Oh man, I bet the goons are shitting the bed now.
BTW thanks for posting, it was a refreshing read.

Can someone explain the relevancy of the Goons and Something Awful in general in this day and age?
I thought that stopped being a "thing" back in...like...2004 or something? Where it was all, "Oh noes! It's those pesky SA Goons stirring up trouble again! Hide your sensibilities and don your butthurt lotion!"
Isn't their whole schtick a little dated at this point? I kind of assumed SA had their day and people had moved on to other fun internet miscreant websites (4chan, etc.).

They're still heavily relevant in the Eve space and as Eve players cross over to Star Citizen, you'll see a lot of that mantra come as well. There are some other areas they are active in, but the most relevant to us will be Eve as that will likely result in the most SC players
So they're basically a gaggle of Eve griefers festooned with SA inside jokes? Sounds great. :rolleyes:

That is potentially a big problem, but so far the SC community has made it clear that they will not be very tolerant of the toxic environment of Eve.

Lets be the lighter darkness instead!
Then people need to grow some thicker skin. Eve was not and never has been a game where one could do what they wanted as in single player. Interaction happens regardless and not always in a good way. SC has enough safeguards in place(Slider, NPC pop etc) to let people play how they want for the most part until they go into unrestricted space.
I never found Eve toxic because I was with a corp of friends all the time. It was a lot of fun for me.
EVE was never terribly dangerous in highsec. Sure the Goons could hurt you some with Hulkageddeon or Burn Jita, but for the most part, if you stayed in highsec and didn't attract the attention of a griefer wardec, you could do as you pleased with out fear of harrassment from other players.
The trouble is, that for most srs bzns EVE players, empire space is the kiddie pool. All the real excitement happens in 0.0, and that is a PvP-oriented environment. Those guys are going to make their characters in PU, set a course for uncharted space, and never come back, but they'll still the bring the NBSI, kill-everything-that-moves mentality to the game. I don't mind it personally, but there's going to be a lot of whinging about their effect (real or otherwise) on the danger level of frontier space.
I joined Test because Eve taught me the value of a large, cohesive org. Either you dictate your style of gameplay, or get dictated to. We are going to have to figure out what works in CIG's sandbox and organize accordingly. If we do it right we will control enough space to sustain lots of pew pew pew.
Will we cross swords with the minions of Lowtax or ally with them? Goons can be implacable enemies, or they can be rightious allies.
