Lol we are not in that good of shape.

The Co2 betrayal plot only works if we don't have our own capital fleet fully online at the time the supposedly smaller enemy super fleet is online. It would also apparently rely upon groups of dictors to be hanging out for apparently no reason.

The PL super fleet also makes sense to have on-line in case of an Imperium capital op or to act as a preventative measure hopefully ward off a capital escalation.

The supposed co2 trap would also require a number of different alliances to be involved with knowledge of the plan.

It is generally safer to assume that incompetence was involved rather than some conspiracy.

PL can flash form supers in minutes, the fact that they were already logged in means they weren't in fact 'setting up the trap' and we're online as a potential response/deter Imperium Supers.

The whole 'IT'S A TRAP' narrative is woefully stupid and misinformed.

Incompetence is much more believable when talking about FCON, RAZOR, or Goonswarm at the beginning of a war.
When i comes to CO2, considering they had planned for a while to turn on us, I think a trap is much more likely.

PL/NC didn't need to be in on it for it to be a trap. In fact the trap likely would work better if PL/NC didn't know that it was in the works. CO2 would just have to get the move started and then say "oh hey guys, we can light a cyno for you if you want to dogpile some goon supers"

I'm not Endie, but hey ChickenWing how are you? I am taking what I learnt in the right honorable Top Goon and teaching some of the interested Horde dudes about it. They love bombing runs and honestly I couldn't be happier they get a war to be a part of instead of reading. Also my dumb video explaining the war is at 25k views on YouTube, which is abnormal for my EVE videos.

Also Saturday marks the 1 year anniversary of Horde being founded so that should be fun.

Hi HendrUba TallarStij

You know what's funny? I don't think I ever actually launched a bomb while in topgoon. Glad you're having fun with it though, gotta teach those newbies how to accidentally pres butan and see who's not fast enough on the mwd off button.

Next teach them dictors and indirectly how to "accidentally" bubble their own fleets :sun:

Yep, there's also dudes learning interdictors & command destroyers. The latter of which are the best loving ships in EVE.

I was only in Top Goon during the start before being kicked out of the alliance entirely, but I don't really recall any thing dumb we did. If I remember correctly were were staging out of Serpentis Prime (or whatever that NPC system nearby was) and having a blast not being in the TiDi fuckfests.

I do remember fondly during the first big fight (JSA?), my brother who was in Waffles and I were in Interceptors and found each other and just orbited each other's ship while shooting the poo poo and watching a movie. Good times.

CD's are amazing. If you get two or three, you can chain bazooka people off an undock right towards your buddies and kill them. We did that to SMA a few times and it never stops being funny simply because of the confusion the victim has during it.

Are you reading reddit? Goons lost territory because holy god we have too much loving space, and every space personality with a rifter and a grudge has come to grind their way to Deklein.

Basically we just have to hold them until they realize how much they really hate each other, then they'll all splinter off into their respective factions again and we can surge back out to full turgidness.
