Is Brisc still a standing member of The Imperium? Because if so, and you're still in it after what he's posting on reddit right now, gently caress you.

there are a great many idiot kings on their idiot hills in the imperium and i am not gonna quit each time one of them says something dumb lol esp if they're literally just a line member who is incredibly up their own rear end. i have heard through the grape vine that asher ws not in fact particularly stoked about this appearance of mittani on the meta show and that a number of other alliance/corp directors are similarly unstoked and while i trust the source of this information i haven't seen like logs or anything. that's enough for me. if mittani returns, i'm out, but he and his buddies have been swearing up and down for over a year that he's not interested in doing so. tbd i guess but i think the chances are slim.

i also learned from that thread that brisc has me blocked on reddit :sparkles:

pretty much this, so I shouldn't be surprised that thundering shitbird pissbaby Brisc would play the rehab card. I was prepared to give GSF the benefit of the doubt but Mittani being even remotely near the org is enough for me to quit. If I should ever come back though, I am going to have *so* much crap in Irmalin, Villasen, Ienakkamon, Isie and Aurohunen

I doubt Brisc playing the rehab card because that implies he thinks anything wrong was done in the first place. Dude was carrying water for Xenuria when this was all coming fast. A little groping
, sexual assault and dick showing? You think a republican booster is gonna have problems with that? That’s a Tuesday at the country club.

Every once in a I come to the realization that my major discomforts with cults of personality in this game and how people latch onto just terrible loving assholes was probably underdeveloped if anything.

I’m also very glad I stuck to squads and sigs and left when the “space empire” turned its malevolent eye inwards.

I think the only space personalities in the game I liked were Merkelchen and Mister Vee, maybe Apple Pear and Alice as well. Anyway, today I learned that ZXB doesn't kick out to Irmalin but some other system in Aridia. But, again, like I'm actually going to be around to pick any of that stuff up

The only mainline FC I really got along with was Laz. I hated boat, disliked Vily, and Vee mostly FC’d out of my TZ. I don’t count KColor because bombing was a distinctly different experience.

Apple was very apologetic after a cerb fleet got deleted on a gate during Beeitnam, but he were always very chill. Vee was far too chill which made his fleets great. I remember Vee taking out a Baltec fleet and skating around the M2 constellation and nuking 7 dreads, a fax and a carrier and it was the most fun I've had in this terrible game

Personally if I didn't want people thinking my alliance was full of lovely people I'd kick the lovely people to the curb, but what do I know about running a space empire.

remember when the easiest win GSF could have won was to simply kick Mittani after he'd handed over control to Asher or that dickhead that said they weren't recruiting from here and instead let him get inactivity kicked? Like, just actually kick him as soon as, everyone sees GSF is serious on cracking down on the shitheads. Instead we get Yogizh making transphobic jokes in corp mail and not being booted because he does spacejobs

I’ve run into this in other game guilds I’ve run/been an officer in. I had one guy get ultra mad because I booted a racist because he mined metal real good and my response was “don’t loving care and you can go too if you are that mad about it”.

Someone will always step up, we survived losing “hits rocks good guy” and there’s always a SC looking to dip his toes into strategic poo poo. You literally don’t have to put up with this kind of thing.

He's a member of imperium

He broadcasts on the imperium news network

But he doesn't represent or speak for the imperium. Honestly. It's technically a separate entity and there's literally nothing anyone can do about any of this.

it was a point I tried to make, but probably failed, to Jinx last night. it's okay for BARVE leadership to say "gently caress Mittani", but when the Imperium's mouthpiece has him on, and *especially* when Imperium leadership didn't even condemn Mittani when the shitshow went down, well it rings kind of hollow
