cal nereus Bounty Hunter - Dark Legion Curse Alliance	Posted - 2007.08.16 09:26:00 - [1] As a word of warning, this is a Goon thread. So it'll probably stop being civilized two sentences ago. In Eve Online, there are a ton of alliances and bajillions of corporations. (Bajillions isn't a number by the way). However, it seems that the vast majority of corporations and alliances in Eve are created by players in the game. Now, you might think "well, duh, an Eve alliance would be made by Eve players" but I caution you to cast your eyes on one alliance that defies this concept: Goonswarm. Goonswarm, and its principle member Goonfleet, consists of a majority of people who were allies before they even started playing the game Eve online. Goons were Goons before they even knew what Eve Online was. Incidentally, they remain Goons even when they join different alliances in game, and when they stop playing, they're still Goons. There are even Goons in several alliances that are deemed "BoB pets." But that's just a tangent. The point I'm trying to get at is that Goonfleet was formed by people who were comrades before they started playing, and thus the ties that bind the corporation are fairly strong, although as noted there are some Goons that leave for other parts of the game, even joining the "BoB pets." What other alliances in Eve were formed by people outside of the game? Sure, an alliance might have a bbq or some other event to meet IRL, or they might form bonds of friendship, but they only do so in the context of the game. Most alliances consist of players who join the game first, pursue their own interests, join an alliance they think looks good and might or might not stay for a while. A Goon is a Goon right from the start, joins the alliance, then joins the game, is pursuing the group's collective goal, and only leaves if the Goonswarm, alliance, 0.0, or fleet battle aspects of the game don't appeal to them. Oh, and we can't forget Goonwaffe. Good ol' forgotten Goonwaffe is a lot like Goonswarm, but smaller and less controversile. Any other alliances that are formed by people before they starting playing the game? --- Grismar.net
phoenix fireball Amarr Ars ex Discordia GoonSwarm	Posted - 2007.08.16 09:31:00 - [2] I believe Sturmgrenadier Inc is also a multi-game community. I remember them from my planetside days.

KIATheClash Caldari State War Academy	Posted - 2007.08.16 09:41:00 - [4] KIA originally a HL AG clan fps clan if you will , now after 9 years their not a "clan" anymore but more liek a community , their players represent KIA in games liek EvE , WoW , and ofc FPS games such as BF 2 , ET QW and ofc our legendary late night ts sessions among teh old skool guys ;) ------------------------ Mods this is currently my main .
Sakura Nihil Tabula Rasa Systems The Star Fraction	Posted - 2007.08.16 09:42:00 - [5] If I remember right, wasn't ASCN formed in Earth & Beyond? I know for a fact a corp called the Arrow Project came from an online browser game called Earth 2025, but other than that nothing really rings a bell.
Damarkin Meridian Dynamics FREGE Alliance	Posted - 2007.08.16 09:44:00 - [6] I know of a few corps that were formed from members of multigame communities, OTG and TOG as examples, but only one alliance, goons. Most multi game communities don't have the following the goons do, and have to join a larger alliance to experience all Eve has to offer. My old corp is part of a multigame group, and I know Roadkill has a few TOG guys in it.

I remember them from my planetside days. Bastards, I think I remember being plasmaed back into base several times by them :? TOG isnt an alliance, but our greater community has around 10000 members, and we play in many many games. Most of the guys that I have been in corp with over the years are friends from other games. In fact, half our command staff used to play planetside together. The biggest advantage I always felt it gave us was an element of trust that can be difficult to gain in EVE

Karunel Princeps Corp YouWhat	Posted - 2007.08.16 09:52:00 - [9] Xanadu and some other corporations from back in the day were gaming groups which had come togheter from other games. I'd say there are many examples, it's just that GoonFleet is, you know, big. ____ Originally by: elbenito The problem with large fleet engagements is that the hamsters stop to watch.
Iasius Warp Angels Free Trade Zone.	Posted - 2007.08.16 09:53:00 - [10] I endorse this thread as by many i am considered a turncoat. I liven the place up But i have brought many RL mates into the games who would have not done so if i started my own corp of gigolos. Spreading the corruption to everyone on the planet one by one . Warp Angels - Acorns To Trees. Now Recruiting.

