First we have to deal with the fact that we¦re fighting superior numbers, then dominion is released and we have to fight extreme lag, and now we have to fight ccp too?

LOL superior numbers? LOFL

consider that the nc alliances have a combined player base of 14k people and the consider that the alliances facing you have maybe half that you shouldnt mention numbers

Dear Tomcat,

I have been following you and your alliance's reaction to the current state of affairs of this game and i must admit you are, well, doing it wrong. You are losing this war and attempting to use CCP as a scape goat for your inadequacies.

1.) No ship has ever died to lag. Lag inhibits a pilots ability and doesn't give the pilot the chance to fight or defend depending of the severity of the lag. Your ships die because other peoples spaceships violenced your boat. We are all aware of the current strains on the servers and how it effects combat. Its time to adapt. Crying about something you don't like wont fix anything. Find away around it.

2.) The loss of a single station system should not be a death nail for an alliance but from what i can tell of your member base reactions, this appears to be true. You have to get control of your troops and bring them back to reality. Your morale is low and your efforts have been sub par. Its time to shake things up and step it up a notch. Your defeatist attitude will do nothing but quicken your loss even though you are no where near that point for a competent space holding alliance.

3.) The Coalition and its parts have spent the last several years bullying smaller entities and dictating who holds space and who does not. Your tactics are no longer gonna work. The loss of the aoe DD and dogpileing 3/4 of eve into one system is gone. The great war is over and its now the time of regional conflicts. You need to adapt or you will lose it all. It might be a good idea to study your enemy's who are being successful atm and pick up some of their strategies. If it works for them it should also work for you.

4.) Adapt and survive.

5.) The arrogance of the NC leadership in the past and present will be its death nail. Phreeze's rants about atlas and bobby has turned a 2 week roadtrip into something more and i believe it will continue to grow into something more. The "not 1 inch" and insulting atlas and friends member base is a very good way to boost our morale. Its greatly helped our participation while decreasing yours. Now is a good time to start being humble and ask for leniency because your time as a super power is coming to an end.

6.) Then NC has always used "meatshield" alliance to protect the holdings of Razor and MM. I don't think you should let yourselves be used in this way. The smaller members of the NC who know they will be sacrificed for safety of the "old guard" should get out of the way. You do not need to suffer the sins of the father for you will be cast aside with nothing to gain from your sacrifice and effort.

The days of the NC being a super power in eve are gone. There are too many people you have wronged in the past that are willing to step up and fight you tooth and nail. Pure blind and geminite are being burned and its only a matter of time till the rest fall. Adapt and put up a fight or die a quick death. Its your choice.
