Now, now. They could still work something out. Everyone is being so grim! Surely, the superlative skill and the years of not only fighting experience, but resource acquisition into their home wormhole combined with the home turf mechanics will see them safely through. We can't even drop titans on them -- how are we filthy, unskilled nullsec players supposed to compete?

Your fundamental attitude is why the game will eventually stagnate and die a slow, boring death.

As Winners of Eve Online: Noted Molasses Submarine Jousting Simulator, it is our responsibility... nay, our BURDEN! to comport ourselves to a higher standard than the riffraff we lord over. We are obligated to disarm ourselves and make ourselves easier to fight. If we don't, then the game will literally die. Much like the World Wildlife Fund, it is our job to care for an endangered species.

I'm actually showing a lot of restraint, I'll have you know. I'm avoiding talk about Hard Knocks and their potential failure, because it hasn't happened yet. All the doomsaying is fair game though.

I took a gander at the 4chan thread and it went from "HK won't be evicted" to "If you evict us, worse landlord tyrants will replace us without us to keep them in check!" in the space of 24 hours.

Death to the space rentier class that won't even put up a fight for the rent it squeezes tithes it demands from its serfs.

Usually what happens with null dwellers trying to encroach on w-space is the null folks get kicked out hard (key word: usually). HK losing hole control meant they got complacent. It was only a matter of time, as I said, before their hubris got them.

Supposedly The InitiativeDOT had been seeding freighters loaded with ravens into J115405 for an entire year. I don't know if that's actually true or not, but if so, goddamn.

Hole control, in wormhole context, is basically making sure that no one can get into your system via the statics and wandering holes. You crush all the non-static holes, then you basically crit all the statics so that one ship passing through (usually a specially fit Hic), will close the hole. Rinse repeat.

It's more of an enjoyable laughter. If its true that Init have been seeding for a loving year that's a huge amount of effort that should be applauded.

It's this. Hard Knocks was pretty much pre-casino goons. "Bring it, bitches", and when the bitches came to bring it en masse, the obvious result happens.
