I am the elite player you have been looking for. Ponchy said he would spot me the 3 bill, trust me I'm good for it. But to get the 3 bill you will need to send me 100 mil for the bank of Kungfu unlock fee. It is very expensive living here in Nigeria.

The important thing to take away from this is that despite two weeks of announcements and personal pings, if you still managed to gently caress up and not register your account names with the bot, it's not some sort of death sentence or banishment, you literally just have to do the thing you were asked to do for the last two weeks and you'll be all good.

It's really Not A Big Deal, unless you decide to poo poo your pants and make it one.

Also your bank account number and password so i can automatically deposit your funds for your convenience. Right after i confirm your information i will give you all my computer information.

Toilet EVE is serious business. What is this verification and authentication you speak of? How dare you have standards and try and keep track of characters and golden eggs and participation. As king of EO, I declare this to be an unlawful activity, in my space kingdom we wont have any accountability shenanigans. Trust me, I'm with the government, i wouldn't lie to you. ;)

No one was making GBS threads their pants FYI. I was confused and asked what was going on and the admins got pretty hostile in the pubbie channel. Yeah, I failed and didn't read the announcements channel because I have a massive backlog of unread messages and that is true for all my messaging apps, and it didn't help that I lost access to the announcements channel so I approached the whole thing thinking my client was bugged. But once I figured out what was going on I had all the requirements and presented them properly at the time, and the bot accepted my auth. But it seems pretty clear that once you get on the bad side of the current admins, everything you can possibly say or do will be interpreted in the worst possible way. Yeah it's pretty weird. My new corp has some names I remember playing with and they are chill people. Thanks for starting my 24H timer early guys.

Anyways my comment was more a response to the litany of things the current admin was saying to me in the Discord, which doesn't matter really.

No, you blew up people expressing disbelief at how stupid you are as a serious attack. You kept saying that people wanted you to dig up ancient history instead of....verifying that you're an active member that literally everyone else in the alliance has to do. You wanted to join a goon group without knowing what makes a goon group. You didn't follow simple rules. People were laughing at how you thought you were the victim here.

So lets put it plainly for you and any other J4G: This is a group for people who are active members of the Something Awful forum and can follow simple rules that involve registering that you are an active member of the community. That's it. If you can't do that, :frogout:.

LOL. No. Stop with the persecution complex, no one was hostile in the pubbie chat. Questioning how you came to join us is not being hostile, since you had stated you were not active on the forum.

Look man, by your own admission you weren't playing with us or even on discord with us. Don't feel bad, I hosed up getting my characters in discord until I received a naughty boy ping, and fixed it. If you are going to be happy in another corp then cool. But don't think you were the only one that was addressed. I mean i am the king of EO, and if they will scold me then they will scold anyone. Kind of hurt my royal feelings.

Just not reading the announcement channels or really any channels outside the mission and ratting stuff. My bad on that part, not really disputing that.

Yeah Death has been reasonably active. I’ve seen them in voice and in different fleets since the beginning.

Also the pubbie channel stuff should have been handled via PMs. Some people did get weirdly aggressive about it and it should have just been handled differently.

Also, "don't steal the Corp wallet" doesn't mean "don't take 1 bil out of the corp wallet and trigger a 43-hour audit timer", it just means you have to eventually put it back when you're done with it.

Then it seems we are at an empass. It will take a measly $500.00 sent through Western Union to a local gas station for me to pay our IT department to provide you this information. They work on a cash basis only, such a small amount for such a space rich person like yourself.

Yeah I think that comment of mine was the one that seemed to offend you quite a bit. Everything coming from you after that was pretty weirdly hostile. This has never been a big deal in any prior iteration of goon corp before this in any of the toilet mobile space games over the past year.

I haven't played EO in over a decade and SA has gradually dropped off my radar over the past decade as well, because not everybody continues using the same websites they used in college. I've usually lurked more than I posted anyways. A goon IRL friend telling me about SG brought me back to both toilet space games and reading the SA forums more generally. It's been cool to catch up on a decade of content and find out that Lowtax was a shitbag all along among other things. It's a pretty cool nostalgia trip not only playing a space game again but looking at these forums again and reading a decade of comedy goldmine that I missed and trying to find old threads that I remember from back in the day. So much of the site is the same as it always was, but also so much has changed, and it was a neat surprise last year to find out that it's still alive at all.

I’m not much of a “real goon” in any way except culturally, I guess. I’ve never been much of a poster, more of a lurker, and besides a 5 year stint in GoonFleet/waffe back in the day (Sesfan is #1), I guess I would look suspicious too. Yet, I had no problems being welcomed back for Toilet Eve. In fact, when I was flailing around trying to add my goon auth, Crell took pity upon me and walked me through it (thanks again). I guess the moral is don’t be a jerk about your own problems, and people won’t throw you out into the cold.
