This game is p. fun but there are lots of little annoyances that keep it from being what it could be. Mostly hacks and the inability to find land despite having to pay real money to own land. I like trucking. Trucking is fun.

theory about Kewpuh getting pissed at AAgoons about kicking BFM might actually be right. On an unrelated note, can we get a bunch of

It amazes me how people have had the explanation literally spelled out for them and still don't get it.

Eminai posted:Please quote the guy who literally talked about it being okay and normal to get 16 year olds drunk and gently caress them, cause I'm pretty sure nobody said that. The problem is that he is still involved behind closed doors, can still post in AAGoons, and the guild leadership is trying to censor any discussion or jokes at SCT's expense instead of admitting he protected a pedophile. All it would take to get the discussion to stop is guild leadership going "SCT is not welcome and anyone associated with him and BFM are not welcome. Please feel free to laugh at his expense." But, instead, they continue to tiptoe around the issue, shout down dissenters, and attempt to sweep discussion under the rug instead of just outright saying they have cut ties with some internet BFF of theirs. The last time I heard Dodgy in Mumble making a state of the guild address, he literally said "We've been working with act and others for Auroria planning." So, no, he is not cast out as he should be. Just because someone isn't a pedophile themselves doesn't mean they aren't supporting a culture that condones it. Nothing changes if these people aren't shown that there are actual consequences to being pieces of poo poo, and no game is more important than an actual child being groomed by some creepster. If the guild would straight up say that instead of going "Oh, but we kicked him! See! We're totally not still chatting with them in private mumble servers or anything!" then the problem would be solved. But instead of laughing at how dumb SCT was, people rage out and end up stirring poo poo over their e-friends' honor because "he led fun raids."

ragnoxiii posted:There is some really small vocal minority that think SCT is going to return to Goon Squad like some prophesized messiah. Those people deserve to be ridiculed. The issue is that small minority also has a decent amount of control in terms of invites, bans, guild resources, planning, etc. It's definitely not all leaders (I know you've been fighting the good fight for awhile, Kimsemus), but the group that does stick up for SCT is unfortunately ruining it for the 99% of goons that understand what's going on and no one has the power to tell them otherwise. In other, game-related news, I finally put a small plot down on Dewstone and oh lordy the money is gonna be rolling in. I did four runs during yesterday's Sand/Hellswamp/Halc peace just because staging packs there cuts a good 8 minutes or so off my old run route. Still figuring out a way to utilize this space for gilda runs somehow, but it's infinitely better than my old Lilyut plot was. Anyone worried about land should definitely consider searching for small plots. 16x16s and Thatched are all taken, but 8x8s can usually be found in prime locations if you look around, and they can be incredibly useful. I don't even use my farms to grow trade pack materials and they're still worth it just to have space to grow items that sell or otherwise stage packs I crafted off the AH. It might be a slower profit than growing your own materials, but you can still afford a month playtime easy with just a couple small farms and using it to its potential.

ragnoxiii posted:Not really. Almost all of them are pirate and persona non grata in GS. The rest of the leadership as far as I know are all non-alpha goons and have no ties to SCT. One or two have returned from piracy and went back pirate within days. Trying to completely cleanse the off site is a different matter, and the struggle with that continues. It would be nice if the non-retarded goons could convene here, but someone always has to come and self-own themselves every week. Then the current leadership needs to put their foot down and make that clear, because it's still hard to log in at peak times without a ton of people in guild chat shouting "IMP ZONE" and "oh god stop stirring poo poo up by mentioning SCT!" A few people like Kimsemus are willing to say "If you stick up for SCT you are dumb," but somewhere there's power being lost to actually do anything about it, especially with Dodgy being gone and openly working with SCT behind the scenes anyway. Eonwe posted:gently caress my life Keep trying, friend. I had my one TS from a Pine, if that makes any difference. I know people are all about cedars nowadays, but I'm a traditionalist like that.

