I've done some reading about corps and alliances in EVE and their history and am left wondering. Who would you all say are the good guys in the current game today? Is their a strong corp/alliance that is in opposition to The Imperium/CODE/Goons etc? If the for mentioned corp/alliances are not seen by the general player base as the bad guys in the game then what are they or who is? |

EvE is a sandbox full of kids ... the bad guy is defined by the inherent principles of a sandbox, destroy somebody's sand castle, build the highest, best looking sand castle, use the priciest tools, have more buddies, etc. You get the point?

Aside from a few individuals who RP being against CODE for the purpose of bringing more PvP to hisec, nobody. It's every man for himself here -- or hire a merc to fight for you.

There aren't really any good guys. Nearly every corporation has kicked down someones sandcastle for some reason or another. It's only a game, so why not?

There is no bad(black) or good(white) in EVE, only shades of gray.
To some I am the epitome of evil, to others I am one of the most helpful people around. Just depends on which side of the anti-matter you end up on and how you respond to it after the fact if you end up on the wrong end.

Your corp is the good guys, everyone else is the bad guys.
Even the Goons, if you actually join them and are decent at the game, turn out to be very nice, normal people, who will have your back. Being a game, corps and alliances fight each other because it's fun, not because of economics, moral or religious issues, or whatever. So, I mean, technically there is no "evil"; just actions that the game allows, and actions that the game does not allow.
Thus, your circle of friends / corp / alliance is the good guys, everyone else is the bad guys. |

Like other's have said this game is not so much a black and white game with clear good guys and bad guys. It's actually much more realistic. It's a game full of individuals that do things for their own reasons.
That being said there are some people that role play being "the good guys" in a sense. In the region of Providence there are people that police the region with rules somewhat similar to high sec. They claim that they are reclaiming Provi for the glory of the Amarr empire. So if you want to RP being the good guy that might be an option.
In the end where all just a bunch of humans playing a video game so no corp or alliance is without it's good sides and bad sides. I'm just saying that if you want to fight the good fight and not just fight over space for the sake of fighting over space then maybe NRDS gameplay is for you. |

This.
EVE is a competitive game. Even if the effect is too small to measure, your gain is everyone else's loss.
If you suddenly gained a quarter trillion ISK (quite a lot, but there's lots of players with ten times that amount or more), any move you make to spend it will change the game economy considerably. I personally caused a noticeable gamewide increase in the cost of tech two invention just by spending 6 billion ISK stockpiling decryptors - every time you buy a tech 2 module, it's (very slightly) more expensive because of me.
There is no good or bad in game. There's plenty out of game (which is why some of the biggest e-assholes in game, people like me, chipped in to raise a fair amount in the Nepal charity fundraiser event CCP ran a while back).
Listen to the trailer from the Inferno expansion a few years back: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kED11aGobUk . The first minute of it has an in-universe character talking about morality in EVE.

Also, there's no time to check, or chat with the guy to figure out motives; by the time you chat he'll kill you, or escape. Your corp is green (in the overview), your allies are blue, and the enemy is red. You shoot at all the red, and you won't have time to check whether that's the veteran who really hates you and started the war, or some newbie they recruited who just happened to be in the wrong place. There's no time to check.
You shoot, hopefully you kill, and if it's the newbie then you just did him/her a favor by teaching some PVP tactics that they can try to figure out, emulate, or counter. Also, some adrenaline rush, maybe even some fun; maybe he had you pinned down with warp disruptors for a full minute before you managed to kill him and his team. |

And even if you shoot a newbie and kill them - often they have fun.
I lost most of my first ten PVP encounters. Still much more fun than stomping through missions.

White Knighting never works in MMOs.
Basically the "White Knight' types have to log in 24/7 guarding something (belt, gate, whatever) whereas pirate types can log in an alt go kill some stuff logout again and go do something else. Hence the reason mining fleets and freighters never have 'guards" it is mind numbingly boring to play one. |

Yesterday I found a newbro struggling to kill a mordu's frigate rat in a belt. I killed the newbro and took the loot from the rat. It turned out to be worth 100+ mil. Am I bad?
The newbro had such a good attitude about it that I gave him a quarter of the loot (more than 25x the cost of his ship!) and gave him some fitting tips. Am I good?

