You don't get goons at all. I'm in one of the two corporations in eve where I am literally free and encouraged to do whatever I want. Dreddit being the other. |

People get ace'd or scammed, and the first thing they think is "Goons did it". Market crashes? Goons did it.
They are a convenient scapegoat for all the ills of the playerbase, because more than anyone else so far, they have "won" at EVE. They can literally do whatever they feel like, and most people can't stop them. Thus, they get hated on by the helpless.
This isn't far off base to be honest, but I was actually speaking to a matter of internal policy. The entire point of Goonswarm is to allow goons to have fun in the spaceship game of eve online in whatever manner they choose and the alliance and furthermore the coalition empowers us to do so. We're literally going to war right now so we can secure enough money for me to faff around other peoples space carelessly in my Cynabal.
We aren't told to do things a certain way or it's the highway, and unlike some of the member alliances of the CFC I'm not made to toe some particular party line. If the entirety of Eve were to turn on us tomorrow and decided they had enough of our bullshit and The Mittani came on coms the next day and drew a line in the sand, absolutely zero people would care if I personally chose not to show up at that line and instead decided to spend my day podding people in Jita with a thrasher while giggling.
Compare this to other alliances who have been known to check the membership of their alliance to see who is online but not in fleet so those people could be kicked out.
Compare this to other alliances who's directorate won't let people post on the Evo forums on their mains. Or order their membership not to read the news sites when things are going bad. Yes it can get that silly in nullsec.
A lot of people note that Goons tend to work in a similar direction, post in a similar manner to forums, and generally behave in a certain way and think that's because we're doing what we're told. They fail to take into account that our organization is based off of an outside entity (The Something Awful Forums) and that for the most part our behavior is on par with one would expect from that august website. It would be the equivalent of wandering up to a biker and saying "You just dress like that because you were told to." while getting all huffy and crossing your arms across your chest without the thought ever entering that the reason he dresses like that is because he's a biker.
That's really a ****** analogy, but I just spend six hours trying to move an entire fleet of ships in my carrier and I'm a bit frazzled. |

I'm not "Selling goons" I'm correcting incorrect people on the internet, a long standing tradition of the somethingawful forums. Also it's hilariously easy to get into Goonwaffe, you literally just have to be smart enough to read, and then take the those words that implanted themselves into your brain and turn them into actions.
If you or your friends are one of the J4G's that got rejected it was a failure on your part because you didn't game the most ridiculously easy to game recruitment system known to Eve. Which frankly makes you (or them) a bit of a moron.
Let me help.
1. Register on the SA forums. 2. Read the goonwaffe thread. 3. Do what it says.
If you follow very carefully the things it states within, within a couple of months you too could be angering half of eve just by existing. I mean really at that point you win. You could spend your entire career ratting in YA0, the very next time you wander through highsec someone is going to freak out because you are a goon.
I mean 95% of the J4G's that got rejected were stupid enough to post "HI I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO BE A GOONIE BUDDY HAHA MAKE EVE PLAYERS MAD" in our recruitment thread despite the corpses of other idiots who did the exact thing floating all over the thread, often times on the very same page.
It's almost like:
Make account Post a lot on account to show you will fit in Join in three months
Doesn't register at all and they are absolutely sure that they will be the exception. |
