EVE General Discussion

After so many crushing defeats in the land of Goondom at the hands of the enemies in space we have found ourselves overwhelmed by expert spaceshipmen. The Mittani has us now mining in high sec and building Hurricanes, and other things, just to keep up appearances. Times are dark in the land of Goons.

Oh how the mighty have fallen they say as they whelp our fleets one by one, pillage our Sov, and take the last bit of freedom the bees hath had for ever so long. We called for aid but no one would come to aid us, all our allies have abandoned us and called us bad names. Times are harder then ever as morale falters and infighting continues. Just yesterday I saw a man proposing we resort to begging for handouts from others, or even sink to the lowest of lows and scam in Jita local. I believe that same man was left behind to die at the hands of the ever maddening Mittani.

Recently I heard Mittani say that we are destined to lose this war mostly because we all did not have enough paplinks, and participation has faltered every single day (playing Overwatch?). For who truly wants to die at the hands of our skillful enemies in these grand space battles? What madness is this I ask? Others ask so what is the plan now? After a long while I heard someone speak up and say, we need to get good at pvp! Not long after others seemed to chime in and agree, we need to move further into Losec space and start our own Red vs Blue. We have forgotten the ancient arts of combat and must once again relearn those ways which we have lost while getting fat off of rats in Deklein.

So it has been said, and so it shall be done. We have lost our ways and forgotten who we are, lost in drink as drunken filth and merely must relearn our old ways. This is how the Goonhammer must be forged! They shall know us for what we truly are and they will fear our awesome skillz once again. Let no one have any doubts, the Goons are here and here to stay!

You were not abandoned by your allies, you abandoned them, and your leaders were planning to deliberately let them die so that they could be absorbed into goonswarm as revealed by lemba so much for that "worst enemy absolute best friend" tripe.
And you are here to stay, but do go and ask someone from goonwaffe, are you a goon, your probably not gonna like the response if you think you are one.

Goons have lost their sov because of a massive overhaul to sov mechanics that favours attackers dogpiling.
The rest is details.

Edit: or madly ignorant opinions tinged with RP.

What if I told you that this was all planned? That GSF decided to help out CCP knowing the population was in decline? So GSF secretly agreed to tackle this growing threat by doing what they do best, create content. I'm not going to say that losing all of Sov and upsetting all of the IWI staff was part of the plan however. Things didn't go precisely as planned perhaps but nonetheless the population increased, people logged in just because of the war, and so interest has been renewed until CCP can implement a more permanent solution.

And why do this? Because without players there is no content, and a failurecascade is something that is hard to avoid in a niche game like EVE. So perhaps GSF isn't evil after all, they just did the right thing despite being branded as pure evil by everyone.

Kind of a twist isn't it?
