By the time I got back, he'd gone insane.
Plus, he'd left the gate open and there was evil everywhere.


Someone didn’t get the memo about all Marshals being bait. Also a drive by Marshal with * checks notes * Autocannons, sure.

yeah xenuria has big 'weird autist' vibes so the literal pedo stuff getting swept under the rug lead to kind of a burst of sympathy of "surely this obviously weird and presumably autistic person is just being harassed because of his dire social skills" but no turns out the pedo stuff was known to be real all along

I mean, there's clearly plenty of literally autistic people playing EVE and in GSF, I was one of them. But that's no reason to go around doing the poo poo he's done and it certainly doesn't justify it.

Also, didn't Grath join GSF or am I totally wrong? Is he still around?

From the sporadic calls of dying krabs gathered from B3 intel, this Fratboy has been multibox cloak camping, and the eyes in the allied forward staging systems in PB and Fade. Historically seems to have been menacing krabbing Brave Ishtars across the regions included in Noraus' westward expansion, and has been doing it fairly unopposed until Imperium showed up and started baiting the guy into honorable 1v1 engagements.

Around 900 ships involuntarily deconstructed since yesterday DT in Auga (main content area for amarr vs minmatar faction warfare)

It looked like approx 30bil of value, which isn't gigantic in the scheme of things but lots of fighting going on all day which has been really fun.

We are basically rotating FCs every couple of hours to keep everyone fresh, I did OK on my little shift last night

well, the whole node supporting X47 died trapping everyone in the system there for about two hours, which is something I've not experienced ever I think. I remember the server making GBS threads itself during M2 round two, but to absolutely break post down time is new. Also, because everyone was stuck in X47, we were able to go around and reinforce some vulnerable FRAT structures in F-N and NPC Pure Blind

I remember nodes just hard locking and everyone getting kicked out like pre 2012 when local got over 1000 so 6000 is an achievement even if it face plants hard after getting there.

It’s significantly better than it was. The client remains a trainwreck, however.

I logged into my alpha account the other day, spam my shuttle for five minutes, remembered why I don’t play this game anymore, and logged the gently caress back out.

They ejected the corp mid hull timer on their Tatara but we suicided a couple cheap battleships to stay on.

Then nuked a Fortizar

Then reffed everything with a hole and a heartbeat in Finanar

Our front line astra gets poked basically every time it survives

We use it just to have tether on the faction warfare front line and seemingly to generate content.

To give a tl;Dr of this BR https://br.evetools.org/br/640e45c382a7a65313ae0c25

We fought snuffed and broke them
Structure repaired
Then JUTSU came and we fought them just for fun
Snuffed came back, so we fought them again (we ceased fire with JUTSU to shoot snuff)
Snuffed left, we carried out our fight with JUTSU, who then left
Train Wreck then decided to come and create a new timer
JUTSU came back to try and pincer our logi, whilst we went for TW DPS, so we extracted.


The node was screwy, presumably the aftermath of the stuff earlier in the day but either way it was great fun and we (amarr mil) held our own really well. Soon this structure will die but its like a cat with 9 lives for now :D

I'm in A-M-R leadership and it seems its our turn to be the focus of some eve drama.

We obviously have a completely different side of the story but I'm so tired of constant ctrlv drama to post it up.

The tldr of it is the screenshots aren't a good look, of course. The guy reaching out to people also reached out to bigab twice and said hey can you not shoot ctrlv - our intentions were always to defend our own stuff and not agress ctrlv at all but that's getting ignored because we think mikal wants a civil war.

All of these years later and the game is still loving up like this ? AND I read up on the pedo bs. I think I'll just keep on winning for a couple more years. I've had an itch to spin in a dock for a bit or die at a gate with a hauler full of poo poo I was told to not dare try moving.

now to be fair, this is the first absolute making GBS threads the bed incident on a fight of this size in a while. FWST in 2020 had as many players if not more and the server held up, while it absolutely did poo poo the bed in M2 because PAPI wanted to jump 6000 players into a system with 6000 players already in it. There's a theory that the EDENCOM guns might have caused the server issues but at the moment :iiam:

There hasn't been a slowdown in the continuous meta and player turn that affected nearly all rundown corners of New Eden over the last decade. Since you last won, what you've enjoyed station spinning back then has probably been nerfed into the ground for some new navy ship or assault cruiser doctrine. The NPCs and space rocks you member fondly hoovering up with your Rorq have changed in size, shape, and dustribution across the galaxy. Whichever social circle you've flown with back then, chances are you won't see their names on fleets.

I mean just today some new 'shipcaster' structure with Titan-like yeeting mechanics was released, which potentially has far-reaching consequences on large engagements, but not a single faction has the know-how to strategically employ them (yet). So instead of addressing your pve/pvp from ancient times, it would BEHOOVE you to read the appropriate home ec and fleet craft threads of the faction forums that's processing your application.

Since the current generation of CCP developers still clearly worships all the ancient Pagan evils, the updates they release to the game continue to iterate on the canonical misery that the playerbase has been forced to enjoy for nearly two decades.

What do you mean you didn’t fit those 10000 rifters before 6000 people were in local! To me that sounds like a lag generating tactic that someone reported instead of letting us have it before then for amusement.
