I think people seem to miss the whole FW idea sometimes.

I joined as I got tired of sov warfare, and also didn't particularly enjoy the fact that I was forced to log on to do a CTA. FW is great for logging on – getting some fights – logging off – rinse – repeat.

Unfortunately FW has become a place that people see as an area to grind isk by means of LP farming. Now I’m not even going to go into the whole “Farmers ruin the game for all of us” saga. All I want to say is that we need to remember that the Militia is not an Alliance. Most of the time they are an alt of a HS mission runner or miner who would like to try out PVP. These guys can barely fly a proper stabbed frig… let alone a fleet doctrine that was made by someone who belongs to an alliance where they actually use doctrines.

Doctrines are great for people who can fly them, and when the whole fleet flies them. Otherwise you have a few people in doctrine cruisers/dessies/af’s who are supported by the kitchen sink who are just there to see what it’s like to fly in a fleet.

We can debate who **** is and who is not, but the fact of the matter is:
- The side with the best organisation wins
- The side that wins will get more people who want to fly with them or grind LP on that side as that means the tier side will be higher meaning better lp/isk.

Its simple logic – the kid with the nicest toys will have the most friends.
OR
The guy with the hot wife who hates wearing underwear will have more friends over at his house.

But like I mentioned before… it will change. As soon as the Gallente LP becomes useless due to market flooding the farmers will change sides and put more systems into vulnerability which in turn will be flipped.

Or based on the example:

The kid with the cool toys.. as soon as the toys break the friends will find the new guy with the best toys.
OR
As soon as the hot wife mysteriously falls pregnant – the friends who use to come over will find a new place to hang out.

Right now Calmil is bleeding members. As said before it can be attributed to a number of reasons. Regardless of the reasons – Galmil has the strength in numbers and therefor will have the upper hand in the warzone.

Simples…

Friendship is like pissing yourself… Everyone can see it, but only YOU can feel the true warmth that it brings…

Farmers move based on the Pendulum of FW, haven't seen many PVPers do it.

guys i already debunked the chiefs/indians theory in my original post.

most of the indians on the caldari side are just not good at playing eve. (sad really because eve is so easy)

the caldari could get the best fc with the most exotic european accent in all of eve and they would still lose.

eve isnt some disney pixar movie where the morons win through the power of believing in themselves.

The guy who picks a strong dependable partner as a wife wins. Gallente corps are not easily influenced by shiny toys (massive isk due to easy missions/Navy Ravens) and hot wives (FCs).
