Crime & Punishment

Gevlon,

I’ll make this public, since you’ve decided to make nothing private.

I'm not one for forums so you probably won't see me post a response again, because I actually have a community to manage in game. Apparently you run some blog site too but i'm yet to waste my time on that.

You seem to state a lot of things that RvB leadership are planning, yet you've never asked me, or the other RvB CEO a single thing. I’m probably one of the most chilled easy-going guys you will meet in EvE, so don’t be afraid to simply talk to me rather than spouting haphazard rumours that make you look silly.

I must take my hat off and thank you for creating so much extra content for RvBers. Purple fleets help to solicit the community bond between both teams and they are a hell of a lot of fun (Stick a spy alt in them and enjoy our coms).

RvB obviously thoroughly enjoys PvP combat, and we take all the targets we can get. If you were not such an imbecile at the start, you could have come to us and said "hey would you like to help us shoot *Insert Any Alliance Here* for a week?" and we might have listened if it gave us good fights. We don't really care who we shoot, because we have no null-sec sovereignty to defend or tangible treaties to break. But now after your terrible management of what should have been a diplomatic war, you are left with fewer options and more opposition.

I don't really mind Marmites anymore, we have some fun tussles and they provide our pilots with lots of third party war-target content when some of our pilots want to fly together as purple and bring out the fun ships.
We lose some ships to them; they lose some ships to us. Very surprisingly, RvBers have grown to enjoy Marmite combat because we get to use fun ships that we wouldn’t normally like to explode 10 times a day in normal RvB combat. I'm sure Marmites enjoy the combat just as much, given that we have some silly new members who don’t know how to use instant-undocks (You are welcome Tora). I’ve learned that they are great at camping stations and trade routes; it’s not my idea of fun but good on them for doing what they do best. They also have some of the most entertaining forum trolls that I’ve witnessed.

As for a 'deal' with Goonswarm, it's nothing but a mutual agreement and never will be anything more. You know, the kinds of things that two sensible and intelligent organisations perform. After our POCOs were acquired, the conversation went basically like this "If you want to help defend our POCOs, we will help defend yours. There's no obligation to come and we know there are times that you won’t want to if you have other stuff to do".
Goons know full well that RvB likes to remain as neutral as we can. But this mutual agreement makes too much sense for both RvB and Goonswarm. It originally started during the POCO implementation into EvE. Both Goons and RvB wanted as many POCOs in The Forge region as we could each get, it would be silly to spend half the acquisition time fighting each other, so we said we will try and aim for different systems… and we did just that. The whole conversation was over before you could drink a glass of Quafe.

I was hesitating whether or not it was necessary to help Goonswarm in the last POCO assistance. I was actually leaning against it, to try and find some new third party war-targets… but the response from our members suggested that they really enjoyed the last POCO defence fleets and roams, so as long as RvB members are having fun I don’t mind RvB entering the war again if Goonswarm needs assistance (they really don’t even need our help). If RvB members did not enjoy it, we would not do it; some of the members who lost expensive pods were the most vocal advocates for continuing the war. We laugh at them for losing expensive pods and they laugh too (Just probably not as much).

The killboard statistics which you seem to post. We simply don’t care. Posting an RvB war report is like posting a BNI war report. You seem to be the only person in New Eden who does not know that RvB is not playing a risk-averse PvP game here. The only time we post a killboard report is if we win against people who are trying to play an ISK efficiency game, because that stuff both amuses and surprises us.

I've come to the conclusion that you have kept this entire charade going purely because you like the attention... Honestly, that’s my current thoughts. Otherwise, I can not see the benefits from your standpoint.

By trying to crush this 'evil Goon regime' you've gone ahead and proven that goons are not bad guys at all, and at the same time... proven what a rude ignorant person you can be.

The way I see this;
Marmites win. They get their same wars AND get paid.
RvB wins. They get more things to shoot, for free.
Goons win. They keep their POCOs.
Gevlon, you might even win at this, because you get the attention you seem to crave.
It's your new alliance members which I feel sorry for. They appear to be fighting your personal vendetta against Goonswarm… Which has now suddenly shifted to RvB for some nonsensical reason. I could say more on this but I will give you the benefit of the doubt. I will make the precarious assumption that outside of this pointless propaganda posting that you are a sensible and reasonable person.


All I can further say is that you have a lot to learn when it comes to the area of PR and running a community appropriately. If you would like to respond to me Gevlon, I’m happy to listen to your private chat in-game or on Skype.
Otherwise your future public posts and questions directed at RvB command will sadly be falling on deaf ears.


Thank you again for all the PvP content,
FallenTitan
Blue Republic CEO

^^ How is that a meltdown?

Gevlon I am trying to comprehend the "stupid" in your last couple posts, you know if you are clearly better at managing a corporation and concerned about ISK efficiency and KB, why aren't you control of some of the largest high or low-sec entities why have all your previous endeavors not turned out so sweet?

Why do we need another thread of the same topic?

I've come to the conclusion from this thread that Gevlon Goblin is actually a Goon spy.

The reason: Goonswarm know, and are open about the fact, that nullsec wars are won and lost by virtue of winning the morale battle.

Now Mr Goblin's posts have no effect on the morale of the CFC's enemies. But for the Goons - these tears and this apparent meltdown of a well known player are pure gold, the nectar they thrive on.

Now Mr Goblin has (intermittently at least) demonstrated intelligence in-game, despite pretending to be a fool with threads like these. He's not fooling me, I know he has a brain. As such he must be merely feigning this stupidity, knowing that - as long as he is not uncovered - he will be entertaining Goons and hence encouraging them to play more and more, helping the CFC win its wars.

Notice that Mr Goblin has declined to take steps that would actively hurt the CFC war effort, such as purchasing Pandemic Legion some replacement Titans. Instead he has inflicted an amount of damage that, whilst it would be devastating to most corporations, would barely scratch Mynnna's wallet, much less the CFC's warchest, and in doing so, he has motivated more and more Goons to log on and laugh at his feigned idiocy.


Mr Goblin, you have been exposed as a Goon spy!

This is excellent. While sitting in the hell camp Lyris explained just what the "Dunning Kruger" effect is. And here I get to see it applied.

Thanks.
