Aren't you from TRIBE? In which case quite Test Pet, don't speak back to Test etc.

Also weren't TRIBE the ones dumb enough to let Prencleeve into the HBC last time around?

As for me, I am a pubbie. (oh look tribal band.... well i am currently "Winning Eve" [forums surfing, not playing but still paying] and thus had no idea so when i stop winning, I will make a decision on where to go.)

Being pubbie lets me decide who I want to affiliate with. Every corp I have been with always asked if I have any affiliation with goons or test. Always. So, that elitism they have comes at a price. The price is their loyalty. once someone is in one of these corps, people will think they are spais all the time because they know that they have an outside allegiance to someone.

But, bragging about being anti-goon is like a hipster saying he/she doesnt like because they are popular.

I've blown up some of their freighters if that makes you feel better. Including (I think it was tribal band) a freighter with supercarriers worth of compressed minerals.

Pizza alt? Probably.


No, I like many other people just had an alt in test and that's exactly what I did with the reddit account I was forced to create for it.

Don't worry I biomassed that alt out of disgust.

But pizza is still bothering you? Did you ever get your bomber FC back after the fat cow chased him into their arms? That was semi-decent forum drama


Pizza isn't bothering me personally, they do god's work by killing clueless ratters though. And Dingo is back yes.

I feel that "pubbies" deserve the opportunities that the "non-pubbies" have.

Confirming that only reddit users are allowed in the HBC, and that only Something Awful members are allowed in the CFC.


For a week old newbie, it would be extremely hard to get into the HBC or CFC if not part of a Reddit or SA.


Sorry, what?

Also, I thought you were like forever-banned from eve.

Came back and was surprised Preen hasn't exploded in a beautiful wordy cloud of rage yet proclaiming that he wishes to be banned. Perhaps he has improved.

Doubt it, I'll wait.

Ranting, trolling and personal attacks are not permitted on these forums.


Forum Rules wrote:


5. Ranting is prohibited

A rant is a long-winded, redundant post, often filled with angry, non-constructive comments. A free exchange of ideas is essential to building a strong sense of community and helpful in the development of the game, but rants are disruptive and incite flaming and trolling. Please post your thoughts in a concise, clear manner and avoid going off on rambling tangents.


6. Personal attacks are prohibited.

Commonly known as flaming, personal attacks are posts that are designed to personally berate or insult another. Text of this nature is not beneficial to the community spirit and will not be tolerated. Corporation, faction and alliance members and other players are cautioned to avoid allowing “in character” disputes from becoming "out of character" personal attacks. The game is designed for role-playing and/or portraying a role and it is sometimes easy for tempers to flare when the lines between the virtual world and the real world are crossed. Please keep in-game disputes in the game and off the forum unless it is clearly a mutual, in-character exchange.


7. Trolling is prohibited.

Trolling is the word used to describe a post that is deliberately designed for the purpose of angering and insulting the players. Posts of this nature are disruptive and do not contribute to the sense of community we want for our forums.
