The number of members who have left TEST in the last 24 hours is pretty staggering.
In the interests of a fair and balanced discussion (lol) I find it necessary to point out that in the last announcement BoodaBooda made, he did mention purging a bunch of corps and inactive members. Do you know whether these are people quitting vs being purged? Dotlan shows the number of corps dropping by atleast 5 or so, which seems to indicate a purge rather than quitters.

That said, obviously there are people leaving because TEST's direction is not one they are happy with.

I recently got to talk to a member of TEST alliance as he settled into his home in Aridia.


Overview of the conversation:
+ The whole campaign started when we were betrayed by our friends, the Goons
+ TEST never took the campaign seriously, EVE is most people's second or third game here, we like to have fun.
+ Long before "6V" ever started TEST had agreed they would only pursuit the war to the extent it kept their members happy.
+ Delve was given up because of the limited available of "Summer Fun" most TEST members are out playing IRL.
+ Goonswarm takes this game seriously, and we are happy they receive that which they value, we however, value family time.
+ Nobody in TEST feels let down or betrayed, the leadership did an excellent job.
+ Everyone in TEST is in a good disposition and we have nothing to be sad about, we are still very powerful.

The general message seems to be much brighter than the Mittani website might suggest, they didn't want those regions anyway.

They formed the HBC, a coalition with the intent of wiping us off the map. They also ragepinged for hours to get 500+ dudes to join in on the dogpile against us in Asakai, and they also turned their back on us regarding an agreement over Querious. But we betrayed them by invading Fountain after all of this!

the test ~narrative~


At least TEST learned something from the Goons ... the laughable propaganda.

Gloating is not the same thing as being desperate for attention. And there's nothing we love more than a good gloat.

In addition to not caring or wanting anything anyway and having families while the others of course do not, were you also pretend drunk? Lol That would tick all the boxes... Bear

If you have any roles this is the time to steal whatever you can and get out.

Another -1000 TEST members today. That's -1300 since yesterday total. Keep up the tally in here.

test leadership has proven their failures though actions.
I may hate goons, and their leaders, for their morality, but no one can question their competency.

if test leaders truly believe that 7 systems in Aridia will support, let alone satisfy, 10,000 plus chars, those leaders have no business running a group like that.

goons run their organization as a business, ruled by an iron glove.
Their leader may make the statement , that he is a "River to my people!".
That is of course, a total lie, but enough believe it to make the falsehood powerful.

test has no leaders with that kind of credibilty with their line members.
goons, on the other hand, dribble down enough trinkets, and provide enough victories and distractions, to keep the goon masses at bay.

the goon leadership learned the value of "bread and circuses" long ago.
test leadership does not seem to have the capability to learn that lesson.

That is why we have a situation today where one group dominates Eve, while the only challenger to that hegemony slowly self-destructs.

So far, everything is proceeding as I had forseen it, except TEST folding a few months earlier than predicted, but then that N3 sov drop was kinda out of the blue.
