  • Just have to say Sun Tzu probably rolled over in his grave laughing his ass off when this happened.....

    well played sir, well played indeed.

  • Imagine, if you will, that this video is about World of Warcraft, thus making the two Highest Rated Comments actually relevant.

    Cool story as far as the translations (for want of a better term) go, but the people watching this will be Eve, not WoW, players. So it's wasted effort as long as you're posting in comments on an Eve Online video as opposed to Wowpedia or what have you.

  • 'cept karttoon prolly had his account hacked and stolen by a friend or something.

  • Too bad GS got fat and bloated on Delve riches, after a while they basically turned into the original BoB and circle was complete.

    The only part that really sucks is all the IT blowhards are back in the spotlight. But seriously, how long before they convince themselves of having any actual skill, then they try to pull another MAX campaign (lolz), and before long Delve will be cleansed once again.

    Two essential truths about EVE:

    People have short memories.

    History repeats itself.

  • goonswarm less we forget o7

  • oh the irony!

  • In before: there are no goons *ducks*

  • SPEAKING OF BAD CORPS LOL AND DISBANDED.... ATLEAST BOB got FUCKED over... YOU all fucked yourself WHy Stupid asses LOL AWSOME SHIT GOONS war deced my CORP so we ATTACKED its logistics in JITA till they ended a few days later LOL pussies. PURE and simple. SO glad your group is fucked KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK MORONS.

  • Comment removed

  • @joexngh1 The goons were betrayed, not exteriorly destroyed. They were destroyed the same way BoB went down.

  • LOLOLOL FAG SWARM DISBANDED LOL best news ive heard all day !!!!! NO LOVE for those FAGS looking for new corps. GOD i love that GOONS got fucked over. by a asshole CEO and thiefs LOL

  • @joexngh1

    what exactly happened to goonswarm? Did they get disbanded like BoB?

  • @Dominus357

    Spontaneous combustion.

  • @Dominus357 They didn't pay their space bills and lost sov in delve, then kartoon kicked all of the corps.

  • hey guys. feb 03 is the big day now. o/ goodbye fagswarm o/

  • haha Karma is a bitch :)

  • Mitt needs to post another of these vids right about now tbh.

  • Dongs lol

  • how matter how hard goons win they lose. also black is white and shit smells like a fresh summer day.

  • @MeMeMaestroll oh god we are you now.

  • U Mad?!

  • 49-u mad

  • Goon isnt in EVE to break EVE. Just break your EVE.

    At least that's what I've heard.

  • good shit go goons.

  • haha dianabolic is my brother

  • You don't play EVE, so you don't get it. Its every pod pilots dream to take down BoB.

  • there is still -A-

  • Themselves, of course.

  • rather just shit around delve and become space rich

    also grief pubbies

  • lol "thats spiffy"

  • nobody agrees with you.

  • all hail mittens!

  • nah one uses vaves of T2 ships and the other uses alarger wave of T1 ships...and the T1 wins...

  • so does anyone have the link to the bob forums , the goons were supposed to post 3 weeks ago

    ?

  • good work so far, can we get even more pubbie tears please

  • Damn that was booring. I was actually expecting something real. aaanyways the nevar forget doesnt really work since most have already forgot aboot it.

    Also I wan 8 misn and 15 secs of my life back lol k thx?

  • hahaha, BoB getting owned is sweeter still. Fuck those losers.

  • derpsharklaugh.wav

  • You could at least post some funny (IRL) pictures of goons so i could laff a bit. Otherwise its just some guy going on and on about how he told some other guy what to do, but he himself not actually doing anything and still sounding really proud of it :psyduck:

  • Every good alliance has a spymaster—it certainly isn't unique to GoonSwarm. It's actually quite difficult to do well; coordinating information and spies as well as deciding when and when not to make use of opportunities. Far from "doing nothing," there's a reason Aaron Static (IGNE director) passed this along to Mittani. He's the decision-maker for all things espionage in GoonSwarm.

  • Oh, and if you want funny pictures of goons, visit Helldump on SA. ;)

  • Just wanted to point out an inaccuracy in the explanation.

    Coranor isn't my Brother, he was a BNC director that took over the running of the corp when Blacklight (my RL brother) and I (DoctorGonzo) stopped playing.

    P.S. This wouldn't have happened on my watch! :p

  • Thanks for the clarification. I was just the transcriber, so I didn't really know what was up as far as that went.

  • ANY game SA goons get into is about doing whatever it takes to get X done. And here, they wanted to stick it to bob for a while. An offer presented itself, they acted, and boom. Incredible damage done on an unheard of scale. CCP is practically pissing themselves due to the influx of people who want to be a part of it; they're laughing all the way to the bank.

  • This news just made my week, and I haven't even played EVE in a year.

  • I have so much respect for the goons. I'm actually wanting to join SA just so I can be in the Darkfall clan.

  • thing is, it's risk vs reward. eve is this in its entirety. especially in 0.0 space. most especially when you join a big shit corp/alliance. all that hard work and effort can disappear in an instant if someone with massive power just decides one day "you know what? fuck this." like zgpk said, it wasn't blatant cheating.

    shady, perhaps, but holy shit. the scale of this is tantamount awesome. and bob saying "we didn't want that name anyway" is a billion shades of raep.

  • @hisoj Yeah it's pretty boring if you don't know what Mittens is talking about.

  • awesome BOB was like Gaza, so easy to kill and still after getting beaten so badly they declare themselfs the winner

    epic fail Alliance formerly known as Band of Brothers

  • makes me want to get back into this game. Didn't know corps were around for so long. I like that, I've been in guilds in WoW that expire in months, even though there were good people there.

  • there is no bob.

