Hey Dear Leader Eonwe mittens wants you to join goons in the old thread, but I assume he means H1Z1 goonswarm, since you know thats what he gets bribed to get goons to play.

Endie posted:like that bit in lord of the rings where the orc dudes are like "looks like meat's back on the menu, boys" and you wonder what opportunities orcs really have to order from a menu. I picture even a finger buffet as a bit far-fetched. It's like the scene from the Empire Strikes Back where the rebel ships are trying to run the Imperial Blockade and the Imperial captain is like "Good, our first catch of the day" and you're wondering when he has ever fished or why fishing would be a thing in the Empire or why that phrase is being used at all.

Endie posted:We never see any actual genocide though, do we? War involves attack as well as defence but nobody says Churchill raised an army to commit genocide when he tried to defend *his* little patch of homeland. There's an old history adage - "History is written by the victors." It's not genocide if you win. Sort of like in EVE, like with all the betrayal and political intrigue goons did against BoB and such, Goons won at the end of the day so they get to write the narrative, it would have been different if "Well goons did all this meta poo poo to try and gently caress is and they still lost, how terrible are they." War and conflict plays out far different in the court of public opinion when casus belli is on your side. I learned that from playing EU4

Endie posted:I think its sometimes genocide even if you win. Like Arthur"Bomber" Harris. There is some serious shuffling of feet when his name crops up. Never heard of him, tell me more? Most applicable example I can think of is the "Indian Wars" after the Civil War, which was pretty much mass genocide no matter how you try to argue it, but the US "won" and manifest destiny, etc etc.

god drat you have to admit the citadels look impressive: Endie posted:Head of bomber command in wwii and basically not a huge germanophile. He believed that by means of a strategic bombing offensive* he could bring about victory in Europe. Ah, interesting, from the UK, or American? I mean even with the dropping of the h-bomb...in war I guess the ends justify the means? Don't we use that excuse in EVE constantly against our enemies?

crew posted:The context of the time was the csm running not for last year but the year before. Marlona has always bitched and moaned about force projection which is odd coming from an Ncdot guy but he never spent much time flying with his alliance anyways. I was still writing for TMC when Marlona got dumped, in fact it was Marlona who helped get myself and other non-CFC writer hired at TMC. I seem to remember a pretty systematic narrative being crafted against Marlona, and he was"fired" because he bucked against the editors and the changes they wanted to make to his articles. He was fired because they said he was difficult to work with, and wouldn't respond well to the "changing" culture of TMC. This is what was posted in the bullpen where we all communicated privately. I was also in NCdot with Marlona for his entire time there (and well after) and he was pretty active especially on alts but spent much of his time doing support activities, scanning, scouting, etc, and devoted a lot of time working for TMC, something for a long time he took great pride in. My perspective, since I was there both in alliance with him, and working for TMC and in the bullpen with the editors, is that they wanted to cast him out, so they found a reason to. They kept justsharkbait and I, the two other NCdot writers for the site, because (their words) we were easier to work with and more agreeable, and consistently garnered far higher page views (to be fair, I mostly cherry picked articles I knew would get views, and I was openly critical about ncdot/PL even as a member which the TMC audience liked). I don't know about the log dump, I know it happened well after he was terminated, but I think Marlona had some justification to believe that there was some kind of cabal against him. I'm not saying I believe it, but from his perspective I can see why it was completely plausible. From my perspective, at TMC, you're fairly treated and viewed as a friend and asset, right up to the point where you're not. I was terminated from TMC for the same kind of allegeded reasons as Marlona, but it's no coincidence it was at the same time I was also kicked from goonswarm. Marlona after being kicked from TMC generally become kind of a piece of poo poo though, both in alliance and in private, saying I should quit too and I was a traitor for not walking out after he got fired. His perspective on issues became very skewed and he had a massive axe to grind after that point. Basically, having been there before and after personally, the whole affair caused him to go kind of off the deep end. Kimsemus fucked around with this message at 18:39 on Jan 28, 2016 |

Unfunny Poster posted:First time was him posting logs from TMC's general chat channel. Because of how some people had their stuff setup (mostly using Adium) the logs had their IRL names due to the login info being like Fix_Lag@JohnDoesMac.com or whatever, so it had their IRL names. The same sort of thing also was how a few people's IRL email addresses were also included in those logs. My full name is in my email in those logs, it was pretty funny tbh. And by funny I mean awkward and annoying.

Unfunny Poster posted:He got fired because he was a manchild who couldn't handle people editing his writing, constantly stirred up poo poo, and the final nail was when he misattributed a quote by Travis Musgrat saying "get lynched" (something you don't really want to do on a news site) in a piece that he admitted to making up quotes for. Yeah, I remember the "get lynched" thing now that you say it. I never said he got kicked for being in NCdot or not being affiliated with GSF or anything. I'm not even questioning the merits of why he got kicked as I felt like we basically told the same story. I distinctly remember it was editing disagreements as the catalyst for his removal, I just felt like he had ALWAYS been like this, and it was simply tolerated until people felt like it shouldn't be anymore, which coincided with a change in leadership structure at TMC and editorial staff. What I questioned though, was what was said at the time of his termination, and the systemic poo poo flinging that occured afterwards against him, because I really do feel like for awhile he made good contributions to the site.

