BREAKING NEWS
VOIP War Cease Fire Declared

Representatives of Emperor’s Grace have reached out to factions within Goon Squadron to seek peace. After days of heavy conflict arose between the two player factions over VOIP restrictions and access, the population had just about given up on seeing the night skies without the constant light show that close atmospheric combat brings.

However, brave members of both factions have been secretly working for peace in order to reduce the collateral damage associated with all out interstellar war.

"This has gone far enough. We never wanted war with the Goon Squad." an unnamed source has declared to the GNN.

Sources inside the Goon Squadron indicate that members were uninterested in the war beyond defending the trade lanes from “Over zealous loyalists.” Most of the membership agreed that it would make more sense to concentrate efforts on the impending Grand Re-Opening preparations.

Inquiries into what exactly the Grand Re-Opening was were met with bright smiles and enthusiastic “No comment” from all squadron members contacted.

GNN originally broke the rumors of this story with a tweet sent out some time yesterday. That tweet claimed sources indicated a schism within the leadership of the Emperor’s Grace faction, it seemed that peace was just a matter of time.

Though several of the stations within the VOIP War systems, Gridge, LTT 9810, Jotunheim, LTT 700, and Kappa Tucanae, are in states of civil war, civic leaders of most of the populations expressed excitement that these two local factions were ceasing hostilities.

"When you have star ships constantly shooting down everything in a system, it makes civil war seem tame." A clanleader for the Jotunheim clan was overheard saying to a colleague at a bar in Laird in Jotunheim.

Big Harry, the system president of Jotunheim expressed his happiness over the cease fire, “This is great, this is just in time for the Grand Re-Opening and I feel it important that the system is enjoying some type of peace prior to that event!”
Big Harry also responded with “No comment” in regards to questions about the Grand Re-Opening he had mentioned.

This is GoonNetNews, bringing you the news so hard, it’s like a punch in the face!

Just a tip for the future... white font text doesn't seem to work well when viewing messages on a mobile device. ;) nothing a good highlight text couldn't fix. I'm glad there is now peace, and I look forward to whatever mayhem comes from The Grand Re-Opening.

On a serious note. Why are people so averse to group driven narrative like what is going on at the moment? Yes I know it can be childish but so is modern politics. It certainly adds a lot more dynamic flavour to the game.

Speaking as a member of the Goon Squadron
I'm afraid your reporters may have gotten ahead of themselves. There is, as yet, no peace between the the RJR, Goon Squad, Frog Patrol, or BH Boys and the Emperor's Grace faction or pilot group - not to my knowledge, anyway. Talks have begun, and hopefully we can bring this conflict to an end, but ultimately that will depend on the willingness of the Emperor's Grace to commit to peace. While there are some within our own ranks that agitate for continued conflict, most of us wish to extend an olive branch, and it is my hope that the terms of such a peace can be hammered out tonight.

Representatives from the major galactic news teams have been invited - it is my sincere hope that the Emperor's Grace leadership will show up at the summit with a willingness to hear us out that matches our willingness to hear them out, and that we can forge a lasting peace.

aren't you both allied to the Imperials? Peace in our time, doesn't sound good. that's a nice enoyable read on player events. Do you have a name for the War?

Ambassadors of Emperor's Grace will be attending the Summit once venue is set in order to discuss the terms of peace in the systems.

You realize that there are >200k people on the Something Awful forums, right?

People who think a group of goons in Elite is going to be like the group of goons they encountered in <insert game here> vastly underestimate how many different groups of goon gamers there are. This isn't Goonswarm from Eve or Goonsquad from WoW or whatever game you used to play.

We didn't rip you off in ArcheAge, you were part of a marketing research that went bad... anyways ArcheAge wasn't worth it, and you are here now in a much better place.

This bears reiterating a thousand times until it becomes a mantra, the problem is no matter how many times it is said, there will always be unbelievers, people who've "heard stories" and people who've had one incident with one guy and think that it applies to every one of us, much like believing that all black people are criminals.
