At BM, you're winning because we aren't fighting...?

You have to understand that basically anything BM ever says is either him intentionally and knowingly saying things that aren't true (i.e. trolling), him saying things that he genuinely believes to be true depsite all evidence to the contrary (i.e. not trolling, but functionally equivalent to it) or him saying things that are technically true, but only from a perspective so ludicrously and self-evidently skewed it's nearly indistinguishable from falsehood (i.e. trolling).

I was in FW back at the very start, and even back then he was saying ludicrous things like "you can't make a profit from planetary interaction," and "NPC ewar is balanced."

Could you make the videos work on mobile? Or is that random YouTube stupidness ?

Almost certainly YouTube failure.

Sweet! Hope this is half as much fun as when Nulli joined. A 750 man alliance, assuming they are interested in sov warfare, could really turn the tide for the Caldari and open up a ton of pew pew.

EDIT: Logged into game, don't see ev0ke in caldari fw :( Is it a different spelling?

After watching those videos, that was a truly epic fight.

As the sole EWAR for the fleet, I didn't expect to last long but our logi kept me up through several primaries and a drone swarm. Took >184 K damage on an armor ****fit blackbird before I was finally popped.

Great fight! Look forward to more.

Jesus plays for Gal Mil as well and if they are losing fleet fights he smites Caldari pilots with fire and brimstone.
Once Japensese players were making a push into Gal Mil territory so Jesus sent tsunamis and earthquakes to stop them.


CCP also does downtime patches that offlines Caldari Militias ships passive mods so their tanks and damage is horrible.
CCP gave GalMil ships XM radio and free HBO so they have something to do while they sit on the titan.

Chuck Norris and Mr. T fly for GalMil. Both have personal doomsday weapons that they can put on any ship, the Roundhouse kick and Pity the fool. Mr. T only flies ships that are shaped like T's, so usually the Thorax.

Thats total BS gallenta get free HBO!!

There is no need to pray saviour. FW is about isk, and best way to make isk is to let gallente make tier 5 and then farm missions for gallente.

You are doing all the hard work for caldari to make easy isk, keep going you are too slow.

CCP decided that Gallente will be the isk farm side so there is no point to fight against CCP will.

You seem perfectly happy with the current situation, I detect no undertones of rage or resentment.

Speaking only for myself here, I'm of the opinion that this attitude and behaviour is a large part of the problem. The volume of self confessed 'Caldari' plexing for the Gal-Mil is quite frankly, disgusting, short sighted and self defeating.

No thank you for bringing a fight! that was fun as hell! Thanks for posting it from your side, I was trying to figure out why your invincible reps just suddenly stopped working, logi cams are always interesting to watch, anyone form your side have combat cams?

As said before , problem is current mechanic that does not generate any reason to fight for systems, current system boosts so much winning side that there is no reason to **** up it by attacking on opposing side. Also Farming on losing side is only profitable with alt farming army so there is not much interest to do it because better to farm on winning side with less alts and make more profits.

PVP in current FW is mostly killing farmers or fighting against blob on certain systems, personally i do not see any interest to do either one, farmer just try to run and blob uses tactics that needs certain amount players to counter so it goes automatically to bigger fleets which are not supported by current mechanic that splits plexing rewards making it unprofitable on any way.

Only reason to fight for Caldari is roleplay reason and that is something that CCP tried to fix because it did not work before but they managed to make system where other side fight for big isk and other side for roleplay reason.

Current system is worst FW ever by mechanical side. CCP sadly stopped developing FW anymore because they think it is ready, so better to look for something else to do if you do not farm isk.

I thought the reward for PVP, was PVP'ing. Gaaaaasp I know right. Finding away to play that's fun for you. I live in Hawaii and play near or after DT. This means I a constantly outnumbered by wt's and finding a solo or near odds fight is dang hard. So what did I do? I spent a week fixing my sec status and then the rest of the month ganking Icho and flying all the way up to Jita in BC. I had tons of fun that month running the pipe and having multiple WT's in system trying to hunt me down while dodging the navy. There was a point were Kracken wouldn't undock when I was in system unless they had 2 arty fit BS's to counter me when I landed.
