Alci, you know that thunderdome I was telling you about with the MS as the prize for the winner?  It got smartbombed, and holy shit he did a really good job of it:

~400 killmails.    

Two dudes with deadspace fitted faction frigates teamed up and ended up winning the thing, IIRC.  I think they're both cap pilots already as well.  Kinda lame, but...eh....

He used a geddon?

Cheapest battleship with 8 highs (the Typhoon is the next in line, IIRC, then you get into tier 2 ships).

I thought it was frigate only you were saying..

I have a feeling that guy was not an official participant.

[Alcibiades]

Oh yeah, sorry lol....  tired not reading correctly.   

[MadBurgerMaker]

Yeah, the one with the mothership as a prize was limited to frigates only.  This guy just happened to be able to get in there and nuke 400 ships and pods before he got taken out. 

After this one was over, there was a second thunderdome where everyone was invited to bring whatever ship they wanted, as long as they were prepared to lose it (except the titans that were constantly DDing them, and the various other caps that were there, of course).   It was, of course, mostly frigates since they're cheap/free, but some people showed up with other things.  It was all pretty popular.  When our little squad FC training op (we all died horribly/hilariously to a smaller AAA gang) passed through NOL something like 6 hours after the first one started, there were still 350 people in local, including at least one titan, who was warping around and laughing at them when they were all scattering when he showed up on grid.  Good stuff.

Edit:  There ended up being 4 winners.  2 GF guys in a couple of Succubus frigates who were working together, and 2 RZR dudes in 4 remote repping Punishers ( ).  They weren't able to kill each other/bribe any teammates to switch sides, so they just split the isk equivalent of a MS.

Goons are only marginally more assinine than IRC.

Some pages in individual threads were apparently missed, but just click on the next page, etc. 

Edit:

If you dont want in on it, thats all good, but, as for Evolution.... were doing it.
As of now, GOONs will die. totally and utterly. Few people piss me off. VERY few. Not even GNW pissed me off.

What did you guys do in July of '06?

What did you guys do in July of '06?

It was apparently regarding a signature on the GF.com forums.  Back before goonfleet was formed, some Eve Online hero type named Smoske had gotten really high/drunk/something, jumped on his moped/motorcycle/something of that nature, and managed to kill himself by running into a truck on the autobahn. 

Two guys went to whichever system this Smoske dudes corp tended to hang out with two ships named "Smoske" and "Truck," or something very similar, and sat outside of the station running into each other saying "beep beep I'm a truck," etc. 

A guy on the GF.com forums, Tetsujin,  had an ASCII-ish type signature that sorta...commemorated...this thing, and when he started a thread on CAOD about something (not Smoske), someone there got all offended by his signature on GF.com.  Someone linked the sig on GF.com earlier this week...I'll see if I can find it, and if so, I'll post it here. 

Edit:  Here's the thread he started on CAOD:  http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=369940   Post 48 on page 2 is where the outrage starts.

Edit2:  The sig: 

You see, GoonFleet is a lot like a truck in that BEEP BEEP   >-|O <--smoske

That's it.  That's what started all this bullshit.    That sig right there is why Molle ordered BoB to invade Syndicate and camp GoonFleet into the station (or at least it's what he used as his excuse).

You gotta love the goons.

[CountDeMoney]

You gotta love the goons.

No, actually you don't.

[grumbler]

It was a pretty tasteless sig, but the guy backed off right away and apologized, so what can you do?
