Where is all this bitterness towards the swarm coming from lately? I've seen dozens of great topics by goons get thrashed and trolled by some members of the community. Where is this coming from? Sure, a few goons have spammed this forum before, but what alliance doesn't have a few members who do the same? Dafuzz constantly fakeposts, Triumvirate has an entire thread on their titan being stolen thats nothing but spam fakeposting and it doesnt get closed. Yet threads with real content and discussions by goons seem to be getting closed by the dozens (the peace for christmas thread comes to mind).
The cause of the goons latest trend? Mittens gave the OK to stop fakeposting and start realposting. BoB is dying and we've accomplished what we set out to do. We really aren't the cancer of Eve that everyone believes we are. The actions of a few should not reflect on the many. You think goons pay their $15 to ruin a game that has given us so much fun? We care about the community and we care about you, even if we are pew pewing you in space.
If I had to guess I'd say that our enemies are terrified. Terrified that they can no longer take the moral high ground against us. Terrified that they were wrong. Terrified that it is indeed them that are the spammers, the cancer, the immoral. So they keep trying to troll our threads to get us to flame them. Hoping that they can justify their silly prejudices. Sorry, not going to work. **** just got real.
This thread is for discussion on this topic. Please stay on topic so I can try to understand this situation better. I'd like to think our enemies in game aren't as bitter as they appear. Posts that are spam or trolls (i.e. "goon thread not reading") aren't appreciated and I hope they get modded quickly.

We were made pariahs for not taking this game seriously enough, make up your minds. But I'd still have to disagree. We just want to have fun, thats why we let our image of us being terrible monsters go on for so long. It gave us plenty of good fights.

Originally by: CobraBytez While I agree with the idea of ending the "trolling spree" that many posters seem to be engaged in, I do take one issue with your post. Can we really call anyone in this game an "enemy?" I think you need to take a more positive attitude.
I mean enemy only in the context of in game. An entity that we battle with. I don't know much about their members in real life and I'm sure they are pretty swell. Sorry for the confusion.

There is no such thing as a good fight, sir.
If both sides willing go into it and no harm is done I think there can be good fights. Both sides should respect each other though, and when one wants it to stop they should respect that as well. No means no.

its a game, godamnit. people are so damn serious over it.
Definitely this. Just because you don't like us in game doesn't give people the right to spam or threads or treat us harshly. If we've done anything to upset some of you I'd like to clear it up. I'm sure we can work it out then go have a pint :)

Stop posting.
Personal Vendetta is a good name for your corporation. Can't we just leave that stuff in game and be polite on this forum? CCP made this place for the community and all you are doing is tearing the community apart.

Originally by: Orar Ironfist Lol most of the EVE community is bitter towards goonswarm not usually by the way you act in certain respects: Scamming people with recruitment-Yes those people are amazingly stupid and are practically askin to have it done to em but you shouldnt do it anyway its just wrong Acting like ***hats most of the time on the forums-Ya other people can be accused of it too but its mainly you guys
(This is not meant to be flame or trollin )
The majority of goonswarm does not scam and generally looks down upon it. The only reason they aren't booted from the swarm is that we try our best to help the scammers see the error of their ways. Hate the sin not the sinner.

Originally by: Master Technique I kind of surprised that you don't get why people are responding this way. You guys are doosh bags on the forums for a year or so, and now you are being overly and blatantly polite and decent. Its like the girl who cried wolf, except its more like the girl who cried "im not an ******* anymore". Of course no one believes you.
I'm pretty sure as soon as someone takes you seriously you will all go "omg lulz he thought we were really being nice, what an r-tard, we are such cool internet kids". I know you don't learn much about sociology over on the SA forums, but this is how it goes. You're going to have to try a lot harder than this to get anyone to believe you or respect you on these forums than wishing everyone happy holidays for a few days and acting hurt.
This post is a little harsh but constructive. Thank you. If you ever get the chance to actually examine the SA forums most of them are typically polite and trolling isn't tolerated. FYAD, the subforum of SA, is where some of our humor and confusion about us comes from. There you post like "r-tard dooshs" and fakepost things you don't really mean. It's a way to relax I guess, and it's unfortunate that a few of us have brought that to this forum without explaining themselves as it's led to this misunderstanding. Please understand that we really are friendly people.

