HBC seems to be coming along nicely. Or is that -A- are still full of crap?

Strategic victory for test.

Yes the fact that A and Allies didn't fly blindly with lesser numbers into the Test blob proves how **** we are at EvE.

please don't complain about getting "blobbed" when -A- blobbed up on PL

For the moment, Test is not winning the war of attrition thats for sure.

I wasn't actually, it's smart of PL not to undock or fight a larger -A- blob, just as it's smart of -A- not to fight an even larger blob.

Seriously, I accept blobing as part of the game, but sometimes people think that having a larger blob entitles them to having the enemy fly blindly into there superior numbers to pay honor to them being able to bring more stuff.

Your leaders are lying to you. Yeah you get more kills but look at the losses and compare the isk lost. Are you honestly that blind?

Well I just participated in several fleets today killing SBU's every fleet I have been in Test has refused to fight. Test simply cannot defend against repeated incursions into there space. Sure they can blob togeather 1,400 people for 1 night, but for the rest of the time they can't defend.

Remember the Time Zone difference. I'm not saying is an excuse or anything of that nature, but prime Euro can be 8 hours ahead of US, so when you're all on, people are at work, waking up etc. and when its our prime, you guys have to alarm clock to actually fight.

The voice is and dialog is comical and outrageous, is that realy the or a leader of AAA or instead a test comedian.

Your leaders are lying to you.

For the moment, Test is not winning the war of attrition thats for sure.

So what you're saying is that you let TEST take most of your space as a tactical maneuver so that you could win the war of attrition as they try to take your last couple of systems?

The didn't take a single En Garde system, a single -A- system, or a single Red Overlord system.

Seriously, does know one know the difference between helping defend someone, and defending your own home space.

The SoCo is more of a hybrid mix than you think. I thank you for being Civil on this matter as well. En Garde is made up of mostly American and Canadian Pilots, with Red Alliance and Overlord being mostly European / Eastern European. -A- is in the middle leaning Russian.

This gives the SoCo to be able to field fleets during all hours, rather than bring an ass load of pilots for a set amount of time. This gives SoCo the advantage of striking repeatedly and constantly, but also hurts numbers.

It's been my understanding that the majority of -A- proper is Euro/Russia TZ, and thus the need for alarm clocking to fight in US TZ. Interesting look at the general overview of -A- alliance.


The question I have to you (if you desire to continue a civil discussion) is, how does -A- feel about their so called membership in "SoCo" and their loss of space? From what I've read, -A- didn't really care about "SoCo" and the mantle of leadership was thrust upon them by the likes of Nulli and crew.

When Test/HBC/CFC took D/Q/PB there wasn't much of a threat from -A- and it was touted that its because -A- was afraid of CFC/Goons, and the proof to this point was when after goons/the majority of the CFC went back up north, -A- started logging in and fighting. I then heard that it was more so because -A- didn't give a **** about D/Q/PB and wasn't willing to dedicate their ships to such an engagement when they knew they'd get blobbed. Again an understandable possition.

defend Red Alliance.

En Garde is literally so low on the pet totem pole it's not worth the fuel cost to try and take any systems they might actually have.

First lets take a look at the CFC, a large Coalition that's members are separate Alliances with there own Space and Borders. Such as Razor Bordering Goonswarm and FA Bordering Executive Outcomes and Goonswarm.

In the Southern Coalition, things are very intertwined space wise, En Garde's space exists surrounded by Triple A space and En Garde pilots frequently interact and do things with -A- pilots. Red Alliance lives in Overlord and -A- Space as well. Overlord borders -A-. Your much more likely to find SoCo pilots working together and talking more often than say in the CFC as they all stick to their own space.

Look, another Goon grunt who has no bloody Idea what there talking about.

En Garde exists in -A- space, close to the front line, if you want to get into the heart of catch, you have to go through us.

But naw, looking at a sov map for 10 seconds is to much of a waste of time for such mighty people who are always so busy

Look, another Goon grunt who has no bloody Idea what there talking about.

That worked out very well, seeing as RA still hold their d/q/pb space
