if it was faked to be inflammatory, it would be exceedingly weird to write the final line in russian but not translate it into english when it is like the second most inflammatory line of the whole thing

Yeah, either someone went to a lot of trouble to fake something to be inflammatory for no real gain at all not even reddit karma, or it's real and people have discovered it's super easy to say "fake news!!" and thereby muddy the waters to the point no one can be sure of anything.

On the one hand the eve community is demented enough to do something like fake inflammatory statements for no reason other than attention, on the other hand the content of the statement is incredibly believable.

I'm trying to suppress the "well, it's Russians, believe the worst" because stereotypes are not the basis of good decisions. Considering the report that someone got doxxed at work in the last few pages in this thread, it seems pretty clear to me there's still psychos running around doing some hosed up poo poo to hurt their "enemies".

Could be fake, could be real, no loving clue.

Hanzo has told us it's a fake ping and he doesn't agree with the contents at all. Discord screenshots are trivial to fake, and as already shown plenty of people are going to take it at face value due to the eastern European stereotype.

Before it vanished the Reddit OP said they'd had the screenshot for almost two weeks before posting it. Strange to wait that long.

While a grain platform can be used for corn, a specialized corn head is ordinarily used instead.


I had some dealings with hanzo during my time in cd (before they joined imperium, I think they were RMC) he was always pleasant and polite even while I was bugging him about paying up for his members blue shooting.

Why are discord messages any easier to fake than anything else you view in a chrome browser? AFAIK you could just F12 the message body on literally any platform gamers use to communicate

I'm not going into the last thread again but this is the second time something like this has been posted, reportedly from the same guy, the first was an alliance mail. Either he's a dick or someone is using us to have another crack at making him look bad and this is where we head at lightning speed into the "don't gently caress with internal Russian politics in eve" zone.

Asher is a great loving choice. Would consider going back to imperium if I ever left Volta, whereas I would have considered it basically impossible before.

He also spoke about the same thing that had me raging back in Spring 2021. It was pretty obvious to anyone paying attention that he disagreed as well, since his participation fell off a cliff after Mittens wouldn't let people attack after M2.

Asher thinks that several of the allegations against the mittani were fabricated, but hasn’t (to my knowledge) said which ones.

Asher is cool and I always loved his fleets but no amount of leadership shuffling is going to unfuck the fact that Mittens spent a decade turning GSF into a loving twitch chat
If you read the abdication thread and are still excited to be in GSF you need your head examined IMO

this is going to sound condescending, i guess, but i am genuinely curious. it seems clear that many people in this thread view how they participate in this video game as a moral choice. do you make analogous decisions in your real life? like, never shopping on amazon, working for a company whose head has credible sexual harassment or discrimination claims, etc. video games are way lower stakes, i suppose where the consequences of sticking to your principles isn't as high. i don't mind being called a moron for still being in gsf, but the tension of constantly watching everything that has a tertiary relationship with your consumption habits (in this case, video gaming) seems very stressful

There is no ethical consumption under capitalism, but given the choice I will give my business to companies that aren't overtly lovely. Given the choice, I'll hang out with people who don't think the One Joke About Trans Folks is the height of comedy.
