Jakamo Interview

Curt - Today at 18:42
You're the director which just defected from Kenshin right? I'm currently putting together a piece with a couple of interviews in it and I was hoping one of them would be yours?
jakamo - Today at 18:43
yes that is me
im a little sad to hear but not surprised that kenshin is tellling their people nothing happened
now i know why i was always told to stay off of reddit.
Curt - Today at 18:45
You were told to stay off Reddit? Does that for everyone in Darkness/GOTG?
jakamo - Today at 18:53
well they should hope people do not go their ...
but it was a kenshin thing , mostly screamed on ts... just stay off there! its cancer they said
yeah i had never gotten into reddit
dont get me wrong, kenshin was great to its people for the longest time, until vlade started bending the knee to sort for anything.. i get following a leader loyaly, but when you talk about how awful he is and how he hates you, and the corp, come on.
Curt - Today at 18:58
Vlade thinks Sort is awful?
jakamo - Today at 18:59
yes he does
sorry i just got a phone clall in rl .  gimme a moment or two
Curt - Today at 20:11
Things were that bad between them?
jakamo - Today at 20:28
yeah man
sort only put up with vlade cause he lived on one of the other directors couch for a year
Curt - Today at 20:30
What was the atmosphere like among leadership? Particularly in the run up to your decision to leave.
jakamo - Today at 20:31
despised kenshin but respected and needed them to be present due to the force they brought on au time zone
Curt - Today at 20:31
hmm
What about among Kenshin. leadership?
jakamo - Today at 20:32
the aussie leadershi always had their own circle
Curt - Today at 20:32
but not US or EU?
They were excluded?
jakamo - Today at 20:33
there was one eu dir, he was more of a discord director than anything , he did some nullsec logistics and pos work or bridge fueling
us , it was just me as the other guy had gone dormant when vlade made val a director with no vote
i can say one thing.... all the shit you hear about goons and hatred, and how they are shit for people, they sent 4 strangers to help me extract my supers.
gotg would have said wait let us organize it.
and it would have fell to shit
goons jumped and flew 40+ jumps
took my supers, asher threw caps at them on the otherside  while we moved my supers
i mean, that doesnt come from anyone
some would have stolen it to deal a blow to gotg.
and i was in BoB
goons took my space.  my home  from years ago.
so to turn to them was scary and added to the thrill
however all my supers were returned within hours
the same love i felt from bros in kenshin in the lower ranks, goon matched that 10 fold.
and now kenshin members are reaching out to me asking why i didnt take them
i fel love from both sides
i dont hate the military in gotg, they are dudes trying to find some good fun in a game.
the leadership, they need some work on how to lead
how to love
how to appreciate folks
no super ratting, no save fleets, no mining in colosal without 10 plus rorq
i mean you can oonly control so much in a video game and how people play it
goons understand this.
they like to see their folks have fun
have you heard there comms
they dont tell people to stfu
the comms on gotg were so stfu and wait
it got old .
and then to be treated that way by uppers in a director chat .... i just stayed silent and flew my jf.. i learned by watching others get axxed off the block cause they said their opinion in a sacred channel just for that!
i decided gotg was not the game i wanted to log into everyday
i will enjoy some missions or local chatter in jita, maybe find a different avenue of the game.  not that.  not making folks feel bad about logging in to have some fun
Curt - Today at 20:46
How widespread was doxxing among Kenshin?
jakamo - Today at 20:49
3 people did it
i never knew what it was till ths incident
the last  big theft they had was a gf of vlade or something.  and i cant imagine what happened then..... before my time
it was laughed at , the doxxing
and woodbine, the toon that was a violator , he convoed me a few days before i turned, saying its a new toon and vlade okayed him to come back, looking at directors chat i noticed they did allow him back in
however i did not feel comfy accepting that app. so i ignored the im
he said i was the only director available , and requested / demanded i accept.
i acted as though i was af and went to bed cloaked and logged in  till dt
noy cool
not*
this is a real persons life
and although this is a game and their is a real person behind the screen
you dont do that as a human being
i doont care about ccp rules against it, i will follow it, but i wouldnt  do it just cause im a decent human being and dont wish harm or ill will upon others
its like the leader of goon and pl ....
when they see each other at fanfest or something.... they dont brawl, they laugh smile and enjoy the aspect the game brings
i do care about ccp rules but what i meant by that was i wouldnt do that kind of stuff even if they didnt have the rule in place
figure i should clear that up lol
