First, the Picard / Deanna Troi quote was simply, freaking amazing. My corp got such a laugh over that it is imo, a classic. So true it is, and I got just a little bit more respect for Remedial for that than I had before :D
One thing to remember about GF, is that they are a culture and a community seperate from the majority of those who play eve. They are a rather excitable and outrageous group of people, so the conversations you saw there were not as unbelievable or outside of the norm for them as you'd think. I kinda know, we've got several Ex-GF in our corp, most (all?) of which were some of the original directors of that corp, and the stories they've relayed make this post seem like just any other day.
Though, one problem I do see with Rem's abusive behavior at times, is that he is alienating and driving out people who are compitent, and good at what they do. I was sure the day I agreed that we would let Leo McGary into our corp was a day that would mark the beginning of the end for my stay in CONIN. However, the guy has become both an asset to our corp in many ways, and also a great guy to hang out with. The other GF that we've let in have at times, been a bit "retarded" due to their GF roots, they've definately met our expectations for any of our members and some have excelled beyond our expectations.
It's truely, for GF, a sad thing that they lost those capable leaders, and that they do have these "purges" and have to keep replacing them with less experienced, and possibly less qualified people.
All in all though, one thing you can gather from this post is the behind the scenes scheming that these guys do. One thing I will always know regardless of how often they have surprised me, I could never trust Remedial or GF leadership in it's current form. They thrive on scheming and manipulating allies and situations for their own gain. While it's probably fun to roleplay that, the problem is eventually you get a lot of enemies, and you can then only hope you're strong enough to fight them all. |
