms. And it gave me hope every now and then when someone spoke out against bullshit like that in fleet comms or jabber, and I'd think "maybe this alliance isn't so bad if it has people like this in it."

I was in xenuria's SIG, Trigoonians, before this giant shitstorm kicked off, along with a handful of other people who barely ever saw or talked to each other; the SIG no longer exists, at least not where I can see it or apply to it. I shot POCOs and other poo poo with him in Pochven. I was privately in comms with him. No one ever warned me about anything, no one was like "hey maybe you should stay away from that dude", nothing. Not a word before - or since. No one's contacted me with a "hey are you/is everything okay" which you'd think would be a normal human response but I suppose that would be admitting there was an actual problem with someone you apparently banned by one of the corp directors getting out of bed at 2am their time to take him out.

Nothing significant happened, but I'm still not okay about being that close to a known atrocity who had his own little operational playground because alliance leadership didn't just shelter him, they ACTIVELY USED HIM AS A TOOL FOR VIDEO GAME CONQUEST and there are no words for how loving gross that mindset is to me.

I've stopped expecting any decency from KF (certainly from GSF) no matter how shiny a public face they put on it. I hoped for a few days that things would change, but looking at the horrific echo chamber that the GF.com forums and in large part the KF discord has become, I can't justify staying here for any longer than it takes to exfil without locking myself out of options.

But in what to me feels like a sheer twist of cosmic irony I've seen more basic human decency out of this forum in the past week than I ever would've expected, despite what I've always been told about SA. And it's due to you all and your screaming and shouting and shoving loving receipts in people's faces and not just rolling over when challenged - all of that - that I can get the hell out of this flaming dumpster and find somewhere better, because without you I would have just sat here being acceptably miserable until the game died.

tl;dr
You all are my Actual loving Heroes and I'd rather play spaceships with people who have a conscience even when it doesn't directly benefit them.

Hiya, I'm Siobhan MacLeary! I'm really glad that one of the times I flushed a shithead helped you out.

The toxic culture was all over this thread, right down to you goobers going all 'don't question the Directors, accept the decisions of the Director, you're not a Director'.

I work with actual company directors day to day (and not the IT ones) and no one sucks them off like that.

Mittens was blatantly a weirdo for years. Larger than life egotism? King of the nerds bullying attitude that's just mean enough to be unpleasant but just pathetic enough to be non threatening? Wow turns out with my handy chart you can identify this particular type of abusive personality a mile off.

This is all enabled by your sycophantic attitudes. Even now "oh he was addicted to power, he shouldn't be allowed near power". What loving power? He was the tiny king of a goddamn molehill.

I think you got lost on your way to the GSF forums.

It's absolutely amazing that the people who made the most noise about this got airlocked with no way back in, are wrestling with what they enabled and having to deal with that, and somehow that makes us the bad guys in all of this worthy of complete cultural severance

Morality and consistency is a lie, embrace doublethink.

is this your actual goal? obviously from my comments i'm an extremely casual eve player and never even joined goonwaffe (wow, baby's first ironic nazi reference :jerkoff:). i don't know why 90% of the people posting were so space important. but do you really think the end result of whatever this continuing campaign is will result in mittani going to therapy?

Not really. I mean, aim high, but that's probably wishful thinking after ten plus years and everything that's happened. I'm happy to settle for stopping him, his pedophile buddy and various other toadies from using the organization and history I and many other goons helped create to hurt people and shield him from consequence. The victory condition for this campaign will be collapsing sex pest Alexander "The Mittani" Gianturco and his weird little cult supporters into a black hole nobody wants to go near for fear they won't be able to escape, and as a stretch goal, maybe Alex himself will then get help and get better after he's lost the ability to easily predate.

Hey Guys, none of you know me, but I am one of the people in Delta Sqad that people tend to ask to get things done. I feel it's necessary to post our timeline of events to people so the facts of the situation can be judged fairly from our point of view and to help people process this last week's events. We are all in a place that nobody is happy about; it's like surveying your town after a hurricane blew through. I'm sure you have some pretty strong emotions about all this that you are still sorting through and it's important to take some time to grieve about that it's part of the healing process.


I would like to explain a bit how we got here so it can help people move forward.


On July 7th we had an incident on our discord server that involved kicking a person that at the time was just super annoying on discord. Later that night he was mouthing off to people in the fleet to the point where the FC kicked him, he later made a call-out thread in hell dump, saying we had Bully'd him out of the game, and told him to commit suicide, this is totally false everyone in fleet said no one wishes him any harm; they just wanted him to correct his behavior. At this time, after being berated and insulted by him, Mcwolf made a counter-call-out thread that showed how creepy he had been to her in PMs, I will spare you the details, but it was bad, really bad. This part is important. On July 7th this offender was kicked.


