The Mittani Explains

GoonFleet's The Mittani lays out the events of 04 February 2009, a date likely to go down in MMO history. Censored because it makes it sound all controversial, but seriously the raw audio is easy enough to find so whatever. Edited for length so that it would fit YouTube standards, but don't worry, all the meat is there.

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

[zgpk]

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

[lusulpher]

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.

all hail mittens!

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.

[VoiceOfInsanity]

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.

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

[BTCforlife]

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

@deadacc64852 Imagine, if you will, actually having sex

[DominateKiller6]

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

[naliron]

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

@Dominus357

Spontaneous combustion.

@joexngh1

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

[AblativeExplicative]

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.
