Goonswarm has done more for raising EVE's profile and gathering new players into EVE than SOMER or any other CCP partner. It is goonswarm that makes international news when we butcher some worthless alliance that barely puts up a fight, or decide to pay half of empire to kill the other half, magic trillions of isk out of thin air by breaking a headline patch feature, or our many other delightful exploits. And we bring a constant stream of new players into EVE, to fill our ranks. Given the precedent set by the SOMER gifts, no player group deserves a free handout more than Goonswarm. And no player website deserves a handout more than goonfleet.com. Now, some people might argue that it would be favoritism to give them to us, as we'd just keep them rather than run a for-profit lottery for the ships to convert them to isk like SOMER would. I assure you nothing is farther from the truth. Rather than have some dumb ship I too will ensure that the ships are available to the EVE public, at the fairest price possible (the highest price the market will bear). That means any EVE player will have a fair chance to get the ship rather than having to lose scads of money in a for-profit gambling scheme. Now, some people might protest that we're only in it for ourselves. And those people certainly have a point: just like a for-profit gambling corporation that maintains its "trust" solely because that keeps the money flowing, we look out for #1. But as we look out for #1, we provide great benefits to the EVE population at large. We spend our vast sums of money creating content and obliterating abscesses on the eve community like highsec miners, and TEST. Some people might also claim that giving us ships would be blatant favoritism. To that, I can say nothing but that I agree - but since CCP has now decided they're openly showing favoritism by gifting hundreds of billions of isk worth of ships to SOMER, surely EVE's most successful alliance deserves some favoritism too. Some might argue that we should not be creating new unique ships, and that may be a fair point: I will happily accept sabre BPOs and other t2 BPOs as a replacement care package. CCP has argued that SOMER is a fitting partner because they are "honest", though studiously avoiding actually claiming they've investigated to determine SOMER is honest and also studiously avoiding promising they would do anything if SOMER just walked off with all the ships. Some might argue Goonswarm therefore does not qualify. To that, I have a simple argument: SOMER openly tells you that it will take your isk, tells you how, and then takes your isk. So too does Goonswarm tell you we're going to take your isk, tell you how we're going to take your isk (after all, our public wiki specifically tells you what's going to happen with your security deposit) and then we take your isk. That is just as honest, if not more honest, than SOMER: after all, our odds are public while you have to do a little math to figure out SOMER's. Do the right thing. Give Goonswarm hundreds of billions of isk. Nay, give us trillions: we are better than SOMER and deserve greater CCP largesse. Thank you for your time, and the sabre bpos we so richly deserve.

I support the OP of this thread in many ways. Please give Goons the same favoritism shown to your internal scam known as SOMER.blink. Everyone knows its CCP already.
Thank you.

I would much rather see the stuff announced to go to blink go to goonswarm. Regardless of what folks say about them they actually use the game to make real game content. CCP, as I said in a different thread reward folks that create game experience within the sandbox as intended. Not some other folks working for personal gain because someone at CCP thinks they are shiny!
Consider this BEEP signing the give the swag to content creators petition.

I'd rather CCP didn't spawn items for any group of players (short of CCP-organized events, i.e. Alliance Tournament prizes are okay). I'm fine with them flying blinged-out ships through space for everyone to shoot; at least that one is transparent and everyone can participate. I'm not fine with them just handing out expensive (or not-so-expensive) stuff to arbitrarily selected people. |

I never claimed greatness, all I see is goons being reduced to metagaming in order to get the shiny stuff that somer blink has been allocated by CCP. That's why you are a stagnant empire, if you've got to resort to **** like that not only are you stagnant, but you've proved that you are past your peak and in decline.

While I might like the overall idea of main post, not because of fairness of fake internet honor, I have to not really like the hole content of main post.
I do understand the idea behind it, I think I do but I'm not completely sure, however it's all about pixels and spaceships destruction. If this brings more spaceships destruction, scams, ganks and whatever the heck meta behind it, I'm all for it. *removed inappropriate ASCII art signature* - CCP Eterne |

I laid out an excellent business plan: we will take CCP's gifts, and sell them to the public, and pocket the proceeds. What more would we need? Wow, I thought getting a jump on expansions was enough of a gift from CCP. I thought game changes that play to Goon strength was enough. But it seems your greedy pie holes need more to be satisfied.
CCP, give the Goons all that they ask for...and more. Just make it on one condition. Give it to them on their own server. Based on their posts the only ones that can satisfy them is...them. This thread has so much content it may be 'Thread of the Year' and it is only January.

Quote:5. Trolling is prohibited.
Trolling is a defined as a post that is deliberately designed for the purpose of angering and insulting other players in an attempt to incite retaliation or an emotional response. Posts of this nature are disruptive, often abusive and do not contribute to the sense of community that CCP promote.
