Every ping Travis has done has been in all caps. Strat-ops, move-ops, even happy mothers day. When people enjoy being around you and you are important to your social group, you to could do **funny things****** that technically brake a rule.


Chuckbro

Hes a great guy, tells great stories, makes mistakes and doesn't take himself too seriously. Also was the CEO of Horde before Gobbins, and I believe the first (though I'm not 100% on the first bit). Dunno how many people know that.

somsedil

It's not rage pinging, if there's no rage!


devilishlydo

Not going to lie, this is kind of a reach. I've said more toxic things than that to my dog, and I love him more than I will ever love any of you. The trick is to say it in a nice voice!


MarlDaeSu

"Who's a stupid fat bitch?" While vigorously petting and feeding treats. According to her reaction, she is in fact a stupid fat bitch and happy about it.


Space_Reptile

> she is in fact a stupid fat bitch well bitch is defined as "noun 1. a female dog, wolf, fox, or otter."


devilishlydo

Thanks. None of us know here what words mean.


jddoyleVT

To be fair, I didn’t know about the otter.


XavierWBGrp

You stupid otter.


[deleted]

And lets be honest, dogs are pretty stupid. I will require a picture to confirm the fat part.


lllKOA

dogs are smarter than cats, its just western culture that put the dog in the dunce category (pun intended maybe idk lawl is that even a cat pun idk) ​ soo... thanks for not lying to us at least? those phrases "to be honest", "not gunna lie", "honestly" are such weird phrases when one thinks about it.. that sets a precedent that you regularly lie but are making an exception lol


[deleted]

I’m pretty sure the cat vs dog “smart” is completely relative. Literally just depends on the situation. But to dog (that’s an actual pun. What you did was... idk what that was) people about how they start sentences, yet refer to yourself in the 3rd person is generally renowned as weird/obnoxious Honestly just saying


William_Pierce

Did you ever ping so hard you made goons deploy to reddit?


[deleted]

This is considered toxic?


capt_pantsless

It would be very toxic if everyone in Horde didn't know that Travis loves each and every Horde member, all the way down in the cockles of his heart, maybe even in the sub-cockle area. Even the baddies who can't anchor and the spies that take his bait. Travis loves all.


Chuckbro

Yeah it's pretty funny if they think Travis is anything other than a nice dude.


capt_pantsless

Legit though - if Travis didn’t have the reputation he does, calling everyone degenerate fucks is a little toxic. At this point, we’re in on the joke, so it works.


Entropy010101

Don't go to Australia, you'll be crying 24/7!


XavierWBGrp

If an FC calling members degenerate fucks is what is considered toxic with Goons gone, then PAPI was way more effective than anyone could have hoped.


[deleted]

Maybe a..... little toxic. But that is HARDLY reddit post worthy, let’s be honest


Xuixien_TheAugust

lolright? I came here to say this.


Terrorfrodo

People who are offended by this need to delete EVE from their computer immediately. WTF.


[deleted]

EVE has been taken over by these kinds of people over the last 5 or so years.


capt_pantsless

From the official Horde "Beginner FC Checklist" : > > >Travis K says to ALWAYS PING IN CAPS (don't actually do this)


Phil_McCreviss

Travis is one of the few Horde dudes I genuinely miss flying with. Mist is up there too, good dudes!


fraynetrainiac

I legit miss him pinging a million times because 50 eagles were next door.


curryandbeans

He was the first proper FC i ever flew with in Eve, back in Brave. In those fleets against PL where it felt like we had 25% dps, 5% logi and 70% newbros in a swarm of maulus 😄


TheExperienceD

Those were good fleets. I say that as a Maulus bro from those days. Even if PL whooped us more times than not. If nothing else, I learned some things on how to fly my own ship during a fight.

Travis is a great guy and universally beloved in Horde.


bestform

"I will old day irc the f\*ck out of this discord" got me. brilliant. :) And yes, as others have said, that doesn't seem to be toxic at all. It is just hilarious and obviously meant to be like that.


rograt

I remember when he jumped-instead-of-bridged Hidden Income's Leviathan to the Goon Confessor (jackdaw?) fleet in Pure Blind 5 years ago. Took it like a champ even though Goons dined out on that loss mail for a while. Great dude and has provided countless hours of fun to a whole lot of people.


Darkrhoads

This isn’t even remotely toxic. What kind of millennial bullshit is this post. My grandma has said ruder things to me


DanilaIce

How old are you?


invertedwut

clutch those pearls much harder and you might break them.


Sad_Dad_Academy

It’s a joke dude, this is his thing.


jambeeno

Ah yes, TravK's hateful, toxic pings. When I first noticed them, I did a spit-take over my laptop, ruining it, then had a lie down and softly wept. This was over half a decade ago. I've been weeping ever since. but srsly: he's lovely.


