A bunch of goons


One of the top guilds of our server is the alliance guild called Ye olde goon squade. You have probably noticed them - not because they are many - but because ones you run into them the usually make the meting...memorable. In other words: they will most likely kill you! And if you think about the name it shouldn't be a suprice to you that they like to gank people. According to Wikipedia a Goon Squad is

"A group, frequently but not always vigilante* in nature, usually run by less than savory government or labor figures"

*Someone who follows his/hers own rules!

Also a goon is defined as: "...a slang term referring to thugs hired by bosses or other authorities. So in this guild we are dealing with "thugs" unlike most allys these can be trusted - they will most likely kill you every time they meet you!

There are two approaches if you run into them. You can run and hide or simply show that you mean no harm and dont wish to fight. This can be a good strategy since its hardly ever a good idea to start a war with this guild. Im not saying that you cant defeat a goon member but since this seems to be what they live for they will not let it go easy. Soon there will prolly be a massive backup and the last thing we want is a war against them. Another strategy would be to strike first. Since these "goons" like to fight and most likely will try to kill you, its always an advantage to strike first. Choose a strategy cause you will run into at least one of these lads one day and you'd wish you had a strategy.

I said my opinion about this ganking behavior in an old post (look under march) and wont get into that again. This is simply a warning to those who has been lucky enough not to run into Goon Squad members. But i found it amusing that if you look Goon up in Wikipedia it says:

"The word 'Goon' is also an English term for someone who is classed as an 'Idiot' or a half-wit." ^^

[Picture: Bullmastiff and myself were so lucky to run into a whole lot of goons the other day; but we were lucky this time. Scary tho! ]

I say kill'em all! ;)
 
i've had both fun and not so fun with YOGS (as they are common referd as)
the fun was with the guild before i joined Tiger.. so about 1½ year ago.
remeber it becouse they ganked some of us and we hmm ermm made a big payback :P

and if you encounter 2-3 of them when you're alon.. count on beeing killed.. and don't runback to corpse cause they'll be waiting

Good post again Mijo :)
 
A YOGS a day, keeps the doctor away!

I generally kill them when I see them, regarding thier lvl. I wouldn't call it ganking, because one day they will grow upm and kill me..:P
 
I cant even kill a dead rat so il just heal you tigers while you do the job.
