I'm not gonna lie, I'm kinda glad I missed whatever train wreck you guys had in the last few pages. Now let's put this thread back on the rails, and talk about coffee, our day jobs and post pictures of cats.
Also sorry to see you're bowing out DMC, I'll still like your posts when I see them.

The problem has resolved itself, thank god, because I'm pretty terrible with electronics (using them no problem, but I'm helpless when they break) and liking stuff on my phone was tricky.
Good thing I wasn't doing something dumb like playing eve online :V |

Stock up now and make loads of isk later. |

Hmm, looking through all the ships and I'm not quite sure what I want to fly around and eat ratters with. Maybe it's finally time to train that loki. |

Then I remembered what the majority of other players had posted which brought to mind this saying : Quote:GÇ£You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you canGÇÖt please all of the people all of the timeGÇ¥.
John Lydgate (c.1370-c.1451) - Luminarium Those famous words, later adapted by Abraham Lincoln, not only apply to life in general but also apply to this thread as well. So now the question is : What to do? Please some of the people all of the time or please all of the people some of the time? Or try to please everyone all the time? What about myself, were do I place in that saying? Sure it's important to make yourself happy but it shouldn't be at the expense of others, right?What about righting a wrong? Is it better to turn the other cheek and let it ride or exact eye for an eye since turnabout is fair play? Seems there's quite a few questions to ponder now. DMC I dunno, it's worked out pretty well for my alliance. But seriously, as cheesy as it might sound, just walk your own walk, don't worry about what others think about you, and let the haters throw whatever fit they want. I like to think it's not so much being selfish as it is staying true to oneself. |

It always sounds like fun, but it pretty much never ever happens.
Unrelated, I'm getting a little (read, really) annoyed over eve-o eating my posts and throwing up gank pages, so I'm gonna go fly off to tumblr or something. |

So my friend made me play metal gear rising revengeance today. I don't really play a lot of video games (I play like, 2. One of them being eve), cause... cause. Anyway, Hooooleeeeee crap, when did video games get this awesome? I'm gonna spend the rest of the night drawing cyborg ninjas.
Also...

Revengeance is ok..
Have you played Tomb Raider? the new one?
that is pretty awesome.
Sure haven't, or any of the old ones for that matter. I was being serious when I said I don't really play video games. |

Pepper Swift wrote:but.. eve is.... nevermind...
if you are interested.. skip all the old ones.. just go for the latest one ...tomb raider that is. Maybe I should explain, because I've played some popular titles, it's just I can really only commit myself to playing 2 at a time. That's all I really have the time for, and really, I just don't play them that often.
A college professor I had back in the day told me once, "I moderate my entertainment like I moderate my alcohol." It was part of a larger spiel about being productive, but that line really stuck with me.
So yes, I play games. A short list starting from things that I've most recently played,
Mercenary Kings <-currently playing alongside eve Dark Souls Batman Arkham City Binding of Isaac Saints Row the Third Saints Row 2 and... uh... That's all i remember playing in probably... the last two years or so. |

Thanks for the suggestions people.
ANYWAY, in more recent news, just saw a broadcast that we're apparently going to start renting space out to people. I am NOT happy about this. Not happy at all. |

I started writing a big long rage post to answer this, but I'm going to restrain myself.
We're starting renting because apparently taking an entire region for the purpose of making money (didn't really like that either) isn't good enough, we "need" more.
I'm unhappy because of a lot of reasons, but if I try and explain right now, it's going to turn into some dumb rant. Maybe I'll try later when I can better gather my thoughts, but for some perspective, I'm seriously considering jumping ship.
Anyway, from the knee-jerk reaction, other's aren't happy about it either. I'll be keeping an ear to the ground on this one. |

I think I'm going to ship all my stuff to Jita in preparation on my getting kicked out of goons. Either that or move stuff to npc null and get ready to **** them. I'm mad, lot's of people are mad, it's a tornado of mad on all the forums (except here at Eve-O, because we're too busy being mad at each other to post here). |

I didn't **** anyone off, our finance team pissed off half of the alliance. What caused this is the announcement that we're going to be renting out space. This might not seem like a big deal, but perhaps the only strand of e-Bushido goons have is that culturally, we despise renting. We've derided our enemies for doing it, it's literally something most of us hate to the core. The reason we invaded Fountain was so that we wouldn't have to do this. And then we get the broadcast today "Hey guys, we're going to be setting up renter alliances! :
So I (and others) are vowing to do everything possible to sabotage this idea. Running renter scams (which we're now absolutely forbidden to do) and anything else we can do to kill the program before it gets off the ground. If it does get off the ground, you can expect us to not only awox the crap out of our own corp via the renter corps, but also openly run fleets through the renter areas and burn everything to ground.
So yea, unless the leadership turns the ship around and say "yea that was dumb, our bad," I don't see myself being in goons for very long.
If I may be melodramatic for a moment, people have always said that the only thing that can "kill goons" is a schism from within. Now I wouldn't put money on it, but you never know, this could be that divide. |

However, I think you should retract / remove your statement (Internal Grievances) due to the age old saying "Loose Lips Sink Ships". For something like that to work, I'm sure it's better to stay silent but deadly and work from the inside. Definitely don't need it traced back to your posted reply here in this thread. Besides that, kinda hard to work that plan if you're out. Good luck and remember to keep it ' In The Dark'. I think you know what I mean. DMC It's not much of a secret if we're already posting our plans right on both the SA forums and Goonfleet forums for all to see. The cat's out of the bag and clawing up all the furniture already. This is about being very vocal and public with our disapproval. There are no statues to shoot in nullsec, so we have to use our words. Sometimes the threat of violence alone is a deterrent. |

Sat in a stream for 6, almost 7 hours helping my friend draw stuff. Went to tumblr and saw one of the blogs I follow about architecture jumping off the deep end and talking about nipple jewelry. Friend calls up to tell me someone killed themselves in a police standoff about a block away from their house.
It's been a really long, weird day. |

Due to budget cuts at my company, I find myself in the awkward position of having a surprise day off tomorrow. Honestly I saw signs of the ship sinking a long time ago, but going full swing titanic mode so soon kind of caught me off guard.
Welp, guess it's time to update my resume and clean up my portfolio. |

Thanks guys.
@Makoto, looks like some hardcore downsizing, which is fine cause like I said, we could kinda see the writing on the wall.
It's honestly not THAT bad, and I don't expect having any sort of trouble. This kind of stuff really just comes with the territory, so I'm used to it. |

I work in the art industry, mostly doing contract work. It's pretty much the definition of unstable, but I absolutely love it. This particular instance was something that was supposed to be a bit more long term, but oh well. Like I said, these things happen, a lot.
I appreciate your help though. |
