Endie posted:The last few pages of this thread is pretty much a series of the following exchanges: On reddit some idiot posted a "Name one thing TEST leadership has done that was as awful as *insert random thing a gsf member did*". It was a good day for me because I have a memory longer than a goldfish and pointed out that when Mittens had his little "Lol and harass this guy till he kills himself" moment at Fanfest, Durrhurrdurr went out of his way to harass the guy and publicize the harassment. Naturally this caused goalposts to shift to "Name something one of our leaders have done in the last five minutes."

FruitNYogurtParfait posted:the sky being a slightly different shade of blue throughout the day winds up grath dude This went a bit beyond that. Way way back in 2012ish PL and Topgoon were making GBS threads on the same region around Christmas time, they had some Christmas coms thing going on where they'd invite random people on their coms (In a bit of coincidence we were using an open private mumble server to make pubbies sing to us, but that's a digression), so a good chunk of Topgoon hopped on PL coms and got to listen to low grade attempts to troll us, and high grade successes of Jeff winding Grath the gently caress up. All in all it was entertaining.

gwrtheyrn posted:I'm shocked you didn't just get banned instead Pointing out the emperor had no clothes actually got me a little Karma, the biggest problem I have with r/eve is the big fat institutional blinders they wear. I remember the 2010 Fountain Invasion and 3 hours of straight misogynistic garbage flowing out of coms as Durrhurrdurr and DBRB chain harassed some girl who dared sound black and female on the internet. It wasn't the last time I've quit coms in disgust, but it is absolutely the most uncomfortable thing I've ever had the pleasure of listening to in this big stupid game. I still don't go on boat fleets some six years later because of my general distaste over that. Durr is the biggest "Me Too" on the internet, he throws himself full body in front of whatever the zeitgeist of the moment is, and attempts to "Out Do" whatever awful thing is happening at the time. Right now the zeitgeist says that "All that poo poo Was Bad" which I don't disagree with, but he doesn't get to rewrite history with him in the position of "Sterling Knight of The People" because he condoned and joined in on lovely behavior when it was available for him to do so and it seemed like a "Popular thing to do at the time."

Unfunny Poster posted:Sounds more like the Delimiter dudes are stupid than anything. That's just farting in the wind. Most colo's and webhosts are setup the same stupid way, source: Me I've worked for a few and since worked with a few. If someone jacked their IP they'd know it immediately because shocker: TEST's mumble server would start dropping every few seconds during that entire period. Also creating a separate vlan for every vps/colo would be a giant pain in the dick and a management nightmare which breaks the cardinal rule of webhosting "Keep this poo poo as simple, cheap, and hands off as possible because our sysadmin turnover is so high that we need it to be managed by half trained dullards." More than likely what happened is the dumb idiots let a botnet loose on their own server and welp. poo poo happened.

I grew up relatively poor so in grade school I helped out in the cafeteria as part of a free lunch program. The honey that was served with chicken nuggets came in a giant can with "USDA Grade C" stamped on the side, the cheese came wrapped in wax paper with USDA writing on it, etc. This was early-mid 80s Cheese isn't supposed to be a neutral odor, the best tasting ones usually stink a bit.

Basically anyone in a nullsec leadership position is a fuckwit who get super mad about space tribalism and like to painstakingly and hypocritically point out the flaws in others that they themselves share while having the same sense of self reflection that let's my cat lick it's own butthole for hours on end then get snobby about the kind of food I bought.

evilweasel posted:i know you're being an idiot but you've blundered into your correct answer of the day: too much is going on in eve to do the same thing as everyone else is. Most people are directors because they like a specific area and do a lot in that specific area, so you can be somewhat blinkered. For example I wasn't great about making ratting space a priority initially this war because I haven't ratted or really needed to worry about isk in a long time, so it doesn't have the sort of emphasis in my mind that makes me remember it's actually important. There's things I know intellectually are important, but because they're not important to me they're easy to forget. I'm going to be the guy throwing poop against the wall a little bit here, but imo our leadership has been disconnected since 2013, and it's being seen in the number of defections. Like it or not the fact that the ex-mouthpiece of our organization is vehemently against what we are now is troubling as gently caress to a line goon. Continuing to demonize the likes of him and for that matter kismeteer for gently caress ups real or perceived does a ton of damage to our credibility as an organization. Especially if we take the current situation into view and see much greater mismanagement is directly responsible for the situation we are in. The only reason I'm sticking around is literally because of the friends I have on the inside and that goons as a nullsec power is fundamentally an idea that is important to me. Basically I'm here for GSF. You guys as a whole have a perceptions issue you absolutely must get a handle on, and that's going to require some real talk and not a hurfy fireside chat.

