I didnt know zulusquad was still a thing

Is it still full of bitters talking about anime and 4chan memes?

It's mostly pitts spamming twitter links and frank being in denial about trump's pivoting.

That's what makes me think people who say they want "big set-piece battles" back are crazy. Those always turn into boring tidi slogs.

ISRAD tends to be the exception to everything above. Their recruitment would as far I saw be Eve based with Eve based follow up questions. Then penif no-nonsense commissaring people for smugging or such.

That distinction is sort of part of the problem. Horde are second class citizens. And yes when some PL guy mistreats a horde member. Grath shows up like batman and then both are gone the next moment. Between that there's a lot of "You don't have to interact with horde if you don't want to" A lot of emphasis is put on that PL members don't have to deal with or interact with horde. As opposed to "Get out there and teach them to Eve"

I can't help but draw comparisons to karmafleet where any day 1 snoobie stands on equal footing with a five year Waffe member.

Well I don't like it. To me there are two groups to Eve. "Us" and "them". You take care of your own and treat them with respect. "Them" you destroy if you have the time. Mock them if you're busy. The PL recruitment forum is this bizarre middle ground where "us" and "them" mingle and some of "them" become us. Except first they're treated as "them" for a week or two. It's like goon recruitment scamming except every now and then the victim is recruited as well. Again this is about how things "feel" for me. I'm sure the whole proccess makes 100% sense from an inside frathouse point of view.

NCdot is the last one I had in mind. I meant allies like test, CO2. The whole MBC. This whole middle area where people are allies for one fleet and then targets an hour later. Where NCdot are allies of PL and horde are allies of PL but NCdot camp horde ratters and trash talk horde in local and no one in PL tells them to stop with proper threats of violence. This whole slap & tickle triangle of vague alliances and no commitment.

The imperium had some pretty terrible allies but we took care of our allies because that was our responsibility. All the way until they betrayed us. Then we worked around them to take care of the other allies.

You're doing that thing you did with theta again, but with not-theta this time.

Ones you can easily get :P

Basically, other than one-time events/offers (Quafe skins) or old skins that were grandfathered into the system (Innerzone, Police, etc), the only consistently available skin for all Gallente ships was Valimor Legacy -- which was "more green." And then they got ashamed of Valimor Legacy and took it off the NEX store, which meant that some Gallente ships had no skins available for purchase.

Contrast with Amarr, where nearly every single Amarr ship in the game has a minimum of 2-3 skins available in the NEX market, and the Omen has literally 10 skins. Hell, even the Abaddon has 8 skins, and when's the last time you saw that piece of poo poo hull in space?

They need to release the incursus and thorax skins so I can add them to my list.

IDK how you expect to pay any dues when you are constitutionally incapable of taking even the smallest piece of advice from the people who don't hate you.

But on the bright side you can make a new friend. Someone who just pulled the same move you did! You two can have nice chats about how dumping drama into the public eye is a great way to get what you want.

there was a string of posts when you first came back that weren't that bad and I was like oh hey maybe mandozer has gotten a little older and chilled out a bit that's good to see but this meltdown is loving hilarious you even have deadtear jumping in to triage your feels.

If you weren't a gibbering loving idiot your "I'm not mad, I actually think it's funny" gambit might work better.

Well the extra time to dogpile is because the rest of the game universe can move faster than the area with the big fleets. Just lock the whole cluster to whatever the lowest tidi % node is at all times. :shepface:
