Quick, a few comments from a long time EVE player and a dedicated DUST player.

Forum posting in EVE and DUST, if you have thin skin don't post, don't even read them. Most threads on EVEO usually end up as nothing more than flame wars.

Reputation, what stinking reputation? (sarcasm) Goons are known for their griefing and trolling on the forums. The reputation that you are worried about should be whether or not you are able to complete your contracts using what ever it takes to win, period. Goons are also known for being able to bring the fight to you even when they are outclassed as they were in the early days of the BOB war. I hated Goons and hated being in their ts lobby having to listen to all the coc*, dic*, cun*, and yomomma talk while waiting for a drag into combat coms channel.

Agreed, Goon coms have chillaxed alot now compared to the past. I am not a goon but am part of the CFC and have had numerous operations with them. I have not had any problems with them, compared to what I would have had say.. 2 years ago

I hate all these ******** threads where bad players and bad clans talk shite

There is a vast amount of trash talking among console players. Never understood why. Seems rediculous most of the time.

Just male back slapping bravado games.

Also concerning tanks:

The guys you see rolling the big heavy tanks game in game out... Lurch, Ted and the gang.... They said right from the beginning that they were going to be dedicated tank drivers. Don't believe me? I have posts about Lurch organizing an all tank division. That's their job, and why the EV is such an awesome organization. We have people in a vent chat everyday teaching the new recruits how it's done.

ITs called specialization, and creating experts in the field.
You laugh while they perfect their skills as tank drivers, and call them noob stomping.

We look at it as, running experts with tanks, teaching the new guys how to maximize the tanks. Because when we have 5-10 thousand players in the Entropy Virus... we are going to use those experts to teach the kiddies how to roll.

In the end, even if STB was being cocky.... or noob stomping....

Welcome to the World of New Eden.

where you gotta win however you have to. Anyone that thinks that making use of an advantage is weak, is going to get a lot of flak for when he loses, and it was in his power to win.

i sent it hours ago

Going from your post, Deadpool, it appears to me that you and STB are under the assumption that you can be a serious, big name corp in New Eden and still operate like any other small time clan from every other FPS.
If that's so it'll be interesting to see your reaction to the new reality you've placed yourselves in.

@Cerebral Wolf Jr,

I get what you're saying, my apologies if I did not clearly respond to your post. While I agree with you, that certain players should not say certain things on these forums as it comes across badly for STB or any corp for that matter. But my point Cerebral, was that I can not tell a player not to post. I am not an officer of STB, I am not Quickgloves and a leader of my corp.

May I ask to whom you are referring to at STB that makes posts that are not showing us off in a good way?

What I can do though, is speak to those players and have an open discussion with them on forums posting and maybe I can help them. Again I want to encourage players to post. I want more and more players to post in the forums. But with that I must take the good and the bad. Not everything even I say, is always good. But I try and I know they are all trying as well.

I have no issue, I am simply pointing out that this is game, games are meant to be fun. So no matter the politics or what ever that New Eden will present in the coming months and years that I and STB play Dust, I will always see this as just a game to make me happy.

Ty, I know your just trying to be helpful in your own way. So +1 from me for being honest and civil about this.

You seem to think EVE/Dust Corporations are just the kind of thing where a bunch of guys who like playing together do whatever they feel like with no real authority coming from the leaders and officers. EVE and Dust corporations rely upon a largely strict hierarchy, this is why most serious corporations are structured more like a corporate bureaucracy or in the case of the Goons a dictatorship rather than a happy go-lucky group of casuals mucking about.

Ok STB is working on presenting the true chain of command within STB.


We operate as a syndicate an model our leadership after it.
