Well to continue with the obligatory "OWN Get out, no one likes you anymore" - in the massive Dek Coalition fleet that captured Evokes moons, not one OWN pilot was present.

read it wrong, nm
I read like 3 pages of this threads and I realized its nothing but "goons" failing horribly at being edgy like the real goons used to be. Lets admit goons are dead as a 0.0 power as well as a source of entertainment
There's no trollin like bad trollin.
Just like PL?
[Arrador] possesses a considerable understanding of ship configurations, strengths and weakness. He gives clear and purposeful instructions, is good at taking advantage of the fleet-composition he's dealt, and never loses sight of the main goal: fun. This, paired with an excellent tolerance for strong drink gives him an almost Churchillian capability to win, despite being completely pissed on booze most of the fleet operation.
Those PL faggots failed big time against Atlas and -A- and ROL. I bet they're super embarassed atm.
ok, i hereby admit it
back in tri fpshacker was a good poster
Endie is a wordsmith
Ahahaha Tri
"goons"
haha no he wasnt
I almost threw up. No emo, just good posting! But see it makes sense coming from someone who was in TRI because by comparison the dude is slightly above dog shit posting.
No one in tri or ncdot is a good poster, sorry bro.
Who's Fatal Ascension?
According to some Fatal Ascension dude that talked entirely too much on TS the other night, they were refugees of CVA's Providence collapse, like Fidelas Constans and a few other alliances floating around Pure Blind / Venal. And boy, they are super happy to be going on the offensive, because they were kicked around in Providence by big meanies (like Goons and AAA), then kicked around in Pure Blind by other big meanies (Tri Mk???), and by golly they are going to get theirs now!!!!!
This was the main theme transmitted on TS over the course of the night. It's just rather jarring to us to have conversations with people who are unironically excited about eve online when we are in the midst of jump bridge/cynojammer/cynogen shoot 179 of 300 or whatever we did the other night. His conversation kept interrupting my WOTs.
I'm okay with people being excited to play Eve Online.
My only excitement comes from flying ~MY TENGU~ , other than that eve is just something to do whilst playing tanks or calling dbrb fat on ts.
goonswarm is really good at making a shit game even more boring
you tell me bro
World of Tanks with EVE's industry (simplified a little) and territorial warfare GA style would be sweet.
Not Dead, Just Sleeping
Yes I can see it now...
"Ok guys I just clicked like a million times to make us some tanks so we can defend our zones when it is our prime timezone"
Maybe is CCP were more like Bethesda and hired Patrick Stewart to do all the voices for the tutorial missions and then get assasinated... or maybe just replace the silly bint with his voice. Hell I would turn eve sound back on if it had Captain Picard saying "Engage" everytime you go to warp.
On second through that would get old really quickly and I would turn sound off again so I can listen to endless fart jokes on TS between watching random youtube videos between manually cycling guns.
Yes, but think of the benefits- you could grief arty players out of the game by targeting the factorys making them.
Not Dead, Just Sleeping
Which TRI?
This:
Plus this:
Make up 90% of why I just can't handle fleet ops anymore.
It's like I don't feel like enough of a dork for sitting on my couch playing internet spaceships, I also have to invite several dozen retards into my living room to have a party and shit all over the furniture.
Subcap fleet comms are the #1 incentive for Goons to become capital pilots.
Tri did/does have the worst most bitter posters in the history of eve. I was only in Tri Mk3 and it irreversibly screwed my posting. You cant be around Tri and not have their terrible posting and horrible use of grammar (ex: super twinkey69) rub off on you.
Also seeing as we are asking about random NC scrub pets, TMA WAYFARER STELLER ALLIANCE or w.e those scrubs who live in fade are called. I have never seen them until recently
Thats because they are running missions and research POS networks in Empire.
(Yes really)
Not Dead, Just Sleeping
I don't actually know who lives in Pure Blind seriouspost.
ed: well until we get the inevitable TWR thread saying we are temporarily allowed to shoot (alliance X) for some diplomatic transgression.
