Just work up to buying the first two with isk. Don't bother with the last chip at this point. The reason to get the last chip was to be ahead of the race to higher tiers, but if you didn't buy that chip in the first week, its not going to be worth it now.

so to get everyone an opsec free AAR of what happened today.

SHH kept pushing back their alarm clocking to try and take the gatecamp grid. VVV didn't really believe us when we said they were coming for the grid 3 hours prior to the timer, well now they know. We tried.

To break the gatecamp, they switched to autocannons on all of their stabbers. We lost the gatecamp pretty handily, which gave them a large ego boost as they sat on the station camping it for 2 hours.

During those two hours our operations was in full swing working strategy with all our allies. SHH never switched back to strike cannons, keeping their fits and thinking there was no way they could lose now. They had the grid and could blow up anyone on the undock. ZTH showed up with a handful of BC's to help.

VVV was running psyops in local, saying they had no FC and that it was chinese holiday, they just wanted to shop. We honked in local, which drove them insane, because we just lost a bunch of omens? What do we have to honk about?

All our allies converged at once as the station timer hit. We outnumbered them easily 3:1. Because they were autocannon fitted, NORF was able to snipe the gently caress out of them with their strike cannons on one side, and 200 angry chinese nerds undocked from the station and shot them at close range. They got distracted from the timer and were not able to rush it, and they eventually went for it and whelped into our warm embrace at the station.

We easily held the timer, we destroyed angry space racists, and they began blaming each other on comms as soon as it looked dire.

So what do we do now? Go back to deklein, destroy their bases, destroy their miners, and make sure to post your killmails in local.


NEVER STOP HONKING

I don't suppose you got some juicy leaks from their discord/comms?

The EO thread has a guy from reddit who has been doing grr goon posts for a while, and his avatar is a goose. I honestly thought at first it was some black hand poo poo to foster resentment and suspicion against goosefleet, but I can be a bit paranoid. It seems to genuinely be a coincidence or something.

Nothing would happen. The EO thread is a nightmare most of the time. I got poo poo on for pointing out problems in the imperium, and just got jumped with loads of disingenuous poo poo. Orange juche in particular being a poo poo.

Nah, he knows how to organize folks for real, don't let your dislike of the dude get in the way of that. However, he's probably not going to do that when it's much easier to sit there and collect tithe from an esports idiot. He has zero reason or desire to get involved in toilet eve, said so in the screenshot, so as far as i can tell he's just grifting a bunch of idiots who are thirsty for mittani to be in their discord, which is a whole layer of entertainment unto itself.

Or he has friends in SHH and is helping them out. Since that's what he actually said. Why do you have to make up fiction to pretend this is a good look.

I'm not sure why people refuse to examine who they play/consult games with, to see if they are actually racist or homophobic or generally politically lovely. Especially when it's being called out. You aren't supposed to give them the benefit of the doubt and say if they are "being racist shitags I would be shocked". It's really telling to me when the defenses of these groups focus so heavily on racism and ignore homophobia and other bigotry, in favor of only overt racism. I guess if you narrow your definition you can ignore any actual problematic poo poo.

"The way we purge racist in goonswarm is someone reports the incident to a diplo if they're from an allied group, we investigate it and then we commissar the shitbag"

I'm sure that must be more of a suggestion to SHH since it's definitely not what happens in GSF. Maybe for the most obvious racists, but when you ban politics in the biggest chat channel and allow dogwhistles to continue, allow fleet comms to be regularly homophobic and transphobic and engage in the same lovely dogwhistles, then your "way of doing things" is broken.
When I brought this up in the EO thread I got poo poo on hard. I was told I was overreacting, I got questioned over and over to bring up evidence, when I brought it up it was ignored or brushed aside and I was challenged for more and more evidence. I'd expect this sparring with alt right shitbags, not really sure why goons have to go out of their way to insist there definitely isn't a problem in the Imperium. The sad thing is, this sort of stuff could easily be dealt with by leadership, but then again, the POOH guys and a good chunk of their discord are illum members, so I'm not holding my breath.

Perhaps I'm just being holier than thou.
