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.
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

We've been aware of this for well over a year. Or was that two years ? People that actually fall for this rarely read the forums anyway. Hell, people that fall for it FAIL TO READ THE GOON'S SITE PROPERLY IN THE FIRST PLACE.

Polite answer: Yes yes unless your a completely new character who hasn't had an internet connection for the last 11 years you should know the goons are untrustworthy.
Look on the bright side though, every goon without exception is scammed out of real money (SomethingAwful.com membership fee) to join goonswarm.
Not polite answer: No shit sherlock, duhhhh, did your mommy let you sign on the internetz recently?

I *might* consider joining them if they pay ME a monthly ISK fee. Half a bil ISK will do fine. With a 3 month deposit.

Plenty of corps out there will take you as long as you can follow orders. Lots of good corps don't care what assets you bring other than being able to fly a ship with a warp scrambler on it.
Always research the corp/alliance you want to join, see what area they operate out of, what services they can provide you in return for your employment, who they might be at war with.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I was reading goons wikisite recently and they clearly state in big red bold letters how to join, nothing is mentioned about sending them your isk.
you have to understand if you pay goonswarm 100s of millions of isk to join, you deserve to be scammed aye?

In other news....
According to the EPA Bears are taking dumps in the forest. Be careful where you step if you like the rugged outdoors....
Also in the news, it seems that reliable sources are claiming that Pope Benedict is a practicing catholic....

Originally by: Argathos II Being that I am new to the game, I realize now that it was a huge mistake. I wanted to join a large corporation, where I could enjoy pvp. Seeing that they have taken everything I have, I dont see how any other large corporation would even be interrested in letting me join.
Oh, I wouldn't worry about that too much.
Corps shouldn't want you for your assets: They want you because you will be a valued contributor to the Cause. Right now, I'm sure you're highly motivated to kill Goons, for example. Someone with that goal would like you.
If ANY Corp/Alliance asks you for isk to join, you don't want to be part of them. Isk is very easy to make, expecially for an Alliance.
BTW: 300 mill is not a huge sum of money. It costs me that much to insure my Carrier, and the insurance always seems to run out before I die. Count yourself lucky that you've learned such an important lesson for so little cost.

Edited by: BritishInvader on 16/07/2008 19:41:04 Actually, Goonswarm not recruiting anyone who isn't an SA member is a bit of a lie. Goonswarm have 3 recruitment methods.
A: Be an SA member who fits the requirements. B: Join through one of the processing corps. C: Be sponsored in.
The processing corps pretty much get no recognition because they're not meant to be spammed everywhere. They're not spammed everywhere because the people running them are usually lazy buggers who don't want to have to babysit and spycheck a bunch of players constantly (Like me). The basic premise behind them is that if you chill with someone for a decent amount of time in a processing corp, you'll realise if he's a dumbass pubbie or if he's actually good Goon material. Getting sponsored in is pretty much a no hoper unless you're a friend of a goon in real life.
A couple of members hold processing corps that GF trusts. A character on this account runs one but nobody seems to bother applying to it though, I'm not really bothered, it means less people for me to keep an eye on. Needless to say though, a couple of people have gotten into Goonfleet through my processing corp that i'm aware of, and it worked out fine for them so vOv.
If anyone in GS has the title "Recruiter" you can actually trust them since the CEOs don't just hand that title out. They encourage scamming but when it comes down to it the alliance has to get members from somewhere so we have to have REAL recruiters who are hurf blurf and serious somewhere. -----+----- Mail : BritishInvader for signature orders.

Apart from the "lol goons" thing, who on earth would want to pay... to get into a corp. If I join a corp they should be glad to have the extra manpower, help and effort.
Paying to get into a corp... cattle/pet mentality.

Given that experience so far, I would sooner help or come to the aid of a Goonfleet member than a BoB member any-day.

Your dog is dragging dead stuff through the house again. I am not a member of Goonfleet, or any allied corp of goonfleet. I don't even have any friends in Goonfleet or allied corps/alliances. I am just speaking of the PERSONAL interactions I have had with both Goonfleet members and BoB members and too date, Goons have been politer, enjoyed a good and reasonable conversation and have always given honest and decent advice if I have asked them something. On the other hand, Members of Bob have been some of the rudest gits I have met in local.

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.
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

But I kinda understand them, since someone is going to carry their financial lossess of being kamikazee bees.

rofl. I am calm, and a Raccoon will drag in even more dead stuff and, and hide it better. I suggest a small child instead. Their trainable and make great cheap labor (why a few bucks a week and they work like little Bees...... er um now where did that song come from hrmmmm)....
Barring that; do like I do. Every few years I open my doors to the local river when it floods and let it wash away all my worldly worries.... The mud smells bad sometimes but it is very effective at cleaning out the dead things.

Originally by: Ugly scout 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.

The advice I would give to any new player looking to join a big alliance is: Do some talking to people in-game first who are not allied or in the alliance you're interested in, also they should be more experienced players and ask some direct questions about the alliance.
EVERYONE with more than a month of gameplay knows the goons and EVERYONE with more than a month of gameplay knows they are a bunch of scamming miscreants with only a single brain cell that they have to share between them.
I would guess that you either sold a GTC for that isk or you have been playing the game with your eyes closed. Either way, it's kinda taught you a harsh lesson about trust in Eve. TRUST ONLY YOURSELF and make sure you even keep an eye on yourself as well. If someone doesn't do a lot to earn your trust, they are not worth trusting and even if they do, be skeptical cos it's probably a scam.

It's already been said.. but NEVER pay to join a corp.
If payment is required without reasonable explanation why( eg; carrier jumps of your ships/stuff etc to new systems) then its not worth joining. Earning a place in a corp based on trust and merit is ultimately more rewarding than purchasing one.

Goonfleet has guidelines for joining, which have been stated in the thread already. Even if it was open recruitment, we don't like stupid people that cannot follow simply instructions. If you don't bother to read what is plainly said upfront, we liberate you from your assets to protect yourself from further harm (aka: a fool and his money...). The sponsor thing may seem a bit cloudy; join our help channel which is publicly accessible and you see in bright red at the top that if you are paying money, you are being scammed.
Simply put, yes, idiots get preyed upon because it truly is the easiest way to make loads of money.
Something Awful forums is just a meeting spot - it is what ties the goons together on common grounds. We are a subset of that population, not the other way around. SA charges a one time $10 fee, and while the quality of some aspects have gone down considerably, the amusement and lack of general stupidity for a lifetime membership is well worth it - as compared to, say, losing all you have earned as a little noob just off his trial in Eve and wanting to go slash open your arms.
