Wow, this thread is nearly as bad as Reddit. Logged in expecting all my towers to be reinforced. Nope, just fine. I'm guessing Dek will burn soon enough, but I'll put a few more billion out of these towers before that happens.

So much for building a coalition with all these pubbie hordes so that when the next great war comes, we have the numbers to face them... And to think, we could have been farming CO2/SMA/LAWN this whole time. That's the greatest tragedy in this whole episode.

If you're implying the situation is somehow "good" because your particular towers aren't RF'ed yet then...

The Imperium's unwillingness to contest timers and/or fight isn't an indictment of FozzieSov, it's an indictment of your leadership.

Stop shifting blame away from Sion/Mittens. Before the morale was broken and the 'we're going to bore them to death' speeches went out, there was a very real chance to stem the tide and maybe lose a region with intense fighting in another until Alliance Tournament practice started, but now, every carrion bird North to South is feasting on the dying corpse of the Imperium, and it's nobodies fault but their own. Nobody is getting bored, nobody is going home- I don't know where you fall exactly in terms of fence sides- but, exiling an alliance to Outer Ring is a pretty huge morale boost. CO2 flipping sides, the forum porn, the fireside chats, it's all hilarious from the other side.

Not really trying to spin anything, this is pretty much what 'we' see, and to us it's hilarious. They can clutch onto logs that fell out of the sky that aren't really damning while huffing farts about SUAS eating a 7 day ban all they want, this conflict for everyone not in the Imperium is probably the most fun most of us have had in years. I know the horn of goondor didn't really have the effect they wanted, but I'm talking to people I haven't seen in years, and having been a PL dude for 2 years (and then out of the game for 2 more years), I finally get the chance to fly with Shadoo (and no doubt get yelled at for my rusty skillset) and other people I've only had the pleasure of shooting.

Ugh, I know I'm freaking in GSF, but come on:

1) This whole attacker thing with Fozziesov is still a god drat assumption. No one has tried any organized sov defense as far as I can tell, so I'd love to know how everyone is so god drat certain it's basically impossible for us.
2) Oh look, everyone is based out of NPC Low Sec, except one of the two largest organizations fighting us, and two of the smaller the ones.
3) As for Sovwoxing, I'm pretty sure at least Horde isn't blue to CO2 from my fleets last night, and even then if they actually care enough to find the "awoxer" can't they just fly to the site and report whose running the entosis link?

Edit:
Oh yeah, and for good measure, how is pounding CO2 going to mean anything, and how does what's in the "pastebin papers" supposed to do anything to anyone? I'm pretty sure no one on the other side gives a drat because someone else called them names behind their backs or that they were caught in some lie meant to play against the Imperium.

Attn: Sir/Madam Ok Baby,

I seize this opportunity to extend my sincere hope that you will be successful in this endeavour.

I am certain that by the time you read this EVE mail, you will already have defeated the ~evil goons~ that plague New Eden. I was passing by Jita and decided to use this opportunity to send you this mail believing that my donation is the one that will ensure your success.

My name is [Insert name here] and I am currently in the possession of a very valuable ship which I would be willing to sell solely for the purpose of donating you the ISK to wage your war. Unfortunately, this ship is currently locked in a station in [insert system here] which I am unable to dock in. The only way I can get this ship back is by having [insert logistic corp here] ship it back to Jita and who would charge me [insert amount of ISk here] to move it. I know their fees is high, but the risks they take by going in this system is very real.

At this time, I find myself low on liquid ISk and assets and therefore would request that you send me [insert ISK here] so that I may have the ship sent back to Jita where I can sell it for the most profit. Rest assured that all the money made from the sale will promptly be given to your foundation since I strongly believe that [Insert Mittani or Sion's name here] is literally Hitler and need to be stopped for the good of the game.

I would also consider joining [Insert dumb pubbie corp in TEST] in order to fight the good fight myself and finally put an end to Goonswarm's domination over our beloved game.

Please be informed that confidentiality of this transaction is of the utmost importance.

Yours Truly

nigerian prince [Insert your name here]

I think you are completely misreading the likely impact of the capital changes. They are becoming a lot more powerful on the whole, and the limitation that you can no longer do capital RR outside of triage is almost completely irrelevant in a situation where you have crushing subcap numerical superiority.

So what is the current state of things? Anyone have any predictions on how the next couple of weeks look? In LSV we've just been doing a lot of tower kill ops and I'm not paying enough attention to my own coalition channels because a lot of people in our coalition outside LSV kind of annoy me.

Hell, I'd be fine with that, but then he should just say that. "We're not going to play by CCPs stupid rules, so gently caress CCP until they change them and in turn we'll spend out time burning everyone else while they grind out our Sov." Done, motivational, and not resorting to loving bullshit.

Yeah we can't really contest them right now so might as well gently caress with CO2.

I'll give away a secret. Sion and Mittens hurfblurf not because any of us are going to believe every word. We don't, really. They hurfblurf because it gets certain members of the enemy so loving wound up about "lies" and "koolaid" and all that EVERY TIME. And those certain members cannot see it for what it is ever. This has been the status quo for ever and it still winds the same people up.

This is the "advertising doesn't affect me " of claims. The idea that mittani is calling everyone into one spot to give a morale speech but at the same time it is ~totally aimed at the enemy~ is a complete load of poo poo.

AAPsel posted:

Honestly I can sympathize with that and I feel a bit bad about about laughing at it. Still, when you're going to outer ring because syndicate is too dangerous, hearing a crying child in the background is just too beautiful to ignore.

LegionAreI posted:

I never thought the day I agree with Eonwe would come. I don't think anyone wanted to lose space, but whoops everyone in Eve decided to latch on to PLs dick for the ride and we are going to suffer for it.
Honestly for everyone who is smugging and hurf blurfing here - the average member who is logging in and keeping up knows that writing is probably on the wall in terms of space. Most of the minions I've talked to are ready to accept that and go on, and are having fun actually doing things while it burns down. If they aren't, well good fortune to them if they decide to quit or go elsewhere, it's a video game.
There's a lot of stuff going on and things to do for both sides, so there's really no reason to make it personal.
Except for those cocksuckers camping EWOK. gently caress them.


It's a lot more of an issue when certain members of the enemy leadership have ties to known RMT, plus discussion of sharing accounts and overly complex isk laundering. Also the logs are loving hilarious and worth a read just to see Boson's ~puppetmastering~ and how much MBC leadership hates each other.

I'll give away a secret. Sion and Mittens hurfblurf not because any of us are going to believe every word. We don't, really. They hurfblurf because it gets certain members of the enemy so loving wound up about "lies" and "koolaid" and all that EVERY TIME. And those certain members cannot see it for what it is ever. This has been the status quo for ever and it still winds the same people up.

So keep at it if the ~narrative~ makes you mad or whatever, but a lot of us are having fun on both sides with a ton of stuff to do, which includes laughing at people for losing ships in dumb ways even if they are allies, laughing at people on both sides getting wound up by the meta, and thinking about what we can do next.

Eve doesn't exist without conflict. Goons might be the big bad enemy right now and we are probably going to eat poo poo and change because of it. But there always has to be an enemy. Who is it going to be next?
