Given that the OP is probably an alt of Karttoom (or however it's spelt Roll), then is that really such a surprise.

OP, why aren't you forum-banned yet again?

Any number of reasons, the most likely one being that I am not an alt of karttoon. I mean seriously, by now I've been accused of being the alt of half of EVE. Roll

Interesting to read your view point.. I don't agree with all your suppositions. and pontificating about a goon positive influence as if for the last 2 years it's been any different than living with bob for the typical player is laughable. Bob died of apathy.. and waneing positive leadership not so much of goon intrigue.. Had the goon stayed in their own little corner of the internet and never come to eve bob would very likely still be gone today.

Those were the glory days of Eve, back when men were men and women were BoB.

Nowadays there's no 'evil empire' to fight. All we have are -A-, and they're more of an 'incompetent empire'. They can't even hold a candle to the memory of BoB.

BoB was willing to stick around while they could lord it over EvE, but left when they were kicked to hisec. This is what separates BoB from Goonies. Yes, the goons are the special children of the internet. However, if their sov was turned off tomorrow, and someone stole their alliance name, would they fall? I think not.

Sure, I'm a little biased. I was part of Big Blue, and when the MC started with us, hired by BoB, I took it personally. I also helped set up a frigate fleet for the brand new goonies, most of whom couldn't even fly a cruiser at that point. They were continually jumping in to plant a jump clone and going home. That way, if we needed them, they'd come "for the lulz".


BoB treated them like dirty street kids on BoB's nice rugs. Now the dirty street kids own the rugs, without the BoB attitude.

The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that English is about as pure as a cribhouse [lady of commercial virtue]. We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.- James Nicoll

not empty posting

Tedium and difficulty are not the same thing, if you don't realize this then STFU about game design.
