scandoslav posted:What's the closest historical naval warfare analogy to the Goons vs. Nongoons supercap situation? I need a way to contextualize this. The German High Seas Fleet and the British Fleet in WWI. Non-Goons are roleplaying as the smug British blockading the goons hiding in their ports, while secretly they have to hold back most of their fleet in case the goons ever try to break out with their fleet, since it's massive enough to threaten them otherwise. Jutland doesn't really work in this analogy since the goons won BR-5 and inflicted more losses. The Germans lost strategically while sinking battlecruisers left and right.

Despera posted:Really using the IBT thing as a masterstroke? People honestly believe this poo poo. Also yeah no way to camp a low sec station. No insta lock everything, no command destroyers, no drive bys. Next you'll be in a high sec station declaring victory. I didn't say it was a masterstroke, I just said it was everyone getting nuked from orbit. Apparently a particular CCP PR person reached out to IBT and invited player input for an article that I can guess was meant to make EVE look good. Of all the material the author received, it was dear leader's take on things that provided the widest view. CCP's self-aggrandizing propaganda, Laz, Killah Bee, Elise Randolph, and Vince Draken, possibly Vily. What I would love to see are all the things they submitted for the article only to be swept aside by that real poo poo. Do I really have to guess though? And none of their poo poo made it Considering all that, the inclusion of 'they'll print whatever I tell them' is goddamn fantastic. gently caress. March 28: CCP declares the name of the conflict is World War Bee April 15: The Mittani declares EVE is a poo poo game CCP thought this was a one-sided narrative game of ping pong and the return serve was a loving nuke. I can't imagine how numismancing (that's a man in the act of dancing for money btw hah gotem) will outdo himself but I've been surprised every day so far of the last couple weeks.

Hey guys, I just came back to the game and wanted to see what goons are up to. Oh, stuff is hard and it's apparently not a good idea to use ~my space coffin~. Ok, that's fine, greener pastures hooooo. Bye guys, here's some r/eve parot talk to cover my not-lovely reasons on bailing.

I'm sorting my streaming stuff but tomorrow I'll probably go again with another raven or the golem.

Rhymenoserous. We made it so Horde doesn't require APIs to join because we noticed a lot of new players were pretty hesitant and apprehensive about submitting APIs etc. for various reasons (eg. "OMG YOU'RE GONNA HACK MY ACCOUNT!" etc.) that and for a new player focused group it's not really necessary, especially if it's their first group and they're just learning the game mechanics though it. For some of the more specialized Horde stuff that some people can join we do require APIs.

It is a double edged sword not using APIs and accepting almost everyone instantly, but honestly as they are a different alliance altogether it seems to be working for yourselves pretty well and nullifies a lot of issues you'd run into doing the same with say karmafleet

Your edit would be right, if it weren't for the fact that having people use APIs to join is a recurring topic every few months in the director chat. The discussion usually ends up the same way, the majority new players don't want to make APIs to get into their first in-game corp. That's a behavior we've tracked over the year plus and keep tabs on.

That's generous of you but I think most people could have done that aspect better than has happened so far: Be fun, be the sort of people others want to hang out with, paint a picture of an exciting future, don't make it all Hotel California on the leaving aspect. In a game, emphasise the very real community aspects that the cfc had, and return to a focus on culture and not uncritical addition of numbers.

Bat left because they didn't feel they fit in anymore, and disagreed with The Imperium as it was and where GSF was headed, and noone hates them for that. The dudes who resubbed and then suddenly found bullshit reasons to flip sides because they can't rat in the middle of 50 jumps worth of blues is another story.
