Unfunny Poster posted:I thought he tried to get a real money fund started on Goonfleet for his "sick wife" and then just turned into PLEX to gamble on IWI? apparently his wife actually was sick, but he probably gambled away the money from that gofundme as well - in all fairness though, it seems it was eve-bet rather than IWI. Still a hosed-up story.

Landsknecht posted:IMO the best outcome for ccp would be to go to the IWI guys and offer to buy back all their isk at something like $2USD/bil While it's debatable if the current gaming sites violate the law doing that would certainly violate the law.

Eminai posted:Not only would that violate the law, but doing that would also open up a lot of normal EVE activity (like suicide ganking) to prosecution, as it would establish ISK (and therefore everything in EVE) as something that has an actual dollar value. That's not true, because the rules of a game can allow you to do things that would generally be illegal if you consent to them by playing the game. If you tackled someone in a way that's legal in football outside a football game that'd be illegal, but it's not when playing a football game. You'd have one hell of a problem filing your taxes though if the $2/billion was open to everyone.

Landsknecht posted:wouldn't there be some kind of workaround? like how pachinko parlors in Japan use prizes which are bought back next-door? Gambling laws in the US are written very broadly specifically to avoid these sort of workarounds (which is why they're so broad eve gambling sites are arguably illegal). Landsknecht posted:it would be an interesting proposition? couldn't you file it as freelance/non-regular income? If isk can be redeemed for cash at a defined exchange rate receiving the isk is almost certainly the taxable event under US law, so you would need to declare and pay taxes on your in-game income even before you converted it. The IRS is also not fond of workarounds so they define stuff very broadly as well.

you know, i was pretty restrained yesterday when we found out that someone overruled team security to unban IWI bankers who had been involved in rmt, but uh, this is a little too obvious

cravius posted: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

cravius posted:How would they do that? Give him the actual corp? 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

cravius posted:Do you really want to argue that the Imperium and GSF are in any way distinct in The Mirttanis mind at this point? 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

Trevorrrrrrrrrrrrr posted:I'm just coming back after two years, why was the CFC renamed Imperium? I've never heard the actual reason for that 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

cravius posted:When "my people" became FCON and SMA. fcon and sma have been part of why gsf was so powerful for so many years, regardless of what you think of them, and part and parcel of doing what's best for gsf has been treating allies well and working in their interests as well

avatarinwin posted:lol if goonfleet can be transferred to some guy who hasn't been in it for 6 years but The Conference Elite (code. 's main corp) was literally singled out and blatantly told that "we will never do this for you, and will close all tickets without response," even though there are active directors in said corp. Did anyone ever find out why loyalanon got banned?

He kept making fun of the eve player who committed a murder-suicide in front of the community the guy played with, and said anti-gankers are prone to murder-suicides because of that guy. well, not much to argue on that one

Glory of Arioch posted:war update: deklein is fully under enemy control, our home region for the last 6 years phorde is so bad that i won two tcu timers this morning and killed a kestrel i do not believe i have gotten a pvp kill since early 2014 and that one i was using a curse heavy neut ship which is mostly a useless gimmick to annoy people and did no damage actually, i did get like 3t of kills in br- but idk when that was, that sort of doesn't count since hitting "fire" every 5m while i am locked into a multi-hour siege cycle is not exactly pvp skill
