Yeah, but this knowledge doesn't help me understand why people rely on stereotypes/mis-perceptions.

I think it's because the people accused of it indirectly support them.

Be it games where you always see those said nations as the bad guys heavily drawing from stereotypes, media that always shows them in that light, etc.

For instace, in your case, I agree Goons are far from what you've initially appeared to me. However, you still do stuff just to support the accusations, be it doing something of no harm you know will **** a few people off like liking your posts, or even directly supporting the image of anti-sociological group by earning places like Kraketora section, which is said to be a place for you and all the junk of the forum threads, or videos of victories against groups you have a quarrel with to things like sigs and so on...

It may not be really what goons are like, but I think we can agree that it doesn't even matter to you, sice you are strenghtening the image, rather than proving people wrong.

Perhaps there needs to be some more cohesion between groups lately i have not had the best of interactions with certain lowtax players however i am willing to work with lowtax players i have met some cool guys and a few not so cool but thats normal of anyone.

I too have played many games in the last 3-4 days with our WOL friends. Some games were played on the same team, and some games opposite of each other, most occurrences have been amicable, but as with any digital online games, a few were not good reps of faction House Liao much less their sponsoring clan of WOL.


If everyone's end game is to make house Liao the go to faction, then
everyone needs to work harder to do the right thing for the faction.

Then the only disadvantage to being a part of faction house Liao, will be the fact we do not have enough foes to send our lances after.

Good thing we have you to make us all look better in spite of the goons.

And people view all arabian people as fanatics and terrorists. All Russians as evil machines that want tp take over the world withc machines that run on alcohol. All Americans as fat and relatively stupid people. All Japanese as perverts and so on...

99% of the people you engage have only ever heard of Goons from EvE and there's already enough neativity on the game itself, even more so on a group that has a major say in it.

It's the only way people outside of the known can see you and as such don't want to have anything to do with you.

So you admit that people are dumb as hell and will vilify what they do not understand. Thank you.

Can such an awesome and terrifying force of nature have a disadvantage?? The very idea boggles the mind! How can the human brain withstand two such diametrically opposed ideas existing in concert? Surely it cannot! Surely it would destroy a man! The Infinitely Abiding House Liao and its wards, the legion peoples of the Capellan Confederation have NO disadvantages! There is no strife and no discontent within Capellan borders!

Immigrate today and see the wonders of Capella - four decades of indentured servitude to an agri-baron guarantees your right to apply for temporarily landed sub-citizen status! Serfdom Guarantees (maybe) Citizenship!

Would you like to know more??

[Lord Ikka]

Generations of servitude and deprivations does actually give their pilots a nasty advantage in guerrilla warfare and basic sneakiness. When you have to hide as much as you can from the government, hiding from enemy lances is no big deal.

All the love for my House Liao brothers, the WoL, and any other Capellian Confederation Mechwarrior!

It's like there was this faction named "Ditka", and it came in contact with a army named "Ditka", then they merged to form "DITKA-SHIVA".

Awesome. Nothing else needs to be said. Can we get this locked and sticky plz?

Welcome to House Liao - Supported by the Word of Lowtax.

Your biggest disadvantage.

[LittleGrim]

Underestimate the Goon's at your own risk...

[DarkBazerker]

Liao disadvantages are mostly the same for any house, having enough people to drop with, and are they good. Now I have to give credit were credit is due. The two top fractions in terms of skill would be Davion and Liao from my point of view. So with all that being said, I think the only issue one would have if they join Liao is if they can get along with the group.

*walks over to the middle table and takes a seat and places a pistol on the table.* Now as for wol. They are one of many many large gaming groups out there on the web. I don't trust em, but I respect them until I can't afford to do so. Every time I see them in the game they tend to troll, but I don't care as long as they don't shoot me. I don't know about EVE as I never played it, but shear numbers wont win cw, nor do I care.

As I walk through the valley of the shadow of Death's Commandos,
I take a look at my life and realize it's very bad, y'know.
Cause I've been blasting and laughing so long that
Even the chancellor thinks that my mind is gone!
But I ain't never cored a mech that didn't deserve it
Me be heard without a squawk, you know that's unheard of.
You better watch how you're chattin', and where you're mechin'
Or you and your homies might be LRM'd and wreckin'
I really hate to trip but I gotta poke
As they croak, I see your mech go up in smoke, fool
I'm the kinda Cent the little homies wanna be like
On my knees in the night saying MITTENS in the daylight
