Deadzone their capital systems and just sit back and watch the realization dawn on N3 pets that they are not, in fact: on equal footing with the CFC.

Well I can dream.

We didn't really want that space the first time we accidentally steamrolled through on momentum. Why bother when Delve Querious/whatever when it will probably be undefendable from our homeland come fozziesov? I do like the idea of leaving it fallow so all the would be highsec/lowsec sov warriors decide to take a crack at it and then we can just go down there whenever to piss in their cheerios. Kind of like what PL has done to Catch except hopefully with more pubbie shrieking when they realise that new sov it may be, but it's still the old faces who dictate whether you get to participate or not.

Heh, we spent the last year attacking with the squad that doesn't exist, and it turns out that fozzie is killing their main target.

Though I'm kinda scared of the idea of turning supercarriers into yet more booster ships. I'd rather take the ecm burst ability and extend that -- how about a "web burst" or something? Effects that makes allies better stack too well already.

Yesterday I was reading Mittani's old article from tentonhammer about failure cascades, and it's kinda amazing how it needs practically zero updates to be current. And the poor saps in brave don't recognize it because big failures happen so rarely these days. Newbies are seeing it for the first time.

Every alliance is different, but they all fail the same.

I'm inclined to think this is what fozzie meant. He said 'force multipliers' not boosting ships. I'd love to see them get some weird AoE ewar utility.

This has to be some kind of speed record for failure cascades. It's like they're trying to one-up TEST.

It's not like everyone couldn't see this coming for more than a year (a lot of people in this thread were predicting it from the moment Brave left Barleguet), but the rapidity with which it's progressed is still impressive.

To be fair, the failure cascade was inevitable once Lychton kicked out Apathy LLC in a drunken rage... and that technically happened before the station timer.

It looks like Apathy were the latest poachcorp (ISRAD, Hoover, various other incarnations) and were planning on awoxing their way out, so I think most alliances would :commissar: them under the circumstances.
Honor is merging into TEST because Securitas is afk leadership personified, dude is at med school or something.

I know HERO has an autz fc left because Endie wants to steal him.

Their leadership is riddled with N3friends and Goonfriends though, so who knows what'll emerge. To their credit they've avoided the back-to-back 300b isk thefts TEST dealt with (so far).

The only source of their "indesputable" proof that Apathy were going to awox and steal their way into PL comes from Lychton.

Brave dumped a log set from within apathy, it seems pretty confirmed that he was telling the truth. The one guy wanted to take over brave, and some of them had a backstab & PL switch on the table. Those guys got accepted into PL pretty much immediately after they got kicked, seems to indicate that some communication had taken place.


Of course, this is why Mittani, CD, and plenty of other people have been yelling at Brave for the past year and a half that their leadership structure is bad and extremely vulnerable to pressure. In a space democracy with an elected council, if the dude stands up and says "I'm in charge now" and the council had supported him, is it a coup or a democratic transfer of power?