Sorry but the kimesemus ownzone of daberb was outstanding. The fact that this idiot was allowed to blacklist people over him getting kicked out of a goon guild in another game is stupid as gently caress and any roles he had that aren't required for FC work should be pulled. It's like we keep making the same mistakes over and over again and are shocked when the results remain stupid. Maybe we should go ahead and give mandozer another in as well.

He literally has no clue how much "A lot of money" is to something like GSF. Sure, a half a tril isn't pocket change, but it's not a "Welp just loving disband because we're broke" amount either. We've got individual members that could bankroll more infrastructure than that. I seem to remember aryth breaking a trillion like 4 years ago. God knows what he's at now.

Sin and stratios do similar DPS, stratios is omnitanked, sin is tanked vs rats so probably had a giant explosive hole OR em hole depending on if he shield/armor tanked it. Even if the sin was omnitanked whoever thought to shoot the other guys drones first would win.

I for one think it's hilarious that all of these people had deep seated concerns about the alliances direction, but stuck it out until times got tough them mysteriously their scruples appeared. Meanwhile I took the exact opposite tack: I was thinking about leaving because of my deep seated concerns about the alliances direction, but then goings got tough and I decided to re-invest in hopes that it would be a catalyst for some changes.

Zephyrine posted:Theta is sort of a tricky bunch in that regard. They highlight everything that was wrong with the coalition. A whole group dedicated to ratting. Meanwhile internally they unironically viewed themselves as the stonecutters from The Simpson. Are we talking about the same theta that runs a JF service to a station in Fade (Thanks guys!) and has been stocking it with ahacs and has been active in the region for over a month now, oh and between them and blops consist of 90% of the active entosis people working the region? That Theta? You do realize that in order to keep a "Finger on the pulse" it has to come out of your own sphincter right? EDIT: An active squad of people that back eachother up even when doing stupid poo poo like ratting is about the only thing that I'm 100% fine with in the coalition. What the hell is wrong with you? It goes right back to what P7hk9 said: You can't be arsed to be involved with these people at any level, yet feel the need to comment on what they are doing despite not actually knowing what they are doing.

CommonShore posted:One of the final ideas I had for Topgoon before Soth managed to get it gassed was as a zero-organization no-FCs squad which essentially had a few recommended fits and a deployment area as a playground in which almost anything goes and people get smashed down for trying to build little cults of personality. I guess it would be like a homeland defense standing fleet, except in someone else's space. I'm going to chime in on this because I'm still super salty about it all. We actually did that when I moved us into providence and it was fairly good. But more on Topgoon because it's my favorite topic to be really angry about. Topgoon was fine doing what it was doing before Theadj gutted it, and then atrophied it by sending us to garbage regions. The only thing topgoon needed was more than one person who counted as adult supervision. Treph to a degree, but mostly Sothrasil and Guuldan were completely incapable of just having fun and killing nerds without doing something completely retarded, and getting in dick measuring contests with directors/FC's and generally causing hell. Someone absolutely had to be there to watch them like hawks. Guuldan literally had blackops drop on him because he was loving with their camp and I had to pause a movie I was watching with my girlfriend to deal with that. That's loving ridiculous. Despite these awful loving people being the cause of 100% of my problems, Theadj laid the blame squarly on Trephs head (Mind you he had been gone for two weeks because he just had another hellspawn) and would not let me get rid of these loving misfits. You want cult of personality bullshit? Soth is your loving man. That dude literally spent 3 hours crowing about how he had the keys to the FC channels and no one else did, because he was ~special~, he even had this long spiel about how he was more important than I was because he had those keys. Not realizing that Theadj had passed me those selfsame keys long before, amongst other things, but to me it was just a tool in my bag should I need it, not some ~thing~ to be lorded over my fellow pilots.
