EVE General Discussion

The OP will even sell you one he found with offline POSs and guns!

No, all together, they could do it, but they won't. They all want Someone Else to do it. They don't want to put up their own resources or time, that's someone else's job. "Why won't someone else save us? Why do people expect us to do it ourselves?"

Hate us all you like, but goons and their allies treat each other far better than you pubbies treat each other. Newbies are showered in free isk just for asking, and given free ships to lose repeatedly to build up pvp skill without breaking the bank. Anyone can FC a fleet as long as they can get enough drunken assholes to gang up with them, and no one is required to do anything if they don't want to.

Because of that, we actually are able to organize and work together. If you Empire dorks ever figure that out, you'll be able to band together and finally run us out of Eve.

If every corp that hated GoonSwarm banded together against us, we'd be completely overwhelmed. We wouldn't stand a shadow of a chance.

I'm so doubtful that will ever happen, though, that I'm willing to come in here and spell out exactly how you can beat us.

Nah there is all sorts of space out here.

However, you can't just roll in and wave a finger and start ratting, someone is going to swing by and kick over your sandcastle.

Guess I'll start in the North east.

The DRF is no more (in fact xXDeathXx actually disbanded) Solar holds the majority of the drone regions. IRC sits in Cobalt Edge mining (yes,mining rorques and orcas and hulks and all) and ratting and getting dropped in on constantly by everyone that can get a titan to a POS even relatively close. NC. Sits between Solar and the CFC playing politics to keep their space, essentially this is the Tech Bropact, they shoot each other occasionally, but that is generally where it ends. They have to walk a fine line. Pissing off Solar traditionally isn't good for business, and the CFC can pound away with numbers that It takes pretty much the rest of the map to match.

The CFC, well they are the CFC, put 5 ships on a gate camp, in their space and the response fleet is likely to be triple digit, move in a real fleet and they flood the system with three full 256 man fleets, match that and people are btching and moaning all the way across the cluster about the TiDi. GSF, TEST, RZR, LAWN, SMA, Fatal Assention....all under one umbrella

South of TEST, you find the Thunderdome, Delve, its an oddbal mix of sov and NPS space, and as such extremely hard to hold, because anyone that can put or gain access to a POS can jump in and move around. RA (was) Trying to kick Nulli adn Vera Cruze out, Nulli/VC were waving both fingers in the air with a big old FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU and in came PL, after PL got whacked around a bit they brought in their favorite meatshields TEST and Nulli and RA blued up to try to get rid of the interlopers interfering with their scrap.

Such is life.

Further east you have a pack of regions like Period Basis that are logistic nightmares to live in, but people do, they are usually loosely aligned with -A-, the Southern bloc is generally -A-, ROL, Nulli, FAIL, En Gaurde and SE. All of whom may be blue or neutral.....depending on what is happening.

The map is pretty quiet compared to the beginning of the year, White Noise was steamrolled by the CFC, XdeathX is no more, Raiden had a relatively spectacular fall from grace....

We go and poke at the Goons, and they (much more rarely) come down and give us a visit, but there hasn't been any real serious business stuff (for us anyway) since we booted RA and Co the hell out of Detroid.

Oh you know so little... test is blue with goons... thats 14,000 people about... + TONS of other blues...

Greed drives everything... in eve... blueing almost all of null gives you risk free isk... this covers greed... now you need fun cause all the money in the world is nice but you need "fun"

Fun now comes in the forum of being a bully to HS miners...

look at almost all wars... one of two ways they were won

MASSIVE money

Hit and run.

Well in eve... hit and run does not work, you can't keep hitting an area till you own it because of timers and the like... this leaves us with money

When you can throw tons and tons and tons of people at something... how do you lose?

cfc can lose the isk numbers in any fight... they are making so much passive isk... it does not matter.

Look at the cold war how did the USA win?

Out spent russia.

One could not bully HS miners if they only follow the incredibly good advice of routine forum posters everywhere.

But crying is easier than making some tactical bookmarks around your ratting field of choice and mining aligned and at the keyboard.

Blowing up people who are obviously AFK in space is not bullying.

It's a value-added service.

Soz for enjoying shooting your people while your people shoot rocks, m8. o7

In before he counters with the canned "without us a rifter would cost 100 billion isk" argument.

As a former NC member let me tell you that my main issue with them was the fact they post ponies.

I don't like ponies.

Well, you guys do have both Villy and Boat...

Trolling. Locked.
