You make the mistake of assuming that this war is "the thing" for goons when the average members Eve career looks more like this with varying percentages depending on the interests and prowesses of the member.

Even if a person thought blueballing was the most boring thing ever. The rewards for maintaining our space empire far outweighs other activities that the average Eve player has to deal with like mission running or high sec mining for isk.

As for the opponents fun I could not care less. I lay my enemies fun on the altar for my own amusement and then carve its chest open with my own fingernails to feast on the blood. I am only responsible for the enjoyment of myself and my comrades.

And honestly invading the CFC is not supposed to be fun. If it was fun then people would do it all the time and we (The coalition) would barely have any time to do other things (see pie chart)

The very sun of heaven seemed distorted when viewed through the polarising miasma welling out from this sea-soaked perversion, and twisted menace and suspense lurked leeringly in those crazily elusive angles of carven rock where a second glance shewed concavity after the first shewed convexity.

I get that + from a "achieving the objecting" perspective blueballing it's probably one of the most effective tactics. Still, I don't think that this epic non-fighting is what attracts new players to the game, since theoretically nothing of notice actually happens. And who subs up for something as intangible as nullsec drama?

Having a stable empire certainly attracts people that are already in the game because, you know, SRP, AFKtaring and Ganking are great.

But those two things are entirely different, so you shouldn't confuse one with the other :>

EDIT: 40% Roaming vs 15% AFKtaring? Whoever's made that graphic is seriously detached from reality m8

It allows us to maintain the sort of mega coalitions that that make events like Asakai and B-R possible.

I made that chart in about 60 seconds. A humble Goon with no unusually large aspirations can spend his entire Eve career just doing pvp without having to rat, perform PI or any other isk making activities.

The last time I killed an NPC was so long ago that my security status history is literally empty.

Tidi is a part of the kind of warfare we make and our pilots are here of their own free will. The rest of Eve can enjoy the wide publicity and new players without even having to take part in the fight.

I was in B-R from the ping that called for a "quick potato fleet after downtime" until the downtime the following day and I would not have missed that fight for anything in Eve.

It just comes as a very hamfisted move and a bit silly. You essentially shot yourself in the foot and burned off lot of good PR. Which is a damn shame cause you usually came across like a level headed and competent guy.

You'll have to pull off some seriously amazing good work (more than already, which is a shame again) to mend some fences.


The csm are fundamentally a focus group. The mans experience with wormholes and his connections are why he was/is valuable if you can't see that then there is no helping you.

The only ones who accomplished anything are the 6ish ppl pulling the strings. Everyone else is riding their coat tails.

Stop drinking the cool aid and believing your own propaganda.

You contribution was hitting F1 and then waiting to log-off 8 hours later wondering if you died and when it happened.

I don't need any approval from anyone for writing or saying anything.

Think about it. That is probably exactly what the big null sec blocks would love to see. Less people voting in total means it's easier for them to get their block candidates elected.

I know that for that reason alone I will vote again next year as in essence not voting is voting for the null blocks.

Here I used to have a sig of our old Camper in space. Now it is disregarded as being the wrong format. Looking out the window I see one thing: Nothing wrong with the format of our Camper! Silly CCP......
