New Eden of the Ancient Past....
YC 108 (2008 A.D.)
At the same there there was a young alliance that was just formed in southern Syndicate, Goonswarm Federation. While they say they started off trying to be the good guys of New Eden, they soon found that it was not that fun. So they found a couch in Null Sec to crash on, then made their name.
As their name grew, in the south the first "grrr Goons" could be heard. Band of Brothers began to called Goonswarm a plague to New Eden. Goonswarm fed on this calls and even egged them on. And as time went on the 'pets' of BoB began to chomp at the the bit and the whole New Eden seemed to turning against BoB. This lead to the first "Great War" of New Eden, and the destruction of BoB. BoB would come back as IT alliance then be destroyed again in quite a laughable manner, the whole time sending a message out of "Grr Goons" to anyone that would here it.
While some alliances would have rejected this propaganda, Goonswarm Federation simply embraced it. It fitted their culture, they saw that cluster needed a bad guy and a "hell why not us" attitude was encouraged. The motto in alliance became, "Not out ruin the game, but to ruin pubbies game". In Jita local and on the forums you would read about the Goonswarm scams and the millions or billions that was stolen. BoB built is empire on the back of renters and Goonswarm would look across the cluster and declare that these slumlords had to go while they built the strongest collation the, Cluster F*CK Coalition in New Eden.The leadership would always make it clear that an alliance that rented space out was bad and should not hold that space.

A Harsh Truth
During the last conflict in Fountain, a disgruntled director of Nulli Citizens, Nulli Secunda renter alliance, decided that he didn't like the leadership, and wanted to make a name for himself. So he dropped all of Nulli Citizens space and took a 1/2 the months rental dues, about 400 billion ISK. 400 BILLION ISK!!! And that as only half. So Nulli Secunda and N3 coalition could be making over 700 billion ISK a month. This is more that CFC could make with all their current moons and the moons that they won in the Fountain war.
This was a harsh truth, moon mining was dead. With Northern Coalition. and Nulli Secunda making nearly 700 billion ISK a month the CFC could be left holding the check. They would have to get find a new source of income and quick. The CFC needs a way to continue their expanding Shipping Replacement Program, their leadership saw that they needed to change.

A Goon of a New Age
So a new campaign has stated, not an invasion or conquest, but change the minds of Goons and the CFC. Not wanted to be left behind the CFC had decided that needed to open their renter alliance. This goes against everything that Goonswarm, and the CFC line membership was built on. It very well maybe the hardest battle that CFC has to fight. Already there have been post that have called out a stop to rental scam and to inform the grunts that this is needed to make the ISK needed for their SRP and other collation services. They need renters as hard as it is for them to say.
They have began an interesting campaign for this. To the line members and grunts they are saying that pubbies renting from Goons is the great way to oppress this scrublords. To the scrublords they say, "There was a group of people trying to ruin your lives in High-sec....Band of Brothers". It seems that they are glossing over their hate for the pubbie scrublords in the past to say, "Hey, we rent space better".
There has also been people saying that the Goonswarm Finance Team was caught off guard by how much Nulli was making renting. I want to say that I believe that is not true. Goonswarm likes to gloat about having the best finance team in New Eden, and I believe it. It is not one guy in his mom basement pushing around trillions of ISK. It is 10-20 guys in their moms basement pushing around trillions of ISK. They are very effective at what they do and they are very smart. I think the real proof of the Goonswarm having some knowledge of needing to rent was shown on April 1st, when TMC released a "fake" report about Goonswarm renting out parts of space.
It was said to have been an April fools joke at the time, but I think that it was Goonswarm testing the waters. They wanted to see if people out there would rent. Also they had known since January the end of the Tech Train was coming, maybe not when, but they new it was coming. I think back in April they knew they would need a system of income. Okay the Fountain moons right, well if we believe they have the best finance team in the game then it would make sense they that they knew the Fountain moons would not be enough. I mean these guy crunch numbers on everything that they do, do you really think they didn't know they would have to have a new source of income. I know a bit tinfoil hat, but it makes a lot sense.

Will They Come?
The last real question is well the renter come to the Goonswarm renting empire. In two words, "Hell, Yes". I mean why not? People want to say no they won't because Goonswarm has always hated on pubbies. That they tired to ruin the pubbies game. I will say people look past all that once Goonswarm opens it doors, cause the ISK they believe they were earn in null.The ISK will bring them. Also Goonswarm is smart, they understand that they need make their space look more live able than say N3 or PL. It is know that PL and NC. will hotdrop renters, and the CFC will say we will never do that. The CFC will also make sure to provide good security and services to their renters. If you think that they won't then you are fooling yourself.
If Goonswarm is anything they are business men first. As business men they are going to prove the best possible space and services that they can. They want renters to come and they will make sure that once they stay and are undisturbed. They see this business as a huge way to make ISK and they want to be part of it.
Would I have my corp rent from Goonswarm? Yes, I would, if that is what my corp wanted. The CFC would provide good space and we would be left to our own space. They would make sure that we mostly out of the way and that other people stayed out of space. They would provide intel channel and services that kept renters informed. Sure they would make remarks and snicker at us, but in the end they know that we pay their SRP, and if they don't want us paying NC., PL, or N3 then they make sure that we are taken care of.
The ancient bees are gone. They still may roam highsec with ice-interdiction or burn Jita. They may still troll forums and EVENEWS 24. But as long as they are renting they no long will be out to "ruin our game." They need the pubbie scrublords. It the end the ultimate troll is on Goonswarm, cause in order survive in they have to become what they fought against and what hate.
