I have a friend in Test who keeps saying that they can just blueball PL until PL has to go defend MBC space from the evil Goons so its no big deal. Because apparently PL can't actually fight MBC members because PL is obligated to defend them for the rest of time or something.

I hope you prove him wrong.

Their subs are amazing - and considering I grew up in New Jersey I like to think I know something about subs.

Their fried chicken and mojo pork are really loving good, too. Actually, all of their meat is really good. If we discovered that it was all actually made of horses or people or something, I would be completely unfazed.

Now I have to have Publix for lunch. Fortunately my office is has three of them less than a half mile from us.

Publix is probably the best grocery I've ever been to, hands down. I don't know how to explain it, but their layout just seems so incredibly efficient that, having never been inside one, I still knew exactly where everything was based on common sense. And their store brands are 10/10

PL is in a very weird place now, politically. Ostensibly, they will re-blue (or at least stop shooting) the MBC if the Goons attempt to gain sov or ever establish a foothold in Deklein again. This was a point they reiterated again and again on a dozen podcasts and on Reddit. But if they do that, then the Goons can essentially dictate when and where PL can do their thing - e.g. if PL goes balls deep in a war against TEST, and Goons suddenly make strides in Deklein or push into another territory, PL would have to chose between abandoning their efforts against TEST or allowing a Goon resurgence just to continue fighting an MBC ally.

If they choose to focus on Goons, we can always go back to Saranen - rinse and repeat, until some opportunist comes along and changes the dynamic again.

The alternative is that the two strongest MBC players continue fighting each other while Goons are given a free hand.

They have McVitties, Lion Bars, Salad Cream, Mushy Peas, and Branston Pickle, too. I had a Mancunian roommate in college, and when he found out about that he almost cried.

This isn't an unfamiliar political situation we find ourselves in- and, it's summer time before the AT. I don't think there's going to be a lot of ~serious business~ stuff happening, and it's probably the best time for GSF to get fights, since TEST will throw the whole drat kitchen at us, and if we come back to southern Pure Blind/Saranen, we get what? More hurricanes? That's not a really hard choice to make- obviously if there's not one, we can take the other (hopefully by surprise). The 17ly divide between Hakonen and Saranen is less than a dozen gates- ideally GSF doesn't make itself a juicier target than TEST and we continue to push Vily over the boiling point.

TEST is strong in numbers, not so much in talent, they're still very much in the shadow of NC. who is on a recruiting spree. Given what Vily has been harping about on reddit, and Sapporo calling this POS nonsense 'an act of war'- TEST will most likely remain our focus. Unless you know, something retarded happens like Darkness. gets all emo again, and flips sides.

No idea, but it's a fairly good time for them to do so.

I don't know that their participation in the MBC will attract a lot of people, as far as recruitment goes... but if you imagine PL as some kind of plague, or natural disaster which just occasionally sweeps through null and low-sec making the locals violently poo poo themselves and occasionally destroying a trailer park, then the fact that NC. has a functional immunity to that happening can be very appealing.

good.luck.

If you're looking for a factual retelling of what happened you can look at the changes in territory ownership. Everything beyond that is interpretation and you'll need experience to recognize when someone is trying to feed you their story. hint: it's always someone's story.
