How many strategic objectives has the Lemmings taken? This was all about POCOs right?

Oh wait it was actually about Gevlon being dunked by one Goon. Don't mind me.

And how long can you use the "It's a one week old Alliance"? You are going to have to stand on your own eventually, right?

Goons post everywhere. That's kinda their thing. And no, we know where you got you isk from, from high sec. And you are welcome to spend it however and on whatever you like. But none of that will make anything you do relevant to null players.

I honestly doubt that most of the RvB chaps are happy about this whole thing, given what RvB used to be about. Certainly not about ending up as the POCO-Slaves of the goon empire....

Besides, it would have been so much smarter on RvBs part to simply sit back and do nothing and then take the POCOs for themselves. Blink

The Lemmings can't hold nor want them, their goal is to simply to p*** off the goons ( seems to work nicely - kudos! Big smile ) and drive them out.

At some point it is inevitable that the goons will find themselves at a point where it's just not worthwhile to keep the POCOs, be the reason them tiring of embassing themselves or just the time and ISK wasted. This is just basic guerilla warfare 101. The Goons simply lack the presence in highsec and keeping those POCOs will just be a PITA for them.

RvB on the other hand with their strong highsec presence can hold on to them. In the end they are the true masters of this POCO space and if you ask me they should actually take what is theirs.

Ok, RvB suddenly siding with the lemmings is not gonna happen. They lack the balls for that, goon pets are neatly housebroken - but it would be pretty hilarious if they did.

Anyway good job @ the goblin for starting this. This whole david vs. goliath guerilla movement is just pure fun to read about and I shall join or support you at some point.

So says the largest alliance in the game, that asked RvB to come and save them. Well you got me out of VFK I guess. I'm in Josameto now, and I actually managed to kill local, although that was not my intention.
So just to be clear, what you are essentially saying here is that you don;t know anything about the current politics in the game and while it would be simple for you to verify that RvB in fact entered into a POCO agreement with goons well before your little alliance, you prefer to not bother as that way you can still pretend you are relevant right?

Good show, this thread is marvellously entertaining.


No I know absolutely nothing about politics at all. You got me!


Indeed it never occurred to me to ask about when RvB would be joining the war in my first few hours of joining the alliance. That was quite a surprise when that happened.

Also, I like to pretend I am relevant to other people sometimes, but the simple fact is, that I am merely having fun in a game, where the relevance of my actions matters to nobody but myself.

After all, this game isn't really an MMO right?

Why on earth would you possibly think POCOs that print ISK, and more free targets to shoot, for a PVP outfit wouldn't be something they want?

At some point you ggrrrrrGOONS types need to take a step back from your own clenched teeth and see it from the POV of the other guys; we have a mutually beneficial pact which allows us to share complete control over any POCO we choose to.

I'm sorry that makes you all flip out with rage.

Maybe you should just use them instead of complaining, or do you think Lord Randian of house aspie would give you a lower tax rate than we do? (he won't)

FYI you can ignore my common-sense reasoning and deduction, because clearly you can only post on a forum when you're mad about something.

Which makes the OP, er ...

Damn this is awkward for you guys either way.

May I ask what is so _mutually_ beneficial about this arrangement of yours? Lol

So far it seems rather one sided and the only contribution from the goons is to cry on the forum until RvB came to the rescue.

I mean maybe RvB sees themselves more like a plaything, not a real alliance that can hold the POCO space by its own and requires the allowance of the powers that be to get a share. But from my perspective as a bystander they seem to be the actual power in this conflict.

I quite like this war, its like RvB, but on a bigger scale, and best of all, Gevlon gets to pay for it.

I hope he is funding your SRP :)

The downside is, he gets to blog about how he totally is not like any other high sec wardec group that has ever existed, but, hey, fun over coffee in the morning is why we go there anyway, right?

And can someone give me an answer about the stated win objective of this war, which is the total removal of all Goon, and I guess now, RvBee POCOs.

How many have come down this week?

I know this is not Darwins stated objective, but, it is Gevlons aim, as he does not partake in shooting for fun, cos internet spaceships are super srs business.

