I was working on it, but then Locke Erasmus had to go and edit in zxmagus's timeline on his venerable PvE ratting thread on his way out the door.

Now illum is looking for delta sleeper agents and my effort to try to get some bullshit bans (deadtear, a couple people that posted only in helldump) is ruined by nerds who have to poo poo on the carpet on their way out the door.

So at this point all I'm going to do is if a specific person wants to appeal their ban, just message me on discord, and I'll get you in contact with theadj or klavas and we can work the appeal. Otherwise I'm not wasting more effort on people bent on self-sabotage.

I'm not sure we're going to agree on everything, but it looks like you weren't involved in the horror shows that caused this drama and are trying to do the best you can with what you're given, so I'm sorry you're stuck in the middle of this shitstorm.

We're only one week after sexual harassment, pedophilia, queerbashing, and other horrible markers of lovely people resulted in a huge calamity, and already the alliance's leaders are equivocating about reversing judgments against the people who went to bat for the victims.

I think the total reversal of any "changes" implemented will take place faster than anyone here is expecting

From this and what I'm reading elsewhere, they've already thrown out the core learning opportunities

only lesson they're choosing to learn is "circle the wagons faster next time"

What was the farthuffing Mittani quote from years ago about the best way to solve internal issues is to quietly shoot those involved and move on? Definitely no surprise here, especially with their brand in danger.

well you see the problem is those peopleme did not protest the way the state allows you to protest. Which is silently while trusting the system.

The interim leadership has been saying "the interim leadership are not reversing bans en masse" for the last week - so if you were surprised, you weren't paying attention in this thread.

The statement was "if you did something that would have gotten you banned two (now three) weeks ago, you aren't getting unbanned just because you did it last week".

As to Delta, hasn't alliance leadership been basically 'we are so done with you' from low-level back-and-forth stuff even back to the last war? They frankly seem pretty glad you left, no? That felt like the tone in the fireside, to me.

There are people who really thought the people banned over this would be let back in? Were you all born yesterday?

It was never going to happen, they are going to have to “both sides” this and PUNISH in order to placate their racist homophobic right wing Reddit core who thinks this is all “politics”. For all our talk of forgiveness, they have none, we went after someone these people think did nothing wrong, and if you think it was bad before well done, here comes endless jokes and complaints about wokeness.

No one wants back in, enjoy the bed you made and keep on pretending there are no lice in it.

Google News recommended me *German* gameing journalism article about how the "most successful" spaceman in the world took a step back because he is being unjustly scapegoated. Granted, I only read the clickbaity snippet that's on Google news, but it's gaming journalism so I assume the rest of the article is even worse.

I feel it's more like "bye, Felicia" on their side. Delta was a persistent annoyance to Illum so when you stomped around and then slammed the door on the way out, they were frankly glad to see you go.

There's individuals who would probably be welcomed back but en masse? Nahhhhhhhh. Bye, Felicia.

I am unsubscribed but logged into comms for first time in ages for the last Fireside so whatever is on comms or forums or discord I don't see.

Why do people care if they got banned anyhow. Were you planning on going *back*? What?

As a former member of ilum they were an annoyance to like 4 people in ilum, two of which have proven themselves to be stupid as gently caress with their awful dogshit handling of this entire thing.

And another of them was tuzy who got really mad about corp mails which is still kinda funny to me.

Holy shitballs. I've been out of this game for nearly a decade (And even then it was more or less a few months before getting bored), but I like to just check on the state of the universe every few months, read whatever lovely news release and see if theres anything skimmable telling me what wars or on or who the imperium is crushing this month.

Boy have I missed some drama. I almost cant imagine eve without it being utterly clusterfucked by Mittens being a terrible spaceperson.

Can't say I'm surprised though, it was obvious a decade ago the center wasn't gonna hold forever especially after VR was gone, theres poison at the heart of this game and the swarm, but jesus christ. I guess if he's gonna go, its gonna be in a ball of drama.

Also so I dont have to read a thousand pages of drama, did FNLN give back all that loot? Because I kinda wanna know how that went.

Sesfan #1

edit: To be clarify, I played for a number of years, from the Syndicate/Remedial era to the start of the Mittens era, took a few years out then returned briefly to participate in one of the big delve wars , and hung around a few months until the war ended and the 'serious business' wore out my patience with the game. I just wanted to gently caress around in cloaky ships and gatecamp, but Eve was turning into a job again. I like shooting space lasers at daft pubbies, not propping some other dudes meglomanic ambitions , as entertaining as those can be from afar. I'd have joined GROON but I kinda suck at this game so I figured it might be better to just bail and go play guitars and poo poo. Kind of around the same time SA's occasionally toxic culture itself was starting to wear out my patience. Anyway, did you know that Poitot is the only named system in Syndicate?
