Bit random, but last night I was wondering if it's time to rebrand from the Imperium too, now Mittens is gone there's no need for a media friendly pubbie name. Can we go back to being the CFC please?

Fun fact, Asher proposed renaming from the Imperium when he took the reins, and the pubbie masses responded: NO.

I wish. That we had a thread for talking about Eve game stuff. Not all this endless snapping and bickering. It's been like this for a year and a half now. I don't remember if it used to be different. I think it used to be a little better.

Right now. The thread isn't good for anyone.

If you want to talk about the game join any of the goon Eve discords, plenty of good posting there. This is a cursed place and the thread will continue to enjoy writhing around in the mud into the foreseeable future, as it has for years.

It's not a democracy. Nobody should give a drat what the Karmafleet pubbies think about changing the name and just do it. They're not going to leave over the name change anyway. The only thing they'll do is post badly, more often, about how Delta killed their dumb personality cult.

It was never better. I've been lurking Eve threads on SA since like 2006-2007, and the amount of catfighting and negative-ness never seemed to be "in good fun," or "inside jokes." It's because of these threads that I never even downloaded the game to try it out, because even the folks at "the top levels" of the game posted about how much they hated Goons and playing games with Goons. I always figured comms would be horrible, and that's not even taking into account gamer words and opinions.

A good posting buddy finally convinced me in 2022 to at least try it out for a month, and paid my first Omega after I learned basics of ship movement and piloting in the New Player Experience for about a month. This was right as the sub price went up and Mittani stepped down, so lots of changes were in the air. But all the negative posting, personal sniping, backstabbing, and general bad vibes from the SA Eve thread(s) were just...not there. All the Goons I played with and went on fleets with were genuinely helpful and tolerated my endless questions with good-natured humor and awareness. I never made more money on a single day in Eve than on my second fleet when I tackled the FC one jump out from 1DQ on the way home (I'd locked him so I didn't get too far away for fleet warps while traveling, and a neut came through a gate we were sitting at...I immediately scrammed, then webbed...only to figure out a minute later that the only one I had targeted was still Zintage). Everyone has been really open and nice, from mining to 10% TiDi structure bashes. I haven't been able to play as much as a I like recently, but folks on Discord and Jabber are still a lot of fun to chat with every day.

the absolute failure to replicate delta's success had i think less to do with us being lightning in a bottle, and more to do with leadership being utterly disconnected from the concepts of fun and socializing in a way that didn't involve exploiting random strangers/vampire larpers/antisocial nerds.

They saw the leadership of delta just having fun and not trying to make money off of them via sketchy casinos and news sites and just got hopelessly confused.

You can check the character sheet, Black Market Trading shows up like any other skill though some third party apps that use ESI don’t display it.

First, lowball offer for it would be 20 bill for a starter account with 6 mill.

Who gives a poo poo what the pubbies want. They're happy to adopt the name "goon" without understanding it and, they're clearly Institutionalised to Mittens at this point. Being dragged back into the real world may not be such a bad thing for them, even if they are screaming and kicking at the time..

The Republic of Luna Equestria is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, cynical population of 714m are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich.

It sets a price floor for characters, whatever value you can suck out their head in extractors

Also you no longer need to buy xxxWeedBonerLordxxx with a corp mebershop in EveSexGods and have that as your character if you want a cap pilot quick as you can just buy the brain juice
