Fireside Chat Transcript 2024 12 21
Asher Elias:
Hello, hello, hello, hello, my friend. Alright, how y'all doing? Good morning to you, Koahi. Sana_chise, sorry about your lump of coal. Unless that's what you wanted. Hikare says he's drunk. I'm hoping that you're not, like, in the American time zone, because it is a little early to be drunk. Yeah, I am a bit under the weather, Ymir. Ymir, however you say it. I'm getting over something now. Uh, yeah, Brisc wants me to let you guys know that he did have a funny joke in Ilum. So he has, he has reached his, uh, his quota of one funny joke a year. Just nipped it in there.
Ranger Gama:
He actually did a really good one too.
Asher Elias:
Cassador said it is past 8am, so it is not too early.
Kazanir, I think, I think Jameson is probably like, you know, the most versatile, best overall bottle of scotch you can grab if you're not going something like, you know, or I should say whiskey, um, you can get. If you're not looking for it to go with some really, really fancy.
Kazanir:
Right. I agree with that actually. I have it for a different reason and I found it in the garage. So it's probably like a year old now, but it's alcohol, right? Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Yeah.
Brisc Rubal:
You are 100 percent correct. Jameson goes with everything and it's acceptable to mix.
Ranger Gama:
Put it in the freezer, Kaz. Then it's ice cold and still burns at the same time. It's pretty awesome.
Asher Elias:
Congratulations on getting your 5 million isk.
Kazanir's voice makes me think of bacon. I think Freud would have a lot to say about that. I don't understand why, but that's interesting.
Snipereagle1:
I love Iceberg's, uh, comment on Scotch here. Lafrogger, die. Whiskey tastes best when it can be confused with a house fire.
Asher Elias:
Dude, I'm a fan of...
Brisc Rubal:
Well, I'm a Lagaville fan.
Oh, uh, Moab, uh, Fisher Island. Interesting question. Yeah. I'd say Fisher Island.
Snipereagle1:
If I wanted to taste dirt, I have a silverware drawer in a backyard.
Asher Elias:
I'm going to say something, uh, you know, controversial yet so brave. I don't like beer. I never have. I just don't enjoy beer in any way. Yep. This always gets the people going.
Kazanir:
We can definitely say rest in piss, Da Baschti.
Asher Elias:
Yep.
Beyondnoxx_UNP:
I am still laughing.
Asher Elias:
Alright, uh, let me get into the holiday, uh, final fireside. So just to remind you guys, there will be no fireside, uh, next week. Our directors have the weekend off as far as no meetings, anything like that so people can enjoy the holidays. Uh, the final side. I like that tie on. That's good.
Alright, uh, let me go ahead and tell you guys what we got on the agenda. Then I'll take your questions, then we'll give some holiday wishes, and then we'll be done. Um, and, uh, let's see. Uh, yeah.
So no move ops for the rest of the year. That is part of our break. Uh, they'll go back on the calendar once they resume. Um, probably in the middle of January is, uh, when the move ops will resume.
Uh, we do have a, our first Locust fleet, and I believe the first one is January 10th. Uh, so it's a little, uh, Yeah, thank you. That's a little later. Uh, the reason we did that is because, um, the January 3rd, I believe, is the the first one that we could have done, and we were thinking a lot of people would be out of town, drunk, hungover, that kind of thing. So, uh, Locust Fleet is going back to the old Locust Fleet, uh, and I will explain what it is for you, fira_denon_hamu. Um, basically, this is where, for one weekend, we will go and we will just hoover up all the rocks. Um, And that will, uh, put, um, uh, like every mining ship, um, we're moving beehive in that area, basically all of our crabbing, we'll go to this one area. So if, and it'll be very nice moons popping, right? So you're going to be able to make a lot of money, um, and, uh, in one weekend, so that'll be January 10th and then the next one will be February 7th, so, uh, and then basically every month after that we'll be doing it once a month, that will be the locust fleet. Uh, so we're going back to the old locust where we actually are like locusts. There will be boosts if you're going to be, if you don't have like a, a Rorq, so, um, if you don't normally mine cause you don't have a whole crew, but you want to do it for this weekend, a lot of people will end up doing that.