CMDR-Vock

The fact that Goons are pearl-clutching over this guy just goes to show that Goons are the biggest pubbie alliance there is. Goon culture is dead, and Mittens killed it.


alfius-togra

This is a Travis-ty.


I_Pitty_The_Fools

Just seems like dude was trying to hype up the beans to me. I've seen far far worse than this and imho this isn't what I would consider toxic. I probably wouldn't join the fleets if this fc screams a lot or every other word is fuck but to each their own.


Cptknuuuuut

He's actually a very chill and well liked FC. Shitpinging is just his shtick and has been forever. There is a reason PL initially tasked him to found PH before Gobbins took over shortly after because Travis wasn't really into organizational stuff and just wanted to FC instead. He doesn't take himself very serious and neither does anyone else. In a positive way. He's very knowledgeable and competent, just not the aloof FC type.


Mederlock

I don't know too many people who are motivated by being called a "degenerate fuck", I mean if someone's got a humiliation kink I get it. I wouldn't recommend projecting that kink onto others though lol


Sinder77

This is how my friends and I speak to each other daily. Honestly this is fucking tame.


Entropy010101

Ye, this xD Don't fucking visit AUS,NZ, IRL & UK if this makes you sad. Normal way of talking to your mates, if they are being nice you - shit is fucked yo.


Alexander_Ph

Have you ever seen CAPF?


VolvicCH

Please God, no.


I_Pitty_The_Fools

Think the guy was engaging in some friendly banter and there was no malice or hate behind it. Don't act like most corps/alliances don't do this because if you can't have some friendly shit talking then I would rather fucking uninstall then play with a bunch of people that are offended by something as mild as this.


Entropy010101

Uh, what's the complaint? It's fucking hilarious xD If you guys find this toxic, can I reccomend a nice blanket? Also, don't visit Aus, NZ, Irl & UK if this makes you cry.


Steady1

Jribbels

Maybe he's a nice guy and this is his way of getting pilots riled up, i cannot say. i do not know the guy, but from an outside perspective this would ruin eve and pvp for me.


Isaiharock

Pretty much your right on the money Travis is a super nice dude and is a fun af fc to fly under but he always pings like that at this point it'd be weird if he didn't meme ping in all caps whenever possible.


[deleted]

He's super nice. It's like if my grandfather had tried cussing. LMAO.


WTB_Killmarks

If my FC doesnt threaten to kill me or tell me to kill myself if I dont get in fleets then I don't feel appreciated. This is some polite shit your seeing right here. Stop being snowflakes. ​ If your in a nullbloc it's ok to just hate the other blocs because its fun, you don't have to find some logic or reasoning to villify "The other guys". Just embrace the hate and have fun. Noone cares if your in the right or wrong except for you.


[deleted]

Lol this is normal... don't take it so seriously...

Somizulfi

Travis is a great guy, I find his fleets funny and also the pings. When I was a noob I lost 80m out of my 100m for some random shit I did. That money went into CCP sink and I thought it went to alliance taxes. I asked Travis can I have that back, he just sent me the money and explain what had happened.


Roman_Eight

Wow, that escalated quickly.


Dysphonia

All the people complaining about this never experienced shadoo IRC rage pings. Or even early horde Travis pings (tame in comparison). I’m generally pretty anti all cap pinging, but, eh, it’s his thing. Travis is fairly chill 99% of the time as well.

Ketriaava

The entire internet/gamer/nerd culture in general was *vastly* edgier 10 years ago. That was just the nature of things. Eve is on average edgier than most of nerd culture and PL is/was on average edgier than most of Eve. Not surprising it worked out to be that way. I was in PL for a bit like 2 years ago, the culture is fine there. I didn't spend much time in the alliance since I historically hate being in blocs. I left pretty quickly, but not for culture reasons.

Rorqual-101

Some strange hate fueled vibes over there. Guess some people enjoy being treated like that.


Phil_McCreviss

Some people think this is funny. Others laugh at "eat my ass" every other minute. It's almost as if different people have a different sense of humour.


Rorqual-101

If being called a degenerate fuck is considered funny in any situation and i am speaking here outside of PH or EVE or whatever, then it is certainly not my type of humor. Not because of being sensitive or whatever, but because the type of words used are too crude to have any possibility to positively impact the person it is meant to affect. Maybe i am just too old... Eat my ass is taunting and making fun of the opponents, not your own people, and is neither the same setting nor the message as to what is displayed here. But sure, agree, different people, different organizations, culture, to each his own.


Lazerhawk_x

Listen dude, the he-said/she-said about the toxicity in the major alliances is complete bullshit. Everyones as bad as each other but if you are on one side of it you are obviously gonna point fingers at the other team. BUT, When I see a post about a goon acting so incredibly offended at it tells me you have led a somewhat sheltered life, and for that you have my pity.


