pugnax posted:I'm glad that you have a grasp of ~the narrative~ but I'm talking about the hypothetical war that would have begun in the days immediately after Asakai, not deep into the summer of 2013 after the brain drain had occurred. And don't totally knock TEST's diplomacy - the HBC was a testament to diplomatic work. It was just never intended to be maintained. If the culture and the leadership are toxic, a sov war isn't going to do anything but speed up the process of grinding down anyone who doesn't want to put up with the bullshit. In the extremely unlikely scenario that TEST made huge gains for months in such a hypothetical war, then sure, maybe it wouldn't have happened immediately. It doesn't really take 'diplomatic work' to create an alliance of convenience between all of the "grr goons" of nullsec and PL. Real diplomatic work would have been convincing PL to join a probably-unwinnable war against the CFC, or, you know, keeping the coalition together through even the tiniest bit of leadership drama.

pugnax posted:I'm glad that your crystal ball is in such excellent condition. I'd say there's no way of knowing how things would have shook out, and that the CFC might have been significantly damaged if not for Shadoo's intervention. Regardless, TEST needed to lose it's empire, I just would have rather seen that happen as an unexpected multi-region sov drop and land grab. People that fall apart when there's plenty of skirmish fun to be had but no real poo poo tastic grindy sov war going on, tend to fall apart even faster when there is real pressure on. TEST only had one ally that stuck through hard times and that was Tribe.

Even if they joined in PL would have hosed off the minute the very first CFC upset victory occurred to plan the alliance tournament in however many months. And  at the brain drain being after the whole HBC collapse. Most of TESTS smart directors and military leaders had peaced out well before or had simply stopped logging in.

In some aspects, officer gear is a lot like a lost, ancient treasure: It's worth a lot of money, it has some weird, hidden power like shooting missiles slightly faster and it is cursed. Everyone who fits officer gear must face the Curse of the Ganker and perish.

Someone in gs_scams contacted the Officer Raven guy and recruited him into goonfleet, he bought an identical raven and loaded it with ammo and 9 plexes. Upon further inspection of his API, it was determined he was a spy and these assets were with-held pending further investigation. On a side note, I hear one of our recruitment officers is on the market for a capital alt. http://evepraisal.com/e/1728491 Neobdragon fucked around with this message at 01:59 on Mar 5, 2014 |

But if I were the ones who ended up with any of that stuff, I'd probably contact the GMs to give it a once-over so it's not all RMT tainted and ends up flagging the account.
