EVE General Discussion

As you all know by now; there was a huge, running battle in Tribute yesterday between "The Good Guys" / Moneybadger Coalition and CFC that turned into a full route for CFC after CO2 defected to the other side. I won't get into the reasons why CO2 may have done this as there is so much spin, separating fact from fiction is not possible.

Listening to the various interviews afterwards...I noticed this common theme from anyone within the Imperium/CFC as far as what they were saying goes.

"We will outlast this."
"They do not have the energy to spend even a week at this."
"They do not have any inspirational leader to keep them going."

I sat back and I pondered this for a minute...and I realized something.

The Imperium thinks it is beyond the power of Times ravages. Of the cycles that govern the rise and falls of empires, real and digital. They think they are still invincible and too powerful to fall.

The pilots in New Eden can prove this wrong.

I; as a newer pilot coming up on 3 months in the game, ask you to keep this fight going. To prove The Mittani and his cohorts wrong. That the Imperium can be brought to kneel before the greater might of the whole. The greater might of us players; newbro and veteran; industrial, explorer, and fighter alike. We bring them to heel and we show them they are like the Spanish Armada in 1588 before facing England on the seas. We strip them of their power and destroy the foundations of their Ivory Towers.

We make even The Mittani realize he is not beyond reproach. That to have everything destroyed is to give a space for a new creation to happen. That the old must give way to the new.

And should the Imperium survive this? We make sure they no longer hold the power they used too. To decide what alliances live and which ones they destroy for even daring to exist without their say so.

New Eden rise up and show this young pilot; who believes the impossible can be done by sheer Force of Will and the fortitude to carry on; how wrong the Imperium is about it's place of power being untouchable.

Go beyond the impossible everyone and good fights to all!

Did you try to send me something in-game?

dude, you owe me a keyboard...

The battle of J-GAMP being the May'n event, so to speak.

Right, and the "revolution" believes it is beyond the capacity to fail in its current venture. It's going to take a lot more to destroy a coalition that has stood for a long time in EVE than just throwing hundreds of pilots into repeated blitzkriegs and hope to overwhelm with just numbers alone.

Given how that seems to be the case so far, all it will takes is for one major defeat for the Badger Coalition to come to a grinding halt and lose their momentum. Has the Badger Coalition even touched a single Super Capital in any of the engagements? As long as the Imperium doesn't give the Northern Coalition and Pandemic Legion what they want, they aren't going to win the war.

I would not be surprised, personally, if the entire motivation behind this war is because Northern Coalition and Pandemic Legion only want revenge for the crushing losses they suffered at B-R5RB. Must be truly painful, having your greatest failing immortalized.

Revenge should never be a motivation for this kind of conflict. The motivation should always be based in an ideal. Whether that ideal is money or the freedom to fly among the stars as you choose. I myself prefer the ideal of the latter.

To fly as one chooses to fly and never ask others to answer to my ideals nor to my vision.

Incidentally, the English Armada that was formed to press the English advantage after the destruction of Spain's armada was quickly destroyed, leaving Spain once again the greater naval power.

Everyone is bleating that the goons must fall because they are corrupt and evil and the world will be a better place if they are gone. We can actually draw parallels to the real world here. Everyone was bleating that Saddam Hussein and Gaddafi must go because they corrupt and evil and the world will be a better place if they are gone; yet when they were gone what were they replaced by...

I can understand why some of the allied forces want revenge on the goons, but for most of us, fighting to remove one power bloc so that it can be replaced by another power bloc has little point or meaning.

Sure, go and have fun fighting in a war, but don't be under any illusion that you are doing this for the greater good of Eve.

way too soon for godwin's law to be kicking in, wouldn't you say?

What a shitpost
