That will be epic some day because fight our own friends will be a hell of a real challenge, witch is completely different from what 319 is today ( a total joke)

Oh, the doomsdays on the station gaming carriers. So good.

So you don't bring overwhelming odds from nearby systems the minute one of your ships dips into armor?

Don't answer.

Long post

Now -A- for example, propaganda or not, consistently says how much better they are, how much they will beat us, how hard they are going to kick our asses. Also, they try their hardest to call everyone else pets, when they unironically and objectively do have pets.

From that point on, we basically had no mercy. ... You should have seen DHD's smug when he had 4 fights in one day in 319, essentially drakespamming and dropping dreads on anyone that undocked. It takes a special kind of ****** ... to bring that kind of reaction out of a fun-loving alliance (not that he didn't have fun doing it).

So, back to what I said at the outset: someone said meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaan things about TEST, and their tender sensitive hearts just couldn't take that, and they cried and flailed around like angry toddlers, and then took a region in a manner so cowardly that the chief opposition to a long-time deployment of this strategy is going to be their own member's latent bloodlust.

Well, gotta have someone like that in a game, but can you just be upfront about it? Be as pathetic as you are without laying all this bullshit on everyone about it. It would at least be nice if your own members understood what was going on, and wouldn't dumbly pout about never having to lose their shields in this war :-(

'Fun-loving alliance', *spit*.

So basically what you are saying is that if -A- didn't get involved in this then TEST would have never ever called for GSF help and would have accepted whatever defeat that might come? As if TEST had absolutely no interest in taking Delve and the surrounding regions by whatever means necessary?

I will concede that -A- involvement was a real sweetener when convincing the GSF to get involved, but sooner or later they would get involved anyway.


I won't get into a discussion about the merit of -A- involvement in this because my alliance's diplomat already hates me as it is. But don't expect people to believe that you only wanted goodfights and were only going to give as good as you got. You wanted to take everything the minute you saw the opportunity.





Come to think of, everyone knows that. I have no idea why i am stating the obvious here. I must be more bored than i initiatlly thought =)

I think a nice war between TEST and Goonswarm would really spice these forums up.

You have to admit, it would be pretty awesome. When I first saw you guys (TEST) in 2010 buzzing around Orvole/Osmoden/PF.
I even thought at that time... wouldn't it be cool if a new Goonswarm started up and challenged the old Goonswarm?

But I think the Goons made a very prudent early decision to "friend up" with you guys as to avoid such a catastrophe.

Now, of course I don't follow politics enough to know all the ins and outs of how your friendships formed, but that was just kinda what I gathered at the time.

All in all, I always thought Dreddit was very similar to the Goons in structure, but quite different on an individual pilot level. The Dreddit guys I have encountered were always pretty civil and relatively mature.

Blah, blah, blah.

Speaking of dumpster. Why hasn't this thread been moved to COAD already?

It wasn't a strategic decision to "friend up" - we're more alike in terms of alliance culture and identity than any other alliances in EVE. We're natural friends, but its a lot like sibling friendship - lots of friendly mocking, competition, etc, but at the end of the day we will always have each other's backs no matter what. Also, you'd be *very surprised* how mature goons can be and how immature TEST can be. Our forums are polar opposites.

I think fleet warfare between our two alliances will certainly happen someday, and I guarantee we'll have more thunderdomes and goodfites between us. But as for actual warfare, trying to conquer each other's space and crush each other? I don't see that happening ever, to be honest.

So the fight is over in Delve now?

Delve mostly. Now we're burning the space south and east of it.

I think some spunky chaps are holding onto their lone station system or something.

Hey bro, how does it feel to be a pet of a pet?

Gogela, you should be ashamed of yourself. Look at the mess you've started.
