didnt he have a complete meltdown over losing the fountain war or something


E: to be clear it sucks that he was having problems like that, and i hope he's doing better

it's also funny as poo poo when people have meltdowns over internet spaceships

i think it was his replacement booda that really completely lost it when they lost the war

Baki Yuku talked at length about them during a standby-to-standby formup, so yes absolutely. They won't be worth getting just for that purpose, but if you have one gently caress it use it.

Never understood why GOON hates that guy so much, he's not that bad of a dude, and his sperg is just normal German poo poo.

Baki also managed to bungle up a large null sec financial scheme, I think that one was NOPEC?

he didn't just bungle that, he ran it so poorly it couldn't have shoveled cash from TEST to GSF any better if it tried

we then used that cash to fund the invasion of fountain, which went swimmingly well thanks in part to the GSF altcorp in TEST that Test's altcorp guy, Baki Yuku, had failed to notice for over a year and kept failing to notice even as TEST sbus were vanishing left and right

iirc baki yuku was also the person who told TEST members complaining they hadn't gotten reimbursements in ages (because TEST was broke in no small part thanks to baki yuku) to "stop being poor"

We did have *lots* of discussions about why Goonwaffe was so inactive and so disinterested - participation always low enough that they would be booted if a member corp, while only about 900 of their characters log in in the last month at any given time, even in war - and one of the many ideas we kicked around was that the ceo of waffe be different from the ceo of GSF, and that they be someone who could lavish time on getting an identity and activity back. But I can certainly say that I would hate to be that person.

that idea was literally 'kicked around' only by you, repeatedly

Yeah we were told to go out and start poaching talent from allies and I got carried away and was caught trying to poach some director of SMA when working my way down the killboard top ten. Woops! I would be all "I am the number two person in goonswarm" and some people in TSC were very worked up that there was a formal hierarchy and that you shouldn't tell people you were number two if you were number three and stuff.

Still got a bunch of good people from that though.

iirc the actual reaction of tsc was to roundly mock you because, after all, you had just gotten caught being about as subtle as a xander leak and that was hilarious as gently caress

So is it safe to assume that you guys are trying to coalesce in one place before you start putting up an active resistance? If that's the case, it could be said we are actually helping you by forcing you closer and closer together by "liberating" regions.

I can't speak for other entities or even other people in PL but the faster you guys start shooting back, the better. Even if we lose, I just wanna fight :unsmith:

Do people forget what happened with somer and stuff or does mittens just not care

i mean, the problem you have with this narrative is mittens shared the email privately which is a completely reasonable thing to do

lemba was the one who spread it all over the internet, so if you try to prod ccp into banning someone over it getting out it's much more likely to be lemba that gets in trouble

"hey dont share thing"


"hey i shared a thing with 50 people, one of those people spread it elsewhere"

"ok well we told you not to share thing, but we're ognna punish that guy who shared the shared thing"

uh it makes perfect sense, ccp gets annoyed when you splash their emails all over the internet

ccp got mad at somer, among other things, because after his second rmt thing got busted he posted all their emails publicly

now, i'm sure that mittens comments along with the email won't be viewed all that positively but he didn't smear it all over the internet, lemba did

nobody is going to be banned over it of course, but people who try to get mittens banned over the email being on the internet are being dumb as hell

Translation: if you form a mega-alliance to work around the intended limitations of the system, expect your tactics to be broken by future changes to the mechanics.

capital systems aren't a reward, they were put in because we pointed out that people don't rat and mine in capitals (they're too crowded) so their adms are bad

kismeteer was being dumb in a fleet with tiberizzle and tiberizzle was, well, tiberizzle in his graceful tolerance for stupidity and patient discussion of carefully explaining a very basic task. so kismeteer, in a reasonable and not-at-all whiny child who didn't get their way manner, renamed the ccp station to "CCP-US XII - GoonWaffe Dread Cache Station" and then started iming a bunch of people about how much stuff he could steal resulting in gsol people who have been doing an incredible amount of work already with the war having to drop what they're actually doing and run around and figure out if he did steal anything while his roles were being stripped, secure everything, etc

i'm sure in his mind the fact he didn't ~actually~ steal all that stuff made it all ok but what the gently caress, who throws that sort of snit and stress out people who are already doing too much because tiberizzle was mean to him. like, if you can't deal with people being mean to you, why the gently caress did you volunteer for a tiberizzle op, the nicest tiberizzle ever is to someone is not actually calling them an idiot at that particular moment :v:

i wonder if there's been any actual people who have gambling addictions and have given thousands of dollars to CCP for plex to fund the habit

if someone did some cool investigative journalism it would probably be better than fluff pieces about how CCP is loving up in florida or w/e

There have been, we had to ban a guy out of GSF for his own loving good after we discovered (due to a loan default) he'd gambled away every isk he had, borrowed more, and was spending all his disposable income on plex to gamble more. Might have even been more than his disposible income and he was actually gambling away his rent to try to win loving isk.

I'm seriously starting to think that at this point we might as well stop logging in for a month or two. Let r/eve have their orgy of terrible posting, let PL smug off for the Alliance Tournament, and let them grow complacent thinking we've packed up and headed off for greener pastures. Then in a few months we come back, retake Deklein and the surrounding regions, and go back to skullfucking CO2 and the rest of these shitlers once they are infighting over the spoils of war.

fozziesov makes it virtually effort-free to take away a region not being defended at all, you want to maximize the effort they have to put in while minimizing your own
