yes, it's bob's fault that this all happened.
you people really are pathetic, seriously...
(i used to respect the SA community but this is absurd)
It happened years ago and Bob, d2 etc. have been dragging it out every time goonfleet or remedial are mentioned. It was a tasteless and disgusting joke that most people in goonfleet would like to never hear about again. But guess what, Bob and D2 love to bring it up as often as possible because they are sick people who would rather discredit us than leave the poor guy alone.
If it was that lame and tasteless (not just to the rest of us but to you too) you'd give an apology. (If one is already posted, linkage plz) Maybe then we wouldn't hate.

I think dredging up a 4 month old private reference to a year-and-a-half old tragedy is certainly the proximate reason this matter is once more in the public eye.
If BoB doesn't need pretexts and excuses to attack, then why are they indulging in such a tasteless display over this? They could (and should) have simply announced that they were out to get us without reigniting this incredibly crass controversy.
Question ... and this is honestly just a request for information here from an utterly uninvolved, bored at work, yet interested party: I heard that the issue was that the 4-month-old reference was still in active use? That would seem to make a big difference.
Dredging up an old, apologized for insult: kinda dumb Running out a patience for an insult that was never removed or apologized for: not so dumb

Here's the kicker, baby.
BoB are only used to one response in this video game: people reacting to them by going 'oh god not in the face please not my spaceship'. So they don't understand goons.
We know the difference between the game and reality, which has clearly become blurred for a lot of you. A BoB guy actually posted 'the internet is the same as real life'. And he wasn't kidding.
So when you go "I'm going to blow up your spaceship on the internet", you expect us to boo-hoo and cry like the other people who are so sucked into this game that they take it with deadly seriousness.
Goons, by contrast, point at you and cackle because even though you may be the best at internet space, you're still a joke. You are a joke because you take yourselves so very, very seriously, and you are a joke because you have bought your own propoganda and now honestly expect us to 'be afraid' because some man with a silly name like SirMolle is threatening us.
Threatening us in internet space.
Tears of laughter, my darling, tears of laughter.

An apology won't do a damn thing. You will just say we are scared, and trying to back down from the fight. Apologies have been posted in the past, and you continue to dredge it up.

Tetsujin posted an apology in the first (locked, now mod hidden I believe) thread on the topic today. I have yet to see anyone from BoB apologize for any aspect of this fiasco.

Yeah. Crowing from BoB forum *****s and the various d2 allies who are ecstatic to see us attacked aside, I think that in the long term this is going to do far more harm to BoB's reputation than it will to ours. It may be that BoB doesn't care about that, or maybe they think everyone is scared enough of them that it doesn't matter, or that they've built up enough respect over time that they can brush these negatives off without long-term consequences. Maybe they're even right. But it all comes out in the wash eventually. I think BoB's cheap forum manipulations have spent more political capital than our tasteless jokes have lost us.
Sorry, but once again i call BS. I know a lot of you desperately want to believe it's all BoB's wrongdoing... this is all a conspiracy and fake... etc. Fine. Posture all your want but nobody is buying it.
If this is "all in the past" and Goons' position is not to touch it, then:
1. Why flame and flame on every thread on the matter? Defending Tetsujin's behavior (maybe you need to control your kiddies on the forum)
2. Why post a formal announcement that Tetsujin was punished, removed from Goons and that this behavior was deemed unacceptable, then turn around and remove the punishment?
Sorry, but all this doesn't add up by any means of simply reasoning.
If the GS position is "hey, this happened a long time ago, we're sorry it happened and we're dropping the subject" then fine. However, your behavior doesnt follow this rhetoric and nobody accepts the cheap ploys to hold a moral highground.
You can rant on and on (without proof) that BoB is merely using this whole "care about a real life person" thing as an excuse to attack Goons... but the facts remain. People DO care about him. People ARE offended. Goons ARE defending this behavior. Goons ARE flaming once again on the forums without cause.
You cant have it both ways... pretending to be sorry and holding the moral high ground.... while having your kiddies flaming and your allegeded moral position compromised by even letting Tetsujin back in after stating the behavior was unacceptable.
Goons are not on the same page here... so again, my advice is yall put a ban on forum posting and look inwards instead of pointing fingers at everybody else.

Which is it?
Tetsujin's sig on our private forums contained a metajoke about the whole Smoske controversy. It depicted a bunch of emoticons jumping aboard a truck labeled "bandwagon" which was all set to run over poor Smoske. Tetsujin happened to post that sig in our public information forum without thinking about it. A BoB member dug it up from three or four months ago and then posted it here.
The whole thing is a farcical beat up designed to conceal BoB's true motives for getting involved in our current war, whatever they may be. They could have declared war on us at any time since the creation of goonfleet, since the tasteless jokes about Smoske predated the creation of goonfleet by a wide margin. Instead apparently their rage boiled over right at the pivotal moment of an ongoing war that had nothing to do with them until they decided to dredge up Tetsujin's sig from months ago.

So if we're losing every fight, and we suck compared to you in every way, why was that slick little deal proposed by Trillian?

1. Cause flames is what we usually get in this forum, no matter how civil we might try to be.
2. The apology and punishment were honest when we thought BoB's anger was honest. When it turns out it isn't, it gets retracted because we won't bow down to BoB's dirty tricks.
This is not condoning any jokes. As far as I'm concerned, an official apology to all of Eve apart from BoB still stands. If BoB wants to play spaceship shooty shooty, they should stick to that, and not continue in D2s vein of constantly dredging up sad events that they milk for all their worth.

