Not BBQ sauce, but here's a Thai curry I got from Jokine of all people a few years back. Requires thai red curry paste to work, but that's easy enough to find at any asian grocery store: -2 cans coconut milk -1,5 tsp thai red curry paste -2 tbsp brown sugar -2 tbsp oyster sauce -1 tbsp fish sauce -1 tsp curry powder -1/2 cup peanuts -1 large onion, chopped -1/2 bell pepper, julienned Mix ingredients, boil a bit on low heat, simmer, and reduce. Add chicken, pork, or fish and slow cook this to your heart's content. Serve over rice.

So Mittani took some time to explain to my ~slowbrain~ why I was headshot. All of my edgy shitposting and true goon comedy was totally indicative of someone ready to go fuckgoons. From that perspective, I can totally see it and frankly do not blame them at all for doing it. In my little posting world, I had just been seeing stuff as isolated posts where as the directorate was seeing the story of JOKINE: REVENGE OF ORDO GARR. TLDR; I ~truegooned~ to the point of every one getting jumpy. I also was inadvertently encouraging people to be as dumb and potentially more dumb than me.

Numismancer posted:Regarding the H1Z1 stuff, we're going multiplatform because we need to do so to recruit and survive, it's kind of like when we first rammed through the 'alien and ungoony' reimbursement program. Future attacks on other games will be a lot more casual and less new/scary because it's now just a Thing We Do. That's why you saw all the posts from every coalition leader in the Imperium loudly supporting it. Is the idea that, just as Goonwaffe recruits and gets new blood from SA, various Reddit alliances from Reddit, etc., the Imperium is going multi-platform in order to recruit from people currently playing other games? Thus, EVE will get new players in the Imperium from H1Z1 or whatever other game we invade, and likewise the Imperium in Star Citizen (or whatever) gets a bunch of Imperium players who started in H1Z1 (or whatever). I feel like I understand the short-term vision: "The EVE Goon Extended Family pulls the equivalent of "Burn Jita" in other games. It will be fun." I don't understand the longer-term vision, unless my first paragraph is spot-on.

Your first paragraph is spot on. Also, we've found that corps who have people who play other games together as a group of friends have superior retention, participation, and loyalty to the community, so we want to not only recruit from other games - we want to get our guys used to playing other games together in an organized way. Stronger identity and group bonding is the only thing defending the Space Empire (tm) when there's a VFK Invasion situation. It's easy to have friends when you win win win, but those friends desert you if they're only there for ~elite pvp~ and the winning suddenly stops. NCdot is a great example of the glass jaw of a 'win-identity' community. We survived the Delve welp and VFK attack because the bonding between line players, goonmeets, Vegas parties etc mean that when your rear end is on the line and you have nothing but grit on your side, our guys keep logging in despite insurmountable odds and we pull through. We never judge an alliance's strength on their victories, but on their 'oh gently caress everything sucks and we screwed up' moments - how well they pull together, how strong the culture and identity is in those moments, etc.

I'm more curious is this more to get new blood for existing allies in the Imperium, or are we more looking for groups that already display the ability to work together in an organized way to incorporate into the Imperium as groups? I guess either would be beneficial. Gotta fill space with Fozziesov. e: heh, cool

Honestly, my first thought is that this is basically a trial run on what will happen when CCP finally fucks up too many times and Eve dies a sad and lonely death. The other stuff isn't untrue, in that going out and recruiting from other games and building our community through activities is a positive thing and worthwhile on their own. But I have to assume that the people who have put ten years of actual work into running this poo poo have thought about what would happen if Eve closes up, decided that they don't want to lose everything they have built, and want to prepare for it in advance. You start running these sort of short-term game invasions while the core game is still good to work out any problems and tune the process over multiple events, and get people on board with the idea that the Imperium is more than just their Eve ticker. If you can condition people to jump into other games as a coherent group, following the same people, keeping the same sort of discipline and focus that has been cultivated in Eve, then whenever Eve dies you will have have the framework in place to keep the whole juggernaut alive and just make another game the primary residence.

The reasoning behind invading H1Z1 was great, lots of upside, minimal downside. Easy decision. The messaging needs work for rounds 2-10, because it confused joe evegoon to look at their fleet finder and see it was talking about zombie apocalypses.

Here's a thought: Would, in your search to expand to other games/genres, you advocate to bring that player-base into the Goonfleet banner or to develop a TMC forum in order to facilitate organization? My focus is closer to the "shared infrastructure?" question than the "Goon cultural purity" end of the spectrum.

The optics are such that we've found ourselves being caretakers of the Eve Online game preserve, which tremendously limits what I can state in public about my opinions on changes like Fozziesov except that we need recruits due to increased population density in space (which is also why we keep giving up regions to consolidate). Example: We have the power to absolutely glass Providence and murder it forever, and instead we're doing gimmicky roleplay hijinks and a Burn Amarr and this whole Max Singularity thing. Fights will happen. It will be fun, a bunch of drama and tears, but at the end of the day Provi will still be Provi and they'll have some stories and hijinks to talk about as they (at gunpoint) swear loyalty to Max Singularity and then we Burn Amarr. Back in the day we could ~try~ to glass Provi and folks would band together to stop us - and we couldn't really do it or keep it dead. AAA conquered Provi but they got it back, etc. The modern Imperium could absolutely kill Provi, deadzone it, and keep it dead until their whole community ragequit and died. Like Israel, our coalition fought for survival for so long until our enemies collapsed around us and we were abruptly the last guys standing with guns and tanks and nukes, and that kind of raw in-game organizational and military power needs to be used with care.