Unfunny Poster posted:Yeah pretty much. It was also funny given that he tried to spin it as a "NCdot are being forced out" when it really was just him being a shithead who no one felt like dealing with anymore. Especially didn't make sense since you still had ohtakashawa from PL still writing for TMC, and an NCdot director (me) and recruiter (justsharkbait) writing for TMC as well.

Berious posted:I was at B-R. For me putting elite pvp in their place was as satisfying as killing Band of Brothers. Literally for months they'd been sperging on Kugu about how they own at supers and once they catch goons with their pants down we're done. Then we get pretty equal numbers and just obliterate them. Even better we won in no small part because the elite pvpers made a bunch of bad calls, like at first focusing on killing dreadnaughts and when the finally switched to titans going for one that would obviously be supertanked (in contrast we left Sir Molle's until the mopping up phase). Such a cool battle and a sweet victory. We'll never see it's like again My favorite part of B-R was vince briefing us as we logged in supers that PL were about to get hosed, but that we needed to get hosed with them because we were friends and poo poo. And got hosed we did. Was still a lot of fun though, dying in super super super super super super super super slow motion.

crew posted:Did you really though. I remember PL guys cheerleading in the twitch chat talking about a titan-heavy ustz presence hoping the tide would turn. I very distinctly remember Vince Draken in the NC FC chat explaining how and why we were probably jumping to our dooms, and he wasn't being tongue and cheek about it. I'm pretty sure we knew we were about to get rekt, even if PL didn't want to believe it. You have to remember though it was PL leadership's (manfred) hubris that kicked off the whole thing though.

Khablam posted:"Didn't want those supers anyway" sounds a little revisionist; if you didn't care win/lose the entire political landscape wouldn't have been how it was afterwards. I mean why would you deliberately get your poo poo killed, and then cede all your poo poo, when you could just not get them killed? We definitely wanted to keep our supers. We were pretty salty for months afterward. B-R was definitely an embarrassment and was a mistake on the part of PL/NCdot.

balistafreak posted:Read the replies. Went to go shoot things with my GSF friend ("friend") who fed me all this crap. Turns out he'd been using "oh man I HAVE to go on this GSF thing today/this evening/this weekend" as an excuse to gently caress off and do serious real life things, because for some reason he got the idea that I wouldn't understand him having a life, because for some reason being a functional adult and doing things like job interviews, classes, and going out with girls is something shameful. For more than three years. He didn't want me to join GSF because he got the impression I'd stop the highsec scamming business to "join him" and he liked doing that more than GSF fleets with his EVE time, which I don't doubt. I've missed you balista. You can always come join Shadow Cartel.

Siets posted:I wonder if SP injection will actually see a decline in PLEX prices... It's hard to say, the extractor (The injector can be sold for isk, 500k SP at a time) still requires Aurum, so IDK how that's going to affect the PLEX market, I know Aurum tokens have been rising in price pretty steadily though. PLEX prices are already pretty insane though, I think using Aurum was kind of a piss poor idea. Anything that drives up PLEX prices is bad in my mind.

wfwon posted:Just re-subbed to take a look at how the war is turning out, then realize I moved my carrier to lowsec before I take a break, I guess I will just use subcaps. Level 5's are a REALLY great way to make isk as long as you're willing to put the time into the setup. This usually involves a carrier in every system a mission spawns in and pullers to get the right missions. The LP you get is tied to the agent corporation, I usually cash out 25-50m LP at a time since it's so easy to get so much quickly. Just depends though, as you get virtually no actual ISK for them. Complexing by itself in lowsec can be very profitable too, and I mostly do that in an Astero.

Denis posted:what i've heard from some russian lowsec friends they did lvl 5 in tengus and gilas too. You can but this exponentially increases your chance of dying because of the time it takes to clear the missions, and it dramatically slows down your isk/hour. Headshotting with carriers with a proper setup clears over a bil/hour, in a subcap like a tengu, it would probably be more like 100-200m optimistically. A Vargur can still clear them relatively quickly though with the right setup and clear 300m or more, but you're much more vulnerable. To my knowledge most of the "good" l5 hubs are squarely in the space of larger lowsec entities.

wfwon posted:Given that I don't have enough isk to buy multiple carriers for L5, I guess I will first find quiet L5 systems that won't shoot me when I arrive and grind with a Marauder or something. Also, can any marauders work for L5? I think I can fly Paladin. Golem or Vargur are definitely preferably but a Paladin can do them. I think a Paladin would be faster chaining level 4s over 5s though. Also a lot of NPCs in level 5s will neut pretty hard so be cautious.

Hello friends, do any of you know how to best set up a Citadel for hisec things? I'm fronting the cash for a couple of hisec mining groups to have a thing in hisec....to do, I don't know, their hisec stuff or whatever but I actually don't really know how to fit them to make them feel safe from wardecs whilst refining their space rocks. Medium of course.

I didn't realize Citadel DPS was so anemic. I heard the neuting/ewar options are quite strong though. Seems to me they could do for a rebalance if they're weaker than a manually gunned POS currently, don't you think?
