Whole Squid mostly plays other games, now.

Also it wasn't exactly a schism, they were forced out for bullshit reasons.

Goosefleet is the Hole Squad reboot you're looking for.

To be fair, the guy running the squad was kind of a tool.

holesquad died due to drama.

Did they get evicted from Goku?

Vilgan posted:

Around late June of 2020 I started Genesis Squad which lived in a C4 w/ a C3/C5 static. Tried to avoid the drama, mostly just providing a place for people to learn poo poo about wormholes, make isk, occasionally take a mental break from the war if needed, and do some wormhole pvp which was noticeably different from the nullsec stuff. I heard from a lot of people that the squad was the only reason they didn't quit, many of them cycled back to the war after the mental health break, some of them ended up involved in coord/other spacejob positions. Were some ups and downs, held against several eviction attempts successfully but HK/lazerhawks were too much without support from the alliance. They claimed to be paid by Test as part of the war, no clue if that's actually true.

It existed essentially without any support from leadership the whole time I was there. Eventually we got a comms channel and officially added as a squad altho it took Nom like 3 months to make the change after leadership approved it.

I quickly disliked Mittens, but in Spring 2021 I couldn't take it anymore and passed the reins off and moved on in May or June. Was somewhat quiet about reasons other than with a couple of leadership, as "I can't loving stand our coalition leader" maybe isn't the best thing to broadcast to a group that is remaining as part of that coalition. My understanding is they are still around, quietly doing wormhole stuff, and accepting new members but not advertising much.

Your experience echoes mine, especially the feedback from vets, during the hv/sqwid reboot.

e. minus the evictions. we kept our heads down until we had established wh ~cred~

I was in the old-school Holesquad when it was Schned's project, back then it was more about profits then content. Eventually we were evicted, think the group was called Ragnarok or something. When i wasn't paying attention Dod rebooted the squad and i ran into them one day when i was loving around lowsec. Instantly signed up and had good times all around, and i stayed with them to the end. He helped shape Holesquad into the legend it's known for today. I've also flown with Vilgan's group and can say they are a pretty great bunch of nerds, though i've lost touch as life picked up. Though i haven't had time for the wormhole lifestyle, i hope they are still doing their thing and thriving.

Wormholes are a 10/10 experience and you have never truly internet spaceshiped until you've been in and out of other peoples holes for a living.

We took over the comms for the space violence ustz wormhole summer camp, yeah, schned's. I think he briefly poked his head in to pass the reins. It's been years

My understanding is the leadership went AFK, and some members started causing so much drama that alliance leadership shut hole squad down.

Speaking as a completely new player, the corp has room for everyone.

This game is very complicated, and most of the people you'll be playing with are skilled years beyond where you'll be, but you'll find people willing to help you out with skill plans and maybe a but of seed money.

I've had a great time so far!

Oh, definitely hit someone up for a referral link. I missed the chance to do that, and left 1M skill points on the table. Oh well.

Their specifically referencing the Toilet Eve:Echos game, where the SA Goon group is called Goosefleet, and they do the HONK thing as a meme, similar to how MWO group WoL screams SQUAWK.

for reference, pinch the egg warrior was the translation of our chinese friends at the start of eve echoes, when they wanted us to kill their pods because there was no self destruct implemented at the time. our diplo with them was almost entirely consisting of goose emojis and the random conversation with one english speaking chinese player who lived in europe and thus had access to discord
