The fleets we had logged-in, both super and sub-cap, were a long way from that zone. I mean, the imperium were never going to jump in supers when outnumbered almost 3:1 in subcaps alone.

I don't know the truth and it will likely remain obscured for some time, but I think it more likely the 300-super blob was a nuclear deterrent to keep us from trying anything sneaky with our own caps, and also to show the Serbian man with the small penis that he was backing the right horse

Mostly it's motivated by a desire to do something for the alliance, but maybe I'm just speaking for myself. Having said that, high performers for various tasks (GSOL, reimbursement, etc) do get PLEX as a thank you for their efforts. That's not exactly advertised though as that really isn't the point of volunteering for those kinds of jobs.

I was TNT's reimbursement director for about 2 years and did it because I was out of work and it made me feel useful. I even got my team paid and never was paid any isk other than what the rest of the guys would get if they processed kill mails. That said, most larger, well funded alliances provide isk or plex to useful people. I just chose to give most of our budget to the people doing the grindy work because I didn't need it.

Edit: I mean, that pretty clearly sounds like an expectation that a lot of CO2 members will feel like they've been put upon and want to stay in the Imperium. Alternately, and I've been out of the loop for ages, it's standard hurfing / blurfing of "The members of the traitor alliance aren't happy with their leadership" regardless of whether the assertion that there's dissent in CO2 is true of false?

Looks like they lost 10% of their members, that's definitely not insignificant

Rhymenoserous posted:

Yeah I'm going to be that guy that speaks dissent at this moment. But the primary movers in Co2 have always had a culture unto themselves, the two most likely alliances to break that would keep their memberships fairly intact are them and init. The expectation that they'd shatter like most CFC alliances when leadership made the break was simply unrealistic.

This is unlike lawn/sma/bastion etc who's culture can basically summed up by one of those catfish you buy for your fishtank, all they do is suck garbage off the walls all day.

This was true perhaps when you last played a bunch but lawn and bastn have both turned into pretty competent groups over the last year or so.

Sion said that Reddit echo chambers don't represent the whole Eve community. The war was as irrelevant as any territorial war in Eve, but was certainly the largest event going on at the time: it was basically the CFC's civil war. The six-figure thing is simple: the author has a good job. This was apparently hard for some people to understand.

This was frankly the one part of the Kickstarter that I didn't really buy. Most people, when pursuing their dream (writing career) and doing something like the fountain book would just suck it up and do it for something less than a full replacement of their office job salary.

Not gonna lie, I think something like this would be incredibly fun, but that's also because I'm a rich enough player where the loss of SRP wouldn't hit me nearly as hard. The reality of the current moon money meta (as I understand it from my limited perspective at least) is that for goons to enjoy the generous SRP and other perks that we currently provide, we do need to keep hold on what we've got.

Goons living in Thera or Delve would be pretty cool to me though.

Actually if we didn't have as much sov / jump bridges to maintain we could maintain srp with far less central income. Right now a significant chunk of the budget goes to paying sov bills

I've hung out in her chat and haven't seen the "show us your tits" thing personally but honestly I wouldn't be surprised. Regardless, that stuff is also dumb as gently caress to do. I'm just saying it's dumb and bad to go out of your way to harass someone over their personal life because it has little to do with the actual game being played.


Fair enough. I doubt she intentionally did it to get subscriptions but that's a difference of opinion. Laz mentioned his grandmom or whatever being ill on stream, so mocking him over it would be just as bad imo. I just dislike the whole "let's use personal things about this person over this game" stuff that happens from time to time. I'd much rather mock Laz for his fits than his personal life.

In the SC thread Lowtax had to come in and stop people from talking about one of the CIG staffers personal life that had nothing to do with the game or it's development. It was bad and was rightly told to stop being done, so that's sort of the mindset I'm coming from. Regardless thanks for the civil response Vyst.


No, if they're held down by ewar they don't get booshed including the CD. That's why in the vid I posted I was asked if I was scrammed. If I was the MJFD would've thrown the other guys forward but not me.

I think. I haven't really ever had that happen to me yet.

If you don't actually know then stop making poo poo up

If you scram a CD it stops the MJD field from firing and thus nobody gets boosted.

Where the hell do people get money like this. Christ. Had you asked me a few months ago whether I thought something so niche as an EvE Online gambling site would be popular enough to make good cash, I'd have knee-jerked a "no." I shouldn't be surprised -- Somerblink was huge as well. It is just hard to wrap my head around the sheer volume of transactions needed to amass retarded wealth like that.

What would places like Somerblink or IWI make on each transaction? We talking about a ballpark of, like, 5%? 1%? 0.001% on each user transaction?

Most eve gambling sites take about a 13% spread which is in line with real life slots or many table games. So on a 1bn isk raffle the site has made about 130m

Attn: Sir/Madam Ok Baby,

I seize this opportunity to extend my sincere hope that you will be successful in this endeavour.

I am certain that by the time you read this EVE mail, you will already have defeated the ~evil goons~ that plague New Eden. I was passing by Jita and decided to use this opportunity to send you this mail believing that my donation is the one that will ensure your success.

