But it is batshit insane dude. If you wall yourself off from data to such an extent that nothing will get you change your mind that is pretty nutso.
Uhhhh you can’t disprove his statements. Not too him. Any evidence provided becomes proof of the conspiracy. So there is literally no evidence. None. Either it supports his claims, or it is tainted fruit provided by the conspirators themselves and is in turn proof of the conspiracy.
That is what is wrong with conspiracy theories. Talking about them like they are any old hypothesis simply does not work because they aren’t.
So what? We aren’t talking about a broken clock, we are talking about somebody who believes there is a vast secret conspiracy to somehow keep Goons on top and protect their RMT empire…so much so that a multi-million dollar corporation will kill itself doing so…and Goons RMT empire. It is just all completely nuts.
I never claimed otherwise.
Careful you’ll get lumped in with the rest of us conspirators soon.
Oh for the love of God…
What you don’t like ISK? And not only that they are importing vastly more in terms of ISK than their ratting income. To do that Goons must be creating considerable value elsewhere in the game too and using that ISK to fund the imports.
He was not stable to begin with given his belief in a conspiracy theory.
Believe what you want, but there is a problem with this, namely…
See, this is the danger of conspiracy thinking. You begin to see it every where. I am nobody in Goons. I know this will be waved off as well, but it is true. I moved over to Amok. because EXE went dormant and lots of EXE guys moved to Amok. Since we were aligned with Goons and I knew how they worked as a group and coalition and since they are quite active I decided to follow some of the EXE guys. That’s the great secret of how Teckos Pech became a Goon.
But the intent of my post is purely one of economics and perhaps to stir the pot a bit. I have seen people getting worried/upset by the MERs and Goon farming in Delve. Even I would look at the quickly and notice the the bar charts for mining and ratting and think, “Hmmm, will that be allowed to continue.” But the last one (November) I was looking at the ISK supply, and the numbers in more detail when I noticed the net imports number. I realized that this implied Goons are promoting alot of economic activity outside of Delve (i.e. beyond what they are doing). And that much of that activity was probably by non-Goons and non-Goon alts (227 trillion ISK worth of economic activity is an awful lot of economic activity for Goon alts…unless there are only Goons and Goon alts in game). I knew that given the natural inclination of “grrrr Goons” that making this post would likely get some replies. That’s it. All your theorizing about agendas, rorquals, etc…well they are wrong.
Conspiracy theory is not constructive posting ever. It is worse than trolling as it is not done for laughs or amusement, but because the person has views that dogmatic. Dinsdale will never change his views. Ever.
