I actually logged off last night before the caracal stomp because half our fleet was having weird client issues, and figured they wouldn't be a round two. :welp:


I wasn't really in the fleet either, just buzzing around in an interceptor. I reported your fleet docked up and then again when they undocked but the babby FC didn't get safed up in time and died.

quote:

Most of our allies share two common traits.

1. I don't know who most of them are.

2. I can't stand them.

I imagine this is what dealing with FCON/FA for years felt like for Goons.

Not really, actually? As a whole our blue list is smaller in terms of actual alliances so there's less people to know.

FA was like a kid brother always getting in fights and needing big bro to come help sort poo poo out and FCON were the weird cousins really into anime and RP, but aside from certain groups that they wouldn't blue (rip HS) they were pretty solid on the whole. This is my personal feeling at least, although I spent much of my ~space career~ in TNT due to loyalty to the corp I was in, so maybe the tone was different within GSF.

CO2 is like the third cousin twice removed that would show up sometimes when you needed to bail out little bro but was always jealous that your parents weren't drunks and you didn't have bruises so they tried to have you cut out of grandma's will and caused a blood feud

There's your problem right there.

As for genuine progress in the war. GSF is not making any. The main strategy at the moment is to try and wait out the MBC. To bore them until their member participation in the north drops below GSF numbers. Then to roll the north and take it back.


I don't care how the war goes. What I do care about is what direction the group I am in is going. GSF and the Imperium at the moment exists for one single purpose. To gather page viewers, stream viewers and ad clickers for TMC. That is the first priority. Internet spaceships is secondary. And because Mittens literally lives on this Alliance, his stake in it has become so serious that no means. Inside or outside the game are spared to advance it. And all that makes me sick to my stomach. Which is why I left.

When I joined Horde the conflict had started to turn. O1Y was bubbled most of the day and swordfleets often held the station grid. I expected Horde to be ousted from Fade within the month.

I think people are most susceptible to narratives when they don't attend meetups with EVE players. EVE nerds in a crowd blend together and after holding conversations with random individuals in that crowd you realize people you call enemies and allies are very similar. Only after people experience the Christmas Truce that is an EVE meet do they have the perspective to understand propaganda and narrative are make believe or spin.

I think its kind of sad and telling that some people actually need to attend meetups to understand this point.

I don't have that many friends that live less than an hour from me by car. It's not uncommon at a certain point. However I always have willing board game players if I need them. I just think that you're insinuating "you don't have any RL friends" and that's sort of pants c'mon.

I don't think I could do an all-eve type thing unless it was vegas and I had a place to retreat from the masses to.

My impression of you is that you don't seem to be the kind of guy who would be stupid enough to get in a drunken fight over something this silly. But then again, I don't know you so. :shrug:

I used to show up a internet meets back in the days then I realized that I just don't like people enough to bother anymore. I also don't drink at all, which makes meetups rather boring when everyone around you are drunk as gently caress, slurring their speech and in a completely different mindset than you are. Not liking alcohol kinda sucks.

Eh.. I'm not a violent person and I got a lot of that out of my system a while ago. I don't drink very much either -- more the :420: and :birddrugs: type honestly. I am not "very much myself" at all in this context. If I showed up at a goonp without a nametag no one would know who the hell I was.

Not a loving chance, you'd have to move in heavy as gently caress to overwhelm whatever they had in space, (Hard Knocks has probably the highest concentration of capitals in wormhole space, virtually every member has multiple capitals), and camp them for MONTHS while the citadel ran out of fuel. If they managed to get even a couple DSTs full of fuel into the system during this, they'd be able to keep pushing the date the citadel runs out of juice out basically forever.

E: XLs have no fuel requirements for meaningful self-defense poo poo, they're essentially beefed-up outposts, that thing is basically unkillable ever.

I'd be shocked if HK even comes close to ever getting evicted. They're pretty much the strongest high class wormhole group and they're also allied with Lazerhawks. Overload This is moving on up in the wormhole world in terms of power, but who else is there to contest Lazerknocks now?

Why would you want to do that? Only the market, cloning(no med cloning in wspace though), and refining use fuel iirc. Being out of fuel won't shut down anything else.
