Are there still lots of highsec mission runners? It used to be pretty decent if you multiboxed, but it looks like the git repo is dead on the software that was good. Oh right hush hush, gotcha gotcha

Serious question- how does that work when literally anyone can put an alpha clone into KF?

Or is it more like opsec for capswarm stuff?

joining comms gives them a bunch of logged info on you that can be used if you're later put in a position of trust

I'm strictly an outside observer, but the only surprising thing about this is that it took so long. I dunno why CCP thought "suicide bombers motivated mainly by boredom" was a healthy playstyle.

Gwyneth Palpate posted:

IIRC, INN (at the time themittanidotcom) tried to be more impartial, but basically no one believed that it was impartial, no matter how much they tried, so they just abandoned the pretense entirely.

Giving up on that was one of a bunch of mistakes and mismanagement decisions from back then, although it's not a story I know everything about. I don't think anyone is really happy with how it shook out, though. I hope not at least.

Gwyneth Palpate posted:

Honestly, it wasn't. Because it is ours, no one, and I mean NO ONE, will ever believe that we are impartial. Give up on the idea if it ever even enters your brain. The ship has sailed long ago.

Knowing that and trying anyway made it more interesting and more informative. It wasn't, like, great writing, but it was pretty good, and having everyone raging at a flawed decent effort when the alternative was poo poo like evenews24 was a good trick on top of that.

Anyway. Water under the bridge.

drat i can't read that, loving opsec.

You're missing out on the "I sexually identify as soup" joke on the first page though.

Anyhow he likes soup, is a college student, and is pretty poor. People quiz him a bunch about his health, as a setup for fat joke layups, but it's generally pretty good. (I kinda get the feeling that there's Some poo poo in the background and eating consistently is an improvement on his diet before.) He tries to make a throne out of the soup but it's more like a small pile of soup cans taped together. A year and a half later, he's eaten all the soup.

About half a year later, he gets a bunch of soup from Hole Squad Secret Santa, but also he's homeless and doesn't post in that thread any more and I dunno what happened after that.

Two questions:

What was the casino war?

The gradual decline of organized crime and union-backed investment funds in Las Vegas as "straight" corporate and financialized interests slowly took it over. It resulted in a shift away from "nightlife" to more of a resort style to appeal to a broader audience

The gently caress is skillgoo?

If I'm reading this right, you can have an account train a skill, extract that and sell it, and fund multiple accounts with the efficiency?

other way around. skillgoo makes it more practical to buy extracted SP to chase annoying degenerate strategies that require lots of alts. afterward, if the meta changes or you just get bored with that strategy, you can extract the SP from those alts and recoup part of your investment.

I’ve been mostly successful at replacing retard with dipshit. Of course, when people “in the know” on my efforts see me rage out on someone with “you loving dipshit,” there’s a titter in the background because they know what I meant to say.
