So true.

Now show us where the squawk touched you.

meh the op is probably a goon posting this to get attention. That is what goons do, anything for attention. Just ignore them and kill them like the pubbies they are.

yea, last week i ran with my "casual friends group" as a 3 man group...

from the enemies side sounded a "SQUAWK! this is the word of lowtax!"

they got badly ripped apart by us and the others in our team :)

a "SQUAWK" is not a quality seal, though there are some pretty good players there... but that counts for all units and pugs...

i guess the thing is, that goons in MWO are just a unit as any other, other than in eve, where their strenghth is in the numbers.. no offense intended, dear goonies, just my opinion :D

Generally Goons will be the ones sqwuaking at you, and even with the things that are said about them (many of them true in my experience though not universal) they play hard and put up a good stand up fight if they feel like it.

Hahahahahahahaha. This fella rather cap than kill.
Fun thing to know is that each match i play and ppl rush cap
It I always tend to make more exp and cbills than those weaklings.
Ppl squawk on it because they cant destroy your mech.

Used to run alongside Goons in EVE.

They have a good number of folks there that have "earned them their reputation" so to speak; scams and griefing and the like.

Most of them, though, are just your usual internet sort and no better or worse than the lot of us.

In MWO, have had a few Goon squads beat us or at least give us a run for our money, others we trounced handily.

The Something Awful forums, from whence most Goons are spawned, is a massive and diverse group of people. Other than a typical internet-age sense of humor, there isn't much of a defining trait to a Goon.

My neckbeard and cheeto-stained fingers vibrate angrily at you sir.

I'm looking forward to the inevitable parade of people boasting of their huge wins against the Terrible Squawking Menace. Come on everyone, tell us how every time you've met goons you've beaten them!

Losing couldn't be more rarer,
But thinking that we win all matches is an error.
We don't squawk every match;
Just wait until the Community Warfare patch,
The size of our flock is a terror.

"Squawk" is actually the magic word that summons Mechwarrior Buddah to a thread.
