Taking a betting pool. Send me 100m ISK, winner (closest guess) takes it all.

I bet 2.76 trillion between ISK and supercapitals and other assets.

You think that is enough for them to failcascade? Why? They stil hae a mssive rental empire and anyoen LEAVING them woudl be stupid.

They are weakened and badly hurt but no reason to failcascade.

i am pretty sure PL have 1000's of spare dreads and carriers and i have heard rumours they have dozens of spare titans and supers (with sitter chars made specially for them)
i wouldn't be surprised to hear that all the PL pilots already have a new titan.
It isn't as if they didn't know that a day like this would come. They have had years to get ready for days like this and they are not exactly poor.

Money at its root is a form of rationing. When the richest 85 people have as much wealth as the poorest 3.5 billion (50% of humanity) it is clear where the source of poverty is. http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/jan/20/trickle-down-economics-broken-promise-richest-85

Sabriz has no idea whether they'll failscade or not. The point of the thread is to send Sabriz 100m.

This sort of thing works better when you just offer to double their ISK. ^^

I'd be a bit surprised if they had more thana score of spare titans. And they need three score to replace losses. But other than that, yeah. Only way PL falls from this is if they somehow suffere a crisis of confidence. And, considering what a brutal fight B-R5 was, I think they can hold their heads up. Yeah, they got shafted, but it was someone else's shaft as did them, so no 'own goal' to create internal strife.

OTOH, I could see some consequences for Nulli...

PL will not failcascade. Also, you have to be spacerich to be in PL anyway, so I would assume most members capable of personally replacing whatever was lost if they had to. Its just a question of finding built capitals now.

Trillions of isk in ships voluntarily jumped into B-R to fight and prove that we go balls deep every time. If that isn't a sign of commitment and willingness to play Eve then I don't know what is.

Consequently I don't see how failing fits into any equation with PL. I thought when you got space rich you could live a little :)

"live a little", die A LOT!

Props for going in hard, though.

I couldn't be any prouder to be in PL right now if I tried. I was on the op from the very beginning in oasa, came home to station fight, stayed up for 24 hours, several titan mails and nothing but a consolidated effort to throw all we had in and fight.

Say what you will about PL, but when it comes to balls deep all in brawling outnumbered and outgunned, there is no better alliance than PL to be fighting with.

Leadership were all upbeat and drama free from start to finish and when titans were going down, there was no screaming, crying or heart attacks, just one dude who vomitted (lol his first titan loss)

There will be no failcascade, no retreating to lick wounds, that is not how PL works.

The reason they are who they are is the solid leadership, the srp program and the willingness of members to put it all out there for what they believe in.

I would be more worried about how goons and the ruskies are going to replace their supers and titans if I were you lot Blink

I believe Mittens set a new record for most orgasms while playing Eve Online.

See Bio for isk doubling rules. If you didn't read bio, chances are you funded those who did.

The point of it was a laugh.

If anyone sends me ISK, that's a small bonus. If it's only a small amount, then I'll honor the betting pool.

haha you're welcome

I'm willing to contribute to the betting pool if we agree by what measurements we use. Obviously killboards are of little help since supers do not get valued anywhere near where they should be. Do we use alliance leaders' numbers?

I hear there are some funny links of soundclouds of this battle online.

Only considering thefts Ero.

Directors dipping their fingers in any supercap replacement funds, members absconding with titans they don't own, or selling POS passwords to people that will steal supercaps from inside them, etc.

PL doesn't fail, they have a lot of fun and sometimes let you win a battle to not have you unsub.

In the end PL always wins Blink

Didn't Grath say you guys were withdrawing from the South to recover? I thought that was synonymous with "licking wounds". Either way, I respect PL's going in hard and dry. Glad you guys didn't shy away from that important fight.