Snarker Caldari Dragon's Rage Intrepid Crossing	Posted - 2007.08.16 09:53:00 - [11] Edited by: Snarker on 16/08/2007 09:53:44 Originally by: Sakura Nihil If I remember right, wasn't ASCN formed in Earth & Beyond? I don't know about being formed in EnB, but I know lots of members of ASCN were EnB refugees. And of course, not really an alliance but, according to Eve-History M0o was a Counter-strike clan. ----------------------------------------

Vegeta Minmatar Omniscient Order	Posted - 2007.08.16 10:22:00 - [14] Edited by: Vegeta on 16/08/2007 10:22:25 I think you'll find that many successful corps in Eve consist of players who had ties before coming to the game. These include Evolution, m0o corp, Xanadu, 4S and Sinister. Not all of these still exist today, but few can argue against that in their prime, they certainly were successful.
S3dINSTBE The JORG Corporation FATAL Alliance	Posted - 2007.08.16 10:26:00 - [15] Edited by: S3dINSTBE on 16/08/2007 10:27:07 TBE (at the end of my name you might notice) is The British Empire and is a multigame clan playing FPS MMORPG RTS and other game types I'm sure. I was a member of TBE before I heard about EVE and when one of the guys said he'd been playing for a couple of years I decided to join only to find that there were lots of TBEers in The JORG corporation. Most of the corp members have now become members of TBE. I don't think there's anything sinster about the Goons having the same deal on a larger scale i.e. an alliance. After all it is just a game.......isn't it??? http://www.thebritishempire.org ______________________________________________________ Originally by: jarack I de-synced in my bathroom once, now i have no where to wash my hands

Ambo 2nd Outcasters	Posted - 2007.08.16 11:22:00 - [19] Outcasters was formed in Planetside, there we have around 300 members. Here... about 4 active.
Kulat Black Omega Security Pandemic Legion	Posted - 2007.08.16 11:22:00 - [20] A number of planetarion alliances came over to eve , highest profile probably Xanadu along with a few others . i believe some of my Fury colleges may have . Oh Fury > all the rest ( even after all this time :) Thief's and Pirates Forever =============================== Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy

Jacinta Bracken Total Mayhem.	Posted - 2007.08.16 11:28:00 - [21] I'm curious why people think giving $$ to the guy who runs SA bonds you more closely than giving $$ to CCP? I would suggest that their shared mentality 'goonyness' is more important than their out of game ties through another internet community. In this way they have no greater advantage than any other in-game group that defines itself by a distinct set of ideals (cf. Red Alliance, BoB, CVA etc etc).

Brmble Minmatar GoonFleet GoonSwarm	Posted - 2007.08.16 11:36:00 - [23] IIRC AAA is (was?) a very good Q3 and CS clan. When I was watching Q3 demos for fun I always liked theirs the best. Dunno if any of those players are now playing eve. ~ no not believin in urself ~
Fendragun Destructive Influence Band of Brothers	Posted - 2007.08.16 11:46:00 - [24] Its true xanadu came across from planetarion and other games before that. In the game of planetarion i played in a group called Critters who all joined eve with xanadu - we were joined later by much of the fury/eclipse team including focht qd and dread. Xanadu did very well in PA and they did in their day do very well in EvE, very proud to have been a member EX-DICE CEO EX-ATUK Director EX-MACE CEO EX-Xanadu Officer

Sapphrine The Littlest Hobos Betrayal Under Mayhem	Posted - 2007.08.16 11:59:00 - [26] Originally by: Kulat A number of planetarion alliances came over to eve , highest profile probably Xanadu along with a few others . i believe some of my Fury colleges may have . Oh Fury > all the rest ( even after all this time :) Thief's and Pirates Forever Vengeance > fury :P I played alot of PA over the years but the first rounds with the Thief's and pirates were the most amusing :) Holding off 100 odd VtS assaults for two weeks was.... a challenge. Doing it whilst losing roids and gaining fleet every time was just amusing :P
Hardin Amarr Imperial Dreams Curatores Veritatis Alliance	Posted - 2007.08.16 12:10:00 - [27] Titans pwned all in Planetarion (with help of LDK). (I was also in Elysium one round and also Wolfpack - if anyone remembers them) I was even in #2 gal one round. EVE is like a holiday camp compared to the dedication needed to be a leading planet in PA. Legion (VTS) are in EVE - I recently created an alliance for them. Also some Blue Tubas I think... Oooooomph... It was Xanadu's announcement they were leaving PA which made me check out EVE for the first time. Many of the members of Imperial Dreams (the biggest CVA corp) all came from a different game called TDZK which I never played... ------------------------------ CVA - Kicking Arse For The Empire - http://eve-files.com/dl/83607
G0rF Gallente The Causality Electus Matari	Posted - 2007.08.16 12:56:00 - [28] I think there may be a lot more of these cross-game communities forming Eve Corps than you might be aware of... The Causality international MMO gamers' community

