EVE General Discussion

Haha, really? Ignoring the strange insults and accusations, if you can't play eve online, why do you... play eve online? People called you useless not for going on few fleets, but for not going on any fleets. Nobody cares about your SP. Going through the dreddit newbie process and not seeing that is incredibly blind. You then go on to talk about irrelevant things (all alliances have many alts).

You were kicked because you are abrasive, quick to anger, attention seeking, and unironically bad at the game in every way.

Don't you have a ton of space to protect before it gets taken away?

Oh wait, only 1st of Feb.

Carry on trolling the trolls (for now).

Posting mostly because of heinous use of crapslock

Ocean of ****.

edit: apparently I should have said

Ocean of urine.

I do not believe that you can make the statement that a person does not know you since there have been plenty of posts by you and about you within this forum and various other forums. The statements they make are generic enough that they can be added to you without a qualifier of having ever spoken to you and finally wouldn't the fact that the person has chosen to "jump in on the bashing bandwagon to make some buddies" mean they did, as a fact, think for themselves? Since by choosing a "side" and earning "brownie points" means that they understand the long game of interrelationships with people?

MY TRUCK

I'm not necessarily saying to not join Test. I'm really wanting newer players to stop being suckered into thinking that big=better, as I did.

Hey, Test works for some folks, obviously. Some like that sort of environment. I won't sit here and say Test did no good by me at all. I saw a thread the other day saying there's racism in Test. I defended them. I continuously speak up for them in regards to RMTing allegations. I met lots of very cool bros in Test. I learned a lot as well. However there comes a point where people need to remember this is a game. I am not fond of being censored and told what to think. I am not fond of being criticized for responding to ****-posting with ****-posting in an Alliance that brags about its ****-posting. They, bottom line simply did not like the fact that I

A) Didn't back down from their little Boy's Club within the Alliance insulting me. A few have even stated that they stopped liking me when they saw my interaction with a member named "Nynjato" who is their scamming God. I flat out said that I didn't give a rat's ass who he was, I won't take **** from him or any of them....pretty much downhill from there. I'd ask simply newbie questions and some of them felt the need to come in the thread and be complete and total dickheads for no reason. I responded accordingly. Again, downhill from there.

B) Didn't go along to get along as many in this thread are doing. 95% of the Test members that you seeing coming here to give their take on my character have never even interacted with me. They're simply jumping on the bandwagon. I'm sorry but I consider that extremely weak and lame.

But hey again some folks may like that atmosphere where you get "hazed" and f'ked with if you're outside of the "Circle", yet are jumped on for coming right back at them. Not me. Come at me, I comeback. Be cool with me and I'm cool. The Test guys learned real quick not to come to me with that chest thumping, bullying crap. I don't give a damn about staying in your dumbass Alliance, being accepted by the sheep or any of that crap if it means abandoning my dignity. Especially in a video game.

I think you have put too much stock in the importance and influence of large alliances in the current meta game of Eve. There was a time when alliances and alliance blocs carried with them a certain prestige and power, alliances and blocs where able to do things a small corp or an individual never could.

This however is no longer the case in part because CCP has effectively re-designed the game slowly but surely to make certain that large blocs and alliances are only relevant to each other, not the rest of Eve. What Goons, Test or any Null SOV holding alliance does today is utterly and completely irrelevant to the individual player, small corp or alliance other than the occasional bump in the prices which in itself is completely irrelevant.

There are two key reasons for this. First and foremost, the inflation of the economy has resulted in the average Eve player being able to afford pretty much anything they like. ISK has no value anymore and as such blocs influence on the economy is irrelevant. It doesn't matter if a X ship costs 100 million or 300 million, either amount is nothing, most Eve players poop that out on a daily basis without even playing. The whole Tech Moon control crap.. it only matters to the blocs out in Null Sec, to a small corp like me a few extra million for whatever... I don't even flinch. Utterly and completely irrelevant.

Secondly is space control. There was a time when alliances could control who does and doesn't walk through their space but with wormholes appearing all over the place, its no longer possible to keep people out. I can rat in NULL sec anytime I feel like it and these alliances can't stop me. Worse yet in most cases they are forced to run from my crew as they rarely have the resources and time to put in to try and stop someone from ratting in their back yard. Its only propaganda and fear that keeps people out of null sec, but the alliances can't do **** about it and most people out there don't even bother trying.

In essence, what Null Sec blocs do, has zero impact on the average Eve player. Money is no object and wormholes have made null sec a free ratting zone. There is absolutly no reason to pay for ratting rights or even be in a Null Sec alliances as you have access to all the same resources as an individual without having to ask Big Brother if you can do it. Blocs control over Eve is nothing more than propoganda done right. But it reality, they have no power anymore.

This is far from an "Expose'".

My issue isn't with Test. It's with those, like yourself, who have turned that Alliance that used to welcome and help new players see the beauty of EVE into a Circle-jerking, boys club, Brown-nose fest where unless you tow the line 100%, you will be trolled, attacked and booted. I was harassed and trolled relentlessly the very first time I even questioned one of your butt buddies in the "circle" (Nynjato). From there on out I was constantly accused of having a bad attitude" simply for refusing to fall in line and worship the Boy's Club.

That atmosphere will destroy Test and if allowed to take-over EVE in itself, will destroy this game. The core of this game is the players ability to think outside of the box and be his/her own person. You cannot do that in today's Test or GSF because it's all about being a robot and hoarding isk and anything that gets in the way of that is pushed out.

You place much stock in "speaking personally with someone" to understand their perspectives, yet prior to this forum post, I've never spoken with you, so why then do you keep saying "us"?

Who is this "us" you are referring to? I don't even know who the hell you are.

Here again you are proving my point of this mob mentality within the blue bore. I've gotten along with plenty of people in Test. Yet I have issues with a select few, not including yourself, yet you feel the need to come here and speak on who I am as a person. You then say I don't know Montolio because I haven't spoken to him in person.

Congratulations. You have effectively called yourself a hypocrite.

You do not speak for Montolio. That is why I haven't said anything negative about him. He isn't the problem. He has allowed his alliance to be overtaken by people like you; those who seek to stifle dissenting voices.

I challenge you to provide screenshots not copy and pastes of posts I have made in Test forums whining because I "didn't get my way".

I challenge you to provide screenshots proving my "burning other people's marks".

You are a lying bandwagoning, insignificant Grunt who is looking for any opportunity to be accepted. I feel sorry for you.

Topic has become ranting and trolling in the extreme. Therefore the thread has been locked.
