I think you fell for the infamous and incredibly well-documented Goonswarm recruitment scam. I think you got what you deserved. :)

No, your rights end in optimal+2*falloff

I think it even says on their wiki that they do recruitment scams.

I also think it's hilarious that people fall for things like that.

"Verily, I have often laughed at the weaklings who thought themselves good because they had no claws."

One of ours, ten of theirs.

Best Meltdown Ever.

Wait, so you were what like a TEST guy who got scammed by a rogue Goon recruiter when you logged back in after your alliance lost the region?

Send all this evidence to The Mittani if you want a hope of getting your stuff back and the scammer kicked.

See Bio for isk doubling rules. If you didn't read bio, chances are you funded those who did.

Yeah, you could be this guy. The total was close to 60 billion, I believe.

If I read that ALOD correctly, didn't he lose 60b via gank, then 2nd 60b via scam? Third time's a charm....

Big smile

I don't know you. I have never played EVE with you until now. So I'll be as nice as I can about this:

Why the **** did you apply to Goonswarm ?

2 years ago, that would have made sense. They were rebuilding their empire under their new ticker with the Mittani. You'd be up for a challenge.

Now? What you did now is applying to an alliance everybody and their mother is in. You applied to an alliance that openly states they want to be dicks in EVE.

I have stuff in Fountain. A capital in 6VDT even. You see me applying?

So... sorry about your stuff, but this is one of the rare cases Goonswarm did me a favor by making me smile.

As for me being atleast a little bit nice to you and not all smug; you'll live m8.
Run some missions, get a new Raven, run some more missions and think of a new plan in EVE. In a year or two you'll look back at this and think; Man... why the **** did I apply to Goonswarm? You may even smile then.

And welcome back to EVE :)

I hope *you* learned something from this. What?

First, Goons who even warn for themselves.

Second, this is EVE, you have scams & scammers EVERYWHERE.

Third, you are no-where safe, not even docked up as we can see here.


Anyway, if you left EVE for a while, came back to find your corp/alliance to be gone and you are stuck in null with lots of assets you can petition to be moved. I think it's one ship with whatever you can load into it, the rest you'll just have to sell off.

Well Scooter doesn't scam and I clearly see paint in the taskbar. This is all some elaborate hoax to make Scooter look bad. OP should be ashamed.
