This move by Init is pretty blatant.

I'm very interested to see how the Alliance will handle it.

the alliance leader (fartshines) who refuses to stop using slurs (repeatedly) and then blocks people when they call him out on it, who also blacklisted delta sqad when they got mad about pedophiles and misogyny is a dumbfuck rear end in a top hat?

"Ask A Director", the forum for asking the Directorate questions directly (and line members get probed for replying because they're not directors). Generally you get at least one director response before the thread gets closed, but I guess not this time.

Apparently diplos are doing something. It better be giving init. 7 days to gtfo/apply to other corps and blacklisting everyone on the fort kill.

It's probably just getting a cut and/or arranging a suitable cover story to do nothing.

As far as I’m aware, when bastion sold the structures to init, they didn’t require a no piñata clause. Imagine being politically outsmarted by Brave.

So legal? Yes. Kinda lovely? Yes.

accepting goonfucking through technicality goes against the entire spirit of 'don't goonfuck', which is a convention based on moral guidelines, not legal ones. i.e. there are no "technically good" morally bad acts

especially when there's no other justification, given or to be assumed, besides wanting to steal from friendlies

that's how you get a group of people to not trust each other and not want to help each other, ever again.

having leadership give something like this a full pass signals, at best weakness in their resolve to enforce espoused moral values with consistency or an unspoken rewrite of said moral values from "just don't gently caress goons" into "gently caress goons, got mine"

At that point, how is the overall esprit de corps supposed to be different from PAPI or any other big clump of crabs in buckets fuckin each other over

**OFFICIAL NOTICE TO GOOSEFLEET**


In an effort to redirect the Goonswarm community towards proper gameplay and more structured organizations within EVE Online Globby & myself have decided it is time to bring Goosefleet to an end.

This post is a courtesy warning to those involved with the GOOSEFLEET meme that is riddled with terrible organizational structuring, improper guidance, mismanaged agendas and future objectives / goals, as well as toxic community members that add nothing but nefarious and/or negative attitudes to the EVE Online community as a whole.

We recommend that everyone not willing to lose all their stuff over a meme wormhole group, that's existence is solely based on making you a worse player, begin conducting efforts to relocate and explore alternative organizations. All assets and pilots affiliated with the name will be eradicated and removed from the game at some point between now and EOY.

After internal discussion amongst myself, Globby, and others we have settled upon a hard 2-week grace period for those who seek to remove themselves from the absolutely disgraceful and negatively-impacting organization known as "Goosefleet". It's also worth noting that a number of GOOSEFLEET affiliated members are banned / blacklisted for being toxic EVE players in the eyes of the EVE Online community so please work on your public persona and reputation, suggestions are joining groups like EVE-U or Brave or similar.

**NOTE: Any reiteration or recreation of some synonymous reincarnation of said Goosefleet can also expect an immediate (without grace period), but analogous, extermination.



Apologies in advance to those currently affiliated with said group but it's had a bad impact on Goonswarm (SA forums posters) individuals who have elected to engage with the game EVE Online, and this can no longer be tolerated and accepted.

We look forward to your feedback and thank you in advance for your understanding.



EDIT - **NOTE 2: This directive was passed down by He himself, please refrain from any nonconstructive or offensive commentary towards myself and Globby due to the mission statement we were ordered to carry out, it is simply our duty and commitment to the greater Goon.