I just had a good laugh about an RvB mail send. A nice quote :

Quote:
For example; Lemming03 warps to Jita in his Slave set, he gets podded and loses a 3bil pod. He then must pay 3.01bil to RvB or be removed from the community.


Why do they use the words Lemmings and Jita. Is this maybe, because getting podded by Lemmings in Jita is bad Blinkd

Meanwhile- in nullsec, Goons lose about 5b in ships in less than 45 minutes in a small engagement of no real strategic importance. Guess what? Those losses don't mean anything either.

well you know that with so many goons someday one of them will have the ****** idea of moving a staion egg in a freighter in high sec with a character IN the alliance :P. Someday... :P

EVE has no short supply of idiots, people do stupid things on the regular, and often times those people are unlucky enough to get caught whilst engaging in their intellectually challenged pursuits- trying to say their actions have any detriment on their parent alliance however is just as stupid though.

I'm so glad this thread hasn't died yet, been crazy with work in RL and it's given me something to read that's not legalese or data consuming.

As the Director who oversees the Jita pod thing, I'm going to way in on the email (or portion thereof) that Gevlon was kind enough to post. That rule has been out off and on about lemmings getting podded in Jita since before I started in RvB (1.5 years ago) long before Lemmings was a thing ;) It started it's last iteration prior to Thanksgiving, so as relevant as you'd like to make it referring to lemmings being podded in Jita, it doesn't actually have anything to do with your existance as an alliance. Sorry, you just happened to pick my wording for you name.

Now as to RvB being a pet - we are not a pet, we see this assistance as a way to get good fights. We offered our assistance for that reason. Goons don't require our allegiance, nor do they actually really need our help. As a matter of fact, no where in our POCO agreement are the words, "thou shalt help us" We just like good fights. And as the Director running the SRP for both corps (Red and Blue) I'd say my guys like good fights too, "business is good" :)

I can't imagine many PI players choosing to use Goonswarm POCO planets. If I were inclined to do PI (heaven forbid), first of all I wouldn't be doing it in highsec. But if I were doing it in highsec, I would look for stability. Defense of a reinforced POCO is not enough - at that point, the POCO customers have already been screwed and are likely planning to relocate. POCOs need to stay open for business. The POCOs near Jita may be "premium" locations for displaying the owners' names, but they are poor choices for PI. So while they may be great catalysts for fights, it's hard to see much profit potential.

If I’m not mistaken this Alliance was created to support one person’s personal vendetta through a perpetual war dec of Goonies so it makes it risky for them to enter Empire, not to shoot/take their POCOs etc. unless a few pilots want to so they can see if Goonies will show up or for aggravation sake. To him, his personal war against the goonie is a “win” each week if he looks at the Lem killboard and the rate of return kill wise is more than he paid that week, simple as that. To everyone that gets to put a old alt to good use ganking goonies for free in Empire whenever they want, this opportunity is simply awesome….Cool

The “you’re not winning fast enough” tears from goonies and their pets from this action is very typical of you F1 monkeys tbh….Lol

Gevlon just needs to not complicate the reasoning and execution for creating this opportunity. Keep is simple since goonies look for any opportunity to measure/derail your plan if you’re not pin point focused.

If you have an alt you’re not using that often, the toon has some pvp skills, and you want to log it in on a side screen to camp a trade hub with others to gank some goonies then this opportunity is for you.

Most folks have a toon on one of their accounts that’s not been logged in for months but could now have a side use sitting in cheap ships on the undock chillin while you’re doing other stuff….Blink

This thing could just snowball into a casual and consistent presence in Empire which forces goonies to use alternate means to access trade HUBs etc. and that’s effective. And tbh if the majority of the toons in this Alliance are throw away alts, it doesn’t matter if there not consistently online since it’s basically all about possible volume and pressure. It’s also an opportunity for friends to actually form little fleets and roam empire together looking for goonies which could be a exciting time for folks that typically mission run with tier mains etc.

If I could make one suggestion it would be to set up an out of Alliance public like channel that those pilots main toons would have access to and monitor so if things are heating up at one of the trade HUBs they can be notified, log in their alt, and join in the fight. The channel can be restricted etc. but it’s just so everyone can be notified when goonie presence has started to climb in empire etc.Idea

Maybe EVENews24 can post an article about this opportunity and get the word out more?
