lol @OP

let me introduce you to Björgólfur Thor Björgólfsson:
Quote:
He went to Russia along with his father and his friend Magnús Þorsteinsson.

A report published in Denmark noted that the Committee on External Economic Relations in Saint Petersburg Mayor's office was responsible for foreigners. The committee's chairman was Vladimir Putin between 1991 and 1996.[2]

The Icelandic businessmen, together with Russian partners, founded bottling company Baltic Bottling Plant, which was sold to Pepsi. Next they founded a brewing company. ООО "Торговый дом "РОСА" was registered in March 1995 and changed its name to Bravo OOO in February 1996 (address was also changed). It further changed its name to Bravo International OOO in August 1996 and Bravo International JSC in December 1997.[2] Founders of Bravo were six companies registered in Limassol, Cyprus - Björgólfsson was president of all of them.[2] Bravo Brewery became a success on the premium beer Botchkarov.

An article in The Guardian (2005) wondered where Björgólfsson's money comes from and noted that in the 1990s the Icelanders "were not only ploughing money into the country but doing it in the city regarded as the Russian mafia capital. That investment was being made in the drinks sector, seen by the mafia as the industry of choice."[3] Competitors in the Saint Petersburg brewing market faced problems. For instance, Ilya Weismann, deputy director of competing beverage company Baltic, was assassinated on January 10, 2000. Later Baltic director general Aslanbek Chochiev was also assassinated. One competing Saint Petersburg brewery burned to the ground.[2][3]

The company became the fastest growing brewery in Russia. Heineken bought the brewery for $400m in 2002.[2][4]

He returned to Iceland to gain interest in numerous ventures there.

Quote:
The owner or owners of Novator are hiding behind a web of companies which includes companies in places such as Cyprus, Cayman Islands, Delaware, Gibraltar, Tortola (British Virgin Islands), and Luxembourg.[1]

Investigations published in Denmark suggest that the underlying companies are linked to Russian companies.[2]

Novator also has two seats on CCP's Board of Directors:

Birgir Már Ragnarsson, Novator Partners LLP
Sigurður Ólafsson, Novator ehf.



There is no Russian connection.

With that guy owning 30% stock is that why drinks are so popular in EVE? They get us thirsty then we go out and buy his drinks and makes his investment worth it.

I'm still waiting for the details on how PL being blue to TEST who are blue to Goons who are blue to RA who are blue with WN who are blue with NCDot. is good for the game? (I'm sure all the other Russians xXDeathXx people or wtfever fit in there, I just don't know how exactly atm).

The OP is talking about the 1300 man fight in UOX- Yesterday. Some south allies collided with DFR and their pets (PL, RA,WN, and BoB (raiden & NC.).

CCP is taking blocs appart but takes long. Its based on equality. Once there where 4 bloc´s and eve politic & sov was boring. North there was NC (razor, MM, ect & goons,
South BoB,
North East Russian bloc,
South East south bloc (-A-, Rol, SE)

CCP uses Allaince level resources to keep EVE politic dynamic, human greed is #1 war starter. The following happend:

Prom & dyspo got nerfed & cosmic sig got buffed,
bob died due several resons and the space wasnt worth fighting anymore
supers got buffed
bob reformed into Raiden & Nc. & alied with the second biggest bloc after -A- got their space removed by russian bloc & PL mercs
bob & dfr aimed on the tech moons
NC died tech moons are devided, goons has a NIP (deklein is worth 600b a month in tech, north 5,5 tril isk)
Current situation: goons has piece of pie, bob has new prom & dyspo moons, dfr is building dozens of super capitals each month in all safety and they & pets rent out 1/2 of eve systems that no one can take,
Due equility rule CCP can not change techmoons untill the time expires that nc were sitting on them. It wouldnt be fare to let someone fight over it and change it just when they get their hands on it.

Check Mate CCP, u lose. Personaly i dont mind being underdog, atleast i dont have a 50 jump blue radius around me Lol

CCP is facing the following issue:
Relocating moons to another region other in that bloc has no use. Blobbing will happen and Bloc just moved. My bet is an overal nerf or such an increase in a certain region that a cival war breaks out inside current bloc. How u see it, ccp has ****** up with the moon distrubution. Giving alliances trillions of isk that are being used for stategic (hiring mercs), militariy (give out free supers, ships ect) economic (some alliances are collecting T2 bpo´s with tech isk) en social (hiring FC´s for many billions a month) advantages.

This is my personal opinion

If relativity equals time plus momentum, what equals relativity, if the momentum is minus to the time?
