Nobody cares who you think are the "worst type of people in EVE". Nobody even knows what being the worst type of people in EVE constitutes - worst at what, or in relation to what? Aside from that, calling GS the "statistically safest option" is just a blatant display of stupidity as it should be quite obvious to anyone that GS is not the statistically safest option.
Well, actually quite a few people care. I think his views are spot on, and so do most of the Eve community. In my view, Goons are 'the worst type of people in Eve' for very obvious reasons. They have clearly stated themselves that their aim in Eve is to destroy the game for all non-Goons as much as possible. Hence:
- the threadnoughts - the posts and sigs mocking the deceased - the frequent racist outbursts and ****ographic image posting - the deliberate use of tactics to maximise lag in system, such as lagging out systems with noob ships. - the metagaming and r/l bullying of people from opposing alliances.
So yeah, I'd say that's the worst kid of player in Eve.

What makes you think you can speak for "most of the EVE community"? Sure, you and your four-five space pals don't like goons and maybe some people agree with you, but nobody cares about that any more than the other douche I quoted. We define ourselves through being disliked by idiots, because if people like you hate us, we must be doing something right. ---------

Nice troll, but we were hated long before we did (most of) that stuff. We just sort of ran with the whole pariah complex BoB had imposed on us.
By the way the whole JihadSwarm thing is a clever system we've developed to manipulate Jita and make trillions of ISK. True story.

Some of the above i find a bit distasteful and others i find down right sick on a personal level but as far as in game is concerned the thing i found unforgivable as i have said before was threatening the game itself for the sole reason to hurt an alliance that was beating them.
Nobody ever really liked GOONS cos of their childish attitude towards every aspect of the game they were bad at (and thats a lot of stuff) but threatening the game showed them to be more than just noisy pathetic children it showed them to be a group of the most disgusting metagamers in the history of mmo's imho.

This thread was like a drug trip for me, awesome and happy then it got better when CVA started blasting these awesome posts. Then jade came along posted his :words: and now the garbage can has teeth and its comeing for me thanks jade thank you for ruining the best thread in CAOD.
As one of them drone goons i can tell you this, i play for pew pew and i literally dont give a damn whats under my pew pew, sessyfan says go to A and shoot B YAY! PEW PEW PEW thats pretty much how the swarm works. So when you say who is this QU'LAH?(RP name prolly helped him here), he is the one who tells me where A is and who B is and theres a whole swarm listening in. We are alot like BoB and like BoBs current situation it requires one of us to destroy the other. So even if we dident have all our allies you'd end up burning out while we riddle your alliance with spys then slowly devour you laughing.
If GS and BoB were to ally... hahaha eve would be ours in months and we would build up all your little anthills to kick over but then we would all leave EVE so NO MOLLE NO I WILL NOT BE YOUR FRIEND.

Originally by: Zorlag "The "one-liner" / meme-joke / perl letter script / throwaway pop-culture-theft-mechanics endlessly propagated down the goon hierarchy from the leaders to the drones and practiced as mono-cultural "passports" to goon e-respect and virtual esteem"
I wonder which one of these categories the phrase "brevity is the soul of wit" falls into
In truth I think I'll have to invent a new one especially for a "misunderstood Shakespeare quote" to adequately encompass this particular lemming drone rush. Allow me to explain:
The phrase "brevity is the soul of wit" comes from an ancient play called Hamlet. Its context is that a particularly long-winded courtier (who previously in the play has greatly frustrated the royals by a seeming medical incapacity to come to any sort of a point, spiels out this maxim in the process of using eleven lines to tell them their son "is mad".
This business is well ended. My liege, and madam, to expostulate What majesty should be, what duty is, Why day is day, night night, and time is time, Were nothing but to waste night, day and time. Therefore, since brevity is the soul of wit, And tediousness the limbs and outward flourishes, I will be brief: your noble son is mad: Mad call I it; for, to define true madness, What is't but to be nothing else but mad? But let that go. - Lord Polonius
So what does that tell us Zorlag? Well the playwright is not himself a man over known for brevity of course, his crafting of the language quite notorious for verbal flourishes and beautiful theatrics of rhetoric and poise. And of course he is the most quoted (and misquoted) writer in our language.
But in the context of the play whence the quote you flourish so proudly comes the phrase "brevity is the soul of wit" issues from the mouth of a hypocritical buffoon who believes no such thing and is incapable of saying anything pointed, brief or scant in words whatsoever. Its a foolish thing said by a foolish man in a very clever man's play Zorlag. I'll grant you that common usage has largely forgotten the context of the phrase in its setting, but amusing is it not to find the Swarm championing the words of Polonius himself ranked high amongst the foremost hilariously inept public speakers in Shakespeare's wider body of work?
But did Shakespeare himself believe that "brevity is the soul of wit" I hear you ask!
Hmmm, I have my doubts I must admit. He was certainly not a writer given to saying in one line what could be expressed in every glorious rhetorical aspect in a hundred. And why would a playwright wish to "be brief" I wonder? I imagine the crowds at the globe and the provincial sites of those plays would have been horrified to see the famous st crispin's day monologue reduced to:
"Damn those lazy buggers back in England, we're going to win anyway and then they'll be sorry!" -HenryV
No dear Zorlag, I think you make a mistake to hold up Shakespeare and his "brevity is the soul of wit" (mis-quote) from Polonius to assault me with. Clearly the author felt otherwise and his character mouthing the advise was laughably incapable of meaning it.
But since we're on the subject now of "wit" let me advise you some further research and entertainment on the subject. There is a fantastic French language film entitled Ridicule you really should see. Its about the cult of wit amongst the courtiers of Versailles in the period immediately before the French revolution. It will certainly open your eyes on the subject.
My favorite part includes a scene where a Frenchman newly returned from England explains to a sumptuous court party that the English have a thing called "hew-mor", "is it like Wit?" "not really."
The problem with wit dear chap, it cannot exist on an internet forum. It is a thing for face to face confrontation and rapid-fire exchange in social combat. Its poise and timing, it is not text posting and repetition.

Well TBH Skullduggery Inc haven't lost a single fleet battle yet, so I don't know what you're talking about.
If you're talking about BoB, I thought they lost sytems to the whole Coalition? Or are you claiming that it was just Goonswarm? PS - it's territory, not terretory.

Well that means someone in the coalition must be more effective than BoB to make up for our total ineffectiveness, right?
So tell us Mr. Windy, who in the coalition is effective?

So to go along your logic... you vs a single fire ant will mostly result in a dead ant. You versus 10000000 fire ants will result in you being dead. So does that mean (following your logic) there was an ant among milions that was stronger then me and would of killed me off with one sting???

Let me spell it out for you, since you're clearly struggling to keep up.
- Goons are famously bad at PVP - Goons are a member of a larger group called 'The Coalition' which has sworn to bring destruction to BoB - 'The Coalition' contains some alliances that are famously good at PVP - To repeat point 1, Goons are still famously bad at PVP
