-Perhaps some people need a scapegoat they can blame for their own demise.

Widot ...

English, please. Goon gibberish is incomprehensible.

They paid 15$ to join an internet forum.

inb4 "I didn't pay"

Yeah right, I'm sure you paid twice to get a little picture for your avatar.

so sad.

But this isn't the only reason just part of it. What is the desire to join an internet forum like that? Where does it come from? I would posit it comes from a deep seated desire to be special. To be part of an exclusive club, an "in-crowd" and the community of SA reflects that. Indeed Goonswarm in EVE reflects this mentality, of elitism, false superiority, unabashed neckbeardism.

It's loathsome. I actually loath goons, as people. I very rarely run into them in real life, but when I do I loath them. That guy standing in line wearing sweatpants which aren't fully covering his butt, with his gut hanging out? Wearing a smug look of contempt upon his countenance? Yeah, that's a goon and I hate him.

"I'm happy to pay $$ to be in this group because it doesn't have your group in it who are constantly grouping people"

wow thank you so much for that

I didn't pay. Someone else bought me an account as a gift.

Just so you know, really dumb straw-man arguments like this are also largely absent.

All in all, I'm inclined to ask which of the recent "HEY GUISE I REGEREISTERED HERE TO JOINS YOUR GUILDS TODAY LOL" posters you are. Or are you just really angry at a site you're going to claim you've never visited or registered with?

(see previous comment about the uninformed hating on groups)

There went the idea of a $10 fee as a method of controlling spam...

But interesting intelligence in how easy it's to infiltrate the organization though.

You're having trouble with reading comprehension, remember that guy I described in my first post towards the bottom? I'm poking him with a stick right now.

So, I am basically looking for reasons why people hate the Goons.

I really don't see a valid reason for it, except for of course, they are so successful and we envy you for that.

Anyway, here's a list of possible reasons, plus their debunk.

You got ganked during Hulkageddon.
Well, you were warned WAY WAY WAY in advance, in fact, you couldn't even log into the game without being WELL notified of the event.
Therefore, any loss of mining barge during this period, in name of the goons, is entirely on you not paying attention and not being part of the eve community ( more likely, you are just here to make isk per hour and F anything else is your average attitude )

You got ganked during burn Jita
Basically, same rules apply.

You were part of a sov holding corp that got booted out by Goons.
Well, it's the name of the game I'm afraid, you failing to hold that sov, has nothing to do with them cheating or anything, more with them applying the superior tactics and mentality.
Again, this is not a reason to hate, merely a reason to envy.


And now, the TEST thing, why so many people seem to help TEST, simply because they hate the Goons.
You guys do know TEST got hold of sov because Goons helped them right?
You guys also know they were friendly towards each other for a really long time right?
You guys do know TEST backstabber the Goons first right?
So, considering this, if any of the above mentioned reasons for hating Goons is your reason for hating Goons, why are you helping a backstabbing alliance?

The enemy of my enemy is my friend right?
Well, all it's gonna do is replace "evil" with a new "evil" ( in case TEST manages to succeed somehow ).


So basically, all I'd like to know is, could you post why you hate the Goons? and also, please refrain from using the already mentioned reasons, unless you have something constructive to say about my debunking.

I donGÇÖt feel sorry for them at all. They made their bed let them lay in it. With any luck they will get wiped off the map like BOB was.

KARMA.....

Im not sure you quite understand what karma is supposed to be


So I shall assume you are using the popularist variant of its meaning

There's no "organisation" - it's a forum that anyone is free to join. SomethingAwful is not a website run by or for people who play Eve - in fact the overwhelming majority of goons don't play the game find eve players quite insufferable which is something we can all relate to

Goons are a good thing
Goons are a great thing
Goons are the best thing.

I'm aware it had 2 different murderers who posted there too

Im not sure you quite understand what karma is supposed to be


So I shall assume you are using the popularist variant of its meaning

Here's a description drawn in crayon to be explicitly clear:

Americans love to root for the underdog.

Underdog meets the Goons.

Underdog loves honey.

Underdog kills the hive in the process.

Underdog is cheered as the hero for removing the pests.

If you live by the sword, you will die by the sword.

That's Karma.

I'm pretty sure building bad relationships that negatively effect you later falls under all the definitions of karma.
