As someone who flew Jade when he was still "perma"-banned from the Eve-O forums (oh, happy days) only to later find my way into Goonfleet/waffe, I thought it would be nice to say a couple of true things.
First and most disappointing, La Maison (et etera) was not an e-brothel. It was just a sad little chat room where a bunch of lonely nerds pretended to be all-powerful gods of space. Sexes chats occurred frequently and with vigor. The rest of the time, everyone seemed to be engaged in a no-holds-barred contest to decide once and for all who was the most pretentious ass online.
I once picked up a character from a guy who quit Eve and spent the next six months telling undersexed hausfraus who met Wren in La Maison that, no, sorry, he sold his character and no, I was not aware that your characters were 'involved' and NO, I do not wish to continue the relationship. La Maison wasn't quite as overtly sexual as a brothel, but it sure was weird.
Second, Jade is seriously a crazy person, just not in the, "he put GHB in the orange juice at his local playground" way, though. He's crazy in the "not joking around when he starts talking about his character's in-game ideology". I've known a lot of people who engaged in roleplay in my life; from people sitting around a table roleplaying elves and dwarves (a vice I continue to indulge in to this day) to people pretending to be nonconsenually PVP'd by a burglar that is actually their significant other. I'm sure as hell not one to judge. Still, sane people who roleplay all know that they are not their characters. Their characters are a part of a story and what they do and what happens to them only matter in the context of the story. Jade is one of those poor guys who's spent too long playing the same character (and he passed that point of no return long before I met him) to know the difference between "me" and "my character".
I'm not saying that he thinks he's an immortal starship captain living tens of thousands of years in the future. He's just pathologically incapable of separating his in-and-out-of-game personas. His "in game" ideology? The whole "Freecaptain" thing? That's not just an in-character thing that he does to have fun. He believes that craptle. He doesn't just think people should play the game the way he does. He's obsessed with "regressive memes" and "imperialist enclosurism". He doesn't care if the people in his alliance are having fun and he sure as hell doesn't care if they're competent. Or at least that's how he was a while back. Maybe he has a whole new dogma now. If so, I'm confident that he is just as willing to hold to it no matter what, even if it's no damned fun and makes something like half of the people in his alliance leave (which happened twice in the time I knew him, both times because the way Jade insists everyone in The Star Fraction play Eve is just not fun.)
Anyway, that's the Jade Constantine I know/knew. He's basically just some sad English twit who edits copy who got in on the ground floor with Eve, got himself a taste of relevance and promptly went crackers. |

Unlike you, I am not pretending not to care. I care, bro. We used to have times. Where did you go so wrong? |

Try not to kill yourself over it. |

Hate to break it to you, but you're listed under "Categories: Drama | People" in our wiki under the title "Roleplaying Insects". As far as relevant enemies go, you're right up there with random empire wardec corps. Your guys might occasionally kill a Goon when you're not losing carriers on lowsec station undocks, but you'll be the only ones to give a crap.
Unlike my fellow Goons, I will admit that you were once relevant; however, unlike your circle-jerking arpee crowd, I know that you haven't been relevant in Eve in years. But hey, as long as you're having fun. |

Jade, I have a little trouble believing that you're dumb enough to believe the crap you post. Not much trouble, because I know you, but a little. Pretentious, pompous, petulant and puerile is no way to go through life, man. |

And there's that old selective memory we all know and love/loathe. |
