God, those damn goons. They're such people doing things in video games that they like playing. Why can't all people play video games the way I play video games?

Goons or no Goons..... I don't care
I have played EVE and WOT and actually I made money off of Goons....they do stimulate the economy of EVE and yes I think a portion of them are real jerks, another portion are decent people....thats the real world also.

GOONS are hated in EVE because honestly they are a group that has been around and they lie, cheat, steal & kill to grow and get what they want and they are good at it. But hey, thats how the game was written and was set up to be like. Now from what I see that has created a arrogance in some of them but hell I would swagger too.

If people want to play a game, they should play and if they get out of hand then the devs and such should take care of it or the players should band together and take care of it the old fashioned way.

The only way they can "ruin" the game is for you to take it personal and you dwell on getting revenge or think they are somehow getting more than you out of the game....and well it may seem that they are.

So long as you're not CIR...

And so long as you don't distribute hitbox skins or any of that garbage who cares what you say... people take this gamer clan stuff to seriously. That said, I'm sure the GMs here will be a little more heavy handed with people acting like twerps then they would be in EvE or WoT or Perpetuum or a plethora of other games.

Oooooh, I was offered that at MEPS, but they talked me into Comm/Nav. Better than Open General or Open Electronics like a lot of kids in my Basic flight were, I lucked out making sure my job was secure. Ironically, I wanted Heavy Aircraft Comm/Nav because I was REALLY hoping to get into B-52s or B-1Bs. But C-130s are easy and fun to work on....until a wire breaks

Sadly we had a guy who was guaranteed a job doing Electronic Intelligence.....and he got the flu the LAST week of basic....and missed out on picking up his job assignment. He got Security Forces

I -hate- fishing wires >.<, I did actually go in open electronics because the job I wanted wasn't available (stupid recruiter XD) I got fortunate to get ground radar thataway which I suppose was a lot better than what I could've got fortunately I rarely get sick to begin with, I'd probably never have been able to deal with getting stuck in SF going in for electronics

What's with the hardcore victimization going on here? I haven't seen any posts like this on these forums. Care to link to them so we can help correct this horrible injustice being done to you and your people?

There are none. It's all just yelling: "Oh look, i belong to this notorious group from the Something Awful forums, we gonna ruin your game just like EVE. We're sooo cool. Notice me, notice me."

They are irrelevant. They just wanna keep us talking about it/them. Which i do, stupid me. I'll stop now.

I actually found him again post tech school. He seems to be doing well, but he would have been happier I'm sure in Intel.

We had one wire that was in the middle of a 60 wire bundle that had stripped and rubbed against the flight deck....and it was UNDER the flight deck, which meant taking the seats out, removing the plywood floorboards and hunting for said wire

It had to be fixed as well, it was the mic hi line for the VHF radio, and it was driving the crew bonkers.

Yep! And I didn't even know the difference between the shreds before tech school. Needless to say, I love Comm/Nav, and would rather not be GAC, but I don't get an enlistment bonus like ECM aka C shred.

I was an aviation electronics tech in the Navy. Worked mostly on F18 radar. Didn't enjoy it that much. Security was way more fun lol. Sooo many perks.

To qualify to be a full feathered Goon member, you must commit at least 14 acts of random violence/mayhem/theft/larceny/arson/lewd behavior. After serving your 3rd prison term you get a tattoo on the inner thigh of a bird claw (thus representing your faith in your fellow Goons not to step on your balls). All Goons must do this, so any without said proof are simply posers, using the title of Goon to justify their own silly antics.

Oh wait. That was a work of fiction. Kind of like BattleTech.....

Jerks and cool people exist in equal measures along all walks of life. A Goon **** you off? Be mad at THAT GOON. They're mostly grown men, responsible for their own actions and most assuredly not in charge of babysitting each other. Bunch of profiling nonsense that doesn't get anyone anywhere except "you represent ideal/group/faction/demographic A. I oppose this. I oppose you. Eat my crabapples."

