Originally by: Ehrine Ashbark Sapp, towers have to be up for 5 days to count on the DT check. CVA spammed just before DT 5 days ago and you spammed back after. As such for todays check they're ahead.
There has never been a DT where we have not had more large towers up than CVA.

Originally by: Verone It's a sad state of affairs to see such bitter words between U'K and CVA after they've played together so long as enemies with mutual respect for each other.
If ever there was proof needed that the existing system of sovereignty and POS warfare was broken and very much not fun... . Every single moon in 9UY4-H now has a tower at it -- that's well over 50 towers. I can't imagine that either side will have time to fight with all the refueling we'll be doing.
<tinfoilhat> Makes me wonder which players have POS fuel BPOs... </tinfoilhat>

Originally by: Verone Sorry to be blunt but when we failed, we admitted we'd lost and you'd outblobbed us and we moved on learning from the experience.
I don't see as many parallels as you do, but I suppose that's a result of playing for the defense during both sieges.
In any event, we haven't exactly been outblobbed yet; unless the other team starts destroying our towers, we will regain sovereignty as soon as the game mechanics dictate.
To be sure, I'm quite opposed to any OOC bitterness on the part of my teammates and do my best to talk people out of that position when I can -- not very successfully, lately. I'm especially unhappy when it's done in public as this is obviously a game where "public opinion" is pretty important, and it seems to me that being bitter in public is about the worst PR move you can make.
Originally by: Verone A massive turning point like this deserves to be posted IN CHARACTER on an IN CHARACTER forum, rather than angry members of Ushra'Khan coming here (of all bloody places given the crap that gets posted here) and making poorly veiled attempts at flaming the hell out of CVA for doing exactly what you do to 9UY when you need to defend it.
I certainly can't argue against the first half of your point; in our defense, I can only say that we're all pretty tired and I suspect that it will be a few hours before someone can muster up the creativity required for an in-character post.
But with respect to the second half of what you wrote, I seem to recall that there were nearly daily POS battles back in September, whether at your towers or at ours. In contrast, since the first few days of this siege, the only attempts to destroy the other team's towers have been ours. I'm not going to claim that there's anything wrong with that -- it's obviously a legitimate approach to today's game mechanics -- but it's neither fun nor interesting. As such, it certainly contributes to people's feelings of bitterness.
Originally by: Verone To be honest, this thread is a disgrace. I thought it was pretty low letting a thief back into your alliance who badmouthed U'K to get into our corp before taking off with 500m worth of gear I personally donated to him. I'm not going to go into detail with that here, but I'm sad to say this has sunk to a new low.
I doubt that his corp was aware of this when he was was let back in, and you can be sure that we began to collect funds for restitution as soon as we learned about it. In any event, this hardly seems related to the topic of the thread.

Originally by: Hardin The Minmatars and allies have had two/three weeks in which to launch their own 'counter-offensive' and knock down CVA POSes errected in their home system. Indeed, that is one of the reasons why for a long period we maintained only a small number of POSes in the system. However, apart from sporadic attacks early on they chose not to.
Those "sporadic attacks" were pretty consistent until the first "POS spam" about a week ago; there wasn't a single CVA POS before then that hadn't been in reinforced mode at least once, and we had destroyed two (if I recall correctly).
(I use "POS spam" here to refer to the act of erecting more than five towers in a very short period of time, and do not intend anything pejorative by the phrase.)

Originally by: CiderKing I learned today we are now RED to U'K for no reason.....While some are rejoicing at today's events, I am sadden at how a once honorable ally has fallen to become a pirate force itself.
No reason? BOS ships tried to help repair a Slammers' POS that was put up without permission in H6. We were pretty sad about setting you red as well, but as I understand it, your pilots refused repeated attempts at convos.
