Hello.
I'm a player with a medium level of combat experience in EVE, looking to get into fleet command.
However, I'm not sure what kind of nullsec group to join. I probably wouldn't join the "rus" coalition as I only speak English, so that leaves N3 or Goons for the major blocs.
From the picture the Mittani paints on his site, the Goonswarm have great camaraderie with their fellow alliance members.
Anyway, I'd like to ask, are Goons friendly to their (non main corp/something awful) members? Are they very supportive of letting somewhat new players learn how to command fleets? |

Yeah.
I can't speak much for individual goons, but policy-wise they are good to new players, don't get snooty over SP and have a good ship replacement program (unless you lose a ship to Harry Forever). |

But remember, if you ever get one of our alliances on your employment history you will become a terrible honorless no skill blobber. ^^ Delicious goon ((tech nerf, siphon, drone assist, supercap)) tears.

GSF has always had its fair share of trolls. But I would say equal to all the other big alliances as well. The community just talks about goonswarm more because it is the melrose place of EVE online. Something clever |

I don't think there's any rule that says random joe can't take out a fleet somewhere, as long as he's not flying something uber expensive, distracting from strategic ops that need to be done, or shooting things he's not supposed to shoot. Anyone that dies would also be eligible for peacetime reimbursement. Latest video - Pandemic Legion titan and supers killed |

Can't say for N3, but the little bees will either destroy you or coddle you. No middle ground. They are both one of the most newbie friendly corps and the worst scammers.
Roll the dice and see what happens. Don't forget to tell us how it goes.

Mr Amril-Kesh you are a famous figure in the Goonswarm community, is the GSF culture generally friendly?
Is it easy to make friends in GSF? |

Hello, I am interested in the other members of the CFC.
However, I have heard that groups like GENTS and LAWN more often stick to their own space and don't fight as much.
I've also heard that RAZOR has a "no smack talk" policy, which doesn't appeal to me. |

fact is, wehn ANYONE can say something, and be interpreted as the voice of an entity other than themselves, common courtesy, respect, and any sort of dignity go right out the window, leading to MANY groups getting a rep for pure trash talk, poor sportsmanship and racist/discrimatory behaviour.
its usually easier to tell people to shut the hell up than to try and educate them on whats appropriate.
there are other more game-related reasons aswell, but for most groups they at least mention my point as a valid reason. |

Just to be clear, you have already been a member of SA for at least 3 months right? And active?
Yes, if you meet their guidelines and follow their instructions they will take care of you. If you don't follow their instructions, they will pop you for the lols. In all, I enjoyed flying with goons. But it is not for the type of person that is offended easily. Lots NWS links and talk in mumble or fleet chat.
If you aren't an active 3 month SA member and want to fly with the Goons, seek admittance in a CFC member. Because you disdained all my counsel, and my reproof you ignoredGÇö I, in my turn, will laugh at your doom; will mock when terror overtakes you; -- Ultimate Griefer's Handbook |

Yeah. Definitely join SA, talk about your desire to join Goonwaffe, and apply right at the 3 month mark. That'll be sure to get you in. Latest video - Pandemic Legion titan and supers killed |

I'm not sure tbh. My alliance was part of CFC but I was never a Goon. I just know from reading their application page that it is a hard requirement. Flying with them is a total riot. They treat their own, and their friends well. Everyone else is a mark.

Yes Diamond Zerg.
Please keep us abreast of your efforts to join goons. I am thinking I would like to also apply to play with the cool kids, but am afraid I am just too dorky. Most people viewed Orwell's writings as a warning. The harper regime and the goons treat them as a guidebook. |
