Yeah, at the time both Orange Juche and I were under the assumption it was JDC skill issues not numbers being sent in issues. Someone on Discord explained it was the numbers jumping in and a bit of a cyno problem.

What does the MBA plan to do with imperium space once they take it all? I assume it's getting carved up and distributed "evenly" between the member groups? I imagine that will be a drama-free and fair process.

afaik TEST is the only one who has laid a claim for anything in the north, they're likely going to take pieces/all of deklein as a giant gently caress You to GSF

HORDE may also abandon the south for something up north, because that's supposedly going to be the site of the next foreverwar for the next 5 years and Gobbins is all about content

These seem to show some internal dissent at some of the less logical moves TMC pulls off, so maybe this also extends to the clickbait articles?

It's like watching people formulating and towing the party line in action.

Why do they keep changing the name over and over? It's not even the name mittens himself has used up until this point? Is it some kind of narrative thing? Literally the entire community uses the World War Bee name now except for a select handful of zealots. Is it because the war is totally outside of their control so they're trying to hold on to some semblance of self-determination? At this point, even their own readership (whats left of it outside GSF proper I suppose) is going to be confused because they've used 20 different names for a conflict whereas the community at large uses one that is wholly different. And that's the one people will remember long into the future.

Is "War of Sovless Aggression" some kind of awful, awful play on what Confederates cheekily called the Civil War? How is that even applicable in any way to what is happening here? Also are images and rhetoric of long dead Confederates really what TMC wants to conjure in justification of their narrative? Because the Confederate cause was so incredibly just, right? What an unbelievably neckbearded name to come up with.

I'm so confused. :confuoot:

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

I mean it wasn't exactly a secret, it was loving pennies, and holy poo poo that's not RMT, that's paying space people space money to write articles about space for the space community and having some ads so that maybe you can keep doing your space thing without losing money hand over fist because you're operating a significant set of web services pro bono.

Not that I'm disagreeing but:

1) Isk was used from the alliance wallet to pay writers
2) Those writers wrote articles, generating site traffic (or a large portion of the site traffic therein, as little was organic, and writers are still paid ISK for non-EVE articles)
3) The site traffic drove ad revenue because banners
4) Revenue from these banners via clicks provided via articles written with alliance ISK was enough to pay Tegi a slave wage salary in IRL money and allowed mittens (presumably) to pay server costs and pocket the rest of the IRL money
5) So you are literally converting ISK to IRL money and profit

But people are hurfblurfing over someone from TISHU accusing people of RMT

I'm just wondering if this is the correct line of logic, please correct me if I'm genuinely wrong, I'm not trying to be cheeky.
