I agree wholeheartedly, which, unless I'm mistaken, sat at the core of Eonwe's "trolling".

In any case, I'd like to just take things back and just talk about AA stuff. I feel pretty strongly guild drama should be confined to the offsite wherever possible.

Speaking off, Widestancer, could you add the info for the various AA goon guilds to the OP? I don't know, I might have missed it, sorry if you already posted it.

How come I don't see you in game much anymore? We need some firm hands these days.

That is until the "PvP" Commander, Kim-"FYGM"-semus, decide to screw everyone by killing all the other "non allied" greens fishing with us.

Haha I've always wanted to do that but instead I try and make nice with everyone.

I personally had a great time leading pirate content with one of the largest pirate fleets we've had in awhile, and we were able to have fun while respecting our fishing agreements 100%. Even though DBRB and others cried so much to Riyott he had to leave his IRL Friends and rush home to try and ban me on mumble, once everyone in the channel explained I, and the others did nothing wrong, he left satisfied that the pirates, once again, were on the right side of justice.

C'mon bud, give us the juicy details! People having fun will attract new players!

e: I can't believe people texted Riyott, and that he went home.

Here's a few snaps I took the other day.

The story goes Wicked wanted to contest it and we did all the work. But then the stories change and goons are just itching to gently caress with Wicked sometimes.

You realize that SCT and Dodgy remained friendly right? And nothing actually changes, you morons are just trying to start the drama chain again for some reason.

Probably because you've reached peak fireman position and people are calling you out on your poo poo.

Rather than walking on eggshells and waiting to be kicked, I've decided to leave. If things ever get better I'd be happy to return to GS, but for the moment I don't believe we see eye to eye and I respectfully resign from the guild. Feel free to say "Hi" in game.

I removed anyone under lvl 50 that hasn't logged in in a month. If anyone does want to still play and you've been kicked, please pm me and I'll get you back in. As well, if anyone was accidentally kicked, please message me as well. I tried to be super careful so I don't think anyone active was kicked.

I've been playing games with goons since 2003, this has definitely been the most anger and drama I've seen so far. I didn't play Darkfall though, I hear that one wasn't pleasant either.

With an increase in goons, a lot of us lose that "tight-knit" feel we used to feel in goon guilds. Maybe it was just me though. I have noticed in a few games that people that ran poo poo in other games would come into a new game with a sort of expectation that the pecking order would remain the same. I frankly couldn't care less who "runs" poo poo, as long as people are having fun and we're creating content for one another. Maybe that isn't the reason for drama here either.

I think its a few different things maybe. As the average goon is getting older, we have full time jobs and responsibilities, and choosing to use AA to take up our free time is an investment. If people are causing your investment of time to not be worthwhile, I expect people to leave or go with other likeminded's to achieve whatever it is they're looking to get out of the game. Some people don't have the patience to deal with others.

It could be the increasing hostility I see on the internet in general these days, zero empathy and echo chambers. Could be the young vs the old. The casuals vs the tryhards. Blacks and whites. Jews and gentiles. Christians and atheists. It could be a lot of things.

Its not though. Having given it some thought, I know why everyone was angry and Goon Squad imploded. The answer is fishing.
