He is a ladder climbing fucktard and anyone that misses him is mentally retarded and should be put down. He is currently a director in some poo poo corp in Kadeshi. If by lovely power grab, you mean literally do nothing except talk to mittens and Digi on skype, then yes, it was practically a coup and I have no idea why I'm not goon CEO in EVE. I'm also touched you've been keeping track of me, but yes, I'm basically camping in Kadeshi because they're pretty chill dudes. Trying to still find engagement in EVE, but it's pretty stale atm, in my opinion. Being in goons was a lot of fun, I miss most of the dudes. It's simply too bad that some EVE spacelords got upset that I wouldn't let them ruin content for a couple hundred other goons because they wanted to play EVE politics in a Korean weeboo MMO. PS that TMC article was a propaganda fluff piece I was asked to do. I wouldn't forum dump NCdot when I left so mittens said I had to do some lulzy TMC article that would burn bridges with NCdot instead.

It's almost like DJ knows to post on reddit instead of on SA because he'll actually reach a wider and more receptive audience, and it's almost like he knows SA well enough to not waste his time posting in the EVE thread, since a lot of what he'll get are a bunch of straw men and J4Gs making GBS threads blood and defending the current state of affairs, since for any other goons, nothing of what he is saying is news. It's almost like he genuinely wants to give his opinion without dunking on the current goon entity or their leadership where it's not deserved. It's almost like he's trying to reply to people with genuine questions instead of getting baited into character assassination by a bunch of smugposters. Weird. evilweasel posted:I'm not a mod anymore and never was a mod in games, I just know you won't post that nonsense anywhere you might get called on your poo poo. If you feel like you can call him on his poo poo it's not like you can't make a reddit account if it matters that much to you.

Having no idea who Xenuria is (I was in goonswarm for like a month) wouldn't other people be able to be able to post logs or substantiate what DJ has said? Furthermore, I agree -- why not just dump all the logs and proof you have of everything and let people chew on that awhile? I actually have no idea who most of the people DJ posts about are, but if its his general feeling that the thing that exists today is different from the thing that existed before, and he doesn't like that, I guess that's his opinion and that's okay right? He says this all got started over something Sion posted (I have no idea who that is either), but I agree with anyone who say she should dump any logs that support his case.

I guess what I'm trying to say is I (and many people) have no frame of reference as to whether Sion, Xenuria, or anyone else is poo poo or not. Most goons are faintly aware that the current state of affairs is sort of poo poo judging by some of the sperg posting that goes on here and things like book kickstarters and taking shill money from Daybreak Games, but when you say someone is a terrible cocksucker, I have no idea if they are or not because I've interacted with them zero. And also I don't think Xenuria is going to give you the evidence you need so he can fall on his own sword. I just feel like, objectively, your narrative makes sense but it rings hollow in places without substantive evidence.

I'm not even questioning what you've said about past goonswarm glories or your leadership or how you liked to do things because I believe you. What I DO question is when someone makes a direct accusation against someone but then just expects people who are otherwise completely neutral to believe it. I don't loving know ANY of the people you've mentioned on reddit or here but if you say they're poo poo I'd like to at least know why. That's all I'm saying. Typically people here respond better to accusations with proof, is all I'm saying, and a lot of people like me were never privvy to the round table discussions and inner dealings of whatever the gently caress was going on. Also you seem like a swell guy but if you were tired of talking about dumb space bullshit maybe you should have stayed in retirement instead of making a lot of big posts on other websites about dumb space bullshit.

These two things are in posts on the very same page. Perhaps another, better poster can help me sort through the apparent narrative conflict. I think posts like this: Cal posted:OH please. We were talking about nuking you from TSC for quite some time and you knew that. You wanted to run before you could get the official axe. Illum means nothing hardly and you knew it. It was TSC you got all spacehurt about knowing you lost your access to the real poo poo. Maybe he's saying the line members held no ill will, but some in leadership tried to villainize him.

Just for clarification since I wasn't in goons, what did Endie do while in goons? I've heard from some he organized campaigns or something? And what would cause people like Cal (whoever that is) to allude that he was going to be removed from The Star Chamber ( I assume that's like the small council)? Did Endie do a bad job or something?

