You are merely "outnumbered" when the enemy brings 2 ships for everyone 1 of yours. You are "blobbed" when the enemy brings more than 3+ ships per 1 of yours.
Then we broke it down...
Ewar ships count as 2 "people." You add 0.5 a person for every ship class above your fleet's average class. Well this casts Rifterlings-LNA fights into a whole new light.
Silly blobbers.

Ed: What do OGBs count as? I should point out that we were mostly being facetious when we were talking about this. All's fair in love and war and all that jazz. edit: I hate acronyms. OGBs? Off-grid boosters.
Also yeah, I know you were. I was being facetious too. Post-fight comments are much more often "damn Cynabals" rather than "damn blobbers". Rifterlings - small gang frigate PvP - low/nullsec operations, newbie-friendly, free ship program; Join today! www.rifterlings.com

Blobs don't win because of tactics: they win thru sheer force of numbers. That's just as fail as ganking unarmed ships sitting in belts.
Please educate us on how doing something that is likely to win is a failure. Is this a bushido thing? Should we be dueling at the sun? I think he might be calling the individual people fail because of lack of e-honour.
I've found that if you far outnumber the enemy while using smaller ships, accusations of blobbing are much rarer. Frigate pilots have more honour. Rifterlings - small gang frigate PvP - low/nullsec operations, newbie-friendly, free ship program; Join today! www.rifterlings.com

The whole point of a game is to have fun, not to decimate your opponent. For some, decimating their opponents is fun.
