Wormholes

mmm... forum ate my post.

So how are you gonna make sure the fights stay fair? Give out free intel to your enemies? Tell 10 of your corp / alliance members to pos up while 20 of you have a brawl with some 'frienemies'?

eve and fair don't go together. Plus my view on evictions is that when you're enemy's backs are against a wall, they become more dangerous, but that's not always the case.

Guys, just stop. This pointing fingers is just going in circles. This is just getting embarrising for the Wh community.

The reason why eve is so great is because it is a sandbox. That means you can do what you want to do. That means if you want to team up with other corporations and kick another corporation in the butt then good! If you don't like it, then good aswell!

Wormhole coalitions and blue lists are here to stay.


After Bitten attempted a eviction of Artic Light not long ago we got to know these coalition matters first hand. We came in alone with no blues and no batphones but yet we were facing a massive coalition on the second day already. We wanted no part of that so we just decided to jump out and leave the system. Simple!

After we came back to Mira (our home wormhole) we had good discussion about how wormhole space is becoming and where these blue lists/coalitions where heading and if there were any way to turn this evolution around.

Our conclusion was that we would have more chance of getting into Jessica Alba's pants then having any effect on wh coalition and blue lists.

Point being, if people are complaining about these coalitions/blue lists then just put some ambition in building your corp to take things on your own and dont take part in the coalitions. If not then that is just equally fine as this is a sandbox.

But they don't have that mass limit right now. You can ask for that and it might actually happen, cause as far as i'm aware wormholes are pretty much the same as when they were released, and i do think a change is in order, because the situation has changed since then. But that's not the case right now and the OP asks about what you can do NOW.

And yeah the decision to blob is a personal one, one that is allowed for anyone to make. As you can decide to self destruct ships inside a pos shield.

I don't have to respect an 'honour' code if I didn't take it up myself. As Tuna said, this is a sandbox, and you can't tell me how to play this game.

How did you miss that sarcasm? Every wormhole has a mass limit.

so when you share a static or roll into another entity, you have a limited composition, even with a c5/c6 hole. This is where you make the decision between having a fight up to 45/45 per side, or seed in multiple roles to double or triple the number.

That's the decision one makes, and the reflection on what they want. You want a blobfest? spend days seeding.

Need mass for return trip (who wants to spend the next 3 hours rolling out from the static they just closed themselves into?), and potential for escalation.

Also, account for possible enemy movement through the hole.

this is why escalation happens (and Bob yes I love when it does).

You have 10 guardians? Let's throw an Archon in. Oh they brought a dread? Bring a Bhaal. Suddenly those 200 cruisers aren't possible.


c'mon now we're not min/maxing. Most of us will escalate with a capital when it's a good fight.

As this is a friendly reminder to keep the pyramid posting and rants to a minimum. Might I suggest that if you are posting on a thread for the plus one-hundred post, you take a moment to read the original post as this might help focus the topic back on to the original post. This goes a long way to keep things on track.

On On

As in the immortal words of Rodney King!
Cant we all just get along?

DJ was just the latest that ticked them off and you will never change the blues, Hell they are all blue even if they say they are not.
So live with it or move.

LOL

Oh by the way, I suck at diplomacy!

I have a question for everyone:

Should the major wormhole alliances sign some sort of non intervention pact to help govern invasions/evictions?

Effectively this would mean if one alliance invaded another wormhole, the defenders would be "breaking the rules" if they batphone for help.

And what if someone unintentionally rolled into the system? Would you then expect them not to get involved?

When I was in 2nd grade, I got into an argument with another boy. It was interrupted with the end of recess. Later on that day he came to me with a few of his friends with a cute handwritten "contract" to fight at the neighborhood playground the following day (it was a Friday).

I asked him to hold it while I signed, and when he turned to put the paper against the wall I grabbed the back of his head and slammed it into the aforementioned wall. He fell and I started kicking him in the stomach until his friends pulled me off.


tl;dr: No.
