probably wouldn't have had everyone hurfing up a storm if people didn't know it was a pl keepstar

of course, it would have also helped them not to announce that whatever the PLSuperhighway calls itself would drop a keepstar there a month ago

what no what was said was "make more friends than us and you can beat us" it just took 5 years for it to happen

now if you want to say "lol you guys spent months crowing about how this was just speeding up the timeline and lol made you grind structures" that's fair...to pin on some of the directors

This is pretty spot on. I've never seen us state "We can't lose" without adding the qualifier "Unless the other side smartens up".

Even when the group came at us with even numbers we generally won the overall fight due to superior co-ordination. It's only when the other groups figured out that whole N+1 thing that's literally been the only subject of every eve war for the last six years I've been playing that we finally lost.

The far more interesting story is how that N+1 was allowed to come about imo. It was a perfect storm of skill atrophy plus hubris plus great sums of isk poured liberally over anyone with or without a grudge. We could probably spend years dissecting each decision made over the last couple of years and pinpoint dozens of hotspots that implied poo poo was going to go bad. Some will say it was an isk thing and nothing but that, others that maybe viceroy was a bit too stupid/evil. I'm still not convinced that having notable personalities shift sides completely didn't feed into it greatly. To me this is the fun of eve. The spaceships are the side show.

Really you quoted the answer to that very question. But for the long form version...

I'm trying to frame my answer in a way that doesn't seem like I'm coming off as a bit dickish but I don't really know how that's possible.

I had a bad run in with Suas in 2012 when we were both squad leaders and a lot of his dudes were splitting his fleets to come join me instead "Because at least we're not shooting pos." and he had a meltdown at me and kicked me out of SV for giving him the reasons I was given "Some of your dudes would rather PVP than protect your private syndicate moon empire." which was all true by the way. Subsequent following of his actions and digging into poo poo like specops/titan thefts and renting goonfleet belts seems to always point to the same poo poo on a cyclical nature. Suas doesn't put out for long periods unless he's getting something in return. Trephination my co-squad leader at the time had the same loving attitude and it used to drive me absolutely batshit, fortunately I was in a position to cut his rear end off at the knees (Till I left).

In my view if you are a corp leader/alliance leader/squad leader/any kind of leader you shouldn't be viewing your membership as a group of people who can further your own personal financial goals. You should be the vehicle that takes them to theirs. I was loving destitute most of the time I spent in an admittedly entirely volunteer leadership role. Why? "You need a ship for tonights fleet? Got you covered. We need fuel? We'll rob my carrier. Need a logistics run? I'll run a chain to lowsec and help ship in ships."

And now his Sov is mysteriously untouched in tribute because he's building supers for the side that evicted his alliance? Unless he's deep cover GIA that makes him the biggest shitbird in the world, even if it was a complete utter sack of OTHER shitbirds that he was betraying.
