Originally by: HippoKing I take it you are referring to BoB vs Goons.
The right war for the wrong reasons.
In this case, CCP will not interfere.
Whats this?
A bee in goonfleet made a post 4 months ago on the GF forums, which included a signature image of Smoske (Creator of evekills.com, who was run over by a truck a couple of years ago. I think there is a station named after him somewhere) apparently being run over by a bandwagon. There was an incident involving two people who were later in goonfleet making comments jokes about this 18months before goonfleet existed. That has always been used as an excuse to flame the goons when others don't present themselves. I haven't actually seen the sig in question, so I don't know for sure, but I've been told the joke was that his death had become a bandwagon for people to hate the goons off, despite the fact the jokes had occurred a long time before goonfleet existed. This was a signature image posted on the goonfleet private forums and was apparently discovered by a spy (I'm not confirmed on this one).
It was posted on the eve-o forums by a bobbit. Offending goon had roles removed and was kicked. BoB declared this "too little, too late" and vow to eliminate the goons and force them out of Eve. BoB made huge sweeping statements about how goons ate babies (or equivalent). Goons get fairly irritated that they are all getting decced because one person made a tasteless joke on their private forums which was never meant to be seen by any non-goon, and that they were apparently meant to moderate their private conduct in case spies got offended. Big forum hate war kicks off, with both sides ****ed off: lots of flaming, trolling and chestbeating. A few moderate posters on each side trying to get everyone to calm down and just blow each other up ingame, but plenty (especially goons) repeatedly making threads to smack or accelerate the depletion of the world's sarcasm resource.
I found the post via google, so i doubt a spy was needed since it was in the public section of their forum. The sig was a gif animation truck with the words bandwagon on it, moving towards (running over) a figure lying on the ground with an arrow pointing to it with the name smoske next to it, and the words 'beep beep' and something i dont remember. Anyway, this whole affair is a bit tasteless. |
