why do you guys always come up with that?

Because nothing is forgotten. Two successive world wars were held with Germany being a main character and aggressor. And these events were not so long time ago. Only a century ago. From the point of view of whole humankind history it was like yesterday.


To be fair, Germany wasn't any more at fault for WWI than the other powers, and they did get screwed over in the end.
The problem was a system of alliances, and small crud down in Serbia had a domino effect.

If it weren't for direct US intervention in 1917, they probably would have won.
In 1917:
* the Russians surrendered to German, enabling them to shift almost all their resources and troops to the west
* The French army began to mutiny, at one point 50% of the troops refused to fight, the mutinies were ended with the promise of no more offensives
* The US entered the war for BS reasons, and helped France repel the German attacks..

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Army_Mutinies

Regarding WWII.... there is no excusing the genocide.... but...
Much of the polish territory was former German territory, its not a complete BS argument that Germany had some justification for trying to take it back (though it did lie and use false flag operations like the gleiwitz incident to bolster their case).

Lets not forget that two countries invaded Poland... Germany and Russia, but the rest of the "west" declared war on one, and allied with the other... wtf? also lets not forget that Russia invaded Finland with no justification...
The German invasion of France was completely justified, as France declared war on Germany, not vice versa (though, going through belgium, again, was wrong)

France + Britain + the US should have just sat back, and watched Germany and Russia go at it again... then step in when both sides have exhausted each other. -> While we're at it, lets give Russia the credit it deserves for defeating Germany.
The European war was effectively over after 1943 and the battle of Kursk. The Nazis were just too stubborn to realize it. The landings in Normandy in 1944 just made things go quicker.


Despite this above, more sympathetic towards Germany, view of history, that doesn't change my opinion of the DIN community as spoiled brats, sore losers, general pricks, etc,

So the person who feels like popping the MOM has complete and utter control and anyone else cannot do anything about it unless they decide to suicide gank the whole fleet.

You do not need to gank the entire fleet, just the logis.

It is cute how incursion bears become pvp experts all of a sudden when this issue comes up for discussion. Watch what they do, not what they say Lol because they have never successfully pulled off the ganks necessary to accomplish their goals, and they never will.

I bring 2 fully fitted Logistics ships and two fully fitted DPS ships to the Incursion constellation, I am pretty confident that 20 to 30 other members do the same. So in theory your ganking logis will slow down a fleet for 10 or 15 minutes.

Yeah, because these incursion characters is our main characters within EVE, we do not know anything or have contacts elsewhere besides the incursions communities....

Riiight.... That is how we all are...

For those not familiar with the past incursion history, ISN had staged a revolt to seclude itself from the TVP monarchy led by Daisy Cutter.

To instead kill moms whenever we feel like it.

Quote:
TVP was appalled by the inaction of ISN to partake in the agreement, especially considering most ISN members had at one time flown with TVP.

So asshats banned other asshats from tvp/isn primary.

Quote:

While ISN had no official agreement with the other communities, peace was still manageable with minor conflicts here and there in a grab for resources.
Like contesting scrap metal fleets whenever we can so we can get 200m/h

Quote:
Unfortunately this peace was short lived as DIN was not happy with the current state of affairs.

Because forcing every community into one incursion helps contesting so much, right?

Quote:
DIN broke the peace agreement -- what agreement? you on crack?
and began invading the Mom sites, which was of great concern to the other communities as it denied their rights to farm freely in space.

oh nos! they contesting our moms mimimi... DIN's modus operandi is not really a big seekrit

Keep in mind this is a poorly written narrative of historical fiction I wrote at work while teaching myself P6 and yes I had to "stretch" the wording a bit to get a halfway similar comparison. Ahhh the joys of propaganda... Incursion communities have now become the politics of PVE in which no one can discuss without a grudge match.

Now the next question is: of the historical government parties from the WWII era, match the incursion community to the respective government party.

i dont think you need comparisons to rl events that barely fit when you can make use of the ingame lore... Take Citizen Aistur or Slave Endoman01 for example.. they enslaved thousands and no matter how often you kill them they will just reship and throw more minions at you...

take a guess which fc has become the next incarnation of sansha kuvakei himself..

What ever happened to 1st come 1st serve. These people that get mad that the MOM was popped are the product of a culture of "even the loser gets a trophy."

There had been an agreement between the incursion communities back then, that they could take turns popping the mom.. Armor community one time, then the shield community, then back to armor and so forth.

That went on for a good year I think, getting them all fat and lazy and settled in their seat ontop of the "food chain", thinking this would go on forever.
When more and more pilots started to find interest in Incursions, and didn't agree with the major communities, some split and made their own factions, and found themself strong enough to take down a incursion mothership, started to ask why they should be left out of the spoils.
The upper class's suddenly saw that their comfortable position ontop of the pyramid was in danger, so their responds were to ban, threaten and even attempted to gank/interupt the upstarts by harrashment tatics, in the form of blackbirds, and loot stealers when mom's were killed.

And I think that have resulted in the situation we are in now... More and more new communities starts to surface, some from old communities, others fresh of the block. And many of them able to field and kill motherships.
