It's still in the Imperium. You know, the organization whose leadership's self-owns spawned approximately 150 pages of posting and a goldmined thread.

I think there's still merit in a group within GSF trying to influence things on the inside and helping it chart a new, better course away from the toxicity and harassment of the past. Nobody's asking you to add it to the OP, but I and others can tell you Am0k. is a bubble of safety and respect within the Imperium. Whoever said in the last thread that Am0k is a telegram-based group in the last thread isn't wrong lol.

Anyways, I'm just asking you to not tar Amok with the same brush that you're painting the rest of the alliance with, because we're not like that, but that's just my take as a regular ole line member.

People serious about effecting change would be raising merry hell until what deadtear posted gets done and should prob also be pushing for people yelling about cancel culture to follow Dear Leader out of the airlock. Can't say that seems to be happening but go ahead and prove me wrong?

You say that, but seem to be assuming that it's not happening. Not all the raising merry hell happens in Elysium or the SA thread. Some groups bring the sanitizing light of the truth out in the open and push the public perception in the right direction, like this thread has. Other groups use their influence in PM's, private/privileged channels, and other similar methods.

Anyways, I can't really defend the quality of our posting because :lmao:

, but it's simply not true to say that everyone left in the Imperium are Mittani bootlickers who had lovely takes in the QA threads.

It is fair to say that the Mittani bootlickers who had lovely takes in the QA threads are still there and still active on Reddit, literally right now. And when we say lovely takes lets make no mistake, about it, I have had racism and homophobia thrown at me by people happily wearing goon tags after the meta show in a thread I made on Reddit about it. One imperium member got very upset at merc for not doubling down on the transphobia and was of the opinion that he was less of a man because of it.

Only you can’t see that because Reddit mods “cleaned” the thread.

Until this stops, you can all go do one quite frankly, because it does not fit into SA’s 2022 ideals.

I would like to point out that anybody can wear any tag on Reddit , and flair baiting to make a group look bad happens a lot. But I'm not discounting that there are some lovely people in the Imperium, but if you can get screenshots or logs of this sort of disgusting behaviour from these bigots in the future, it's definitely something that should be forwarded through the new harassment policy. The only way to know if those in power in the imperium are serious about changing things is by using the new system they say will handle it appropriately. And I think it's safe to assume that a lot of groups that are in the Imperium still are paying close attention to how they handle reports going forward.

Also, thank you all for putting yourselves out there for calling all this out. It needed to be said and heads needed to roll. And a lot of work still needs to happen. I'm just waiting to see how things evolve in the near future, personally.

imagine Cryo becoming persons undesirable in The Imperium and yet The Mittani and Innominate are not. There's a loving easy win here TheAdj/Merk/whoever takes over the alliance/coalition: Kick The Mittani/Innominate and their alts in game; ban them from all services once they have handed their out of game roles over and then permanently put them on the blacklist with zero chance of removal. That would at least prove that The Imperium is willing to break with the past

I wonder if they're leaving that move to whichever sucker ends up "in the big chair". I hope it's coming as the first set of big sweeping moves the new alliance leader makes.

I mean, it might be the only thing we would take as their word that the ~big sweeping changes~ are actually that and not just a distraction until this all blows over

Definitely a fair point. It'd also be good to see the unbanning of those who were calling this out in the forum's, even if they're justifiably not interested in returning to GSF. But until we see who's going to take the reins, by TheAdj's own admission, we won't see his provisional leadership making those moves. Which is genuinely disappointing.

Is it practical to live in a wormhole even if you don’t have access to Pathfinder?

Or are there other 3rd party mapping tools? I guess I wonder: can anyone use Pathfinder now?

Is it even still called Pathfinder?

It's available on the interwebs if you google it. You want to host the files yourself if you want it to be maximally secure though. I think you can use it solo just off their website though

ps you all should make an old geezers retirement home thread so you can talk about that one time you were space important or share stories about the awful things goons did

Huff Gas, do Exploration sites, you can run C3 wormhole anoms solo in a couple different hulls like the Praxis, I want to say Vagabond and Loki and I'm sure a bunch of other ones too.

It's a good day when the people still posting on SA for whatever reason are only capable of brief, empty tangents and diversions--rather than daring to even come close to touching the core subject matter of conscious endorsement of *waves arms* everything, take your pick.

We've got one guy getting lost in the weeds about sunglasses pictures, one who said nothing happened, and yet another who is sealioning for receipts when they're readily available.

They know that what happened is indefensible.

It's as close to an admission of guilt as you can get in 2022.

So do you have these receipts of Bill dropping the n word in his rap videos or what? Because I watched and listened to them all and I'm pretty sure you're wrong there :shrug:

. I mean it's pretty straightforward to prove or disprove this particular claim of yours. If the guy is guilty of it it's just as simple as posting the clip.

How about we stop posting about shitposting and post about this stupid loving game? Btw if you're fresh to wormhole space, the PI there is the best in the game, and with 16-20 planets you can make billions per month making P4's, if whatever hole you settled in has the proper spread of planets. If not, you can still likely get a good p3 setup rollin, but you'll also get an RSI from all the clicking... Bring yer icepacks.

Oh definitely, gas huffing is very good isk right now! The low-sec mykoserocin sites are also really good, so keep an eye out for those too. Make sure to bring a gnosis along wit dah gooses huffing farts, the boosts they bring to all the ventures/prospects/barges and their own yield is very, very good. Here's a couple fits if you want. T1 scoops for no waste, or you can roll T2 scoops/harvesters to maximise yield if you don't think you'll clear the site within the 18 minutes before the sleepers show up (if you have no means to kill them). The barges don't make much sense because their T1 harvesters are freakin garbo for yield, and the T2 have absolutely brutal waste. The T1 harvester covetors have decent yield, but the T1 venture harvests ~90% of the T1 covetor for a fraction of the price, so.. yeah. Anyways here ya go
