Heh, let the lies and propaganda begin...

Too late, your masters beat us to it. Why are the people who are being deceived always the ones who cry the loudest that they are the only ones "in the know"?

Remember the old joke about the guy on his roof in a flood? A canoe comes by, and offers to help the guy, and he responds, "no, no, God will protect me". Then another canoe comes by, same thing happens. Then a motorboat comes by, same thing. The guy drowns, and when he gets to heaven, he asks God, "Why didn't you protect me?" and God says, "What are you talking about, I sent two canoes and a motorboat?"

Use the evidence of your own senses, when was the last time an op was called for the benefit of sysK, that didn't entail convoying a freighter, or protecting someone elses assets.

Man, remember a few weeks ago when we killed like 35 VSpecial-K and Linguini Romani caps? Now that was a funny joke.

Well done for getting the upper hand against an alliance 1/3 your size! A few weeks you say? Well done sir!

All the same, they sound like a decent bunch of comedy lads enjoying a computer game. Reading the posts by people like you, Mittens and Darius in this thread is just cringeworthy though.

Its my fault really. I asked some goons to come here and show us how to conduct a proper forum war. So I understand the first lesson is to poor mouth your own team, claim you are the underdog and the big evil opponent just isn't willing to commit to honorable "mono a mono battles". I appreciate the irony. WhatÆs lesson number two?

That's pretty much all you can learn by rote. Everything else is down to the quality of your posting mojo. Flinx, for example, is the perfect example of someone who knows all the formulaic gambits, can churn them out but manages to miss out that certain "je ne sais quoi" that makes a good poster.

It's a mistake to think that there can be only one winning CAOD strategy though. Goons and Pandemic Luncheon prefer the 'meme based' approach you refer to above. But if you look at some of the finest CAOD contributors there are many other more innovative ways to 'win'.

Butter Dog, for example, likes to use a 'bait and switch' approach to trap his opponents in a tangled web of their own arguments. Faekurias however just confuses himself and his attacker to such an extent that even if you win in a post-off you can't help feeling that you've been made a fool of.

I just use my Cambridge university education to belittle people and make up for my R/L inadequacy.

Many people say that in sys-k we never do a op for ourself, but only for helping others, it's somewhat true.

You should understand now why i spend so much time having sys-k helping others on whatever they need, even when is boring, even when is suicidal or so, the day that we needed help we had people ready and eager to help us, even at bad timezones and doing boring things for helping us.

This is what we spent our last year of effort on, building up the trust from our allieds and making new friends.

Thanks for giving us a chance for having the corp in sys-k get even more close togheter and showing to us a nice 217 people in fleet of peak

PS: and now all sys-k get ready to start escort my obelisk again to jita!
