just blast spacemonkeys, you should execute a corp in the CFC to assure the others don't mess with you... its evil but it has to be done from time to time to assure you don't lock like softies, nullsec has to be ruled with an iron fist to keep it under control


But if we looked big and mean, then we might scare you away. And we can't have that! Space friends?


thanks for making a big chatbox out of the game

I thought you guys were going to kill test off...as I see it test is still out there in numbers.

Make it your new war to not take tests systems but actually kill them off completely.
8k+ members is still loads fo targets to kill Twisted

Or if you want a real battle make it your task in life to kill off BL or PL (Sorry guys just the first names that came to mind)

Plenty of targets out there

Yes who wants to take their shot at a blob.. Maybe break up your alliance and duke it out with them for fun. Why you need all those people anyways.

Lots of people want to take a shot at the blob. Plenty of folks fought against us in Fountain. And on the other side of space, plenty of folks are fighting a blob just as big as the CFC. "The blob," honestly, is a tired line and has been since its first utterance as a rationalization for cognitive dissonance and logistical failure. Employing as many people as you can muster to fight a common foe is a simple element of strategy that has served humanity forever, and it is no different in the pretend space future. But perhaps you are right: perhaps we have become victims of our own successful diplomacy. We shall see what the future holds.


If there are all these fights against your "blob" then why *****? Stupid..... and quit trying to use big words it doesn't work for you.

"you should create game content by simply opening yourselves up to get mopped up like TEST"

Any other amazing ideas?
I take it that you still haven't throughout read the topic at hand?
Your posts seem to indicate either that, or a massive confusion as to the identities of posters such as Lyris Nairn.

Still, your strong-man-show at not reading topics is cute.

Soo attack the cfc? Why does all of 0.0 revolve around the cfc?


This is curious to me, too. Why does every suggestion in this thread come back to what the CFC should do? Is there no one left in EVE Online who wants to do things for "the lulz," or for the "good fights," or whatever else people are calling fun these days? Surely among the various entities still hostile to the CFC, and to GSF particularly, one of them would like to step up to the plate and show that they have the courage, and the competency, to match their convictions?


People that you are referring to are having fun by playing the game and not creating ridiculously dumb posts on the GD forums.

OP, you could always pay some mercs to fight you. Lol

Not the perfect solution, but if lots of people do that it might just be fun enough. and the best part is: any isk you happen to earn can be spend to hire more mercs.

Stupidity should be a bannable offense.

Fighting back is more fun than not.

I imagine gaming websites talking about Eve, and describing how the most powerful coalition in the game needs to pay mercs to attack them in order to "create content" for its members. I am sure this would help attract many new players to Eve Online!

Only because you didn't imagine it on TMDC first, EVEs premier source of filtered news.
They'd put the best spin available on it, sell it to CCP and get percentages.

I love the smell of spinned news in the morning, it smells like ... Politics!

Fairly sure US/UK/FR Forces will be going head to head with Russian and Chinese troops in Syria any day now. Hold onto your hats. Things are about to get FUBAR.

It's so crazy. Why would Assad and his army, clearly with the upper hand in the war against the Islamist rebels, use chemical weapons? It would be an invitation to give other, western, countries and excuse to march in there and dispose of Assad. It's not like they aren't already supporting the rebels. "Humanitarian" my ass. Do you think a ragtag team of rebels from, not only Syria, but Iran, Egypt, Morocco, even Germany, France and Belgium, fighting for an Islamic caliphate in Syria, would have any idea how to make chemical weapons? Let alone use them effectively?

And why do you think the UN was being shot at when they tried to get on the site of the supposed regime-executed chemical attack? So they don't find out the truth.

Syria - our little puppet of the '10s. Iraq was the '00s. Serbia the '90s. Afghanistan the '80s. It goes on and on.

Just now, SPIEGEL.de, a brittle facade of journalism of what it once was, declared that Syria could "also potentially support Lebanon with biological or chemical weapons". See how the media tries to influence us? "Also support" as if they were already using them! Ridiculous!

I guess the most significant thing about all this, at the end of the day, is that; the UNITED NATIONS is now being completly undermined and has very little perpose in the contemporary world.

Once WW3 is done there will be need for a new version of the League of Nations (defunct) United Nations (defunct)

This will be the one World Government.

A) They got to the site anyway.

B) They were not there to determine who used the weapons but IF it was actually a chemical weapon that was used.

C) Russia "supports" Assad vocally because Syria is one of Russias many neighbours. They'll complain a lot file some protests and be very glad once the mad man is gone. They'll also be glad if Syria manages to get a secular democratic successor state in return, as those are less like to start any hostilities (hint: won't happen, as almost always the western cuntries hesitated for to long and some religious nutjobs jumped in the breach to unify the Syrian rebel forces).

EDIT: I do not think this kind of conversation has a place in this thread, so to stay on topic:

Yay mercs! I'd be looking forward to mass small gang roaming events and... uuuh... ran out of steam there. But mass small gang roaming still sounds like fun.

Stupidity should be a bannable offense.

Fighting back is more fun than not.

Well, the precedent is Alexander weeping because he had no more worlds to conquer. Same for Genghis Khan's successor Khans, more or less. If you build your empire through fighting, peace becomes boredom and stagnation. So, if following history, the next stage should be stagnation, then the outbreak of a vicious internal power struggle, and eventually a split into smaller rival factions. If not at war with each other, than at least despising each other as traitors. How about giving it a try, GSF/CFC? Could be fun. Blink

BTW, bummer that our high sec guerillas ops aren't providing sufficient entertainment yet. We're working on it, but the effects are still pretty much limited to local individual CFC members....