Originally by: Locus Bey What a load of doggie doo! Do you really think anyone believes this current spate of spamming CAOD with "We Bog Snorklers are actually good guys," is believed by anyone? As Bog Snorklers your only desire is to spam the forums with as much drivel as you possibly can.
Please keep the hate and aggression in game please. Trolling is not appreciated.

Originally by: Ungdall I feel this topic could use an orientation check, and in such a state of mind, I ask, what do we intend behind the word "real"?
For me, the idea conveys the beliefs that our previous actions have all been committed behind a false facade, and that we have never truly allowed any group to know who we are. This makes sense, as new players coming to this wonderful game, we were scared of the cold and unfriendly political machinations that struck us blow and again with no provocation.
However, we feel we are now accepted as a part of the community, and with respect to this, we now open our hearts to the post-minded denizens of EVE and are ready to trade in open discourse with all of you. Our hearts of free from fear, and we need not hide our vulnerabilities.
This is a really good post and a must read for the eve community! Bravo!

Maitsu, this admonishment comes across as needlessly harsh to me. "Do not beat those who err for their wrong doings, instead stand them up to the path of light and pay for them to learn" -Brosefs 13:48 You do him no good, instead impeding his growth.
Locus Bey, instead of simply throwing out your anger to the wind, where you know not whom it will hit, instead reply with courtesy and dignity befitting a man of your stature. "Kindness expected but not returned, leads a man to the ruin of his heart" -Brosefs 13:35
Sometimes I get carried away. Speaking before I think. Thank you for pointing this out, I guess i wear my heart on my sleeve. I apologize Locus Bey.

Who's spamming? If you look at our posts, all of them are chocked full of content. Yours however, is just a mean spirited slander of an alliance that is trying to reconcile the actions of their past and become more open to the EVE community. I understand that you don't trust us, but please, give us time and I promise to you that we'll prove how friendly and open we can really be.
Your almost humourous with this current spate of BS. Mean spirited? Get your hand off it, you Bog Snorklers have no intention of reconciling your past, present or future actions. You expect me to believe you've all suddenly had an epiphany of conscience, all 5000 of you? It takes a complete pasting of CAOD to prove this, or rather humours you in your latest attempt at spam?
You do not fully understand my friend. All 5000 of us have not suddenly had an epiphany, we just realized that perhaps the actions of a few with fakeposting was misunderstood and viewed upon with ill intent.

Bull**** I'll really laugh if this current crap comes as a directive from your head Bog Snorkler. Either way even if you do stop spamming your usual garbage, you'll need to add the sanctimonious words of Brosef to your list of CAOD crap as well, otherwise you got no hope of pulling off this ruse
I'm afraid there is no reasoning with you and I'm sorry you are so short sighted on this issue, but I really must insist you stop using such harsh language. Theres no place for that in this forum, don't forget children play this game as well.

Originally by: Darklin Eldaris Edited by: Darklin Eldaris on 25/12/2007 01:37:35 Long answer: Goonswarm has ruined the forums with spam (purposely), they fall back on **** tactics to win the game and only a small core of your players are actually worth sh*t as pilots. My hate for goons started when the goonswarm alliance mail was leaked about shipping up to go blow up BoB's building titan ( epic fail, way to loose the most capitals ever in one engagement and not blow up anything of consequence guys ). In this mail a call for all pilots to get in a ship and to the system was made, the line that caught my attention was this: "Bring ibis's if you have to whatever it takes to lag out the system."
That my friend, is pure f*ggotry and game ruining lameness, and I personally will troll any thread by a GS member who is trying to act like he's got any position to ***** about ANYONE doing ANYTHING in this game. You guys are as low as it goes, and therefore should keep ur ****in yaps shut.
Short answer: Normally the phrase goes " The few have ruined it for the many, " however in Goonswarms case it is "The many have ruined it for the few."
If you don't want to be considered a total sh*t head super-fag c*ntw*t (new word) I know something you can do.
Leave Goonswarm.
That is an extremely angry post but it actually has a little bit of truth to it (about the many ruining it for the few)
im not reading it it's :words:

Anyone else remember when Goon posts used to be amusing? After the drivel they post on these forums day after day they don't even have the shock factor anymore.
Poor goons. Contributed little to the war that their big brothers have waged against BoB (yet try to claim all the credit), and aren't even running an effective forum war these days.
Maybe they can ask Santa for a sense of originality, or purpose? However, given their age group he's probably more likely to bring them some knee pads for their roller boots, a special plastic sheet for their bed, and a pair of Harry Potter pyjamas.
who are you anyways and why do you matter
