It's not lagging, the game is just slowing down to give you more time to appreciate the visuals of EVE Online. Like, a lot more time.

You weren't asking me but I was told that Karmafleet is: More active in general than goonwaffe, more active in EUTZ (my tz) and if you don't have post history (like me & the guy who you were asking don't), you aren't getting into 'waffe fullstop, also with the level of background checks and infrastructure Karma do & have access to, they're functionally identical (although this might be me misunderstanding what I was told)


Micromancer posted:

All of this is as correct as it needs to be. Karmafleet is for social people that want things to do with people. The requirements for participation are stupid easy to maintain as long as you are playing. There's no reason not to choose KF over Waffe for normal players.

Thanks. I am a long time lurker (10+ years) so I guess I won't be allowed into Waffe either? I am EUTZ.

Just looked at your history, yeah no, definitely not.

You said you were in GoonWaffe back in 2014, were you vouched in? I would believe the "active poster" requirement was always there?
Also I don't think there was a forum purge but might be wrong, I have only been with Gewns since 2016. I think there was a GoonWaffe purge since then but I doubt they would have deleted forum accounts...

But hey, if you have been in Goons before, you could try getting into Karmafleet at least.

You've got like 30 posts less than me and im a 7 year old acc, so no, you're not getting into waffe

Like Micromancer said though, if you're EU and actually active, Kf is probs the one to go for.

I purge characters for inactivity every quarter. Inactivity being defined as no jabber, mumble, or posts in the past 60 days.

If you have no character’s in an imperium alliance your forum account drops to a generic Members status which has very limited access (ie Helldump) but is not deleted. The more common occurrence is goons used a bullshit email they “forgot the password” for and thus require admin assistance instead of being able to self service.

We stopped doing the Vacationers program several years back after some toxic bitter vets abused it.

Ah. I guess then there have been 4 “big” purges that are highly publicized? I just remember one day after announcing a purge we lost about 50% of sigma in Jabber overnight. :commissar:

I imagine a few of those had to do with people not keeping up with API changes like CREST and ESI.

I just unvacationed and didn't have access to any forums, even Helldump. Kind of surprised me since I remembered vacationed goons posting in Helldump and SGBS, but...

murdering them the first time was one of the most fun times i've had in eve

but a lot of that was about being on the inside watching their recon sheets being tampered with, their sbus being stolen, and knowing how easy it would have been to stop it while their entire war effort ground to a halt because of it

the system immediately became invulnerable. we were able to do this because test had never kicked out an alt-corp we put in their alliance years ago, and any director in an altcorp could unanchor an alliance SBU. so that SBU goes down, then there's nothing to shoot and all of those very tired supercapitals had nothing to do anymore.

I've said this before elsewhere. The day I turned away from TEST is when Sansha Incursions were released. We had at the time a solid doctrine using the AHAC Doctrine shamelessly stolen from Pandemic Legion. We then expanded upon that doctrine with faction fit Legions and offgrid Damnations. Then TEST showed up and became insufferable shitheads. Finally I got tired of their antics and shuffled off to entertain myself somewhere else.

Before the Fountain War and just before we were reset by TEST. I led a moveop with Konno to NPC Delve for Topgoon. One of the systems along the way for our caravan of "Magic School Busses" was 6-VDT. Popped a cyno on the undock of the station and brought in 20 some carriers and a couple of Rorquals. The panic from TEST leadership was juicy or so I've been told. They thought we were invading them.

Before we got kicked out of Dek, Zungen found us a wormhole chain that led to Test space. We brought 15 or 20 armor ships and two or three triage carriers through for a one-way trip, never planning to burn home. It was pretty fun seeing Test post on reddit about how goons were invading and their spies let them knew of our devilish plot a month ago, especially since we had only decided that morning.

EDIT: So I hear perennial also-rans Mordus Angels have reformed and are in Delve to FIT GONS again.

I'm guessing that was yesterday because I got purged less than a day after rejoining :v: though I just reset my access and that seems to have fixed things.

I really ought to get on jabber and stop messing about in hisec to be fair.

Yeah once a quarter I remove anyone with no posts, no jabber connection, or no mumble connection in the past 60 days. I try to avoid doing it to people who just joined the Corp but sometimes I don’t catch that.
