I don't know, could they start blowing up the custom offices before the patch came out?

(The devblog on this nullifies any and all advantage from possible insider trading)

Through devblogs everybody knew exactly how the COs would work, including exact numbers, long before the patch went live. Your point is moot.

Before the patch the customs offices were 'npc' and could not be destroyed, access for all.

Not exactly. The actual numbers were not released very far in advance at all. I was watching that one and didn't see them until after the patch. As did, apparently, most people, to judge from the request to stop filing petitions about it.

Also, the fact that goons have been all over the forums trying to shout down any objections to this suggests that this forms the keystone to their financial success after the anticipated moon goo nerf.

Mr Mittani, Cygnet Lythanea, WWWA, speaking on the moon goo issue, sources within your own alliance have reported that you and goonswarm brass anticipate moon goo being nerfed. How then do your moon goo profits explain away the allegations EoG has leveled?

i don't really care about POCOs because i'm busy drowning in technetium income, better luck next troll thread

Beyond that I'd like to see less emphasis on technetium, either a rebalancing of moon minerals across the board so 3/4ths of the nullsec moon space isn't worthless, or a 'quick fix' like R32 alchemy.

I can also confirm that Mittens is in fact the Devil Incarnate and he has replaced CCP with his husk-forms so as to maintain the illusion that this game is not EVE Online and is in fact The Mittani's Jerk-Off Playground. The fact that he has a personality instead of being a wet mop like the rest of the semi-robots that play this game in highsec is indicative of the fact that he may also be ******, and as such I urge you to call the army and explain that the evil mittens and his subjugated autonomous goon collective full of exact carbon copies of his most loyal lieutenants are taking over the EVE world. Complaining to CCP is pointless as the few living members have been cleverly manipulated into a cult of personality around The Mittani, a character in a spaceship game. Your only recourse is to whine about this on a poorly-designed forum about a worse game.

CO destructibility was not, IIRC, implemented based on a CSM suggestion.

If Mittens decides to bogart COs in lowsec, then go blow them up. I am sure that Goonswarm will greatly enjoy having to defend 37 different COs every day. It'll keep them out of trouble.

EOG intelligence

Oxymoron right at the start of the post.

*golfclap*

It'll keep them out of trouble.

Can CCP Internal Affairs be triggered then to investigate this issue (from the inside)?

I request for an investigation to take away the possibility that former (Goon) members, that work for CCP now, may Leak information.

ITT: Someone reads our post about POCOs in The War Room and completely misinterprets the intent of the post

I hate to point this out, but wouldn't re-balancing moon goo in the manner you describe also mean that more of goonswarms rivals be gaining tech moons?

Which means that the mittani would actually lose isk, not gain it, due to increased competition?

...
I think they realized that the EVO community was stronger than they could have imagined and have been trying different routes since that epiphany.

They destroyed BoB from the inside now it's time to destroy this game from as close as they can get to inside of CCP thru the CSM.

What do you do when you try to infiltrate the "Enemy"?
IMHO
You get them to trust one of yours as head of their security.

bla bla bla....


Anyway, I respond to serious questions in my Chairman's thread. Extreme is barely literate and EOG is a joke, there's nothing to do here but mock.

I'm interested in where this "insider information" comes from, bla bla bla

Of course, I already know you'll refuse to provide your sources, bla bla bla

I can confirm that upper management decided to deploy PRIOR to the dev blogs on the CO's.

CO destructibility was not, IIRC, implemented based on a CSM suggestion.

Are you with CCP's IA ? No?

Also, if you read the whole thread you'll notice that it is Mary Read that stated on which Trebor replied


So, that's the reason why CCP-IA will have to start to investigate on "insider information" , in my assumption former Goon players that are employed at CCP now.
They still have intense bonds with each other, not that that's not allowed, but hey, mistakes and a slip of the tongue are easily made that way.

Is this clear enough? Literate enough?

Seems like an awful lot of effort to respond to such baseless claims. If I was innocent of wrongdoing, I'd be ignoring this crackpot OP. Even multiple responses from Mittens himself? I guess any old turd can post a load of bull and get you guys all wound up?

Seriously, the attention you're paying this topic says way more than the OP could ever write. Not saying it's true, but you guys aren't helping your case.

Sjaumst!

Considering you haven't even produced anything resembling actual words from an actual member of a Goonswarm corporation, no, not really. If you're going to call out an alliance on the game's public forums, you better have the guts to provide this "insider info" you claim to have. Until you do that, you're simply wasting electrons whining about something that isn't even happening, since I'm pretty sure there haven't been scores of COs killed in lowsec by Goonswarm fleets in the days following Crucible's deployment.