NO BRAKES GoonFleet GoonSwarm	Posted - 2007.08.16 13:54:00 - [31] Is The Imperial Order formed from an out of game group or is it just that I've seen a lot of other guys in WoW, SWG, etc with the same name?
Astasia Orian Black Eclipse Corp Band of Brothers	Posted - 2007.08.16 14:05:00 - [32] The name is a rip of something from Terry Goodkind's fantasy series so it's prolly a different group every time.
Ather Ialeas Amarr Space Perverts and Forum Warriors United Cult of War	Posted - 2007.08.16 14:10:00 - [33] FinFleet is part of FinNexus which is a multi-game community. I believe Fury Ry (another Finnish multi-game community) tried to get people interested of EVE at one point but I think they failed. Also Karjala Inc/IRON has lately evolved into a multi-game community, it was born as purely EVE commune though. [ insert fancy sig here ]
Barwinius Ars ex Discordia	Posted - 2007.08.16 14:25:00 - [34] Ars ex Discordia is one of two corps recruiting off of the ArsTechnica community.
Ian Novarider Aliastra	Posted - 2007.08.16 14:26:00 - [35] Yazuka Crime Syndicate YCS is a multi game community, having originated in Star Wars Galaxies. http://www.zodiacmatrix.com/ycs/forums/category-view.asp As a corp in EVE it was short lived , as most players have only joined EVE for a short time, looking for the spaceflight aspect they knew from SWG. Since then the remaining YCS members have joined other corporations and alliances in EVE. Many YCS players are either back in SWG (it changed for the better in 2007) or playing WoW (the mayority) & Lord of the Rings Online. Some are looking forward to Warhammer and Conan. Have fun Quote: Ceterum censeo BoB delendam esse.
thoth foc Destructive Influence Band of Brothers	Posted - 2007.08.16 15:11:00 - [36] I have always been quite interested in this type of behaviour. While certainly there is the obvious benefits to ingame group being a subsection of a greater community. There are also benefits to being a group solely focused on a single game. (One methods strength is largely anothers weakness) Originally by: cal nereus The point I'm trying to get at is that Goonfleet was formed by people who were comrades before they started playing, and thus the ties that bind the corporation are fairly strong.. Being comrades outside of eve is certainly a help when it comes to 'fun' aspects of game and things like recruiting new players to the game, but i'm not sure it is overly relevant to goal based game play, when the goals are ingame achievements. If your a skilled pilot looking for fun CS style eve play, being a member of a community really going to help when your being told regularly "hey this is a mandatory op.. you'll be lagged to hell or bored out of your mind.. just do it". It is easy to be 'fun' when your not under pressure, but during major wars, you have largely fleet lag and POS shooting to look forward to right until the war is over. Game focused groups recruit the type of player that fits their style. Community recruitment, recruits number and hopes enough stay to achieve their leaderships goals. From experience of other games, the larger outside community associated with an ingame group, the easier it becomes to get spies into ingame groups, and at a certain point the outside community becomes detrimental to a successful (achievement based) ingame group. Recruiting inexperienced players works to an extent, usually until the ingame group start losing members to more "fun" (in eve, non territorial) groups, which eventually large groups do. Originally by: cal nereus A Goon is a Goon right from the start, joins the alliance, then joins the game, is pursuing the group's collective goal, and only leaves if the Goonswarm, alliance, 0.0, or fleet battle aspects of the game don't appeal to them. And if the "goon" is a member of another community already? This type of recruitment has strengths, but it also has weaknesses.. _________________________ xMenta (DSMA) xBOS (CA) xATUK (.5.)

Namelesz Tachyon Combined Technologies	Posted - 2007.08.16 15:35:00 - [37] TCT was formed originally from a couple HomeWorld/Cataclysm clans which were multi-game; involved in also Mechwarrior, ORB, GR, and a couple others. Oh yea, and just like here in Eve, we used to bash Kayo back then too. LOL!
Kymlicka GoonFleet GoonSwarm	Posted - 2007.08.16 15:46:00 - [38] Originally by: cal nereus Oh, and we can't forget Goonwaffe. Good ol' forgotten Goonwaffe is a lot like Goonswarm, but smaller and less controversile. Goonwaffe was the Goonfleet spillover corporation before the skill Sovereignty was released, which allowed us to merge Fleet, Waffe, and Platoon.
Imhothar Xarodit Minmatar Wolverine Solutions Interstellar Alcohol Conglomerate	Posted - 2007.08.16 15:46:00 - [39] Wolverine Solutions has been formed 7 years before the beginning of EVE as a Mechwarrior clan.
Paddlefoot Aeon Neogen Industries Fallen Souls	Posted - 2007.08.16 15:57:00 - [40] Though not my corp, I know that Synergy Evolved is a multi-game clan, that started long before EVE was on the map... though I think when they joined EVE... their real clan name of "Synergy" was taken, so they became Synergy Evolved. Hydraslav, anything you wanna add? -----------------------------------------------

