No you're ~The Imperium~ now, new logo and all. I'm pretty sure you willfully gave that claim up.

uh no

imperium is the replacement name for the coalition to replace cfc (both of which are not in-game entities), we're still goonswarm and that name hasn't changed and won't change except to the extent we were required to by game mechanics

that's actually worse and dumber than name changing, the only way they can do this without it having crazy backlash is changing mechanics/policy to allow all stasised names to be reclaimed, and even then whats the definition of dead or in stasis corps because I can log in and do stuff in goonfleet

no idea, maybe his next idea will be rename goonfleet something less obviously hosed than "OldGoonfleet" or force-close the old corp

both are stupid loving ideas but so was this one, so maybe he'll stick his dick in that beehive again

Is that too high? I don't even know what is right. I had it at 1% but I'm not really sure what to make it.

Makes it easier to market in various ways, like Daybreak paying your group to play their game/promote it, or a Kickstarter book etc.

Why they couldn't come up with a new acronym using CFC is beyond me.

of course they are

the reality of eve is that we're great but we can't do it alone and need allies who want their own identity and they will get insulted if we name them goons

the whole reason we've been able to have an effective coalition for so long is we don't treat our allies like poo poo, and respect things like whatever their name is and such

well there's advice and then there's "me and my friends would get to gently caress the poo poo out of whatever rear end in a top hat corp wardecced you"

Having the word "gently caress" in your name doesn't scan well in articles. Also a bunch of pubbies in the coalition really like that hurfy poo poo. Gotta say that the imperium eagle with different alliance crests on the shield is a really good choice.

Over Reaction Coalition would have been best.

Dunno, I was in GoonFleet since 2006 and I'm not attached to the name. I've always maintained it should have been goon squad. Does goon fleet have any fun references to the princess bride? Does it gently caress.

Goon fleet is garbage and should be left in the garbage.

i mean, theres the reddit conspiracy theories, but the basic reason is that mittens didn't really like the name and had picked it around the same time someone thought SOLODRAKBANSO[LODRA] was a great alliance name and the joke had kinda gotten old, and wanted something that he liked

i agreed with the change, and i've never really seen much of an upswell of dislike inside gsf or the coalition, more among the r/eve types
