Goon pets are treated too well. They get bathed and clipped regularly, the food is steady, they get taken to the vet when they're sick, and they get a scratch behind the ears even when they haven't been good.

Glorious days they will be... Glorious. The problem is that being in the CFC is THEIR wall of safety. Non of the pets could stand on their own two feet if the Goonies weren't holding their hand. |

Now.. I didn't pass judgement and call you terrible. I just pointed out that you're basically a video game frat. You even have little chapters in every town (game). And the identity issues (why don't people outside the frat not like people in the frat? they must be jealous, that's it!) I didn't expect it to be as accurate a comparison when I started commenting on the smell. But it really is uncanny. I mean, feel free to point out where I went wrong.
frats are a group of people who organize themselves and goons are a group of people who organize themselves therefore goons are just like frats hey everybody i'm posting on eve-o look at meeeee

No, they have indentured servants (functionally slaves) instead. They should force all of their renters to join the "Chain Gang" alliance, or some such RP. Not posting on my main, and loving it.-á Because free speech.-á |

Basically, yes.
You can try to gloss over it if you don't want to honestly acknowledge the parallels that exist, but you pay to pledge into a group.
To be a part of an otherwise arbitrary organization that exists completely outside of the (or a) game. This group then uses it's outside resources to apply that advantage to both the group and by extension individual, where others 'go it alone' so to speak.
Some people make friends, or build groups. Yours become goons and the rest is waiting for them inside.
Your "community" is every checkbox of a fraternity. You can point to TEST, RA, hell them and lots of smaller groups of people with outside game and/or RL ties, but none will fit the frat bill quite the way Something Awful does. And certainly not across all the many chapters and schools, er.. games.
I don't say it to be a bad thing. It's part of what makes you unique and successful. You and your members should own being frat boys. |

Sometimes they come back and rent from you again, sometimes they decide to incursion in highsec, who knows There are no goons. The goons' 0.0 dream is over.

You gotta think of something better than a frat
Perhaps a secret society, or no no wait I got it,
a mystery religion
a cult There are no goons. The goons' 0.0 dream is over.

Look, I can appreciate if you don't choose to acknowledge how goons are basically in every way, shape and form a frat.
But don't call people names, that's against the forum rules.
You must be one of the select few "bad eggs" that the core goon group doesn't condone. The exception to an otherwise sterling and stand-up group of guys.

you sound mad, as if you don't appreciate what I've paralleled.
why wouldn't you want to be in a frat? you joined one. you seemingly enjoy having made this decision, or at least the "community" it's afforded you.
yet you reject the concept it's built on?
I just don't understand, maybe you'll be able to stop being so witty and post some content. |

No, not mad at all. Just very fascinated by someone who can't tell the difference between an internet forum and a real life college fraternity. I'm willing to accept that in your mind they are the same thing.

You should read a book some time.
Here, you're so resistant to posting any real content to the thread discussion. Maybe you just need some more encouragement. (they call that trolling, it's also "technically" against the forum rules)
The concept of a fraternity extends beyond those in universities, (though they are likely the first thing people think of when you say 'frat'). Goons are a standing example of this, there are several other RL examples.
It's a meta-organization, that's really all it is.
In the examples of college frats, as you cited, it lets people join a group of friends with promises of future success due to those connections. An "easy mode" if you will.
Goons share some parallels to this, though not completely (unless goons also have parties in basements that smell like bleach?)
Do you not agree that this would summarize the something awful goons? Do you not, as an organization, advertise this very thing? |

not $15? no recurring fees? Do I have to get "rushed"? I'm going to trust you don't resemble a college frat quite that bad.
Just think, all I'd need is $10 and I could post with the goonswarm under MY name. And use edgy and 'in' words like madposting and brosef.
*sigh*
That's not even to mention the 35,000 member blue list! (which is remarkable for a pvp organization)