Paying your bills is serious business. Keeping food on the table and your spouse happy is serious business. Educating your children and rearing them into future productive members of society is serious business. This is a GAME based on a GAME based on a fictional universe. These are words on a screen. If they offend you so, that's on you. Either get thick skin or write bad poetry about the injustices heaped upon your burdened shoulders by some WORDS.

A goon shoots me, I'll shoot him back, regaling him with tales of exactly how I like my Lowtax seasoned and fried. You win some, you lose some, You talk some trash, you get it flung back. Stop this ridiculous CRYING. You're not babies! Don't like it? Don't look at it! I am simultaneously awed and disgusted by the concept of bronies, so I STAY THE **** OUT OF THEIR FORUMS. It's not hard. Goons aren't "taking over." They'll just say as much to get you to waste time typing instead of checking out awesome screenshots or spamming PGI for beta keys.

This is the internet. Welcome.

Oh, we have fun with the crew. The problem is, especially for Pilots and CoPilots, they have to know SO many systems that they hardly know anything beyond turning them on and reading them.

So we often get write ups that make no sense. At all. Because they honestly DIDN'T know what was going wrong, or if that was something wrong.

For example: C-130Es and Hs run a system call SCNS which is basically a computerized navigation system. Its old, and as someone who was a Systems Administrator for 6 years prior to the USAF, it looked like an old green screen UNIX system.

Anyways, it used to have a bug, a certain bug that would only appear at certain times during the flight on certain days at certain hours.

Took GE forever to peg it, but for the longest time we didn't believe the flight crews.

well of course, you don't expect a pilot to also understand basic electronic principles, that would be kinda like expecting your doctor to be able to work on your car ^.^

We're nice, in fact we often give new pilots/navs/copilots gifts, like custom made adapters that allows them to plug in their MP3 player into the interphone system, so they can play music/movies in flight for everyone to hear. Makes those long deployment trips more bearable rather than having to stare at the ADI/HSI and all the gauges for hours and hours only listening to radio chatter.

Wow, how bad was it to work on? We have APN-241 Low Power Color Radar, SOOOO much easier to work on than the APN-59 which had all those damned pressurization systems and was prone to breakdowns.

No offence but about goons I think they are bunch of idiots got hyped*given motivational speech, we are a clan and a family lie* by a smart leader*evil plotter* turned them into small money makers and then after turning all that virtual money into real paper.He cleaned his ... with them like TP threw them away.2 Guys got rich and ran away and still those so called goons protecting their clan values.Your boses on a boat with hot young .....s

In early 2010, a GoonSwarm director and leader of Goonfleet named karttoon bored with his position kicked all corporations of GoonSwarm except for the wallet holding corp and holding corp, and transferred the alliance and Goonfleet funds that he had access to, totalling upwards of 150 billion ISK in cash and around 300 billion ISK in assets into his own wallet.

Airmen, confusing me with your fancy Tech talk. 11B infantry for 6 years in Germany. Ramstein was 20 minutes away, so got all the oohs and ahhs for being 11B, and all the amenities of an AF base.

[Lipot]

Jesus, Commie, Damion. You two are almost making me wish that I was in the USAF instead of the CAF DND cadet command division I was in. I was trying to work my way into 8 Wing Air Transport in Trenton via the "baby sitting" group. They gave me my commission then told me that I was not going to be allowed to get my minimum flight time to transfer over to the reg force group. Of course if I was state side, I would of been one of those giving the messed up reports about the radar and requesting the mp3 adapter as well.

Goons are scum, those that hang with goons are scum. You say you just do things to have fun and it is all fun and games etc.. BS Goons do nothing but go out of thier way to grief people end of story. Didn't know goons played anything but Eve, but nice to know. Atleast now we will know where to look to find the hackers and exploiters as other than griefing that is the only other thing your known for. BTW dont try throwing up all your personal RL stuff as a means to justify the way you act towards others in a game. My wife works for DoD as well and she is nothing like the scum found in goonswarm.

I didnt come here to rant or rave.. Frankly I could care less about your clan/guild/faction of scumbags. But seriously just dont try to justify it.

I was going to respond, and then I saw this message. Thank you, Dificeman. Your point is about as good as it comes.