https://goonfleet.com/index.php/topic/342958-sig-locust/
Um, Secret Santa. We had more Secret Santa signups, uh, for the main one than ever before. We had a, an immense amount of Secret Santa, um, uh, signups and a bunch of other people areare participating. If you need help with anything in Secret Santa, being, um, you know, if you want some advice on what to get someone, like, that, uh, there are elves to help you, and... [mumble crashes]
Alright, I played the game where I tried to unmute myself. While it's moving.
Apple Pear:
Yeah, that's always a nice game.
Beyondnoxx_UNP:
Mumble Boy upset about Ashers.
Heidi ZXC:
Search for your name.
Asher Elias:
Jaxom, no, it went down for me. I could tell it was down. I didn't keep rambling on. Anyway, secret_santa on Jabber. If you need help coming up with a gift, there are elves there who help you if the person didn't make a post or you just want some advice, uh, you can go there as well. And if you have deadbeats, you can go there as well. If you have a deadbeat, that is okay. We will take care of you. Please remember, uh, give people a couple of days after Christmas, at least before you deadbeat them. Uh, I believe personally that gifts should be delivered on Christmas day. So I will be giving mine on Christmas day, for instance. Um, but yes. Secret_Santa on Jabber.
And then, let's see. We've got, uh, fleets on Christmas and New Year's Day. Uh, those are being run by Ranger Gamma. So there's a chance to, Man, I'm, did you really write this Ranger? I'm not gonna read this. Alright, I'll read it.
This is a chance to hang out if you want to chillax with your fellow nerds.
Ranger Gama:
You said you would read anything that was put into the channel verbatim.
Asher Elias:
I, I did. I did.
Ranger Gama:
Uh, but yeah, guys, that's just a chance if you need to get away from the family or just want to hang around with your space nerds. We'll, we'll do that. We'll just be on comms having a good time. Chatting it up, throwing snowballs at each other, and then do the same thing on New Year's.
Asher Elias:
Alright, and uh, on a, on a more serious note, you know guys, uh, I am one of those people who has a lot of holiday cheer, and uh, have a great time, uh, during the holidays. Uh, but for some people it can be a really lonely, and, and, you know, sad time for them. Um, so, you know, be kind to your fellow goon, be kind to your fellow Imperium mates, uh, if you can be around, if you are one of those people who you're feeling lonely on the holidays, we are all here to hang out with you, to spend time with you, you know, find these people, they're here. I know Merkelchen was talking about how he'll be doing a stream, um, and just, there's plenty of places to hang out and, and be with your fellow nerds. So, um, we want you to have a happy holidays. And, and if you, uh, see someone who's looking a little lonesome, spend some time with them. I like that.
All right, I got some, uh, for a few questions and then, uh, we'll say, uh, Merry Christmas to y'all. Go ahead and throw questions in there.
Will Delve 911 be available over the holidays? Yes, it will.
Assalient is working on Christmas Day. All right. Sorry, brother.
When are we gonna ban PI? Oh, that's spicy. Uh, no plans right now, but you know. Anything could happen, I guess.
Beyondnoxx_UNP:
Heresy.
Asher Elias:
Will we get a Fortizar in each ice system we own? I need to park a Rorq somewhere. Uh, so I think probably eventually it'll happen, but it's not high on our priority list right this moment.
When INIT goes neutral, do we shoot? Uh, yeah, so I, I said this before, uh, I don't want to, like, actively hunt them, but if they're shooting you, you know, you're, you're, we're not, like, saying don't shoot them. We're just saying, you know, don't go actively after them.
