The only surprising thing to anyone who knows the Goonfleet directorate are the people Rem ****ed off. Cefte, Hoe and Neccette are some of the best directors that GF has and some of the people who worked the hardest for them. They are very levelheaded and extremely dedicated.
Really its not that big a deal. This is one of the few times it has reached such an extreme point but for the most part the directors yell at each other and call each other names as much as possible. I doubt anyone else in this thread has any clue what its like to run a medium/large corp let alone a 2k+ member alliance. I would be more dissapointed if they didnt wonder whether/not SPARTA would hold up and how they would come out of it if they didnt.
Goonfleet is not run like an ordinary alliance. The directors work to keep everyone happy as much as they possibly can. They debate endlessly and work extremely hard so the members have as much fun as possible. The logistics involved in doing anything in an alliance that size are incredible. New techniques have to be thought up frequently to combat the enormous disadvantages and odds that are stacked against them. How to overcome low SP, member ambivalence, few FCs, logistics, lack of capships etc. Most FC's and directors do not even have 6 million SP. Let that sink in. A majority of the people running the corp would have trouble getting into many 0.0 alliances.
Yet Goonfleet is able to set up logistics for 1500 people in a system 20-30 jumps away within a day or two and fight an effective war. Outfitting 1500 pilots who dont have corp hangar access with frigates is no small task. Keeping them outfitted is even worse.
Running such a corp is an extreme challenge and some of the decisions that are made are bitterly contested. To make much of this is foolish and to underestimate Goonfleet even worse.

Originally by: Amorti Goonfleet's director-level discussion forums and channels have been like that since day one. This is why there have been half a dozen significant directorship purges in Goonfleet's nine months of life. With over 2000 members, there are always new people willing to step up and spend a few months learning just what dealing with Remedial is like.
This was perhaps my biggest beef with what remedial was saying. There was also the part somewhere in it where he basically said that he didn't care if senior level directors quit because he could always pull more people up from the ranks who would love to do the job.
I really don't care what sort of activity you are engaged in, such disregard for your subordinates is truly horrendous leadership. Even if the statement is factually correct (which it almost certainly is) making such a statement is just an idiotic thing to do and probably the worst thing you would want to say when trying to run a huge corporation. The larger the corporation the more delegation is necessary in order for it to run smoothly, and the more you delegate the more you need to have trust and faith in those that you delegate authority to. Calling them all basically expendable peons is hardly the way to get that accomplished.

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. |

What? Leo is a tool!
The best part about this is people (Azaeren) posting my personal info (home address and cell phone number) on the GF forums that they got from a WHOIS simply for hosting the site in the original post (I'm just the host, I didn't acquire the files myself.) I'm obviously not worried about people driving by and taking pictures of my house, but it's pretty pathetic. The internet is to be taken very seriously!
Although I've had a couple of nice chats with GF guys over the phone since then, so it isn't all bad, I suppose.

i thought it was quite embarassing and pathetic really. would have prefered at least some more goon sekrets revealed.
only things i gathered were:
- KIA are going to attack D2 for free [not particularly amazing, they probably want to do something "fun" and dont like D2]
- Goons hired BE [well you could look at the BE kb for today and see that. smart move though]
- Goons got the password for a YouWhat POS [hahaha...a bit more interesting]
other than that, yawn.
They also tried to attack branch with posses (like always in US timezone, outside of it, they rarely do anything) and failed miserably 
However, respect to their stubborness, they still dont wanna admit, that they are losing this war and still hire alliances and corps like mad  --------------------------------

Hmm within those Logs there are postings about sharing Remidials account to use the Carrier for refuling POSs.
Heres what Eula says:
"You may not share your Account with anyone, or allow anyone other than you personally (or your minor child, if you have registered an Account on behalf of your minor child) to access or use your Account. Joint or shared ownership or use of an Account by more than one user is prohibited. "
Shouldnt that force CCP to do something?

