Mittens was pretty much the entire reason I left, and seeing him gone is a huge leap forward for the Imperium. However, I don't get the kick/ban thing. I don't see that happening. For all his faults, the guy has been the leader for a long time and put a lot of energy into trying to maintain the empire. He then initiated a peaceful transfer of power on his way out and I assume has a decent amount of people who still think well of him.

Vengefully kicking isn't the right thing to do imo. Not only would it rub a lot of people the wrong way, but you risk him getting motivated and starting his own thing which could fracture the Imperium. Let him drift away in inactivity and let Asher start making Goons 3.0.

anyone rubbed the wrong way by it can and should get hosed

and lots of people including myself put a lot of time and energy into the imperium; him deciding to not go gently caress goons on the way out is not winning him brownie points either, I don't thank the chef at the local country-style chicken restauraunt for not giving me salmonella

Stop thinking that "avoiding fracturing the Imperium" is essential! Ideally you would try not to, but if there are truly *that many* Mittens diehards that this is a risk, you are going to have to fracture the Imperium to get rid of them, they're not going to change their attitude just by ignoring them and hoping it goes away.

Agreed, it would literally be better to break it apart a bit to be rid of the chuds - the only thing preventing it would is the space pixels and a loss of power/asses in chairs for this dumb game

ShaneMacGowansTeeth posted:

I mean, it's pretty easy. In Asher's first meeting with all of the alliance corp directors and sub-directors he should simply say "in seven days I'm kicking Mittani from this alliance, banning him from services and blacklisting him. If any of you or your members have an issue with that, you know where the door is. Oh and anyone that wailed and gnashed about a cancel culture woke mob has seven days to get out as well"

this, plus blacklist reversals would be A+, it would not make him popular, it would be hard and divisive, but it would be the right thing.

Also love to see Globby white noise false equivalence'ing and white knighting the unrepentant coverup machine for sex pests
"Well only the literal capstone of the poo poo pyramid was orchestrating victim blaming, pedo sheltering, and oh Mittani is a known sexual assault groper in his local town... NOT ALL DIRECTORS"

Like we've just had 300 pages in a week about how it was very specific directors, that are easily identified and have specific credible allegations, which have been rehashed ad nauseum and verified, now you wanna play this

" Well the imperioum is cool akstually and those people who got fed up with repeated malicious bad faith from directors are nerds with an empty killboard, I'm not mad ur mad"

link to this please

on the fireside he did the week after, adj was like "part of this whole problem was mittani not knowing how to shut the gently caress up", which is not an admittance of fault or guilt in my book tbh and it's also not a loving apology - keeping misogyny quiet is not the correct outcome, not having it in the first place is the correct outcome, and then there was still no apology (I thought most people's parents taught them as a child to say they're sorry when there's a fuckup, apparently not because getting an apology is like pulling teeth or trying to send a mission to mars)

some people posted in the forum thread that what mittani did wasn't good, but

1. that's a forum thread, that most people will not read or acknowledge, and many who read it will not acknowledge it,
2. it's not a public/coalitionwide sphere, it's a personal opinion on a dead forum called goon fleet dot com,
3. as per number 2, it's not an official stance for the org; unless it comes out on an official channel it does not matter - and it must be from the heads of the alliance, adj, now asher, or anyone else of significant importance

Like who? You guys ran off everyone of note in GSF other than like me, bill, and occasionally a wild xttz appearance. Seems like Asher’s play is to just do poo poo better and get back to playing eve. Let his actions speak for themselves and if that’s of interest to people ITT they can give it a try.

If someone got banned and wants to give GSF a try again they can reach out to our new exec either via PM on these forums, or I can get you hooked up with him on discord. GSF is back to shooting spaceships and there’s no appetite for litigating it over.

E: down below you basically said you requested everything that I mention in this post; so it seems we're on the same page

I apologize; like who for what? I am confused; I mentioned in number 3 that if Asher or theAdj made a statement actively condeming the behaviour; as an org statement, that would be appropriate.

It would be more appropriate to add an apology into that as well for the people who were harmed, and more appropriate still if they also mentioned that defense of the behaviour is innappropriate.

Furthermore it would be appropriate to unblacklist Solus, given the circumstances; I don't care if mittens is blacklisted, him being out of the org would be enough; but if he is not blacklisted and the whistleblower is, that's not good (I also know you are not in control of it, I'm saying this all as a general direction for the org to take)

I don't know what litigating means, but the fact there's no appetite to do this very simply thing is a problem - they may have a solution in place for the future, but it still means this whole thing that caused it still has not been fixed.