I don't think anyone who steps up and tries to provide fun for other people can do so without attracting critics. Which is a shame, since intrinsically all people who lead stuff in MMOs are just doing so because they want to try and maximize fun for everyone, they don't really get anything out of it beyond that. Unless you're getting bribed by Daybreak to shill bad survival games, I mean. Like my getting kicked from Goonswarm over how I chose to lead things in ArcheAge was kind of silly, but it highlights the serious mental derangement of some of the people who play EVE, I guess.

evilweasel posted:Endie was in charge of the GIA at some point, and at other points had no official role was basically an advisor. Other people took over the GIA, so he no longer had a specific job, so it wasn't like he was doing a bad job - he wasn't doing any job. I think he was offered CD repeatedly and turned it down, and turned down other things to do. But while we used to have a lot of people who were just around for advice or good-old-boys club, that's been changed - you have to actually be active and do something to stay in leadership channels. If you're not, then it's no hard feelings: people get bored or burnt out all the time. There's like no directors I can think of who were fired for being incompetent (the only one who got fired for loving something up got back in because he's actually great and learned from it, and that's a really great quality to be able to take a fuckup like that and learn from it), it's almost always just that they're no longer really doing anything. Based on that I don't really see a reason for any drama, except maybe if people were upset that endie left for PL. Endie posted:I did some spying stuff, some diplomacy and stuff. A lot of what I did was kinda just talking to people: I was allowed to just go and speak to people in a way that would have got most people in trouble for demarcation, and occasionally that got us some good results. I guess based on what both parties have said I don't see much reason for ill will on either side, seemed like you wanted to go do another thing which is fine and good so you did and seems like most goons are grateful for the work you did while in goonswarm so everything should be good?

You can also blame DBRB for sitting in IRC trying to constantly drum up these little retarded rebellions with his circlejerk of players only to have them be constantly heckled and derided by normal people with actual common sense. That and his literal sabotage in the guild starting from day one, which backfired because DBRB may be a hero in EVE, but he's just a sperg everywhere else.

almighty posted:I too can't wrap my mind around the fact that ISRAD still keeps an obvious pedophile amongst their ranks. And the part that still infuriates me is that BFM is a US citizen, and he should have been prosecuted for the poo poo he pulled. And no, "Icelandic age of consent" doesn't mean jackshit. Federal law prohibits an American citizen or resident to travel to a foreign country with intent to engage in any form of sexual conduct with a minor (defined as persons under 18 years of age). BFM was in his early 20s when this thing happened, and the 'girl' was either 14 or 15. Probably the same reason it took a blowup years later in a completely unrelated game for him to get banned off of SA. The first I had ever heard of BFM was when SCT tried to hide the fact he tried to gently caress a child and it all sounded so insane to me I thought it was an imp zone troll at first. Just a really really bad problem with not following up I guess. to my knowledge BFM's posts were hellburned off the offsite even for fear of legal reprisal.

Siets posted:I really want the next CSM to just hammer on CCP about nullsec rewards. There are so many risk-averse pubbies that are content to just mill about in highsec making their blue collar dollar, but in my head I picture CCP dramatically buffing all things nullsec income and creating an 1800's California Gold Rush where suddenly everyone wants a piece of the pie. The irony of this statement is that right after Dominion, nullsec was in a really good place because anomaly spawns were simply tied to ratting indexes and ihub upgrades, not truesec. Then they made anomoly spawning directly tied to truesec, and a lot of nullsec space became poo poo again. This also cut the legs out from any smaller alliances (back when those were allowed to exist) that had access to some space, even if it wasn't "good" space.

Reverand maynard posted:We either need citadels for it to work, fix the map, or an incentive for all the lowsec pvp groups to move to null. It still won't work, regardless of that, because for many that live in lowsec, isk generation isn't their chief concern, PVP is. And no matter what you do, nullsec cannot duplicate the PVP rules of lowsec. Lowsec entities also project enough power to eliminate any viceroy entities they want currently (looking at you pred elite) and can overtake citadels and anything else in the area, before dissapearing, forcing null groups to constantly come to lowsec and then not get any content whatsoever. And you can't take a station in lowsec and can't rape cage a system, so there really isn't anything you can do if we/they don't want to fight.

