Oh and I forgot something. All the caldari leadership are morons.

Back in NSE we were trying to develop a working relationship with Caldari militia in order to defeat some of our enemies who happened to be in gallente faction wars. The Caldari leadership we talked to was indecisive, ineffective, and couldn't even keep track of what their own corpies were doing.

We had an ordeal with Templis who we were blue with. Cory Braum was always confused as to why his corpies were always AWOXing us. Eventually after one of the Caldari fleets that attacked us contained a substantial number of Templis, we just reset them and started killing them on sight.

The hilarity culminated when we got blue standings with Souless Brutor's group, who AWOXed us approximately 18 hours later while we were defending a POCO.

The best part is that we lost a raven who refused to broadcast for reps and killed your armor battleship fleet. Too bad are34's loki was hidden from my overview by the blue standings or we'd have gotten even more awesome kills.

To the caldari: If you actually want to start winning, you should actually make some friends who you won't AWOX. Gallente militia seem to be able to do this, why can't you guys? Do you like not having friends?

LOL. You weren't blue to SWEAR, and we warned you they wouldn't ever be blue to you. Facts are every time a militia blob fought us it had a fair portion of your guys shooting at us.

Besides you couldn't exactly guarantee your buddies wouldn't shoot us either.

SWEAR didn't wipe us out either actually, our alliance's 'Epic AFK Leadership' did because someone who never actually logged into the game got angry that we were growing (she wanted us to do nothing but build dreads or something) and started a conspiracy to retake control of the alliance that caused epic drama and an eventual failcascade.

point is: why to take those systems?

only reason is roleplay reason, it did not work before so CCP fixed FW on way that Caldari has role play reason and gallente has lp/isk reason, so FW is working really fine !

Current fight is that caldari has to prevent isk farmers without rewards and if you manage to break gallente tier and get better for caldari you may get farmers on your side, but that is really effort job and you get practically nothing for yourself.

So best way to fight this war is to join gallente with alts and farm isk. Your main can do what ever you like.

That would be fine and dandy if everyone cared about Sov War and doing the PVE grind that goes along with it.. FW is now the same basic mentality that goes with null sec Sov war. Hey guys lets all go shoot at structures in hopes of getting PVP. In FW it's just hey guys lets go orbit some buttons... This is a system that forces you to do PVE in order to hopefully get PVP by orbiting buttons for hours.

Many of us are not interested in that, because the old FW was more about PVP first and PVE second. Many of us, especially the old guard, much of whom have left, were in FW just for the PVP and to get away from the grinds associated with Sov War that was found in null sec.

It was never about wining or losing for anything more than bragging rights. It was about going out and getting fights, blowing up ships which hopefully weren't your own. This was the mealiness fun that attracted many of us for several years now.

Do you not see how the current system might turn a lot of people off that are not interested in Sov War?

I know, CCP really were biased against Caldari when timezones outside of the 2hr downtime window were able to affect sov.

And then, CCP allowed players attacking in Caldari plexes to be able to lock other players, and toned down the omgwtfbbq missile spam and made all plexes have the same easy rat spawns so they could pvp.

And as a result - the Caldari gave up because of the obvious Gallente bias. Except, for the second day in a row Caldari have netted more VP.

Reality - you should look into it sometime.

You know, when I see in these forums people saying things like "caldari have moved on" or "Caldari are not bothering anymore" it pisses me off, because it-¦s a huge disrespect to those Caldari that ARE fighting all over the map.

I guess they haven-¦t gotten the memo.

Holy sheet I wanna be a Caldari forum alt. This looks like a blast!

Jesus plays for Gal Mil as well and if they are losing fleet fights he smites Caldari pilots with fire and brimstone.
Once Japensese players were making a push into Gal Mil territory so Jesus sent tsunamis and earthquakes to stop them.


CCP also does downtime patches that offlines Caldari Militias ships passive mods so their tanks and damage is horrible.
CCP gave GalMil ships XM radio and free HBO so they have something to do while they sit on the titan.

Chuck Norris and Mr. T fly for GalMil. Both have personal doomsday weapons that they can put on any ship, the Roundhouse kick and Pity the fool. Mr. T only flies ships that are shaped like T's, so usually the Thorax.
