I took part in a battle that involved 1600 players, over 100 billion isk destroyed from both sides.
Capital ships, supercarriers and titans were fielded.
Outnumbered 1000 to 600 and coming out on top, destroying ship after ship.


Good for you!

I'm not going to complain, the more billions of isk worth of assets you lot throw at each other the added billions I can make on the market when you come to replace what you've lost.

War is excellent for business, we just all profit in different ways.

I posted with an alt because if i posted with my main then this would turn into a CFC vs SoCo flame thread.

I just wanted to let everyone know it was awesome and im sure both sides will agree with me

If thats what you do for a living thats cool. I spend a half an hour doing that every day and i make a few billion a week too so i can spend it all on ships to get blown up!

I think people forget thats the point of making isk. :)

Well I suppose the Alliance tournament will show how good the blobbers are at small gang.


Calls out large coalition pvpers saying they are bad and would lose to him, gets called out and challenged, backs down and says hurf blurf at X

That would be a strange thing for me to say as I am not primarily a PvPer. what I actually said was that blob pvp involves luck and the FC to stay alive and has very little to do with the skill of the individual unlike small gang. And the Alliance tournament is a good example of blobbers vs small gang.

So let's pretend you are right and your TiDilated blob warfare is very exciting and my hi-sec life is pointless, boring, miserable and non-profitable.


Looks like you shot yourself in the foot there.

Now that we know Lipbite is in Hisec that's a pretty strong incentive to pack up and go up to Hi ourselves.

Sounds boring.

I wonder if at any stage you paused to lament the pointlessness of your actions or your insignificance in the proceedings.

That's an outrageous comment he was personally responsible for an average isk destroyed (from both sides) of around 62m isk!

How did I spend yesterday and possibly might spend today involving Eve...?

No idea - whatever whim I feel like it.

Since yesterday was my country's Independence Day, I did continue the tradition of watching the local town's fireworks display as I have been doing the past thirty plus years. Add a bit of drinking and all in good fun.

I am not attempting to think of work even though today I am off due to the two day union holiday and getting paid in full for both days. Translate into Eve terms and these two days are easily paying for this account the next two plus years in cold, hard cash.

I might catch up on the preliminary rounds from the Alliance Tournament since I missed them.

I might ...

That is a good thing about Eve - there is no correct way of playing the game; though many players do try to tell you otherwise.

Because I fully well admit there are people better at small gang pvp than me?

If you believe you are that good why don't you conquer Null sec by your self, your ego is definitely big enough.

Edit: I was going to complement you on the 900 kills till I realized they are mostly blob kills, so meaningless other than you were not primaried often. Before you say anything a kill mail with 180 people on it really isn't worth much.

Oh yes, holy warrior, you are real and we care bears are not. Confirming that this is just fine with me. Glad you had the adrenaline rush and all, but in typical Eve fashion, your happiness aroused the need in you to bash someone else's way of playing. You are the FIRST person ever to feel this might rush of power, of course. No care bear has ever been in such a fleet.

Actually there's no adrenaline rush when you fight in large fleets, it's all dependant of how good your FC is and how prompt to shoot the same target masses are, add logistics doing always an awesome job (even when you die, they have limits) some reccons dampenind/ecm/disrupt/Scrambling, hero dictors/hictos, hero ceptors and that's it.
You aling to where you're said to, warp fleet, shoot A shoot B etc.

It's very fun but by no means it's a great adre rush unless it's your first time, small gangs, solo pvp, Uboat ganking, now that's a hell of adrenaline rush each time you don't get blow at the first gate on a 10 vs1

Yes, a silly rule about not being able to declare war against individuals. It would cut out the whole corp hopping aspect. Of course, it would open up another slew of complaints about individuals not logging into the game enough to become targets or how the targetted player(s) are getting griefed, etc., etc.

Perhaps I should amend my comment about there being no correct way of playing this game since every aspect of this game does have someone somewhere bitching, complaining, or whining about something involved with it.

Of course, I do live with the paradox that I play a multiple player game mostly as a solo player.
