Causing grief is what EVE is built upon.

What Sion is probably referring to is the fact that CCP's PR department's goals in this war are detrimental opposed to the Imperiums Fabian strategy of asymmetric demobilization and he might even argue that they are afraid of the Imperium because all the new and returning players don't get the big set piece battles that everyone lusts for but are instead forced to fight a war of attrition, which is a lot less fun.

But if you want to fight their media narrative of "World War Bee" you should really come up with something better than fighting the "War of Sovless Aggression" against the "Band of Backstabbers", because that has no chance of getting picked up by anyone who isn't a Imperium diehard.

Sooooo... what are you going to do if Mittens says no to the whole "fight the media narrative" thing? I can easily see the Imperium throwing the fight, laying low, then steamrolling right over the Moneybadgers and taking back the whole of their losses. That would be fun to watch for those of us not involved. A fragmented, sovless guerilla war is what Solitude Rangers and Highsec Militia is going to end up fighting against CODE. That might work for us since both the New Order and anti-gankers are always tooling around in highsec, but EVE goons need to do something other than griefing for once. I realize playing the game straight might be an odd concept to some of you, but you have the resources and the numbers to put Moneybadgers to the sword if you would only loving try.

Let's face it, you spent years of real time waving your collective dicks at the entire EVE universe (including its creators) and now you have the gall to object when it comes back to haunt you. Harden up, tool up, take your capitals out and go face the music.

It's a pretty good book too. Though the Kindle version isn't really that good even on a Kindle Fire. Seems like it wasn't really optimized for that sort of thing but whatever, you can open it up on your computer and see the stuff fine that doesn't appear on the Kindle version (eg. the maps)

Distribution problems probably contribute to that. The enemy has reddit to widely display their propaganda to the public whereas we only really have our internal propaganda subforum which isn't even that well trafficked

The propaganda subforum was pretty good. I always enjoyed the older stuff from the RedSwarm Federation days where, if I'm remembering correctly, there would be resubtitled scenes from black and white soviet movies.

The article is a bit wrong on a few details, albeit minor ones (the Kickstarter goal one of them). Also he's the guy that was the first to report on Mittani's Fanfest incident, which caused some ~drama and got the Editor-in-Chief of Massively to write about how Goons were harassing his writer, his site, and himself.

I wasn't back for the Vale shenanigans, but no matter how you look at it Vale was very far out there to try and defend against the kind of stuff going on in PB/Fade/Branch so I can understand that (where did Bastion and LAWN go to anyways, or is it too soon with all the other stuff going on to reassign space?), but other than that and the CO2 shift there are maybe a dozen systems actively flipped plus one or two independent stations? Aside from trying to figure out why weren't not even contesting timers with something more than bombers and interceptors (and I don't mean heavy fleets, just something like Caracals or Destroyers) it doesn't seem like there is a huge reason for the Imperium to feel like it's all collapsing or for the other side to feel like they're really pushing poo poo in yet. Although I don't know how serious yesterday's Branch and Fade losses were.

Speaking of which, how did VFK not get taken because I don't remember any sort of defense going on? I was even pulling stuff out of there to move to Saranen with little trouble since the Gates weren't camped even though there were a couple hundred reds in-system.

try one puller, one carrier (or supercarrier) per system (1-3 total) and you're set

How do you avoid getting ganked or hotdropped? I wouldn't trust myself to do it unless I knew that.

Also the last time I researched constellations for this, basically Hysera was the only lowsec system that had all highsec neighbor systems and would allow for a 1-carrier setup. There was also a gallente system that had 3 lowsec with the rest highsec in its constellation. Everything else was like 5+ lowsec systems, which means you'd want a carrier in each of those 5+ systems so that you don't have to cyno or go gate-to-gate. What other constellations/factions are out there, or is that it?

Basically right now the Imperium is consolidating down to the "core regions" of Dek, PB, and Fade since we can reasonable contest them while based out of lowsec while you can't do that for say, branch. At this point the next stage of the war is either going to be the MBC trying to invade Dek (not going to be fun) and consolidating what they have taken in Fade and PB. If they can't defend what they take this war is just going to end up a grinding stale mate of low ADM systems flipping constantly until someone gets bored.

Defenders under the new system get a passive regen on the nodes. VFK was, for the most part, not heavily contested by either side and because the attackers weren't capturing nodes fast enough the passive regen beat them to the magic number of nodes needed to be taken resulting in a "successful defense" of the system. It basically makes it so the attackers actually have to push for the objective rather than just sit around expecting to win the system.

Same thing happened in Cloud Ring when CFC tried to take a few systems from Horde back in November/December.

The first time I signed up to play this game with goons I made a deal with one who sent me the referral email to split the isk, and he stopped answering PMs after I bought the game. Also I got an unexpected job offer that week, so I drifted off pretty quick.

Should I bother going to dig up that old email and signing back up with goons or can I make a new account and still use my SA username?
