Crime & Punishment

Thanks for clearing that up. Btw Im a neut here not the goblin and Im not in lemmings. You seem to have missed that, quite probably cos yr just skimming the thread. So yr insults just went straight over my shoulder and missed. Im also new to eve (as I said) so didnt know exactly what waffles did. So thanks for telling me.

Seem like fun engagements at the moment are the territory of Brave Newbies. They went all in with their fleet in 0-W. It's one thing to show up at a fight against a larger enemy, but it's another thing entirely to hold your ground once you realise you are going to suffer a total loss. Hat tipped to them for that.

Alternatively groups like RvB offer easy access to combat. If you really want to find a small tight-knit group to have a load of fun with though, then FW groups can be a good laugh.

Yeah I tried FW and it just made me want to pirate

I can't speak for any of our various allies, but Goonwaffe is a corporation for Something Awful members who happen to play eve. Something Awful is not a forum for eve players who happen to be in Goonwaffe. Just like Starfleet Dental is the group for Something Awful members who happen to hate themselves enough to play Star Trek Online/Star Citizen. If EVE were to shut the servers down tomorrow, we'd all still be playing together as goons, just somewhere else.

That being said we have myriad other corporations and alliances within our august coalition who I'm sure would be happy to find a place for you. Convo me in game and I'll see about hooking you up.

So I found this in Gevlon's comment section, and I want you to put some sad violin music on and let me tell you a little story about our favourite little randian blogger.



So, after months (years?) of being told "Well done on making ISK to make ISK it's completely pointless", it seems he has finally 'got it'.

He's sad, alone, and without anything to do, or anyone to share it with. He's come to realise, that if he has to pay billions to join TEST, an alliance with open-door recruitment, that perhaps he won't ever fit in anywhere.

sniff

So, what does he do? He tries to be ~~relevant~~

"I know", he thinks to himself "I can use my money to grrrrGOONS louder than anyone has ever grrr'd a goon before!"

And so, our hero sets out, with a fat wallet, but nothing but anger and contempt in his heart.

"They call my plans foolish! What will they say when I pay someone to keep their money-POCOs reinforced so they stop making money? HA! Money from their alliance wallets! You'll rue the day you made me look like a little man now Mynnna!"

But instead, we all pointed and laughed, because he didn't think to see how things worked before acting. In a little twist of comedy, he even explicitly claims in his initial post, that this plan will only work because there's no timers to fight over.

"gggggggggggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrGOOOOOOOONNNNS!!"

some time passes

"Well, then I will get the people necessary to actually fight these timers! AHAHAHAH people will join and this will be amazing. Also, I won't lead this in any way because then people can't say I failed. Man I covered all my bases this time".

But instead, we all pointed and laughed, because he didn't think to see how things worked before acting, and RvBee kicked into action. POCOs were saved, and the good guys cheered.

"gggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrRgrgrrrrrrrr grgrg rg rgr grrrrrrrrrrrrr RVBEEEEE!"

(Medical doctors should have gotten involved at this point).

"I know, I will make RvB quit the war, by graphing a lot and calling them pets!"

But instead, we all pointed and laughed, because he didn't think to see how things worked before acting, and this time RvB got to join in the head scratching.

This tale continues to this very day, and some people say that deep in Hungary, from a tiny apartment, you can hear the faint whimpers of a man flushing a toilet, his pretend money in one hand, and a graph in another.

Ultimately, we're in a situation where someone is desperate for attention, and meaning. It's a tragic tale, because through alienating everyone he has ever spoken to, he has ended up in the situation where his only possible course of action, is to keep throwing his hard-earned money in the bin, because that's the only use for it now.

What to expect? Well he needs people to recognise his efforts, so there will be loads more blogging, graphing, posting and blogging to come, as he tries to convince people he is responsible for all this "damage" to GSF.
We'll continue to keep all our POCOs, because he's a couple of orders of magnitude short of actually impacting those. He will ultimately keep ignoring everyone, even Marmite themselves, who tell him "claiming responsibility is dumb".
Freight club in particular were massacring our jump-freighters long before Gevlon started paying the wardec fee.

When this finally sinks in, Gevlon, you can send me the remainder of your ISK as you quit the game. Put a snarky comment in the comment field if you want!

As far as I know, there are actually *three* Waffles:

1: Goonswaffle, the dark heart of the goons

2: Sniggswaffle, a training group (?) for PL (I'm not sure of the exact details)

3: Those awesome pancake-like things with little squares you can put syrup in.

Until I learned that 1 and 2 weren't the same, it was rather confusing. Thankfully I never put syrup on any of them.

Lastly, there may be *other* waffles I don't know about.