Snipereagle1:
You need to calm down a little bit, Asher. You sounded a little panicky there.
Asher Elias:
Thank you. Yeah, I should probably give some context. I should give some context to that. For, uh, for people who don't get the spy relay, um, a couple weeks ago, I think it was, when I got asked the same question and basically said the same thing, Gobbins sent out like a ping saying, uh, you know, listen to Asher's panicked answer when someone asks about Initiative. And, which, interesting spin mastering, but then he included a recording, which was the surprising part to me, in which I'm very much not panicked, I just sound like I normally do. So, uh, we've been, we've been pretty much making fun of him about what he thinks is panicking the whole time. My panicked answer. So that's why I sounded so panicked there as well, but that was, uh, we were talking about it afterwards. We're like, if you're going to spin master and say, you know, he was really panicked, why would you include the recording that immediately proves you wrong? Like we didn't understand what the thought process was. Like, if you're going to lie to people, don't give them the evidence. Um, but you know, it, it made, it made it for us to, you know, have a laugh for us. So. It's good.
All right. More questions.
Beyondnoxx_UNP:
Asher, do you want me to blow your mind real quick?
Asher Elias:
Sure.
Beyondnoxx_UNP:
When you log on to Mumble, you can control F, search your name, and unmute that way.
Asher Elias:
Someone's told me this before. Yeah, I've heard this before Beyond, and I just forget it when it actually happens.
Beyondnoxx_UNP:
Fair enough.
Asher Elias:
Yeah, Darth. I think that's the answer. I think that most people won't actually click it. And so you can just say whatever you want, and it sounds like, you know, you're backing it up. Because like Reddit, people don't read the articles, they just read the headline.
Internet night says, Asher, when was the last time you took time to do some CRABs? Uh, I think I crabbed about a week ago.
Can we steal an INIT ESS if we filament there? Yeah. Like we're, there's no, we're resetting, there's no particular rules. I, I would just encourage you guys not to go, uh, and look for them, but there's no, yeah.
Is there a timeframe for moons being open for Alt Corp Athenors? Um, I thought that was very soon. I don't know. A finance nerd can answer that question specifically. Yeah. Yeah. Tariel that is correct. All right. So Kazanir says we'll have an ASAP.
By the way, guys, this is essentially the last week we can get any kind of, you know, low blows about my college football team, not making the playoffs. So if you were, if you're saving up any of those, you want to throw them out there now, uh, this is the time cause it'll be, it'll be too late. Uh, it'll be too late in a couple of weeks.
Ranger Gama:
Until next year.
Snipereagle1:
Brisc dunked him pretty hard in Illum, so.
Asher Elias:
Yeah. I don't really care that much about the phins there, Lord Jason. I mean, I'm a fan, but if you want to get me, get me on the Hurricanes. Yeah, Ymir, do I have a college football team? I went to the University of Miami and I'm a pretty big fan of them. I'm watching the playoffs on the second monitor while we do the meetings and while I do the fireside.
Tarriel, what have you been, you've been saying the Brisc mic thing like three times. I feel like there's some sort of meme you're trying to push here, but I'm not on board or in on it.
Yeah, SMU is looking real shook right now, Vogg.
But Brisc's mic is always good, so I don't know why. Is this like the Asher, you're not talking thing? Am I, am I just totally ruining it? I don't know. Nah, it's bad. Okay. That sounds makes, that makes sense Locusti.
History with Asher update. Um, what was history with Asher? We were going to do, oh, you're talking about the, uh, talking about the, uh, the EVE history one that I worked on. Didn't I tell you? Yeah. Yeah. The hard drive with the script died. Yeah. It's pretty brutal. I haven't, I haven't really worked on it since then.
Can we get an update on the hard drive situation. I have not got a new one. Uh, I have not reinstalled the games that were on that hard drive, like Baldur's Gate. I don't know if I have my saves or not. Maybe Steam saved them? I don't know. We'll see.