I would not call them LG at all.
The actual action of defending a gank target is LG in principle but the actions of Anti-Ganking are more like http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/KnightTemplar .
Quoting a relevant part:
"It's important to note that despite being villains/villainous within the context of the story, Knights Templar believe fully that they are on the side of righteousness and draw strength from that, and that their opponents are not. Trying to reason with one isn't much good either, because many Knight Templar types believe that if you're not with them, you're against them. Invoking actual goodness and decency will have no effect, save for making Knights Templar demonize your cause as the work of the Devil. After all, they are certain that their own cause is just and noble, and anyone who stands in the way is a deluded fool at best and another guilty soul to be "cleansed" or evildoer to be killed at worst, and doing so is not even Dirty Business (except, sometimes, for how much it makes them suffer, having to hand out all this justice)

It's the main reason you don't see organised groups of them , no one likes working with them.
There are exceptions obviously , I don't mean to tar them all with the one brush but my experience with most people identifying as ag has been fairly loathsome and vial.

Lawful-good still seems best fit from the available measures though. By that I don't evaluate the quality or manner in which they subscribe to 'law' and 'good', but their underpinning righteousness seems sourced in that quadrant of the holy AD&D alignment matrix.
Consider...
"Law implies honor, trustworthiness, obedience to authority, and reliability. On the downside, lawfulness can include closed-mindedness, reactionary adherence to tradition, judgmentalness, and a lack of adaptability. Those who consciously promote lawfulness say that only lawful behavior creates a society in which people can depend on each other and make the right decisions in full confidence that others will act as they should."
Where even with their pompous and self-righteous attitudes they can still fall within the 'lawful' zone, while still being d1ckheads.
Let us also consider the morality rating...
"Good implies altruism, respect for life, and a concern for the dignity of sentient beings. Good characters make personal sacrifices to help others."
Now it can be argued that they actually straddle the line with neutral, and are in fact Lawful-Neutral, because in the above means-test while they subscribe to preserving the lives of freighter pilots and their dignity, there is no evidence of personal sacrifice in pursuing same.

I think many of them are too dishonest about their intent, motivations and levels of conviction to be called lawful or good.
Even if you take a really rigid definition of lawful, wherein it means adherence to the actual law of the land then you can grant them lawful.
But good is way out, they're neutral at best and some of them are probably evil.
Not that dnd alignment makes a lick of sense. |

So, I mean, technically there is no "evil"; just actions that the game allows, and actions that the game does not allow.
Thus, your circle of friends / corp / alliance is the good guys, everyone else is the bad guys. Nonsense, goons are notoriously bad at this game. Believe me, being "good" certainly isn't a criterion for joining us. |

Simple if their red or orange their evil. If they are blue or light blue they are good. no color citizens their canon fodder. By the way the Imperium is a state of mind on the good side check your good guy/bad guy chart.

This thread reminds me of Grosse Point Blank:
Kevin McCullers: Man, why don't we just do his job, so we can do our job and get the **** out of here? Steve: What do you mean, "do his job?" What am I, a cold-blooded killer? I'm not a cold-blooded killer. Kevin McCullers: Now, wait a minute... Steve: No, you wait a minute. You want to kill the good guy but not be the bad guy. Doesn't work like that. You have to wait until the bad guy kills the good guy, then when you kill the bad guy, you're the good guy. Kevin McCullers: So - just to clarify - if we do his job we're the bad guys, and if we do our job we're the good guys. Steve: Yes. Kevin McCullers: That's... great.
Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. So, why do I post here?

Viable opinion, but I think Eve has a lore. It is more, than just a counter strike in space. You can choose side and join faction warfare. Fight for the last democracy in New eden (look at Eleutherian Guard [EL-G] corp history for example) or help best state in a world to defeat tyrany of byrocratic federation. Free slaves or fight against terrorists , who hide themself behind so-called "republic".
You can go role playing and feel good guy in this game. Some ppl were supporting free port ideals and went to help defending Providence against cruel and greedy empire...
Absolutely free trial extension. Just click the link and get your extra 2 weeks of Eve for free!

