Snippet of typical alliance banter:

[18:43:24] Lostility > JF leaving jita within 30 mins so last chance for couriers!!
[18:44:31] galrizian > can you go to rens 1st ?
[18:44:56] galrizian > i got a 120k m3 can that needs bringin down here

Why do people post these things in alliance chat where there are spies who can use this information to gank them? Is it me or is it just not the smartest place to be announcing your travel plans?

because being helpful in ally > paranoid fear of spais
This is my signature. There are many others like it, but this one is mine.  Without me, my signature is useless. Without my signature, I am useless

So being helpful justifies being dumb?

Because it's entirely possible that they're using an alt to do the hauling, and not the character they're in alliance chat with.

Because they're trying to be a good alliance mate.

Because not everyone is concerned about spies.

the likelihood of someone using an 'alliance chat spy' to find out where your jf duder is is not very high

It's called working as part of a team and being a good corpie/alliance member. Also out of corp/alliance alts are a thing, especially for hauling.

Judging by some of your posts recently, especially with regards to working with others, it's something you know nothing about Roll

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

Might be worth mentioning in alliance chat when your super is tackled tho. Unless they think you're a trolling berk and would rather hoe on the km than help.

If you're on a big alliance you're pretty dumb as a rule. So your point?

It's hard to get ganked when you jump from under cover of undocking invulnerability.

from having "chat intel" to having a Machariel bumper in system cloaked and prealigned to where you know the cyno alt will land and light, there's a long stretch.

it would be different if you know the JF will make a stop at a stationless system to cap up and do another jump.

However, posting it in GD compared to alliance chat is a much better idea. Reaches a much larger audience to comment on your travel plans....vRoll

Nah, he rung my "should be playing X-Afterbirth and salivating at the thought of Star Citizen" bell.

The someone has issues bell got broken the day I discovered the F&I forum.

Lies.

There's a reason your alliance is called "DOCKNESS.", you never undock.

Pretty small time to use a spy in an alliance to pinpoint mere freighter hauls. Too valuable an asset to use like that. So, stupidity would factor in all this somewhere...as it does everywhere.

Paradise is like where you are right now, only much, much better.

Many people use alts, especially in big alliances. Chances are, you will never see that character doing the hauling.

You not thinking about these things, does not make others stupid.

PS - Nice way to talk about your bros.