When are the Isogen anomalies coming back, asks Calvin. Um, So, I don't get plans on Isogen because there are other minerals that are more important.
Apple Pear:
Is there not, like, one of the anomalies that has, like, a secondary shitload of Isogen in it?
Asher Elias:
That is my understanding.
Snipereagle1:
Zydrine.
Asher Elias:
Someone that's smarter, uh, can comment on why it's arranged the way it is. But, but that's what I heard from the smart people.
Snipereagle1:
Yeah. So basically what happened is like, CCP reduced the isogen in like battleships and some other things. And, uh, like the, there's a, the mineral. The mineral landscape is weird right now, um, but the most expensive thing tends to be Megacyte, and then we also have the Zydrine anoms, which also give isogen. Um, but yeah, we're shifting those around to match what the market is missing. Um, it's a balance of what the market is missing and what sites are, like, good money to mine, because sure, we're missing like, pyrite, but we put in a bunch of pyrite upgrades as that crunch started happening, and nobody mined them, so we took them out, and now they're getting mined again.
Asher Elias:
Alright, that's a pretty comprehensive answer. And then, um, correct me if I'm wrong, Sniper, but when the R4s come online, we should be getting some minerals from that too, right?
Snipereagle1:
That'll help a bit, yeah.
Asher Elias:
Yeah.
Snipereagle1:
But largely, it's just that, like, we get to pick what we mine, so now there's no more, like, uh, you know, there's, there's no more bistot.
Asher Elias:
There's no more incidental, right, yeah. That makes sense, yeah.
What is the best app to use to manage manufacturing and assign slots? Asks Internet Knight. I am not the person to answer this, but I'm sure someone can tell you.
Ranger Gama:
Spreadsheet.
Asher Elias:
Where can we find Mercoxit? Most of the systems are out of the belt. Isn't that a major problem right now? Uh, Mercoxit?
Snipereagle1:
Yes. Yeah, so there's no, there's not like a Merc upgrade. There's apparently some Merc site, but, and then there's some in the, uh, like when you get the mining escalation, there'll be some in that as well, but yeah, it's definitely, uh, that is part of the problem as well.
Asher Elias:
Kazanir says Merc sites can randomly spawn in any system which has a major mining upgrade, otherwise get to Pochven and the escalations. X-up if you've got a mining escalation, I'm interested. How many of you guys have got a mining escalation so far? Not a ton of X's, interesting, okay. Our corp has gotten many of them. Corp has gotten three. Leah, man, how do you say your name? Leon Tinka Valentine has gotten four of them. Duren's done 57 anoms, not a single one. Are you counting how many anoms you're doing, Duren? How do you know this information? Some of you guys are giant nerds, so I just want to say this. Speaking as a giant nerd, the fact that you guys track this stuff is beyond me. A fucking course recount? Says Sharp. Yeah, no, I know I'm a nerd. That's what I'm saying. So when I say that you're a nerd, like a big nerd, it really means something. Like, if I have some sort of Chad Thundercock doing squats and calling you a nerd, well, that's not really, you know, the same thing, is it? Although squats are a great workout, guys.
Uh, what is my favorite MTG color combination? Orzov, blue and white. I like control.
Let me ask you guys, let's, let's, let's get an X up. Uh, X if you work out zero times a week. All right, okay. This is good information. I'm not gonna judge you immediately. Throw a Y if you work out two or more times a week.
Yeah, did I say Orzhov, Matahashi? I think I did. I meant Azorius, yeah.
Why aren't you nerds dead? All right, all right. Might be time to pimp a swol swarm a little bit.
Hey, Assalient, like, looking at some of these Xs, at least once a week is better than nothing.
This imperium leader gets magic the gathering color combination wrong once.
Kazevops says I got Christmas plans? Yeah, just having, uh, hanging out with the family, gonna make some ham, some mashed potatoes, corn. You know how it goes. Open some gifts.
