Wait, we're doing that? why?

The whole point of an altcorp is to do your dirt in highsec without worrying about wardecs. Putting all the altcorps in an easily identifiable and wardeccable alliance defeats the point entirely

just give it the stupidest loving name possible because nobody with two brain cells is actually going to join it unless they're forced to do so

I think it's something to do with hacking, like only the alliance that owns the node can hack it so in order to help our allies, the sov will be owned by this alt corp? Or something I might be confusing it with something else I have no understanding of how sov works

Lying to your line members in order to get them to form sounds like a fantastic way to wreck your fleet numbers over the long term. I vaguely recall some sort of cautionary tale about where someone lied about something repeatedly and then in the end noone believed him and it ended up going badly for him

I get being frustrated with Mittens, goon decisions, whatever. Mittens has many bad aspects about him and his eat my rear end poo poo was a major part of why I eventually left the Imperium. But still... walking away with everyone's isk is pretty poo poo no matter how you spin it.

I'm still struggling to wrap my head around what the gently caress has actually happened. That Yogizh is being a unfunny moron ITT is not news sadly because that is entirely consistent with everything he does.

It's disappointing to hear that leadership didn't take the time to understand what was going on in a case of sexual harassment, I'd really like someone to fill in the blanks there, was it a "we don't beleive you and we're booting you for complaining" thing? Or a "drama has been caused so we're kicking everyone as if it was to do with ratting" thing? Neither of these are good, mark you but noone seems to know what actually happened.

Is FNLN's goon handle Visavis Qed? because if so I find the timing of all this quite suspicious. I've noticed him spending the last 2-3 days whining and making effort posts about how the market is going under and ranting in elysium that EVE is dead etc etc we should all just stop playing. Regardless of the truth of that, as soon as I saw that he was managing an investment fund I thought to myself "this sounds an awful lot like an exit scam". Noone was particularly biting on his claims and to log on today and find out that he's suddenly gone "gently caress goons, this is the last time i support you for what you did 13 years ago" seems a bit weird.

FNLN did you lose all the investment money?

Its the latter. People (mostly Deltas) are kicking a fuss because it's the third instance this year of Directorate having poor response and communication in these situations.

We are not posting specific details for privacy reasons, the aggrieved parties from these incidents can do so if they wish.

To be clear: No one here is maliciously starting poo poo. We want GSF to be a better organization for all who join it, and because most of us aren't space important, and this isn't a space democracy, poo poo talking directors so they start paying attention is the only button we have to push, even if it means getting airlocked.

Makes sense, thanks! Both for doing that and explaining

I don't think shutting off corp mails was some sort of coverup, really. it was only the one person that was an issue and that was months ago, the rest of them have just been about poop and farts.

I also don't think you should be saying people are pedophiles without some sort of proof or context beyond "just seems like it could be a thing".

So if I may ask a practical question at this point- as an Imperium member what can I do to help? I know the answer "quit eve" is being typed into keyboards as this is read but let's assume that I'm far-gone enough that I still enjoy playing a dumb space game for idiots and would prefer to keep doing it for the time being.

I guess I should add that I am extremely space unimportant with no investments or assets that the alliance would miss. I'm very happy to speak up, and would love to join up with the people who feel the same way to try and make sure that shitwits and creeps can't hide in the shadows. Is that group delta sqad? I'm having a difficult time working out who is ingame and who is out of it.

I also feel I should point out for the sake of fairness that I have seen multiple people get booted in the last 6 months for being some variation of twat or another. I have no idea why it took so long for this particular one to get the boot and that's why I'm so curious to know what happened to "the process".

The picture some of you have painted of "the old days" does sound a far cry from Elysium and the general vibe of the alliance for the past however many months i've been back.

He's the leader of INIT apparently not, I don't know what he is then - either way I've no idea why he's suddenly been brought up since nothing I've seen or heard suggests he's a bad person. You guys posted the twitter link, why don't you scroll down and read some of his tweets if you want to find out about him?

The useful discussion we were having has now devolved into random shitflinging instead of focusing on the actual issue. and I've no interest in listening to that or people namedropping the pricks of yesteryear for nostalgia clout. PuppiesAndKittens i hope i catch up with you in discord because I'd still like to hear about what happened and what went wrong. Beyond that all I can really do is keep an eye out and call out any shithousery I see. If that gets me kicked and nothing helps then so be it.

Welp, caught up on the thread. Thanks FNLN for posting those logs, that's a pretty clear case of the mittani actively being an infantile prick in a situation where keeping his mouth shut was a valid option. thanks again PuppiesAndKittens for shining a light on it as well.

I've decided I don't want to be in an alliance where mittani, john hartly and yogizh (and the others that are like them) are allowed to roam around being shitbirds with no oversight. I'm sad because I've only ever been in gsf and don't really know where to go next, or whether I just quit. But that's a problem for tomorrow.

He doesn't even suggest that he's reviewing his relationship with all the loving shitheads in illum who stood by silently and enabled him while he was doing all this terrible poo poo that he now regrets -- if they were fine with the poo poo he did before, why should they be fine with the systems they build to prevent it from happening again?

this is largely why i don't trust that there will be a fundamental change unless the leadership structure fundamentally changes. nobody of any "importance" in the imperium wants to stand up to him, whether that's due to fear of reprisal or because they agree with him i'm not sure, and either option is bad. And if it turns out that "oh, actually someone did say something in private hence the apology (2 days late)" then my response would be: what use is that? Accountability is something that has to be seen to be happening.

There's a number of goon discords for various games or hobbies that I'm a member of that are full of genuinely great people. The combination of shared history but also maturity (read: we are all old people now) make them nice places to be, good moderation too. I guess the larger the community gets the greater risk there is of it getting poisoned. All my hobbies like simracing etc are fairly niche.
