I am at the part where Remedial stepped down and everyone got a bit annoyed and crashed the CCP forums because they said Band of Brothers was cheating again. In this part of the book Band of Brothers and CCP are sort of dismissing that as silly accusations. I don't understand why they are being so dismissive and flippant when it was proven to have happened before. You sort of lose credibility because of the previous thing. Im 80% of the way through and I am confident that this will be one of my favourite books. Even if it is about a multi player space game ![]()

And the one lost in combat. Good grief. Now I have just read some Goonswarm propaganda. The stuff that is happening in this game is amazing. I mean its almost like real war between countries!

Holy moly did Sir Molle lose three titans altogether? Pandemic Legion ever so sneakily knocking his titan away with a tiny ship so it could be destroyed is fantastic!

There was a great propaganda video from that time frame but it was set private at the start of this war. Which makes me wonder if the person who has it on their channel is one of the ones who left.

hirvox posted:Guess what his essay in the book was about? He runs eve-files, eve-search & eve-offline and is a middleman for supercap sales. Man, I've just realised, once XL citadels start staying alive in low-sec, supercap sales scamming is going to be a thing of the past as they'll be able to be contracted or even open marketed.

I just finished the book! That was exhaustingly good. Please tell me there is another that continues on! I want to know more! Also it is a shame Pandemic Legion and Goonswarm seem to dislike each other now after all their work to stop Band of Brothers/ZenKoku. I can safely say that RVCMF will never be one of those grand universe powers. I do not want that sort of stress. I just want to be known as the happiest miner! ![]()

After reading VG's write-up I really want to buy that book. Oh, that's right: CCP won't go through the extra 15 minutes it takes to enable publishing on the Windows Kindle client. Don't have iOS or Android? Too bad. ![]()

VideoGames posted:I am totally in awe of the subterfuge he helped orchestrate! There's been quite a bit of drama (very recently) surrounding who exactly orchestrated a lot of the subterfuge; The_Mittani has said that he masterminded the whole thing, while Darius JOHNSON, CEO of Goonswarm at the time and Hesiod on these forums, has said that it was more of him, Tamir Lenk, and XTTZ (master of game mechanics) who came up with the plan to disband BOB.
