For fun? What with this being a game and everything.

But there's nothing fun about it — it would be a never-ending horrible slog.

That's pretty much the trade description for MMOs right there Big smile

Seriously though, why not start a war for no other reason than the sheer enjoyment of it? No alliance is so great it can't be defeated.

This is a sandbox. Log in and make things happen.

1) How does Goonswarm maintain influential control over the entire game?

- Bees

2) What drives them to destroy the game?

- Bees

3) Why are they unstoppable?

- Bees

4) Why can't all the powerful alliances team up and end Goonswarm once and for all?

- Bees

5) How does one kill a Goon?

- More Bees

Another boo hoo thread from a random guy.

This post was lovingly crafted by a member of the Goonwaffe Posting Cabal, proud member of the popular gay hookup site somethingawful.com, Spelling Bee, Grammar Gestapo & #1 Official Gevlon Goblin Fanclub member.

I do find it interesting that this thread is still open, given the somewhat tenuous reasons the moderators have used so many times to close other threads.

It is quite telling.

Because nullsec wars aren't particularly enjoyable under the current mechanics. vOv

It's telling me that I should have bought stock in Reynolds when I started playing Eve.

You are correct, it is quite telling. What it tells me is that if you insult most people, the thread gets closed, yet if you start up a threat to attack members of goonswarm, calling them racists and the like, it gets left open. Clearly the moderators are all anti-CFC. Thank you for pointing this out Dinsdale.

How do you beat goons? Same way they beat everyone else; get them to stop logging in.

Eve-O is 50% morale, 33% OOG services (includes spreadsheets), 10% pew, and 7% forum warrioring. (Percentages may vary.)

Ever since I've heard of EVE, the most terrifying tale is that of Goonswarm.
After looking up their history, they had two Great Wars with an alliance called Band of Brothers, which was defeated. After that, CFC was born.
They seem to have their roots in the Something Awful forums. I've paid a visit there and no post seems to make sense. All their content seems to be primarily composed of stupidity, racism and homophobia. Their fleet is also made out of reckless players that have no moral qualities whatsoever.

So essentially you're saying Goons have tons of fun and you would give anything to join them?

CCP created them by doing two things.

1) Created a way to have unlimited people blue
2) Are unable to deliver a node capable of hosting x2 that many numbers

So, yah, we can kill goonswarm by blobbing them back for the entire 7 days it'll take for them to die off on paper, but in the game, we get Tidi before we're even 110th of the way there.

So, they live on and we just shake our heads at CCP and their sandbox.

There are good ships,

And wood ships,

And ships that sail the sea

But the best ships are Spaceships

Wait...did you just claim that TiDi is to blame for you not being able to elitepvp us back into highsec?

1,3,4. A combination of what's in my sig and the ultimate lust for money.

2. What player doesn't wish to exploit the game mechanics to their advantage?

5. Goons are like Hydra, cut off one head, two more take its place.

CODE is just a bunch of pirates; smart, organized pirates. It doesn't help to rage at them because that is exactly what they want. Dust yourself off and get back on your feet, you don't even have to talk to them.

Where'd you get the idea they're better than that? You said you saw the website. Does "SA" mean anything to you?
How about (if it's still there) that nice comment about their founder in the upper left hand corner of the homepage?

Goons maintain what hold they have by myth, and brutally ganging up on people. (That's the "swarm" part.) They're not unbeatable. It's just that no one's gotten around to it yet. One of the reasons they didn't claim a significant part of space after the BoB incident is, they didn't do that alone. Alone, they aren't THAT big.

For some reason, about 80% of the time when someone types out Goonwaffe, my brain reads it as Giraffe.