The Mittani has graced us with another update:

CEO UPDATE: MEMBERCORP BINGE AND PURGE
As Goonswarm has succeeded over the last few months, we have grown massively in size. Everyone likes a winner, and both GSF and TEST are expanding faster than LadyScarlet at a Vegas buffet. This presents a special difficulty for me. Past treatment of membercorps has vacillated between being overly generous at one moment and explicitly genocidal the next. While some methods of passing judgment are seen as more fair than others, ultimately, no matter what methods or metrics are used, the alliance leader must personally make harsh judgment calls about the value, utility and/or irredeemable faggotry of membercorps.
On the occasion of several of our friends from TCF joining our alliance, I can no longer delay this critical process. We have secured enough liquid capital that it is time for the alliance to disburse its first 'tech bounty' to deserving membercorps. At the same time, we must also make it known what corps we are displeased with, such that they have an opportunity to fix their shit before I purge them.
Goonswarm is a communist autocracy. It is important for everyone to be aware that while we are being very generous in redistributing alliance income (which could go to supercapitals, more reimbursements, etc) to membercorp CEOs, this bonus is neither a right nor an entitlement. Membercorp payouts are a reward for good participation, not something to expect or demand at the end of each month.
Without further ado, the ratings. These do not include the new TCF additions for obvious reasons. The corps I am delighted or pleased with get prezzies in the form of the 'tech bounty' which they can spend, embezzle, or roll around in as they wish. For this round, the Finance team tells me we can shower 15b upon those we love.
Corps I am Delighted With:
Amok: Consistently brings stupidly high numbers to strategic ops, has provided some of our best FCs and our Sky Marshal.
EJB: Despite Kazanir being a Mormon, his corp has succeeded rapidly, probably because they're a bunch of goddamned spreadsheet nerds and WoW goons.
Bat Country: In theory, Predator IRL runs this corp, but in practice it's Endie's baby. I wouldn't dream of making Endie unhappy, so they're in the top tier. (Ok, they have high participation and kicked out Himo, what's not to love?)
OEG: Papa Fucking Digger.
Corps I am Pleased With:
Merchi: On the uptick in terms of participation and with an extremely cunning rep in the (large) form of Sal Freddo.
Sundering: Sundering used to be in the doghouse, but Cpt Underpants has pulled these ex-ZAF aussies out of the fire.
MAS-B: This ex-FSP-B would probably be in the 'Delighted' category but for a bunch of internecine drama during the first days of its founding.
Corps I am Neutral Towards:
Newer and/or Smaller Russian Corps: I don't speak Russian, so it's very hard for me to determine whether I should be pleased or displeased with FSP-B after the MAS-B split, FST, RosAviaCosmos, or the 'nearly personal' corps like Foxden's Specnaz or Berzerk Squad. Until recently we had no way to judge how well a Russian corp was doing, but the creation of the auto-translate crosspost system and 'fc translators' means that we've seen a massive Russian turnout on eurotime ops. We've only had the crosspost system functioning for about two weeks, and that's not enough data for me to be making any judgment calls on.
DS1: OldPueblo is a doll. He's in Illum, I get along smashingly with him. But we've had a couple of incidents from DS1 folks this month that leave me markedly displeased, both involving petty squabbles over ratting. In one, former leader CEO Pyrex blew up a Sigma's drake for ratting in 'his space', and then hurfed a lot a blurfs about how he'd cancel supercapital builds or not pay his taxes if we disapproved. This is unacceptable. Note to all membercorps: You do not 'have space'. You may have a station, but that does not translate into 'ownership' or the right to shoot anyone in the surrounding zone. Similarly, the other incident involved a DS1 guy trying to 'RoR' newbies out of space which was entirely legal to rat in. Incidents like these do not reflect well upon one of our oldest membercorps.
Corps I am Actively Concerned With:
KMW, NED-Clan: Consistently low participation on eurotime strategic ops. Fix it.
What I've been up to:
New Cap Fittings: We have had a massive overhaul to our cap fittings, which were on the bleeding edge of design around when grunge was hip and trendy. This provoked a massive all-director, all-fc meeting in which I tried valiantly to keep Bring and Lucas from squabbling like the sexually frustrated teenaged boys that they actually are. After tremendous sturm und drang, we are now regularly entering siege five minutes before towers come out and half-cycling them; from the very self-satisfied 'heh's of the dread jocks, I've dubbed this 'smugcycling'. The whole business had made recent cap ops quick and stress-free.