Over the past two weeks I've witnessed Dozer help out newbies (like, actual eve newbies) on several different occasions. He's contributed a lot of organizational knowledge and on one occasion walked a newbie through finding us through two wormholes and (somehow) their Selected Items window getting turned off. You, meanwhile, have posted here about how we need to get over toxic behavior and Get Back To Playing The Game.

So yeah, he can give you a lecture, and you should gently caress off.

E: It was inappropriate for the person (Rydis?) who manipulated him into doing so as well, they should be ashamed of themselves

He posted his junk where minors were exposed to it dude; and has a very sordid history completely regardless of that; trying to be a good person now is good and fine and what he should be doing but it does not excuse everything someone has done previously, and people who are done with him have every right to be.


Also this is not a defence of Atrum, he is a big boy and can handle himself. But I will also throw in that Atrum moved mountains for Delta and the survivors of abuse while all this poo poo went down and still advocates for us and the survivors. He may be wasting his time in trying to do so in the Imperium; but it's his time to waste. He was in the posting trenches with us and that's good enough praxis for me.

I have no idea what's going on in this picture. Mifune is an FC I think and Phoenix was that Alliance officer that left recently, right?

mifune's a mouthpiece for theta "phrenology enjoyer" squad whose only redeeming quality is that he looks like riley from Letterkenny;

pheonix was a coord and very popular FC that certain members of leadership drove away through mistreatment; and then proceeded to make up lies and smeared poo poo all over his good name when he left; at one point he was doing like, 12%, 20%?? of all fleets the imperium was fielding; absolute madlad

edit: it's ironic that mifune calls cryo a dick rider and circle jerking, giving that it's literally the entirety of mifune's brand

he goes on twitch dot tv for theta thursday and jerks himself off with other people whose big brain takes include but are not limited to "I know economics because I had a small business" "delta sqad is paid horde actors" "asher is shallow because he only likes pretty girls" "suicide ganking in highsec is bad" (thankfully for that last one many of them disagree)

It probably is theres, I don't know. But I feel that horde and goons are both gonna start eyeing tests share.

I mean they aren't using it for anything other than the directors wallets and maybe some "gifts" to fraternity (though that's just a conspiracy) and maybe the pay amounts were written in stone and test is gonna keep their share... but I hope they lose it. Also has anyone noticed the amount of people saying "if everyone bands together, we can destroy TTT and save eve" like it isn't owned by the two largest blocs in the game? very annoying. It's always been a thing, but it's getting more and more common.

it's very funny because it's 1. not the problem with eve, 2. not going to happen because no one except me wants to sit in highsec for multiple 20 hour tidi fights over a keepstar armour and hull timer on the busiest node

I was there in a Nyx when it kicked off, though I was actually playing Civ 4 when the first pings went out. I then stayed up until 3am UK in my Nyx not being able to shoot anything because I believe supercarriers were being used as a screen against a dreadbomb. I docked in Big's Disco Palace, went to bed, woke up at 8am, logged into jabber to find the battle still going on and that supers were now allowed to shoot things. In the end, I got on five or six titan kills, and in exchange for all of my T2 heavy fighters getting nuked

i think the reserve bank should pay out a % at set intervals to the holder of the TCU (specifically not the ihub), that way money can filter into corps while still maintaining an onus of defence from the alliance they're in since the alliance would still have to control the ihub

although some alliances would probably demand that all systems have their tcu for the executor corp but that's not ccps problem; but new income streams are needed for players, and corps, and alliances, anything that lets it trickle through the whole ecosystem would be good


you could even have the payout require someone to manually pull the cash, so that way people can contest your resource collection in space; like robbing one of those trucks that carries money to/from banks

Oh, no harshing my mellow…I’m having fun on fleets and I’ve only lost two ships all month so far! I guess I was just slightly disappointed I wasn’t chased into/out of Jita outside my home system. All the guides and videos harped on safes, deepsafes, instawarp/instadock…and none of that was necessary at all. I blew past the trianglemans in a couple of gates, but if it weren’t for them I could’ve just autopiloted the whole trip.

The new QoL stuff was linked in jabber yesterday, though, and every one is a home run. Hopefully a portent of things to come!

Guides and videos harp on these things, because they're what you should do if you want to be safe all the time... But its not necessary most of the time.

Take bouncing while traveling for example. 99% of the time, you dont need to bounce and can warp straight to a gate. But that 1% is gonna catch up with you on jump 49 out of 56 when some guys smart bomb you on a gate, forcing you to travel all over again.
