We tried acting "respectfully."
All that happened is that the people who wanted to start fights with us dragged our name down into the mud anyway, slandered us anyway, treated us with an absolute lack of respect anyway -- and then for some crazy reason got indignant when we refused to return "respect" in exchange for those slanders and misrepresentations, as if we were supposed to be grateful for the opportunity to have been insulted by the Veteran Lord Masters of Eve.
There are still numerous organizations and players within Eve that we respect. But we're done being muzzled, we're done brown-nosing, we're done playing Eve the way anybody who isn't us wants us to play it. If people respect that, fine. If they don't, it isn't our problem any more.
If there are a few alliances that still respect Goonfleet, not for much longer I think.
Watching goons flood SU local with weak burns the last few days while BOB keeps a dignified silence has been embarrassing. CanÆt help but remember the days not long ago when it was always the other way around.
If the way goons ôwant to playö is acting like unfunny retards, mission accomplished.

We've had a lot of opponents over time, but none of them have ever come close to sinking to the depths that the various BoB forum *****s have.

I've never seen any group of people sink lower in an online game
One does spring to mind. Making fun of somebody dying even at times in public then feigning outrage when his friends are angry. Hypocritically complaining about all being ôtarred with the same brush,ö then whining about some apparent threat by one of their opponents. Posting page after relentless page of drivel and flames on a community forum.

I guess you missed the "shut up anonymous goon #52309" remarks before the silence?

Well to be perfectly honest, this isn't at all about the big bad evil vets, wanting to kill the newbies since they might pose a threat to them.
Take a look bad, 3 mounths ago eve, everyone aplauded the goon's and thier efforts for bringing new players into this game. People in eve, actually like new players, and more so then in most other games I have played.
I think the fact that a large portion of the community has turned against you, is in part due to your posting on these forums. At first your leadership in some very obviouse attempts at spin. Not to say that it isn't a bad thing to have your own propoganda, but the goons, for lack of a better phrase, don't do it all that well. Next came the hordes of goon posting, and some rather immature stuff. While I'm sure GF has some good members, they don't do enough to stand out from the bad ones, and people start to have ill impressions towards you as a group.
Frankly, I'm a little taken aback at how quickly goon's have gone from a liked entity, to a non liked one. Coupled with your seeminly inability to make an appology with out some sort of reservation, I can almost see why. Even some of the members behaviour in local chat, after the fact, brings questions to mind.
Now we see the goons attempting to claim this is nothing more then a bunch of veterens who want to kill the noobs. Both here and on other sites as well, or so I am told. You know the whole, "we're gaining power so the big boys want to shut us down" An arguement which frankly makes no sense to me what so ever, even if it were true. Doesn't it go against common sence to not kill your enemys when you have the chance to do so?
Have fun in your wars. But I think this is a good demenstration of how misteps on the forums can have some serious implications in game.

You get called cancer and your feelings are all hurt ...
... yet your leader likens himself to H****r and his rally speech for the weekend was nick-named The Final Solution.
Makes it hard to play the pity card. |

This is absolutely not true and anyone who is trying to claim this needs to go back and read older threads. I just did so myself to refresh my memory--I'm seeing virtually the exact same people hating Goonfleet now that did then.

What he said, from my memory, was "if they actually hold space for a while, I'll take them seriously." Hardly wild applause.
As to some wild change in public opinion: a lot of people are going to bandwagon onto whatever BoB says or does. A lot of other people are simply afraid to post anything that might **** BoB off. If there has been any change in public opinion re: Goonfleet, I think that accounts for most of it. Any remainder is just people falling for BoB propaganda and misrepresentations.

The forum has been eating my posts as of late but....
Have you actually seen the stuff that BOB's enemys say about them? I doubt very highly that BOB's saying the goons are evil has changed the minds of anyone, because its BOB saying that.

