Apparently in the long time that I was gone there was this alliance called TEST that people often mention. Who were they?

After we destroyed a gate camp there were some people typing in local::

"TEST is BEST"

So I asked my corp what it meant, and they told me that TEST was once a large alliance.

Some Reddit community or something, which not surprisingly eventually failscaded and are now on the rise again alongside Brave Newbies.

Test was a vision of a dream of a miracle of a genesis of an idea and a place and time that will remain special to us all.

TEST started as a corp of Reddit members.
Goons thought they were cute, decided to help them.
TEST became quite powerful.
Goons found out that TEST leadership was planning to backstab Goons.

Some stuff.
........
TEST dies.

Not in the top 10, you probably pay names in the top 10 to exist in 0.0

Didn't you read the fine print? It even asks you to ignore them.

TEST alliance is a founding member of BEST coalition alongside BRAVE (and formerly NEXUS who left). Hope that answers your query. Please do visit Sendaya someday.

I have removed some rule breaking posts and those quoting them.

The rules:
4. Personal attacks are prohibited.

Commonly known as flaming, personal attacks are posts that are designed to personally berate or insult another forum user. Posts of this nature are not beneficial to the community spirit that CCP promote and as such they will not be tolerated.

5. Trolling is prohibited.

Trolling is a defined as a post that is deliberately designed for the purpose of angering and insulting other players in an attempt to incite retaliation or an emotional response. Posts of this nature are disruptive, often abusive and do not contribute to the sense of community that CCP promote.

Basically we were batman, they were robin. Then robin pulled out a gun figuring they could be the new batman if they killed him and took the cape only we were wearing bulletproof armor and we beat the hell out of robin and now we hang out with batgirl but not the crippled one sally gordun or whatever but the hot silent one.

hope this helped.

I didn't know much about them, an enigma they've remained for me until even now. From what I gathered it was essentially a club for steadfast, politically correct cat lovers. The things which they hated the most were misogyny and fat-shaming.

Honestly prohibiting trolling on these forums means you should just shut them down.

Between that and the rumor mongering, that's about 95% of the posting.

It's almost like ISD Ezwal is asking to be trolled for that comment.

Test was an alliance that made possible for everyone and their dog that famous said of: green kill boards for all. Now brave newbies are going to replace them. Poor lost souls still think that one plays eve for fun, it doesn't matter if you die. They will eventually learn.

TEST was an Alliance, Please Ignore.




Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

The OP may as well have asked, "Who was BoB and how did they fall?" There would be the ascension (using the word loosely) of Goonwaffle, invention of TEST Alliance, Please Ignore, along with a handful of other one-hit wonders of the time. The last chapter would then be "How Did All The Rentals Appear?" Just before that chapter we could sing "Where Have All The Russians Gone?" The story has all the drama of plate tectonics, including two notable earthquakes complete with tsunamis.

We must accommodate the idiocracy.
