How they were so loving confident that they were going to win, I'll never understand.

They spent literally years telling themselves and everyone else who would listen that Goons only win anything because they blue and blob and that N+1 was an uncounterable flawless strategy. They then assembled N+100,000 into the biggest bluest donut the game has ever seen.

How could they possibly lose???

quote:

Today the floodplains of Fountain that were never supposed to be breached are being settled by several Legacy alliances taking one of the most valuable nullsec regions for themselves. Likewise Period Basis and Querious are being settled. The only thing that remains of the Imperium’s mighty holdings is a single constellation. And if you listen closely you can hear the frantic typing of INN’s propagandists hoping they can narrate themselves into a victory that with each passing day seems less and less likely.

I think it was very difficult for anyone in Brave's upper echelons to make any sort of sane pre-war decisions that would've prolonged their existence solely as pubbie newbie mill into the 3rd decade of an aging game.

Their whole alliance was built around grooming absolute newbies by sticking them into intra-alliance corporations based on functioning such as mining, PVP, etc. without giving these players either the opportunity or the flexibility to diversity/outgrow primarily social groups like the GSF puts emphasis on sigs and squads. The hardcore siloing of clueless new players based on a task and the inability to evolve this paradigm into a mature well-rounded alliance is what lead to the fracturing of their command layer with Brave's PVP and PVE corps looking their own way while lacking any other tenant to unify their members into a part of a larger cohesive entity outside their 'newbie' bond.

Collectively and bravely, but oh so mistakenly Brave's directors with their chief newbiephile Dunk Dinkle decided to stan for Test+Phorde's extermination-fuelled aspirations in hopes of prolonging their own selfish newbie-preying existence in the remote resulting vacuum of the galactic south-west.

I've hosed around with other corps, both high sec and null, and I can't imagine flying with non-goons, let alone going turncoat. And I'm "just" a line member.

I think it's due to going on fleets and the FCs and other pilots being chill with newbees in a tackle frig and showing them the ropes, telling them how/what to tackle and being welcoming.

I guess just the feeling of "everyone matters" sticks with me, from when I was that newbee in a rifter to now with my character than can fly drat near everything and that can afford anything short of a super/titan.

edit: sorry, to stick with the current thread conversation; grumble, grumble corp mail.

"A few months go by, and we've settled down in Querious, Goons have been pushed back to 1DQ constellation, and we're ready to begin our final assault. Unfortunately, the war had already dragged on too long at this point, and while we still had unrivaled logistical support to keep up the fight,"

I really find this particular quote quite hilarious. Unrivaled logistical support from the same guys that nickeled and dimed every of their line members. My little alt corp did a much better job at keeping us supplied with minimal losses. Unlike PAPI as a whole who couldn't seem to not lose jump freighters repeatedly.
