This actually sounds pretty good, where do I sign up?

hm. i spent 2 hours of my life reading the first 20 pages of this thread.. (too much time on my hands)
and the only bit of information i picked up from the entire thing was that i learned what "tl;dr" means. and in all honesty i didn't learn that here either, i had to use google x_x
coincidentally, it's quite applicable to this thread :p

The difference might well be that while the swarmers are out camping empty space and listening to the brain goons talking about ultimate final victories in ideological crusades and erecting the greatest number of pointless bubbles and towers in the history of the new eden cluster, I will shortly be going planetside to a little party with some good friends and fine food and drink and leaving the swarm to compose its next responses to greet me when I come back pleasantly fed and nicely inebriated later on in the night.
Or perhaps, its just that I've never made the rank of:
SENIOR ANALYST in the Eve Institute for Self Important Spaceship Spies and Forum Sneaks.
Something like that little insect. 
wow he really got to you, you're still posting about it
actually this isn't a surprise given how fragile and transparent you are

I imagine it must be quite frustrating for those goons that occasionally try to fakepost an attempt at logical entrapment to be submerged in the general morass of hooting and braying and illiterate grunts of their fellows. If nobody ever takes a single thing the swarm says seriously how can you troll pubbies?
There are two boss-creatures in the swarm I might respond to seriously. Nothing else there is worthy of being viewed as an individual. If I believed there was much in the way of individual cognizance beneath the moronic behaviour I might have more empathy for the plight of the poor misunderstood intellectual goons but unfortunately I don't.
Parroting the words and terminology of other sentients doesn't buy you a seat at the table of debate. Show the faintest glimmering suggestion of independent thought from below the collective groupthink and this might change - but I won't be holding my breath.
wow look at dat purple prose
look, abusing a thesaurus won't convince anyone who isn't already an idiot that you're intelligent
the problem, of course, is that in your average post you use a lot of :words: to call someone a butte, and if someone calls you the same minus the exercise in florid pseudointellectuallism you complain to the mods
this is actually the only thread i've had any of my posts moderated on since the terrible isd volunteers were put to the sword.
doesn't matter though son, your buddies in rkk (+10 for all eternity~~~) are suffering and all the words in the world won't change that
let me just move dis over here to page 25~

Mittani don't give him any hints on how the majority of people perceive his posts, he might become a little less ignorant and narcissistic which would ruin the comedy of it.

Due to my ability to analyze Jade's posting and predict his responses (thereby making him sperg out) I've been promoted to Chief Senior Analyst at EIIST. Thank you Jade! I've now become even more important in the internet spaceship MMO community than you!

Although really, all someone has to do to become more important than Jade is to log into 0.0 and shoot other people in 0.0, so that's not saying much.

I come back 10 pages later and Jade still can't write anything worth reading due to falling for every troll.
Originally by: Orosinii Devian 666 - your concept of ideologies and their presence or apparent lack of 'ability to be' present in eve is wrong. Ideologies are not just confined to politics but are present in everyday life; everyday life includes the gathering together of a diverse ethnic concentrated playerbase in MMO. Please see the attached excert from the WIKI:
[i]In public discussions, certain ideas arise more commonly than others. Often people with diverse backgrounds and interests may find themselves thinking alike in startling ways. Social scientists might explain this phenomenon as evidence of ideologies.
Dominant ideologies appear as "neutral", holding to assumptions that are largely unchallenged. Meanwhile, all other ideologies that differ from the dominant ideology are seen as radical, no matter what the content of their actual vision may be. The philosopher Michel Foucault wrote about the concept of apparent ideological neutrality. Ideology is not the same thing as philosophy. Philosophy is a way of living life, while ideology is an almost ideal way of life for society. Some attribute to ideology positive characteristics like vigor and fervor, or negative features like excessive certitude and fundamentalist rigor.
Maybe the current dominant ideology is the growing distate of 'goons in space' due to the failing attempt of Goonswarm to influence their ideologies on this forum and thus in Eve.
Happy to discuss
Oros - & Kenny I hope you make them burn for attempting to take Delve ...
So there are some factions trying to push their "dominant ideologies" onto others within eve. This "growing distaste" is not new.
This interpretation would suggest that Band of Brothers was an ideological organisation within eve with the "There are no goons". The problem with this ideology is that it started out false and continued to be false. In fact this ideology lead to the catastrophic failure with the resultant "There is no BoB".
This case study would suggest that the use of ideologies within the game environment of eve online will certainly lead to a complete failure. Perhaps people should just have fun instead. http://obeythekitten.com/ |

No just dismissing one of the myriad voices of the endlessly repetitious swarm. I pick and choose which voice to respond to dear, you can't expect me to treat all 5000 of you like individuals - in essence you are a hive mind, I respond to one I respond to all
