1) Lots of F1 monkeys. And they don't control the entire game. They've been repeatedly kicked out of wormholes, their less intelligent members regularly die to incompetent war deccers in hisec (same is true of every alliance though) , and at most they control half of nullsec. So at best maybe 15%-25% of the game, if even that.
2) They aren't really destroying the game. They're probably a net positive, while they may do things I disagree with (*cough* doxxing *cough*), overall they've probably helped the game more than they hurt it e.g. tracking titan nerfs, super nerfs, and getting a gaming media sh*t storm rolling on incarna/summer of rage.
3) Lot's of F1 monkeys. But they're not unstoppable. Wormhole dwellers stomped them repeatedly. Likewise, their renter empire (Greater Western ...) is bleeding members slowly, but consistently due to ongoing harassment from a slew of entities.
4) They lack either the raw power or the willpower to do so. Sov warfare sucks because ~insert narrative of choice~. Also, treaties.
5) Interceptors work. So do bombers and blops, but I prefer intys. |

I think I like you. So much QQ about ceptors getting nullified, but my god has it helped to make things interesting...especially in dead end ratting systems that used to be relatively safe when heavily bubblewrapped. |

You could wait until he accidentally lets his siege module start a second cycle, then doomsday his naglfar when the rest of the fleet warps off to reinf. the next tower.... :/ So, you're a bounty hunter. No, that ain't it at all. Then what are you? I'm a bounty hunter. |

Poll results being notably more effective in Eve than lots and lots of guns.
Quote:2) What drives them to destroy the game?
Your game (my game, his game), not the game. Presumably because it's fun on account of this being a game.

1) Their leader actually has a leadership team who he listens to and utilises them to do their expertise and makes decisions based on what they report. That and they have a logistics wing that is larger than most alliances. Also, a lot of players to jump into a lot of fleets to supply a lot fo guns.
2) They aren't anymore, they became the game. They came to save EVE from the stagnation of the Elite pvpers by showing everyone that 1000 average players in tech one ships with a good leadership team can beat out a couple of hundred of high skillpoint players in bling boats. This is the group of players who before dominion sov uprooted all that they owned to win the POS war in Delve.
3) Because they are organised.
4) Because it isn't in their best interest. Null sec in its current form encourages a system of ownership more similar to countries than principalities.
5) I personally don't hunt goons but I would imagine they die pretty much like everyone else. Inside the game I would recommend that you take your favourite combat ship and just keep hunting until you get unlucky. I prefer Amarrian ships since the lower ammunition barriers mean for longer ops if you are RPing a behind the lines op. If you set up a base of operations in lowsec or null you could use anything you like. Also take probes so you can scan out wormholes while bored. |

Honestly, I heard more racism in 2 weeks in Darwins Lemmings than I've ever heard since I've been in the CFC, so it sounds remarkably like you're talking out of your ass.
I'll give this a shot though.

By causing people like yourself to post rants, making sure that nobody ever stopped talking about them. 2. They... don't? They play the game like anyone else. If anything more improvements have come from goons pushing for change than anywhere else, even at the detriment of goons. Seriously, go check. 3. Because they play for fun. So even if everything go stripped away, there'd be thousands of players in T1 frigates blapping people all over the place. 4. Their complete inability to work together effectively. All of them will want to be "da boss" so they usually collapse. When they don't collapse themselves, we give them a little nudge. Besides, the biggest groups in this game (CFC included) understand that the other groups are needed to keep content alive, so they have no incentive to make their members incredibly bored by removing their enemies. 5.

Posting in a grrr goons thread.
Answers to all the questions: Because Goonswarm is the best alliance to be in if you are an EVE player and want to have some fun. I have been in several alliances and in Goonswarm i have the most fun. Well organised, much room to do your own thing, and lots of nice people.

I have another question. What makes PL or NC better than Goonswarm? They have more space. They have more renting space. They took more moons from lowsec people. They drop more supers and capitals on lowsec cruisers than any one else.
What is better NCPL or Goonswarm.

Respect and trust are two very differing qualities, one though is much more prevalent in Eve than is t'other.
Very proud to state that I ahve an abundance of both with the Goon friends that I have made in game. Genuine nice guys and they have been there for me in times of need.
Far too much Bullsh!t and disinformation on these forums, does makes me wonder as a non-Goon as to just what the fear is that all the propagandist seemingly harbor and then drives them recklessly over here en-masse to engage in these sh!tposting marathons.
