This will only last as long as it takes The Mittani's ego to recover from the huge kick in the arse from certain statements at a certain fan gathering. I reckon after 28th April the program will end, since he'll be able to log in and … oh hang on.

Damn. I was certain that conspiracy theory was going somewhere.

Though I must voice my concerns over the stability of Goonswarm if they are suddenly expected to be respectful to other people (and themselves). That's anathema to the core culture of Something Awful. This will end in tears.

Ah no. The goal is wrap themselves in the flag of Good Posting so as to occupy the Moral High Ground in order to have Just Cause to attack anyone who posts anti-Mittani material (i.e. mentions fanfest, cyberbullying, etc.) and to be seen as Fine Upstanding Pillars of the Community who are being unfairly lambasted in the liberal, leftist, anti-large-corporation, anti-success, you're-just-jealous media, thus garnering Public Sympathy in order to achieve Positive Spin in any future news stories run by Gaming Press.

They have to be subtle and sophisticated with this PR campaign because a crude "putting lipstick on a pig" re-imaging PR campaign wouldn't work due to people asking why CCP devs have lipstick on their *****.


edit: Also, with a new, radical, campaign strategy, it gives Mittani the excuse to perform a reorg (due to the focus change) and thus shuffle potential rivals out of the way while keeping the masses too busy (and confused) to let any disgruntlement grow into revolt.

edit2: And since the history channel no longer spams WWII documentaries, Mittani is free to use the highly effective and proven propaganda methods of WWII without the younger members having any idea of what's happening to them.

'A violent purge of 4channers, o7o7m8s, LOL GURL, badposters, lemming 'jokes', and ~mommies toonies iskies corpies~'

Now I'm not saying it's not a troll. But it's a trifle more elaborate than some. (If it's not a troll, then it's a good thing.)


The mittani is actually doing something good for once. I am continually impressed with his uncanny tendency to align his goals parallel with mine without even the slightest of prompting. Perhaps their is hope for an alliance after all.

Nonsense really. The problem with a religious cult like Goonswarm is that anything the "great leader" says becomes word of law for the mindless followers. Mittani says tomorrow that all goons must talk entirely in emoticons they'll do it because thats the way cult programming works.

Because we hope against all hope that you'd actually extend such policies to posting to other people too?

The word on the street is: this cultural revolution is a result of DBRB's inability to STFU on ops.

Is that true?

I had nothing to do with that kill other than advising the pilot responsible.
Also anyone begging that hard in any channel deserves to get blown up anyways.
