They’re Goons.
Also, I think it has something to do with The Mittani getting kicked out of the csm and banned for 30 days over hateful drunk comments about another player while in Iceland.
Oh that. Yeah heard about Mittani…
Just got another email. They are offering 60 days for $20 again for the 9th anniversary.

As a Caldari player (the race that primarily uses missiles), I’m sooo tempted… But no, I won’t give in…
I’m so lonely in the GWC channel. I guess in space, no one can hear you weep:(
I got til Sunday to use their $10 for 30 special, but I do not think I’ll take advantage of it.
Edit:
EVE Online: New Drake Model
I miss EVE ship models!!! Blast!
I am being lazy and choosing not to sift through some sixty pages to find out, is anyone looking forward to the PS3 tie-in shooter Dust? I’. Not much of a computer player but I would be excited to team-up with a few GWC peeps when it drops. I posted in the PSN community thread my tag, but just in case here it is again, “ColonelForte”.
They’ve finally done it. They are offering 90 days for $24.95 on the same day my SWTOR sub is due. (:
I’ll just train skills and look at new shinies.
Welcome back, there are lots of new shinies to see.
Former EVE CSM member Vile Rat reportedly killed in Libyan bombing

Murdered State Department official Sean Smith was influential online gamer
http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/lookout/murdered-state-department-official-sean-smith-influential-online-185547152.html
For much of the past decade, Smith was an avid player of Eve Online, a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG). The game has more than 400,000 players, who take on roles as warriors, strategists and even diplomats in a science-fiction setting.
Alex Gianturco, aka “The Mittani,” one of Smith’s Eve Online colleagues, has written a moving tribute to his fallen friend, who went by the online moniker “Vile Rat.”
…
The website Eurogamer has posted an interview with Ned Coker of CCP, makers of Eve Online:“I can tell you that CCP and its employees are overwhelmingly saddened by the news of Sean Smith’s passing, as we are when we learn of any player who is tragically lost,” Coker said. “Many of us interacted with him professionally and personally and, honestly, it feels like our words are lost adrift–amongst such a tremendous, soul-affirming outpouring from the EVE community. The CSM, of which he is an alumni, will be posting a guest dev blog in his honor.”
Smith served as an official diplomat in Eve Online, serving on the Council of Stellar Management, Eve Online’s player-elected board, settling conflicts between thousands of players and helping to keep the system sailing smoothly.
“If you play this stupid game, you may not realize it, but you play in a galaxy created in large part by Vile Rat’s talent as a diplomat. No one focused as relentlessly on using diplomacy as a strategic tool as VR.”
“You may have been a friend or an enemy or a pawn in a greater game, but he touched every aspect of EVE in ways that 99% of the population will never understand.”
“It seems kind of trivial to praise a husband, father, and overall badass for his skills in an Internet spaceship game but that’s how most of us know him, so there you go.”
I was just about to post something about that. It’s kinda creepy, I actually talked to the guy once. I was in a corp that was part of the Goontrain, and Vile popped into our Teamspeak channel and chatted with us for a bit. Seemed like a normal, decent guy. Small world, indeed.
