I didn't realise there was a second thread that was very chill! Hello friends.


I think if I continue to have as much fun during all the days of the trial I play then I will buy month after wards!

I really have been gifted an absolute ton of ISK. It's really made my heart warm with all the kindness shown my way!

And I too am glad the war got me to try the game. I wanted to understand the reports better and get what was going on. Now I understand and now I know which reports for the thread have substance and which do not. It's been a wonderful week!

I see lots of reports through the games forums (games, PGS and mmo-hmo) and the vast majority I feel are not worthy of being acted upon in terms of how I feel the forum should be run.

The BFM report was awesome for me, because as a thread you guys sorted it out yourselves, which is what I posted (and would hope from most users) and got me to both post in the thread, then play the game.

Really, as a forum I think our rule systems are much more chill than the past and it takes quite a bit for us to meter out the harsh punishments.

yeah, in 2008 when I joined it was probably pretty easy to get probated, so I stayed well within the lines and never posted like I wanted

when Kewpuh really started as mod I think it loosened up a lot, and you guys kind of have kept that trend up

Kewpuh was a really great mod and the first thing he said to me was "remember that the forum is for the posters" which is absolutely true. I don't own Games and I don't want to limit discourse. I just want to be there in case someone needs to remember to be a bit nicer or take some time out.

Apologies for not having been around much this weekend but everything people are saying about RVCMF is true. The Corp is newbie not the players. You can be anyone at all and have a place in the Corp as a superfly. Mine, chat, chill. That's the idea behind it! :)

Also I did debate whether or not to show my bulletins with the thread but I am ok with them leaking out instead. It's fun to pretend to be a boss :3:

Just some pretty lights.




A Sleeper drone, just doing its thing.




A flock of Sleepers.




Weird Sleeper-structure.




I can't remember seeing screenshots of this thing, it's apparently a Sleeper battleship.




Better view of the Sleeper-battleship.

If I wanted to check the prices of things is there a neat website that lists all regions? I'm going to expand my fleet (two mining ships to add! :D I also think I have the skills for interceptors now as well) and I have no idea where the best place to buy them is.

VG you need to make another character on that account and anchor it in GSF, API wise, so that people can link you poo poo on wiki.goonfleet.com because there's a wealth of stuff you'd wanna read there.
Not just mechanics of eve type stuff but, from person experience, countless tens of hours of history and who's who poo poo on there.

That might be a very good idea actually. I would love to read things. I wouldn't know the first thing about apis and such though.


Also thank you very much Lack of Gravitas and Oodles. :). I am going to get the Ventures big brothers. I forget their names though.

Not to backseat mod or anything, but Elsa called him out with a passive aggressive backhanded insult in this here thread thread. If this thread is indeed going to be chill no sperg zone then posting snipey stuff in it shouldn't be allowed, and it certainly shouldn't be the person responding to the snipey stuff that catches the probate.

EDIT: This is not to say Pooki is a swell guy without anger issues our anything :v:

Namaste or something.

It's not backseat modding. I went via the report and the thread title. I didn't stop to look at the post concerning the blowup. I have put in a day for you as well Rain. It is only fair. If you're going to do that kind of post then please not in the chill thread.

So basically gently caress me because im j4g and I think fearless leader is a bit of a prick.

I haven't played this game since uh 2006 looking at my poo poo. But apparently old me knew how to play the game though I am drat sure I could pilot a hound back then it looks like poo poo has changed(while new me is retarded and just reallocated a 30k of skill points randomly)
It looks like im a few days away from getting back in my covert ops frigate. I can pilot cruisers with the option of teching into battleships. I can do "stuff" or I used to be able to do "stuff" but me 10 years ago was also a lot more interested in doing "stuff" and me now doesn't remember how to play loneliness simulator 3016.

I remember having vague ideas of grandeur of either piloting a near invisible missile boat and blowing poo poo up, or playing as a target painter so that the missile boats could do the same. Someone point me in the right direction.

On a side note I'm here to have fun, not dwarf fortress style fun, because when that's what im looking for I play dwarf fortress. I want to feel like my contributions to xxx are somewhat meaningful to the playscape even though I don't even know what that is, and in all honesty I fully expect to quit this poo poo once my IRL life takes a turn for the better. I'm sure I don't fit it any master plans but I still want to gently caress some poo poo up.

Basically I'm the last person anyone wants to deal with, and since I've done this j4g poo poo before I poo poo on your karma crap. I'm not likely to stick around. I'm not here to make long lasting friendships, I don't care what about "politics", I just want to blow some poo poo up and listen to some nerds talk about how cool it was over VOIP, while avoiding whining and backstabery about how the "commander' is an undervalued asset.

Wow.

So yesterday was my first day in Goonwaffe. I thought I had a basic idea how to play Eve but I was quickly proved wrong as mechanics from 0.0 that I was not used to became confounding. I had to learn how to do everything all over again it felt and as I finished reading my 16th wall of text post I realised poo poo is hard.

I cried for help in little bees and someone told me to jump on mumble and all these people gathered around to help me move down, even giving me isk to help. Then they took me out ratting and babysat me the whole way.

Then, after all that, I got to go out on a fleet. We killed a stabber who was shooting me and another ship I forget the name of and they had me in half structure but I lived. I was shaking.

I feel pretty happy about the whole thing. Goons is a good place to be for a new player.

This sounds exciting! To think this awaits me in the future :D