Aside from Trebor, who simply stated that CO destructibility was not something the CSM suggested as far as he knew, no one in this thread claiming to have the inside information on us goons has demonstrated any credibility. Posting on an NPC corp alt, no matter how old it may be, isn't information.

Since The Mittani ended up as CSM chairman, it seems like the forums can't go a week without someone else claiming that he controls CCP and is personally deciding what features get added to the game, or that he has super secret information that he's sharing with us about the upcoming patches. The average vocal EVE player demonizes the "GOONS" without even bothering to try and understand why we play this game. If a group of 5000ish players wanted to ruin the game, this game would be dead already. We don't want this game to go away, because we enjoy doing the things we do. We may be mean and nasty, because it amuses us to no end to see people get upset over space pixels, but in the end, we aren't too terribly different from the average player of EVE. People seem to lack the ability to wrap their heads around someone having fun doing something other than what they consider fun.

The fact that you're unwilling to engage with anything resembling an actual argument simply further drives home the fact that you're trying to raise a stink about something that doesn't even exist. You claim to have information, but refuse to divulge the source, you claim to want to call in CCP, but are have to use a public forum to do it.

If you actually HAD any dirt on Goonswarm that could get anyone in actual trouble, you wouldn't have bothered posting a thread here. You would have contacted CCP and delivered the information and gotten things moving. If you're going to make claims, the burden of proving them is on you, in any sort of system. If you wanted to keep it private, you shouldn't have posted this thread in the first place.

Again, though, I know you're going to try and marginalize any sort of rational counter-argument, because you know you have no leverage and nothing you can show to prove your claims.

"Mutatis Mutandis"


It is amazing to have to read a wall of text this time but you are actually saying the same thing as before again.

I have to give to you that this is some kind of skill that you have to be able to do such a thing.

And yet his point still stands uncontested by yourself.

I too can quote latin;

Insulsissimus Est Homo

I must admit I always shy away from threads with people quoting Latin as they always seem to be people trying to hard to be intellectual.

He might well be the "King of Idiots" but he has made a point (whether or not its a valid one remains to be seen, although I'm leaning on the crackpot side) but you haven't really said anything apart from no content posts and some insults.

He has made a baseless accusation about an alliance without anything resembling actual proof. I don't really see how it's a point. Also, if he had anything resembling evidence of wrongdoing, why post a forum thread about it prior to any sort of action from CCP? Extreme has been unwilling to divulge his sources, claims NPC alts are legitimate sources of what our alliance is doing, and doesn't seem to understand how Occam's Razor works. Unless a whole lot of us have been shooting POCOs without me noticing, there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of "GOONS TAKING OVER PI IN LOWSEC" going on right now.

As I said in my original post I think it's crackpot but I was trying to emphasise the fact whenever anyone insults the Goons whether rightly or wrongly you guys always seem to pile in with insults.

A simple "refer it to CCP Internal affairs" post would have sufficed any most people would have just carried on as normal.
If its a baseless accusation like most of them are why even bother replying? You're adding fuel to a fire that probably doesn't exist and then you get people saying "The lady doth protest too much" etc etc

But then again it's a forum so people can do what the hell they please :

If the Goons want to take over all the POCO's in lowsec, they'll have to go through the Minmatar Militia.

A couple weeks into Crucible, they still haven't bothered. We've got ours up and running with no interference.

The OP is freaking out over nothing. No conspiracy here, move along folks.

Sadly, its threads like these that discredit and de-legitimize all the important things that could be discussed in Jita Park.

Wait..

Wait this isn't a troll thread?

As I said in my original post I think it's crackpot but I was trying to emphasise the fact whenever anyone insults the Goons whether rightly or wrongly you guys always seem to pile in with insults.

One good reason for that is, it seems to literally make their tinfoil hats bigger than ever. It's hilarious.

If the Goons want to take over all the POCO's in lowsec, they'll have to go through the Minmatar Militia.

One of the central fallacies of the eve universe:

Goons are ********, friendless assholes that are bad at a bad space game

but also

Goons are hyperintelligent space conspirators, with connections everywhere, determined to conquer this most excellent space game by the back door.

"Mutatis Mutandis"

I am a disgruntled Goon member who is tired of Darius and Mittens crap.

Hey. The only backdoor I'm after in the one to your heart. <3

EOG intelligence knows for a fact that Goonswarm will remove all low-sec customs offices and replace it with their own Goon office.
Plasma, Temperate & Barren planets (P3 and P4 materials)

Question is, did Mittens have "insider trader information" from his function in CSM?

I mean, was he able to plan this ahead due to his function as CSM which gave him a strategical headstart for Goonswarm?

How will CCP deal with CSM in the future preventing such disadvantages for everyone not with contacts in CSM?