Aye well just looking at my own alliance kb it's 2000 ships incl. pods for an estimated 17bill we've gone through in a month. We're not even around for a 1/3 of your losses I would estimate. So the dreads you've killed are a **** in the ocean compared to what you've lost tbh. Good thing you got your logistics sorted to cope with this kinda stuff. :)

Dude this is a game. I don't think anyone in this game is or will ever be afraid of me or my friends. I don't think that blowing up a ship makes me more important than anyone else.
Just take a look at your own post, you are acting like some crazy religous dude that trying to convince me that I'm not worthy and that I think I'm better than everyone else and claim I don't see any differense between rl and a game.
You make falls assumpions and it make you look stupid.

and my advice is to stop fellating BoB, in the hope that they'll be your bestest friends. if you knew smoske and if you're angry about what was posted, fine, say so. but BoB's e-peen is massaged enough by themselves without their needing you.

Quite frankly if the eve community made a sincere attempt to apologize to goonfleet for constantly trolling the deceased in order to paint our members in a negative light I am 100% sure we would return the favor and drop the entire subject, tasteless jokes and all. For that matter if Smoske's father contacted Remedial (that jerk!) asking he somehow curtail his memberships use of his son's name in jest then I am also sure the posting would stop on our end.
We mock, jeer and make fun but if you know anything about goons it is that we try from time to time. It is [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Something_Awful#Hurricane_Katrina_donation_incident]stuff like this[/url] and the body armor for troops in iraq fund raiser among hundreds of similar individual efforts on SA that make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. We are part of the same community that makes these small efforts happen. In this case we just happen to be flying spaceships and ****ing off eve-o posters as well. But the bottom line is we are goons first and eve pilots second.
Sorry for the :opps: post guys. What can I say, I just like to be a rebel.
Oh oh! To keep this on topic, I think there will be a lot of fighting. Checking out XZH local I see 388 people as of 22:47. I dare say there might be some fighting. The largest? Hardly. The laggest? Maybe around CR if the server doesn't get that mythical "reinforcement" I've heard so much about.

Look, this fight simply has nothing to do with morals.
Here's the thing with Tetsujin, as I see it. His sig on our private forum was rather tasteless. He apologized, we punished him, et cetera. Seeing as how the issue was completely unrelated to the rest of us, we were satisfied by that resolution. BoB wasn't, and continued to brandish the old incident as a rallying cry against the lot of us. That made us angry. Here we were, completely severed from the offending party and they were still coming for us. "Oh God" we realized "now Tetsujin will never be brought to justice and we'll all die in his place." So we did what any reasonable, veldspar loving goon would do. We brought the sacrifice back to the altar. At the height of the confrontation, when BoB warps in on us we're planning to web and scramble him so he can't get away, and allow him to be torn to bits by the angry mob of BoB.
After that's said and done, we plan to eject from our frigates and self destruct our pods as a massive sign of contrition for ever allowing ourselves to befriend such a monster on the internet. Hopefully that will satiate BoB's bloodlust and we will be allowed to return to the carebear lifestyle in XZH.
See, we're doing this because we want to do the right thing.

Your consciences are clear after your people spouted some of that drivel in XZH local tonight?
Good for you, it confirms that all the vitriol directed at you lot is totally deserved.
Well Goons come from a large set of forums, known for being caustic and offensive.
We realize that most people would be taken aback at times by our humor. That is why we strictly kept it on our forums and didnt post on here, and didnt smack in local. So we could still have fun and be 'goony' on our own site, while not upsetting everyone else.
The problem obviously comes when people start spying on our forums and dont like what they read and then throw a fit, which is ridiculous. If you dont like it, nobody is forcing you to read it.
That aside the only thing smoske means to the majority of Goons is that a thread from a year ago is constantly thrown in our face by those with an agenda.
Seriously, if it wasnt for the dedicated efforts of a few trolls the name would barely be in our collective consciousness. But if someone going to ram something down our throats we are going to take the wee out of it big style on our forums, and quite frankly it isnÆt anyone elseÆs business.
So now we have this situation where things have spiraled into chaos and everyone is trolling each other. Since we are already at war with the two superpowers next to us there is no need to be polite, and now goons are doing what they can be inclined to do anyway which is troll people to tears.
Still the carnage which is now going to follow should be a laugh.

People need to understand that just the word smoske is enough to get any goon extremely upset. The reason why is because we are depicted over an over, and in every single thread about us ever, as evil monsters for something that occured before we even knew what eve was. We want the stupid incident to rest in the past more than anyone here. Yet people continue to act like all 2800 of us made fun of smoske when we didn't. Being accused for something you had no part in really starts to get to you after the 20th time it happens.
In reality, bob/d2/etc did start all this. They are the ones who refused to let the issue rest long after apologies were issued and we were more than ready to forget about it. They kept linking the thread and referencing the incident for a full year and half to the point where we want to strangle the people who do it. The behavior of tetsujin is explained in the context of this. In very poor taste he made a sig pointing out that bob/d2 love to repeatedly bring up the smoske incident to attack us. Ironically Molle is using that very sig, and the smoske incident, to rally people against us, yet again. Most of us are sickened to see that people are eating it up hook line and sinker.
