I welcome TEST with open arms. They have numbers - and numbers have been an issue on the Cal side. Not only do they have numbers - they have numbers that are willing to work 2gether. As to the mechanics - its not an insurmountable curve. I think they will be more successful than the pundits think. Not to mention - anybody that is willing to kill frogs is alright with me.

I hope the knock knock - who's there will be concerted and Cal Mil get our act together. It will make the war alot more interesting imo.

The frontline has been bleeding - maybe they will be the triage we've been needing, or maybe not. Hope to see you gents soon and welcome to the longest war.

They'll do what most null sec blocs do when entering FW, they'll arrive all boisterous and strut around like we are all "scrubs" in frigates and destroyers. Then they'll try light a cyno on a gate, then try to warp to a fleet member on gate, then get generally ripped apart at almost every turn by a "scrub".

Then complain bitterly when their huge blob is blue balled.

That's usually what occurs.


I couldn't agree more. In fact, they're aleady chestbeating and strutting over how terrible they are.

This is from Reddit.

Minmatar Militia Person: "Congrats to TEST on joining the worst militia."
TESTie #1: "Did you honestly expect anything different?"
TESTie #2: "We'll be taking the situation from bad to worse then. God help them."

Honestly, I have my doubts on TEST's bold claims and am calling that this is going to be a close and shut case. Calmil "scrubs" have way too much experience with being disorganized and ripping themselves apart. Despite TEST's recent history, they still have nullsec level internal 'organization', something that doesn't really exist in FW outside of Fweddit.

Also, speaking of fweddit...if you thought their local spam was bad...ooh boy. You guys are in for a treat.

Their heads will explode when I tell them I'm a black, gay, Jewish man.


Just like their former CEO?

I have to admit, I am a bit worried. I have heard from reliable sources that they are planning on fielding 100,200 man fleets of prophecies and assault frigs. Normally, I would laugh at their faces, but spending several days in GalMil and having heard the FCs asked repeatedly "Blackbird is too expensive. Can I bring a griff";"I can't bring a cruiser, but i have all frig skills at 4 so I can take anything you want."...

It makes me feel a bit like someone who's about to get gang raped without any lube and you are dealing with someone who once asked PL can I bring a vexor to a gila fleet.

Honestly, I think that in a few days "CAN I BRINGZ A DRAKE?" will be music for GalMil FCs ears.

...The weakness of TEST is that it allows each individual to do whatever they want. Actually that's both a strength and a weakness, it makes them popular as people can just join them then farm isk without ever contributing, but of course it's a weakness that they have so many people not pursuing the alliance goal...

That explains a lot about them. Smile

Caldari FW may be "hot", but Gallente is the FW side you marry. Just sayin'.

"Wanted: SLA (Single Large Alliance) for long term relationship. "

I mean, come on fellas, when is a large 0.0 alliance ever going to join Gallente FW?

This 0.0 alliance discrimination is getting to be pretty damn absurd.

TBH, would you want em to join us with their "we all be so l33t and yo all be da lowsec fw scrubs and farmers" mentality? I say, let em join Caldari and then eventually leave all butthurt with standard "never wanted that small gang/stuff crap anyway" excuses.

So they know how to kill Ventures? Winmatar must be breathing a sigh of relief that TEST didn't join the Amarr.

I can't help but think Fweddits 'nullsec level internal organization' is a MOTD in their alliance channel:

Shitfit of the week: t1 shield thrashers, because we never learn
Local spam of the week: ANYTHING WITH HASHTAGS, it's ironic and thus really clever #YOLOSWAG

pew pew

No, it's their auth services like coalition wide jabber and logistics organization. It doesn't seem like a lot but in the context of FW where no one has any organization at all it sets them apart quite a bit.

Also they have better doctrines than t1 shield thrashers but they're apparently not considered engagable.
