Originally by: Mned Graydroggen Though the OP's gesture might be genuine and well ment. I myself nowadays look at who is posting before reading the content.
If the OP of a thread is a Goon or Internetter and his post is followed by a long series of replies by Goon/Internet exclusivly I just close the thread without reading.
My first reaction on reading your words was one of anger, frustration and pain.
But then it struck me that these are negative emotions, which lead only to the old ways we seek to leave behind.
In truth, you are right. It is important that a variety of voices are heard, each one treated with respect even when their views are at variance with our own.
Therefore, I thank you for posting. Not only have you contributed to this shared conversation we all partake in, but you have also contributed to my own personal development as a human being.
Let a thousand flowers bloom, even in the barren emptiness of space.

it is the fact that it is numerous transgressions, i'll let you what if you goonswarm can go a month with out trolling, scamming, flaming and personal attacks then i will repost here and state that i was worng and you can change if you can do that i will use my eve time to help goonswarm. so i'll repost if this is not locked on the 4/4/09
I and my brother-Goons thank you for your thoughtful contribution to this dialogue. It is our collective hope that having brought peace and security to Delve, we can rededicate our efforts to bettering the EVE Community and all who call it home.
Our goals are noble and just, and we will do all in our power to achieve the peace and harmony that we know our EVE Community can enjoy now that it has shed the manacles of immoral and irresponsible cartoons. Having removed those obstacles to success, I urge you join our endeavor and see for yourself the extent to which we can (and will) improve this magnificent EVE Community.
See you in April.

Originally by: Althair Erin First I think it needs to be pointed out that we in Goonfleet have boundless love and respect for our member corporations and our allies. We enjoy their company on teamspeak and in fleet chat, and have invited some of them to participate on our forums, which as you know being a forum based culture that values good posting above all else this is very much like inviting someone into our church.
We do not keep pets or slaves as this inherently is a disrespectful and elitist structure that has no place in the kind of egalitarian galaxy the Swarm believes in. Those people who choose to play alongside us do so because they enjoy the game more when doing it, and we praise their good qualities and don't hesitate to gently point out their shortcomings as is normal between real friends. Our allies never get enough love because there simply isn't enough in all of EVE to give them as much as they deserve! Some people are surprised to learn how friendly goons are because their perceptions have been shaded by irresponsible media and partisan posting, but we are always eager to meet other friendly pilots. I myself have repeatedly extended my hand to opponents of our alliance, and I have received many messages of encouragement from like minded people. Messages of surprise were common as well, coming from pilots who had the wrong impression of the Swarm and wanted to open channels for clear communication.
In my last thread I called for the younger pilots of EVE to rise in opposition to the old and embittered leaders of their alliances, to declare that they were not content to siege or camp or sit waiting for form-ups that might never come or answering CTA's that don't do anything again and again so that the elder players could accomplish goals of revenge laid down years before any of us started playing the game. Many of you wrote back with great enthusiasm for the idea of more open communication between players in 0.0 going a long way toward laying the ground work for a future beyond the old grudges. I hope that you will continue your efforts (as I have) to bring a more civil element to the bitter wars of 0.0
I know that it can be painful to lose ships and towers and all the elements like mods and anchorable structures that go along with them. I myself have lost a bunch, as anyone can see from our killboard! But I think it's really important to not allow the temporary frustration born from those losses to become a lingering bitterness and hatred that twists away the real point of this game: having fun. It is my belief that some of that anger and pain can be softened when both parties treat each other in a respectful fashion, which is why I have always been an advocate for respectful engagements between opponents. Remember that we are all human, and that we can connect with each other on that level no matter which corporation or alliance we happen to belong to.
This is not just a collection of gratitude and pretty words, this is also a call to action! Join with me to create a more civil EVE, an EVE where people treat each other with the respect they deserve as human beings. Forget about alliance or corporation tickers, don't judge people by those- they're ephemeral! But the feelings generated by your actions on each other will last.
I want to thank all of you who have stood against us in this game. You have helped to give us focus and channel our efforts. I hope that you understand that without you none of this would have been possible. Fly safe, friends.
A very well written response to the OP. I truly hope that it is true. I fear for you though, that only time will tell. I am not really a "love in" type, but I know that in the game, the best times I have had and the most fun I have had, have been when I have respected my enemy. In the past Goons have not done this. I hope this thread is true and I tip my hat to you if it is. /me tips hat

It takes time to build a reputation. The Goons have developed over time into what they are today. We have read what you have to say and like it or not, you will be remembered for what we have read on these forums and your actions in game. |

I personally would like to apologize for insinuating that Molle flys avatars to compensate for his smaller members. I feel real bad about that now, and wish to make amends for my transgression. From now on while scouting I will try to do polite things, like put the Marketing skill for sale in KenZoku's staging systems. I know they are having problems accessing some of their goods, so what better way to offer an olive branch than helping a brosef out?

