I wish there was a site that containing all the hilarious BOB quotes with timestamps and summary of the time period.
I want to be able to go to that site and pick a few quotes and troll whatever is left of Kenny in local forever.

true but bob was always playing on honour, white knight card always saying they do it by skill etc. and they were first to use metagaming as valid option.
Not really the first to embrace it, if anything BoB was a bit of a late arrival on the "Total War" scene, but I agree that tends to be the popular opinion (maybe because the thought of us being on your TS, or in your forums, or on your IRC command channels was nearly effective as us actually being there. Much of the reported meta-gaming stuff, certainly early on, never actually happened. However, making people beleive it was to our advantage.)
Great write up by the way. I can't deny that there have been some things which happened within the alliance which made me question the direction it was taking. I have no doubt that the underlying conflict between some of the old guard and the newer "total war" thinking probably had a negative impact. Whilst e-honour is a much mocked thing in the Eve of today I see no shame in it, and as it seemed to diminish within the alliance I began to wonder if we were trading something worthwhile for a sack full of shiny, but ultimately worthless, trinkets. If I were to be absolutely honest I would have much rather that we had gone down all guns blazing at The Alamo during the previous Delve invasion than continued to see the betrayal we suffered. I wasn't so much angry as genuinely shocked and, I have to confess, disappointed. I guess because it was something that I had never even considered doing it just did not occur to me that someone else may. Maybe my e-honour backfired on me there, but it does lead on to my next point. In the Eve which exists today, certainly with regards to alliance politics and warfare, it seems to me that to succeed you must be prepared to play in a style I just can't bring myself to adopt. I'm not saying that it is a bad thing, it just isn't *my* thing. Whilst there are those who would berate our foes for the tactics they employed there is no denying that they were effective. I guess if winning at all costs is your thing then they have achieved a well deserved victory which I am sure they are enjoying greatly, and so they should.
I'm struggling to avoid making this all sound like the bitter rantings of a defeated entity, because that really isn't how I feel. I am trying to put forward my personal thoughts as honestly and clearly as I can.
This isn't an "iQuit" post either, so don't uncork that champagne just yet! If anything I am probably more interested in Eve now than at any time this year (not that I have been unable to play much, but I don't really want to go in to that - suffice to say it has nothing to do with ingame events).
Change is always interesting and challenging, and I am looking forward to it.
/me braces for smackfest impact.

Irony overload?
How dare you! We more than any other have had direct influence on this war. We decced Goons many times, forcing them to get better at PVP, and ultimately become nearly on par with us, and finally able to defeat Kenzoku.

Kenzoku may have lost their war, but they have won their FREEDOM.
