100% agree with you, but who other than Globby going "Lol at your killboard nErDz" is actively trying to get in the way of Goosefleet having fun doing their own thing in this thread? I honestly wish them the best, and hope they bring some good fights to us when their chain leads them to Delve. More people doing things in space is a good thing in my book.

Before July 2022, I would have said (and said many times) that Karmafleet is a fantastic place for new players. Or BRAVE. Or Pandemic Horde.

With the recent changes in leadership and processes, I'd still recommend Karmafleet.

But regardless of the specific group, I recommend beginners move immediately to a large null bloc. The amount of help, support, and training is simply better. You'll spend more time having fun and less time merely trying to survive. IMO.

I never really believed that you were out to get me, more so that you saw an opportunity for entertainment, hence why I ended my post with a chess analogy. I could literally visualize the smug smirk on your face while reading some of those little land mines you tossed out. In fact I was laughing at certain comments you made, thinking "my early 2000s rap homie is attempting to good post me into a corner with his triple and quadruple tiered trap-riddled wordsmithery".

Oh, btw, I never EVER had slurs in any personal lyrics I composed - I copy/pasted (our just typed out) lyrics for Frayser Boy's "Pistol Playa" and got lazy with the censorship, although I think I did include quotations around said lyrics. My dad whipped my rear end for dropping an n-bomb when I was like 5 or 6 (heard it from one of the local racists iirc) so bad that its drat near physically impossible to use those words. He never gave me a woopen again and I never hard-r'ed again. In fact I moved out of Alabama as soon as I could to get away from that dogshit mindset, I take that poo poo seriously.

I think you got the wrong read on my read on your non-reading writings though: From what I have gathered (excluding the anti-Xenuria and Mittani crusade posts, I felt like those were for real) you just enjoy online posting and getting into debate-like skirmishes (shockingly just like me!). At least that's what I picked up on by the way you structured the flow of your inquiries followed by a camoflauged contradicting statement or comment (usually there to setup an alternative vector for offensive). I also chuckled at the fact, like you said, "sometimes its important, sometimes its not" - its like you toss in a 'where the poo poo did this take come from and how did he arrive there' comment occasionally to throw people off the scent. I was being genuine in those few comments where I mentioned "that was pretty smooth" or "Well played FNLN".

As cheesy as it sounds posting-pvp can be just as fun as spaceship pvp when done right pushes glasses up and slicks down eyebrows with fingers[/super]. I get a lot of entertainment from reading between the lines of someone's post, then making attempts to deconstruct the actual philosophical equations (you would probably be interested in this field if you've never checked it out before) they build with their dialogue structuring. Do you realize that you do this? I think you do, but I can appreciate that. Also, for the record, I don't think we disagree on much - I probably just don't go as far as you do past the line in the sand is all, I try to refrain from fully committing one way or the other cuz I'm a despicably dirty loving centrist. I do, however, get frustrated when 3rd parties try hopping on the wagon when they don't realize the elegant tango dance transpiring before their eyes.



Now in an attempt to not get Kaysette'd for a third time b/c posting about posters I would like to bring in two EVE points of discussion:



1. Has anyone heard rumors about Pearl Abyss selling off CCP? I heard this somewhere, might have even been my dreams or some poo poo, just wanted to double check if I was crazed or not.


2. Holy poo poo when did triple ancillary marauders become a thing, I completely missed this. This is loving hilarious - it's like the new triple ASB rorqual from 5 years ago (who remembers those nightmares?):

it was owned primarily by an old snuff guy, with shares owned by a couple other more active and current snuff members. Proper dues were paid for the first years but after our devolution in like 2018-19 (?) and reform awhile later, payments and dues fell aside. It was largely ignored and it became a meme within snuff that we would destroy it eventually, however, the active members who owned shares kept the wolves at bay.

Snuff's eternal enemy in lowsec, Shadow Cartel has a large Tama pvp solo and smallgang group that lives(d) out of the sotiyo and hit some snuff structures. Additionally, the members of snuff who owned shares went semi afk and the tide turned. We initially poked the structure to see what response would come. The old snuff owner came back and was frankly pretty poo poo in dm's about the whole thing. That pushed the few of us in leadership who were on the fence over to "gently caress it". So it died.

Fun additional factoid, Shadow Cartel formed a relatively thicc arti vargur fleet with anti tackle cerbs. They bridged out of their home station of Aeschee but had to gate into Tama, and we sat on the in gate and prevented them from coming in. They sat in the opposite system aligned to the sun under continuous cyno inhibs for an hour until going home and attempting to kill one of our scout pods, missing the pod, but killing one of their own cerbs with smartbombs. https://zkillboard.com/kill/102493946/

I think kbs have done more to keep eve alive than anything else CCP could have done. News articles are based on them. Community discussion rely on them. Reading about Deimoses slaughtering Muninns is great. gently caress Muninns. You don't get the context of a battle from one person's recording and watching someone play eve for an hour to see a battle outcome is boring poo poo.

That said a 6 or 12 hour delay in publishing killmails to ESI would be cool too.

the tama structures were true freeport and 1 person had ACL control over it. After the Shadow Cartel guys messed around and reff'd our stuff and us hitting the structures for the first time in response, we had negotiations to let it all live and remove SC access to resolve the issue but as mentioned before, the way the original owner reacted was pretty over the top, so things changed. I was part of the original group negotiating the deal around Shadow Cartel ACL removal as a compromise and was frankly surprised we went for the kill. It is what it is.

This is a poo poo-fit and it barely tanked compared to what it could have if it had a better fit. NOS's on a BS is pants on head silly, the triple Ancil's are dumb because you have no long term sustain, especially if you run out of charges. The Officer co procs add nothing to the fit except useless bling, he wasn't even using a low grade crystal pod, he has no way to grapple/web down smaller ships, there's just so much wrong with that fit

It makes very dumb people focus on bringing in DPS over logi, or on getting kills rather than cutting off supply chains. That, and it's a stat that sweaty players can never be satisfied by, so you sometimes get giant meltdowns from people scoring a kill but not doing it efficiently enough; for that alone they're fun, but if I was in a group with really obsessive players I definitely wouldn't feel so neutral about it.

The main issue is how you'd avoid hyper-PvP players creating the same thing with manual tracking/after action reports. Games like Last Oasis don't track the equivalent of ship kills (or at least they didn't when I was playing), and you still end up with people making lists of their kills and grading based off of how big the kill was/wasn't.
