Originally by: Professor Dumbledore We had a person submit about 10 news leads none of which were published.
Veto has been submitting news leads for years and often doesn't get a story about awesome we are (although we did recently and enjoyed it).
Veto - small non-space holding group, specializes in small gang pvp, approximately 200 members Goonswarm - largest alliance in the game, held/holds enormous swaths of territory, currently holds most valuable territory in the game, Regularly has fleet battles involving hundreds/thousands of pilots, approximately 5000 members (not counting allies)
Who gets more coverage in ISD? Veto.
This isn't meant as a slam on your play-style but Veto has gotten far more coverage over the years than Goonswarm, even though at the alliance politics level you guys are a non-entity. That seems to show evidence of some pretty clear bias.
Getting to little intraweb im importatnt time are we? ANGRY INTERNET GAMING MOBS IRL are bad MKAY!

What's the bigger achievement - taking down a POS when you have 200 members, or taking down a POS when you have 5000 members?
Also, if you were to count the number of mentions in the news that the Goons have had over the years, I'm sure that it's a higher number than the number of mentions that Veto have had.
Whats the bigger news story? A 200 member corp taking down a POS or a 5000 member corp and allies taking down 500? (It's also far and away the bigger achievement, but since this is internet spaceships, who cares.)
The issue isn't who is "mentioned" in the news story, the issue is who gets to tell their story. Goonfleet, the much larger and more relevant organization has fewer of their news submissions accepted than a small mercenary alliance. The actions we take have a much larger effect on the EvE community (ship prices due to moon mining operations ceasing/beginning, disruption in travel in a large portion of space, mass migration and opportunities for Empire corps to take over abandoned space). It's like putting the neighborhood hero who tackled a burglar on the front page, but ignoring World War 2. Don't get me wrong, coverage of smaller corps has its place, I'm sure many folks would be fascinated with a "human interest" story about its can-do spirit and outstanding k/d ratios. But what is happening in Delve right now is far more relevant to the average player, and the lack of balance in coverage is problematic.
Also buttes.
You seem to care quit a bit .... must be those ten dollas you payed joining go0ns rite?
On a side not you and your assorted pubbies are aware of that you can talk to ISD etc right?
If not your CSM rep must know? ANGRY INTERNET GAMING MOBS IRL are bad MKAY!
