The founder of SA also was just the forum administrator and main authority, but a lot in that forum community was developed by others under his supervision.<br /><br />If The Mittani would stop engaging with EVE (he really doesn't play that much), the Goons would certainly not vanish, they will retain certain character traits, but they also would change.<br /><br />The time of Mittani's rulership has brought a level of control and structure to Goonswarm that it hasn't had before. A new leader might be unable or unwilling to keep things running like that.

The Mittani is a powerful figure in the general EVE culture and narrative and it seems like his departure would be a sea change for Goonswarm, the CFC, and a large proportion of the general EVE audience (incl. myself ;-) ). While the Goonswarm would no doubt survive, I wonder if it would remain at the current level of activity or decline somewhat, and I wonder if the alliances in the rest of the CFC would remain as cohesive or not. That may be a totally baseless question; in times when The Mittani seems to have been relatively inactive in EVE (based on reading various blogs), Goon activity doesn't seem to wane that much, but (again, as an outsider) it seems like there *should* be a strong cult of personality around him and I wonder if the rest of the more area-focused leaders in Goonswarm have the inclination and talents to gather quite as much momentum as he has.<br />(Written while smashed, so please excuse any grammatical horrors.)Nullshadownoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2962276924342174960.post-42039847753012421212013-07-29T04:22:11.149+02:002013-07-29T04:22:11.149+02:00A good read.
