If it turns out that Goonswarm (however inadvertently) managed to deliver cheap Fleet Stabbers into the hands of the heroes of the Matari people .....
I curse the Goonswarm Federation for adding a couple billion isk to my wallet during my brief stay in the Minmatar Militia. I am sure hundreds of current members in the Minmatar militia have been equally "persecuted" at the hands of those evil Goons.

The funny thing is, that others were doing this too. Not the the degree of the Gomnswarm Federation but still were doing it. Even the glorious and honourable Jade admitted to it in which she boasted she stole 8.7billion from the TLF.


My understanding is that Jade's philosophy requires an end to all of the major governments. So it would hardly be a surprise if she had been involved in an underhanded attempt to crash the economy of one of them.


That level of rhetoric is certainly up there to your usual standard Blake. In this case however I can only claim responsibility for taking my share of payment (alongside several hundred other Militia auxillaries) for services apparently rendered to the Matari state.


So you really were working directly for the Matari State and not trying to bring them down from within? What a long way you've come.


The Amarrian Empire needs to fall as a matter of priority for anybody who aspires to a future where individual sovereignity and freedom of association has meaning. For an anarchist individualist to take profit from one government while helping to destroy a more regressive one is hardly a stretch. Once the last Matari slave is freed from the Amarrian workcamps then we can talk about the problems with the Republic in earnest.

Fortunately, they're--the vast majority of the rank-and-file that I've seen, anyway--too stupid, plus possessed of infantile attention-spans. Amongst their other infantile qualities.

The universe will take care of itself. It always does.

Goons will be brushed aside and forgotten in due course, same as all their ilk.

I heard that CONCORD reversed the payments made to the Goons?


I've heard similar rumors, although no doubt with skilled infiltrators like the ones who executed this plan, no doubt they have been able to launder quite a bit of the illicit isk.

Is there a list of names of the involved capsuleers?

What began as a disgusting game has clearly turned into a disgusting farce. I can only hope this scandal, and others like it, will bring us closer to a complete and final discontinuation of this entire sordid bloodsport.

Then stop being the comically blatant archetype of so many, or at least be a bit more subtle about it.

That's the thing about a lot of stereotypes, see -- especially ones that are held in common by a large proportion of a group as heterogeneous as our so-lovely cluster's Egg-drivers:

They become so, because there is often at least a kernel of truth to them to many people.

If you believe me a blatant archetype of so many generalizations, then I think you are forming that opinion based on assumptions rather than the entire lack of interaction you've had with me.

It takes a very, very special kind of ******* idiot to make me sympathise with Jade Constantine while still holding the massive advantage of using less words than her.

I for one would be interested in hearing how this recent humiliation and economic disgrace upon the TLF has affected the State Protectorate and it's allies in the 24th imperial crusade. Also what is the Federation's position on this issue?

It is a symptom of madness that thoughts become uncontrollably disjointed. This can be encouraged.
