Allow me to use a food analogy. The Galaxy is not unlike a dank Garlic Knot. It swirls and glimmers with a host of entities that are just along for the ride. One such entity is goons.
A garlic Knot is good except when it isn't, a fine balance needs to be maintained. If it has too much salt, its is bad. Too much pepper? Also bad.
Goons are like the oil of the garlic knot. They are soaked up as a cultural narrative and sublimated into a evil boogie man. In reality Goons are no more evil than any other seasoning on this dankest of knots. That said too much of any one thing on a garlic knot makes it undesirable and unpalatable. (except garlic, never too much)
Right now people are throwing buzzwords like power projection and blue donut. These are manifestations of a knot trying to rationalize its gradual degradation of yummyness. For EvE to be good again and not die the CFC needs to become less, the knot must dry out somewhat so it is less soggy with goon oils.
Oily goons can invade stuff (that they don't already own) and in so doing act as a catalyst for change (good or bad). Baring that another entity must cause the oily goons to evaporate to the point where balance is restored.
The CFC has no problem with violating NIPs and OTECs, yet expect others not to ever do so. This is like when the person tells you they are over the legal limit in knot sales to a single person. Some rules are meant to be broken.
This is a call to arms, invalidate all contracts. All deals off the table. All people RESET all people.

Strangely enough, the only entity to "not understand this concept from inception" is the goons.
Very odd analogy, but you're preaching to the choir.
Perhaps todays SUPER-IMPORTANT-ANOUNCEMENT from CCP Seagull is a sign that will herald in a new era where this 'misunderstanding' can't not manifest. Perhaps. *signature is not allowed on the EVE Online forums* |

How about a donut analogy ....
Instead of scoffing down blue donuts & getting fat, try a red jammy donut instead.
... does that help with your comprehension?

This is understandable.
I am trying to use a food analogy to explain something otherwise very complicated. EvE is about a chaotic balance and Goons are disrupting that balance. CSM 9 Candidate Philanthropist Polymath Savant Hero |

Now maybe I am going to sound a little crusty here, but this post leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I find your food analogy hard to swallow. How long did you spend cooking up this idea? It's half-baked honestly. I think people should take it with a grain of salt instead of peppering it full of holes.
Now, let's have some more crumby ideas we can really sink our teeth into! |
