I'm pretty good with words when I want to be. But I'm terrible at scamming.

It was a nasty, but still nicer game back then.

Well it was a brutal red in tooth and claw PVP game with lots of ingame intrigues and betrayals and backstabbing right enough - but it was a purer environment in many ways, with people not so inclined to take their greviences into the realm of ooc harrassment and rl bullying.
I think it is part of the goon agenda to "unwrite" the early history of the game and make believe eve didn't really start until they arrived - a common tactic for an extremist imperialist entity seeking dominance over a cultural medium.

Those sure were innocent times. Before the dirty Goons came and ruined your game with their intrigues and betrayals and backstabbing.
Jesus Christ, you sure do love using a whole lotta words, don't you? All I've said was that Goons came in and changed the game. You just seem mad because you "claimed" this game first.
Edit: Face it. Eve has more subscribers, more incredible stories, and more general interest because of what Goonswarm has brought to the game. I would sure be interested to see a poll about which stories it was that brought each player to the game.
Edit edit: And I'm not saying that all these people are pro-Goon, either. Plenty of people joined up because they heard about what the Goons were doing and wanted to fight them. All those people likely wouldn't be here if it weren't for them. |

Ah, I read a bit more into La Maison. I think the reason that Goonswarm hates you so much is because of your connection to BoB. And you're still upset about that guy that died. You know, Goons had a guy who killed himself. He was well loved in the community, too. They still make fun of him.
Face it, the only way Goons would go away is if CCP killed the sandbox. So you would have to kill off the game you enjoy to get them to leave. |

That is a dishonest summary. Its not people wanting to play a video game wanting to have fun that's the issue. The problem is people prepared to use RL harrassment, e-stalking and bullying to attempt to "win" said game. Goons play by different rules to traditional eve players; believing that attacks against the out of game identity of players is a proper means of playing the game. Hence "extremist". The imperialism comes from wanting to make their culture the dominant one (listen to Mittani's own rhetoric) - I'm really not saying anything here the goonswarm doesn't already rejoice in.
Lapine Davion wrote:Ah, I read a bit more into La Maison. I think the reason that Goonswarm hates you so much is because of your connection to BoB.
I didn't really have that much of a connection to BoB truth be told. I knew players there, had good corp standings with Reikoku for early game reasons. And I helped encourage proto BoB (the corps and alliances that would later form it) to get involved with the Great Northern War to help me get revenge on Pheonix Alliance in Venal of course. What goonswarm hates me for in this respect is that I publicly spoke up against the method of their final victory (the alliance name theft and squatting as a means of combat). I did (and still do) consider it poor gameplay that a player group's identity can be so easily removed from the game without the neccessity to actually complete a war in space.
By concluding the conflict with BoB by simply disbanding their alliance I think the goons robbed themselves (and Eve as a whole) from a proper conclusion to the story and made a mockery of Eve the space opera in favour of eve the metagaming drama pit.
Now of course, I've also stood up against those mocking people in their RL grief, or for those who have been bullied out of the game, or indeed for those who have had their RL professions dragged to these forums as metagame ammunition in the form of RL personal attacks.
Does anyone really need to know that SirMolle repairs central heating systems (or whatever) for a living? Why should that be relevant to anyone playing a spaceship game? Why did we get the white collar vs blue collar supremacy nonsense in goons vs bob flamefests on coad? Does the fact that 5000 goons follow a legal clerk really make them individually superior to a couple of thousand players following a self-employed mechanic? What the hell really. Its surreal and sad.
Lapine Davion wrote: And you're still upset about that guy that died.
I flew with the guy about once in the GNW, he seemed a decent guy on comms. But whether I knew him well or not the fact remains that the mocking of a dead player is not appropriate behaviour for players of this game in my eyes. It would be more accurate to say I'm deeply disapproving of goons over this.
Lapine Davion wrote:You know, Goons had a guy who killed himself. He was well loved in the community, too. They still make fun of him.
Who is "they"? Not me or anyone in my alliance or anyone I consider in a good light in this game I assure you.
Lapine Davion wrote: Face it, the only way Goons would go away is if CCP killed the sandbox. So you would have to kill off the game you enjoy to get them to leave.
Well either that or if CCP introduced sterner rules against OOC harrassment, e-stalking, and general out of game bullying. If a couple of senior goons got caught up in that then its fairly likely the rest of the swarm would rage-quit in sympathy. Imagine if Mittani had been permanently banned fo the fanfest incident.
But again you need to understand.
I have zero issue with in-game actions the goons take in Eve Online. Ganking, scamming, 0.0 nonsense. Blobbing and napping anyone in sight. Whatever really. As long is it happens within the game rules its all fair.
What I dislike is those goons who take eve beyond the spaceship game into the realm of personal out of game harrassment and rl stalking of identities, workplaces, with the goal of driving people out of eve so they can "win" the metagame.
This is the stuff that needs to end. And this is the stuff CCP will need to intervene to prevent before somebody ends up dead over it.

By "they" I meant Goons. And by the guy who killed himself, I meant RoyofCA. Who as I understand it was well liked. What I mean by all this is that Goons will make fun of whatever they want, especially if it will get a rise. |

So you are defending the conduct of goons in mocking the RL death of an Eve player in an enemy alliance by pointing out that they also mock the RL suicide's of their friends?
Colour me unimpressed.
