Stop giving false advice.
You have to make a hundred posts on Something Awful and at least 10 of them must be in the newbie drive thread. |

Common sense: we have 3300 members, how could that ever happen if we scammed everyone who applied?

My story is very similar, except they had me shoot a pod in Jita since my character was too ****** to gank miners. Check my KB history on battleclinic.
So, you guys want the truth? Here's MY experience joining GoonWaffe. I could get into trouble for posting this, but I don't care anymore. I want to help you guys.
Here's how it works. First, you have to get noticed. Some recruiters are courageous and will recruit anyone, but this is dangerous because you will get kicked out if you recruit too many idiots and spies. Most select their recruits carefully. Amongst other things, they look at your killboard history and the quality of your Eve-o posting (if applicable).
Then, you have to prove your are worthy of GoonWaffe. They will ask for your full API, a security deposit and occasionally some miscellaneous other thing, such as suicide ganking some poor sap or (if you have a sadistic recruitment officer) a 250 word essay on why you want to join. You're asking for them to trust you to be a legit applicant and not a spy, isn't it a no-brainer to ask for some trust in return?
It's kind of like those trust experiments where you're asked to jump blindfolded into a void, but you know your friends will catch you. They just want you to prove you're committed.
Back to my story. My security deposit was 500 million isk. Fortunately, I happened to have a PLEX lying around from a buddy invite.
I paid it as a security deposit and gave my recruiter my full API.
The days, weeks, months passed. I was starting to get chills reading all of those scamming threads, but I knew I had done everything right, so I did not falter.
Yesterday, I checked my wallet and I noticed a transaction. Out of the blue, my recruiter had given me my 600m iskies back. That's a 500m security deposit with 20% interest. There was an EVE-mail saying that I passed the test and I was invited into GoonWaffe. This is what you get for not pussying out. The interest is financed out of all the idiots who are impatient spies or don't have the balls to wait it out.
I then contracted all of my meager assets to our JF service. It got blown up by gate rats because of a dumb pilot (you should see the thread on our forums, he's being ridiculed), but hey, it happens. I'm short of three fitted thrashers and 500m3 of random ass rat modules, but now I'm rich anyways thanks to all the Goonswarm social programs and bittervet love.
Big shout out to Randomus Namus https://gate.eveonline.com/Profile/Randomus%20Namus for making it happen, you're the best recruitment officer in GoonWaffe.

It's just as safe as highsec, except that I get to make 50 million an hour just from salvaging in a Thrasher and 500 million a month AFK thank to nullsec PI and Goon custom offices. Enjoy paying taxes, peasants. Also, it's three jumps to anywhere thanks to the jump bridge network. What were you saying again? |

Also if you're applying with a 2007 toon like that failure in the OP, you better damn expect your security deposit to be a few billion isk, you spy. |

Even though I fully expect to die someday, I must assure you that my body is in fact free of any spy infiltrations.

I personally can't wait for the day that either all of EVE declares war on goons until they are gone/dead or someone is paid tons of ISK to do to them what they did to BOB. forget to pay the billz and are disbanded.
According to what I can read on our awesome secret websites, holy **** are you late. On all counts. |

Edit: Max, please contact me about joining a corporation. We are in null(non sov)and have lots of good fights. Probably after getting your feet wet with us the goons will take a second look at you and you might get in :)
Nobody will entrust you with a security deposit unless you're GoonSwarm |

There are multiple EVE trailers who are anchored around the concept of ganking and scamming.

Welcome To Eve Joke's on you, now you're not playing EVE in GoonWaffe and are therefore not playing EVE. |