dialhforhero posted:So what really IS the reason that bubbles/bombs/etc. can't be used in Low-sec? I guess I don't see any strong reason that can't be debunked by NPC-null or straight null as it is. I mean, jesus I can only imagine how different low sec would be if you could. You've never been able to because lowsec was originally designed to be a mechanical stepping stone between high and null, but it has different rules, which encourages a completely different style of play and fighting. The use of HG slave pods as a norm in fits is just one of these things, but fights tend to be fought in point range in a lot of cases, and the use of blap dreads and other caps for hit and run and tactical benefit is widespread. Fleets typically have a much heavier emphasis on support ships in doctrines as well. I've spent years FCing in both null and lowsec, and for these and other reasons, I find lowsec to be far more fun in terms of the fluidity of engagements and the flexibility in fitting. Also supers can be used a lot more frequently and brazenly, as (right now) only a scripted HIC can hold you down and it takes multiple per super. What Hollow Talk said about our willingness to work together to push any null entity out is also true. I FC in Shadow Cartel, and Shadow Cartel and Snuff just finished a bitter war, but we will NIP and blue up in a heartbeat if threatened by any outside entity. We have our spheres and regions of influence and firmly entrenched political and economic holds in lowsec, and will fight and die to defend it, and since we fight where we live, we can sustain a war without fatigue far, far longer than any invading nullsec power. DHSJ and Pred's other friends are being hellburned now due in no small part to his bending the knee to the CFC, and allowing an outside entity to attempt to influence our political system. We're not diametrically opposed to the cfc or any nullsec entity since we don't share the same goals of spheres of influence, and the way I see it, goons and the cfc can rule all of null, but stay the gently caress out of my yard. Lowsec is the last vestige of true nomadic, violent PVP and shifting allegiances and nomadic warfare, and I'd like to keep it that way. As a goon I'm happy to see the massive success of GSF and the content it provides people, but I don't want my kind of warfare and my kind of fights to be taken away in low. And I certainly don't want to be influenced by null politics. Kimsemus fucked around with this message at 04:47 on Jan 29, 2016 |

Hollow Talk posted:So how exactly does this "fighting nullsec" thing work if you regularly and reliably batphone both PL and NC at the same time? Do they somehow not count as nullsec entities anymore or is it just that you are too weak individually without these specific nullsec entities? In fact, "shifting allegiances" seems to mean "whoever we can batphone to make sure we can win this fight against whoever we are fighting", which in regards to the "Lowsec Voltron" either suggests that none of the regular intra-lowsec fights actually matter or that you have a severe case of communal amnesia that lets you put aside your no doubt substantial, important and overall very real differences if somebody threatens "your playstyle" (which, in translation, simply means your dominion over everybody even weaker). In all the time I've been there, SC has never batphoned NC or PL. PL has shown up during fights, and most of the time they perish (Or we simply don't engage them). I'm sure other lowsec entities probably have at some point. There are absolutely weaker entities who will if they can, but in my time there, Snuff/Tissue and SC hasn't called upon a nullsec entitiy to interfere with our war, but I can say as bitter as the last one was, we immediately went to batphoning each other against cfc fleets. If that is what you mean by communal amnesia, we've demonstrated it more than once. Ego aside, you couldn't reliably invade us any more than we can invade anywhere in nullsec. Co2 and other alliances have tried, consistently, to either third party fleets or have been batphoned by pred and others, and also consistently just get blue balled. https://zkillboard.com/br/68355/ Is a good example of Did He Say Jump batphoning elements of the CFC, dying anyway before the null fleet got there, and us just docking up waiting for the null fleet to leave before we took their tower anyway. I'm not saying that happens every time, but that is what happens, and will happen, most of the time. As for the intra-lowsec fights not mattering, the last major war we had, we shifted some hundred or so money moons between four alliances in a war, it very much mattered. We lost a bunch of moons in one region, took a bunch in another one, and that's more or less how our ghetto sov shifted. You just don't see it on an influence map. The nomadic part comes in where, like now, we're in the Bleak Lands making GBS threads on DHSJ for someone else, and now we're leaving to go fight another group. I hope that clears it up, just my perspective. CainFortea posted:The difference here is that we don't dress it up as some kind of ~~elite pvp~~ bullshit. I really don't think I did that at all. Even though statements along the lines of "well we could take your poo poo if we wanted to" that other people have made are loving retarded. I'm not discounting the power the cfc wields, and I'm not saying we're somehow better or more honorable or other stupid poo poo like that, I'm simply saying that lowsec is a different way of playing the game and I don't want to see it homogenized with null.
