Without the feely though the touchy is illegal in many parts of the world. Then again when just paying for touchy it usually costs a lot less.

It is a conundrum.

"flipped out" is a bit far. With what I said there being fairly mundane I assumed (it appears wrongfully) that you were pointing out the irony of having the s on the end of issues, pluralising it and making it technically incorrect from a grammatical standpoint. I apologise for the misunderstanding.

Dear Gevlon: This is certainly amusing and dare I say, even hilarious. Please continue to waste your money and time for a pointless endeavor. Unless someone can show any measurable, quantifiable and relevant change on CFC activities and on member base that can be demonstrated to have occurred due to Gevlon's small business crusade against CFC, I will continue to laugh at you.

Hint: A rank and file member of CFC that has spent at least 6-7 months in with multiple characters and a gamer mindset can and does earn more than you monthly, and thus, more resourceful than you. Your ~wealth~ is only comparable to those who are like that, not top %1'ers such as mynnna.

You are small fish and hence, not relevant.

But by all means, please continue to pursue your hilarious obsession. I for one do cherish the comedic value in your waste of time and resources.

A true stroke of brilliance would be to make a CFC titan named Gev-Gob's Erebus. Then offer it up on kill blues day. Then at least there might be some suggestion he could own one.

Or even better sell him one for 20b with the wrong topes. Then kill him.

1) he gets to claim he scammed goons with a graph and or some such
2) cribba can pay out the 20b to the goons who kilt him
3) we all get to giggle at how bass-akwards the whole situation is

It is win-win-win all around.

It's plain and simple: kill a CFC titan for me and you get 20B bounty! The money is held by Chribba, so you can be damn sure you'll get it. He'll post in this thread. To get the money, you must send a mail to me and Chribba with the following:

  • link to the API verified Zkillboard page of the kill
  • the dead pilot must be in a CFC alliance (no "I swear he is a Goon alt" accepted)
  • a link to a well readable screenshot of the fight with the titan still alive but damaged, without any masking (minimize your secret channels). Local channel must be open, readable, with transparent background.
  • on the local channel of the screenshot at least 5 people must say "Gevlon Goblin sends his regards"
  • The money will be given to the corp of the highest damage dealer.


Spies, titan-logoff-point campers, awoxers, get to work! Death to the titan of Evil! Grr!


I'll do it, I have kindly supplied a list of things I will require to carry this out

1. A coalition of alliances to come with me to attack CFC
2. A capital/Supercap fleet with a few supporting sub cap fleets
3. A 2nd Capital and 2nd Supercap fleet
4. intelligence from an alt within CFC (At a level where they can actually direct me to titans
6. Enough money to stage POS's in several systems, And a ship replacement program that I can use to refund lost ships in this challenge

These are 6 extremely reasonable requests, I'll even let you keep the 20Bn, Just supply these items for me and we'll be good to go. I would consider this

The whole reason Gevlon throws money around to try to fight the CFC is because he is incapable of doing it any other way. Lemmings is an utter joke, and Gevlon isn't remotely capable of the diplomacy required to actually obtain competent allies.

What I am curious about is if Gevlon actually thinks 20b is enough to convince a group of players to risk the hundreds of billions of isk required to kill a titan and to incur the enmity of a 30k player coalition - or if he is just hoping to get credit for a kill.

Everybody wins except Goblin, and who cares about him?

Edit: bonus points if we kill it with a swarm of bombless bombers.

why wait for an FFA? get to work. according to this thread you're all rich so the loss of isk for the titan kill shouldn't be a problem.

He can do that right now without spending anything. The only person who would credit this guy with a titan kill is himself, anyone else would just laugh in his face.

They have lot of "recruiters" who gladly invite you. Just contract them your stuff and pay 500M transport cost.

Which is one of the main points why I consider them evil.

Please do it! Actually I know where you could get the titan. Mynnna is sooooooooo much more rich than me, he'd gladly donate you one.
Alternatively, he could explain you why is it an extraordinary dumb idea. If he doesn't bother to answer to a lowly grunt like yourself, come back in a few days and I explain you.

Oh wait, ignore him! Just offer your own titan!



I'll ask Mynnna about it next time I get the chance. I doubt you'll believe me, but Goon director structure isn't so rigid that I'd get bollocked just for asking something. Lowly grunt though I may be.

I'd offer my own, but I don't have a titan (and I don't want one because space coffins suck).

To be perfectly honest Goblin, I'm half tempted to sponsor you in to GoonWaffe (no fee or security deposit), just so you can see what it's like. Once people get bored of awoxing you, I think you'd quite enjoy it.


Well, you know, if you were ~capable~ of feeling joy.

The 500 Million is a security deposit to ward off low-effort spies and awoxers, thank you very much.

You realise that's a test, right? You can easily get into the CFC, but if you are dumb enough to hand over all of your isk and items to a "recruiter" while there's a massive red warning to never ever do that, then you aren't wanted (but your stuff is). It's a good way of showering newbies with isk while weeding out the idiots in recruitment. Believe it or not, a 30k coalition doesn't just pop up without recruitment.

And I know, the point you always harp on about is how "you can'" get into goonwaffe (the corp). Arguably though, you can, you just need to be an SA member for a while or be a new SA member with a reference. And that's because they are a special interest group. If you want to join the goonswarm (the alliance) as a non-SA member, there's corps of that too. If you want to join goonwaffe (the corp) but don't want to be an SA member, then you wouldn't fit in so you aren't welcome. it would be like trying to join a singing club but hating and not wanting to sing. It's really simple stuff, but seeing how their rejection has caused you to explode so much you're obviously still pretty confused.

Wait wait wait wait

Fleecing people for virtual cash is "evil" but your idea for fleecing people for real-money (wrt your band-aid thread) is a good idea?

Hahahaha oh boy, you literally value virtual money more than real money.
