Yes recruiters are a real thing. If you have the luck of encountering one, you have the best chances to roll with "the gang".

To be fair we are joing one of the lowest population houses. I think FRR has more members than Liao.

We're just more vocal except for the Davions who like to spout their superiority nonsense whenever they can.

I know reading comprehensions has never been a goon strong suite. But please, at-least make a valid effort to "try" and read. I clearly put it was a few years ago. But I'm sure you just "choose" to ignore that part to add ignorance to your list of traits? These days I prefer beating yall in your "manly games" Like Eve, and WOT that your so proud of. But never fear goon. When live happens, I'll be more then willing to continue this tradition of "you talk smack" and I smack you back down to earth. Though as tradition always dictates you will never honest admit it or accept it. And if you do you make excuses of why you don't care, or did not try. I can list many more excuses. But I think I'd max out the letter limit.

I like your sig, but it needs amending.

"JOIN HOUSE STEINER! EXCEPT GOONS! WE HATE WINNING!"

Also, you've definitely got at least one goon joining you, though he's more sourcebook than man now.

Then you apparently cannot keep track of all your recruiters. Cause I can assure you, more time then I can count, I've been approached by Goon to join. Ogame.org has been going strong since 2002. So I really cannot call that a fade by the month browser game. And your goon players played around 2+ years on that game. Even if you don't care to admit it.


Yes, we totally recruit pubbies in every game we play. If you meet one you should definitely give him all your stuff so he can keep it safe in the guild bank.

I'm not sure you get to complain about reading comprehension when your post is littered with grammatical errors and sentence structure that makes reading far more difficult than it needs to be.

I also love that there's still a ton of people talking about how they're going to be better than goons in this unreleased game. I'm sure everyone posting was awesome at previous MW games, but we're all starting from scratch with this one.

Reputation holds little value? The entire basis of Inner Sphere warfare is dick-waving on a galactic scale. Probably wouldn't look good for the rest of you Liao types, though.

I am the official goon recruiter. I am offering open enrollment in the new goon guild going up. Please transfer the requisite million C-Bills to the guild bank officer, TENBUX. If you are unable to pay the required fee we also accept assets in the place of C-Bills, one heavy or assault class mech should suffice. After your safety deposit has been received and processed you will get your guild invite from our hiring officer, NDP. May the Word of Lowtax guide you.

Edit: vvvvv This is just our premium prelaunch discount deal. As soon as the game goes live, anyone who applies after the game's drop date will be required to pay in Mech Credits.

That said if you can get a goon recruiter to let you into their group for ANY price, pay it. It's the fast track, man!

You are vastly under charging. You should require that they gift the Goons in Mech Credits. It seems more fair for all the benefits!

Besides, $10 worth of MC seems like it's fitting.

More like hating bad reputation.

I hope you can resist the urge to make fun of everyone and ruin the whole reputation of every Liao before, or after you. :P

Right now, Davions bark, but all of them that faced a Liao before know really well that we may not have many members, but we know how to fight. Now, with that numerous disadvantage gone, I hope you can keep our reputation and not make us the trolls of the IS.

Are Goonswarm and Goonsquad (from WoW on Mal'ganis) part of the same group? If so...yikes. Goonsquad made mal'ganis unplayable for the alliance (hell, look at the horde to alliance demographics on there...). Effective, but not terribly cordial folks. I welcome them and have no issue with them being on the same side, so long as it doesn't become a friendly fire grief-fest or something.

They come from the same place.

That said, friendly fire griefing is not at all goon style. That'd be more 4chan or /b/ specifically.

I Personaly have not had any direct contact with the "Goon Swarm" but thier massive player base has Wreaked havok on alot of MMO games destroying in game echonomys or just being a bunch of trolls in some cases. in other cases goon swarm has had no major impact except nobody myself included wanted to deal or play with them if possible..... i hate to say it goon swarm but you have turned yourselves into a infamous group of gamers that the majority of the gaming world does not want around.. not because you ruin games but because you have just for your own players benifits in the past wether it was on purpous or not i do not know but maybe its time to call the swarm quits. before you do too much damage to the gaming comunity i know you realy messed up WoT for a while there..... (note this was also partly the Devs fault) and there are alot of games out there with large scale clan/faction fighting maps that are dominated by your clan to the point that others dont bother.. i know you guys are probably in it for the fun but. i think you need to disband or break into smaller groups and try to fight on different factions in this game instead of power loading one side.


GL MWO if the Goons are coming then the game may not do as well as you or i hoped

Again, I've only really played with goons in CoD but the priorities have always been:

1. Entertain ourselves
2. Win

Point one often takes the form of "annoying the hell out of people who are taking this way too seriously", with a fair dollop of number 2.

The Davions make an awesome target because they're under the illusion they're the good guys. Their only character of any real entertaining worth was Hanse, and then he was entertaining because he was a massive, massive *******. It's going to be fun as hell to wail on them, probably second only to poking the clan forum with a stick.

Liao are interesting because they're the underdogs. They've never really been who you're SUPPOSED to root for in the novels, mostly because of Stackpole's fondness for Davion, but frankly they've got way more to offer. I mean hell, they bombed their own capital city to dust to show the Davions not to mess with them - that's the sort of thing goons would do (although we'd doubtless make sure the bombs left the pattern of a massive dong on the planet's surface).
