Since the coalition was exactly the same before and after the rebrand, are you saying the new name is a bad one?

It wasn't just the name that changed.

Alright, you shifted some of the vassal alliances around, that's totally different.

Nah he talking culturally. There was a change from CFC to Imperium because the latter is more marketable. It stopped being about the game and about Mittani's multi-dollar media empire. That is why Endie and Bat Country left, and Suas and BOS left, its why Blwarf left (among other reasons), its why Vily left.

The internal culture of Goons and CFC changed, and is largely responsible for why their empire is falling faster than a house of cards on a windy day. No one gives a **** about fighting for Mittani Media.

Not really seeing the irony. What I'm saying is that either we will continue rolling over anyone, or the new superpower will.




What new super power?

Russians have played that way since day 1, fight each other, but band together if someone tries to **** on us.

Ye, red alliance and xxdeathxx were certainly helping Solar during their ~1 year droneland defence war vs the N3+co. blueball.

oh wait

Death and Red had no capacity to assist Solar though. They were homeless at the time of N3 purging and both only got back on the Sov map because N3 let them back in. Solar and Death haven't really gotten along since the old glory days of Red Alliance when Mactep and Death were part of RA, before the schism. Have to remember it was Solar who took Deaths space after the DRF North War. (also it was hardly a 1 year war, it lasted maybe a month, Solar couldn't do anything against the WreckingBall)

Solar traditionally is more friendly with the southern alliances (SoCo folks like AAA, ROL) while Death traditionally gets along better with Stain Wagon alliances in the south. Typically if Solar is strong, SoCo is probably strong, if Death is strong, StainWagon is probably strong.

Russians are weird like that, and I don't know what made them split like they did, but since it happened its been kind of an internal forever war between the groups.

The one that will inevitably fill whatever universe sized hole the Imperium will leave behind if it were somehow defeated.

In reality, even if we lose our space on the short term, in the long term you'll see us pop up again somewhere else. Once the MBC money well runs dry, the war hype is over, fleet numbers dwindle and things go back to normal, that's when we start retaking what we lost.

But it won't even get to that, because all of those things will happen long before the last patch of yellow is gone from the map.

I didn't make it in time to whore on the kills.



The CFC has struck a major blow against everybody who didn't get there in time to destroy their dreads.

(11:10:54 AM) tiberizzle: we just need to disband

DOKDO,

As nearly all of you have heard by now, I am the Director/Skyteam-level spy. Many people are messaging me and mailing me about the "why", so here it is:

First of all. I have been a spy for a long long time. It goes way back to when Rudazara was FCing for Black Legion and we were fighting in the south. However, my intention was to create content for the coalition by contacting the enemies and setting up fights. This is petty and all of the Imperium FCs do it with frenemies. I did this with Black Legion because I wanted to fight. I did this with Legion of Death in Geminate as well when we were in Bastion and I have done it with every ******* alliance we have fought since then. This again is petty spying and giving up positions/fleet comps only allows the enemy (if he is honorable) to bring a fightable fleet. IF they came with a counter, I just ran. Easy as that. This is why everyone loved Rembafreet, becuase I got us fights and fun, but you can thank enemy spy FCs.

Then came the Cloud Ring war. We were sent into Cloud Ring over and over and over again. We were pounding space for no ******* reason over and over again. I really thought that the war in CR would make a difference and that the Viceroy **** was real, so I put my whole effort into FCing as much as I could. I was writing TMC articles left and right... drinking the coolaid. Things changed.. The Mittani, DBRB and the other illum nerds were on a ******* boat eating seafood while I was ignoring my real life, my family and kids fighting his ******* war. I had become the worst father and family man because of a stupid game and the Illum continued to push the war. I was working hard for his cause and they left to go on a ******* Yacht trip.

The Illum's idea of how to play this game does not benefit the players who want to actually fight. Instead of real fights, they want to meta the **** out of every aspect of this game to win their version of a victory.

The deception was not about money. I had access to upwards of 25B ISK from the SRP wallet, mounds of ISK in assets from miniluv, access to three to four titans (not including momo's) and nearly 50B ISK from DOKDO. All of this could have been mine if I was a real traitor. In fact many days I wanted to take it all, but other than my change in view of the Imperium, I was still ~loyal~ to DOKDO's cause and never had the heart to steal.

Luckily, as I knew the Illum would be hunting me out as I began the leaks, I took logs and all kinds of other things with me. I knew I was going to be caught, but the fall of the Imperium is too goddamn funny to pass up and I kept leaking. I wanted to show the world what the GSF directorate really thinks about their allies. They literally plan to allow everyone to fall for their cause and yes it will all be on reddit very soon.

My biggest problem is that I couldn't tell anyone or ask for advice on my problematic situation. I was in between a rock and hard place. I couldn't truly betray the CFC without betraying you all as well. I have met many of you in real life and I hope that you dont think worse of me as a person.

To Twee, don't forget what you have become and who put you there. You are in the position you are now because of my idea to unite all of the Koreans. While this is a really ****** way to go out and I am the traitor, don't forget where you came from. You were a Bastion line member and now look, you're a director of GSF, the once greatest alliance in the game, but now a bleeding mule.

When you sit in the seat above the clouds and you can't see the city below, there are no people nor cars nor critters to enjoy. I am coming back to earth.

I will not reveal where I am going; however, when I get there, I suggest all of you move with me. I sent you the mail days ago telling you to move and its for a reason. You are going to lose, the Imperium will fall, and you will be stuck with all of your **** in space you don't own. The Imperium is falling apart and corps/members are dropping daily. I am sorry for all of this, but it must be done to save the game.

Long live DOKDO.

We are far removed from the days of a new super power. You don't honestly think guys like NC. or PL are going to remain part of a 50K sea of "soft" blues do you? Or the ~10K pilots made up by the 5 Low Sec groups forming Voltron? Horde won't be part of a new super power, they pick fights for PL to escalate too, same with Waffles.


Usually every revolution on the Earth finishes this way: old 'democrats' taken over power forget their principles... People say: after killing the dragon you become new dragon.

Let's just wait and see. But in EveO we usually see peoples in nature....

Looks like Goons finally got their buff from CCP.

With AoE damage from exploding Titans we can expect the bright future for them all.

So, you have trouble in real life and have lost control over your gaming habits. Seriously man, having fleets and fleet commanders around is cool and all, but if you need a break, just take one.