Edited by: Benvolio GrrrKrishnakk on 02/08/2006 06:10:29 This is why I thought the 'no posting in the alliance subforums' rule was great. Noone in the fleet posted here (aside from a few retarded GS alts), and as such noone cared about what was posted here regarding us. Now the proverbial floodgates have been opened, and everyone in GS with an opinion feels to need to rant about it and call our enemies names. Then they wait around and spam f5 to see how our enemies flame us in return. This in turn seemingly demands a reply flame, and the cycle continues.
It is my opinion, and my opinion alone, that nearly everyone here needs to take a step back and take a deep breath. Our enemies need to stop dragging up incidents that are more than a year old, and we need to stop playing the "WE DONT CARE WHAT YOU SAY WE ARE GOONS" card. If you are as indifferent as you say, ignore the flames like the rest of GS is doing and come back to EVE. Seriously, I just want to play my internet space game.
Edit: And as far as respect goes, the vast majority of us do indeed repsect what the large alliances such as BoB and D2 have accomplished. However, none have risen so high in such a short time span as we have, and a little respect in turn would be appreciated. |

Originally by: Herberge Edited by: Herberge on 02/08/2006 00:27:21 ^^^Edit - wow, what a perfect example^^^
Why are so many of the people in the "uber" alliances so completely without any form of grace or humour? Every time you have a victory you crow about it, no matter how much of a disadvantage your opponent was working with (in XZH we had a surprise start, around 10% of our opponents' skillpoints, pilot for pilot, a tiny fraction of their isk and, unless I'm mistaken, fewer overall pilots than the seven or so alliances we were facing, not counting BoB's entry against us in the last couple of days). We lost XZH. Frankly we were amazed and pleased to hold it as long as we did. So well done to D2 and BoB, but my goodness do a lot of you have absolutely ****ty attitudes. Frankly I think most of you have forgotten the pure joy of emerging into an incredible game like Eve, because the bitterness and hate are strong in you.
I can remember many time where there were statements of respect for worthy opponents. But in those cases the opponents earned respect and played a good game. Such fights are usually marked by a distinct lack of smack by both the defeated and the winner (A polite comment in sea of smack does not count......)
Members of the top alliances (I'm thinking particularly BoB and D2) have been smacktalking about us continually since we first made an impression on anyone, when we weren't claiming any space beyond S-U. We had no pretensions, we made no claims, but people took it upon themselves to say, over and over again, "the goons will never amount to anything". Apparently it's ok for BoB and D2 to have, say, 5% of members who are absolutely horrible smacktalking retards, but if goonswarm has some smacktalkers in its ranks then we, meaning all two and a half thousand of us, have "no respect or humanity". I hope you'll forgive me for saying that this is double standard bull****, and that the people espousing it want the respect that flows from the barrel of a gun. They have never shown us respect as an organisation or as individuals, even before we had had any direct contact with them in game. I'm not even saying they should have said anything positive about us, just that if they want this game to be about "respect" then they could have refrained from smacktalking us when we were still confined to a small corner on the other side of the galaxy not hurting anyone.

Originally by: Dyme one does not simply jump into syndicate!
Sadly Syndicate consists of more than just S-U8A4 (a fact that I think Goonswarm have started to appreciate.)
Syndicate has more entrances and exits into and out of empire controlled territory than I care to mention, not fogetting the Cloud ring/outer ring back doors as well.
We love the syndicate incursions.
It promotes Healthy combat situations ,which we all love and adore.
the S-U8A4 situation is not about the territory (I hope, because theres nothing there) I think its a matter of respect. But Then Only time will tell.

Remedial, seems to see himself as a leader of a certain ww2 country, is the ceo of goonswarm. as ceo u represant the corp/alliance, dont you?:
number1 number 2
this is the programm they use, and it is not just one goon who has that installed..
Remedials Speech
which is called "Final Solution", great idea..
and the most offending thing imo is this:
Linkage its a nice video, rlly, if there only wouldnt b the 1st minute of it.
makes you wondering what kind of alliance accepts such a guy as "leader".

I Like the way stuff has turned out/turning out.
As I obviously had to leave the system for my own saftey Was there any major offensive launched to repel the attackers ?
All I saw was the odd 3 or 4 man gang warp in and get splatted. Did Anything Further actually happen ? Any Big events etc..... |
