Also, editing your posts after saying something stupid is a very quick way to make sure no one takes you remotely seriously.

Tipping what?

Y'know, there's a lot of people out there who'd look at a guy in a one-man corp, losing citadels in high-sec, and think 'who the hel is this mouthbreather?' There are. If you stick around, you'll probably even meet some of them. Me, I prefer to think you're a cute newbie who really has no idea what he's suggesting, and really doesn't get just how that kind of phrasing comes across. Your corp info says you're into 'contacts' and 'information' all across New Eden, so lemme put you in contact with some information:

As a member of the alliance directorate, I can categorically state that no, we do not pledge allegiance to the Blood Raiders. If we did, we'd have a really strange way of showing it, what with the roughly 2,000,000 Blood Raider ships we destroy in Delve every month.

Also, not everyone is as nice as I am, and if you take that tone with some of the folks around here, you might take a PIE to the face. Wait, no, lasers. PIE shoots lasers, not exploding pies. Mah bad. Also, deploying an Astrahus after only six months in space... not bad. Did you have help getting the money together, or just hard work?


I very much appreciate your quick response as a key representative of the Goonswarm Federation. The Blood Raiders are notified.

Again, they know. They've known for a long time now. I promise you, you don't need to notify any of Omir's little pissants that we've been killing them pretty much nonstop for months.

Also, I'm pretty sure they know.

Yes, that post is marked as edited, because I went back to quote myself. Just like this post is marked as edited because I went back to add this line and a few others which don't alter the meaning of my post at all. I'm also likely to keep editing all my posts now just because you seem to think it matters. :)

Goonswarm is an enemy of the Blood Raider Covenant in the same way that a guy in a bar is an enemy of pub fries, pretzels, and nachos. We think of unexploded Blood Raiders less as 'enemies' and more as 'bounties we haven't collected yet'. You do not need to relay any of that to anyone. They already know it. We've been slaughtering them in droves. If any of them haven't noticed, it's because they warped into a Bosonic Field Generator as it fired off, and died without having the time to notice.

It's always interesting to watch Goonswarm devote their attention here, following the riveting events of YC118. It must be impressive to be talking down to one-person organizations after getting thrown out of the North.

Not as impressive as it is to watch people trying to make hay on events that, as I've stated, were actually pretty beneficial on the whole, in our estimation.

And for the record, Binky, if you think I was talking down to AEther Galatia, you clearly need to take time to educate yourself on just exactly what it looks like when I start talking down to people. I'll give you some time to go looking through the posting history, or you can just stay here and wait for your brain to develop enough to get the difference between explaining a situation to someone who seems to be fairly inexperienced, and being condescending to a mouthbreathing idiot.

(Hint: That was it there. Go ahead. Read it again. Take your time, I know some of the words had more than three letters in them. Sound them out slowly.)

But don't you worry your pretty little head about what's 'impressive', or even about whether or not impressive was the word you wanted to be using there, since on the whole, I think you were more looking for something conveying an impression of the person doing the speaking, not the observer. Then again, apparently unlike yourself, I'm at least capable of recognizing which adjectives should be used where, and which carry connotations of being attached to the subject of a sentence, and which pertain more to the object of the sentence. Maybe you should've tried 'satisfying', or 'gratifying', or 'it must feel really good'.

(Additional Hint: That was more condescension. So is this.)

Nor, it should be noted, is my activity here in any way some new development that only took place after the events of last year.

Shame. I thought MC at least required a working brain.

That was nice and all, but thinking about Saranen ended up making me chuckle a bit. Now, that was gratifying.

They know. I promise you that the trillions of people living in Delve who have been fighting a war against the invaders there for months do not need you to mail them to let them know. That would be akin to telling the corpses at the bottom of the sea that it is raining.

Well there is a difference between battling and warring. The Goonswarm have been "battling" the Blood Raiders. Simple squabbles between the two, much like sparring in a ring due to the necessity of the complexities of New Eden. Everyone is at war with everyone (practically) in New Eden and to completely avoid any and all blood shed of another group is basically impossible. However, and this is what I meant by "tipping point", eventually if a group takes things too far with their "squabbles" things elevate to the next level. Warring. It was my job, as someone with "connections" to the Blood Raiders as mentioned in my corporation description, to determine where we stood. Battling or warring.

No, we've been farming the Blood Raiders. Like threshing grain. You don't 'battle' the grain. You're not 'at war' with the grain. You simply go out and mow it all down with the large industrial reaper-thresher and there is nothing the grain can do to stop it.

What do you mean by "we" Mr Galatia when you ask about if Goonswarm are warring against the Blooders or not? Is it correct to assume that by that and your reference to connections, you are a Gallentean offshoot of the Blood Raiders? Before I add you to the list of Sani scum I'd like clarification there, without any backpedalling or post edits if possible.

As it so happens I have connections at boht Goonswarm and the Blood Raiders. You may take me seriously if you like or insult me if you like. This is the fact of the matter. When two groups I care about very much start blowing each other up it becomes a real problem because both groups are immensely powerful. However, I have blood related family in the Blood Raiders so my allegiance, at the end of the day, is with them. What this means is that I expect there to be inter-feuding between the two groups as they attempt to weed out the bad weeds in Goodswarm who have wrongly attacked a highly valuable Sotiyo they should have been protecting.

You do realize trying to weed out the 'bad weeds' of the goons would basically leave them with a three-man corp or so, yeah? I'm sure they're shaking in their boots though.

Thanks for insulting a group I really care about *sarcasm*. There are MANY highly intelligent and extremely good cat herders in Goonswarm and there's a LOT to be said for that. Tell me if you learn to heard cats, you could take over the world with that skill. And yes, Blood Raiders are a formidable force and basically destroy anything they desire dead, so they'll be shaking.

You're welcome. For an encore, I could spend a few pages laying out exactly how pathetic both Blooders and their assorted capsuleer offerings are but after their prize Sotiyo got utterly annihilated by tech one frigates it'd be kind of superfluous.

Out of two groups of hurr, you hitched your wagon to the one with the most durr.