Iasius Warp Angels Free Trade Zone.	Posted - 2007.08.16 16:00:00 - [41] My first mmo clan was The Halibuts in Planetside, we created the 100 Max suit zerg on bases. Did Wow with the fish now roped some of them to my corp. . Warp Angels - Acorns To Trees. Now Recruiting.
ForumPosterAlt HERRO KITTY	Posted - 2007.08.16 16:04:00 - [42] There are many corporations and alliances like that. What makes entities like goonfleet and WANG unique are that they are recruited from out-of-game websites like something aweful and penny arcade. And then their leaders, like any good leader does, molds them into shape. Goonfleet in particular takes people that have never played before and throw them straight into 0.0 space, losing many ships early on and often. And imo, what makes Goonfleet special is that they don't know how to lose. Beat them up, take all their isk, take their systems, who cares, most of them have never learned to covet their eve-stuff for being baptized in 0.0 pvp at birth. Their overall success in sovereignty wars is due to the strategists in their coalition, which all eve players should recognized as some of the best, if not the best, at what they do. For the rest of the goons, they don't care about their stuff, the amount of isk in their wallet, or whatever the hell is going on with the complicated sovereignty, they just want to jump into a ship they can currently afford to lose and go shoot the enemy. I mean, how do you defeat an unrelenting, demoralization immune enemy? You can win battles, you can declare victory, you can call them all sorts of names, you can be indisputably superior in all ways, but if they never stop fighting you then.. what does any of that really mean? Because posting on the forums is serious business.

After a while i got banned from the forums and quit during the long gaps in time.
Righteous Fury Slacker Industries Exuro Mortis	Posted - 2007.08.16 17:04:00 - [44] The leadership of SL has been gaming together for 6+ years, having come from the C&C community - a number of us ran or worked for fansites of the time. The rest of the corp has a varied background, but through our Eve link we've expanded into several other games as well. I think you'll find that Goonswarm is hardly unique.

Thought I recognised the name 'hirr' from somewhere.. still suicidal hamsters? :D Alas, I only know of the old planetarion alliances... Have seen Legion (Victorie te Salutant), FURY, Xanadu, hirr.. closest I've seen to BT was 'Big Blue' though :( VtS started as a PA alliance, then went into multi-gaming after (i think) Eve.

I believe you are right. I'm reading these response and I'm pleasantly surprised. As someone said, Goonswarm is just big, and that's really why I noticed it. These others are impressive, albeit smaller. I can only see as far in front of me as my own hand though. --- Grismar.net

Diehard Si UK1 Zero Red Moon Federation	Posted - 2007.08.16 19:12:00 - [52] Edited by: Diehard Si on 16/08/2007 19:12:52 Originally by: Colonel Ripper Bastards, I think I remember being plasmaed back into base several times by them :? TOG isnt an alliance, but our greater community has around 10000 members, and we play in many many games. Most of the guys that I have been in corp with over the years are friends from other games. In fact, half our command staff used to play planetside together. The biggest advantage I always felt it gave us was an element of trust that can be difficult to gain in EVE I remember playing TOG in your first Bf2 match i think, I was commanding UK1 at the time. Thats if you are the UK TOG anyway. UK1 is ( or was ) a multi gaming clan. Funnily enough it was the arrival of Eve to the clan, and the disappointment of BF2142 that kind of saw the end of it. UK1 Zero now contines for the Eve players, and a place for the old UK1 members that didn't want the clan to die. Bring quake wars or another good shooter and i'm sure we'll rise again -------------------------------------- Lets face it, people that use the word 'noob' are blatantly either 12 or with more friends on the internet than in real life!
Staytham Valve	Posted - 2007.08.16 20:17:00 - [53] It's perhaps interesting to look and see what corps went on to other games and played together successfully in other worlds. I half remember toward the end of the Curse Alliance, VOTF going off to form a guild in WOW and I'm sure Shinra had a BF Vietnam clan going, although their only noteworthy contribution there was to offer cheap gob jobs around the back of the Quang Tri Citadel.

