Is the OP a Goon by any chance? Do they have an internal competition for the most creative "kill all gewns" thread?

Or are there really so many sad guys running around in this game?

Heh heh heh ...

Why of course not ~

Several years back, I had a federal government job in the States. I worked on a naval weapons station that had an alligator problem- they would occasionally wander out of the swamp and into the housing areas. Most weren't an issue, but there was one that was absolutely huge, and terrified everyone, even though he was as peaceful as could be. Seriously, the worst thing he ever did was block traffic for two hours because he got his head stuck under a guardrail trying to cross the road.

Anyhow, the station staff enlist some animal control and wildlife specialist folks to move this particular gator to the far side of the weapons station, because he's so scary lookin. So they track him tranq him, and get rid of him. What they didn't understand is that gator populations always have a top dog. He grows bigger than the rest because he consumes more- not because he's an abnormal occurrence. Sure enough, a year later, there's another gator the size of the old one, only this one is violent in the housing areas and starts taking out pets. They had to kill that one.

And they're still having to kill gators there, one at a time, as they get big enough to be truly dangerous to anyone but idiots. If they'd understood the dynamics of the thing they were messing with, they might have realized there wasn't much they could do about there always being one gator bigger than the others out there in the swamp. And they might have left it alone, realizing that the big gator they had to deal with right then wasn't nearly as bad as it could be.

Story time over- this post is completely unrelated to the thread.

I think you'll find that a huge amount of the publicity this game gets is because of how amazing we are, wars make our numbers swell so I very much welcome such an idea.

I think the OP should start a magnificent alliance that will make me tremble, I enjoy getting blown up.

That's true. If you get rid of Goons, you'll just get something similar. And worse, because with less IQ, less style, more smack talk, more asshattery.

That said, I'm always for the little guy taking on the 900 lb. ape. Count me in on Million Bear March, Occupy Goons, whatever you want to call it.

Goons are not especially bad for EVE.

Personally I don't care, because they will never threaten my gameplay.

So, meh.

If someone will just walk through that door.

I'll walk through that door! Now can anyone tell me what this pee vee pee thing is all about?

Actually there is nothing wrong with the Goons. They organise events and activities such as Burn Jita and Hulkageddon. I may be rather new, but I can't name a single event organised by another alliance than the CFC that is being discussed as passionately as those two, and that's by both the pirates AND the industrialists.

And what would this game be without a common enemy to curse at. Whether it'll ever come to a standoff, I seriously doubt though.

Yes, because Goons are the problem.

NOt the fact that most of you live in HS and base your assumption of nullsec corps on what you read on EN24 and the EVE-O forums.

You guys didn't leave Providence because you wanted to, you left because you weren't given a choice. Now you are part of a bigger blob and on that note, Goons will never be gone, just replaced. Like they replaced NC, Like NC replaced BoB.

Because it works.

To say the likelihood is low is being gracious.


True.

It would be fair to say the chance is so low it may as well be 0.


You could say it's null.

Actually, I was never in providence, if you look at this toon's history. I am a remnant of BLM leaving Cloud Ring.

I understand and support your position though. People act like goons are the devil solely on the information they get fed on EN24 (an anti-CFC propaganda site if I ever saw one) and the EVE-O forums (filled with highsecers mad that they play a sandbox and arent truly safe in highsec)

also, before BoB was Goons too. Goons - BoB -> NC -> Goons again..

FC, what do?

Any moment now, someone will "figure out" that SirMolle actually.... yes, he was a goon.

If you're not a Goon you're an alt of a Goon, is that the way it works this month? or are we still on NPC alts being alts of alts of Goons?

They never do things by half though, when they fail they usually do so in a manner to cause much hilarity, when they back or organise events, much hilarity is had by the willing participants, not so much the unwilling.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

No that is how the Great Chribba defeats his enemies in this glorious Veldnaught followed by the fleet of mining Titans, and a billion angry miners under his command in Hulk formation.

Guys I think you misunderstand abit here, I'm not against Goons or PvP at all... infact they are good for my business ... without PvP I would not make money right ? so I'm all for PvP, I am just against low-sec and 0.0 people bashing us who does not move into 0.0 and is happy being in high-sec.

I AGREE!

Goons are the bane of EvE! They are evil, nasty, sub-human, griefers. They make my life and the life of everyone in EVE a living hell! They have no morals or common decency; they are greedy and they are bending CCP to their unbearable will. Their leader is an evil tyrant who is a scourge upon this game! In real life they are all evil evil nasty people and deserve to be punished for their numerous evil crimes.

And er........I think I saw one once.
