Hi, i will get straight to the point.....i am currently looking for a new corp/ home ...in the recruitment channel i posted my interest for looking for a new corp i was then contacted via private chat about joining a corp in the Goonswarm Fed after interesting me with what they could offer they made me apply via goonfleet.org once i registered i was then told that i was identified as a medium risk for some unknown reason to the alliance and in order to join i had to pay 500mil to get in the corp and alliance.

Is this common practice? as i thought i was a scam at the time... does anyone else know about this?

Thanks for reading

Mh, i was pretty sure about that impersonate thing, but as i cant finde sources, ill just retract that statement.

In 2013 Article 8 has been updated to further clarify our rules on impersonation of other entities in EVE Online. The old text pertaining to impersonation in Article 8 contained the following:

You may not impersonate or present yourself to be a representative of CCP or an EVE Online volunteer

This has now been updated to read as follows, for further clarification of our policy on impersonation of third parties in EVE Online:

You may not impersonate or present yourself to be a representative of CCP or an EVE Online volunteer. You may not impersonate or falsely present yourself to be a representative of another player, group of players, character or NPC entity.


So yes, if I say I'm a recruiter for Goonswarm and my alt is. There is no technical difference and I'll get "the spankering" from CCP.
The problem is that in RL law you need to have criminal intent to make the impersonation a crime. However in EVE online that does not have to prooven, only that person X syas he's person Y or a respresentative of such. Also they have to state that ingame.

PS: I'm not at all, it's just a bleeping example.

The only sensible advice in this thread imo.

Goonswarm is notorious for scamming players, by recruiting, They are also still salty after looseing deklin ;)

Yes I have been to minerbumping.com and read how you "Agents" revel in a real world murder and suicide, you use a tragedy to lay blame to anti-ganking and try to move forward with your own agenda standing on the very link to the news report. This is part of your codes legacy now. Are you and your compatriot's proud?

Here are the excerpts from your site:

My god. I know we always make jokes about anti-gankers being abusive to their wives and children and that we in The New Order are proud to "take the hits so that they don't have to" but this is actual proof that we were right.

Anti-gankers really are family abusing psychopaths.

And Kalynn Shardani is dead. RIP

"And they are starting to act like their AN HERO kalynn just before he prevented his child from becoming another ag shitter. Probably the smartest thing he ever did...."

GÇ£Nice wall of tears, loser. When you finally go crazy, don't forget your kids.GÇ¥

GÇ£Too bad your parents didn't have any kids that lived.GÇ¥

GÇ£Go AN HERO today, no one will care.GÇ¥

"And they are starting to act like their AN HERO kalynn just before he prevented his child from becoming another ag shitter. Probably the smartest thing he ever did...."

I honesty have to wonder about the mental and psychological state and fitness of any (alleged) 'human being' that can rejoice in the murder of an infant simply to promulgate their agenda, *especially* an agenda purely and solely based upon a computer game.

CODE, and the gankers that post here, oh-so-sanctimoniously condemn their victims for making "RL threats" in response to being impotently trolled and baited online, yet as you can see here they have absolutely *no* difficulty in reveling in the real-world murder of a child

I honestly have no idea what sort of person (and I use the term *extremely* loosely here, and in it's most generic sense) can find satisfaction and pleasure in the murder of a child. It boggles my mind and disgusts me in ways few things can do. And it equally baffles me why any sane person would want to willingly associate with, and applaud and cheer the activities of, such sociopaths, for only a sociopath would revel and rejoice in the murder of a child.

Forget Eve Online. Forget the game; its mechanics; its sandbox environment; its PvP genre and actions. We're talking about the real world here; a living, breathing *human child* that was murdered. To a normal society that is a hideous, heinous act condemned by all . . .

Except CODE . . .

Who feels that such a thing is just peachy-keen to crow about, and utilize to further their agenda, to fan the flames of their hatred for anything, and anyone, "anti-ganking".

Pick a side folks . . . and remember that the side you chose also reflects the humanity --or lack thereof-- inside you.