ragnoxiii posted:That's fine, I'm glad you are ready. A lot of Goons are not and they need strong active leadership to pull them through this period of aimlessness. Wasn't a dig at you , more to highlight changes in the way leadership is handling things. Well, my issues with leadership are entirely with the ~drama~ going on. As far as the game itself goes, I think we're doing ok given all the circumstances going on. Fishing raids are plentiful, we have quite a few goons doing regular gilda runs, and GHA is a normal occurrence. I think most of the issues we're having with a guild in terms of direction are really things beyond our control. Like, a ton of poo poo just got straight up locked out from us by XL and Trion when the game came out. Because Freedich allowed housing, FC could just port everyone in when a guild tried to turn in packs. Locking that island down was a huge advantage to have in the first week or two of game time, and we really have no choice but to play catch-up on a lot of fronts because there was simply nothing we could do until a change of game mechanics gets patched in with that. A lot of goons are also upset about land, but that's another thing we have no control over. We're losing people because they can't take advantage of a game mechanic they paid real money for, and until we get land-grab hacks patched out and more land areas patched in, PVP will remain secondary to a lot of members who still don't have even a 16x16 down yet, let alone cottages or thatched houses. I see a lot of people complaining that "there's no one doing anything" or "we need direction," but as a generalist who likes a lot of different aspects of the game, I see poo poo going on all the time. It's just that our hands really are tied on a lot of the big issues people are concerned about due to having to play catch-up after losing Freedich that first week. Our FC pact helps a little bit, but we can only get people merchant ships (and therefore gold to buy the goods they need for other aspects of the game) so fast before November 4th.

I don't mind fishing goons having a pact because fishing is chill and it's the only way spawn points will ever get any use. That said, I make more money on trucking and would never consider spending 250 Gilda on a fishing boat when I could save a little more for a merchant ship or cutter.

Logged in. Saw Turtledad and Vekraken kicked, followed by "If you bring up past poo poo you will be kicked" in all caps. Promptly left guild.  I told Kimsemus to make <Goon Squall> but I'd be happy to join any offshoot even if it has a lesser name.

No word on new housing for current zones?  Still unsure about Auroria, especially with recent goon drama. Given the game's libertarian fantasy and the fact I work on Tuesdays, the chances of finally laying my thatched plot are fairly low. I just want to have a body pillow safe space, guys.

Guuse posted:I don't think that there is any intention of adding housing to existing zones. They are supposedly working towards adding more zones on the two southern continents (along with new races) but I don't think that those have been released in Korea, either. Oh? I thought that a lot of the open space had been converted into extra housing in the Korean release. That's what goons kept saying in guild, anyway.

Careful guys. Valor (the player, but also the guild) knows goons and was trying to drop some sweet knowledge on why Kimsemus left (all fo which was bullshit). Apparently he "knows goons better than we know the bottom of our nutsack," and has totally legit insider info. He called me salty. Thanks for the trade packs, Valor.

Kimsemus posted:Oh my I wonder what it could have been, what if VALOR IS ACTUALLY TATERS Something about the fishing treaty and the majority of the guild being mad at it being broken so there were literal riots for your head or something. Also, Valor being good friends with goons since '94 or something or so he knew everything. I wanted to screenshot the conversation because it was so random and out there, but apparently the buttons I thought were ss buttons were not.

30.5 Days posted:That's not entirely untrue, though. There was a riot for kimsemus's head because he killed green fishers. Although kimsemus didn't actually break the treaty he just followed it which apparently nobody was supposed to do. True, but that's not why anyone was kicked, as far as I can tell. Basically, the whole thing was a continuation of "MAH FISHING  " except from Valor. And ignoring the whole Taters thing. And sweeping secrets under rugs. Or that we kill fisherman now. And consistently steal Valor packs of all types.

Bait and Swatch posted:I didn't catch most of the night's piracy, but man was that sequence of fights with Wicked fun. Felt good to earn some crime points again. Yeah. I ended up with 12m of jailtime halfway through that last skirmish with Wicked, so I missed some of the fun, but it was one of the best nights of piracy in awhile. A few hauls was nice, but it was mostly just great fights with UDL and Wicked, and hilarious antics. Standing sideways on the cabin wall of a fishing boat that was just launched like a mating whale into the air while our captain holds on for dear life will be a highlight of this game for me. e: As I was clinging to the side, I didn't see how much airtime was actually had. I really hope someone got screenshots.

This whole thing is even funnier when you consider that a few people are probably NOT getting kicked and are therefore reaping land harvests as we speak since there are no housing limits. I look forward to paying for my thatched plot by stealing from these people as the sail between Auroria and the mainlands.
