Warfare & Tactics

= / ok there sport...

All weekend in Ladister?

The real question is this - if the Gallente militia is truly codependent, where is the galmil erotica?

I have a chatgris pic.

OHHH YEEES , hes sooooo cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuute

So many words, when things are simple.

FW is still a broken mechanic and as such makes some things constant, ergo:

- Squids will reach tier 3/4, with test tier 5 is not unlikely. Its the way pendulum swings atm and its the natural course of things with current mechanics. Funny thing is - Test will take credit for this success even tho they will have nothing or very little to do with it in reality.

- Test will go through pretty much the same process all the other nullsec entities joining fw did - further bleeding of members, red killboards. Once they realize how bad they are at solo/small gang, they will do the only thing they know - blob all the time and bore us to death with their idiotic local spam. Some of their members will become really good soloers/small gang fighters and will leave for greener pastures. I doubt Test will brake up due to losses since as all the non dreddit corps that really care about 'success' (however you define it) are likely already out of test anyway.

- Consequently your average test member won't earn as much as he was promised initially nor will he learn about small scale pvp as much as he could if he was to join 'normal' fw corps, hence test won't fully succeed on any of their stated goals. Naturally, they will never admit this.

- They will make at least one headline on TMC with a corp theft of fw stuff and/or hauler derp/gank.

- Pendulum will continue to swing until CCP decides to take another look at fw, so for quite a while.

Thanks for the laugh. Let's analyze your post.

Caldari was stuck on T1 for a while, TEST joins, calmil gains 10% in a week. Totally unrelated though, that's just "the pendulum".

Mate, our killboard is always red. And we know that we're bad at small gang stuff. We have blobbed since our beginnings. We're not bleeding, we are in fact in the process of welcoming a certain calmil corps to DAWWW, our recruitment alliance. Seriously, you don't know anything about TEST.

We didn't promise anything. Our members know how much they can make, but it's up to them to do plexes and farm LP.

We make headlines on TMC about once a week, seems like you're not paying attention.

The pendulum again. What are you even talking about? Space magic?

To summarize, apart from hearing the "TEST is bad wololo" over and over again you actually don't know anything about us and our culture. Stop trying to compare us to your standard tryhard elite peeveepee corps, we are more like an autistic zombie hobo crashing other people's parties. Bad at this game, completely okay with welping and in for the fun.

ZheoTheThird -

Maintaining control of systems you've captured requires people to actively patrol them and/or live in them. As I said before, you took systems that no GalMIl corp lived in, and that we haven't been actively patroling due to the OMS / Heyd / Lad campaign that just finished up.

You'll notice that you haven't made appreciable progress in Eha, Vlillirier, Nennamalia, Hallanen, or Nisuwa. The reason is that GalMil corps actually live in those systems and roam the area regularly. You'll also notice that those areas are where you're getting the most fights and losing the most ships.

In short, the bump in FW warzone control has primarily been due to a lack of farmers on the GalMil side of the house, which is a neverending problem for us with the current mechanics. You have yet to make a dent in areas actively inhabited by GalMil corporations. Once you hit about 60-70 systems controlled, things will start to get very very interesting.

w0w, such serious, much severe conversation.

Lets get back to discussing how localchat and :kbstats: are the indicators of faction warfare effectiveness pls

Okay, let me clarify, I feel like my peasantly way of speaking isn't quite easy enough to understand for the kings of pvp.

You didn't say anything of relevance. You stated that TEST is bad, that the sudden calmil success is due to FW mechanics and completely unrelated to TEST and that we're totally not going to stand a chance and inevitably die. I've heard that in variations from pretty much everyone we've ever fought.

You see, we don't work that way. We're learning, adapting, testing the waters. We are going to grind out systems, stage in Nenna, take your doctrines and use them against you with fleets three times the size of yours. Feel free to pour yourself a glass of the finest whisky, sit down in your armchair and laugh about the filthy testie-peasants with their ASCII and ****** memes, we don't care, it's a game, and we're going to beat you.

Also, our KB is totally an accurate representation of our success at taking over systems
