I'm pretty sure that in a year or two, 3/4ths of Imperium will be in titans and then the real blue donut will begin. PL and friends already can't contest a timer when goons decide to commit titans and the numbers are only going to get worse for them.

I knew about honey badger alliance but didn't know about killing 2 other keepstars. Beyond another grand coalition is there anything that can stand-up to goons and their allies? Is there any thought of going rogue and loving with test?

Remember back in Dek when people started ratting in carriers and everyone was all "loving retard, don't rat in something that will bring people hot dropping!"  As if they weren't already hot dropping ishtars. Then they said the same thing for supers. Now look at delve.

Keepstar deaths: Shadow Cartel's keepstar in Aeschee (uncontested,) Waffless keepstar in Kinakka (uncontested,) and NCdot's well-defended keepstar in X47 in Pure Blind. The two other keepstars are a development that's only come to light in the last 24 hours. We'd gone and reinforced the  freeport keepstar in Aunenen, which was dropped by Suas and was essentially a nucleation point for unaligned supercap sales, concentrating them in the hands of NCdot and PL. Apparently, however, diplomacy happened, and the owner agreed to unanchor Aunenen's keepstar, as well as another freeport keepstar in Maila, on the other side of The Forge by Geminate and Vale of the Silent.

also NC. was totally not going to defend it because it was a "freeport" totally unconnected to NC. despite being owned by an NC. member, definitely not because the last time they tried to defend a keepstar they got butchered and goons are salivating at a chance for some more 17-1 buchery

the correct way to win at nullsec currently is to mass titans+fax, and drop as many keepstars as possible CFC hasfigured this out, the only question is how it will last

notaspy posted:I knew about honey badger alliance but didn't know about killing 2 other keepstars. One thing about Goons that I've learned over my time in EVE is that they generally stand behind their word. Mittens understands the value of honoring commitments. The history of TAPI is a bit different. I am more worried that TEST is going to do something loving retarded that sours the fragile coalition than I am of Imperium deciding it's time to backstab TEST. And by that I mean I would be more worried, if I ever logged in.

IDK a goon once promised to move my stuff to VFK for free after I paid my 1B application fee, and I still haven't gotten into the alliance... But maybe he didn't break his word... I should probably go ahead and pay the 2Bil AWOX deposit, huh guys? Also on topic of Montolios old shenanigans re: loving over the CFC: I can definitely appreciate where you're coming from and why it was so frustrating, but from TEST's perspective Monty might as well have had the right idea. We would have never had our period of failing and subsequent exodus to lowsec if we had stuck with y'all, and while that period fukkin sukked, we came out the other end a better alliance and have come a LOOONG way since then, rebuilding into an honest to god 'big player' that dont need no Goon. Who knows where TEST would be if we had stuck around in Fountain forever, but we're in a good place now, so no regrets.

Do not mistake individual Goons for the coalition. Goons break their words all the time, the coalition does not. Regarding Test, I may be a bit better about the whole thing, but if it ended up being a good thing for you guys, that's all good. My aversion to test is entirely limited to the confines of the game itself, in the end I hope you all have fun. In a way, I miss the relationship Test and FA had back when both shared Fountain pre-2012.

I don't miss that relationship at all. We did not play nice together and share our toys, and I can only imagine the suffering of Corps Diplomatique at the time. Zagdul had his issues, but on the whole was a solid alliance leader. He was certainly better than what's-his-name who followed Zagdul's immediate successor. At any rate, it was Zagdul who told me to join SA, so I'll always have a soft spot for that piece of good advice on how to spend  .

Maybe it was the Fade time period. I remember FA's FCs starting to get full of themselves in Fountain, though, to the detriment of new players. Taking Fade in bombers and getting a PL cyno home was great, though.
