I want to play a game called "what's the nickname?" where we get to ask questions and answer questions.

What's Amarrian Vengeance's nickname?
What's Nezmor's Golden Griffin's nickname?
What's In Exile's nickname?
What are the rest of the Amarr alliance nicknames?

Okay my turn
What's Iron Oxide's nickname? Iron Dockside, Iron Blobside, Iron Tardside, etc.
What's Swift Angel's Alliance nickname? Swift Idiots, Swift Dockers
What's TRIAD's nickname? triadnooblets, triharder, triedbutdiedandbroughteveryonetokillafrigate

What does this have to do with anything? Nothing. I just can't get to a PC for a couple more days.




CAN I PLAY?

1. The 'Super Chairs'
2. Didn't know any Minnies survived fighting Cynthia long enough to come up with a nickname.
3. Dunno this one.
4. Dan Carter Murrays slaves.

Am I right?

My favorite part of this resurgence so far has been EM and Empty Mirror offering TMFED 500 million isk to stop plexing Helgatild. Priceless.

It is really fascinating to see how a serious topic can drift towards complete bullshit over the time of a week.

Okay back to topic then.
I don´t think it is a pendulum. I think what we will see is a big fw breakdown after CCP has f... it up completely.
Some weks ago I was in cal/gal fw and it was completely dead. Flying around 4h to get 3 fights. Couple of weeks later I have placed my alt in there and I am astonished: It is even more dead now. I have left my suicide toon 6h afk in cal/gal fw lowsec and didn´t get killed. LOL.
Amarr/min is going to be dead too. Never had so little activity in that warzone.
Minnies are completely broken. But why? Well after seeing more and more newbie farming locusts and russian language in militia chat after we arrived at T3 I think I know why.
The good old pvp guys in min mili were angry to see only russian language and lp locusts in militia channel. They couldn´t identify with it any more and thought "oh my god what has become of this militia". Plus seeing that their pvping was worthless while the rusmatar horde farmed everything down in stabbed cloaky stuff making billions of isk.
People who want pvp see that the system of fw is completely broken and leave. Even the main fcs of the minnis left.
I don´t think it was Sahtogas that broke the minnies. Their own farming horde broke them.
The result is now that cal/gal is dead like hell and amarr/min is going to end that way too.
In earlier times you undocked in Kam and had 5mins later a fight. Now you roam around and are happy having a kill within 3h.
Farming horde is killing fw.
Just waiting when the farming horde will arrive in amarr militia. Actualy they haven´t but it is only a question "when" and not "if".

I can see this is being a good reason. I have been keeping tabs on the militia numbers. When Amarr was down to just Sahtogas, the minmatar faction had over 6400 people, while amarr was just under 3600. Two weeks ago, when Amarr entered Tier 2, and just before minmatar dropped to T2, it was still 3600-ish amarr and 6300-ish minmatar. As of 12 hours ago when I last checked, with amarr holding firmly in Tier 3 status and looking to jump to T4, and minmatar dangerously close to tier 1, amarr is up to 3800+ (not a huge increase in numbers, but an increase) and minmatar down to under 5800, a loss of some almost 600 pilots.

Another thing to notice, the minmatar havn't been able to capture any of the systems that amarr took from them. They had one system vulnerable, and PL hot-dropping it kept them from taking it. And since then the Amarr have got it back down to under 40%. That was halfway through last week. Since that poit, amarr has flipped almost 20 systems in very rapid succession. One minmatar corp offered to pay some amarr corp 500 million to stop plexing their system.

It will be interesting to see what happens to the numbers if Amarr hits Tier 4 in the next 3-4 days (very possible).

Looks like we are playing different games. Yesterday for example we have been so busy defending our home constellation that I even had problems to go for a one minute bio brake (it is really time someone invents pods in RL). WT comming from left, right and center to get shot at. From my perspective at least with regards to the Minmatar / Amarr frontline FW is very alive in the EU-evening time zone.

Someone actually giving data in an eve-o thread. Shocked

This happened before. And I am not exactly sure what happened. But I predict this will happen:

The new amarr will go to farm space in caldari gallente space for a while getting the nice lp bonus. The amarr pvp corps will get tired of the rabbit plexing fw requires to hold high tiers.

The minmatar on the other hand seem to have an endless supply of energy for rabbit plexing.

Just looking through the api data I see a good pvper Zarnak Wulf was 27th as far as most vp gained yesterday (380 vp). Looks like only three kills that day though 5/13/13. Still better than my 3 losses and no kills for yesterday.
