Johnny Five-Jaces posted:

here is the series of events that killed hole squad

0. Dod Kalm, noted drinking buddy of Alexander "the Mittani" Gianturco, goes turbo afk
1. Madcows acts up one too many times and gets banned. People will meme about "falcon srp" but the dude was wildin out all over the place
2. Certified cool dudes and hole squad leadership members Saya and Machine Culture give madcows docking rights to an alliance structure to help him evac his poo poo out of the hole
3. Saya and Machine Culture are banned
4. Nex Dementia, the de facto leader of hole squad, goes ballistic on various alliance leadership figures, gets banned
5. Dod Kalm shows up in a few threads and mewls about "his squad" despite not having logged in even a single time during the goku null static roaming days
6. Most of the useful members of hole squad leave
7. Hole squad limps on and eventually closes

Confirming this is a pretty accurate description of events. It's a drat shame really, we always assumed we would die in a last stand type conflict staring down a "gently caress Goons" style eviction. In the end, space dad left for cigarettes' and forgot the way home, and the teens left home shitposted too close to the sun.

After "The Incident", many of Hole Squads leadership and core members were either kicked, banned, or left of their own accord, disgusted with the way things went down. Personally, i also heavily disagreed with the ridiculousness of it all, but i chose to stay and try to pick up the pieces. We had a meeting after the dust settled to figure out where to go from here. Nearing the end of the meeting, Dod surprised me with the gift of responsibility in the form of director status, and suddenly i found myself neck deep in Hole Squads problems.

The master plan was to return to Goku (our origin C4 wormhole) and recruit new blood to bring the squad back to life, but things would never make it that far. About a week after everything went down, Mitten's gave the order to shut down Hole Squad. The decision was final, with no room to dispute. Halfway through moving assets and men home to Goku, we now had to tear down and evac everything. Though i didn't know the first thing about being a director, i was very versed in wormhole logistics and not getting caught. To that end, i made every effort to help each nerd stuck in limbo get their poo poo packed and into known space. I also had the joy of helping tear down the citadels and local infrastructure of our home. But for my efforts i swiped a very special structure, the 5-17 POS tower "The Toonie Bin", which i was assigned to live in before the age of citadels came around. I still have it.

In about a month, it was done. Goku was empty and the squad was essentially no more. Dod kicked any inactive members out of the corporation, and kept it alive as an alt corp. I stayed to the very end until there was nothing more to be done. And aside from Dod Kalm and his alts, i was the very last member of Hole violence. And that's the final chapter to Hole Squad.

These were peak toilet eve days, before bubbles and captors. People afk/offline autopiloting through syndicate in bling gilas and prophecies and getting the notification "Arrived at Target Citadel" was hilarious.

We were camping MHC- every Wednesday with Halenark (the Bombers Bar voice changer dude) and the loot drops were insane.

there's no need to be so upset at me since I was just offering a possible rationale to the name. :shrug:

i mean you are right. i'd liken it to why nobody throws "-waffe" at the end of a word other than their lovely space guild. thankfully it only took some folks until last week to realize that place was not a very good or safe place to be. so that's good and its also good bfm got the boot.

anyway i hope you're not trying to use me explaining an english word that exists to paint me as any form of racist because boy that would be really messed up. :(

i don't know you, but if you are giving them the benefit of the doubt or offering a "possible explanation" then at the very least you are extremely credulous and stupid. at worst you understand the dog whistle and are winking along with it.

Yeah no, this is the exact "I'm not being racist" argument that comes up every time a chud uses this and 'niggardly'. It's totally not a tired dogwhistle that hasn't been seen a trillion times before
