To be fair to Goblin, it's plausible that he legitimately isn't able to distinguish between anger and derision.

It's pretty easy to get an account into a CFC alliance, so why doesn't Goblin just do this himself?

It's extremely easy to get an account into RvB. He didn't do that either. That wound require effort and may lead to information that would invalidate his claims.

Imaginary problems at that. I think Gevlon's tirades and bitter feud with the CFC speak volumes about him rather than his 'enemies'. He is chasing a boogeyman of his own making. When you stare into the abyss for too long, it stares back into you.

By the way Gevlon, let me give you a very stern warning:

I will not have you keep implying that Goons are racists through continuously making blood related references. This is not only a heinous lie, but also textbook example of defamation and insulting a group of EVE players in a EULA breaking way.

You will either stop saying and implying that me or the entity I'm a part of in EVE are racists and/or are involved in racist practices or face the consequences.

Oh, did I hurt your pure heart? Here is my sincere apology.

That's a lot of words for simple "I'm butthurt about not getting into goons". Seriously, are you so poor in RL that you couldn't spend $10 on SA account? You rather go full ****** with this "war"?

Race, gender, religion, sexual preference etc are called "immutable characteristics"

Having an account on a forum on the internet isn't an "immutable characteristic"

Therefore treating people differently because they don't come from our ****** internet forum isn't comparable to racism

I know it's a difficult concept to understand, fortunately I've graphed it for you: http://i.imgur.com/r40qhtS.png (I know it looks like it lacks data but every point is at 0)

It's hard to tell if you are trolling or you are just dumb. Either way, you are mixing "GRR project" and "Lemmings". Let me put it into as simple terms as possible:

GRR project is the fight against the evil and socialist group that acts as a cancer on EVE (hint: that's you). GRR project is a full success, eliminating the Goon POCOs, killing 1.1T Goons and minions and providing more tears than Minerbumping does (hint: look at the page count on this topic)


At least we are certain that you are not trolling here, dear Gevlon.
Goon POCOs aren't eliminated, they are still held by Goons by your admittance.
Goon highsec kills do not harm either the individual players, as the damage dealt is simply laughably low per CFC member and change nothing for the CFC as highsec losses aren't really parts of strategic ops.

There are no tears here, I did not see anyone complaining from a specific loss, or coming up with how this joke of a project is unfair, etc. What this thread is however, is a comedy goldmine, and you are the content provider extraordinaire under that definition.

You see poor chap, the facts above are the irrefutable reasons that why we are all sure that you are not trolling. The other possibility is the case.

There's that word again, "tears". I thought it meant the angst filled posts of someone who feels wronged. Apparently I am in the minority. Around here it seems to mean "other people say stuff" covering everything from tangental conversations to pity, scorn and mocking.

That said, Gevlon Goblin, please continue. You are a great source of EVE offline comedy. I especially like the bits where you try to use numbers and graphs.

This needs repeating.

I've said it to him before (and it's why I bring up the Don Quixote analogy) - he's fighting an "evil" of his own making. He needs to fight us because we are "evil" and we're "evil" because he says so. Any suggestion to the contrary by third parties is just "goon alts and spies, propaganda" even when it ends up being demonstrably true.
We told him over and over that without leadership, Lemmings would use him for his money till it dried up. That's exactly what happened. But nooooo.. us pointing out flaws in his plan were "tears" and "anger" and "attempts to stop me" and blah blah.
Same goes with basically all his ideas. He will drop them, and then start stating the next idea is infallible, describe it in absolutes, and claim any opposition is because "mad". Then he will loop around and do it again.

With everything he has done, the exact reasons it will fail have been calmly explained to him, and without fail he just blocks / deletes the comments as "tears" or "lies" or attempts to stop him.
Even now he claims 20+ pages of laughing at this idea (and, of course, no one claiming the bounty) are just "goons crying and trying to stop me".

It would be literally impossible for him to develop a posting history on SA, because everything he says is terrible. He couldn't even post on TEST's forums without people tearing their hair out.

In a nuttshell, though, Gevlon's main problem is basic tactics 101 - he's trying to use money to solve an issue where his opponent can outspend him 1000 times over without considering it significant.
It would be like Malta declaring war on the USA and invading with a conventional army; the result is a fore-gone conclusion.

I get that the only thing he can do is make money (at a surprisingly poor rate, though) so he's using what he's got, but those who refuse to adapt usually lose out.

Is this some sort of callout?

A surprisingly poor rate, huh...




TRI has lost two titans recently, how can it be that no CFC titan has gottan caught ratting in lowsec yet or something...

this racism thing is boring because it implies anyone, anywhere, cares what gevlon thinks for any reason other than laughing at it

i do like the reminder that gevlon was such a terrible poster that even TEST wouldn't let him in without being massively bribed and even then still mocked him relentlessly

List of things Goalposts Gevlon doesn't understand:

- definition of 'tears'
- irony
- opportunity cost
- racism/discrimination
- warfare
- inner workings of the CFC
- scientific studies about women and socialization
- the fate of GSF high sec pocos
- definition of a mercenary contract scam
- how to quantify the success of burn jita

Just a fact he likes to brush away. 12bil per week from his dozen accounts is kinda ******, even from passive activities, and we know he's very, very grindy.

That's just because we don't use them anymore as we're too scared of his bounty! He has claimed as such ITT. His evidence for this is "because I said so"* - like, he's not even trying to make a graph about it anymore.

* - in reality I think someone is trying to troll him into making the claim by saying we don't. People get good bites doing this. See: selling him KB data

Holy ****, I understand now.

The madness has stared back at me. All the "bombless bomber" crap... the talk about titans... (thats TWICE in one thread!)

He thinks that ships in EVE are directly scaled regarding their cost!! Therefore, a Merlin would get whelped by a Manticore, because the Manticore COSTS more! I wonder if he knows that an assault frigate can tear up a battleship by itself....

He wants a TITAN! Its the last ship on the "skill tree", eh?? Therefore nothing else in the game can kill it!! HAH!

Goblin, you do know a titan is used for specific things, correct? Your acquisition and fielding of one will only decorate the belt where the goons kill it (oh man, and for panache, I hope they use bombers) - with one of those new titan wreck models.
