There does seem to be a lot more activity over the past few months with people joining or coming back from a break, and the corp discord has a pretty lively chat. Jay stealing everything in sight ironically brought the corp closer together trying to fix things.

I was former goonwaffe that took a break due to RL, then saw what happened with the mittens (and SA) drama and said nope. Not sure what hapened with Jay stealing stuff (I have been away a long time), but I am glad to hear that things are better now. It was really an interesting time being part of Theta, living in Deklein, and doing importing stuff into VFK.

CrushedWill posted:I was former goonwaffe that took a break due to RL, then saw what happened with the mittens (and SA) drama and said nope. After Mittens resigned last summer, Goonwaffe was an autonomous collective for three or four months. Some people wanted their tribe to have a leader however, and one of the aspirants to the job wanted to require paps. I awoke from my slumber, yelled hell no, and seized the reins of (functional) power. That was in October of last year. After that I put in some fairly standard “if you cause me headaches I’ll yeet you into the sun” social policies, while returning waffe double srp, a free myrm/ishtar/mining barge replacement per month, mid-grade amulet replacement, and a cap cache of about 24 ships any goon could borrow. People could join from SA or from a vouch from an active member. After 90 days vouches could apply for naturalization and vouch others. We still got 3-5 SA ppl per month but got a lot more from vouches. Since waffe leadership is just me and I operate in a strict “won’t start none there won’t be none” philosophy, I started getting a lot of applicants from other corps who were sick of middle management bullshit. Our discord is a pretty happy place with a mix of old and new peeps and very little drama, other than when Jay Derkin swallowed the whole rear end SA bait on this forum and got perma banned. Anyway our liberal vouch policy earned the ire of a bunch of pubbie corps who blamed all our free stuff instead of their constant loving with people for why they were losing members. So now we pay taxes, pay for our own moons, and cover our own bonus SRP, yet still are isk positive and grow more members because being chill unto each other is actually the secret sauce. Last Tuesday, jay amazingness, who started in the coalition as a literal 14yr old kid, and grew up in the coalition over the past 10-12 yrs flipped, removed market and clone services on the 1dq1 keep star and stole several trillion in alliance assets. He also had full director in goonwaffe for “reasons” and cleaned us out to the tune of about 250 bil. I organized a donation drive in return for Jay hosed Me medals in order to reimburse amulets and nirvanas and at the time of this writing have gotten about 150bil in isk, 200 bil in caps, and another 50-60 bil in saleable goods. Turns out goons are still generous and take care of each other. I think at this point everyone who has asked for Implants has gotten them back, and we are diving feet first into angel fw. And it’s all been credit to the members. Only thing I can claim is being around long enough to have seen it all before and take good ideas from my people when they have them. If you want to enjoy null or angel fw goonwaffe is in a good place now. Goosefleet is also having a lot of fun in stain too. Whichever style you looking for. I will say that while Goonwaffe is a large corp in the alliance with a lot of illum representation, we aren’t necessarily the center of gravity for the alliance, so you do have to, on occasion, deal with dumbassery from other corps in the alliance. If that’s going to be a hardship, I’d wholeheartedly recommend Goosefleet. andromache fucked around with this message at 03:50 on Nov 21, 2023 |

NGL it’s nice to see that waffe has actual representation in the alliance now. It was pretty obvious since about 2013-14 that Mittens was always more about cementing his own legend into the annals of Eve and there was literally an entire era of him loving over goons in favor of shitbird pubs that would evaporate whenever the hard times knock.

At a certain point in numbers, I would assume a level of bureaucracy is necessary. With that comes risk of loss due to greed. Shame to hear about Jay. It does seem like Goonwaffe is doing well, and that is great to see given past and recent events.

wait, who was it again who wanted Waffe to be treated like a normal corp? If I remember it was the same dildo who told Mittani to get the gently caress offline while the shitstorm was raging, but I can't remember their name

ShaneMacGowansTeeth posted:wait, who was it again who wanted Waffe to be treated like a normal corp? If I remember it was the same dildo who told Mittani to get the gently caress offline while the shitstorm was raging, but I can't remember their name So there were kind of two phases. In the initial shitstorm after Mittens resigned and a lot of people were grieving the loss of the only leader they'd ever known (lol), almost all alliance functions were pulled out of Goonwaffe. GSOL, Procurement, Finance, Blackops, Recon, Gooniversity all that went into its own altcorp. The only thing that remained in Goonwaffe was alliance SRP, mostly because I'm an old man who hates change and there's few people that gonna make me move when I don't want to move. Some of the motivation for that was to appease the masses, and some of it was because the illum heads of those functions were very upset and wanted to do something about it. There wasn't really a "who" in particular at this point, because it was pretty widespread across the alliance. Even though all those functions moved out, however, the corp wasn't taxed, gsol continued to fuel and maintain its corp moons, we had free double srp, etc. It was just kind of on autopilot. I think the majority of people thought it would merge into Karmafleet or die out now that the Delta Menace was Expunged. However that really didn't happen and we started growing like 15-20 people (not characters) a month because of our hassle free environment. I don't require paps, I just require someone to make a post, be on jabber, be on mumble, or go on a fleet at least once in the past 60 days. Just do one of those things and you stay. That's it. So that appealing environment led to phase 2 where multiple membercorps drat near rioted to Asher about Goonwaffe's special status. Because it had to be the free stuff Goonwaffe has, not their own lovely practices that are at fault, right? So on September 16 our special tax free status on industry, moons, and ratting was revoked, we had to fuel and pay for our own moons, and I have to reimburse the alliance for our bonus SRP. Despite all that we still regularly get refugees from other corps. I wasn't told who bitched to Asher, though I have my suspicions, and it's probably good they don't tell me because knowing me my words would likely hurt them. Turns out in hindsight Phase 1 was a good idea because it limited the damage Jay could do. He had full director in goonwaffe so the only things he stole at an alliance level was about 40bil in SRP isk, and 40 sets of mid-grade amulets. Everything else in Goonwaffe was the corporation's stuff I'd built over the past year.
