(other than giving all your **** to goons  ) Aside from the fact that their very corp name announces their intentions, a quick google search reveals somewhere in the neighbourhood of 18 million tear filled posts from people just like you who got their wallets ganked by our beloved goonswarm. How did you fall for this? This is a serious question. Well idk I'm not exactly a veteran or by any means experienced in eve outside Highsec. Also it really wasn't much to lose for me. I have 8 accounts, 4 miners, 1 orca pilot, 1 freighter pilot, 2 pve toons, all of which have maxed P.I. skills and I can make 1-3B in a day so its not even a setback just a lesson learned. I was trying to get escape highsec but I guess Im not ready, gotta research some more. Live and learn I will still continue to play the game till the end.
Your name is apt friend. Eve punishes the ill-informed quite severely.
Leaving Highsec is as simple as clicking the jump button, but it's not highsec you need to escape. It's the carebear mentality. Stop hoarding ISK and resources and start interacting with the community and learning about the game. Noone cares how much ISK you make in a day or how fast you can make it back. If that's all you take away from this experience than I am afraid you are doomed to be a slave to your wallet (and by extension hi-sec safety) until you unsub out of boredom.
If anything you should thank the Goon who wrecked your wallet for freeing you from slavery and showing you the sandbox.
My 2c anyhow.

Oh god, my sides.
You wanted to be a Goon so I have zero sympathy for you.
But please, keep up the good work; you brought a ray of sunshine to an otherwise dull day.

I thought it was common knowledge that Goons don't recruit in game, only through their forums. Well, I want to feel bad for you OP but the fact that you actually wanted to be a member of the most hated alliance in the game stifles that somewhat.
Maybe try Pandemic Legion next, they're only the second most hated alliance and not quite as bad.  |

Goonswarm recruiting to kill there new members and take some of there stuff???
So today I was looking for a Corp which was in null, and that I can help support with my 8 accounts being a huge industry guy and all. A couple days ago I was invited by Lyeni of Outer World Industries [-OWI-] in Goonswarm Federation. Made it sound interesting in joining, was really just wanting to get into a corp with a settled Null system and continue playing the game and make billions a day again. However that was not the case with this story. Instead they had me pack up some things send over X via contract to haul over join the corp and jump my freighter out. Then I was tackled and killed and podded, they wanted me to eject ( lols ) I didn't. My total lose at the end of the day roughly 4b. Yes that is a good amount of money, and well I guess I was not cool enough for the Goons of EVE, it means little. Could I have prevented it? maybe if I wasn't so trustworthy idk?
Just thought I should share my story for the day for all to laugh at, or learn from or whatever you want. Life goes on and I will make my isk lose back in acouple days doesn't really matter when you have 8 accounts, just a shame I couldn't join.
Goonswarm don't need new members you would think, and you would be right.
When weapons, technology, and economies mature faster than the leadership culture entrusted with them, disaster ensues.

Goons are the kind of people that will never amount to anything in their real life so they have to pretend like their badass in a video game. In other words, the scum of the Earth (and New Eden). Do you actually believe this horseshit? Or is this some kind of RP?
I'd say that he rather does not believe that Goons RP being scum, but rather are that both in real life and in game. I disagree with him, but then again, my exposure to Goons might have been rather different than his. And... not all Goons would admit RPing, because they fear the stigma of the word needlessly. I myself RP'd being NCO in the army when I was promoted to that post. I am far from being leader of any sorts, but I managed to pull it off quite well. Now that was quite a LARP experience (I do call army as LARP camp with occasional live ammo).

I will agree with this even though a very similar incident happened to me a few months ago with the goons. I got hit by the sandbox and realized the game then wasn't for me. But i needed my eve fix and when i returned recently i decided to become more detached from my wallet and more of a part in the sandbox itself. After being a carebear for a long time i finally got my first 2 killmails yesterday, even though i wasn't able to contribute as much as i wanted.
Having said that, and not believing all goons are bad people there is a certain disposition within the Goonswarm Federation which promotes scamming, Un-sportsmanship and most definitely a leak of ill-behavior in real life. Eve is a game, yes but the emotions generated from it are quite real and resonate outside it as friendships can be built and broken, as well as people being cheered or frowned upon...Or even worse.
A prime example of this is from the CEO of the Goonswarm itself at the 2012 Fanfest, with a link to his live speech here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbYNLmtAMAw.
Again, i am not saying all goonswarm members are like him but i like to say in eve what say in real life "Show me your friends, i'll tell you who you are". What each person makes out of it is up to them

Even I know that they only take people in by referal or by being a member of Something Awful for more than three months.
It's like a secret society, or the freemansonry! I heard they even have hazing rituals for new members! And secret meetings! And they use funny hats during those meetings! They even encourage their members to do recruit scams actively just to make membership super exclusive! |

You're wrong. Newbies are a much beloved protected species within Goonswarm, and we generally don't target newbie pubbies either. See, we actually understand that a bumbling cute newbee today will turn in to a battle hardened jar-headed bee with time and cultivation. Not that you'd know, since your own corp has a 60 million SP minimum requirement and many others within your coalition have 50 million SP minimums.
