So you complain about the existence of other forums that deal with eve. Ok.

That discussing ended at about the same time as Goonswarm lost Delve - and not in the way you seem to assume it did.

Nowadays the pubbies run the asylum and the ~truegoons~ have left towards greener pastures (winning EVE, joining PL, ...)

You didn't explain why you feel it needs to be stopped.

They have the same opportunities. They can form their own alliances and invite their own friends from their own social communities and tell people they hate them because they post too much on forums. Nothing is preventing them from doing that.

i dont haev a reddit account, im in TEST. mad because rejected bro?


wololo

Confirming that only reddit users are allowed in the HBC, and that only Something Awful members are allowed in the CFC.

It seems he was refused because he makes too many dumb threads on Reddit.

There is only 1 group that actually does what you say that I've seen, and that's Goons. TEST usually run around calling themselves ****, and they do have some corps that openly recruit. Goons go under a different motto.

In other games they are pretty much the same. WoW for example had Elitist Jerks, which ironically merged into Goons.

Yeah seriously, did you walk out yesterday and get primaried by an Alphafleet or something?

The OP gives a whole new meaning to the words "entitled hisec pubbie"

ITT someone realizes that local is **** in game, much like the OP here. Congratulations Preencleeve, and thanks for the :tenbux: again. I'm sure the overlords appreciate it.

You stalked The Mittani, you shitposted on SA, and now you feel 'persecuted'?

This gets better and better

Get out.

No, you're just madder then a bag full of cats, and you don't get that you really need to spend more time meeting real people and socialising rather then going onto internet forums or spaceship games, getting trolled due to previous situation vis a vis bag of cats and then going nuts when you take it personally.

This is like, what, the 3rd time I've seen you start publicly posting stuff which is just going to attract that sort of attention?

Just trying to give you some advice, but hey knock yourself out.

Why would you want to be a part of TEST or Goons OP?

Good luck o7.

Weren't you perma'd?

I see a lot of threads wherein pubbies say "Let's work together to stop goons"

I have yet to see a decent attempt at it or a good reason as to why goons should be stopped.

Preencleeve,

Please stop posting and get some professional help. This culture of elitism that you're trying to campaign against really isn't there. I'm in Dreddit with a reddit account that has zero posts to it, and beyond the trash talking in local there is no elitist attitude that all TESTies and Goons have toward the rest of EVE. Sure we sperg about our enemies and point out their flaws, but that's no different than any other coalition or alliance in the game. Goons and TEST rejected you because of who you are, not because of their origins or cultural perspective.

Just stop while your right now. You need to step away from the computer and go have a real life. Find some to talk to who will hear you out, a friend or a professional, and sort out your problems. That's my professional opinion as an educator.

I'm in special education so a little of everything. I mostly work with kids with emotional or behavioral issues. I can't say for sure if you would be recommended for one of my classrooms (it's not easy to assess someone over forum posts, chat logs, and sound bytes) but based on what I've heard and seen your best option is stepping away from the keyboard and talking to someone face to face who will hear you out.

Hm, do I get you right that you're sort of a White Knight trying to help newbie players like me so they have a chance to get into CSF?

Too much effort, at least for me. Who wants to join the winning side and the mainstream? The poor scrubs and underdogs are much more appaling.

you mean, the exact thing test provides?

you just seem like some bitter person who hasn't got a clue about the topic at hand here.

This is true but your obsession with Goons and TEST, which has gone on for at least a year is not good. You started out idolizing Goons, was recruitment scammed, then got an SA account which was banned for some reason I don't know and then developed a hatred for Goons and their affiliates because you felt your character was attacked when it really wasn't. Your efforts to get into TEST play out pretty much the same way.

Seriously, this type of obsession born from a misplaced hatred is unhealthy. Get help.

You mean https://wiki.goonfleet.com/Joining_GoonWaffe is a scam ?

Posting in a legendary thread.

so yeah now that you've told everyone who you are

got your mom's credit card ready for another account?

ok.. serious post time.


