EVE General Discussion

Hehehe - yup. I guess that's my way of saying "just wait till I get in a ship with guns grrrrr" I don't really care what happens to highsec (I recently upgraded to a jump freighter) but activity levels rising has crossed my mind, yes. If they reach a point where it's worth our time to wait for and blap all the -5s, that'd be hilarious! One might actually see whole corps developing around the idea of thwarting gankers without wasting their time.

Fun times ahead!

Posting about posting.

You should really work more, since I've really not spent much time in here at all. You should see me when I've got free time to burn in a thread.

There was a pretty good one posted on /r/eve today

Nah bud CCP has been far from impartial in this. It leaves a bad taste in one's mouth. That whole janitor thing is out the window for some reason and I don't know why.

Postingception

*nip*

Ironically the World War Bee name would become accurate if we congeal into a giant alliance.

First, why would they not communicate on reddit, it has 60K subs, and there are 500-1K+ active users (more frequency now due to war) at pretty much all times of the day it is a fairly popular and active sub...the devs would be stupid not to frequent a popular sub, on a popular website, for a game they made.

Secondly, I read reddit a lot, and I stay on "new" I can tell you 100% that pro-CFC stuff is just not being posted there are two reasons for this I think.

1) Prior to the kickstarter, CFC had decent reddit presence, and their submissions were tolerated in terms of "dankness" or "spiciness", sure there was Grr Goon threads etc, but were talking the EVE O quality "Goons are bad and I hate them". Whatever right. After the kickstarter is when things changed. Mittani and Sion were actively trying to get vote brigade thing going to boost their kickstarter awareness. This didn't sit well with Reddit, (because that is how Reddit works)

Mittani, viewed this as a direct personal attack, and developed this **** Reddit attitude, saying **** like Reddit isn't an EVE community. So of course, this only got your average redditor more encouraged to **** him off. Which they doubled down on with Sion quit from CSM, this is where the CCP ****** us because Reddit came from. Obviously at this point the "not a real community" of Reddit went pretty Anti-Bee, because it drove Mittani nuts, and made Sion look dumb....it didn't help when old goons like Endie, Blwarf and DJ posted anti goon threads either.

2) The war has not been remotely good for CFC, you can spin cycle it however you want to justify reasoning, But it has not been good. It is clearly obvious CFC is broken, the non-GSF members are all bleeding players/corps. Every region held a month ago is essentially lost at this point. So really what do Goons have to cheer for? They fly around in Inties and watch their space burn from low sec. That can hardly be fun, or entertaining for the majority. It is demoralizing, so what do they have to celebrate on reddit.

Prior to the "real" war CFC had good presence, when they brawled Tishu and Horde in Fade, Content Ring, CO2/Lawn/Bastion in the other theatre. There was lots of good posting over good fights, by both sides. But now, after the fastest collapse in EVE history...I just don't think Goons post anymore because they have nothing to cheer for.



In regards to a forum section, there is one. CAOD. No one posts there because

1) ISD's over moderate, and EVE Players in heat (of war) sperge pretty hard.
2) The forum eats posts all the time, it is frustrating as **** to type **** out hit post and watch it disappear.

So I don't see it getting used even if one was created, because frankly...these forums actually do suck.

oh and you can swear on reddit too...*********** < makes conversation poop

Because it's insanely biased and filled with ex-bittervets.

The third reason you are missing is that if someone comments and it's pro-goon, it's generally downvoted. There's no point in players even attempting to join reddit from the Imperium side since someone will say "Hey we're going to crush goons" +50 karma, then a new goon replies "We'll fight you to the end" -20 karma, posts now invisible. I gave reddit a fair crack seeing that CCP decided it's a better place than their official forums to talk about game mechanics, but there's just no point unless you're only interested in following the popular opinion and have the sense of humour of a 12 year old.

1. Don't sperg, behave like an adult and you won't get moderated.
2. As a regular forum warrior I know that's not as common as you make it sound, maybe once a day. Sure it could use some work, but thankfully it remembers posts anyway.

Also there's benefits:
1. It's unbiased (ish)
2. The worst of the attacks and unhealthy rage posts are filtered down
3. Posting is restricted to active, unbanned characters
4. Posts rise to the top based on activity positive or negative, rather than actively pushing popular opinions only
5. It's not reddit

CAOD isn't really the place though, they really need a war forum with rules set up to allow players to discuss active wars, share propaganda, etc.

Golly gosh, you won me over. I can't possibly imagine posting without swearing.

I outrank you. Back in your box before I'm forced to Widot you.
