I gotta say I'm not sure I like the modern sanitized War Room. Major op threads without 2 pages of Epsilon concern trolling just aren't entertaining to read.

it's not really sanitized, if you want proof go look at the thread where we announced our own renter system. It's just not really much of a forums community anymore, it's all shifted to jabber.

Yeah I'm going to be that guy that speaks dissent at this moment. But the primary movers in Co2 have always had a culture unto themselves, the two most likely alliances to break that would keep their memberships fairly intact are them and init. The expectation that they'd shatter like most CFC alliances when leadership made the break was simply unrealistic.

This is unlike lawn/sma/bastion etc who's culture can basically summed up by one of those catfish you buy for your fishtank, all they do is suck garbage off the walls all day.

which is basically the opposite of most goon guilds in games now

In themepark mmo's you are ALMOST correct, because almost 15 years of constant MMO development fighting "Griefer" behavior has really put a damper on things. Yet I guarantee you there is a GW2 and STO thread right now whining about goons on their official forums. In pretty much every sandbox game/mmo we are pretty awful to the people we encounter.

In ark we locked down a whole server, when we got bored we sent roving wolfpacks from server to server, not to assert dominance but to simply break whatever the "Alpha group" of that server was, then gently caress off. Our methods were often "Dishonorable". We made pubbies pay is tribute to not burn their poo poo down.

In black desert goons have found all sorts of fun ways to gently caress with pubbies. Lets just say a lot of people have been drowning lately and leave it at that.

Sion's been the number 2 man in the background for a LONG time. No one knew who the gently caress he was outside of ilum/diplos till he started posting really cringy poo poo to tmc.com. I can't help but feel making him one of our public figures was a giant mistake, he's very good at being "Man behind the power" but his personality is far to dry to throw him out front.

I mean I enjoyed all of his diplomacy talks at various venues, but I still couldn't shake the feeling that I was being lectured too by an accounting major.

Tone and delivery can really change perception. Jersey Johnson could have written the same articles Sion has in his own language and with his particular sense of humor and gotten a radically different response.

Media and Diplomacy are entirely different animals, it pays to be a bit dry when dealing with theoretical professionals on the other side, because you lay down a string of facts, or creative lies in a no nonsense matter and get results. Media is all about zeitgeist, perception, feelings, you aren't influencing an individual who can be at least pushed into being a rational actor, you are influencing a mob.

NPC stations are easy as gently caress to live in. Literally the only niggles are cloning services and logistics. The only thing sov stations really do for you is give you a convenient docking point for your ratting boats.

FTFY

EDIT: Italics

Baki Yuki and sion have nothing in common, their space jobs don't line up, and if you take at face value that both were doing harm to their respective groups, they are doing it in entirely different ways. The key to successful concern trolling is to warp the actual facts as they stand to suit your purposes. The problem here is you apparently don't even know what baki yuki did to be reviled, nor what sion is doing right now. Sions issue's all stem from public perception, what you should do is warp his "Community speach" to make it sound like he said "There is no community" then say "Remember when someone said there is no goons :tinfoil:" then call him the rebirth of sirmolle only less fun to talk to.

But it's too late for that now. You flubbed it.

As GSF's Blackops guys proved time and time again before any invasion of sov, they could shut down entire regions for weeks. I saw a map of Delve pre the war that got HBC started and kicked TEST off our couch, and it was completely barren of ratting and roaming, due to Blackops' presence in NPC Delve.

Blackops was in fountain, it was Topgoon, bokops and pizza making GBS threads up Delve.

EDIT: If we're talking 2013. Previous to that it was almost certainly blops.

If we take a fall? Oh well. Can't be on top forever. But the coalition of the billing isn't a real coalition. They won't hold together once it is all done.
