Mutonizer 78 Posted May 23, 2012 There is no "their guilt". LLJK isn't a clan, it's people from the same forum that use a tag to recognize other people from the same forum. There's no organization, no leadership, no-one to "control" what other people from the forum are doing. Why should everyone from something awful (A little more than 160.000 people at the time of writing) be held accountable for what a few are doing?Actively staying in an organization that requires you to signup (and pay) for membership, means you accept that everything any member does, as something you agree with. If they do it, YOU are also responsible. The only exception, is when it's publicly denounced via some press release or something alike. Since you have, from what you're saying, no leadership, well...For example, if someone pays membership to a news organization that is known to allow some of their reporters to use very illegal and nasty ways of investigation, with lies, slander, spying and whatnot, he actively supports them and is therefore responsible for their behavior from the moment he knows about it to the moment he stops being a member. Exact same thing applies here.On top of that, SA is well known for it's...let's say "behavior" over the years and apart from members of the Goons, I have yet to read, see or hear anything from them that is not overall detrimental and destructive to others in games. That reputation (true or false at the start) might however have been luring players with specific behaviors into it, making it truer than ever now.I'm not judging, but coming here and saying that the Goons and SA is all nice and fluffy is bullshit in a can. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or boxcars. On a train to their own camp. With their own special tags on their chests so you can lump them all together and hate them all for the few who may deserve it.I'm not saying there aren't asshole Goons, there totally are. You're probably not far off that some of them derive joy from the angst/frustration you have when they pee in your playground. But there are rules-abiding ones too, and a lot of them. Lay the blame at the feet of the account-holder.Goons don't really give a shit what other goons do, in general. The forum has rules that do not extend into real life. They are not a race of people that you can herd into your ban chambers because of their forum preference or the tag on them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you work for a shitty corporation like Enron, and beyond being an employee you legally change your name to ENRON-Bob, you are condoning their behavior.If you shop at Walmart because it's cheap, but dislike some of their practices, well, you're the average consumer.However, rename yourself WALMART-Jane and yes, you are embracing those shady practices.There is a difference between visiting something awful and declaring you are a part of it. Taking on a name linked to bad behavior has meaning, just like being in a guild in an MMO has meaning. You go with this group, you like this group, you are PART of that group.

If you don't like being branded a sink shitter, maybe you should just quit your job!!Wrong example...My turn: If you are a member of a multinational corporation with 170,000 employees and as a corporation they do not condemn illegal actions (and related) from some of their employees, you are personally responsible if you don't do shit about it, yes.And for information, I did quit jobs because of how the company or other employees behaved (and were not condemned for it). It might be some old bushido bullshit to you, I don't mind.If you shop at Walmart because it's cheap, but dislike some of their practices, well, you're the average consumer.No you're not, you're condoning their practices, which can only be applied and enforced by them BECAUSE you keep buying there. If you're just visiting Walmart, that's cool however of course.I joined something awful to read funny threads about people shitting their pants at work and building home made flamethrowers. I really don't give a shit what other goons do, and I am not responsible for it, regardless of whatever glorious bushido edict you feel "organizations" should follow.Something awful is a tribe, a clan, a closed community. There are "in" people and "out" people, us and them. I never had any problems with SA because they are "enclosed" within their forums, which I don't use, therefore am not affected. If you don't go around with goons, wearing goon tag and what not, you're not a Goon, you're just a SA member and I don't think anyone has a problem with that really.We could go on for hours discussing this, so I'll just stop there I think, because this thread is turning into something it's not, sorry for that. However, since DayZ is meant to be an experiment, I'm sure we're not done discussing the relationships between those part of the tribes, and those not.

If your name tag is [GameExploits.com] McGee it's reasonable that most would take you at face value, since you chose to associate yourself with a forum community known for exploiting.If that site has a sub-forum focused on pottery, it's not very relevant to the perception you *chose* to give to others.

myarse 0 Posted May 23, 2012 "It's not rocket surgeory"A bunch of goons are building a real life maned rocket, after building a working submarine.
