I dunno, but watching people rage on the forums because of them is funny, all the bitter quips and outright rage on CAOD is pretty entertaining.

But I like you guys.
The only reason I pick on the Goons is that they really are terrible at alliance warfare. I mean who did the majority of the fighting in Delve. The Goons? Also whos bright idea was it to completely abandon the Goons original territory to jump to Delve anyways? I have a peculular feeling that particular bit of stategy is going to have some rather humorous consequenses.

I like goonswarm myself. They are a friendly rowdy bunch. People who don't like them have no sense of humor. 0.0 EVE has a very simple dividing line:
People with no sense of humor - Kenny and allies People with a sense of humor - The coalition
Thats how it works in 0.0 ___________________________________

Because they don't honour their agreements. It is a routine trick of theirs to offer membership to their corp for a fee, or offer to rent some 0.0 space for a fee. Then they take the money and run, rinse and repeat.
And no, I've never been scammed by them, I read about them way before I came in contact with them.

I dont hate them! I think they are jolly good fun! You know. just like the clowns and the monkeys you see at the circus! For me, they are pure entertainment, and as such worth their weight in gold!

I always thought people hated them because it's their stated goal to kill eve-online.
But beyond that, they'll grief people without thinking twice, scam them and lots of other nasty stuff.
Oh yeah, and they smack. A lot. Always minimize local when goons are in it.

I disagree, goons are pretty much as any other big allaince, only a tad bit more full of themself.
Why I think people do not like them is that the first impression of goons was "a bunch of noobs in T1 ships, that are rude". But they manage to pull of the stuff they want. They got superior numbers after all, and some of the leaders play EVE like its their life really, so that makes them successful and annoying to others.

Thats actually probably the most sensible way you can put it. ken and barbie are the ones you would expect to see at 4am on the computer dressed in full replica spacesuits including helmets and oxygen tank.

They generally do what they want, when they want, how they want. Some people have trouble getting their head around that concept.

it was $100k not $10k. People dislike who they think we are, and to an extent who we portray ourselves as to the (non-allied) other players. Consider Zeba's post. Every sentence is factually false yet i'm certain he/she/it thinks it mostly accurate.

If you met a Goon in real life, they'd be just like anyone else you know. The same percentage of them would be ****s as you see in any other population group in life.
In game though, they all focus their in game personae on the worst parts of the internet. OR, you could say they focus on the good things, and ignore them.
As a whole they have the stated goal of ruining the game for everyone in EVE. Of Driveing us all away from the game.
But the real reason that many of us dislike/hate them is that in every contact we have with them in game, is almost universally bad.
They belittle people for no reason, they act like they are better then others because they pay to be members of an internet chat forum, and so on.
If you've ever been on their voice coms you'd understand. Or if you'd ever been a member of one of their in game chat channels. They can be some of the most offensive people i've ever run across in any setting. RL or virtual.
And the fact they REVEL in this.. They WANT you to hate them. They NEED you to hate them. Our hate DEFINES who they are.
To the vast majority of us, we find them pitiful that they would need to do something in this way to define themselves.
Most folks in EVE define themselves with something. Solo PVP battles, Nationality, race, sex, "styles" of game play, longevity or any one of a hundred different ways we define our corps/alliance's.
The goons define themselves by the hate they engender in others.
For me, goons will be red for life simply because they can't be trusted. Well, lets look at this a different way. Of all the political entities in game, the Goons can be trusted the LEAST.
So.. -10. Nothing personal. It's just serious business :)

goons are just or can be a little annoying. I find them hilarious.
But at least they don't cheat and do other dumb stuff that is dev/gm influenced as bob/kenny has done in the past.

There are two kinds of goons, the prime are the ones with no honor, who don't give a **** about anything but having fun (for themselves, not for anyone else ofc) these are the real goons everyone ought to like. They will try to scam you out of your clothes and steal your mother, all the while trying buttseks your father. They don't really care at all, about much anything.
Then there are the little goonies who got in to goonswarm, and think they're cool and on top of the foodchain, they don't smack for the fun of it like the seasoned goonies, they smack because they think they're better than everyone else. They're the little kissassfishes that make the Swarm in GoonSwarm.
Personally I hate all kissassfishies.

Where to start? Well try this:
Some goons
see the Goons are bigger than just Goonswarm in Eve, they have decided that your tastes in entertainment and game play are pathetic, and should be ridiculed and destroyed, and they try to do this as much as they can in many different arenas. They really want everyone to stop playing Eve and will try and break it in any way they can.
Its a bit like people in your local leisure centre deciding that you take your weekly squash games far too seriously and run amok all over the court while your trying to play. Apparently to get upset over this behaviour would make it all 'serious business' and the target of even more disruption.
Personally, I really, really hate people telling me what to think and trying to dictate what I should like and dislike.
And now they own the richest part of the Eve universe, bad times ahead I think.

How can you be sure what all 5000 goons do and do not?
