Originally by: Gobbins Props for bringing some changes to 0.0 - but I have a :serious: question about the arrogance gimmick.
It is not arrogance, it is indifference.
Originally by: Gobbins Did you guys not see how badly this worked for you in the last couple years? You just give motivation to other players to log in and stab you, while alienating allies.
We are not organisationally arrogant, if that is what you are implying. We (most of us,) project an indifferent attitude towards forums, local and, to some extent teamspeak. To those outside looking in, it is easy to mistake a sense of urgency for arrogance.
Originally by: Gobbins And please dont reply "it is what we want, bring it eve" because clearly this isnt 2005 and right now you do not need more enemies.
And yet I am going to point it out anyway. EvE is a game. Games are about having fun. If our idea of fun involves blowing up and being blow up, then we will gracefully accept our role as "hostiles." It is not like we really hate specific players. I have great respect for my competitors. But if I can get a few more wins and losses because someone really hates me, then so be it.
Originally by: Gobbins The cultural and ingame victories of alliances like goons and atlas clearly showed that the laid back / self ironic style is alot more functional to an alliance yet you insist with the terrible internet tough guy shenanigangs - why?
You just said 'culture,' 'ingame victories' and 'SA-rejects' in the same sentence. Sorry man. The so-called laid-back style is not one I associate with that particular brand.
What you and others percieve as arrogance, elitism or a self-ironic laidback style, depend entirely on your perspective. Inside ours (and indeed any alliance,) you are bound to find examples of all the best and worst of human behaviour.
Back on topic...
IT alliance, PL and SoT have delivered dozens of large scale fights for their members. The three entities have whacked eachother on the hard on the head. Hundreds if not thousands of ships have been reduced to insurance claims. Everyone is forced to reconsider years of habitual doctrins.
Hence the title. Nothing new from the frontlines... yet.
(The campaign for real truth. I speak for myself. this is my main.)
