Wait...you mean SIr Molle is a Goon because he paid his 10$...? It all makes sense now
oh, I'm pretty sure Sir Molle has always been a goon.
Just not a "goon" |

And how do you know he is not?
And aren't you inferring anyone with a SA account is in a Frat and a Goon? |

For all I know Sir Molle may be both a goon and a "goon". I don't know the guy.
But yes, that's the concept It's an independent organization that you pledge into, personally and financially
in exchange you'll be accompanied in your pursuits and future with an organization to help you along, to give you that winning edge in whatever your pursuits!
School to school? Club to club? Sport to sport? Or (in this case) video game to video game,
wherever you go, there they are. Your ready-made friends. Brothers. "community"
And it obviously works very well for goons. I don't think you'd see the goons success, staying power and thusly the CFC's remarkable size without it. It's quite unique.
(though this is not to detract from the exemplary leadership and organization skills of the group, which while rely on that solid fraternity base, stand alone in their accomplishments.)
Sure, there are plenty of other groups that have outside connections. Most quite smaller, but even larger ones, like a solid chunk of RA, or Test.. but even those lack the 'complete frat package' like goons.
Either failing on their ability to apply that brotherhood so seamlessly and across such a spectrum of games, or to filter their membership so rigidly with the distinct pledging process. |

The next sovgrind fest will be AMAZING There are no goons. The goons' 0.0 dream is over.

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?
something awful is a comedy website with a forum not an internet fraternity or mmo metaguild npc alts have no opinions worth consideration |

that's not true. dreddit is close, but not the same at all. in fact, not even close in the ways that really matter
the SA community requires some initial form of investment. as a site it's accessible, but hardly 'open to the world' , SA can moderate much more effectively, this gives you an crucial iota of quality control
reddit doesn't serve as a gaming community. it's a site about everything and anything and nothing. while SA has nigh on infinite topics available, there is a staple fraternity of gaming groups that is in no way close to comparable to reddit
take some credit for yourself. jeez, man. you just said you were basically the same as reddit people, how do you sleep at night?

no one talks about the google groups goons infiltrating a game
I'm not sure why so many of you are so keen to detach yourself from your main selling points.
Be proud of the massive blue-fest you've built and know not just what got you here but what will take you forward. You guys wanted to ruin eve, you did. As you are proud of, you show by hilarious yet depressing conviction the flaws of the game by rubbing eveyones faces in them again and again.
I applaud you, your endless membership numbers you rely on and it's accompanying 35,000 member list of blues. I just wish I had $10 so I could be nearly as awesome.

oh I'm quite sure. you probably keep accurate records of peoples motivations.
And, I mean, it's only $10, it really means nothing.
The ready-made friends in all the video games you want to play just an added perk! I'm sure most (probably none!) of your thousands of players joined for that reason. It's hardly even popular to do. |

That's all very interesting, I thank you for actually wanting to hold a discussion.
How many people in goonswarm would you say have paid for a SA account?
How many MMOs have SA account holders joined (or plan to join), as a large organized group? |

you need an SA account or a sponsor who joined with an SA account (or is 'naturalized') to join goonswarm, and since 2000 or so, registration on SA has required payment
there are plenty of SA goons who play MMOs in goon guilds/clans, not just goons who play EVE Twitter: @EVEAndski

It's really the best. For example LYRIS NAIRN has started a morrowwind let's play. In fact, there's a whole section of them There are no goons. The goons' 0.0 dream is over.

Now i know to check the Games subforum whenever thinking of making a purchase. It's pretty unlikely that someone has not played it, gotten lots of information and made a post.
Never not post :) There are no goons. The goons' 0.0 dream is over.

I still don't understand why you're so quick to run away from exactly what it is you are. You'd think you'd be proud? But no, you seem revolted by the suggestion people might pay $10 to join you just for the massive list of blues. Yet.... that's exactly how your system works.

You hate all frats/goons/j4gs? Sounds a bit goonie to me. Your posts seem to be good enough...... You should join..... O......wait. I can lend you :tenbux:! |