Thus, your circle of friends / corp / alliance is the good guys, everyone else is the bad guys. This. EVE is a competitive game. Even if the effect is too small to measure, your gain is everyone else's loss. If you suddenly gained a quarter trillion ISK (quite a lot, but there's lots of players with ten times that amount or more), any move you make to spend it will change the game economy considerably. I personally caused a noticeable gamewide increase in the cost of tech two invention just by spending 6 billion ISK stockpiling decryptors - every time you buy a tech 2 module, it's (very slightly) more expensive because of me. There is no good or bad in game. There's plenty out of game (which is why some of the biggest e-assholes in game, people like me, chipped in to raise a fair amount in the Nepal charity fundraiser event CCP ran a while back). Listen to the trailer from the Inferno expansion a few years back: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kED11aGobUk . The first minute of it has an in-universe character talking about morality in EVE.
Yep, cause the only place to get5 decrytptors is the places you bought them from :/

We should definitely do brunch.
Reminds me of Mr Penguin.
Well, his name wasn't actually penguin but his corp kinda was. You see as an Explorer Hunter and professional baby eater I often find myself with new pilots in my optimal.
Here I was sitting 160k above this relic site, as I do, cloaked in my Loki. I see core probes on scan and a short time later a little Heron arrives piloted by Mr Penguin. I check him out, relatively newish and CEO of a small corp. He's only lost one ship before and his bio proudly proclaims in broken English mixed with Japanese that "Nobody can stop the penguin!".
The audacity!
I warp in and tackle him, brrrt brrrt from the autocannons and Mr Penguin's Heron jam full of 90m worth of loot explodes in a big cloud of can contents before he can even hack the first can (leaving partially run sites often scares off my prey). He lingers long enough that I manage to get his pod too after posting my gf in local. Scoop the corpse, pop the wreck and return to my perch above the site to examine my loot and corpse in comfort and privacy.
A short time later I see more probes on scan plus an Imicus. Dscan says the Imicus is at or near the highsex hole so I go take a look. Here's this Imicus on the hole doing scans. Same corp as Mr Penguin. Hole activation and who decloaks? MR PENGUIN back for round two in a new Heron named "gift".

Feels. Seems his corpmate had given him a new Heron plus a second set of eyes, accompanying him back for another crack at those dank blood cans. Just as I'm circling cloaked like a vulture considering whether or not to just decloak and try to alpha them both on the hole before they can jump out, they warp off.
Mr Penguin's friend seems to be a bit slicker than his CEO, he makes a safe spot and they both chill there while scanning. Seems Mr Penguin didn't bookmark anything on his first visit. So I drop combats and start probing this daring duo down. While doing so I take another look at these pilots' info and notice since his earlier murder Mr Penguin's bio now proclaims he's a friendly penguin who just wants to make friends.
Well we all know the best way to make friends in eve. I get 100% on the Imicus and in I go, decloak and go for the tackle. They're both together, and the Imicus is aligned, managing to insta-warp... But there's MrPenguin... still on grid, trying to burn away from me like a wide eyed child with a steam train bearing down on him. I close the 20k+ gap quickly in the Vampyre and Mr Penguin dies horribly a second time in an hour.
Happy to have made a new friend, I eagerly shoot off a message to Mr Penguin hoping he speaks Sebiestor as well as Japanese, telling him what he could have done to survive both the first death and second. I also slipped him about 20m isk to ease the pain.
He never replied.

EVE is a big canvas that allow players to paint the color they want on it. Some like to put the color of bloody red on it, some like to use calmly blue and most want the colors of rainbow.
If your alliance has a foothold in null sec, they must have fought against and expelled the last alliance that occupied that space in order to claim sovereignty in those solar systems. Other alliances fought against your alliance for the same reason. Is the last alliance you fought against for taking their space bad? Is the third alliance fought against your alliance for taking your space bad? Is your alliance good? Which alliance is good and which alliance is bad? What is good and what is bad? |
