My guess is that Goonswarm have been trying to look as honest as they possibly can. 

Its all an elaborate troll, see The Mittani. Search EvE forums.

 

The Mittani is the CEO of Goonswarm. If you read Goonswarm's Wikipedia, which is written by Mittani et al, you will find that every page has the same conclusion: Goonswarm are the glorious heros, and everyone else are a bunch of losers. It's a good example of biased writing. Your suggestion is similar to asking Lenin to give an accurate account of the Cold War.

 

Lenin died in 1924, the cold war didn't start until 1945. Terrible analogy.

Ok, how about Joseph Goebbels spreading propaganda about World War II?

A great number of corps have a no pirating, no scamming, no thieving, and no history with the Goons policy.

There are a few like that.   Most of the people in EVE refer to them as victims.

Because you are annonymous, we don't really know what label suits you best. However, you could be a Goon and therefore deserving of all the bad labels that go with that.

The fact that you were even looking to join up with them says it all. You deserve to get scammed.

You just made my point while failing to see it.

I don't quite understand what point you're trying to make - if you could re-phrase it, I would be grateful. However, I suspect you might be a Goon who's trying to be subtle or clever in some way.

You don't have to be a goon to be clever or subtle, also look me up on www.evewho.com I am in fact not a goon, and goons would actually shoot at me.

2 billion?  That's a pretty weak haul. 

You got scammed, you aren't the first, you didn't get hit the hardest(not even close) and you certainly won't be the last.

Threads like these are truely what fuel GoonSwam's members - not the scam itself.

Dear fellow pilots

Have you ever wanted to go to war with a powerful alliance that is evil and has no integrity?

Well, it’s your lucky day.

Goonswarm Federation have a well organised scam that involves a website setup for the purpose of scamming.

If your alliance is in a coalition with Goonswarm Federation, you have to ask yourself, “Can I really trust them?”. The answer is “No”, and here is the evidence.

Just when you’re on the brink of being accepted into Goonswarm, they ask for a 2,000,000,000 ISK deposit. (The recruitment officer, Sordeo Regius, says it’s refundable in a month unless you are involved with spying activity.)

Here is a screenshot of the Goonswarm website arranging the scam:

Out of interest, here is a screenshot of the scammer – once he has scammed you, you are blocked from contacting him:

Personally, I am not annoyed by Goonswarm. Until now, Eve was getting rather boring – it felt as if every alliance was the same.

Every alliance seemed equally good and evil.

However, Goonswarm Federation are making a point of being the ‘bad guys’ of Eve.

Surely, every pod pilot who has a moral conscience, and has always wanted to fight the good fight against evil should rally against Goonswarm.

It is time to pod Goonswarm

only way for you to get invited into goonswarm is, only if you know them in real life, or 2 you know someone in the actual corp for a while. although i hate to say it, that is how eve universe is. so you just have to be alot smarter next time. i personally love the mechanics of eve, because they don't limit you to anything. you rely on your self for survivability in eve. that is why not many people can get into the game, simply because its far to complex for other peoples mind out their. i wish they worked more on pve content of eve though, it would be so awsome if they did. i think it would bring in alot more people into the game. anyways sorry for your loss. it happends to all of us, not scamming maybe, but hauling shit and then getting jumped etc... oh and i would def love to see a corp get together to take down goons, a buncha goodies vrs evil. i would def sign up for it :) 

Lol, anyone with a brain who's been playing Eve for at least a month knows that Goonswarm's entire personal mandate is to f*ck over as many players as they possibly can in every way imaginable, and when you see a note saying "Pay us 2 billion to join us"...you fall for it? And you've been playing since 2003?

Wow.

I guess the "with a brain" part of that last statement doesn't apply to you? Seriously. Don't be stupid. There was nothing that forced you to send that money, you chose to send it of your own free will, so it's your own damn fault for falling for it.

As for the "call to war", go away. Eve openly allows players to do what Goonswarm does, and does not hide that fact. It's a videogame. If some people get enjoyment out of being an ass in a videogame, as long as there are adequate protection measures in the videogame to prevent those players from running roughshod over everyone else (which there are, with Concord's involvement in Hisec and the fact that you have to directly click on a button before you send anyone anything and therefore you can stop yourself at any time), they are free to do it. Stuff like what Goonswarm does, and learning to avoid those scams, makes you smarter. I say let Goonswarm do what they do; it weeds out the whiny idiots that do nothing but contaminate the Eve universe with their carebear-tear strewn blather.

Goons didn't have to make BoB look bad because BoB was run by a megalomaniac with sycophant underlings for alliance officer all of whom were complete self-absorbed d-bags.

While Goon's are hardly angels (aka good guys) that doesn't mean other major alliances were saints either. In fact in EVE there are no "Good Guys" period because everyone is busy trying to screw everyone else and be on the cutting edge of internet spaceship "cool".

People still fall for this kind of shit?

Goons are awesome. One of many reasons.

That's because they've recently implemented a change in policy to charge 4 bil for membership instead.  If you send him an additional 2 bil, he will accept your application.

I don't need membership - the unthinkable has happened...

I've been set blue with the Goons!

I assure you I'm not.

When I joined Intrepid Crossing, they had experienced bad things with the Goons as well.

I'm intrigued to know how we became blue with the Goons.

IRC is like a nature reserve for goons, fyi goons sometimes shoot blues. See connection?

Actually, no - I don't think the Goons shoot blues, generally speaking. I know there have been occasional exceptions though.

But anyway, I don't fly cap ships, so I don't have that much to lose anyway. I'm not bothered either way.
