The Mittani GoonFleet GoonSwarm	Posted - 2007.11.16 01:45:00 - [1] On this day we have lost a goon to the cold darkness of the void. A goon known and well loved by the eve community for his fearless honest posting style, the sort of goon who could get along with anyone, goon or non-goon. He fought side by side with us for seven months, and today he has passed beyond the gates into what lies beyond. This is a tribute thread for our brother CaptainGordon. You will be missed my friend. In the history of eve this loss will go among the great names that have left us before their time. In his honor we are naming the GQ2 Station after him, a testament to his memory which we hope will forever be respected by all the pod pilots of eve. We have collected some tributes to our friend and we'd like to share them with the community; this is a serious thread and we respectfully ask that it not be trolled. Originally by: Goodnight, sweet prince, by Snowden Vel Back when Goonfleet was coasting there was a goon who loved boasting to quiet the fuss he linked the anus and now he'll no longer be posting.

Dramaticus GoonFleet GoonSwarm	Posted - 2007.11.16 01:47:00 - [5] Friends and comrades, the light has gone out of our lives and there is darkness everywhere. I do not know what to tell you and how to say it. Our beloved leader, CaptainGordon as we called him, the father of these forums, is no more. Perhaps I am wrong to say that. Nevertheless, we will not see him again as we have seen him for these many years. We will not run to him for advise and seek solace from hi, and that is a terrible blow, not to me only, but to thousands and thousands in this game, and it is a little difficult to soften the blow by any other advise that I or anyone else can give you. The light has gone out, I said, and yet I was wrong. For the light that shone in this country was no ordinary light. The light that has illumined this game for these many years will illumine this forum for many more years, and a thousand years later that light will still be seen in this forum, and the world will see it and it will give solace to innumerable hearts. For that light represented the living truth ... the eternal truths, reminding us of the right path, drawing us from error, taking this ancient forum to freedom. All this has happened when there was so much more for him to do. We could never think that he was unnecessary or that he had done his task. But now, particularly, when we are faced with so many difficulties, his not being with us is a blow most terrible to bear. A madman has put an end to his life, for I can only call him mad who did it, and yet there has been enough of poison spread in this forum during the past years and months, and this poison has effect on people's minds. We must face this poison, we must root out this poison, and we must face all the perils that encompass and face them not madly or badly but rather in the way that our beloved teacher taught us to face them.. The first thing to remember no wish that no one of us dare misbehave because we're angry. We have to behave like strong and determined people, determined to face all the perils that surround us, determined to carry out the mandate that our great teacher and our great leader had given us, remembering always that if, as I believe, his sprit looks upon us and sees u, nothing would displease his soul so much as to see that we have indulged in any small behaviour or any violence. So we must not do that. But that does not mean that we should be weak, but rather that we should in strength and in unity face all the troubles and difficulties and conflicts must be ended in the face of this great disaster. A great disaster is a symbol to us to remember all the big things of life and forget the small things, of which we have thought too much.

Zucarito Gallente Ultrapolite Socialites GoonSwarm	Posted - 2007.11.16 01:50:00 - [11] Although i knew you little and short. Our time spent ratting was cherishable. Let this tribute echo through our generations. "I once knew a man named captian gordon Who decided to post a picture of an anus out of boredom He tricked pubby trash into looking at a mans ass For which the goons all rejoiced and adored him"

CobraBytez GoonFleet	Posted - 2007.11.16 01:53:00 - [14] CaptainGordon was the finest FC in GoonSwarm. Quote: Well.... I dont know where to begin. Apple boy gave me gang boss in 9-9 after we were getting blue balled left right and center, so I did the best I could. First off, we bubbled the 46dp gate and even killed a tristan! But then things started to go wrong very quickly. First of all, we were being fighterbombed by 15 km/s vagabonds, that were picking us off one by one, and despite my strategic planning we simply could not match their speed. Since goons were unwilling to sit at the 9-9 pos, I decided it would be a good idea to get the ** out of 9-9 and go with rise or something. I contacted Sesfan and told him of this, and he told me to go help KOS fight off some RISEgots in kw-. By then our 9-9 gang was dwindling due to ADD, goons going AFK and constant vagabond fighter bombing. Somehow I managed to get 7 people out of the 9-9, out of 20 odd some, and we pressed on to kw-. Much tsgotry was had and we hooked up with the UNL gang in the end. In the mean time, in a stroke of tactical genious, KOS decided that it would be a brilliant idea to use a dread as bait on one of the gates. When we approached the kw-, the KOS commander informed me that the BOB have ran off, so I ordered everyone to jump through. Ofcourse 2 seconds later i get messages like "OH GOONS SS" in chat, but its too *** late because we jumped though straight into a huge RISE gang. We all got desynched and lagged to ** and died in a matter of minutes. The UNL gang jumped in after us, and got bubbled by our own panicked dictor who died 2 seconds later. Apparently he thought he was bubbling RISE snipers or something Then KOS gang tried to get a covops warp in on the snipers, but I have no idea how that ended because everyone in KOS and UNL died or logged without giving me any sort of an update. I think the baiting dreadnought died too because it didnt have enough fuel to cyno out or something The goons in my gang had a laugh about this, so I guess at least this was entertaining. tl;dr Captain Gordon leads an op, goons die, allies die, capital ships die. I am so sorry Sesfan Kills: Tristan Losses: everything we had in gang + KOS gang + UNL gang and possibly a KOS dreadnought Never forget. ~~CaptainGordin~~
Mike Yass GoonFleet GoonSwarm	Posted - 2007.11.16 01:56:00 - [15] Alas, poor Captain Gordon! I knew him, Mittani: a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy: he hath borne me on his back a thousand times; and now, how abhorred in my imagination it is! my gorge rims at it. Here hung those lips that I have kissed I know not how oft. Where be your gibes now? your gambols? your songs? your flashes of merriment, that were wont to set the table on a roar? Not one now, to mock your own grinning? quite chap-fallen?

