Not again.... ...and again...and again.... (If you say one word over and over long enough it begins to sound like jibberish!) We must accommodate the idiocracy.

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

It does, I believe. I'm double checking in Google and typing in: "Goonswarm recruitment" nets me the following search suggestions:

"Goonswarm Recruitment", "Goonswarm Recruitment Scams", "Goonswarm Recruitment Scams 2013"

It's hinting at something, I think! Trying the first selection and first link on that and what does it say?

Quote:

Requirements
GoonWaffe is NOT a publicly recruiting corporation. We are all members of the Something Awful forums, or well-known friends of someone who is a member. To join GoonWaffe you MUST either be a member of the Something Awful forums and have been an active member for at least 3 months, or you must have a sponsor who is a GoonWaffe member of good standing who is willing to vouch for you, meets the above requirement, and has been a member of GoonWaffe for 30 days. If you do not meet the above requirements then you can not join.

And the next line in BOLD RED BIG letters.

Quote:

If you gave isk to join GoonWaffe then you were scammed and you're **** out of luck.

Which makes it even more amusing when somebody falls for it.

I cannot have sympathy for somebody that loses even a single ISK in EVE to GSF:Recruitment when they:

(a) signed up to play a game with scamming at its core
(b) failed to even do a cursory search for information about the corporation they're joining

At least the Goons are doing a valuable public service in this regard, you have to hand them that.

Well it might just be a coincidence, but our SRP amounts doubled across the board not long ago. Also, I have to admit that it took me way, way, WAY too long to parse who "GUNS" were.

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 :)

TL:DR - Grrr Goons
