Goons going to some lengths to win the "popular vote" here by retreating to the "don't hit us, we're only little" doctrine of damage controlling the numbers they are up against.

Carry on fighting though.

Means you have less time to post about nerfing things you can not control through moronically huge corp/alliance/blues numbers

Yah I said it. Not seeing a problem myself. Very limited by the theoretical max dimensions of the box aren't you.

Two questions.

1. Is english your primary language?
2. Do you honestly think the average player gives a crap about this overly wordy fantasy history you posted?

It is.

Less so because our secret agents at CCP instigated them to add missile effects, so we can be entertained by the cool-ness of our torpedos in space.

I was certain I wouldn't be able to sleep tonight what with it being so hot and humid here in the UK at the moment, but now I know I'll be able to drop off like a baby simply by re-reading the OP.

PL works on a very different way of all other alliances, thinking they became a paper tiger because of a "thing" (zdat Revenant fight) is a silly assumption to make

The point being they were there for something that no one could expect escalation at that point a bit like zdat DBRB Titan jump finishing with half Eve fighting in the system, but actually happened, at some point it's better to step back and stop losses then bring more assets to the fight just to play little boys game and see who has the bigger gun.

Yes this fight could end differently but in the end what you need to think is -is that really worth at bottom line to have a nice battle report when active assets are far better of use than km's ?

Not sure this was the point of PL's leaders at that point but imho is a good not bad assumption. I'm quite sure PL has very strong teeth still but like to play on their terms, which is wise and by no means shows they're weaker now then they were before.

Boat has not led a siege fleet, as far as I can tell.

If I am not mistaken, our most prolific structure shooter now is Lyris Nairn, Chronicles of Narnia, Sky Captain of ~our heart~ etc etc

Highsec has the power to do this.

If every highsec "bear" rolled an alt and trained to high end frigs, destroyers, or bombers, and just went to goon space and started shooting stuff, this would be over.

And, as many would say, well deserved.

Jita will in fact be sending regards for this "emergent" play.

But I'm biased. Were it up to me, nullsec would be a playground of anarchy and the mere sighting of a super would bring hordes of "pubbies" trying to get in on a kill, like the last elephant being assailed by a swarm of ants.

1. Yes. However, I wrote this in around 20 minutes and I know for a fact I changed tense at least 8 times. Also I'm bad at writing.
2. There are people who care about nullsec wars and politics who aren't directly involved in them, I know, I used to be one of them. Whether or not that's the "average player" doesn't concern me.

goons need to be attackt in their main space in addition, VFK is the target, people should bring SBUs lets end this once and for all, you are unable to hold two fronts, with all of highsec going to VFK and the rest punshing down on you in the fountain area this will be a glorious end!

mark it in your calendar!

I think the recent supercap whelp has means that much of the aura of fear that surrounded PL has gone. Just as much as their lacklustre effort in Fountain. Is this because they are afraid of losing a fleet or two, and the resultant damage to their image?

Sure they are great when it comes to hotdropping ratters in Providence, but's that's hardly leet PvP.
