Metagaming the metagame always seemed pretty damned skillful to me.

Haha unironic space bushido


Has little to do with 'space bushido' and more to do with playing a video game for fun and not to win by any means necessary. How many big space battles are not going to happen now because of this? Lots. You sacrificed fun pew pew for isk and so you can say you win? You can't pay your mother rent for your basement room with isk, there's no need to accumulate that much.

It would be like playing chess with someone, and when they realize you are probably going to beat them they grab the chess board and fling it and all the pieces up into the air. "Hey I didn't lose that game of chess you did."



Almost sounds like you wouldn't believe some people find it enjoyable to club baby seals!

I have no idea why people unrelated to this are so butthurt. Personally this is why I'm in GoonWaffe and have so much respect for our dear leader.

This game is not like chess. I'm having lots of fun, it's been 45 minutes since I heard this happened and I'm still laughing.

Espionage is a part of this game, if you can't handle that I encourage you to pursue activities in games where it isn't allowed.



This. Espionage is the biggest part of this game. Period.

Of course who'd want to have fun fights when you can win, amirite?

For the record I feel I should say I have no dog in this fight I just think you guys are lame.


What's fun about getting 250 capital ships dumped on you?

This was never about fun it was about taking assets that will allow us to pay for our fun in the future. Welcome to war.

It's weird how people who aren't participating in nullsec have these weird conceptions about the "fun" of fighting sov wars. It's like they've never been there and are clueless or something.


I have found that most people who rail against this kind of stuff that actually do have null experience fall into one of two categories.

1: The victims of it. Of course, they aren't going to like it.
2: People who's nullsec experience consists of random roams from either NPC null, or their low/highsec staging system every once in a while. These guys are especially obnoxious, because since they went ten or fifteen jumps into Syndicate a few times, they think they know exactly what sov warfare is all about, and how it should be played.



Hey there's nothing wrong with npc null in Syndicate! It's actually quite fun.

Better than lowsec anyways =(.

Information?


207 systems have been lost and at least 33 stations (most likely 43) are in lockdown with no access until someone takes over the system in Nulli Secunda's renter block. 400 billion in renter fees have been taken and the executor corporation taken over. All other corps in S2N Citizens' alliance have been kicked and due to wardecs cannot do anything for a week. The former director in S2N Holdings who did all this has joined Circle-of-Two (A CFC alliance).

At a stoke one of TESTs biggest allies has been effectively brought to its knees and must pull out of Fountain to fight to regain all of its lost space before angry Russians take it for themselves.

I find lowsec to be a much more target rich environment. The targets may not be as big, but there's a lot more of them, and I can always fly a smaller ship. ;)

Plus, I'm sure it is fun, since you get the fun of null without all of the bullshit that comes with sov, hence my comment. People who have never dealt with the gutterfuck that is sov warfare have no business commenting on it.

At least that should learn some to take care of their business first instead of chestbeating for business they have nothing to do with.

Which leaves 95% of the people out of "biggest part" of the game?

Makes perfect sense to me....Lol
