227: Alek vs The Mittani

That guy Remedial knew from Lordless”

The Mittani sends his regards to the Declarations of War faithful as Alek goes one on one with the King of Space himself.

This epic interview spans the length and breadth of Mittani’s +15 year EVE career from starting out before Goonswarm was an in-game entity, his rise to establishing the Goon intelligence apparatus and later running the alliance, the Great War, the evolution of Goonswarm’s coalition into The Imperium, both WWBI and II (Casino and Beeitnam wars, respectively), the CSM, scarcity, and everything else in between.

The spice must flow and this one gets spicy indeed!
