EVE General Discussion

We'll be all around Fountain. In, around, and in between. Here, There, and Everywhere. -Sung by The Beatles, Sun Tzu, and your psycho ex-girlfriend

Highsec newcomers, a quick briefing if you haven't been following:
-Get in an affordable ship. Fit a cloak if you like. Cloaks are good for extended behind the lines operations, but not essential for more experienced people.
-Set destination for VFK_IV. Check your map for recent pod kills. If you see a glowing camp spot, consider your options. Decide whether to chance it or let them sit there bored. If you don't like the current scene, relax. Run a mission, do your exploration, whatever you're working on. Fit up your stable of reserve ships, take a smoke break, whatever. Come back and check your map again when you're ready. You'll see where some bored campers said, "Err, got to go, bye guys good luck."
-Plot your route. Remember your objective is to get past the highsec-nullsec border systems and get deeper into Goon systems. Any Goon system will work. Get there, throw down your sleeping bag, and plan on living there for awhile. Now you're in the bush and ready to go in any direction.
-Hang out in SpaceJunkys chat channel. Join up with other nature campers for combined shooting. Or tell jokes and post videos. Or just hang out and do your own thing, with your brethren.
-Watch out for lame spais in SpaceJunkys. No need to be paranoid-- you can spot them by the way they don't say anything, or are just all around bad actors. Again, no need to be overly suspicious. We know who's who.
-Pick off locals in Goon space. Say hello in Local first, if you like. They're mostly pretty friendly, some have pretty good b.s.. Send them to their reward in Goonvana, or see if they can manage to catch you and send you to 'Bear Mountain. If they do, suit up and do it again! That's what we do.
-Don't forget to entertain a Goon while you're at it. Damn they're bored.

Last note: Be in VFK before July 28 for the Goons Doomsday shoot-out event. They're looking forward to it at least as much as we are.

This does sound like high sec PVP.

Or is it the Fourth Generation Karma righteous asymmetric warfare of attrition paradigm Herzog has been talking about?

The boyz there have a bad habbit to use instalocking boats, you aware arent'ya Harry?

I would say a instacane can blap you before you can warp. Just for you to know.

I klnow you hate when i tell you you can't do something but:

You can't make a cloaky instacane with warp core stabilizers.

nice one Khergit, had a blast yesterday and setup a "Treasure Box" with one shell of my bullets in there :D goon slowley sneaked up on it to find the hidden goody, was so funny some really looked at it, just jettison one round or some other stuff and give the box a funny name :D nothing better then giving goons important things to do :) ...he was a cool guy though had a good laugh about it in local :D

awww, important goon number 5395 telling us he's doing important stuff, sweet...

That's the crux of the social and psychological dynamic at work. Bullies often sing a different tune when confronted by someone willing to stand up to them. It challenges their worldview and they don''t have the emotional capacity to understand why someone would question their activities. Cognitive dissonance is a foundational aspect of their ideology, and other types of emergent game play challenge their own narrow social views.

That's why they are bullies.
