Originally by: Lord WarATron What a rant. You are just annoyed that your alliance flies some titans that were originally built by bob. Opps!

Originally by: welsh wizard Edited by: welsh wizard on 14/03/2009 18:36:47 Good read, although the PNQY bit isn't particuarly accurate and it certainly wasn't 'planned'. The station fell by chance when a Celes roaming gang noticed that the station was shootable (offline poses? can't remember, Mitch/Proxay?). Celes had space superiority during GMT and initiated the ping pong. It was like 24 hours atleast before we even had the idea of getting on the blower to ASCN to tip them off.
Entertaining read though, haven't actually read anything that long on CAOD in, well, ever.
It was a long time ago so my memory of it isn't exactly crystal clear but is that the way it happened? I remember losing sov before that at one stage due to not fueling towers or something but I think your thinking of an occurrence later on when celes took the station not that actual ASCN thing, which for a noob was fun as hell at the time.
Xelas brosefs represent y0!

Oh man it's been ages since I had a post off with James90210. Pretty sure I won the last one. I'm just cooking dinner (rack of lamb) but I'll pop back in an hour or so to sort this thread out. Hang on in there, CAOD.

I've disliked James long posts in the past, and said so in those topics...
While I take everything here with several grains of salt, I must confess, I have been entertained.

I have been waiting for the new James post, I knew he had to make a good one now that delve was steamrolled, although it was still blind luck. It's surprising how much you were right, about MC and such as well. Its easy to see how bobs power declined over the time, due in part ironically to changes CCP implemented to the game, starting with the titan change. You could say CCP have worked for and against them. Bob had always relied heavily on metagaming and superior knowledge of how the game worked (including server lag), but in the end the differences were minimal between them and the enemy, hence they lost the advantage.
Also im loling at the ex bob pets including who were even backstabbed by bob still trying to root for them. --------------

Nice bit of propaganda, though I'm not sure why you need it since BoB is dead (maybe just to satisfy your COAD attention ***** fetish). Good job making it seem like you participated in most of the major events in EVE, too bad it's only a video game :D

Originally by: Proxay I feel it'd hit the target audience more on your private forums, or at least the bob section would, as it was written as more of a eulogy than anything.
Interesting take, I think a lot more of the eve community than you do, apparently. If I wasn't involved in the war, I'd still be interested in the war, or its denouement. The target audience is everyone that plays in 0.0. If TAFKAB had actually won, eve outside of empire would be an oligarchy. Instead, it is the wild, wild, west of late 19th century north america. Anybody with testicular fortitude and the will can come in and stake a claim.
If BoB had lived, and been successful, the universe would be a boring place, and pilots would be under their yoke. Instead, the allies of goonswarm, with the help of some goons, managed to keep the universe free. I think that calls for a great CAOD post, and James has delivered not only with his prose, but also with the hint that he was not just a recorder of history, but also an important component of its construction.

Finding out the details of that war is interesting, but I'm going to be honest, the bias in that is absolutely pathetic. We get that you hate BoB, but if you're trying to tell me that destroying an alliance three times their size should have been accomplished in a week or even a month is ridiculous. The time-frame in which they actually slaughtered ASCN was fairly impressive, and they did down D2, and they did spend quite a bit of time with the upper hand against RSF. Revisionist history sucks.

Oh James, you're posts are so informative and well written,
CCP needs to pay you for this.
Also, ever thought of writing a Movie script or TV series on this.

I actually completely agree with him on that point :P You have to realize that ASCN was getting utterly slaughtered in fleet fight after fleet fight, other large alliances (KOS, BRUCE) have folded under less pressure in much smaller timeframes - and as he said ASCN had very little internal cohesion.
Quote: and they did down D2, and they did spend quite a bit of time with the upper hand against RSF. Revisionist history sucks.
No that was MC and lots of cannonfodder alliances, not BoB.
I dunno, his posting SEEMS really biased, but that's just his style and it's entirely possible that 99% of it is truth anyway.
I'm not an expert on ASCN or that particular war, but I did pay close attention to the politics and forums at the time, and everything he posted pretty much matches up as far as I recall.

Originally by: Ryoken McKeon Revisionist history sucks.
Revisionist history can actually be very interesting, and even if it's wrong it can make a very valuable contribution by forcing advocates of the "mainstream" history to reevaluate their views. I've http://www.eve-tribune.com/index.php? no=3_35&page=5written[/url] about ASCN's collapse myself and I'll be honest, this has forced me to seriously reconsider my initial thesis (ASCN got steamrolled due to insufficient leadership)--although I must say I have no idea how credible James' account actually is. Anyway, great piece James!
As a total aside: does anyone else feel like they're watching Forrest Gump when they read James' post?
