Max Doobie is not known for his consistency, his rationality, his trustworthiness or his truthfulness.

Perhaps someone said something rude in corp chat last night that spurred him to create this post? Who knows?


2 things:

Notice how the flunkie uses an alt that I do not recognize.
Notice how the flunkie in his mad dash to score brownie points, shows how he didn't actually read the post, as I stated clearly that I wasn't referring to anyone in particular. I EVEN stated that I expected someone to do exactly what he did.

Hello Newbro Smile

When I first started taking EVE seriously about 3 months ago I had big goals in EVE. I naturally thought that associating myself with the largest and most well known would get me there.

I will not speak on my situation in particular, but I will say this to any new players reading this: being in a large corp/alliance doesn't mean a damned thing. If anything it's worse. It's impersonal, no one knows anyone, it's extremely cliquish and cold. Sure you'll find many within who will help you, but you're sure to find just as many inside who make it their life's plan to be the biggest asshat they can be.

Do NOT fall into the wave of BS in others telling you to run after Goons, TEST, IRC, Razor, Solar, etc. Take your TIME. Some of the BEST corps out there have less than 100 folks. Everyone knows each other. There's no stress or bureaucratic BS. It's all about having some fun with cool folks.

Being in a large corp/alliance isn't as fun as you think. Sure, they have lots of resources to help new players, but that's really about it. The rampant favoritism, drama and red tape really takes away from the experience IMO.

If TEST and Goons are so hostile to new people, how come we have the largest pools of noobs out of any other alliance in game, apart from Ivy League of course?

How do you think we got so large? By scamming brand new players? By being snobby and telling new players to just figure it out and gtfo of our faces? No. TEST and Goons are the poster children for inclusion and patience. That's why people envy us. I speak as a new player myself, CCP owes HBC and CFC for my 3 accounts, I can tell you that with a straight face. I found some cool people to play with, patient and knowledgeable. THEY are the reason I stayed.

I'm utterly devastated that you didn't recognise me, but we've spoken in your thread here. I suppose you didn't catch my name because you were still referring to people by their forum titles back then.

Well, again, I stated I was wasn't necessarily talking about HBC or CFC, but if you want to run back and tattle, be my guest. I'm not going to be anyone's yes man. If I am to be booted for having an opinion, so be it.

Booted from Dreddit? Does that even happen? I mean, outside of spies and awoxers, obviously.
Or supposed spies with their shiny Aeons...

Gevlon Goblin managed it.

Max Doobie may be trying his hardest, but he's a far less efficient troll than Gevlon was, and he's nowhere near as good at choosing targets to annoy.

Edit: I think Xenuria may have been kicked too.

i dont see whats wrong with OP theory that large alliances are not better than small corporations

who doesnt know that?

if you have ever been in guld/corp./alliance with thousands of members you know that already,you have a lot of stuff but you dont know everyone - in small corp. where people know each other you have less power and stuff but its more family like

some prefer power,others prefer relationship and some dont prefer either - all 3 ways are perfectly legit and are no better than other

ohhh max, an eye opened, i hope you will be booted and find a good little corp to have fun with. the sad is that to have a good background to EARN ISK, you need the safetiness of a test or goon or some other shitspace as mostly they dont bite their own tail. anyway i just wanted to join test yesterday (a guy in amar was hiring newbies) but after checking my history he got scared :) poor chap
i would prefer anyway if ccp would destroy these huge cohorts of alts and noobs as they take all the fun from nullsec. if they came alone, they are so noob its not even fun to shoot them down, and when they want revenge they come in hordes so it also not fun. running nullsec wars for territories between a few hundred members counting alliances would be a lot more fun

Isn't my flunkie lol
How could he score brownie points? We do not know each other.
Your alliance and your masters do scam new pilots..
Just because they are 2-5 years old does not mean they are not new.
They could have just started and bought the character.
Then despite all of the posts about scams/ganks etc. they still want to join goons/test.

Edit: Your character implies you are a girl. Roll

So an alliance made up mostly of people from reddit is full of drama and favoritism, shocker.

And in other news bear ***** in woods.

There's drama in TEST. (gets on forums to check). I have to say yes Test is full of retards,nooblets, bambies,yankies, and some from canada Not sure tho, they could be French. But for me test is great its people playing a game. GAME where I can be the biggest jerk say things Id never say to someone in person (not in fear of life) but out of respect. Most of the people in Test I talk with are freaking awesome the roams are great with them. yes drama sure its everywhere you go, I mean we have ratters who cry about dieing to reds. Yes we have people who think there gods in Test. But then again its a game fiction we play chars on the internet.Yes goons and Test control ccp I have heard it all before. But come on I have respect for Reds its a game they play as they like too.We all been ganked,griefed, murdered (in game), Robbed broken blobed, out gunned. But I wouldnt have eve any other way. The day this game is made fair for all I am out. Undocking should always make you feel worried. That cane you tackle should always make you think does he have a cyno? That raven could be dual ASB and be eve Unie and you die to it.

In eve you should be having fun and if not yo

Was Xenuria a spy or awoxer?
