RVB was already dead. Their uncommitted, impotent, self-aggrandizing leadership saw to that. All we did is show up and blow up their stuff. Despite overwhelming manpower their leadership wasn't able to organize and motivate a nearly 8000 man community to defend assets from and win fights against a group of twenty human beings.

If you make a huge, powerful, well funded entity, into something that can't withstand that kind of pressure then it needs to be destroyed.

I'm surprised you are all so pleased RvB went down. Seems to me like high sec simply lost a valuable content creator and a beloved institution that actually catered to newbros. I sure hope BRAVE takes the lot of them in.


I am really of two minds. RvB was fun, I enjoyed it and got to do some PVP in a way that meant I got to learn from more experienced players. So in that, I am sad to see it go. On the other hand it is deeply concerning that in the end it was so fragile that it would implode in this fashion simply because (and I may be wrong but this is what it looks like) someone else decided to shoot at them and was not bad at it.


I have no doubt BAW had a major role in putting on the pressure towards implosion, but from RvB's own posts on their own forums, as well as the ones on reddit (including many from their supporters), it seems plausible their going down was the result of ongoing problems in the general state of EVE currently.

There really doesn't seem to be many places left to steer new bros that I see on the CAS channel. E-Uni and RvB was where we used to send the ones that wanted to learn PvP in a mentoring environment. Cry

Hmm. When you put it like that, I'm inclined to agree. Was not aware they were 8,000 strong, and that your well-known organization is... 20 people. Expected at least 100. Learn something new everyday Roll

Anywho if anyone does profit from their demise, it should be you guys so happy hunting

RVB combined is about 7900 characters. BAW is about 50, we've got inactives and alts in there too, we particularly have a lot of director alts.

I don't know that there are even 100 EVE players suitable to be in BAW.

We are kind of, uh, different.

Other people comment that we talk a lot on comms.

There's nothing unusual about having a casual conversation while you have 40 hostiles on grid with you in my opinion.

Or don't hire us and maybe we'll come and ruin your life.

The best way to avoid us ruining your life is to pay us to ruin the lives someone you don't like.

First person to kill me because I'm incredibly rusty wins brownie points. And maybe a trip in Tysinger's van if I can hotwire it right.

I think Tah'ris is probably our number one hatemail recipient of all time. Everyone gets some sperglord in a mining barge yelling at them from time to time, but people send Tah'ris long, rambling walls of text explaining how bad he is at EVE and how he was obviously bullied in school/abused as a child or whatever.

I don't really understand why either. Regardless, it's good to have him back. Finally Shadow will have someone to take over as master of mispronunciation.

I was speaking in terms of our alliance members. There's just something about Tahris that attracts an unusual level of hatred. He doesn't even do anything out of the ordinary. People just despise him for no reason.

Oh.

Ok then.

Upon reflection, I believe I despise him as well.

I have no idea why, he seems like a lovable person.

I love you tah'ris klador. Why would anyone hate him? He's the only one of you who isn't completely sociopathic and deranged. Well, not as much anyhow.

Merry Christmas, Take-A-Leak alliance.

Holeysheet called us deranged sociopaths.

That's a pretty incredible endorsement.
