Just heard the news, seems like Black Rise will be hotting up again soon....

Will they derp like previous null sec blobs? Will the CFC deploy to the region to have a pop? will anyone else?

Whatever happens....This is going to fun....Pirate

Potentially.

One of two things will happen:

1. TEST, like most nullsec alliances that come down, will fragment and tear apart and will hemorrhage members into FW/highsec carebearing/other parts of the game. And a small core will still exist but it will be a shell of its former self. See: Just about every alliance to ever join Caldari over the past year from null and then leave shortly after.

2. Read above, except the difference is they will decide FW is too "stupid" for them because it's more complicated than warp-ins and cynos and F1 and will leave and return to nullsec.

I am betting on #1 just so Goons have a reason to come to Black Rise and we can see a true escalation of action Big smile

Unless they deploy to Kinakka, in which case you'll all disappear from the face of the earth again until they leave.

FW is not made for alliances of that size and it won't end well for TEST.

They'll do what most null sec blocs do when entering FW, they'll arrive all boisterous and strut around like we are all "scrubs" in frigates and destroyers. Then they'll try light a cyno on a gate, then try to warp to a fleet member on gate, then get generally ripped apart at almost every turn by a "scrub".

Then complain bitterly when their huge blob is blue balled.

That's usually what occurs.

Looking forward to it. Loads more targets from an alliance that actually likes to fight.

That's the difference with TEST though they will give fights!!

It might increase the opportunity for solo cruisers v cruiser engagements too!

Unlike other nullsec groups who have come through FW, TEST is very new-player oriented and more than happy to give and seek out fights. They aren't the best at EVE BUT, they acknoledge this and don't take themselves too seriously. Despite the fact that they intend to move on, I think they are a good fit for FW.

So, Ive been gone. This usually happens after a null group gets curb stomped by someone. Can someone give me the story behind them having to 'go slumming' with us low life's?

Got curb stomped in fountain war, lost fountain

Abandoned all the rest of their sov to go to some backwater low sec area with literally no reason to be there

Realized that was stupid and went to Curse

Have been getting curb stomped in Curse or camped into station

Drags their shambling corpse into Caldari FW

It's been a really bad few months for them it would appear.

They've run out of money. They are temporarily joining FW to push Caldari to T4/5 and make their iskies. This will be fun. The local squids are having getting a bit soft and pudgy.

Slumming? Haven't you heard? Cal/Gal FW is small gang heaven. After the Fountain war, I'd want a break from nullsec blobmonkey boredom too.

It'll be really really interesting to see how they adapt to FW plexes, and I'm sure that iHUB bashes are gonna be a lot more exciting in the near future.

This, if there was able to have a dedcated Ihub bash group, FW would be different and I think more people would like it.

Busting an IHub in FW is like beating your head against the wall.

At least TEST already said they'll won't be staying for in low-sec forever. We just have to see how soon they'll leave. And how soon they'll have to use their built-in excuse.


Still. You never know. They might have their **** together.

I couldn't agree more. In fact, they're aleady chestbeating and strutting over how terrible they are.

This is from Reddit.

Minmatar Militia Person: "Congrats to TEST on joining the worst militia."
TESTie #1: "Did you honestly expect anything different?"
TESTie #2: "We'll be taking the situation from bad to worse then. God help them."

Honestly, I have my doubts on TEST's bold claims and am calling that this is going to be a close and shut case. Calmil "scrubs" have way too much experience with being disorganized and ripping themselves apart. Despite TEST's recent history, they still have nullsec level internal 'organization', something that doesn't really exist in FW outside of Fweddit.

Also, speaking of fweddit...if you thought their local spam was bad...ooh boy. You guys are in for a treat.
