I hear that Star Trek Online is pretty bad... they'll probably destroy that game. I wish them well in that endeavour!
Apart from that, they're a blobfest-loving bunch of lag-inducing ******s, like most of the other fat alliances. May their implosion serve as a lesson. ____________________

Honestly, taking a stereotype and applying it to every citizen of a country is vastly more ignorant than what you are trying to describe.
If you honestly think that the average US citizen is war-hungry, stupid, overweight, and ignorant of culture you are sadly mistaken.

Edited by: Ranger 1 on 04/02/2010 15:50:34 Actually many Goons have always had difficulty separating the game from reality (ironically enough), even though they insist that their culture is based the opposite way.
The line that many find difficult to find is the one where they overstep being obnoxious in game and extend that into reality. This ends up with them purposefully insulting people on a very personal level.
Your husband just died? Well, let me insult and ridicule him. How could that possibly upset you? I'm doing it in a game so it doesn't matter right?
You have a 4 year old daughter at home? Let me make lewd suggestive comments about her that would make a pedophile blush. If that upsets you, you're just taking this game too seriously.
... and other such nonsense.
You'll hear the tired meme from many people that the Goons love to say and do things that they wouldn't dare do outside an internet game. Unfortunately, in this case that tired old line is very, very true and the Goons know full well that anyone pointing this out makes the person saying it look like they are trying to be the archtypical "internet tough guy".
I could care less what they say or do in game. However I've been around a little too long to fall for the Goon cultures premise that anything they say or do in this game has (or should have) absolutely no effect on the people on the other side of the screen. That is no more than an adolescent justification for what is often hateful and cruel behavior. Most will grow out of this eventually, when they finally figure out that thier leadership actually has a worse opinion of the Goon membership base than they do of the rest of the online gaming community.
I myself don't hate the Goons. To me they are pretty much a non-entity, as I find people that have no class are not worth my time.

When you go to another country which uses the metric system, do you keep telling people that "metric is hard"?
When faced with the possibility that you might be wrong, do you resort to "I'm American!" as the trump card in any argument?
Don't worry, you're not the ugly american.
Is it bad that I've done these things quite frequently while being abroad? Is it worse that I'm not ashamed of it at all?

The problem with the USA is, they realy belive to better then other countrys and that they have to bring there go(o)dness to everyone else. With this arogant and radical (and wrong) behavior, they bring war to (mostly poor) countrys. The last 2 to 5 wars where the USA invaded other countrys are either just for Oil or with false arguments where the US-goverment LIE.
With this, I do fear the USA much more then any binLaden. While islamists are bad and do terrible thinks, the USA do EXACT the same ... they just don't use one man suizid bomber but send a HOLE ****ING ARMY with tanks, warships and selthbombers!!
Within all this wars, the USA killed more civilian then the german ****s while the WW2.

Ah ok, that's why you (the US) punished a hole country with millions of civilians for somethink a small (for sure bad group) did and since then TERRORICE them with with private outlaws like the Blackwater rambos.
The ironic part is, some of the terrorists from 11th had been US-guys learning how to fly in the US *g*. So why don't YOU just send your army to your own country?

PS: sorry, I forgot, you allready have them in your country where every idiot is allowed to have his own armory and is allowed to NBSI in his/hear house . That's why you have more dead childrens killed by other childrens with guns then any other country .
PPS: and my privacy >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> your paranoia That's why I never every will travel to this terrorist-land even if you offer me 10 trillion dollars.
You must be trolling because you can't be this stupid. There's a reason Bush left with a 23% approval rating. Gun laws are dictated by the states, I don't own a gun, and I'm in the Army. Ironic, huh?

Its bigger than just Eve, these people want to ruin on-line games in anyway they can.
Now, if you were having a game of squash and some of these idiots invaded the court you'd paid for and ran around and around disrupting your game, it would be unacceptable, but because its an internet game its all OK?
Ofc you can't take any direct action if its on the interwebz,, perhaps that's why its OK?

I can't help thinking about a long time ago, when the Goons were new, and were applauded for getting new players into the game and making the oldies pay attention by their mass little ship tactics.
Goes to show that everything changes, I guess.

Goons are Goons. Some people hate them, some people love them.
I made them my EVE-arch nemesis because I decided to. I know a couple of Goons RL, and they're not more immature or childish than other gamers; it's just the goon environment that encourages that kind of behaviour. There are other alliances that do the same, and I can't see why Goons would be worse (apart from them being the largest alliance in the game until a few days ago).
As for the people bashing the US in a thread about Goonswarm: GTFO of GD. You make us real Eurotrash look just as bad as a few percent of the morons on the other side make the US look back.

Best to keep RL out of EVE and avoid this problem all together. Besides, no one wants to hear about your RL problems when we're trying to take over an imaginary galaxy. Seriously, folks, if you have a 4-year-old, get them to macro mine for you. If a family member died, please stop playing a video game. ------ sig |

That doesn't apply to Goons in Eve with regards to Eve itself, and in any case most anything that in other games would be considered "griefing" is just normal game play here in Eve.
They're not all that different from other alliances in the game, except in that the players in the main corporation in the alliance are all from the same non-Eve internet community and have their own little internet sub culture and such. ----- 'In Eve, as in real life, if you are bored it's your own fault.' |

The thing about Goons is that they're irreverance incarnate. With them, nothing is sacred. It's not that they're evil -- they just prize a good laugh above all, and if trolling gets them that, that's what they'll do.
They don't take themselves seriously, and the key is to not take their irreverance too seriously...because really, does it honestly matter what some random neckbeards in a space game say about your mother (or whomever) before yelling ALLAH ALLAH AKBAR GOD IS GREAT just as they detonate their virtual spaceships near a busy Empire station?
They're just a bunch of goofballs.

There are many reasons.
For me it is they way that they **** all over anything they touch, and then get all nasty if you in any way tell them off. It like they are just little immature Americans who go where they are not wanted and throw a tantrum when you ask them to leave.
In fact all you douche bags that are brining up their RL countries and talking **** about the US is this and that... Wake up you morons.
You have no clue about Americans. All you know is what the media and governments tell you. They lie to you, they lie to us.... What else is new?
I swear a stack of ******s play this game... Then again a stack of ******s play every game. Even me.

On the US/EURO bashing derailment...
1: All politicians lie, regardless of nationality.
2: All media outlets are bias, most pretend not to be.
3: Most common citizens are cut from the same cloth, regardless of origin or religion. It is the person that is unusual, fanatical, prejudiced, or psychotic that is portrayed as the sterotype of a given countries population.

Locking thread. I believe the original poster's question has been answered and the conversation is going off topic. Please keep religious and political discussions off the EVE Forums as there are better places to have these conversations.
