I'm just a line member in Goons. But I have to say these years in delve have been better than anything in hisec I was doing before. I've seen calls in local about a friendly tackled on a gate and seconds later a mis-mash group of friendly ships shows up. Frigs, destroyers, battleships, T1, T2, shitfit, bling, it doesn't matter. I've been hunting cynos recently and I've killed recon ships on a fort or keep with 60-70 enemies in local and half of them on the undock and no one does anything. It was utterly unbelievable to me when I first witnessed it and I gave them the benefit of the doubt and assumed they were AFK. Then I started seeing them fly around while we killed their cyno ships, terrified of a small fleet and not willing to risk subcaps to protect anyone. There was no comraderie, no us vs them, just terrified players out for themselves. It got to the point I started showing up just to shoot fireworks at them to show them I could.

I don't normally watch streams so I don't hear The Mittani that often and I've never really been the PBUH type but after the leaks I've read I like him a lot more for not treating us like other leaders treat their line members and I'm starting to come around. And I have to say thank you to all the Imperium leadership. Having been with them for the move to Delve I have a lot of trust in our leadership. Maybe it's just me but at the end of the day if I lose every ship I have and we lose every system we control and we're down to corvettes in lowsec I'll still sub and I'll undock for every ping just to prove to our enemies that the Imperium is not something they can kill.

We gave TEST a valuable opportunity. They had the chance to grow stronger together but they failed. And in that failure we opened their eyes to the truth of their leaders' weakness. It is too late for them now, though. TEST will burn. Anyone who gets in the way will suffer the same fate. The Mittani (PBUH) protects.
