Originally by: fmercury Apparently it's getting the most words.
2000 people just had their switches changed from "Don't post" to "Post carefully" to "Post freely" in a few days. I'm really not suprised at the flood of posts. |

Originally by: Toffles I'm on teamspeak every day and I have yet to hear someone who sounds "adolescent".
Even Armois?

Originally by: Hawkings SJ This newest fad of labeling everything and everyone who is "against" you as "e-(negative word/concept)" or "internet-(negative word/concept)" to me is no different then using ALL CAPITAL WORDS + SARCASM or the latest catch phrase...which Chuck Norris would deliver in a fatal head blow.
I have to agree that I think the 'SERIOUS BUSINESS' argument (which when said means that you are saying that the person is taking something on the internet completely seriously whilst you are being totally cool, calm and disconnected) is an incredibly stupid one, mostly used by people who don't want to admit that they are just as invested into a game as the people they are trying to insult.
Originally by: Sochin Dude, we're playing a game here. Its not like we're marshalling a real OOG army to come hunt your members down.
Or so we think....

Originally by: Anille Kole Besides, haven't most of you PR types for GS been spouting that "GS/SA has a different type of humor, blah blah, we think it's funny to laugh at people dying"?
Close, but no. A better definition would be that goons in general laugh at the kind of people who get angry when other people joke about people dying (and make fun of people who take the internet 'seriously' - something I have already mentioned I hate).
I guarantee the only reason any goons might have been mentioning anything in the past few days is because they know that it winds you all up. They are trolling you deliberately because they know it winds you up.
I can also guarantee, more importantly, that Tetsujin would not have had that signature, and that nobody in goonfleet would even mention it, not to say know about it, if the subject was not brought up in every single thread about goonfleet/remedial by someone trying to make a cheap shot against us, with an incident that happened way before we were formed. These cheap shots are what insult the memory of your friend. Remember happy times, and not just bring it up as a battle cry. How would you feel if people made wars in a virtual space game over your name after you died (I myself, would be horrified at the prospect).
Also, making light of death certainly isn't anything new, or much to get offended about. See, Darwin Awards. If you have read the darwin awards and found them amusing, then you are completely hypocritical getting righteous about people making light of another purely because you happened to know them. Everybody has friends, even people you don't know. In fact if you can't make light of death years after it has happened I'd be worried.
Despite these points I agree that people have been going over the top and making many inappropriate remarks that shouldn't have. I have no problem with Bob going to war with us - it means that we don't have to go back to repetitive mining ratting for an unspecified length of time. Wars are what makes this game interesting - without anything to do I'd probably get bored and quit within a month/few weeks. I just think it's a slightly unhealthy excuse for doing so. I would have respected much more a post saying 'We are bored, so we are attacking x' (incidentally much like the reason we initially invaded NORAD space)

Originally by: deadEd You can't be serious. That's a pretty dangerous attitude to have, and I hope for the sake of your entire alliance that it's only you 1-2 month guys that have it.
Yes, there is a lifecycle in goonfleet, that begins as a newbie, and ends in a 'Bitter Vet (tm)' that explodes in a puff of drama and leaves the corp. The trick is, can we get enough new players in faster than the older ones leave.
Hmm, I wonder what the half-life of a goonfleet member is.

rofl,
Save your false indignation fools and hurry up removing your pos out of XZH.
We're waiting.
Didn't you hear? Syndicate is where alliances come to die.

The lifecycle of a Goonswarm member:
I think by the time they get to stage 4 they usually have a more realistic perspective.
Originally by: deadEd The only way you'll always 'win' is if your victory conditions are 'still having accounts that play'. Isn't that the same train of thought you guys used to make fun of NORAD for having?
News at 10 Goons can be hypocritical too. Come off it, every single person who posts on these forums can be accused of the same. Is it bad to believe that you are better than others? (Evidently, unless you are Bob, it is)

Originally by: Ouabain We're not against the EVE community, just those who are picking on us, you seem to think we are against everyone in EVE because we are not kowtowing to those who have chosen to attack us.
I don't think you understand, this is Bob we are talking about here. They don't need to do anything, all they need to do is post a single word and empires will fall at their command.

Originally by: Anille Kole This is exactly what I have been talking about. You cannot win in a battle of logic or facts, so you simply state nonsensical things, half-truths, or in comments that try to reduce the credibility of the poster.
Isn't this what everybody on this forum does, I must have seen thousands of good alt-poster points dismissed my everyone (especially bob) purely on the basis that it is an alt posting it.

I'm not quite sure 'after a few minutes' means 30, and 57 respectively.