Uh, I have participated in Secret Santa. I do not know if I've got any gifts. If you are a person who's giving to me, please give me on December 25th.
When do you open gifts? Uh, usually 25th in the afternoon. By the way, let me give you guys a, an exhortation. If you got older relatives, please give them a call on, on Christmas or the holidays that you sort. It, it, it's really important to them. We're gonna have a, this is the wholesome fireside. Please call your relatives. Makes them really happy.
Oh, you're one of these 24th Christmas gift people? Come on, grow up.
How am I old, Rachel? What, what confirms that?
What if relatives are awful? I mean, I don't know how awful they are. If they're just annoying, Joshua, you gotta deal with it. Most, most relatives can be annoying, but you should call them anyway.
Some people, like Assalient, are the old relative. Please give him a call. Oh, yeah, Crainer, that's a good point. Who, you know, accidentally you have a, like a Christmas birthday, or like a, Boxing Day or New Year's, or because it's Christmas Day. Uh, like a couple unlucky people.
Have I seen Moana 2 yet? I have not seen Moana 2. Did you guys end up seeing Gladiator? Did you like it? I was, I was somewhat disappointed by it, to be honest. And I really, I really love Ridley Scott too, and Gladiator is one of my favorite movies. And I found the movie itself, uh, pretty disappointing.
Apple Pear:
I heard a lot of people were not really excited about it, so.
Asher Elias:
Yeah, I think maybe you go in there with lower expectations, it'll be, it'll be good. Christopher Nolan said it was his favorite movie of the year, which was interesting to me, because I think Christopher Nolan's a very good director. So he really liked it, which I did not see it, but you know, uh, there you go. No spoilers. We're not giving out any spoilers.
Deadpool and Wolverine, Deathpool says Moab. Uh, I think it's Deadpool, but Deadpool and Wolverine was better. Yes, was better.
GrapesizeNuts, great name by the way, you watch Joker 2 voluntarily?
Snipereagle1:
I haven't seen it yet, but I'm really disappointed because like, the first Joaquin Phoenix Joker was fantastic.
Asher Elias:
You know what it is, Sniper? It's what happens when you hate your audience. That's clearly what happened. He, he did not like that people enjoyed Joker on its own terms, rather than the terms that he wanted, and so he, it was literally a fuck you to his audience. Spite is the worst motivator for creativity. That's a great line Darth Kilith.
Uh, Asher, what's your favorite cartoon? I, as you know, I'm a big anime fan, so all of them. Oh yeah, did you guys watch the Superman teaser trailer? It looks really good. Oh, shit, I did, I did declare anime is no longer cartoons, dammit! RIP them. Hoisted on my own petard. Anyway, the, the new Superman, if you haven't seen the teaser trailer yet, uh, go watch it. It looks, it looks pretty darn good. Like, it's like an actual comic book movie, not like, uh, a gritty reboot. In the future. Speaking of disappointing, let us not talk about Picard thematic, oh my goodness. I got, I got baited. I, I didn't watch it because I knew it'd be terrible, Picard I'm talking about, and then my friend who is not a Star Trek fan said, Oh, you really should watch it. It actually was very good. And then I watched it and it was terrible, like I expected. And I told my friend, he goes, Oh, dude, I was high as fuck when I said that. I don't know why I said that. I'm sorry.
Apple Pear:
Maybe because he didn't watch Star Trek before, he didn't know what to expect.
Asher Elias:
Yeah, maybe. Uh, EMP. We don't, we don't get rid of a friend for making a bad recommendation.
You were hoisted onto your own Picard. Good job there, Ceema.
Someone is shouting me out. Asher told me he doesn't like Carl Sagan. Yeah, I just don't have a big Carl Sagan nerd boner like some people do.
Apple Pear:
And then, and then Neil deGrasse Tyson, then.
Asher Elias:
No, no. I mean, I'm definitely not. I don't have that poor of taste.