My name is [Insert name here] and I am currently in the possession of a very valuable ship which I would be willing to sell solely for the purpose of donating you the ISK to wage your war. Unfortunately, this ship is currently locked in a station in [insert system here] which I am unable to dock in. The only way I can get this ship back is by having [insert logistic corp here] ship it back to Jita and who would charge me [insert amount of ISk here] to move it. I know their fees is high, but the risks they take by going in this system is very real.

At this time, I find myself low on liquid ISk and assets and therefore would request that you send me [insert ISK here] so that I may have the ship sent back to Jita where I can sell it for the most profit. Rest assured that all the money made from the sale will promptly be given to your foundation since I strongly believe that [Insert Mittani or Sion's name here] is literally Hitler and need to be stopped for the good of the game.

I would also consider joining [Insert dumb pubbie corp in TEST] in order to fight the good fight myself and finally put an end to Goonswarm's domination over our beloved game.

Please be informed that confidentiality of this transaction is of the utmost importance.

Yours Truly

I think you are completely misreading the likely impact of the capital changes.

This actually isn't even true any more, new cap reps will end up being about 60% as effective as old cap reps so the super ball will still in fact work and they are even more destructive to subs than before.

They did it again later when I was fighting some exodus try hards off an Ihub, 20 supers and a bunch of geddons

Bet TEST felt real good when they got abandoned inside a small, ungunned pos by all their allies

There have been 3-4 fleets out steadily for 6 plus hour stretches, if people joined them instead of sitting around waiting for a Grindr it would be interesting

frozenphil posted:

CainFortea up here is right. If you actually log in and join fleets you'd be having fun too. Maybe don't read forums so much?

Been having more fun playing this dumb game than for any time in years. If you're high browing caracal fleets you're missing out - at least if the fc has half an idea what they're doing

MiniLuv, reavers, HS. Yup, there certainly are not sigs that go out and do poo poo during peace time.

SV is still a thing

scandoslav posted:

This was my plan for HS, but I could never destroy Theta. :argh:

Managed to kill off SV, TopGoon, and most of BlackOps, though.

SV isn't dead, it's just different from what it was when you and I both started.

Reavers is mostly dead, or is on a deployment-only thing (only active when deployed).

It was pretty stupid.


Fair.


I like how the last 20 pages are 'LOL we're not going to fight you 4:1' but you expect 30 dudes to fight a 60 man Swordfleet + a 70 man WL Mach/Muninn fleet.


I'm not what you would call an FC. I just show up and shoot things and find other ways to be useful.

Also- I'm in Sniggerdly, premiere powerhouse pvptriage feeding corporation in the Pandemic Legion alliance.


This isn't what happened, at all. You're free to think it is however.

You warped your supers on grid which had the effect of me going lol nope so it doesn't really matter what your motivations were

:wink:

Swordfleet/Jackdaws/Caracals don't matter, we fight that outnumbered all the time.

My point was- we're not going to feed to Elo, and I personally, am not going to feed to Fweddit.

:ironicat:

'You guys should totally feed but feeding is dumb lol why would we do that"

I wish I was this good at talking out of both sides of my mouth

nessin posted:

If you're trying to catch up to a existing fleet, unless they're literally next door or hitting something in lowsec, you're probably not going to make it. You don't even stand a good chance in a interceptor because at least one gate is going to have a smart bomb setup on it.

This is about having enough to undock rather than trying to get people to catch up


SV does 'things which are interesting and don't require or want 100 dudes', which includes small gang / gatecamps / bombing bombers / torp bombers / secret squirrel poo poo / whatever

So as I said it's different from old SV but still a place that is fun and doesn't require grindring through tidi

My head canon is that you and your 'brother' or cousin that got you caught for spying are just multiple personalities and you let the crazy seep out for a minute


Unironically this - paraphrasing a line from GD, this is ruling where you stand. Control of moon resources for alliance income is good to some extent and provides options for resource and market fuckery, but why make arbitrary flag planting objectives? The alliance that gets their name on the map is the one that controls the space through some objective activity measure, with citadels being the focus for set piece battles


I laughed way harder than I should have at that

Fair point. I don't really see posts on what it's actually like right now, though it's surprising that you still get ones about good fits and how to do things in game here, even while the biggest war in a year is going on.

This may surprise you, but many of us don't give two shits about the specifics of the war other than 'yay poo poo to shoot at' so there remains plenty of mental bandwidth for things such as which meta shield extender is better

What IS happening? Are there any fleet battles outside bombers and interceptors? Are there evacuating convoys, or is that part over now? The super's and and I guess all the ships everyone has are in Sarnanam, are there fire sales in Deklien of the ratting stuff, or is everyone keeping their stuff in the assumption that you'll reconquer the place in a month?

Though there are fleet battles to be had...vs CVA?

We ganked their dreads and then avoided the inevitable super drop

The former was inevitable, GSF is rapidly growing as it absorbs basically every SMA and FCON member with two brain cells to rub together.

The latter, not quite inevitable, but a sensible move as we're doing less ratting than in previous months -- it extends our warchest by years. Reminder: We are literally the only alliance in the game who's ever done peacetime SRP.

Nah, TNT had one at least as good on many things by the time I left, dunno about anyone else tho
