But... about that tower? I was going to try and post something intelligible about it when it happened but I'm still smug as hell about ninja dropping the fuck out of it. Those things just seem to come out of nowhere...

Will post a proper BR later this evening, stupid workThings banned from this thread:
* Cold War references
* THE ISK WAR
* Unironic use of "strategic objectives" or "come at me bro"

We (18) could have just avoid your 60 man gang, but we thought, let's have a fight, coz you know it's fun.
I enjoyed it tbh.
Those rules would see Jogyn unable to post in this thread. Since he has posted, they clearly no longer hold.MAAATE thems rules in these parts

If I forget thee, O Goonfleet dot com, let my right hand forget her typing.
Meh, forgetting something 67 pages ago, though I'm kind of disappointed I didn't get all three (or did I...?). But hey, if someone asks "whats the fuss about" I rather say "oh look we did something and here is why" with a little bit of a set up. I mean how much sense would "we're happy because OH WAIT THAT IS IRRELEVANT" make?
Maybe I'm just unwilling to answer a direct question with an indirect answer, and while this may shock and horrify anyone who has ever read one of my serious business mails, I don't like to leave important facts out lest people come ask me a thousand questions later over a gaping hole. Plus there are already a ton of straw men in this thread, I doubt it needs more irrelevant conclusions as well... or are logical fallacies banned as well?
Absolutely, it was some fun dog fighting.We (18) could have just avoid your 60 man gang, but we thought, let's have a fight, coz you know it's fun

I missed a Jogyn post?
Yeah it really sucks when people re-use someone elses gimmick bob from marketing.
Ah.
So if i read this right, you won the isk war?It goes beyond just putting down the tower, the fact that we did complete the strategic objective while getting a good fight out of it was huge victory on many different levels within FA and externally.

[05:28:32] Damienwhat Solette > friend said, if only they didn't have those 2 falcons there, i said they have 3, and he said that just says they don't want to do anything fair, just want to be dicks about it like not normal dicks but big black huge cocks
Goonpet noobs crowing about isk efficiency and happy about getting 1 tech moon. Cute. ISRAD has many tech moons as your entire alliance and we're 25 guys, half of whom are inactive and the other half retarded. Pwned.

This is like some crusty old billionaire boasting about the fact that he has more money that a ten-year old girl running a lemonade stand.
Idk who "bob from marketing" is, but I don't think it's fair that he can supposedly claim exquisitely good posting and a steadfast dedication to truth as his own exclusive "gimmick".
Actually... and this'll address penif as well, that wasn't what I was getting at.
What I was getting at was there were some things we accomplished that had nothing to do with numbers, KISK or even the battle itself, that was incredibly important, especially for how far our little lemonade stand has come. I'm perfectly aware that we don't have as much tech, dudes, resources, widgets, and/or e-peen as some of the other dudes... but I really don't give a shit, and neither do the majority of our pilots that do the same shit night after night knowing what is going to happen. As I've said before, everyone starts somewhere, and each one of those steps is an accomplishment as long as it isn't one towards stagnation.
So if FA is the little 10 year old girl running a lemonade stand, does that make Goons the creepy old pedophile hiding behind the tree watching over us?
Jesus 100 rep for a firefly reference that is impressive but it's no "Where's the Money Vuk-Lauski?"
Since we let you into Zulu could you give us a few?
No, Goons are the overfriendly uncle always asking you to sit in his lap, PL are the ones watching from behind
and TEST... TEST just stood there.
Well to keep the analogy going, TEST would be the overfriendly uncles strange son, the cousin neither you or your parents are sure about, sometimes amusing, sometimes scary, always confusing
"We were in the hot tub home alone..." "... and we never spoke about it again."
Which are you?

Depends what you think of indians
Speaking of ISRAD, penif a while back you had the best fmerc picture I have ever seen as your pl.com avatar. Do you remember where you got that and can you please link?
Scalping Indians or outsourced telemarketer Indians?
This image needs no explanation.
I think you're confusing me with someone else, the only avatars I've had were Dr. Wiley and
then who had the huge freddie mercury avatar your story does not add up.I think you're confusing me with someone else, the only avatars I've had were Dr. Wiley and
edit it might have been giacomo carissimi has he always had the same avatar?
Well, I was afraid of FA coming here and shitting it up. However, it seems we have some quality posters. Its good to see new faces around here, even if it took some encouraging.
Please do, it's always cool hearing an unbiased POV.Will post a proper BR later this evening, stupid work
30 days dude. Yesterday was day one. I'll get as many as I can. Are there rules like, limiting your fleet size or anything?
Sorry to burst your bubble, but there is no such thing as an unbiased POV.
[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.
I think that Zagdul was ironically referring to the fact that Elise Randolph's BRs are usually terribly biased
PL BR's are usually along the lines of
"And a brave hero Legionnaire hictor lit his cyno, bridging in the ragtag, undergunned, outnumbered, fearless fleet of 17 into the raving hordes numbering over 400. The battle was hard fought, but in the end we came away with only 254 kills for the loss of one dictor and like seriously half of one guys drones"
vs. cfc aligned BR's come in a few flavors
"Winter is coming"
"Welp that was an awesome fleet, maybe next time we can lose even more shit and piss off the reimbursement people even more
Every rifter counts friend
Never, Elise is a straight shooter.
CFC BR: "numbers were about even based on our killboard lol"
[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
For the record, the order before forming for this was: No Guardians, no T3, no reimbursements, insure everything. We expected a good old-fashioned brawl.Then, at last, activity. A PL cyno goes up and they jump in an Abbadon fleet. They probably expect us to run since welpfleet is meant for supers. We don't.
It's what happens when Loquitur posts stuff.
Just one reason why we don't let him have a Kugu account.
Perfect avatar/post synergy. Would rep twice if I could.
Who is this guy?Actually... and this'll address penif as well, that wasn't what I was getting at.

I've noticed that there's a pretty big disconnect between the general consensus of kugu and what's actually happening. It seems enough people have said it in this thread that people are taking it as fact.
BREAKING NEWS! FA 'hero' downgraded to 'some guy' statusSome guy who anchored a tower and is pretty
Well, at least we have some content in here now
IRC jump bridge map, wheres the updated one. Hook it up.

Nobody said we weren't.
I just haven't been able to shoot most of IRC since they were in HTA, and you know, they're FINALLY NOT FUCKING BLUE, so i'm on it.
gonna go sabreing with jeffm8r eh?
sounds like fun

We're very fickle with our declarations of heroism. Makaan's refusal to buy us all a round of Mudder's Milk has made us wax wroth.
