Mara Tessidar Bat Country Goonswarm Federation 576	Posted - 2012.06.26 16:54:00 - [31] - Quote One time, I even found an arkonor rock. It was the best day ever. I earned enough past my quota to buy a new mining Osprey! Of course, it took me another month to earn the rest of the fittings, but hey...life's little blessings. Eve Online: A Bad Game.

Get back to work already. Maybe in the next Hunger Games, you can win and get a promotion.

Tomytronic GoonWaffe Goonswarm Federation 195	Posted - 2012.06.26 17:01:00 - [35] - Quote Why did you post this without my permission Snuggles? I don't mind you letting people in to the day-to-day workings of EG, but I do require a primary read over any information that is given out. You know my stance on editorial control and you know the trouble we've been in before. It's sad we have to have these disagreements in public Snuggles, but if you will insist on stepping out of line then someone has to rein you back in. Apart from this little mishap, it was a good summary of life in EG. I have a few critiques to make but I shall make them in private - where this should have first been posted!

Doctor Benway Kado GoonWaffe Goonswarm Federation 161	Posted - 2012.06.26 17:20:00 - [44] - Quote Just thought I'd provide a slightly different view of Goonswarm than Father Snuggles. When I first started playing, I was working overnights as a baker, so I joined up with the EU Alpha squad like Father Snuggles, which wasn't a great fit. Nice enough people, but just not for me. Luckily, around the same time I moved over to a daylight job, so I joined the Alpha US battalion, which everybody calls Theta. Theta being short for the groups full name, Delta Theta Delta. The theme, if you haven't figured out, is like a fraternity, which really fits the battalion's mindset pretty well. To put it frankly, it's a space frat house. There's the same fairly strict hierarchy you'd find in the militaristic European Goonion, but a decidedly different bent to it all. New members are called, unsurprisingly enough, pledges. I had been playing for a month at the time of a switch, enough that I wasn't really a newbie, but that didn't matter. When I joined up, I was automatically a pledge. It's the same for all new members, whether they started playing last week, or back in 2003. You're a pledge until you prove yourself and become a brother. There's a bit of light hazing that goes on, nothing real serious. Pledges are expected to do some boring, menial tasks for the brothers, usually stuff like salvaging their wrecks for a ratter, or hauling in an industrial for one of the Sigma mining ops (Sigma being the 'carebear' battalion of goonswarm). Most of the stuff isn't so bad, just a little dull, and usually the brothers will throw some pretty good isk your way. Still, you're looked down on, and it's not really fun to be a pledge. So, obviously, you want to become a brother. Unfortunately, the only way to become a brother is by running the gauntlet. The gauntlet is basically this - one of the brothers tells everyone he's running a 'slosh op', which basically means you've got a blind stinking drunk and/or high right before. Next, you get on mumble and they yell out what sort of fleet you're flying, and give you a half dozen ships that'll be coming along. Then you've got 5 minutes to grab that ship, fit it, and get to the meet up point. That doesn't sound too hard, but you're wasted and new, it can be VERY easy to forget important things like "Ammo". Or "Weapons." I sort of cheated on this, because Khurem (one of our veteran FCs, although he mostly does JUST slosh ops now) called for blackbirds, and I had one on hand. Anyway, now this drunk and confused group of pledges get orders barked at them to go somewhere, then go somewhere else, and then kill something. Usually this means flying deep into enemy territory (IRC being a favorite) and getting into a fight. If you get on the killmail for whatever you and other pledges ganked, you're a brother... if you also manage to make it back alive. If you DO get killed (like I did), you have to fly back out, by yourself, and bring back your corpse (which I did). Then you're a brother and allowed to boss around the other pledges. Delta Theta Delta kind of has a bad reputation in Goonswarm, for three reasons mostly. First, we're 'bad' posters by Goon standards - lots of memes, lots of **, lots of goatse. Second, sometimes the hazing gets out of hand. Rho is known for being really nice to their newbies, so they REALLY hate on us for being so damn mean to the pledges. Plus, sometimes the pledges do stupid and/or dangerous things on brother orders - Kyle Myr, a fellow pledge, once bumped a titan out of the POS because Alikchi ordered him to. Third, we pick on Sigma a lot - like I mentioned before, Sigma is very carebear orientated, so we like to make fun of them. But they also make a lot of isk for Goonswarm, so they have lots of friends. Blawrf, for example, is from Sigma, and from what I hear he's already a billionaire several times over. Basically if you don't like bros, you probably won't like Delta Theta Delta very much. The presidents (yeah, there's two, dunno why) of Theta is Thecrate and Spookydonut. Thecrate is like the Godfather of Theta - if you want something done, she knows people who know people. She's also trans, which sometimes we make fun of, but not in a serious way (if you ever see the stations named Thecrate Sits To Pee, well, now you know why.) But basically a great person to have at your back. Spookydonut is, well... something else. He's the returned character of somebody who was in Goonswarm back it first started, but for some mysterious reason left. He's came back about a year ago, and is in charge of Theta, but nobody is allowed to know who he is, and the brothers who DO know aren't tell. I've heard all sorts of theories on it, from him being Remedial, to him being Karttoon. But basically he's one scary ********, and handles all sorts of logistical . Fly through a jump bridge with a fully loaded freighter, and not warn him first? Spookydonut will have you 'accidentally' set to red and have your freighter blown up. Basically, whoever that mysterious dude is, don't ** him off. A couple other important dude is Ender Capital G, who is in charge of 'training' the pledges, which basically means hazing them as mercilessly as he possibly can. You can't run the gauntlet without his say so, though, so if he tells you to go mine for an hour in an osprey, well, better get to mining. Dude loves to torture pledges with mining challenges, mostly because he hates miners and wants to make everyone else hate mining as much as he does. There's a bunch of other dudes, but I'm getting close to the word limit. Basically life in Delta Theta Delta is getting bossed around by older members, getting drunk and murdering a random stranger, and then getting drunk and getting to boss around younger members, all while making fun of Sigma. Welcome to Goonswarm, I guess.

Psiduct Tape GoonWaffe Goonswarm Federation 0	Posted - 2012.06.26 18:05:00 - [46] - Quote Ivana Twinkle wrote: Uh yea the mining :( Some days when I'm sitting in my mining kestrel in VFK, I think that I'll never make this weeks quota. What's really bummer is that many times some dumb goon will shoot my jetcan. At least the sorting hat didn't stick you in scanning. Having to scan down signatures for superiors all day long can be a real pain. If I get another wormhole, I'm going to shoot your jetcan again. thecrate gets pretty pissed if I don't get him at least one bookmark (preferably maze) per day. Once I kept a 6/10 and ran it myself, thinkin no one would be the wiser. Oh boy did I get in a lot of trouble at the next API audit. At least I didn't get plungerheaded like this guy http://i.imgur.com/D1ivU.jpg (he said o7m8 to a superior).
Agent Type Fweddit I Whip My Slaves Back and Forth 1	Posted - 2012.06.26 18:24:00 - [47] - Quote Father Snuggles wrote: That's pretty much my five cents, if there's anything you'd like to know outside of this, feel free to drop me a line. Right now I have to get back to my hangar because Mister Vee sent out another jabber broadcast in cyrillics that we have to put into google translate first. Something about Delve or so, I don't know. Russians... Fantastic read. I have never been in a null-sec corporation (or null-sec for that matter), but I found it fascinating to get a really in-depth inside perspective on CFC/Goonswarm. Great read, thanks again!
