They think FozzieSov is some awesome buff to their playstyle that will enable them to take some of our space and make us miserable. Now it comes out that they will have to hold a grid for an entire hour to do anything, something they are completely incapable of.

They can't even hold a grid against Theta, much less the whole Goonmass.

This right here. Short of usurping The Big Man Himself, pretty much every single job position in our lurching space bureaucracy seems to actually be based on merit and commitment. Mittens routinely fires directors who have become inactive or useless, and promotes new blood. People newer to this game than me who are presently directors include Asher Elias, Blawrf McTaggart, Reagalan, and Ted McManfist, among others. Notably those guys were also all in Theta Squad during their early careers. Coincidence, or best squad? You decide.

As a counterpoint, if you are lazy, stupid, and unmotivated like me, this is still the place for you. Free noobie ships. A newbee never needs fear losing their precious space chariot. A home region filled with wise and bitter space Jews who LOVE to hear themselves talk and are just aching to find the next shobon newbee to warm their frigid hearts if even for a moment. A group for every possible activity in the game (except pubbie bullshit like mission running). A ship reimbursement program that makes every other alliance in the game oh so jelly. Seriously, it's ridiculous how fast that money flies into your pocket after filing your claim.

Lastly, bask in the warm glow of The Mittani's love. Seriously, it's great. Join us!

I'm in Theta, and it is a pretty loving embarrassing thing to have to try to explain to an outsider and not sound like a neo-nazi.

"So we chose JU-OWQ as our home system because, uh, well, our group is all about making money, and the name kinda sounds like Jew... and, well... I mean, you know... Jews, and, uh... money..."

Why are you ashamed of your Jewish heritage?

I'm sure Digi is running 24x7 surveillance IRL on this dangerous thought criminal.

I'm so goddamn mad I posted this improperly as a separate thread. I apologize to the mods for my retardation. But anyway...

I want to be mad at those faggots in FCON for loving up our fun this year, but I honestly think that there has to be more to it.

Excuse me while I don my tinfoil cap.

I bet it's related to the bullshit name change from Clusterfuck Coalition to Imperium. It's CLEARLY geared to make us more palatable to the gaming audience as a whole. Less dirty words in our group name, contracting our massive cockprint on the EVE universe, expeditions into other games (all with developer support), and now this. We are having our goonish culture neutered so that Mittens and Company can take his little Internet empire into the mainstream.

I'm sticking around only because of the Special Group That Shall Not Be Named. At least OUR culture remains pure and hostile to all pubbishness.