Tariel, I did see your presentation on why Lord of the Rings is a Christmas movie, and I liked it. I shared it with someone else.
Rose says, Asher Elias, do you like memes? Uh, sure, sometimes. Funny.
Locusti, I like that. Neil deGrasse Titan. I am Neil deGrasse Titan. That's good. Someone should do Neil deGrasse Titan as their, uh, their pilot name. If they're rolling up a new Titan pilot.
Snipereagle1:
I would be shocked if that doesn't already exist.
Asher Elias:
Probably. Yeah, but, but Titan, you know. I am Titan, but Neil deGrasse Titan.
Snipereagle1:
Oh, yeah.
Beyondnoxx_UNP:
Both exist.
Asher Elias:
Wow, okay. Sephiroth says people having an opinion on Carl Sagan are doxing themselves as being super old. What's next, Joseph Campbell? I don't know who Joseph Campbell is, so I believe you.
Ever played Space Quest? I don't know what it is. I have not.
How much money have Incursions lost the Alliance this month? So I don't think Incursions loses money anymore at all. I believe it's totally self funded at this point. But, uh, we used to, uh, we used to pay for them. Sounds like you're upset about that, Anuv.
Dude, SeaQuest, that is a throwback, Jebez. The Talking Dolphin, 10 of 10. That's probably a show you should not go back and watch. I almost guarantee you that it is terrible, but I have fond memories of when I was a youth, a very young child, enjoying the hell out of that show.
Apple Pear:
Flipper.
Asher Elias:
Flipper, yes.
Apple Pear:
That's the Talking Dolphin.
Asher Elias:
Well done. Thank you for that.
Apple Pear:
You're welcome.
Asher Elias:
Flipper was the talking dolphin.
Snipereagle1:
Nice, we can write it down that Apple got one pop culture reference this year.
Asher Elias:
But it wasn't even correct though. We were talking about Sequest, which was not Flipper.
Apple Pear:
No, but he said SeaQuest and then talking dolphin.
Asher Elias:
Because there was You gotta know, Apple, this is really important. They had trained dolphins on the SeaQuest DSV. They had a pool. And the dolphins had, like, little attachments on their head. And they could, like, psychically talk to people on the SeaQuest DSV.
Apple Pear:
Probably Sequest was not in a country watchable because not all the shows from those days. We didn't have streaming those days that we could watch everything that was there.
Asher Elias:
I'm, I'm unlocking some core memory on it for some people here. The new Battlestar Galactica, by the way Richodemus, this is how you know you're old because the new Battlestar Galactica is 20 years old. There are literally goons at this fireside that are younger than the new Battlestar Galactica.
Beyondnoxx_UNP:
You just made everyone feel so old. Yes, it is.
Snipereagle1:
Oh, God.
Ranger Gama:
Thanks for that Asher. I really needed that today. Thank you.
Asher Elias:
Cassador, I could not talk about this on the fireside. The woman who did LSD and had romantic relations with a dolphin. But if you guys want to read a weird story, Uh, let's see. How would you Google this?
Beyondnoxx_UNP:
Don't Google that.
Asher Elias:
Open up in private. Open up a private browser tab. And Google search dolphin.
Ranger Gama:
Maybe power up your VPN first.
Asher Elias:
Yeah. Okay. The doctor who jerked off dolphins. So just, just hit enter and see where that takes you.
Ranger Gama:
Please don't do that at your work, computer.
Beyondnoxx_UNP:
Just want to point out that the term vintage applies to anything that is exactly 20 years old or older.
Asher Elias:
Hmm.
Beyondnoxx_UNP:
So, Battlestar Galactica, Battlestar Galactica is a vintage TV show now.
Asher Elias:
By the way, that, that, I did rewatch recently. That series still holds up. You just watch the first two and a half seasons and then you're done with it.
Is My Chemical Romance classic rock? Uh..
