EVE General Discussion

I said it in the comments on Clarion Call 4 and ill say it again here:

The preeminence of Rooks and Kings PVP in New Eden is unchallenged ! If ever there is a group of people in ANY game so worthy and deserving of the title " The Elite ", surely that title would belong to every single member of Rooks and Kings. You capsuleers are what make me play Eve, and though only recently discovering the universe of New Eden, what make me damn sure I devote all my time in Eve to eventually join your prestigeous ranks .Your movies inspire greatness as your tactics inspire apperception! For my Eve ambition is to achieve the honor that is Rooks and Kings!

butt hurts huh?.....makes me cry for you.

Every fight?

I seem to remember watching a video that CCP posted that would lead me to believe otherwise.

And on a personal note, i dont care if they lose every war they ever get into for the rest of history, i just like watching them pipe bomb much larger groups into oblivion in like 3 seconds, hilarious !

I get the feeling "someone" didn't get into RnK and is a little salty bout it

:)

'Tis a strange web we weave.





Thank you for the kind gift. I'll make sure it goes to causing some havoc on some front or other and let you know the results.





Clarion Call 4 used a tiny fraction of my pipebombing material; I have a death archive to rival Jeffrey Dahmer's fridge in its best days. The same goes for other doctrines and battles. I could probably keep making Eve videos for the next decade just from what has already happened. However, I do hope to continue playing and have fresh adventures.

That sense of place and time, and the influence that one set of events has on another, is what makes Eve unique and gives value to what has 'happened'.






I appreciate the thought - although in the end I don't think Eve can ever be 'won' on the battlefield. People often joke that you 'win' Eve by quitting the game. Whilst I see their point, I feel ultimately it's the opposite: you win if you find a group of people you couldn't have found otherwise.

One day Eve might be seen as a precursor for all manner of intriguing virtual worlds and lives. But history might also go a different way, and Eve might be remembered as a strange anarchic moment in the underbelly of the internet. Not knowing which way the story goes is a big reason to take something from the moment.

When people now talk of key concerts in 1969, or their wildest moments of the 70s, there is a sense that they knew they were part of something that would be remembered later, a turning point of sorts. Those of them that 'won' were the ones who took some of that momentum with them and met key friends along the way.

There are all kinds of communities that have sprung up via Eve. What better way to win than to exasperate someone, one day, by explaining that you 'met in Space'?

It must be annoying to have an archive of decent material that is now, due to all the changes, obsolete.

Whilst I imagine there is an urge to upload all the things!, there must also be a necessity to keep releases current and relevant, right?

Otherwise you'd have to prefix videos with "you can't actually do this anymore, but..."

If your going to critisize the dudes work atleast link us your own creation for comparison.

Brick Squad? Weren't they founded after Foundati0n disbanded? There was certainly no war between Foundati0n and Brick Squad.

Foundati0n's major enemies were Veritas Immortalis & allies, and later Red Alliance & co. Brick Squad was not even a casual enemy in Great Wildlands, like IAC or TCF.

As for what you say about moons, Foundati0n had no moon income to speak of - the valuable moons like Y7 were all in the hands of locals (in that case Meissa Anunthiel, who would later become Eve's longest serving CSM). Remember, FDN was NRDS and we had policy of giving our good moons to local neutrals and befriending them, etc. FDN's moon battles had actually gone rather well in the months leading up to its end - so well in fact, that GW on the whole had become rather quiet. No doubt that towers were, as ever, won and lost - but GW's moons were safely in FDN's hands, which is why the subsequent NRDS and NBSI factions battled over them in the spring of 2009, after FDN had ended.

Now, as to Rooks and Kings, we fought Brick Squad a few times.We helped Monkey Circus defend moons against them. This particular engagement is the 'Battle of the Gunnies': http://www.rooksandkings.org/killboard/?a=kill_related&kll_id=29036

Upon landing, both sides primed a 'Gunny'. They shot our GunnerySergeant Blair in his Machariel, and we went for their gunnery in his Abaddon. It was an endearingly direct affair and after some target switching back and forth, their Gunny eventually succumbed. With their champion down, it was mostly a matter of mopping up.

The engagement is also notable for having our first visitor from Eve China in fleet, Arnid Blackstone, although sadly there was confusion over broadcasting and he became one of our few casualties of the fight.

Later we also fought them successfully a few times in Vestouve. Certainly nothing I'd call a 'war', although we got a few capital kills out of it. For the record, I've always found Brick Squad to be perfect gentleman and good chaps.

Oh look, here is the the member of "elite" pvp alliance. So elite and scared to allow red color on a KB so the cannon meatballs were presented under the cover of newbro friendly programm. PL pilots don't want to bother flying ****** t1 crap and stuff other than capitals all kind and picking fights as a 3rd party knowing the obvoius end of such engagements.

The "Brave" case was more like a showcase for everyone else except Brave itself.

PL is one of the dominant powerbloc but .... [here you put all the thoughts you have about PL but never make them available for public attention].

Oh look.

Doom crying on Reddit over WH spawn changes and you crying here over some butthurt that isn't quite clear.

Are we seeing a new trend now? PL crying because there are no more baby seals to club or something?
