I think empire ganks as a recruitment tool are not effective to get in 0.0 pvpers. I know i enjoy 10vs10 - 30vs30 fights the most, where the guy at the other computer im shooting at is the challenge, not how to get around gameplay restrictions to make carebears cry, or battle the lag more than the red ships. Dont get me wrong, griefing can be fun, but the people who would join an alliance based on that would most probably go for privateers or some similar empire wardec corp.
Im pretty sure that its in both cases just seasoned pvpers who are looking for something to get a laugh out of, not some permanent trend of vets going to empire spreading mayhem for all eternity.
As for the political stuff you spiced your post with, sounds far-fetched and quite irrelevant to your "theory". Tri has always enjoyed spreading grief, and i believe goonswarm is famous for it. Throwing those other alliances you mentioned into the mix isnt necessary nor sensible imo.
i dunno i plan on doing that as long as i can keep sec status its fun as hell.

Oh, I know it's not new. The theory is to explain the recent empire ganks, and nothing more. 
the privateers nerf gave you a safe empire. atleast for awhile.

I think you're reading too much into it.
It's just a quick and easy way to make isk for a corp without having to mine/npc/trade. I wouldn't say sitting for hours on end waiting for a good target is comparable to PVP in fun-factor =P

The plan is to snort half a g of Charles, drink half a bottle of Jack and suicide a Mothership into a hostile fleet.

I doubt it's anything that complex.
Pimped CNR suicide ganking have always been profitable (even more recently, however, with the ever-increasing price of gist mods), but for some reason, it wasn't really common knowledge. But as more people do it, that knowledge is spreading, inducing more people to do it.
As for hulks in high-sec, maybe some in GS felt the need of a change, to have a break time from the lagfest in Delve?

I think all the people with their pathetic one-liners should shut the hell up and actually participate in giving these forums some content worth reading. Honestly, it's getting worse every day.
DG posted something which was worth reading regardless if you found it untrue, ridiculous or if you completely agree with him.
EVE is a great game, greater content wise than any game I have played (and I was kicking ass on my tapedeck Commodore 64 in the day  and basicly played every popular title or cult game out there) But it is the only game with a forum that is lately becoming completely worthless. Just scroll up and down this thread and just honestly ask yourself what the point is all the posts in it. Out of all the responses maybe 5 where actually on topic and not some sad, sarcastic, quasi-whitty statement.
Ps. This is not just intended to the goons, but to also every alt poster and Eve player that tries to derail threads. If you don't have anything to say regarding the content of a thread just rephrain from posting in it.
To get down to DG's post, we've been seeing more and more Coalition gangs down in Catch and Providence the last few weeks, the assault on NOL as mentioned by BOB in a recent thread has been halted (albeit temporarily)and alot of them are fanning out and having fun elsewhere, including empire.
I think Tri and Goon moves in empire should not be seen as anything more as having fun, maybe they might put their time there to good use, but I don't think this is some evil masterplan coming to fruition.

You are overanalyzing a pretty simple thing DC. TRI do what they have done a long time. Goons are blowing some steam and rotating people because of a long and sometimes frustrating war.

Why would you even want to recruit people whose idea of end-game pvping is ganking some random noob running missions in a raven?

RA is up there because they only show up when there's big stuff to kill, and the whole russians = vodka = drunk = comedy stereotype.
I've never actualy seen RA do recruitement on eve-o.com
You're missing the whole eve-o.ru community I guess...
Or I totaly missunderstood your post :/

In Tri's case, probably. In Goons case? Just lame ganking. It speaks volumes that one alliance is taking on some of the most expensive combat ships in the game, and that the other is going for miners....

I don't see what goons empire suiciding has to do with recruitment, most GS corps aren't open to recruitment from outside anyway. You do get alot of excess security status from ratting in 0.0, so what better way to use it than suicide some hisec miners.