Late night, July 7th Cryo and I discussed this issue and more in PMs we both came to the conclusion that the org could do better to resolve these issues and we wanted to make a pitch for some structural changes to improve things. https://ibb.co/rHhbFHL https://ibb.co/dGTjDBn


July 8th, I spend the day writing the report cryo is going to present to ilum. I talk with a bunch of people from inside and outside the imperium and I feel vindicated in my belief that changes need to be made. I personally asked MCwolf and Daniel Onzo to write sort of harassment impact statements as a preamble to the report to hammer home why on an emotional level why changes need to be made I will include the second to the last draft of the report I wrote with the names redacted because some of the perpetrators have a delicate mental state and I would not like to see them being victims of harassment. https://privatebin.net/?7a3370b98ff4dd3c#BB4d8XvVHz99P2PrfwDaormMKcQBXLffDMUYfC8FA15j


July 9, Saturday morning the last 18 hours of the imperium as we knew it. A mid-day cryo messages me saying he presented our report to ilum and it was received well.


July 9, 6 pm, we are informed that MC Wolf was kicked and black-listed from the imperium. I am personally livid that I spent 24 writing a report on harassment only for them to kick one of the people testifying in the report. My last two sentences to the higher-ups are "If you shake this tree, you will not be able to control what falls out" and "By doing this you are going to start a nuclear meltdown is that is going to chain-react uncontrollably"


July 9th FNLN goes nuclear he holds 680 billion of member isk hostage. Delta comes to terms with the fact that we are going to get airlocked people, hop on discord coms to ask what's going on and we just sing closing time at them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGytDsqkQY8&ab_channel=SemisonicVEVO


On July 10th FNLN posts his chat logs with the Mittani. I will say this is the first time anyone in Delta other than FNLN has seen these. Things have now gone from us throwing a Molotov at city hall to a righteous crusade; the Rubicon has been crossed; there is no going back from this point, it's ride and die from us from here on out. https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?noseen=0&threadid=4006027&pagenumber=31&perpage=40#post524772360


July 10th Aldani's accusation comes forward on SA and Reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/Eve/comments/vvzgh3/gsf_leaders_sit_on_stalking_report_for_months_ban/


July 11th Aldani goes on New Eden post to make her accusations public. Side note this takes an extraordinary amount of courage. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1530144832?t=0h46m17s


July 12 Hezzy returns with chat logs of xenuria's pedophilia https://i.imgur.com/I8uS6bP.png


July 13th person comes forward with Facebook whisper network post about mittani https://i.imgur.com/wk2cP3Q.jpegjHq


July 13th A director disgusted by Mittani's behavior in the above Facebook post gives us Saturday illum logs https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=4006027&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=62#post524820978


July 13th the Xenuria event happens https://soundcloud.com/new-eden-post/xenuria-confronts-hezzy https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?noseen=0&threadid=4006027&pagenumber=71&perpage=40#post524828652


July 15th the Mittani steps down.


So there you have it, folks, that is the most official and correct timeline of events I can give you, what happens from here is up to all of us to choose a better path moving forward. I will also say I have spent nearly a week getting a crash course in the long-term fallout of harassment and abuse online and it sucks please don't do it and finally never suffer in silence talk to people let your feelings be known and don't let someone diminish you.

Thank you for this.

i mean, on one hand i support removing sex pests, reactionaries, etc, in general from all the spaces i have any influence in (not many). on the other hand, you said yourself you and your friends built goonswarm, the thing everyone is saying sucks and is a cult. maybe there's some reflection in order and maybe the old guard shouldn't be entrusted to do the fixing

That's a fair argument, and I've been doing lots of reflecting in this thread. I'm happy to play support here (I'm at least seeing my role as helping FNLN), even step away altogether, as soon as the fixing is underway. Right now, though, the organization is circling the wagons. That's the opposite of fixing it.

If they choose radicalization over reform, so be it.

They aren't necessarily owed endless moral life support. At some point, cut 'em off and walk away.

"Keep goons from accidentally wandering into an abusive alliance and a game where this Just Keeps Happening™ " is a good enough mission.

surprising that they're cutting ties with S.A, because circling the wagons rather than admit an iota of fault is the standard-issue SA response.

also on the thread as a whole: lol and furthermore lmao. props to fnln for having actual principles and just doing the right thing so hard that a bunch of utter shitheads were forced to go mask-off

u/LearnincurveSA I have made a lot of apologies over the last few days. For stupid poo poo I did, for stupid poo poo I allowed others to do. I apologized extensively when meeting with my corp and on the various goon threads where people were discussing stuff I felt like I could add detail to. I have not specifically apologized to the LGBT+ community but I should have. Im sorry. We have fumble hosed our stupid way through this entire process but we are going to get it right. I have made mistakes and intend to unfuck myself. This was an oversight on my part and not done intentionally or because I’m scared to own my mistakes. I’m sorry I hosed this up too.

Official apology, I know people are going to have Opinions, but as far as I am concerned this is all we, LGBT+. goons were asking for right at the start of this. It's a pity it didn't happen a week ago but imo it takes more balls to post it now on reddit, expecting everyone to jump on you, than it would have done back then before this snowballed.
