Originally by: Jucrecia I'm seeing two sides to ED's perceived quality as an alliance. On the one hand, people are saying they're great, they pick themselves back up, they keep on fighting. The other side is saying they're worthless, don't know how to PvP properly, and are cheating idiots.
I'm noticing the people who are siding with or backing up ED haven't really seen the most recent version of Ethereal Dawn as they came to Curse, or if they have, were part of the bandwagon of alliances shuffling around with them still. I'm sure they've done some wild and brave things in the war in sov space, but the war is over, and they retreated to NPC 0.0 to regroup. Some alliances followed them for the ride.
I'm noticing the people who are calling ED worthless and incompetent are the people who have seen the most recent version of ED in Curse. And not just the people that fought against them either, but the people that flew with them. Take this following list for instance...
Kahora Catori Imperium. Volition Cult Ethereal Dawn Intrepid Crossing Sc0rched Earth White Core Alliance Modro Blackguard Coalition The Elders Alliance
This list was presented by Proxay in the original post as the people they were fighting, and all except Sc0rched Earth were actively working together, joint comms, joint intel, joint leadership, etc. Pay attention guys. We effectively lost. No we didn't lose stations or sov or any of the tangible in game mechanics you'd come across in sovereign space, but we lost in the idea that we tried to push Blade, Panda and PUNT out of the constellation in order to "secure" it, and were incapable of doing so. This "coalition" that existed between the entities listed above is more appropriately represented by a chicken with its head recently cut off.
Hats off to the alliances that fought it well and tried, but it has to be said that Ethereal Dawn contributed very little during their stay. I can say all this with certainty as I flew under their FC's and saw their gang compositions. They did not resemble an entity that gets back up and keeps on fighting (in any sanely competent fashion). Mizztres I have no quarrel with you or your alliance, you guys were great. But face it, we failed to do what we sought to in Curse. Hold your head up and acknowledge it, if only to yourself, and move on.
The conflict in Curse was fun, had its ups and downs, and Blade proved to be competent opponents. Something Ethereal Dawn has shown to be incapable of. Be it for lack of leadership, poor existing leadership, the better of the corporations leaving, I'm not sure.
Blade took the win, and we in Kahora respect their piloting. <3
I hate to break it to you but if someone comes in system that is not in your gay coalition it does not mean that they are there helping ED.
I think ED is a terrible alliance ive shot more of them than most of you have but the **** posting and making up numbers on your part makes your coalition even more terrible.
