Originally by: fmercury Remedial is held in complete contempt by 100% of the non-goonfleet goon community. I can't think of a single goon outside of goonfleet that doesn't absolutley despise him.
Most of these folks were closely associated with him in other incarnations of Goon corps, and were left with a decidedly bitter taste in their mouths.
Selection bias. Everyone who doesn't absolutely despise Remedial is still in Goonswarm.

Originally by: Lorth I was just trying to prevent a derail. But how does to conflict call for drones.
I don't know Lorth. Sadly I lack a crystal ball for EVE combat and am unable to predict that our opponents will not muster a support fleet and warp in at close range.
A better question would be why not have our drones deployed? With lag as much of a problem as it is just based on ship numbers alone I would rather be prepared for that one or 2 seconds I'll get to issue a command and already have my drones deployed than not.
Accusations about purposeful lag inducing are completely foundless, and if you require further proof than the myriad Goonswarm posters who say that it is BS, I'd direct you to the scads of ex-Goonswarmers who retain bitterness towards certain members of our alliance to the extent that they would post our director forums. Where are all the bitter ex-Goonswarmers with an axe to grind claiming that we've ever tried to incite lag?
The reality that is readily apparent to anyone not blinded by some bizarre vendatta over a video game is that goonswarm's sheer numbers alone cause lag. When anyone shows up somewhere with 200 ships there will be lag and both sides are victimized it. I've lost my fair share of implants and ships due to lag.

Arguing about the same old stuff is useless. Arguing about who is right and who is wrong does not matter either. All that matters is who has the strength to win. I am not going to offer a opinion about that, and I am not interested in others' opinions about it. So lets keep having space battles and we will find out for real.

I don't despise him, doubt I'm the only one.

Is this the thread where we call each other forum warriors?
I mean I just like my alliance, I like EVE and I glad to be able to be posting about the two on this website. It's not a conspiracy. A lot of us haven't been allowed to post until today so now we're probably just excited to join in the fun, debate or whatever you want to call it.

Something to strongly consider is that, in all likelihood neither side is going to be able to "win" at the current pace and with the current players involved. Really, take a step back and look at the situation: no matter how touted each side thinks their strengths are, there are clearly weaknesses on either side that can be exploited to great effect. This is delightful to some and at the deep, dark heart of bitter denial for others.
Achieving a true "victory" is difficult when dealing with committed alliances, unlike a large number of alliances in game that roll over and play dead or run for the hills at the first sign of trouble. So, heaps and heaps of the overrated "respect" to both sides for at least being committed to this war for whatever their reasons might be.
Go out there and have fun blowing each other up, that's what the game's really about. Well, unless the call of Jitaroids is too strong. |

May I remind you that this is not the place for discussions regarding Goonfleet's tactics. In addition, the discussion of exploits or potential exploits is not welcome on the forums.
Please keep it on-topic in here.

With personal insults like that, I really can't understand why anyone would put up with you Remedial.
I sort of like the idea of the Goons, and I wish them all the best. But in my eyes it doesn't matter how good someone can lead if he can't even act like a adult. I lost count of the number of insults in those 3 pages.

Originally by: Body Count think the hostility is due to your own actions. Goonfleet came out of nowhere with hostilities to NORAD and D2. You come out of nowhere attacking established groups with players who've been in Eve since it's inception. EXPECT HOSTILITIES. *snip*
Oh my.
So, basically, we're n00bs, and how dare we attack and beat people with more sp than us? People with 'established' alliances and two years of training under their belts?
In all honesty, blowing people like you up is the entire reason why Goonswarm exists. With an attitude like that, you're practically begging for it.
Also, we hardly attacked D2 out of nowhere, they've been sending ganksquads to our homeland ever since Tribute. Next!

Well, it seems as though everything is not as bad as I thought it was. I thought the goons had completely imploded and run the risk of falling apart.
Apparently, this level of organized chaos is the accepted approach to running Goonfleet. Whether or not it's good or bad is really not for me to decide, people always have different circumstances.
It's interesting to note that the goons are apparently the newest cults of personalities around. I had thought that with the fading away of guys like Ragnar, that those were things of the past.
One thing about cults of personality though is that the personalities have to be able to withstand the eventual pressures. Those pressures can be big, even more so when the personalities are very outspoken, while having a lot to hide.
At any rate, watching the goons rise from obscurity to prominence has proven to be interesting.

Imagine, if you will, a school bus full of special needs children doped to the gills on crystal meth. Now imagine that you've given them all sharp objects and a few handguns, and convinced them all that what they REALLY WANT is to die for Dear Leader and take someone with them in the process.
Then you take that bus, dump nitrous into the gas tank, supercharge the engine, lock the accelerator at full throttle and point that bus in the general direction of your enemies, and just before you leap out of it you put the most hyperactive of the meth-addicted tard kids behind the wheel and tell him to have fun and that he's an excellent driver.
That's what it's like being a Goonswarm director. It's not pretty, but the fireworks are spectacular. ^_^

Someone needs to post a link to the goonfleet keyboard that was made up recently. Having spent some time on their teamspeak and in gangs I can assure you that it is pretty much an accurate reflection of what's said during ops and idle time

A word of advice if you would accept it: One thing about cults of personality though is that the personalities have to be able to withstand the eventual pressures. Those pressures can be big, even more so when the personalities are very outspoken, while having a lot to hide.
At any rate, watching the goons rise from obscurity to prominence has proven to be interesting. While others seem too enthusiastic to predict Goonfleet's quick demise, I for one do not want it to happen prematurely. I think that the Goons are an interesting new element that must be allowed to reach its full potential, if only for the rest of us to see what can be learned from it. We've kind of fallen in with the rhetorical meaning of our Evolution corpname, and new "mutations" like Goonfleet are a welcome addition to the grand mix of EVE elements.
QTF
I like the Goon style in general. Its unorthodox and i belive that a lot of the hate they get is from the fact they have proven that low SP can be just as effective as a high SP char. T2 gear is not as dominant as it appears. Im a ex EQ player. Quite a high EQ player actually and when i did play, i hated how 'lesser' guilds did things or accomplished raids easier then at the time when my guild was doing it. I believe is a similar situation now.
My only constructive criticism to GF is to chill out. You guys have done dam well against D2. You might not win but you guys have learnt alot. Your 'newb' players if you want to call them that, have more experience in PvP then people who have been playing months. Dont rub it in peoples faces via alts your doing better then people thought you would.

stuff of the past that came up in the NORAD thread where he told everyone that Goonfleet claims Outer Ring?
This is of course because such an act of hostility between any corporations in this game is tantamount to genocide, right? THE FIEND! THE DEVIL! How could he even consider something as dasterderdly as DECLARING WAR ON AN ALLIANCE!

The worst thing about Remedial's joke about smoksie was that it wasn't as funny as it should have been.
Seriously, goons love to make fun of dead people. If Remedial died it would be 10 minutes before we'd be photoshopping his autopsy photos. If dead people want us to stop making fun of them they should stop dying. |

In case this hasn't become bleedingly obvious yet, "Goons" and "Class" don't go together. They never have gone together, they never will go together, and you know what? They don't want it to go together. If anything, watching everyone flip their lid over it will make them that much more inclined to joke about it in the future.
Whether it's concentrated hilarity or a total affront to your sensibilities really doesn't matter a whole lot, since they generally aren't going to try to please anyone but themselves with that sort of thing.

He ovbiusly has some kind of WW2 tick, his ingame picture is Adolf ****** and tbh, he acts on his forums like him. Same for some other goon alts out here, talking about euthanism and other stuff.
Its just disgusting.
