To the OP: Thank you for being a sane, rational individual trying to understand the mechanics of Alliance political maneuvering in Eve Online.
As many other people have said, the answer to "What's Happened?" is the same sad story that seems to exist in Geminate since capsuleers have lived there. I've started likening war in Geminate to the infamous "land war in Asia".
To the replies the very "internet spaceships is srs bsnss" replies, talking about "propoganda" and "spies" and such...
BAH!!! Look, it's a game. It's a fun game, war. And I'm fighting on "my" side because I like to see things blow up. Sometimes it's enemies, sometimes it's me. Y'know what? I still enjoy it. Moon goo doesn't enter into my equations. I've got money from other means, because wars are good for the economy. Holding space? Yeah, not my concern. Feeding "propoganda" to the enemy?
Look, I'm part of the "enemy". And I don't give one flying rat's ass about what you lot are posting in CAOD. What I care about is getting in my ship, hitting space, and getting into fights. Whether it's an organized CTA, or just farting around and bleeding you out one ship at a time... what you say here on CAOD simply DOES NOT MATTER.
What I've seen here is someone that thinks he or his corp could be getting the shaft, and trying to get an answer. Because, y'know, leadership is always forthcoming. When asked directly. And certainly they wouldn't be doing something like what he is suggesting. (Despite it being the norm for anyone holding space in Geminate for a loooong time.) He's looking at it from a grunt's perspective. What benefit is he getting out of this? What benefit is his corp and alliance getting out of this? Seriously, if leadership is just going to herd you together to throw you at the enemy with no chance of victory, you should ask these kinds of questions.
I'm a simple man. I like cheap things... gunpowder, dynamite, gasoline. I like things to go boom. So I'm pretty much covered no matter where I go, or why I might be there. But it's the people you're flying with that make it worthwhile. I think maybe people that ban you from posting on the forum, and get ****ed off about a question they could have answered before you got to the forums, might not be a great fit for you.
Feel free to say hey if you decide to bail. Of course, odds are you wouldn't get in during wartime (well, the spies point at least has some validity) but there's all kinds of people out there.
Also... moo.
(Confirming this may **** off Bobby Atlas. But, y'know, I have a mind. And don't really care, as long as he still gets me fights.)
