I've been playing since July of 2009. Had my ups and downs. Made a lot of ISK mining, lost a corp to an infiltrator, lost some expensive ships, blah, blah, blah.

Then I decided to start a mission running corp, and it was expanding nicely. 2.5% tax rate, Level 4 missions 18 hours a day even for people only 2 weeks old. It was a lot of fun helping them. Life was good.

Today I got an application from a 2007 player. +5.0 standing with Concord, no bounty, seemed like a nice guy, but there was a problem. He had been in both Goonswarm and Goonwaffe in 2010. So I asked him about that before accepting the application. He said that was a thing of the past, he had grown out of that phase.

Do you see where I am going now?

I accepted him and asked him along on a Level 4. He killed my CNR right outside of my home station. 994 million ISK down the tubes.

It was obviously my fault, as much for the things I did as the things I didn't do. But what's the result?

All the members of the corp are now in stasis and will be kicked as soon as they come out. Applications will be disabled permanently. I'm not going to quit the game, because I like it, but I would much rather fly solo, and auto-reject, than get another surprise like that.

'Nough said.

You trusted a Goon? Once a Goon always a Goon. You got what you deserved and also learned an important lesson "NEVER TRUST A GOON"

I have some ocean front property in Arizona for sale if you interested.

These are ... awoxing tears?

Sheesh, to imagine someone would actually leave and go all the way to join a mission-running corp in highsec. I mean highsec is the promised land but still...

So you're kicking everyone else from the corp because one guy awox'd you? Well, at least you're not overreacting to it.

With the increase in shiptoasting, the Report timer needs to be shortened.

Kind of the first rule never take an ex-goon character or even one with an alt that has been in Goons. Well a rule in the top 10 anyway.

It is one of the prices of being a goon. If you want to leave Goonswarm you need a new account.

Any spelling, grammatical and punctuation errors are because frankly, I don't care!!

I think everyone's missing the point... he claimed to have made a lot of isk mining. This is clearly a troll Evil

My CEO is an ex-Goon from the BOB days, guess that's why our corp is only RL friends.

EVE, smaller is better. You're best when you're solo.

Or multiboxing, really.

First. I'm not going to discuss mining with anyone who obviously knows nothing about it.

Other than that, the point I was trying to make is that there is no reason to trust anyone else in the game. Doesn't matter who they say they are, where they say they come from, even if they're less than a day old.

I like to think the best of people. To give them a chance. That seems to be pretty much out of the question now.

Actually its not about trust. Its all luck.
Trust is moot. People could go into a partnership or group with the full intent of making it work. Yet this is digital entertainment. Become slightly bored and a wild hair can tickle your jackass button and you decide to watch it all burn. Some people don't have that filter between reality and fantasy and could never bring themselves to go against their own morality for their internet buddies sake. Others can make that distinction have have no inhibitions about the game.
Pretty sure Eve weakens ones empathy skills while strengthening paranoia and isn't a safe game for ones mental faculty.

You've succeded in letting the "dirty gewn" cause far more upset than he'd ever planned on causing by ragekicking everyone.

Exactly. That's why massive corporations are doomed to fail. Smaller is better.