Daytime TV, CEO Edition: Up until last week, I had been a lucky CEO; I hadn't had to resolve intra-directorate slapfights. Four days ago there was an outbreak of catastrophic mass-PMS and I wasted an entire day handholding directors and trying to pry their cheeto-stained fingers away from each other's disturbingly pasty white necks. Things should be running smoothly again, as I found that in order to restore order all I had to do was threaten to director Bring. I might still unironically promote the poor kid, since he's been doing such a damn good job as cap fc. Beware!
SOTG: We haven't had one in a while. The idea is not to speechify at length (as I get flashed whenever I try to do that) but to have a big gay Q&A session so people can pepper me with questions about Stella Polaris and OWN. Ugh.
Overview packs: There's now a thread including modern standardized overviews, unlike the out-of-date Fryrr pack. You all should use this 'Aryth pack', because nothing says military impotence like a FC ordering 'shoot the fighter bombers' and half the fleet not being able to load them due to using pre-Dominion overviews.
Drake Nerfs: As Endie mentioned in his update, it looks like the Drake (and thus Shieldfleet) are on the chopping block. This is why we have been training for both Shield and Armorfleets; make sure you can fly something bigger than a Tacklemaller (assuming you are not a newbie) in our Armor gangs. Guardians, Zealots, Vagabonds, Fleet Stabbers - all of those will allow us to win in the hypothetical post-Drake environment.
OWN Back in the Spotlight: During the height of the OWN drama, Teredrum asked us nicely if his alliance could have a 'week off' to allow tensions to cool down. Of course, in public, his statements remained belligerent to a point of fault. We granted the week's cooling-off period, and that is over now.
And that's it. In other news, I've written another column, this time about the rather worrying collapse of the Atlas/AAA bloc and what that means strategically for us - depending on how the NC attack on the Drone Russians goes, it may mean MAX v3, another invasion by IT.
Never Forgive, Never Forget
Even back in Minor Threat, which was the pinnacle of uselessness, NED-Clan stood out as useless.
You have piqued this nerd's attention. Do explain.
The autotranslating crosspost is something Solo finagled involving an automatically google-translated copy of an alliance announcement w/e getting automatically a posted on our Russian forum automatically.
The fc translator system is basically a roster we have of bilingual goons with timezones they are active in that the FC can grab and have act as translator on scheduled fleet ops. They are paid roughly 250m isk a month as long as they participate regularly in the system. I don't recall how many ops per week they are required to attend.
I'm curious - when The Mittani is calling out NED-Clan and Kriegsmarinewerft for low participation, is he taking into account the fact that both are pretty damned small? Sometimes that sort of thing can get missed. On occasion. I also don't know how stupidly low their participation is - if they're each only bringing about five people to strategic ops, that would proportionally be decent though not great participation, given that nothing is particularly at stake.
Are you sure it was mittens?
I'm pretty sure it's judged participation per member e.g. 0.45 kills/loses per member per month
One thing that must also be remembered, is that Amok. is a pure pvp corp. we have alts that do side things, but i would say 99% of our mains are pvp characters, and we do just that. Our numbers have only recently swelled to 99, and this includes several inactives, and a large smattering of alts.
Performance bonusesWe have secured enough liquid capital that it is time for the alliance to disburse its first 'tech bounty' to deserving membercorps.
awaiting tyrone post
So now that the cooldown period with OWN is over, what happens next between you guys?
Also, I always kinda wondered what's up with all the tiny (<15 people in some cases) corps in GSF, are they actual corps with people you let in, or alt corps, or some kind of holding corp thing, or just kinda there?
Most are alt corps to let people do pos stuff, giving pos roles to anyone in waffe who wants them seems like a bad idea.
Alt corps mainly, there's a lot of them. Some people want to do moon mining, others cap production, etc. The serious business pos roles in goonwaffe stay safe(ahahahahaha not really) and people get to do what they want, they are also used as sanctuarys for bots vOv
It also allows me to avoid war decs by just dropping my jf alt out of corp and getting it back in within an hour
That and watching a levi try to mate with an avatar.
And blasting the subcaps with ecm burst after ecm burst. I think next time they will bubble us.
FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
I was planning on having cloaky dics just bubble and cloak while we left, but "fuck caps" was appropriate enough.
Next time bubble the caps as A) fuck the cap fc's B) there are a load of sperglords in capswarm who will flip out and it will be hilarious.
