How doth one pierce the ephemeral veil of trollingship? Verily, it is a fine mesh which lies betwixt goons and citizens . I myself have gazed into this chasm, and so wonder now on which side I rest. It is a perverse camaraderie that binds us all, regardless of our affiliation. Diogenes carried a lamp in the daytime, asking whether there be an honest man. Similarly, I walk with my rear end backwards and say PAAAAAARP.

Fun Fact: You can send someone a message/notice whenever you mention them.

This leads to fun things like talking to someone like Matilda2013 and including /u/Gryphon0468.

All it takes is one act of good will. A simple :tenbux: is all it takes to achieve your inner goon. But to become the best goon, you must study Lowtax's posting habits for years. If you are so lucky to not get doxxed, banned, or suffer from the serious illness known as death IRL, you may be able to accrue enough experience to reach that higher level of goon'ness. Gooninity?


I cannot become Goonking, but I will serve him eternally.

Finishing the game with everyone else's continues
He shitposts for attention, tried to get Lowtax to ban him for fleeting internet e-cred, uses hyperbole to justify creepy-stalking someone on the internet... Gryphon's pretty much a Goon by any metric you can place on the term. He might as well just butter up his pucker for when the CIG community bans him for keeping toxic company and gives him the ol' pointy probation for 10 years.

I'm looking forwards to the Reddit discussion about how he used to be a pretty cool guy till he started posting on SA and became a Goon.

They're a race of alien barbarians, with tusks and horns and bony spines, who fly ships covered in blades and spines, because when making starships the primary design consideration is how to make the ships look like their creators.

Which is why all the human ships are vaguely defined blobs with tons of hair-like tubes on one side. Although come to think of it hair-sized radiators would provide a ton of surface area for cooling. And when you have to dump a ton of heat and your radiators starts to glow you could call it "going ginger" and it would make no sense but sound awesome to people who are in on the joke.

"Stop firing Pusher! I can tell your ginger from here!"

"Shut up Maverick, don't tell me how to fly my ship! You know drat well I fly shorn! I can take it!"

I thought the only way to become a goon was to be called a goon by someone else.

A goon christening if you will.

Self-declaration as a goon was analagous to claiming you actually graduated with a degree; I.E. Sandi/Matlida.

I know what's wrong with me,
Its feature creep you see.
I was the target of a notion of some larceny.
Oh yeah they needed me, I was the project see.
They tried to stick a developer inside of me.

I Need no, Need no alibi.
Honestly I tell no lies,
They try to stick a programmer inside of me.
But I kept breaking free, they could no censor me.
I wrote long letters that were closer to savage see,

Bad, bad!
They tried to pick at my work history,

Bad bad!
Come again I tell no lies,

So now you understand I was a wonder man
The opposition and the bugging of a Florida man,
But ah no this I see, there's nothing wrong with me.
There's no million-dollar scammer inside of me

I Need no, Need no alibi.
Honestly, I tell no lies.

I just noticed in her resume that she's credited as "military pilot" in SQ42. Did we have this confirmed from somewhere else?

So, will she be our fellow student from the academy that we had some awkward crush on? Or is she the experienced pilot teaching us the ropes, through which our relationship develops into an awkward crush? Or is she our co-pilot, handling the ship while the plots forces us to the turrets or out in a hornet or whatever, slowly realizing our mutual awkward crush on each other?

So many possibilities my head is spinning
