And this is news how?
I mean Goons have been doing this for years, I thought most of EVE knew this, apparently not.
All you had to do is perform little research and you would have found topics about Goons scamming in their dozens. You should count yourself lucky you only lost 300 Mill.
Goons "recruited" a guy with a carrier and allowed him to move it and ALL of his worldly possessions to Goon space then they blew him up. That must have been interesting.
Welcome to EVE, where Goons have their own bloody universe and rest of us roll our eyes.

Sounds fair to me. It's like an idiot tax - if you pay it, you're obviously too stupid to be in their corp.

It cost you 300 million ISK to find out that they actually just want your money. That's unfortunate. Still, you won't make that mistake again. |

Haven't there been enough of these that people know by now? Goonfleet will not recruit you unless you pay for 6 months of somethingawful.com forums first.
It's 3 months.

Originally by: Argathos II The corporation of Goonswarm and any of its members will scam you out of all of your isk for paying fake payments or "legit" to them to join the corp. I was taken for 300 million isk, and the same shouldnt happen to people Legitimately looking for a corp. Do NOT apply to them, and find another place to spend your isk and your time.
not likely to generate any sympathy given you were trying to join goonswarm

Little bit of goon history just to be fun
Goons where not born out of eve. Goons have been around in many games. They only allow people who are part of something awful forums in period. They are a community that decided to join eve and they are a private one at that.
IF YOU ARENT IN SA FORUMS AND TRY TO JOIN THEY WILL JUST STEAL EVERY LAST HUNDREDTH OF AN ISK THEY CAN GET FROM YOU.

You don't actually have to be from the SA forums to be in Goonswarm as an alliance though, just need to be from there to be in Goonfleet and a few of the other GS corporations. A lot of corporations in Goonswarm aren't real goons and don't have that requirement.

Edited by: Taliesyn on 16/07/2008 16:54:21 The best part about all of this is that on his third thread in the Auth Forum (which really is the best forum), he's STILL asking how he can get into Goonfleet. It apparently hasn't crossed his mind that he pretty much has zero chance, even if he DOES go away and post on SA for a few months.

The only good Goon, is the one who has you locked in his sights just before you die. On a side note... never give anyone isk to join a corp. That is just stupid. No, wait, let me re-phrase that... the word Darwinism comes to my mind.

All they do their recruitment forum (http://goonfleet.com/) is take peoples isk; just read some of the previous threads in the Vandee Yarr Memorial Authentication Forum ( A public forum for "recruitment") about people applying for a sponsor. (If they havent already deleted it.)
Note: If you do take a look you will find that they have moved my post entitled "To The Admin of Goonswarm" away from the public forum to cover up what is truely going on. I also post on their public forum warning others about what I am stating here.
I know I have fallen for this horrendous scam, but others need to know so that they will not become of the same fate. Please avoid them for your own sake.
Thanks for your time to read this, Argathos II
I am shocked and appalled that you were only scammed out of 300mil isk, some poor goon really didn't know he was onto a winner right here...
If you find yourself in a fair fight, something has gone wrong

This is all unfoundet, blatant lies.
Goons do not do this thing so they can scam yu, they need you and your isk to fight mighty dragon and maybe fight bob while we are at it.

Every interaction I have had to date with members of Goonfleet has been positive. I can't say the same about members of the Band of Brothers. My character is neutral to both, BoB members have been shall we say "less than friendly" and this is in HIGH-SEC not low/null sec.
Given that experience so far, I would sooner help or come to the aid of a Goonfleet member than a BoB member any-day.

read the goonfleet corp info.... that should be enough to clear things up
goonfleet does not OPEN recruit. only way in is if you are a member of the something awful forums for a set period of time.
goons will scam everyone who doesnt join that way... quite good idiot filter :) ---------------------------------- Fighting for Minmatar o7 Yes... this is my main. Extreme Troll Slayer...

OP = Monumental Failure
Any corp that asks you for money to join is very likely scam of some sort. If anything, corps should pay to get good new members, and many do indeed offer incentives to join. You¦ll be paying taxes to the corp anyway.

In all probability your real life loser quotient wasn't high enough, and you were rejected. TBH, this is a bonus for you. Be happy you didn't get in and play to have fun instead of to break the game by deliberately using loopholes and pseudo-exploits.
You win. Goonidiots are the gaming world's universal bottom dwellers.

A fairly simple search online for goons yields this page.
'Goon how to join' wiki
which includes this line.
Goonfleet is NOT a publicly recruiting corporation. We are all members of the Something Awful forums, or well-known friends of someone who is a member. To join Goonfleet you MUST either be a member of the Something Awful forums and have been a member for at least 3 months (approximately, we set a new registration requirement with every newbie drive we hold.), or you must have a sponsor who is a Goonfleet member of good standing who is willing to vouch for you who meets the above requirement.
If you think paying someone to 'vouch' for you is a good way to go then good luck with that.
