Originally by: CaptainGordon Edited by: CaptainGordon on 14/11/2007 02:01:15 Edited by: CaptainGordon on 13/11/2007 22:04:48 Goons are members of the Something Awful community. They are an extremely tight-knit group which has stood the test of time. The entire purpose of this community is to make fun of stupid people on the Internet and all the stupid cliches that are born from the Internet's worst parts.
That doesn't mean that goons are facist 100% of the time towards non-goons (further reffered to as "pubbies"), it merely means that goons do not place the same value and emphasis on "pubbie" values as other "pubbies" do.
Eve Online is the perfect example of such conflict, where the general public audience tends to take the game way too seriously. Such attitude provokes the majority of goon outbursts, since most of the goons don't believe into taking anything on the Internet seriously, especially the parts of it that deal with entertainment. Games are not meant to be taken seriously in real life, never mind the extent of fanaticism to which some games, like Eve or World of Warcraft has driven some people to. Such people deserve all the ridicule they get, since our entire community lives and breathes satire. Most of goon actions are motivated by a simple desire for this satire and comedy, in-game or out of it. The recent storm of horrible posts in CAOD is the perfect example of a huge joke, that went over the heads of the most "pubbies" here.
Before the Great Eve War, CAOD was dominated by a bunch of absolutely arrogant, power-tripping Band of Brothers posters who thought that wars are won with "kill/death ratios". They proceeded to use colorful phrases, like "industrial backbone" and "kill efficiency" to describe how they are utterly crushing their opposition, when in fact what was going on in the game was quite different compared to what was being posted here. The entire forum was their playground and virtually no one complained about that at the time. In fact, such ridiculous circle jerking was encouraged by the general "pubbie" population of CAOD. The very fact that the CAOD crowd is reacting very differently to the exact same trolling from goons now, abeit under a slightly different flavor, is the cause of much comedy among us. It is rare to see a community so hypocritical and so incredibly stuck up that they cant even take their own satire well.
We had a fantastic laugh at your expense, and we will continue to do so as long as you are going to provide us with this opportunity. This is the essence of what goons do in Eve - its so much fun to play this game because its absolutely packed with stupid people, who cause a lot of drama when the game doesn't go their way.
And we absolutely love it.
edit: warning - this thread may contain flashing lights and unfunny trolling
I guess you can look it it either way really.
Goons are saving everyone from caring too much about a game.
Goons are ruining a game that people here care about.
I guess it just depends who's side you're on.
Really I only hate you guys because I know you purposely exploit the game to get ahead in it, despite the fact that you have a bajillion members with which to win.
The "leaked" or whatever the **** it was eve-mail where your head honcho told everyone to hop in ibis's if they had to in order to crash the node.
You might think you're internet saviors, but I think most will agree that you are just ruining everyone else's fun by being do*che nozzles most, if not all of the time.
Whatever, you're right it is just a game. Still I don't think that should give goons, or anyone else, free license to ruin a game using varying levels of d*uchebaggitude as they see fit.

I find it funny that just about every SA poster seems to fail to realise that they are just as much of an internet tardhouse as everything else on the internet... Atleast they make fun of the people that deserves it, mostly atleast. And the OP behaves like a WOW Off-Topic Troll. *signature removed - please email us to find out why (include a link) - Jacques([email protected]) EVE is like the "Fisherman's Friend" of MMOs.

The "leaked" or whatever the **** it was eve-mail where your head honcho told everyone to hop in ibis's if they had to in order to crash the node made me ill. Not because I care that much about EvE mind you. Just because it bothers me that people could be such irreverent *****s.
I've never understood why people take pride in and enjoyment out of ruining someone elses game time. It's like blockers and spawn campers in your FPS of choice. Why? Just to **** someone else off.
That makes you a little kid in my book.

Please keep in mind before replying that I don't give a flying-neon-colored-f*ck about goonswarm or even this game in the grand scheme of things.

Yeah, but the undeniable fact is that Goons take this game just as seriously as most people who they claim to oppose. It's evident from the forums, it's evident from in-game, from your tactics, etc. Whether it is because this "fight the power" thing is ultimately hypocritical and just show or because they've grown to love the game too, I don't know. Anyway, being such a huge group, it is a bit difficult to talk about the lot of Goons in such broad sweeps.

I've always had a secret crush on you GoGo.
As you say, trying to categorize a broad group of people is a fight you cannot win. It's the same with goons in eve, it's the same with SA members. Some are complete jerks and revel in what they think is the height of comedy, some don't care and some do. It's why posts like CaptainGordon's or the spam threads are so pathetic but without some attempt at uniformity or way to unite such a mishmash of idiots, everything would just fall apart.

This reminds me of the crusades you guys did against CCP, trying to ruin its public image.
The times you offered people into your corp to gank there capital ships outside the station you promised to give them membership.
The law suits you received.

What you've done goes past the meaning of fun and boarders on being sedistic and demented.

I was actually stupid enough to join a goon corp for all of 2-3 hours once... I guess I should've really clicked when the CEO heard how old I was and kept saying "age doesn't mean anything to me".
Perhaps when you grow up, you'll realise how stupid you guys sound most of the time.
Idiocy is still idiocy even when "pubbies" don't create it.
