Assembly Hall

As you all know Goonswarm has spread like a virus across Eve Online. I don't claim to know the history of it, but what I do see is a new face upon eve online. When I returned to Eve it was not the same universe that I had left behind. It's a new verse that is plagued by a powerful syndicate that has spread to the roots of every null sec corp.

The Goons started when a corporation called Band of Brothers started using an exploit to amass a fleet and lag out players so bad that they couldn't activate their weapons, undock or warp out when they needed to. They were bent on dominating the game from the get go, and built swarms of newbie ships to take out carriers. The news announcement came that a new organization started to join the fight against Band of Brothers. Goonswarm federation had joined forces with IRON to fight BOB off using the same battletactics. They formed massive swarm battles that lag up the server so bad that CCP had to fix the server nodes

Goons now control 100% of the north. Their headquarters JU-OWQ and VFK are old sites that have outposts that predate player outposts. These systems have perma level 5 industry and can be used to make an alliance strong. With this region and 300 or better active players you could control the region well enough to defend it. With 1000 people you could turn the tide of the game. This region used to be populated by carebears who ruled it with an IRON fist. Are you going to let Goons take over the game? They claim the game will go bankrupt and servers will close by December. Maybe they will succeed and get enough people to quit to shut down eve for good. From what I heard the guy who runs it is a Lawyer who wanted to sue the CCP.

These players all started right around the time of the Plex. The plex was new and that meant people could start alt accounts with isk they amassed from industry, T2 BPOs. They bought plexes for prices like 250m. Being able to amass trial accounts and plex them meant that they could devise a master scheme to rule the eve universe. It meant they could hack the Eve servers and not have to worry about loosing their account, because it was just a plex. It meant they could be as rude and mean to people as they have many accounts and it doesn't matter. The free to play plex changed the game.
It changed the people who play it as well.

Today Goonswarm is spread all across the map in null sec. They rule the nullsec map carefully using infiltration and military tactics and psychological warfare. They take wings of their corp mates and start corps for holding soverign space. They then recruit and decieve a group of players into a corp under Goon control. If you want into a null sec corp then you've got to hand them your API. The API is one of their best spy tools, and in the hands of a Goon your API is their weapon.

The Game Breaker --- Goonswarm Federation

The Goons are guarding the most profitable regions of the game. They now have taken leadership roles in many of the null sec organizations and alliances. They have installed so many alt accounts all over Eve. Be warned, the goons use real military style psychological warfare against the players of eve. The style and type they use varies with the individual target.

The infiltrator -
You may have them in your corperation or alliance playing for a leadership role already.
Know what to look for. A Goon recruiter will troll away the good recruits while installing more swarm into your corp.

The Sov Breaker-
A diplomat, alliance or corp leader who is acting as a leader to keep a group of people busy. They'll try to keep an alliance or corp thinking they don't need industry, just PVP. They'll get players to stay in their base and buy ships and break their bank before they get powerful enough to do some damage.

To defeat goons you need an Alliance whose ready to supply between 200 and 500 ships including cruisers .
When you get enough people ready to skrimish in cruisers and frigates you can get people who fly bigger ships.
Most of the older players get singled out , broken and shredded into nothing unless they can plex up different accounts to keep on the down low.

IT's rude to ask an old player for their API.
It's also not as secure as they say it is. Someone checked my API without even leaving a single log.
A rich lawyer is someone who knows what real goons are like and they know how to get people who can hack computers and worse, they can be dangerous people too.

The truth is I don't wanna see a corp like that Ruling the game. It's got me flamed up something fierce. So pardon me while I burst into flames. I need 1000 ships to alter the course of the game. So if you're still interested in playing then come rise above the rest. Go tickle syndicate in the west and you'll see some of the best. Go to curse and you'll see some of the worst.
The north offers up the berth of the eve economy and it should be harnessed by the best people.

Build up your connections, don't let yourself be harassed.
Let the Goons Burn for their actions.

The tinfoil hat is strong in this one.

Also... psychological warfare, massive organization, propaganda, and infiltration are bad now?

What also makes me laugh is that this bring sense to an old saying, at least it is an old saying around my folks:

"Your envy makes my success."

It doesnt matter if you dont want to be like the Goons, despise their methods or their "being", they wouldnt employ such methods or be at all if lots of people didnt liked their ways.

I see a lot of people complaining about what large groups can do, and that has a reason, you complain too much and that makes impossible for you to rise or join a large group.

Trying way too hard, not believable.

Better luck next time.

Too Long, but read it.

This OP is either some type of troll, scam, poor propaganda or butt-hurt for not getting into the Goons.

Don't care enough to figure it out, so I'll just say "Not buying it!" and move on.