Originally by: Goonfleet Forums I don't know who's saying that allying with SPARTA is bad, but it does take a whole bunch of otherwise 'safe' space and make it wacky and crazy for D2. They can't rely on their vassals, and the whole region is now plunged into turmoil.
Turmoil is awesome for us. There will be even more when/if ORC leaves SPARTA because they don't want to fight D2, and then civil war will likely break out. But that will require still more attention and effort by D2 and MC, while BE and us ass*****them and take their regions.
At the end of the day, chaos in Dek and the North is awesome for us, as it keeps our foes wrong-footed. The feeling of being out of control and impotent is one of the reasons why D2 is having problems mustering fleets against us; if we keep them reeling like this, they'll disintegrate as the internal strife between their carebears and their pvpers is exacerbated.
tl;dr: chaos good, d2 bad.
Edit: If SPARTA has civil war we will be blameless if MC and D2 crush them, they'll be too busy blaming former NFC and FLA corps for their travails, they won't think twice about us.
See, Sparta, you made the wrong choice. We may not have helped you enough in terms of defence sometimes, but we certainly never ever wanted to stab you in the back or abandon you.
A little bit more time and diplomatic effort would have been all that was needed (granted i wasnt online due to a lung collapse in RL).
Its still not to late. Contact me ingame if you want to talk. --------------------------------

Getting desperate? Give it up, every corp/alliance has these types of discussions about possible/potential allies. I am sure the Sparta leadership board went something like "ally with noobfleet? YEAH RIGHT!"

Losing how?
Even if YW rejoined D2 tomorrow you are would be out numbered in POS in XZH and will quite probably never now dig the goons out at this point.
Seems like war won to me, a nice achievement.
Of course the wider war between the two lines of alliances that are rapidly drawing up has just begun in Deklien. I dont think hiring merc corps is bad, many do it (like you know IRONà), you guys have RISE raiding syndicate (who I donÆt think have quite thought the consequences of GS being forced out of the north too thoroughly..), plus RAZOR, IRON and all those "D2 friendly" corps and alliances.
Originally by: Cmd Woodlouse

How do you figure. Assuming you have the ability to read and comprehend those chat logs, seems to me some of the GF directors were cautious about the SPARTA situation, and Remedial was 100% behind throwing everything into that war should it become the focal point of D2 + friends efforts. Since Remedial is the one left standing after all this drama, I think its fair to say GS will now back SPARTA to the hilt for this war.
Also, something to consider. When D2 first came into XZH to try and force GS out, NFC and SPARTA turned out in force to support.
NFC were camping in 9-4 the entrance to XZH with 50-60 man fleets, and SPARTA were fighting inside the system with dread support fleets.
D2 must have known IRON planned to waltz back into Deklien when their preparation was ready and order a ôweÆre taking over again ******!ö decree.
I donÆt think then that the allies that had come and for days supported you fighting in your war were pleased that your policy on this development turned out to be ômeh. WeÆll ignore it and ally with the winner.ö
Although I may be being a bit generous to you there. DidnÆt take much of an excuse to set NFC -10 did it?

Originally by: deadEd Of course it wasnt helped by the fact that there was obviously plenty of bad blood before it all came to a head, and there will be people leaving over it, it won't seriously impact Goonfleet much, mainly because of Remedial's "grab the devil by the horns" style of leadership. There's a large core of people that would easily follow anything he asked.
POS don't need leadership, they need fuel. Welcome to Alliance Warfare 2.0

Well apart from the refinery system, its the system with all the resources in it... 
I think you're being slightly premature calling SPARTA dead buddy. You dont learn do you. If you couldnt take GS by themselves with the help of razor and half a dozen of your little friendly alliances, I wouldnt call GS, SPARTA and ALEK vs you, IRON and the MC quite a forgone conclusion just yet.
Now lets stop the smack that Woodlouse started (again).

Im just happy to have the great CEO that I have, not a giant egomanical *beep* like remedial obviously is.

every leader is (must be) an egomanic, the only difference here is that remidial doesnt have problems with showing it. :o
Im maybe the enemy of goons but seriously every alliance can be glad if they have someone with such a passion for his alliance. This often results in such "dramas" but u cant blame him for not caring about his alliance and a good leader has to care about the whole thing first and after that u can think about individuals. There are very few strong leaders out there and those are never likely to win a most loved contest.

Last time I checked the map, goons still had sov over xzh. But you didn't want that system, right? So you've lost a system you didn't want, and declare that you've won a war that was over nothing? Talk about tooting your own horn =P

I love the fact that the only info of goons doing anything at all in this war is from alts. Check the killboards, when D2 is not warping into a death star pos goon don't want to rumble. When they choose to they have all advantages and still lose badly. However putting pos's up in us time means they are doing something right.. then yay for their pos spammage. ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