  • so basically we are in your alliance now and will do the same to the goons, its ok we suxed up with pride hope the goons can when they get disbanded. shouldn't went there

  • there were hostile agents inside of goonswarm before this happened. They've just been very poor or hasty in their decision when to "smash n' grab".

  • I was forwarded here from slashdot, just from pure curiosity, and I think it's funny how many people here are stupid enough to still argue the semantics of it. They're saying whoever these goons are, are just cheaters and didn't get this fairly as if they're going to admit it was cheating and everything will go back to normal. Sounds like a bunch of people just need to ragequit and play a new game rather than bitch.

  • today is the best day in eve

  • Someone's taking things waaaaaaay too seriously.

  • lol your mighty empire was brought down by faggots

  • Well, then you shouldn't have given your stuff to someone who has permission to get rid of it.

  • What the goons did was perfectly within the rules of engagement so far as Eve is concerned. No Eve accounts were stolen, nor were any hacked, so there was no violation of the EULA. Corporate defection and sabotage is a regular occurrence: tons of corporations have had it happen to them due to the actions of tons of other corporations. The only difference here is scale.

    The mega-alliances such as GoonSwarm and former-BoB know that honor is a luxury you can't live with once you've made it big.

  • Really?! tell me more...

  • Ok I've never played Eve before, but is this like The rebel alliance finally destroying the Death Star or something?

  • What happened is like Vader jumping ship early and setting the self-destruct switch for the Rebels.

    EvE is a phenomenally tedious logistical game with some space combat on the side. BoB had long-standing near-total control of a VERY nice part of the game universe..  Now, their control has been interrupted, and everyone in the game is rushing in to carve up the pieces. BoB still has a huge member base, but they're fragmented; it'll take years for them to ever recover.

  • Infrastructure in EvE takes months of real time to construct, you see. A corporation takes control of a chunk of space, builds improvements of various sorts that let them move fleets quickly, harvest resources efficiently, and exploit the terrain more effectively -- it amounts to a massive investment of hundreds of people's time. Now, someone in the upper echelons of the corporation just handed Goonswarm the keys to their assets, right down to the corporation's name itself.

  • All of BoB's individual holdings are ok...but the massive group holdings are gone. Imagine, if you will, that someone in WoW defected from their guild. Now, imagine that they didn't just walk with the guild bank; they walked with all the guild's tradeskill capacities, zone keys, mounts, and developed reputations, then locked them out of the endgame zones for months. Imagine that happening to a guild of hundreds of long-time server snobs, and all orchestrated by the server's goofiest guild.

  • Imagine, for a moment, that there are no real safe zones, no Orgrimmar or Stormwind to go hide in, no personal instances for unimpeded development. And, finally, imagine that there was but one game server, and that the guild that got hit, while undeniably powerful, had a nasty history, tainted with near-certain collusion with the game admins. Many will not mourn the group's passing.

    If MMO politics in this day can possibly be newsworthy in any respect, this is one such instance.

  • There is allready a game like that. Darkfall, it releases february 25.

  • This is why you are dumb. IF you were in BoB then you deserve that every bit. I've never played the game, but obviously if you play a game where a single player can gain that much power, you are taking risks as it is and frankly I'm surprised something of this caliber didn't happen sooner. I guess it is proportional to the population of the game though.

  • @deadacc64852 Imagine, if you will, actually having sex

  • @smegmadiver22 some of us can do this crazy thing called remembering it, or even doing it :D

  • Okay, it's becoming pretty apparent that either you don't get how Eve works or you're actively downplaying the significance of this. Metagaming, espionage, and diplomacy are all parts of the 0.0-game in Eve, especially for giant alliances. When Mittani mentions "smash-n-grab," he's referring to a VERY common method of defecting. This stuff happens all the time, the only difference here is scale.

  • ok, i get it. Everyones a shifty would-be criminal who doesnt want to dirty the ship they've taken 4 years to acquire and will resort to fing over people who trusted you to "smash and grab" from your own people.

    Doesnt make it any less cheap. sorry.

  • Here's another way to look at it. In the real world, who's more powerful: an athlete with three black belts, or a national-level politician? Yes, the athlete could take the politician in a fistfight, a footrace, or even a staring contest. The politician, however, wins long-term; the politician just tells the guards, the army, or the police that the athlete is a threat, and the athlete is done for.

    "Trust" takes longer to develop than reflexes, but for right or wrong, it's more powerful.

  • it was a cheap move, but the energy and consequences make it quite priceless, it actually creates and moves the war plot along.

    That's right EVE is a sandbox game and you can play your own role...

    Some people throw sand in other people's eyes whenever they can. Welcome to The Box.

  • buttes:

  • Ok I am not a Goon fan but my hat is off to you all for doing a mastermind of a job. BoB you have no one to blame but yourself. God I just can't stop laughing. ROFLMAO @ BoB What are they calling themselves now? BooB's? LOL

  • Can someone explain this to a Non-EVE player please? :)

  • Comment removed

  • Epic epicness

  • WHAT DOES ANY OF THIS MEAN!?

  • My question exactly.

  • Why does the Quote "You can run, but you can't hide" come to Mind here?

  • Why can't more MMOs be like EvE?

    Fucking epic win

  • Epic. Fucking. Win.

    (I'm not an EVE player, btw, but I kinda have a clue of the type of shit that goes down in there)

    good work, Goons.

  • got the full version of this already rather intresting show of power in a sense makes me want to jump back to eve online even if its just to go to a low sov zone and get pod killed like last time i played it XD

  • Good work goons!!!!

  • WOW. What's next? Goons will rule all of EVE. Too bad I'm not one.

  • BoB accidentally their alliance!

  • well done sir. well done.

    i just re-read chapter 13 of "the art of war", i think we should call this menouver a "chapter 13".