Well Goons you guys are good for a laugh I'll give you that, c'mon you guys are the jerks of Eve, everyone knows it, you know it, your enemies know it, hell your allies even know it.
Even if you guys changed your ways which may happen on the day hell freezes over no-one would accept it, most people the second they see a thread started by a goonie stop right there (yeah I kept reading because this one caught my eye cos it's a little more original than the other goonie purile crap)

I for one am really glad that my fellow Goons have started to feel the same way I do. It quickly becomes easy for goons (myself included) to start to live up to the way that people who oppose us project us to be. Sure it's easy to be mean in local and harsh on people's real life issues as we and our opponents have done in the past. I honestly have felt a little bit misrepresented and misunderstood when it comes to my online persona in Eve online. I never saw goons as being childish and immature in a setting that it wasn't meant to be ironic. Sure there have been exceptions, actually there have probably been many exceptions over the years but in a corporation this large there are bound to be.
I can say with experience that the average goon, and the vast majority of goons are a caring bunch who honestly take care of their own and allies at any chance given. I also know that a lot of us are extremely happy that we are actually starting to be understood throughout the eve community as something more than a bunch of kids looking to grief people.

Let me challenge you with this thought. 
What's so far-fetched about a handful of us (truly there are only a small number of goons posting to this thread) wanting to extend an olive branch to others? We've had a very long period of existential conflict and have finally come out of it on top. Taking the time to reflect upon it all in a positive, constructive manner is both mentally healthy for us and good for the community. Simply put, it's the emotionally mature thing to do. Why begrudge us this moment or worse yet berate it as you have?

Interesting arguement. But even in the statement you just made you can't totally hide what you're thinking can you?? The hard facts are everyone gets tarred with the same brush. You wanna be taken seriously then join someone like MM or Razor for example, you'll never be treated seriously in the alliance you're in.

You should let go of your former prejudices, and you will find that your lifetime will become a more positive experience, as you are opened to new ways of thinking.

The sheer amount of love and joy felt in this thread is unimaginable- nay, it is unfathomable, as I don't think even the collective hearts, minds and souls of the EVE universe or those of the entire planet could ever hope to contain such love as is being spilled forth by the Goons here.
I shall weep a tear of joy for you all tonight as I lay my soul down to rest for all eternity, as only after a moment such as this in the universe has passed could I ever rest peacefully for that long sleep of tomorrow. Perhaps our souls shall meet again in the everlong thereafter, kissing and embracing one another in the joys of brotherhood for we all share the same life force, and we all share the same basic components that define our existence.
Peace and love my brothers, you have truly made this universe a wonderful place. ----- CEO, Astrum Contract Services Group ACSG Open Recruitment- AU/NZ/AsiaPac/Late Nighters- Come kill with us. Or a |

I am sure I speak for all of EVE when I welcome our new peaceful Goon brethren. Which of you fine folks is the official recipient for charitable donations of ISK and ships? I've got 200m burning in my wallet which I am certain you will devote to a good and worthy cause.

Wow, this thread has come a long way I must add. I haven't checked it in a few days and I must say that revisiting it has given me inspiration to form a proper response.
Allow me to break the forth wall here for a moment.
Oh yes, Goons do have an image that is broadcast throughout the EVE community at large, one that is of ill repute and chicanery. And yes, this image is not an accidental one nor is it unsupported by those that identify themselves as "Goons". There is a reason for this, much like the reason there are "bad guys" in Professional Wrestling.
Drama and spectacle to draw the attention of the audience.
We Goons play the heels of EVE not for personal reasons, but because it is part of the show. Like the heels in pro wrestling we resort to dirty tricks to achieve "heat" to engage the EVE community, and our actions on public forums or local chat are only ways of getting "cheap heat" (similar to a live promo cut by the villain when he insults the home sports team).
Our hopes is to allow "babyfaces" to step up and challenge us the heel champions, preferably in a venue comparable to a major pay-per-view such as WrestleMania where we can provide all involved with a historic match that will be talked about in the years to come.
But also like the heels in professional wrestling, we try to keep kayfabe, and behind our colorful spandex attire, luchedore masks, facepaint, and gimmicks we are people too. People putting on a work, taking bumps, occasionally botching and getting hurt.
All to get the audience engaged. _____________ His Royal Highness King Two Beans King of CAOD

I for one believe the Goons hearfelt plea for all of Eve to forgive and forget. Yes OP, I do forgive the numerous attempts of scamming your people have done to many in the Eve community. And all the hard working pilots who have fallen victim to your scamming recruitment cons. I say we all take up the spirit of the Goons and their new direction they have boldly taken. Yes my fellow Eve players, lets all join hands with Goons around the proverbial campfire and sing songs of love and friendship. (Disclaimer)

I will happily accept your isk but not until I have something of equal, or possibly slightly higher, value to offer you in return.
In the meantime, your good wishes are worth more to me than any amount of space gold. ------------ Coranor you all know i can't stand most of the gbc but while we have them we may as well give them something challenging where they can actually learn a bit Dian fair point |

As a child on my birthdays I was always told not to saay what I wished for as a blew out my candles. I was told to close my eyes as I wished and think of a star *. This post has given me new faith that wishes do come true, because I knew it was not possible to have an accidental collective of people with so little respect for themselves or others. I knew you were all faking it.