The rejectionist culture you speak of is something I have also noticed. As an aspie I often find myself at odds with people who have stupid methods or ideas. This does not mean I am unable to tolerate and "blend in" to various cultures both online and in the real world. The truly interesting fact is that out of all the cultures I have encountered the only one that I am quite literally unable to emulate or blend in too is that of SA/Goons.

The concept of harsh rejection-ism is not alien to me however the level of intensity and consistency of it within the SA community is beyond my ability to fathom. They want to perpetuate this image that they are "hip" and "cool" while they are really just a bunch of people themselves. They are essentially hipsters but far more intelligent and culturally sophisticated.

The truth is that cultures like SA and goonswarm simply cannot survive in the real world as a legitimate culture without at least some level of compromise. For the SA forums that level of compromise is the strict forum rules that hold everything about their culture in place and prevent it from rotting in its own smug grandiosity. No such level of compromise exists in the eve universe and as such goons that would normally keep their bad posting to FYAD or OIFY simply bad post when ever they feel like it on the eve forums.

hey prencleeve i realize that i'm basically just reiterating what you have been told so many times by now but this is v. serious:

you have been at this little game for over a year now. consider that: over a year's worth of your free time (which is a lot of free time) dedicated to a fight that you cannot win and for a dumb cause

consider what other people your age are doing, probably playing games outside while gaining an understanding of social cues, acceptable behavior, boundaries, etc. which are useful things to understand considering that, you know, people your age are doing things like dating semi-seriously, and later on those things will help you when you have a real job

again, what have you been doing while your schoolmates are doing these things? throwing away your free time for the sake of a fight you will never win.

think 'bout that for a while and then consider the whole "spend the rest of this wednesday afternoon gaining nothing" thing

This was the obvious joke but I was afraid of making it. You get a like.

Many people with autism lead great and productive lives.

You should learn their ways.

Well, there are no people like you, there is just you.

Since you are quite a bit older than Prencleeve, you should talk to him about your experiences in social situations and your techniques for handling them.
Maybe after talking to a likeminded individual he will see that it is possible to get help, even if it is just by talking to a friend about your issues instead of making threads like this.

I don't know, I figured "hey, other dudes your age are kissing girls and you're fighting for some ~noble~ e-cause that you can't win anyway" would drive the point home

I haven't flipped burgers in 20 years.

I actually have the luxury of never having to work again. I'm retired, I bullshit on the forums during the day while palying EVE, go to the bar at night with my little brother, and pick up women much younger than me.

Some people need a shovel, rope, and lime. Others of us are just cool dudes.

You should, people actually like me.

Oh noes

Were your feelers all hurt?

>Insert link to carebears running from a monster and/or link to Hello Kitty Online here<

How awful for you.

I think you are still missing the point. It's not always about winning.
Sometimes it's about doing the right thing even if that means never achieving your goals.

I could be out kissing girls and losing my virginity but I have chosen a different lifestyle for right now. I have made a fair trade because some day I will be able to have a job I enjoy and a pay that allows me to spend money on other people. Instead of "kissing girls" I sit at home and do research or bury my face in a book for a time. I do more in a day than most normal people do in a week.


Now I am unsure what PG hopes to gain by making the trade he is. I will say no you normally can't have both. I tried it. My work inevitably spills over into my social life. Telling girls about pedophiles of furries you have been tracking isn't exactly an ice breaker or something that stimulates a romantic environment. If I can find a girl who gets turned on by vigilante justice and gets hot at the idea of a guy who knows more about her anatomy then she does then it could work.

That's rare though.

Make it easy PG. Choose one or the other.

well i guess thats one way to spin it. v0v

Anslo, did you hack Preencleve's account?

Thanks for this

I love you.


Mittens would have to log into Eve in order to not undock from VFK though.

Came back and was surprised Preen hasn't exploded in a beautiful wordy cloud of rage yet proclaiming that he wishes to be banned. Perhaps he has improved.

Doubt it, I'll wait.

Ahh there it is. Only took all day.
