Linked in the bio of our favorite drunken X-CSM Chairman in a wizard's hat is this:

I get why they might put the EVE University there for PR reasons and player retention, but can asomeone clarify the reasoning for linking Goonwaffe and the bio of a currently banned and burned-at-the-stake-CSM Chariman? Although this may seem like a troll post, I am actually sincerely asking. Below them is a group called "Rekall", which I have never heard of. Are they significant to the game some how? That link seems to bring me to a character named CIALIS which to me looks like a derivative of the medication "Cailais" used to correct erectile dysfunction.

In his bio are a series of links...
One of them takes me through several redirects only to lead to some site in Chinese text (scans computer for viruses)

Can someone please explain?


You lost me at "I get why...." I see no "EVE University" there....I'm not going to look at Mittani's bio unless I absolutely have to. Since anything the Goons say asserting being of assistance to anyone but themselves is a lie, I would agree if there were any CCP-sanctioned mention of the Goons in any adverts, or informational documentation, it would trash CCP's rather thin hold on integrity and trusthworthiness. Reading between the lines of what you've said, I detect an inference of such.

SO...could you please (OP) restate your "facts" in a more discernable fashion so I can make some sense from them?

You're right, it's just my google. Nvm.


Thought it looked like a "feature" because of how the forums deal with characters in game. But it is odd that the same couple keep coming up. Oh wells.

Google tailors those links to your browsing habits. So I can see where you may have been led to believe there was something more involved.

OK..it took me some time, but I think I figured out what OP is talking about. It is about the quicklinks that Google shows directly beneath the "Eve Gate" header. It looks like this :

EVE online / EVE Gate

Eve online / EVE Gate_______ EVE University
About EVE Gate____________GoonWaffe
Rekall Incorporated_________ Aperture Harmonics

Basically, our OP is asking why Google is offering those links and is sensing some kind of conspiracy here.




Interesting, I did a EVE Gate Search and no Goonwaffe or Goon related related materials show up at all on the first page.
Considering Google uses your past searches and normal patterns to determine what you would like ......

It just means you either normally go to Goonswarm pages / forums and or have searched for Goonswarm.

In my case sense I have never gone to any Goonie pages or bothered to search for them I get nothing.

Use Duckduckgo instead.