Quasar Black Minmatar Rens 911	Posted - 2007.08.16 20:24:00 - [55] Goons aren't necessarily "friends" per say. Its more that they have to stick together because the only people who "get" goons are other goons. Personally I would have no problem with many of my goon brethren suffering some sort of horrible fate, but at the end of the day I'll stick by them because they're the only other people who understand when I laugh at a tragedy, or poo my pants.

The Ooooomph brand still remains, albeit at a slightly diminished capacity. ;) Xanadu was probably PA's biggest successful transfer - although hirr are still around of course, although I've been told not many PAers are left running things. Ah and we can't forget DICE, many of whom will recall 4am ETA6 "incs". -Patrician - Ooooomph!

Sure SA members are proud of it and it's no surprise that EVE players have something in common have easier to get along than the random guy you recruit to the corp. I really don't see what you want to show with this topic.

NokNok Sturmgrenadier Inc R i s e	Posted - 2007.08.17 00:42:00 - [60] Xanadu is still active in a few games like Everquest 2(high end raiding) and Vanguard. I've actually been with their EQ2 squad for nearly 3 years now till I went over to VG and very soon after that Eve. You might also find them in PoTBS soon. SG is also multigaming like Xanadu is. That's what got me to sign up with them. I've joined them recently in Eve and I see a lot of old Xanadu players tagged red now ;)

This is funny for two reasons. First of all, you're allied with them. You might consider not flaming them for that on the forums. Second, you're in KOS, for gods sake.

NATMav F.R.E.E. Explorer EVE Animal Control	Posted - 2007.08.17 15:40:00 - [65] We're made up of primarily old Tribes players and TribalWar forum *****s. In fact, we were bitter rivals of the SA forums, including a few forum invasions back in the day. So in essence, we were fighting Goons before they came to EvE, fighting them when they started EvE, and now we've put aside our differences to purge a greater evil.
Eolais GoonFleet GoonSwarm	Posted - 2007.08.17 16:23:00 - [66] Unless I'm missing something else, Goonwaffe was nothing more than a spillover corporation for Goonfleet (except we in Waffe were superior in all ways (except for our CEO)) back before sovereignty was released and being willing to shovel out the resources to create an alliance. Basically, Goonfleet hit the maximum limit of members, and so Goonwaffe was created to handle a higher number of individuals than what a corporation could have allowed at the time. This is why we posted the huge threadnaught along with the Sad Little Bee thing a while back. So, when Goonwaffe was created, most of us were randomly divided up into two groups--those who stayed with Goonfleet, and those who would go and join Goonwaffe. It really started to show how much of a paradigm we were for cheap structuring. We were two corps flying under the banner of one corporation, which was in turn part of an alliance that wasn't really an official alliance. It worked out well economically. The only real issues were with role and access restrictions that didn't translate well from corp-to-corp. Goonwaffe constantly got screwed over with access to community resources, but I guess it doesn't matter anymore because it's a non-issue. IAfter Goonfleet was able to accomodate more members, especially after the alliance was created, people pretty much moved from Goonwaffe back to Goonfleet. I don't know who has control of Waffe anymore but it's not active anymore AFAIK.

Fortuk Monmouth MetaForge Ekliptika	Posted - 2007.08.17 17:19:00 - [68] i came over to this game because some of the people i knew from when i played planetside and counterstrike played it. The Final Stand is a multi-gaming clan, and thats how i got here, back when they had The Final Stand as a corp, then it became john basedow industries...then last i heard some of them went into MC. Hi Fear!! really your going to see a lot of clans move into new games when they come out, clanmates will talk about how good the game is, and more will move over and they will start a clan/corp/whatever in the new game. The corp im in now has many of the members from The Final Stand Planetside division that came over. Originally by: hango Our corp chat is generally full of people e-hugging and e-snuggling. ISD is cool like that.

Friznit 5punkorp Betrayal Under Mayhem	Posted - 2007.08.17 19:21:00 - [70] Edited by: Friznit on 17/08/2007 19:23:23 5punkorp was formed a couple of years back by a bunch of guys from the 5punk.co.uk forum, a casual gaming spin off from b3ta.com You'll find 5punkers all over the place, from BF2 to Magical Faaabulous Fairy Land. The irony is that in Eve, our greatest strength is also our greatest weakness. People who join from within Eve become 5punkers, not just members of 5punkorp. As such, we tend to find people remain in the corp until they quit Eve. But insofar as retention is not a problem, it's equally emotionally very hard to kick a 5punker from the corp if he's not pulling his weight and becoming a persistent drain on corp resources. But I guess as long as everyone is having fun that's all that matters. This is, after all, a computer game!
