I wonder how broadly the rest of the GM team is going to align with that take. That means anyone can do a stream, and then when you get killed, make a report about it claiming you were stream sniped

I don't know. I do not think I have ever seen a white person get red-misted in the panties when called that name.

Maybe it means something to a redneck who has social issues but then having a person dropping the N word seems to be a huge no-no but when a black person does it, nothing is said.

I'm confused.

That was, indeed, one of the privileges of being a member of The Party back in the day. Hell, I remember a speech from Mittens back then about how the entire purpose of the Imperial apparatus was to allow the ordinary Goon (meaning SA posters and people with cultural ties to the forums community outside of EVE) to live the high life in spaceships while being the dumbest, laziest, most useless motherfuckers imaginable.

That's me!

The structure of Goonfleet let me pick and choose who to do internet spaceships with afforded me ability to avoid lovely or downright problematic FCs and any other assholes & play when I wanted to. At the same time it availied me of all of the luxuries of a great space empire. Double SRP meant I could do dumb solo PVP stuff and get paid to do so. Industry and PI as far as the eye can see. Etc.

If I have to do more than poo poo up Elysium to stay in Goonfleet to shoot ships whenever I decide to resub (not likely!) why would I ever want to? Additionally, if the goal here is to get rid of all the awful people with reprehensible behaviour, it's good to start at the top, but there are more than a few corps that are pretty notorious for tolerating extremely lovely types of people. e: not BATTLESTARS bad, but still bad.

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.

who are you in game

Vando posted:

The corp was created by Americans and while I didn't encounter any screaming racist behaviour 15 years ago as a member I'm p sure it was exactly picked as a "lol look how we use the words we can't say" edgy name, so maybe it's time to stop all this weird equivocation.

e: it's the focus of attention because what do you want us to say? "oh jeez this story I have no details of at all is definitely our fault somehow, let us commence the self-flagellation forthwith"?

e2: edited bc I said there was no racism around the corp back then but there almost definitely was so not gonna stand by that statement even a little bit

not gonna touch this whole other thing but I thought Shamis started the corp and he wasnt american.

edit: apparently he was american. i always thought he was a euro. must have confused him with shadoo.

This wasn't as much at you personally as it was against the general idea that it could be an acceptable word anywhere outside the US. An argument that has peppered this and the last thread on occasion and isn't getting as much pushback as it should.

I just want to clarify that it's not an okay word in Europe either, and I hope to never see that implied ever again.

lol whys this the hill you want to stake out on


people say snigger/ed but its pretty rare and the people who do are either being edgelords or are using it properly in context that corp name is very much not the latter and if you disagree you're stupid as hell



also its like 400 years old when everyone was an edgelord

Also, protip, the only time you'll ever see "snigger" or forms thereof is when an author is using it to describe a particular kind of shrunken-in, mean laugh.

They say that the Grinch's small heart grew three sizes that day.
i could have sworn i read somewhere (perhaps kugu?) an admission that the name was purposefully chosen because it contains the Nword and knew CCP wouldnt force a name change because it has just enough plausible deniability
its like that dude that argued with a GM that his character "captain fslur face" wasnt really a slur because you see hes british and smokes a lot
or ccp changing kugutsumen's character name from TentacleRape to TentacleSeduction
its smirking, knowing, euphemistic "im not touching you" edgelord bullshit and if you cant recognize that youre a dullard

Honestly, it depends. To me, a snicker is stifled or sly, while a snigger is more of a villainous, mean-spirited thing.

But...that's when you're using it in context. When you're trying to defend an Eve corp named "Sniggerdly"...not so much.

People in Britain would say "snigger" quite freely, and not imagine that it was in any way suggestive of the N-word. Snicker is much more of an american-ism, and translates as "Marathon". In Scots we still have "smicker" but it's not used as often these days. I cannot remember the last time I read someone use "niggardly" outside of a discussion about Eve edge-lordism and it makes me kinda uncomfortable even to type. Of the three, it's the only archaism and for a variety of good reasons, and comes with a warning in some dictionaries.

Yeah the only time I've seen it is when people are trying to be Very Clever Edgelords and sometimes they will also turn themselves inside out to find a way to slightly modify the spelling and oh wait, look where we are now!