Beyondnoxx_UNP:
Vintage rock.
Asher Elias:
Yeah, it's pretty interesting. What were they, like, 2007 was when that came out? So that's pretty close to it, yeah. It is really weird to me seeing, like, the youths wearing, like, Nirvana t-shirts. I feel like this must be, like, how my parents felt when we wore, like, a Pink Floyd t-shirt, because we had just discovered Pink Floyd.
Snipereagle1:
Can't wait till Skrillex's classical music.
Asher Elias:
Ha ha ha, man. Is Fallout Boy vintage? Uh, I would say yes. Really? I know that's a controversial opinion, I missed Dubstep. Dubstep was pretty good. Eve is a vintage video game, that's true, yeah.
Apple Pear:
Basshunter playing Eve.
Asher Elias:
Oh yeah, Basshunter was a goon for a while, wasn't he?
Apple Pear:
Yeah, he was.
Asher Elias:
That's funny. It'd be interesting to see who the most famous goon ever was, you know, who was that?
Like, I guarantee you there's someone out there who we don't know about. There was always that rumor that Henry Cavill played Eve.
Kazanir:
There's an ex goon, uh, who's very popular, and, yeah, he's a poster on politics twitter. Let's put it that way.
Asher Elias:
Okay, uh, Scott Manley would definitely...
Kazanir:
Scott Manley might be the most well known, yeah.
Asher Elias:
Yeah. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Scott Manley was a good. Yep. I mean, I imagine Basshunter would qualify. He's probably of all the people I said, like probably the person that the most people in the world would know that person's name probably.
Kazanir:
Right. Implicitly, we're talking about people who are famous in some other way than, than because of Eve. Right. Yeah. There are a few.
Asher Elias:
Yeah. If you don't know who Scott Manley is, he does like mostly space videos. He's a YouTuber. Done quite well. Micromancer, that's a great, that's a great answer.
Beyondnoxx_UNP:
Uh, Pirate Software.
Asher Elias:
Bro, that guy was not a goon, and by the way, like, uh, I can't take anything that guy says seriously after seeing his videos on EVE, man. Like, he, everything he says is inaccurate and wrong, and it seems like he's just lying. So I'm just gonna presume that that's true about every other video that he does.
Kazanir:
I couldn't take him seriously after his diplomatic history in the Imperium.
Asher Elias:
Yeah, I know. But like, not everyone has access to that, but everyone can see his videos about Eve and just see what nonsense they are.
Apple Pear:
And he's like way too sure, arrogant, or like, that, that, that feel about himself. Like that, that's just like, oh man, that just puts me off.
Asher Elias:
People who run alliances play the game less. That is true, Sephiroth. You don't have, uh, you just have less time to actually play the game, because you have to do other stuff.
Can you use your solution to run more fleets? No, I mean, that's the thing, you just don't have time to, Kaz. What do you say, Apple?
Apple Pear:
I was saying, like, a few days ago I ran a subcap fleet for the first time since ages.
Asher Elias:
Oh, nice.
Apple Pear:
People had to get used to my FC type again, because they were not used to quiet comms.
Asher Elias:
Beyond, do you need help there, brother?
Beyondnoxx_UNP:
Yeah [coughing noises].
Asher Elias:
Yeah, it's unlikely, Myron, that I get a promotion.
End of the year, shoutout to the leadership, and just everyone who runs this, uh, this show. They are, they put in a lot of time so that you guys can have fun, and, uh, I, I think that a lot of it is not seen, but I will say that a tremendous amount of work goes into, uh, having this alliance run smoothly, and, uh, everyone here is, is dedicated to making sure that you, the person attending this and listening to this, have a good time, and it makes it as easy and enjoyable as possible, so I just want to say thanks to them. Um, they, they are the reason that we are able to do this. So thank you to everyone who's putting their time volunteering to make this a fun game for every goon, every person in the Imperium.

So it was, uh, it was good to hear.
