How can people be so disconnected from reality and so invested in a game? That guy needs serious mental help.

I assume there's a fair amount of eve players who've bought into the "eve is real" bullshit and are wayyyy to wrapped up in this game

you might be able to say the same thing about the ~elite pvp~ alliances but from my experience these people aren't so wrapped up in it, they just like winning (like any "elite" gaming community)

The hate against mittani is so loving unreal. In all honest I blame lowsec/FW as it created this weird, honorable concensual pvp environment. When players get really loving angry that you didn't 1v1 them it's no wonder basic stuff like trying to catch spies upsets their fragile sensibilities so much. These guys would have been loving eaten alive if they had played eve when belt ratting in a raven was the best income yiu could hope for.

We should do a "Leave Mittani alone!" video like that guy did for britney spears.

E: I wonder if Xenuria would do it...

Thinking about that too. Last time we did it with my first CFC corp, we disabled whole region having like 10-12 active people. It was ages ago and we didn't use actual blackops BS too much, but the results were hilarious.
Not sure if it was Etherium Reach or something nearby. We managed to get NPC kills from thousands per day to under to nothing in less than a week after killing some random renters. Best kill we had was this lucky bastard who
warped into our anchored bubble 50 km off station https://zkillboard.com/kill/32107031/. I nearly felt bad when he begged us to let him live.

This particular individual was a really lovely freighter pilot.

I'm not in blops (yet :v:) but ive been playing with them off and on for the last few days. The trick is to just join blackops_pub on jabber, get in comms, ask whats needed, and get out there. Make sure you have patience, as it's very much a feast or famine sort of gig. Also if you lose poo poo, you better have a thick skin and prepare to be laughed at and/or upbraided about how much of an idiot you are.

That was when I deployed topgoon to the Kalevala Expanse. By the time PL showed up to invade half of the towers in the region were unfueled/being dismantled. Whenever I want to discuss a standard cloaky gently caress you deployment, that and the Cobalt Edge blackops deployment always come to mind as being mega successful, not necessarily from a "We're rolling in kills" point of view (Even though we were) but from a "Small group of dudes totally demoralized a group comprised of 2-3000 dudes".

I'll never forget when Solar hired Black Legion to "Buck up" SCDOT in the face of our terror campaign and just how ineffectual Elo Knight was at dealing with us. The only time his fleet scored a success was during the "Christmas Nano Hac Roam" where we put a 3 day old newbie in charge.

He had a free weekend that ended up lasting till a Tuesday and then went back to winning Eve, which was claimed by the other side as a demoralizing blow for goons, because our best FC jumped ship (despite not being on that ship for quite a while) in a dire time of need or something.

I can give you the short: The giant war is going to be long and drawn out. We're definitely not winning, but we haven't lost yet. Our enemies have taken a majority of our space, but can only beg for more of our assets to be destroyed than we are allowing.

This as a basic line member who wasn't playing EVE until after the last great war ended, and without any authority on anything, this is my point of view.

I'm pretty sure they're still claiming that Vily was our #1 and only competent FC and his jumping ship was the most crippling loss in GSF history

Everyone needs to learn the art of cloak warfare. 25 dudes can make an entire region difficult if they know what they are doing. 60 dudes can make it unlivable. Blackops has killed far more poo poo than it's lost so far, and on top of it we've been freeporting stations in fade with little to no resistance (We just dropped sov in a system last night, and there are more to follow). From my understanding reavers is enjoying similar success.

We should give space violence a constelation and tell them "Everything you do there is strategic" then do double payouts on entosis svipuls or whatever. Just form goons up in squads of 60 and set them loose on a constellation.

I'm pretty sure that most of branch could be re-taken by like, 10 guys.
