Basically we were batman, they were robin. Then robin pulled out a gun figuring they could be the new batman if they killed him and took the cape only we were wearing bulletproof armor and we beat the hell out of robin and now we hang out with batgirl but not the crippled one sally gordun or whatever but the hot silent one.

hope this helped.



Most succinct and historically accurate description of these events ever posted.

Strange memories on this nervous night in 6VDT-H. Six months later? Eight? It seems like a lifetime, or at least a Main Era—the kind of peak that never comes again. Fountain and Delve in mid-late-2013 was a very special time and place to be a part of. Maybe it meant something. Maybe not, in the long run . . . but no explanation, no mix of words or killboards or memories can touch that sense of knowing that you were there and alive in that corner of time and the eve universe. Whatever it meant. . . .

History is hard to know, because of all the hired bullshit, but even without being sure of “history” it seems entirely reasonable to think that every now and then the energy of a whole alliance comes to a head in a long fine flash, for reasons that nobody really understands at the time—and which never explain, in retrospect, what actually happened.

My central memory of that time seems to hang on one or five or maybe forty nights—or very early mornings — when I left hi-sec half-crazy and, instead of going home. . . booming through the warp tunnel at the lights of Delve and Fountain, not quite sure which gate to take when I got to the other end . . . but being absolutely certain that no matter which way I went I would come to a place where people were just as high and wild as I was: No doubt at all about that. . . .

There was madness in any direction, at any hour. If not in Delve, then Fountain or Pure Blind. . . . You could strike sparks anywhere. There was a fantastic universal sense that whatever we were doing was right, that we were winning. . . .

And that, I think, was the handle—that sense of inevitable victory over the forces of Old and Evil. Not in any mean or military sense; we didn’t need that. Our energy would simply prevail. There was no point in fighting—on our side or theirs. We had all the momentum; we were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave. . . .

So now, less than one year later, you can go to a fare planet in 6VDT-H and look West, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high-water mark—that place where the wave finally broke and rolled back.


Does anyone else hear this post being read in Fred Savages voice?

What would you do if I sang out of tune,
Would you stand up and walk out on me?
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song
And I'll try not to sing out of key.

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends

What do I do when my love is away
(Does it worry you to be alone?)
How do I feel by the end of the day,
(Are you sad because you're on your own?)

No, I get by with a little help from my friends
Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends
Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends

TEST were these guys in comms that made things unbearable as a newbie in January 2012. When I asked who these shitlords were, there was apologia abound. "widot or [CFC member here] is worse", and that might be true (still), but I didn't know any of these alliances, except that TEST ****-posting came in numbers, and fiercely. It took a while for this toxicity and resentment to trickle upwards on both sides. The only good excuse I've heard is "we thought they were cute once. I'm sorry."

I think maybe the cards were on the table when the CFC pushed for the Cultural Revolution as a joke and TEST moreso than others started pearl-clutching hard and wrote unironic prose and poetry on their God given right to use the N-word on mumble.

By the time the reset came I think everyone realized that people weren't saying "reset TEST" as a cutesy catchphrase, but was an unironic call to be given carte blanche to shoot them.

And then we went to war, and their allies of convenience got bored, left, and they promptly died, ushering in a golden age for the CFC.

If you've ever seen Jurassic Park just replace the word "Raptor" with "TEST" and you'll be good.

This should be good.

Which actions, specifically?

You don't appear to have been in TEST at the time, so I'm wondering which of the numerous post-hoc revisionist histories you've been spoon-fed.

And no, friend, telling you we beat you isn't "tears".

You seem to live in some weird ass world where the truth of events in Eve are easily obfuscated by people like endie and mittens. The only people going out of their way to obfuscate and revise the roadmap to the fountain war seems to be TEST itself. I remember DurrHurrDurr going straight for the guy The Mittani made fun of at fanfest the moment it was clear he was in deep over that. He had no need to further harass that guy in-game but he did out of some weird CFC-based loyalty. The pastures were greener and filled with **** and TEST revisionists try to paint their incubation time in the CFC as some sort of tortuous abusive ordeal, but that's not the score and it never will be.

Revisionism is really not a useful thing to attempt when you're on the internet, since y'know, the truth is out there.

Although, I suppose doublethink is pretty useful.

I still think my chicken dinner story is the most accurate in the thread.
