EVE General Discussion

It's actually a misnomer. Weedotting(verb) an Alliance means turning them into badposters.

Mate, do a little bit of research before trying to be all smug. I make almost all of my isk (and that's a lot - if I liquidated it and bought plex for subs I'd die of natural causes before my sub runs out) doing industry and trade in highsec because it's ludicrously unbalanced, making nearly none in nullsec, so where we live is completely irrelevant to me. Outer ring is actually good because the logistics make it cheaper and mean I can haul directly with NPC alts.

The funny thing is, this war has in fact increased my income pretty heavily, especially with 1ronbank "teaching us a lesson" by buying out all my overpriced machariels in Jita.

Not all of us are so poor that we need to beg Gevlon to replace the cormorant fleets we welp.

No thanks bro, I think I'll just fade away into obscurity.

You guys are constantly telling us that Mittens doesn't care about us, etc, like suddenly we're going to break down in tears because the leader of a group we were allied with for mutual benefit doesn't put our survival before his own? It makes no sense. We were in the Imperium because we like the players and we benefited from the infrastructure. Now things have changed, we've suffered a loss and we need to rebuild independently, so we will. At no point has any of it been about Mittens caring about us.

I think the issue comes down to you believing the propaganda that we're pets, that we exist solely to assist goons, so getting a pat on the head and a cookie is what we strive to achieve. When you look at it from reality though, that our membership of the Imperium was primarily based on our our own self-interest, those ideas you push about look rather ridiculous.

And believe me if I had to choose between siding with goons and siding with the summer kids from reddit, goons win hands down. "Dank memes" don't really interest me much.

Dude, please. Unless you're Widget's alt or Widget's husband -- which could be true, absolutely -- you have no more way of knowing what the directorate of SMA thought about the Goons than any other line member, including me. And the vast majority of SMA didn't think about the Goons like that.

And if you do have special insight into what goes on in the minds of those at the very top, and what you've just described is that, then I'm going to call you all out right here and now for being cowards and hypocrites for keeping the Goons blued after "leaving" the Imperium.



Nor me. About the "dank memes" that is. I'm nearly 50 -- half of what these youngsters say is cute; the other 25% is image macros made up on the spot, the other 25% may or may not be true memes. "Dank" is a word that we used to describe musty basements or exceptionally good buds of weed.

That's why I didn't flip sides on the spot. I did so after over a month of handwringing after leaving SMA. When I finally joined Horde, it wasn't because of "dank memes." It was because I decided I like what they do -- helping out newbeans -- and because I finally decided I agreed with the cause.

It's not as shallow as you're trying to make it.

The vast majority didn't think of them like what? That we were allied with them for mutual benefit? Quite honestly, I'm not sure what you've taken from that post, but I'm fairly sure you've either misread or misunderstood it.

And yet most of the anti-Imperium guys spend 99% of their time posting them. If I flipped sides I'd have to block half of my allies so I didn't have to see that. I'd much rather go down in flames with the players I have played with for years than flip sides to hang out with the reddit crew.

And mate, horde are PLs defense wing. You're a PL meatshield. Having no entry requirement or basic security does mean you get a lot of new players but it doesn't mean you are helping them out. It's the zero effort way of padding your numbers.

Imperium = CFC= Imperium, where's the difference? You can name shyte also poop, scheiße, ****, excrement, dung and so on and so forth, it still has a brown consistency and stinks.
Well i would call him other names too, but that would get me banned from the forum, so Mitler is the least for that lil poopstain.

Horde is just fun, plain old fun, and yes, new players get excellent training. Run your mouth off all you want about PL (it's probably unwise to do so but whatever) but I really don't think that they need a bunch of newbeans to meatshield for them. They don't even use us that way. We have our own deployments and our own ops.

You didn't answer my question. Imperium=CFC=Imperium where is the difference?
Renaming the CFC just because the PR guys from H1Z1 and Planetside 2 thought it wasn't a good name for marketing purposes, maybe? Or simple delusions of grandeur, maybe?
The problem with Imperiums is that they come and go when their enemies become to strong, the Imperium Romanum is a parade example for that.
The Imperium Romanum became lazy and fat and couldn't even defend their homeland anymore, and one fine day, oops surprise, the Goths captured Rome. Sounds familiar, doesn't it?

The CFC doesn't exist. It's like talking about how bad marathon bars are, just makes you sound like a luddite. You didn't answer my question either by the way.

It wasn't a good name, not just for H1Z1, but once you start getting referred to on non-gaming media sites talking about EVE, having a more family friendly name is a benefit for CCP as well as Mittani.

And you're right, they come and go. They might fall now to a larger coalition (thus proving the necessity of coalitions) but I have no doubt they'll rise again.

Agreed, it was nothing less than terrorism.

The Inferium

are fleeing

meat shields are failing

goons can't mount a defense cause none are even in the game anymore
