I joined SA after I joined goons. I was "recruited" from in game, and I joined SA of my own free will when I saw the art forums. No one asked me to join or ever told me to join.


You mean https://wiki.goonfleet.com/Joining_GoonWaffe is a scam ?


He could have been sponsored in.

Hey, Prencleeve, grab your mom's credit card and give Lowtax another ten bucks because gee whiz the MMO HMO has gotten dull lately.

CCP mostly sucks at their job, but Veritas is a pretty cool dude.

Typical example of reddit posting standards.

99% of posts on reddit are exactly like this.

Once every couple of days on reddit? That's all you need to get into dreddit. Somehow you managed to be worse than that?

You are complaining about the two biggest ******* alliances being assholes. Why would you even want to join them anyway? They can do whatever they want with their recruiting. If they are using stupid rules and methods for their recruiting then that just goes to show how just how stupid they are.

Stupid is as stupid does.

Now with that understood are you proud to be affiliated with them through those forums?

Ok renter with funny names.

Ok Goon pet.

You need to learn what a "renter" is. Hint: It's somebody that pays rent.

At least I am not afraid to reveal my alliance and corp, unlike some people. That and my name doesn't sound like the sound made when someone sneezes...

I think that EVE would be much better if we could all just get along.

I'll use my own. I think it is against something awful rules though..

yeah it probably would, especially if we'd all just stop doing silly things like posting the names of other players' parents

To be fair, he put it in his signature.

It's like finding a guy who complains he's always being punched in the nuts, but then finding out he's taken the time to design a poster board made of a collage of photos that reads "Please can you hit me in the nuts"

ok.. serious post time.


The rejectionist culture you speak of is something I have also noticed. As an aspie I often find myself at odds with people who have stupid methods or ideas. This does not mean I am unable to tolerate and "blend in" to various cultures both online and in the real world. The truly interesting fact is that out of all the cultures I have encountered the only one that I am quite literally unable to emulate or blend in too is that of SA/Goons.

The concept of harsh rejection-ism is not alien to me however the level of intensity and consistency of it within the SA community is beyond my ability to fathom. They want to perpetuate this image that they are "hip" and "cool" while they are really just a bunch of people themselves. They are essentially hipsters but far more intelligent and culturally sophisticated.

The truth is that cultures like SA and goonswarm simply cannot survive in the real world as a legitimate culture without at least some level of compromise. For the SA forums that level of compromise is the strict forum rules that hold everything about their culture in place and prevent it from rotting in its own smug grandiosity. No such level of compromise exists in the eve universe and as such goons that would normally keep their bad posting to FYAD or OIFY simply bad post when ever they feel like it on the eve forums.

I can't see how putting Xenuria and an adolescent in the same room with each other will end well.

hey prencleeve i realize that i'm basically just reiterating what you have been told so many times by now but this is v. serious:

you have been at this little game for over a year now. consider that: over a year's worth of your free time (which is a lot of free time) dedicated to a fight that you cannot win and for a dumb cause

consider what other people your age are doing, probably playing games outside while gaining an understanding of social cues, acceptable behavior, boundaries, etc. which are useful things to understand considering that, you know, people your age are doing things like dating semi-seriously, and later on those things will help you when you have a real job

again, what have you been doing while your schoolmates are doing these things? throwing away your free time for the sake of a fight you will never win.

think 'bout that for a while and then consider the whole "spend the rest of this wednesday afternoon gaining nothing" thing