Sherkaner Lumpen GoonFleet GoonSwarm	Posted - 2007.11.16 01:56:00 - [19] The Poasting I poast for ban, and take my poasting slow. I feel my fate in what I cannot fear. I learn by goatseing where I have to go. We think by feeling. What is there to know? I hear my being dance from ear to ear. I poast for ban, and take my poasting slow. Of those so close beside me, which are you? God bless the forum! I shall walk softly there, And learn by goatseing where I have to go. Light takes the Tree; but who can tell us how? The lowly goon climbs up a winding stair; I poast for ban, and take my poasting slow. Great Mittani has another thing to do To you and me, so take the lively air, And, lovely, learn by goatseing where to go. This shaking keeps me steady. I should know. What falls away is always. And is near. I poast for ban, and take my poasting slow. I learn by goatseing where I have to go.

Dangerously Cheesey GoonFleet GoonSwarm	Posted - 2007.11.16 01:58:00 - [22] Goodbye Captain Gordon. Your legacy lives on in each of our hearts.
Schigolch Merch Industrial GoonSwarm	Posted - 2007.11.16 01:59:00 - [23] CAPTAIN GORDON You may talk o' loot and salv When you're quartered far from delve, An' you're sent to harvest tears and go***fagging; But when it comes to POS Ops You will do your work on his posts, An' you'll lick the bloomin' boots of 'im that's posting. Now in Eve's sunny clime, Where I used to spend my time A-servin' of thosegots they call GoonSwarm, Of all them blackfaced crew The finest man I knew Was our "special needs" poster, Captain Gordon. He was "Gordon! Gordon! Gordon! You limpin' lump o' -post, Captain Gordon! Hi! slippery hitherao! Drama, get it! Panee lao! You squidgy-nosed old idol, Captain Gordon." The avatar 'e wore Was nothin' much before, An' rather less than 'arf o' that be'ind, For a piece o' forum ink An' a goatse img-link Was all the field-equipment 'e could find. When the sweatin'gots lay In a forum through the day, Where the 'posts would make your bloomin' eyebrows crawl, We shouted "MAEK POAST!" Till our throats were like charred-toast, Then we wopped 'im 'cause 'e couldn't burn us all. It was "Gordon! Gordon! Gordon! You 'eathen, where the mischief 'ave you been? You put some tallsting in it Or I'll kick you right this minute If you don't get banned on EVE-O, Captain Gordon!" 'E would quote an' carry one Till the longest thread was done; An' 'e didn't seem to know the use o' taste. If we spammed or launched or threadnaut, You could bet your bloomin' dreadnought, 'E'd be waitin' firstpost page 2 keepin' pace. With 'is red cape on 'is back, 'E would skip with our attack, An' watch us till the Mittani made "Retire", An' for all 'is dirty 'ide 'E was , pure white, inside When 'e went to tend the spam threads under fire! It was "Gordon! Gordon! Gordon!" With the iceburns kickin' dust-spots on the green. When the MLYP ran out, You could hear the top posts shout, "Hi! Post with your alts an' Captain Gordon!" I shan't forgit the night When I dropped be'ind the fight With a :masterstroke: where my belt-plate should 'a' been. I was chokin' mad with weak posts, An' the man that gets the goons most Was our good old grinnin', gruntin' Captain Gordon. 'E lifted up my 'ead, An' he plugged me where I bled, An' 'e guv me 'arf-a-thread o' terrible grammar: It was crawlin' and it stunk, But of all the thoughts I've thunk, I'm gratefullest to one from Captain Gordon. It was "Gordon! Gordon! Gordon! 'Ere's a beggar with a killmail through 'is spleen; 'E's chawin' up the ground, An' 'e's kickin' all around: For Gawd's sake git the drama, Captain Gordon!" 'E carried me away To where a forum lay, An' a b& come an' drilled the beggar clean. 'E put me safe inside, An' just before 'e died, "I 'ope you liked your drama", sez Captain Gordon. So I'll meet 'im later on At the place where 'e is gone -- Where it's always double infractions and no ; 'E'll be squattin' on the coals Givin' drama to poor damned souls, An' I'll get a poast in hell from Captain Gordon! Yes, Gordon! Gordon! Gordon! You Lazarushian-leather Captain Gordon! Though I've trolled you and flamed you, By the livin' Gawd that made you, You're a better **poster than I am, Captain Gordon!