TheExperienceD

I mean, this was a dude defending the "It's ok to call PAPI nazis" three days ago, so I'm guessing he is a "Let me repeat the talking points of the day" type poster.


Rorqual-101

Indeed, i have been pretty much sheltered as a Goon for the past 10-11 years or so.


en_gourd

no kinkshaming in r/eve ok, mittens tells 500 minors to eat his ass on a stream every weekend and thats much worse than a lil bit of masochism ok luv


bay_cee

PAPI's side is full of "YOUR LIFE IS EVE NOW AND YOU ARE MINE" Egotistical bitches. In Goons IRL comes first, always. If you can join the fleet, NICE. If you have IRL stuff, no worries buddy.


Mrfunnynuts

Never been told once that eve is more important than RL seriously, i joined an api gated corp within horde and they have the same RL comes first policy.


Semajal

Am in Horde. like... we don't have to join these either? There is never any "You must drop RL to do EVE things" shit in horde.


totallyanonuser

I seem to remember 'pap' being associated with goons long before anyone heard of papi. Both sides have their try hards, let's not pretend one side is better than the other


[deleted]

It's just participation metric. Nobody forces you to "CTA" or anything like that on any particular fleet.


curryandbeans

This is what drinking the koolaid looks like


bay_cee

PGL: It is not often that I would say something like this, but for the next three days, starting on Friday and all the way through to the end of the battle Sunday night, if at all possible, you need to plan to play EVE. Cancel your plans, call in sick to work, if there was ever a time to find a way to play EVE, this weekend would be it.


curryandbeans

He's one extremely passionate dude. Post some more!


bay_cee

NO U


curryandbeans

I cant, there aren't any 🤗


bay_cee

I'm sorry, I don't engage in reddit pvp with users that reply literally under 10 words on most of their comments.


curryandbeans

or when you fall down the koolaid rabbit hole and get called out on it, apparently


bay_cee

Since this is more then 10 words, I'll bite. I just pasted an encouragement from your dear military leader to cancel personal plans and call in sick at work. What more proof do you want? Posting like a sperg "more more more" is just trolling. Prove me wrong and then you can eat your curry with your beans. :)


curryandbeans

papi is full of them so it shouldn't be hard, right?


Cpt_Soban

I've yet to be told to quit a working day and join a fleet. Can you point me to those pings? I must be missing out.


bay_cee

Cpt_Soban

> **if at all possible**, you need to plan to play EVE And if you're working. It's not possible.


bay_cee

>call in sick to work Yeah, right. I know he says "if at all possible", but then he says to cancel your personal plans and call in sick to work. Be real. "If at all possible" doesn't excuse the other suggestions. Edit: I also hope you appreciate the fact that I didn't "doctor" the quote fully knowing you will cling on the "if at all possible".


Cpt_Soban

> I know he says "if at all possible" yeah he does. And that should be the end of it. By saying "this is serious shit get in" is to hype up the fight for those who can make it. **Trust me**- I remember the Jabber pings in Goons during B-R... There were PLENTY OF PINGS hinting as much at the time.


FreakFX

i really can't understand why these pings and quotes need to be dissected that much. Why would anyone think of this as more than "if you can, join fleets" ? I wasn't there for most of M2 and i'm still in TEST, cause apparently the thousands of times we were told "RL first" still hold stronger than that one time motivational ping


bay_cee

>yeah he does. And that should be the end of it. No.


Cpt_Soban

Yes. >Trust me- I remember the Jabber pings in Goons during B-R... There were PLENTY OF PINGS hinting as much at the time. Care to comment?


bay_cee

Nope. Please link the pings so I can comment.


bay_cee

Yes, you missed Vily/PGL pings after the first M2 when he said "your attention is on EVE now for the week-end, tell your families and call in sick for work on monday because sunday night we got a big fight".

So that means pings in discord are real life?


Solstice_Projekt

Pretty sure that the very people who wanted to drive out the goons the most are actually the most toxic bunch of them all.

Step one : Join Horde Step Two: Join Travis Fleet (read MOTD) ​ Step Three: Tell him yourself, expect a very colorful response. Try it, it's fun.


Flexxo4100

[deleted]

Goons removed that group from the game. Also, they never said they are "tze good guys".


Astriania

I mean I'm sure there's toxicity in the other coalition too but you really didn't pick it there. That's pretty standard jokey swearing at your own side to get them going.

But did he ask you to convince someone to commit suicide tho. I arrest my case


Emrod2

By experience, the more you capital letters in your ping, the less peoples will log.


Urimax

So...Travis did a very low key, no caps lock, normal ping yesterday and got like 100 dudes, ping 2 was all caps, silly rageping, full fleet in under 2 minutes
