Originally by: Quartex Edited by: Quartex on 17/06/2009 14:01:11 tl;dr summary of my last 3 years in game...
>BoB won a couple of PVP tournaments and they were very good back then. Play the vid of them finally being beaten by Star Fraction to "feel" the relief that it was possible to best them! >They used their influence and diplomacy to encourage people like MC and pets to project power against perceived threats.. >They attracted the best from the Alliances they humbled >Delve 1 was probably the high watermark of BoB power and effectiveness when, after collapsing back to Delve they "lasted" the siege of NOL/PR >But then they failed to innovate, they didn't keep up with game mechanics and proved very beatable on their well advertised Max campaign. >One button Hargoth pulled out the rug but old BoB would still have prevailed .. people thought on these forums that they still would. >Something special had been born in their failed assault on the NC homelands in the north and in the scramble for Delve, post Hargoth, this matured with Goons/PL and NC having a shared goal and exhibiting remarkable co-operation to oust what had become Kenzoku. >Truly, Sir Molle motivated his enemies as much as his own and the passion to prevail, looking back, was un-stoppable. Whether it was the accusations of CCP favouritism (leaked emails), cheating (T20/T2 BPO's), or tick tock postings on these Forums, I have never seen a MMOG dominated by such a dislike for a Clan. >I am looking forward to a proper assessment (From someone in Kenny) of what kept Kenny from taking the initiative more than once..seemingly allowing -AAA- to take centre stage in terms of numbers and aggression. I suspect their leadership became dulled, they certainly seemed leaderless a lot of the time compared to an admirable level of energetic/offensive FC work on our side.
>Well, Kenny still have 2517 in Alliance and 15 Corps... many aren't logging in, but when they do and providing there is a leadership prepared to lead they may be back in some form. Perhaps some WH action, or a high profile domination of Factional Warfare to rebuild confidence? All those Titans need a home somewhere.
>I am incredibly pleased we have prevailed but more than that, thanks to BoB/GBC for some brilliant gaming times. You have made this game the fun to play it's been, giving me the reason to log on each day.... don't hang up your pink hats just yet.... see you in space!
Best post of the thread.
It's not over as long as like minded people make plans and execute them together. But I really am gratefull for the 2+ years of reason to play that the goons and co. gave me.
I do look forward to what happens next.
Thanks again to the entire eve community for the good times and the bad. Eve truely is the most dynamic and player content driven game ever, thanks CCP. ***********************************************

I really am fapping over how much fun this is going to be. We literally can't lose.
Our space has no jammers. No bridges. It's completely open much like shiva used to be, if you remember that far back.
The enemy can only fail because no one is betting that we can win.
This is an AWESOME PLACE TO BE
We will live, or die, by the sword, and goddamn it's giving me tingles.
BRING IT OOOOOOOOON!
Quotin this.

PS: I'd say his 20% is a better aproximation than the numbers i've seen given by the coalition of PL/Goons/NC.
Are you for real? He is saying that 80% of EVE is attacking Kenny.
No.. i said that much of the game are red to kenny. Not that they are specifically attacking them. But hey feel free to go into the petty numbers "how many pets each group has" debate
Anyway: here's to hoping 0.0 politics becomes more interesting (NAPfests are no longer needed on such a scale people!!!!!!)

I prefer your made up numbers to my petty numbers. At this point, I would love to list Kenny's allies, and quote Molle chest beating about having 1400 blue in local, but cba.

Good point, whether kengoku (anime is cartoons) got beat because of numbers, or game mechanics, or karma, the fact is, they got beat and are going back to empire. What happens next nobody knows, but one thing is for sure, they lost the war. |

For all of those pointing there finger at haargoth and his alliance disbanding button.
I'd like to point out that essentially the mechanics of the game make it virtually impossible to break a system containing multiple titans under a cyno jammer, this is sadly a result of poor design and not "player genius".
Until such a time that it becomes realistically possible to break a titaned-up system with a cyno jammer using conventional means, it is my opinion that unconventional strategies such as turning an enemy director to your cause are an entirely valid way of accomplishing this.
In addition to that, regardless of what haargoth did, nobody can honestly claim that BoB was doing well even before that fateful day, constant mistreating of pets (and indeed sneering at "pubbies") left them with few friends and fewer still that were capable of assisting them in their endeavours.
If you think that BoB "lost the war" due to anything other than it's own overconfidence and arrogance, and the sheer and unimaginable persistance of the goonies, you are severely deluded. |

Nice rationalization.
But can you also explain the difference betwen using a spy to kill a titan deemed almost invulnerable by previous game-mechanics and using a director to disband an alliance to bypass broken sov-mechanics? Or is it one of those things that is only lame when you are on the receiving end of it, or another case of "hey they did it first"?

Let's be honest here. If a goon director walked up to Molle and proposed to hit the magic disband button, do you honestly think he'd say no?
Don't be ridiculous. He'd let go of all his bodily excretions in his pants in a nanosecond.
Now, I'm not fully in the know of who or what, but from what I have been able to glean, this wouldn't even have happened had the bobbits not been asshats to haarg to begin with. What goes around...
Regardless, one could spend days entirely pointing fingers left and right at all kinds of behaviour bordering on the "abuse" of game mechanics on both sides.
I move that this is irrelevant, since both sides employed these tactics, and in the case of the magic disband buttons the option was available to both sides. It's just that BoB did not manage to turn a Goon director before it happened to them, and believe me, if they could have... they most certainly would have.

and it was TOTALLY okay for BoB to use spies in goonswarm to offline their towers? if bob had the chance they would have done the same, just admit it crybabies...

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.
Capt Spock. North Star Networks oh wait no Reikoku... right as the war started against the PA... Metagaming? Jeez...

Just an aside. At the time of the disbanding the only person with full director roles in GoonFleet (the executor corporation of GoonSwarm) was Darius (the CEO) and his alts. I'm pretty sure zapawork, our current CEO, is setup similarly.
GoonFleet directors don't have full director rights. We also don't have the shell/holding corp with member corp CEO alts in it like many other alliances do, and thus are not vulnerable to the method Haargoth used to take down BoB.

And thus you have outsmarted and outplayed them.
