I think all of you should strongly consider ignoring CaptainGordon.

tl;dr version is:

Hey, look at me I'm an attention seeking failure at life that needs to qualify my behaviour on a game that I'm trying to make you believe that I don't care about.

Goons take this game more seriously than any alliance has ever done. That's not the sad fact though. The sad fact is that you believe it's stupid to take a game seriously. Games can be fun and taken seriously. It's not a hard concept to grasp.

Also note that if there aren't at least 5 threads about Goons on the first page of CAOD Goons will post threads about themselves until their quota is met.

You have become Bob. Congrats.

Some words about a guy that dont know about games.

Games like MMOs needs time investment. That means you need time and work to achieve something.
In Eve Online, this kind of time investment have more importance because when you loose something. You loose it. Period.
So people whining about their loss, the nerfbat, and beeing agressive on forums isnt something you could smile of.

Basically, this game is also important in real life because time is real. Effort is real.
So you can be sarcastic, you can laugh about people taking this game too seriously, but you just dont understand the way games works... and I mean "all" games.
Some people play to win, maybe not you, but that's you, not everyone.
There, you are the arrogant person, you insult me here because I'm not a goon, or because I take this game seriously because I'm investing a lot of time in it.
I say : go you, dont post on forums that kind of ****. Go make fun of people elsewhere. You're a big piece of unrespecfull guy.

the only good goon is a dead goon.

nothing but childish. posting pictures of a big **** on these forums is not even close to being funny.

But i guess i get the "big picture" of the goons now. you make fun of others and how they choose to conduct themselves so you can feel superior. I for one quit doing that sort of thing in grammar school.

why do people associate with these morons?

Goons are members of the Something Awful community. They are an extremely tight-knit group which has stood the test of time. The entire purpose of this community is to make fun of stupid people on the Internet and all the stupid cliches that are born from the Internet's worst parts.

That doesn't mean that goons are facist 100% of the time towards non-goons (further reffered to as "pubbies"), it merely means that goons do not place the same value and emphasis on "pubbie" values as other "pubbies" do.

Eve Online is the perfect example of such conflict, where the general public audience tends to take the game way too seriously. Such attitude provokes the majority of goon outbursts, since most of the goons don't believe into taking anything on the Internet seriously, especially the parts of it that deal with entertainment. Games are not meant to be taken seriously in real life, never mind the extent of fanaticism to which some games, like Eve or World of Warcraft has driven some people to. Such people deserve all the ridicule they get, since our entire community lives and breathes satire. Most of goon actions are motivated by a simple desire for this satire and comedy, in-game or out of it. The recent storm of horrible posts in CAOD is the perfect example of a huge joke, that went over the heads of the most "pubbies" here.

Before the Great Eve War, CAOD was dominated by a bunch of absolutely arrogant, power-tripping Band of Brothers posters who thought that wars are won with "kill/death ratios". They proceeded to use colorful phrases, like "industrial backbone" and "kill efficiency" to describe how they are utterly crushing their opposition, when in fact what was going on in the game was quite different compared to what was being posted here. The entire forum was their playground and virtually no one complained about that at the time. In fact, such ridiculous circle jerking was encouraged by the general "pubbie" population of CAOD. The very fact that the CAOD crowd is reacting very differently to the exact same trolling from goons now, abeit under a slightly different flavor, is the cause of much comedy among us. It is rare to see a community so hypocritical and so incredibly stuck up that they cant even take their own satire well.

We had a fantastic laugh at your expense, and we will continue to do so as long as you are going to provide us with this opportunity. This is the essence of what goons do in Eve - its so much fun to play this game because its absolutely packed with stupid people, who cause a lot of drama when the game doesn't go their way.

And we absolutely love it.

edit: warning - this thread may contain flashing lights and unfunny trolling
