Do enlighten me, oh agéd third-party. I am open to receive your wisdom.

I mean I think I know what he’s getting at but I don’t know enough about goosefleet’s retention plans as numbers dwindle to make the call.

I had the option and a lot of people saying I should have schism’d when the hammer came down on Topgoon, but I chose not to (I kind of regret this because we could have made deklein a horror show for a while) mainly because I knew that ultimately my resource pull was “Goons and Allies who needed a break from mainfleet” and that my numbers and enthusiasm would probably be great for a year, but churn of players leaving would kill me in two. The SA pool is shallow.

This doesn’t need to go this way, but it’s very common in goon guilds in games of a particular type (full loot pvp with shitbird devs). In my own experience we usually found some likeminded groups and when churn inevitably occurs we’d merge, or we’d recruit off SA.

The second bit being that holes aren’t as new player friendly (in that they can be more sp intense). A healthy newbie “economy” is harder to create In inherently less secure space with fewer players to act as soaks for the lower tier resources newbies are capable of getting.

My general suggestion coming out of this remains the same as it always has been: scoop as many goons into a corp as you can and join an extant nullsec power.

But this is all conjecture, and honestly I’d still join you if I had eve “time” because I want you to succeed.

1) Unpersoning Alex from SA and from GSF are not comparable tasks. Of course it took far fewer resources and less time for SA to do so. Plus, SA had nothing to lose.

2) My point isn't that Alex should be allowed to stay around. My point is that many of the people calling in this thread for Alex to be disavowed are doing so in a strident and tiresome manner that seems (to me) to ignore and refuse to acknowledge progress as a means to keep up the intensity and pressure.

Stop talking as if people who aren't doing things just as you want when you want must have bad motives. It's bad faith.

Oh you mean that banning thing that like 5 people in the alliance can do and I'm not one of them? Yeah, can't do that, I don't make those calls.

What I can do is enforce the pre-existing space bureacracy that the Former Emperor built, and using that to just quietly and impersonally shuffle him off no fuss is very, very funny to me.

I don’t have the ability to do that.

However, if I’m still a full director in Goonwaffe when I do my next quarterly activity purge I’m kicking all his characters.

60 days with no posts, no jabber, no mumble. Them’s the rules. I think we are at 17 days now.

There are only two characters exempt from this rule and their owners are both dead.

This isn't an attack please don't read it as hostile, you're my buddy Atrum & I'm not mad at you, this isn't directed towards you in particular, the questions are rhetorical, but I've gotta say something on the "why do people still care hes stepped down" thing, honestly:

When I receive emails from teenage gsf members who tell me that they are horrified that they were playing around the known-to-mittani pedophile, Xenuria, in Pochven squad unknowingly? When they express outrage that no one made any attempt to warn them, because there was a rule against accusations against Xenuria's pedophilia SPECIFICALLY established and enforced actively by The Mittani himself, what are the consequences for that?

Because I, and others, have received those.

What about individuals who, being minors at the time, allege that Xenuria, whilst being protected knowingly by Mittani, attempted sexually propositioning them over mumble and other GSF platforms? What is the read-only for that?

Because I have seen those allegations as well, from multiple individuals.

God knows what he has possibly done that's not been spoken of. I'm not posting any of what I've been told here, but (if it's okay with them) I can send (non-identifying) screen caps privately, or ask if any of those individuals will be willing to speak with you directly, if there's doubt in their validity. I'm not throwing out hypotheticals here, this is all stuff that I have been told, and seen people say, without any agenda for telling anyone besides "this was wrong".

Taking that info consideration:
Have you considered the greater repercussions of what very well could have happened to minors as a result of Mittani sending Xenuria to the all-ages CCP fanfest event in Iceland?
How this was accomplished using GSF platformed support, while being shielded from allegations of Xenuria being a child sexual predator which were KNOWN to Mittani at the time?

Do you realize JUST HOW hosed that is?

This IS a hypothetical but: have you considered the VERY LIKELY possibility that Xenuria, while harbored by Mittani, sexually abused current or former underage members BEYOND propositions and creeping?

  • Do you realize how emotionally and psychologically damaging that could be to his attempted victims, and possible victims, potentially still members, looking at this happen, to have this be "moved on from" by an organization whose former leader tacitly endorsed that possibility, with zero regard for the wellbeing of others or potential outcomes of that decision, and is still fully affiliated, financially and otherwise, with GSF?

  • Is anything in a videogame worth even the slightest of chances of potentially causing or continuing that kind of harm?

  • How does the current path not view that very possible risk as acceptable collateral damage? Because you cannot say with certainty that did not potentially occur directly as a result of what is known to have been allowed to occur.

  • Do you think any member would feel would comfortable coming forward to any current leadership about anything that may have happened, or anything that may happen in the future, with the harassment-hider pedo-protector Mittani still in affiliation in any capacity?

Everyone in gsf getting poo poo over this top to bottom, you are all picking the tab up for Mittani (and Innom's) messes right here, when you [I]clearly don't want to be, and should not have to

Gonna have to side with andromache on this one I think -- you guys are way the hell overestimating both the power he can wield and the merit of what he's planning to do. If Mittani was planning some sort of Comeback 2023 Tour or whatever, he sure as hell doesn't need to have a character in GSF. Jabber exists, discord exists, etc. (I think this was covered earlier?) Kicking Mittani's characters from GSF is a fairly unimportant gesture; I agree that it can be deferred so it can be done for a funny reason rather than as part of some orchestrated, vehement act of retribution. Besides, if the dude waddles back into the fold somehow, he can just be 86'd immediately and life goes on.

The point here is that it’s literally the simplest and easiest gesture they can make and nobody has bothered.

There’s a couple of reasons to not just do it: no one can be bothered, which means the afk directorate who doesn’t address issues problem is still in play. The second is no one gives a poo poo, which lol, that’s a problem. The Third is that nobody wants to wah wah this is unfair to dear leader. I won’t bother expanding on why that one is the worst look.

He’ll just come back.

If you’re actually pushing for banning and disavowing him I think that’s great, but this maneuver is pointless and I don’t know why you think it’s funny unless it’s supposed to be a self deprecating joke. What’s important for effective change in a situation like this is having organizational leadership explicitly say words and take actions that will be contradicted and thus make them look like liars or chumps or both if he returns, which creates a barrier that this doesn’t, just like allowing him to slink away quietly doesn’t. But we both know why that isn’t happening.
