I don't think you made your point yet.

Could you add in some Sun Tzu quotes?

I'm not refined enough for Sun Tzu quotes. I still laugh at armpit music and fart jokes.

Just saying that by being mindful you can avoid being a bloody hypocrite. I'm not sure why you think I think you are obliged to do anything. It's actually flattering that you keep doing the same nonsense all the time.

And you wouldn't need to deploy 3 Guardians and a random assortment of T3s and HACs to fight a Nighthawk and a bunch of frigs.

But tryharding is the trend, all the cool kids are doing it.

so you blame others for your inadequacies? What?

Uh oh, Caldari just flipped two systems back to back.

It seems that even a blob of 17+ simply wasn't enough to provide the 2v1 odds Gallente require to win at PVP.

Rumors abound as to some variant of hi-sec or non-FW lowsec. You would have thought that once they lost Kinakka, those squids would have just collapsed back to the next home system and so forth and so forth. For some reason though when the going gets tough over there they prefer to just drop FW or move to hi-sec.

There were at least two of the sieges that would have been swung/lasted too long for us if the squids had engaged in even some basic moves helping each other out.

It is what it is though, they'd prefer to give up and talk about the farming alts that took Kinakka, or the Gall deplexing alt that killed all the Diesel corp squids pushing up the backwater systems threatening the WZ push.


Hey, Yuri and his infinite brilliance in action!

I'm sure Gallente having about 3 or 4 times the active numbers has nothing to do with it.

It's difficult to defend a system with 5-8 guys against a 24 / 7 plex fleet of 40 to 60. Literally logged in at 5:00 AM randomly with 50 frogs in Pav.

Even with a coordinated Caldari defense effort, which there were at times, we were unable to stave off the endless hordes of Frogs. There are simply too many.

I'm not sure why you are so proud of yourselves. It's like the Persians boasting about being victorious over the Greeks at Thermopylae.

With the way the FW plexes work, you can't just "improvise, adapt, and overcome" 4 times your numbers.

You should know this.

This.

The only reason Caldari managed to flip two systems so quickly was that it was during Russian primetime, with numerous Russian pirate corps persuaded to help even the odds against the inevitable Gallente blob. If it was US TZ, there would be 50+ Gal polesmokers looking for 'good fights'.

Also, the rampant farming of Gallente defensives by stabbed, cloaky farming alts has devalued Gal LP to the point where it's no longer as lucrative for non-militia entities to AFK 'defend' with T1 frigs.

No snarkiness, just my honest opinion.

During the attack on Okkamon, the Calmill defending pushed us far enough that we were starting to reevaluate. The two jump reship distance and some extremely tenacious defending pushed the length of the siege out to what (I struggle to remember) about 5-6 days? We redoubled our efforts, I suspect there was a logistics hiccup on Heiians side, and that was that.

My point though is that it was an extremely close fight. In that fight (according to our stats compiled with API) Heiian pilots lost almost 10b in ships. Templis, a perennial top two of their militia, lost slightly over 500m in Okkamon. OMG lost under 100m in ships. These are ships losses tallied by what corp flag the ship was flying under when it was killed., not who handed them out.

This is the start, finish and middle of what's been going wrong on your side for far longer than I care to remember.

We didnt want those systems anyway. Occupancy is stupid and doesnt matter. Also the mechanics are broken, etc.
