GoonSwarm is currently the largest alliance in EVE; its executor corporation, GoonFleet, is also the single largest corporation. GoonSwarm controls the region of Scalding Pass, substantial areas of Tenerifis and Detorid, and recently, Delve.
Their founder and long-time leader, Remedial, eventually left the alliance to protest this policy, absconding with nearly six months worth of rent that Goons had raised through donation drives.[citation needed] He is suggested to have left a final message for his alliance, stating that "GoonFleet's libertarian ideals should not be trampled under the feet of Russian imperialism,"[citation needed] adding that "They're just a bunch of logoffskis anyhow."[citation needed] Through concerted effort, it is believed, this message was suppressed by GoonSwarm directors Blitter and Deadtear and remains unknown to the vast majority of the membership.[citation needed]
Accused of using exploits[citation needed] and unfair meta gaming[citation needed] in their drive to conquer regions of 0.0 space, Goons have become to be known as the "the Garbages of Eve".[citation needed] The skills of the Goons are in question,[citation needed] and it is highly believed that they possess little PVP tactics,[citation needed] instead their advantage is the use of overwhelming numbers. One of their many recruitment drives advertise the importance of just one pilot flying a rookie ship with a warp scrambler attached.[citation needed] Indeed, some have said that although a few of their members possess capital ships, GoonSwarm continue to use the same tactics as with their small ship fleets. However, their possible success without the support of RA and the rest of the southern coalition, remains to be seen.[citation needed]
GoonSwarm is commonly misspelled as "Goonswarm", which, incidentally, was one of only two protected pages (out of 466 total) on the EVE History wiki at the time of this writing; the other being Women Gamers of EVE.
