Mittens was pretty much the entire reason I left, and seeing him gone is a huge leap forward for the Imperium. However, I don't get the kick/ban thing. I don't see that happening. For all his faults, the guy has been the leader for a long time and put a lot of energy into trying to maintain the empire. He then initiated a peaceful transfer of power on his way out and I assume has a decent amount of people who still think well of him.

Vengefully kicking isn't the right thing to do imo. Not only would it rub a lot of people the wrong way, but you risk him getting motivated and starting his own thing which could fracture the Imperium. Let him drift away in inactivity and let Asher start making Goons 3.0.

He's not supposed to be stepping down peacefully on his own terms, he's supposed to be being forcibly removed as a consequence of his wrongdoings as a leadership figure while the organization formally severs ties with him and his legacy.

The fact that this or anything like it hasn't happened yet implies that either leadership doesn't think his actions were serious enough to warrant any kind of formal response, or they are afraid that he has too much support of among the line members to risk publicly denouncing him (or both). Either of these are serious problems for people who don't like the kind of culture he fostered.

The 'groomswarm has changed' discussions can start *after* Mittani has been actually removed and amnesty for the whistleblowers. Until then it's all just empty words.

a leader for a long time who put a lot of energy into trying to maintain THE EMPIRE posted:

(5:18:02 PM) The Mittani: this has been going on for months and this bitch can't find a block button and is sending us walls of goddamned text, and when the entire directorate goes over the complaint - loving PAGES of words - and we don't have anything other then he said she said breakup bullshit

like, never mind that you're saying "the person who allowed this shouldn't be removed from my group's community because he has seniority and sweated a lot" - you're saying that there's a decent amount of people in GSF that are okay with poo poo like this if it's coming from some dude they like. like enough that they're a potential schism risk for GSF officers that want to prevent this from happening again

do you really want to be in a group with people like that?

and lots of people including myself put a lot of time and energy into the imperium; him deciding to not go gently caress goons on the way out is not winning him brownie points either, I don't thank the chef at the local country-style chicken restauraunt for not giving me salmonella

Stop thinking that "avoiding fracturing the Imperium" is essential! Ideally you would try not to, but if there are truly *that many* Mittens diehards that this is a risk, you are going to have to fracture the Imperium to get rid of them, they're not going to change their attitude just by ignoring them and hoping it goes away.

I think this is it... I think this is how it ends
I mean, it's pretty easy. In Asher's first meeting with all of the alliance corp directors and sub-directors he should simply say "in seven days I'm kicking Mittani from this alliance, banning him from services and blacklisting him. If any of you or your members have an issue with that, you know where the door is. Oh and anyone that wailed and gnashed about a cancel culture woke mob has seven days to get out as well"

Yeah, in fact it's even more weird this isn't happening when 'strong arm tactics to quell unrest' is the reasoning behind no mercy for Delta. It just makes it look like certain things are always going to be accepted (whether that's because of direct agreement or because keeping the supply of F1ing bodies is seen as more important is irrelevant) and that bringing it up is the real problem.

Agreed, it would literally be better to break it apart a bit to be rid of the chuds - the only thing preventing it would is the space pixels and a loss of power/asses in chairs for this dumb game

Silly goose, you're here forever.

The irony in Globby telling us that none of us play EvE is the fact that it's true.

We don't play nullsec with its sov grinds and endless spreadsheets. We don't play highsec with its dull grindy missions. We don't play FW or incursions or any of the new content CCP has cooked up for the player base in the past five years. We, truthfully and honestly, don't play the game that EvE players play.

Or to borrow a wonderful line that GSF no longer has claim to:

We don't play EvE. We play Something Awful.
