Warfare & Tactics

You mean, "I want all Caldari go to same place so it's easier for us to blob them since yes, we do outnumber them 2:1 at all given times".

Also, another of your miltiia members saw it courteous enough to call me a pedophile today (Recnarion from Lusitan Initiative). I wonder if CCP takes any action from petition. Most likely not, probably gives him some SP for a job well done.

Also, the article is biased piece of drivel but what is to expect from Goonies since their alt alliance is fighting on gallente side anyway.

You're the gift that keeps giving, Damar. You generate so much content. I don't know where GalMil would be without you.

I didn't want to post this yet, but here we go.

People discuss stats without knowing what they are talking about.

Here is the Fac War stats raw off the feed: http://facwarstats.appspot.com/

This was the stats I built my spreadsheet that I posted here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ai-Di2DS6zcTdFktVjhWVFU2bVJjb2syd2hybUhIMkE#gid=0

As you can see, there are more Caldari then Gallente. If you cannot motivate or work with the people you DO have, that is a failure of leadership, not recruiting.

I really hope Happy Endings stay, I HOPE Caldari use this as a rallying point, instead of a chance to make excuses and wine. When Gallente was "behind" we HTFU and banded together. The results is what you see today. We are not that difficult to stop I promise, we have done some boneheaded things too.

But most of all, please stop using numbers as an excuse. I was ganked the other day 3 v probably around 15 by Caldari who all boasted how leet they are. Ganks are ganks, fights are fights.

The numbers aren't a excuse they are fact just live in Black Rise for a month and actually look at gangs going around from caldari and gal's. There is a huge difference, you keep pulling numbers off a chart and ill say it again they are not actual numbers. The numbers you have provided just show the amount of people in a certain militia not the amount of active pvpers in low sec.

Everyone ganks, everyone gets ganked. If fair fights are what you are looking for go drop a can outside jita 4-4. Though that rebuttal doesnt apply any more lol.

It really is tedious to see the same people whining over and over again that they get blobbed when just as often they blob whenever the chance comes. If you get blobbed over and over again it really is a failure of your intel, target selection and ability to divide an enemy force one way or another.

Even more tedious are the people (person) who is crying the loudest about how unfair things are for him when he has absolutely no interest in fairness and blobbed gallente for a solid year when we were on our asses and had no occupancy (before my time).

With those sentiments, i think the current system is pretty fair. Time for calmil to employ the resources that they have to get off the bottom rung. Shame most of the personalities hate each other. For good reasons it seems.

The application would be a bit of a stretch since it's, well, a video game. People play video games for enjoyment and to unwind. Relatively few people experience moral qualms about doing violence to pixels. Death is a transitory game state rather than an existential end that heightens stress levels. You can stop playing at any time.

If people 'burn out' of EVE, it's generally because they get tired of the game, not because of stress-induced mental breakdown. Often, they come back after playing other games.

For the sake of my own mental health, I have avoided looking too deeply into the phenomenon of Damar Rocarion. There are pathos at work here, the investigation of which will lead one down a dark and uncertain path.

Better to accept that Damar exists, that the yawning chasm of the universe is vast enough to produce such things, and that, at any given time, Damar is orbiting a button somewhere.

Holy Sh*t Kraken's on tv!!!!!!!!

In all seriousness gents, lets not try and escalate the drama over an internet spaceship game shall we? :P

People usually get tired of same ships, same fights and same escalations over and over again but hey I'd gladly suicide my fleet if I see bunch of you knuckleheads out there causing trouble.

It has been really fun for the past 7 months and behalf of my guys, so thanks for putting up fights instead of rolling in with bunch of t1 frigates (you know who you are :P)

We have been blobbed and we did blob so both sides have a valid argument.
It's hard to determine a fair fight on usual basis, even though everyone bitches about it hehe.

Stats wise would suggest considering the possibility of many many many gal alts safely reallocating themselves in calmil?
Won't be surprised if bunch of people dropped caldari to switch sides since the iskies were much greater after the ninja patch on the other end... but again don't know the actual metrics and dont really care since we were happy shooting people left and right anyway.

Its been a real pleasure fighting with / against you fellas. You gave us a hell of a show.

We'll miss you allot.

I don’t usually post but was following this thread and thought of adding my 2 cents..

I am not speaking on behalf of my alliance but just as an EVE player who’s only been playing Since March 2012.
I think FW is great and it has definitely been fun. The main reason I joined was to PVP and there is definitely a lot of it.
With the recent changes to FW you can’t deny that there is a difference in active GAL and CAL militia numbers (ACTIVE).
The guys that I fly with are not in FW to make ISK so we usually get on and try to get some good fights. Everyone knows where we are based out off and in all honestly it was pretty good till a few weeks ago. Besides our alliance members it seems like
Everyone’s dropped out of Cal mil or has just become in active. One alliance alone can’t flip systems or try to maintain any sort of balance. Maybe this is the reason other alliances also left FW but I can’t be sure. For anyone that says GAL MIL hasn’t grown is on
Drugs. I am also pretty sure that a lot of CAL MIL guys created GAL alts to take advantage of the T4 LP. I have never seen so many active GAL militia members since I have been playing (Only a few months I know). For e.g. yesterday evening I went to every plex in Rakapas, PYNE, Retisato each one has 2-3 gals running it. While before the patch we would wait outside NEN station for hours to get a fight. At some point you realize its just not worth loosing your ship and you dock back up and I think that’s the current state of CAL Mil the ones that stuck around don’t see the benefit of giving Gal’s easy kills. I think this will remain the case until CAL Mil grows again or Gal’s hit T5 and get bored of farming.

BTW think about it why wouldn’t you join the GAL militia if you could make more ISK and get some sort of PVP? Any new player that may be looking at FW will obviously join Gal’s it just makes sense as you need ISK to be able to PVP and lose ships. So this is definitely contributing to active gal members.

Anyways its still fun though I might have to make some ISK if I want to keep loosing ships :) Sorry for the long post

Actually, a quite a lot of people don't play video games to relax, but because they are looking for a challenging and competitive environment. While they are probably having fun whilst playing, it is most certainly not in a low stress manner.

In that respect, stress burnout is quite plausible, especially in games like EVE where the pressure can be on nonstop for hours or days.
