Originally by: MacQueen Edited by: MacQueen on 06/01/2008 20:10:55 I wonder how you store a titan when all of your POSes are blown up and you have no more space left. I guess you keep it logged off? Oh well, we'll find out in about a month or two.
Congratulations on not losing a titan, this must be a crowning achievement for the Band of Brothers alliance. I guess I'd be happy too if I had saved a titan after losing one previously and then losing a heapload of regions.
You sound quite upset .
Out of curiosity, how many regions and how many titans do Pandemic Legion own?
The same amount as always. How many regions and titans have you lost though?
So, what you are saying is you are measuring your success by never having accomplished anything to begin with? Nice logic....
There are fair number of people who never try to succeed because they are afraid they will fail, I guess you fall into this category.
And to answer your question, we have lost 1 titan and 3 regions. But at least we keep going and trying . There was this one alliance that lost almost all of their regions once to. Their name was Red Alliance, you may want to look em up and see how they are doing now.
Look up an alliance called Lotka Voltera. They're quite similar to your alliance, or I guess they were quite similar to your alliance.

Theres all kinds of alliances that were great powers that have fell, there were also insignificant alliances that never really accomplished anything. Kind of like yours.
Argue against Bob all you want. Yes we lost regions, yes we lost a Titan. At least we have the balls to try to take it all in the first place. I just love all the people who jump on the Goons+RA bandwaggon and try to talk about how "they" beat bob.

Interesting how Shrike managed to kill ships solo with the Doomsday at 23:35 (skullkeeper in a Malediction) and again 56 minutes later at 00:31 (Wainak in a Flycatcher). |

Probably due to server lag. When a DD goes off it takes quite a while for all the killmails (logs now) to be generated.
Or we activated our dev h4x, you decide.

Victory was achieved against BoB the day they retreated from S-U honestly.

The truth is, Molle almost lost his titan. He should have lost it. I mean, I played better than he did, i was sure of it! But thanks to my own stupidity and arrogance, I didn't see him controlling me the whole time.
I was getting a bigger pile of chips all night long, mocking him every time he lost a hand. I thought my mockery was working and his anger was apparent when he was about to fold his last possible hand. He was down to 4 blue chips, and the buy-in for the next round was 5 blue. So he put in his Avatar title as collateral for more funds I accepted with cloaked joy.. This was just what I had been planning. My smack talking had succeeded! The next round i would take the avatar from him in one fail swoop.
When I laid down my full house (aces high) and started to smile my "OMG I HAVE TO GO TO THE FORUMS AND POST HOW AWESOME I AM OVER AND OVER AND OVER" smile, i noticed that he was starting to smile too. After knowing him for nearly a decade, I knew this was bad for me. He laid down a royal flush.
He took every chip off the table, and his titan back as well. We were "all in" that last round. What the hell was I thinking? I was overconfident thanks to a whole night of kicking this Swedish meatball all over the place.
Wait, swedish meatball...
Dinner was good. A little too good. He's a good cook, but a lousy bartender.
I KNEW IT. HE GOT ME CRUNK. HE GOT ME CRUNK AND TOOK ADVANTAGE OF ME. AGAIN.
Bah whatever. I should have known it was coming. Abba knew exactly what he was doing the whole time. WHAT THE HELL WAS I THINKING? Why did i let him keep pouring me Turkish coffee? I thought I was crushing his ego with each pile of chips I took from him. The next morning as I nursed my Shrike-induced hangover I remembered that he didn't have an ego to begin with.

Originally by: Gnulpie Why why why bring 600 ships if 50 dreads plus SOME support would have been enough?? Tackle titan, kill carriers and mothership and then the titan. Result: one dead titan, one dead mothership and several carriers.
And the most stupid thing is to whine on the forums about lag and accuse ccp of some evil node manipulation. That is just idiotic.
People we fight tend to be afraid to risk quality ships. Heck, for me, if I have a 1.5bil isk Faction ship sitting in station - Its on the front line in a situation like this (and yes, I have done this before and will do so again). However most of the coalation are made up of isk farmer style alliances, mining or ratting or thinking that they are contributing to a 0.0 market by selling rat loot cheaply. They play the game more for isk and less for pvp, and as such, they use the most basic or affordable setup, prefering to leave quality ships to "someone else". To cover their own greed and incompetence - they just "stick it to the man" - Blame CCP for B0B H4X!
Thats why people were shooting the Titan with crap and filling local with hundreds of ships such as frigs, noobships and other useless but cheap ships that are ineffective outside the Titan's smartbomb range. I would not be surprised if 90% of hostiles in system were in ships useless for the job. Then again, nothing really surprises me much anymore. --

Bloody hell, Goons, first you try to claim that killmails showing huge numbers of noob ships and shuttles in system at the time of the fleet fight are nonsense because 'killmails can be 'lagged for hours' in big ops. Then you try to nitpick about timings of shipkills from a doomsday device and claim 'devhax' over a matter of minutes.
Pro tip: If you're going to try to spin some paper-thin excuse for causing your allies to miss out on a titan kill due to you spamming the system with crap ships at least agree a story in advance, and stick to it.
In the meantime, all you're doing is bumping a thread about how badly you failed.

So Goons lose some support ships, don't kill a titan, don't lose any caps, but do kill some BoB carriers that logonski the next day.
This is regarded as a victory for BoB.

Or better at reading at least. I'm not sure but I think the thread even has a title regarding it's nature. The word you're looking for is titan. You know, the titan incident yesterday that invoked the tears of many thousand goons? Yea, that one.
Carriers die every day, and the forumgoons have lost more than their fair share.
Ono, a logic bomb right on your forehead. Srry.

So Goons lag themselves out of a battle, had no chance to kill a titan because they didn't field any caps, and cry enough tears to irrigate africa.
This is rightly regarded as a victory for BoB.

It would have been a great fight if the servers and the software could acctually handle the load.
I wish that instead of introducing new things, that they would fix it so we can have these major fleet engagements...
