Troll? Far from it. I'm actually very curious why Goons have decided that empire is the "next big thing".
a) Are they cascading and need new stimulus to stem an exodus? b) Perhaps BlueNull is quite true and there are no more goodfights to be had? c) Perhaps it's just that Mittens hasn't got the balls to take on real enemies and his sheep are hungry?
I really don't know and I'd like to since this is my game too.

However, I'll take the reference as long as we're not tarred with the same brush. I really do have Eve's interests at heart. I have nothing to gain callling it how I see it. Take an aspirin. If pain persists consult your local priest. |

Absolutely true. But it CAN change the behaviour of the players within that space; none have the capabilities or resources to defend or act against it.
So we all get to enjoy being part of yet another Mitten's social experiment. Don't even have to join the Goons! Take an aspirin. If pain persists consult your local priest. |

Quote:Isn't it just...adorable...how Mittens thinks he actually matters? Unfortunately he does.
Being head of the (2nd) largest alliance in Eve and a self-confessed meglaegomaniac should be quite disturbing to Eve players. It ensures that even if only half his sheep don't have enough brains for singular thought motion, he can rely on 3000+ members to act on his behalf.
It's the stated reason for the Goons existence. i.e. "Making everyone else's life a misery".
I'm more worried that people believe it. The very fact that through his guaranteed position on the CSM and subsequent cheap political shock "I'll make it public" tactics he uses, he is REALLY starting to affect the enjoyment for other people.
IMHO. The Mittani and his henchmen are more a threat to Eve's survival than any DRF will ever be.
Sure it's a game. But it's my game too.

The fact that Mittens can inspire threads like this is proof that his "delusions of grandeur" aren't really delusions. Also, The Apostle, does your tinfoil hat still work under that hood? |

Seriously though, it really does look as if Mr The Apostle is a FANGER PAPIT of the The Mittani. Until threads about that dumb article he wrote were spammed here i'd never heard of him. The Goons just seem to be a stew of those sexually confused types that are halted developmentally in that 'messing with people' phase of adolescence. No great plus to the game, no real problem either. Are we to look forward to a weekly content-free thread here about A Mittani's ultra-ordinary desire to be an important person at the center of something big? What fun! |

Truer words have not been written anywhere on these forums.
Messing with HiSec in any way is a very dangerous thing to do.
"If it ain't broke, don't fix it"
Whatever Goons or other alliances say, the majority of players (who do not participate in these forums), are HiSec.
Leave HiSec alone !! (This space for rent) |

Change the behavior of people in high sec? Why would that concern you? Who are YOU to want MY behavior changed? Personally, I'd like to see YOUR behavior changed, but I'm not going to advocate changing the game dynamics to accomplish that. Some things are not under ones purview, this being one.
Here's an idea. You stay out on the end of the map where you think all the cool kids are, and I'll stay in my little inconsequential corner. You behave like you wish. I'll do the same.
Change our behavior...pffft. My hubris meter broke on that one.

Forgive my ignorance being an Aussie and all. What is this? If it's sposed to be "finger puppet", 'fraid not.
Not knowing "The Mittani" in his role as CEO of Goons and Chairman of the CSM (The purported Eve player representative committee) is probably not unusual if you only breath highsec space dust.
But I suspect you'll get to know his band of merry men soon enough.  Take an aspirin. If pain persists consult your local priest. |

Ok pubbies, here's some realtalk. The way you play the game in highsec is horrible. Mining for hours on end while making tiny amounts of isk, running level 4 missions until your eyes bleed, playing 1-isk trading games in Jita and whatever other lame activities you take part in while confining yourselves to .5 space and higer. We can't sit back any longer and let you ruin your lives this way. We're going to teach you to actually have fun in this horrible game and it will be glorious.

I said your behaviour will be changed. I don't WANT any of high-sec changed, either by CCP hands or by Goon raids on Carebears.
Quote:I'm not going to advocate changing the game dynamics to accomplish that. Some things are not under ones purview, this being one. Then perhaps you need to read a bit more and see what mutterings are being made for empire space - by nullsec alliance chiefs. (CSM members among them).

Quote:Goonswarm Shrugged: An Empire Drama
You may not be interested in Goonswarm. But Goonswarm is interested in you.
Once our victims in Delve slump into dejected acceptance and we start to race through their sovereignty, Weaselior (with help from Kazanir and Aryth amongst others) has come up with a plan to inflict some amazingly widespread misery on those we hate. GÇ£Those we hateGÇ¥, as you know, includes (but is by no means limited to) everyone in Eve, including ourselves. And so it is with this super-secret plan. Stage one is already underway, and if you respond to my nagging and grant Vee and Dbrb some sizable fleets over the next week or so then weGÇÖll roll it out and you will see some hilarity.
To clarify what's going down. QFT.

So, let me get this straight. You're so inundated with fun stuff in null sec that you're going to have to trudge all the way to empire space to war dec en masse in order to prove how immersively engaging null sec really is. It's not surprising such reasoning would lead one to believe people doing what they want to do is horrible when it's not what you'd do. Horrible for you, maybe. Then inductive reasoning would beg the question: If it's so hot, why aren't you out there doing it?
I know the answer to all this, cause I'm psychic after all the hallucinogenics I imbibed as a child. You're so bored in null sec you'd come to empire to nickel and dime your way through ill-equipped and under trained new players just to have an excuse to boot the game. Let's see. Then you'd call this A Brilliant Stroke.
Add to this proudly pointing to your ever expanding killboard filled with shuttles, and Probes, and Merlins - the big stuff, and pods (of course) with the grinning expectation you may have hit an implant, or two. Wow.

Thats the thing though.. nothing you said is actually true. Mining for hours is extremely profitable. Running level 4 missions is probobly one of the most profitable things you can do in Eve today next to 1sk trading games which yield multiple billions for people on a weekly basis.
So while you may see them as boring and lame activities, to claim they aren't profitable only shows how little you actually know about it.
The proposed changes to High Sec are the direct result of these observation about high sec activities. They are so profitable and so worthwhile (if ISK is what you are after and most people are) that going into low sec and null sec comparitiavly can only be described as "idiotic" by comparison.
This is the part I think they are attacking in terms of proposed changes. The proposed change can essentially be boiled down to "Make High Sec Less Profitable".
The observation that people would quit by the thousands if this were to happen is I believe quite accurate given that High Sec is the only reason the large majority of people in Eve play this game.
On a side note, I don't get why thats the case either and I agree most High Sec activites are so boring you have to wonder what exactly drives people to sit in front of their screen for hours to ISK pretend digital ISK when they have no plans to put that ISK to anything useful other than making more ISK. The whole High Sec lifestyle just lacks ambition yet its repeated by daily by such a large portion of the population I can't help but feel like I've missed something. |
