I don't think that having a SA account is the only prereq to stop being a pubbie.

My god this thread has turned to complete shit. It is like watching guys in wheel chairs ganging up to laugh at the guys with neckbraces.

Cocheese Sammy claims to be a male.
and yes that is the point of it, I know
I use the word "pubbie" unironically to describe everyone I hate. It's better than saying "nigger" every 30 seconds.
Actually lowtax was forced to trademark the term during the whole 2001 "rape her and spit on her" eFront fiasco when Sam Jain attempted to refuse payment for 'pubbie-triggered ad clicks'. As is common practice for Goon guilds, Remedial attained an unlimited use license for the term as part of the acquisition of Yulai Financial, and it transferred to Solo along with possession of the goonfleet.com domain and the copyright on the Fatbee logo
And you thought Goons were full of lawyers just so we could write smug bigwords posts
That's a lot of info there. I didn't even remember posting in this thread, I was that drunk. When a quote of your shitty posting is the indicator that you've actually posted (terribly) somewhere, it makes me remember how fun alcohol is.
Out of curiosity, is there a particular term for SA.com members that play EVE but are not in GSF. It seems to be an unspoken assumption here that they all are in that particular corp, and that any other scenario is, well, out of the question. I crave more EVE![]()
dreamin (SA) / Mo'chuisle (Eve) / moonz (here) is a reasonably well-known Eve goon not GSF-aligned and supposedly there were a bunch of goons in his corp, The Executives
Groon is the traditional goon corp for those who were thrown out or banned from Goonfleet/waffe, but they imploded fairly recently and I'm not sure how many goons remain there. Reportedly there are a few goons still in Elitist Ops (TopGoon[555]/penif, youtuber, one or two others maybe) but it's a similar story to Groon.
The highsec griefing corp Suddenly Ninjas was at least originally a goon project, although again I think it has since been taken over by pubs. Rens 911 was a Goonfleet spinoff and there's usually a few small goon-run highsec/lowsec gank corps going.
I want to say HYDRA RELOADED was a goon project for a bit but I can't for the life of me remember where I got that.
There are assorted goons in non-GSF corps and once in a while there's forum drama when one gets scammed trying to get into GSF the wrong way.
I don't know of any SA mods that play Eve that aren't in Goonwaffe, which may be where your perception comes from.
fmercury was in hydra and is an goon
I remember having read somewhere (was it eve nout of Mr. Clom's "mouth"... well, hands/ fingers?) that if your oldest Eve-char is older than your SA.com account, you're a pubbie.
But don't listen at the haters, you're as much of a true goon as you're a true hardcore frontline marine.
The facts have a strong anti-A- bias.
Pubbie has been a colloquialism/slur for 'Public School Student' for decades. Words in common usage in the public domain aren't subject to copyright if i remember correctly, but who the hell is going to want to challenge 'pubbie'?
Goonswarm:Pubbieswarm anyway and SA largely sucks.
How dare you! SN is an honourable corp of salvagers busting thier ass to keep YOUR space lanes free of junk from careless missionrunners.The highsec griefing corp Suddenly Ninjas was at least originally a goon project, although again I think it has since been taken over by pubs. Rens 911 was a Goonfleet spinoff and there's usually a few small goon-run highsec/lowsec gank corps going.
On that aside, the people that took over shortly after the RL hiatus Tchell took and never really came back from don't seem to be in control of the corp now and i recognize only a handful of people in the corp, which is now leading an allianceBasically it looks like it got too fucking big
On the plus side, following changes to the probing system and mission drops I'm told the corp is now pretty much entirely focussed on baiting and ganking missionrunners and wardecing people that pump out Tears by the gallon.

"A word used by those of lesser intellect to describe other people in a game. Mostly used by people of a gay mormon website while they are stroking each others e-peen."
Someone on Urban Dictionary doesn't like goons much it seems.
My favorite subforums on SOMETHINGAWFUL.COM are GENERAL BULLSHIT, as well as DEBATE AND DISCUSSION, and of course the ever-awesome THE FIRING RANGE, and who could forget FUCK YOU AND DIE!!!! I have many posts and I consider myself to not be a forums noob!!!!
Actually Goons With Spoons helped me to make a bangin' meatloaf what was totally off the scale. Thanks, Goons with Spoons, you're fuckin' rad.
Public as in posh private school? If so, what Internet Spaceships said![]()
Yes, in the UK 'public' schools are Independent schools, that is to say that they don't receive state funding and levy school fees against parents.
Personally i think there is nothing wrong with them, that they provide overall a national benefit in the UK and that Labour killing Grammar schools was an astonishingly ass backwards counter-productive bit of class warfare.
Many other people feel differently though, generally people that didn't/don't go to one or parents with a bright kid stuck in a local craphole failing them. Perceptions that they are elitist and hatred of the people that go there is pretty common.
Monty Pythons 'Upper Class twit of the year awards' and any Jeeves and Wooster should provide ample ammunition; the latter being wonderful reads, although I'm not partial to the golfing.

Heh, I went to both public and a grammar school so best of both worlds and I love everybody.
I'm from the States and went to a public school. Now I go to a state university and have done nothing useful with my life (and probably won't until I'm 35).
Fuck state uni's
that's right, blame it on the schools.
Just wondering, what was your major in university?
