After an almost two year absence from EVE, I'm back..... and completely lost.
When I was last actively playing BOB/GBC had just lost Delve, smack was being talked on CAOD and nullsec was reorganizing to as much of an extent as it ever does.
Now I come back and I don't even recognize many of the Alliances and Corps now holding sov, CAOD seems to have been removed, and most of my old friends either don't play anymore or went high-sec carebear.
Anyone willing to give me the Cole's (Cliff) Notes on WTF has been going on for the last while? And is there something that replaced CAOD? I've tried searching and aside from the fact that this game still contains goons and russians and supposedly 4 major power blocs, I still have no idea what's going on. |

A lot has happened, too much for me to write, and I'm too lazy to copy/paste someone elses already written down history lecture, but as for CAOD, read this excellent piece: http://themittani.com/features/rise-and-fall-caod |

That's a good starting point, thanks.
If there are a lot of people looking for this info and I manage to get some decent post; I'll edit the OP and make it a resource thread. |

I always thought CAOD died because all the interesting posters were told they couldn't post there any more and left the game (rather than be told what to do by some twerp). --- GÇ£If you think this Universe is bad, you should see some of the others.GÇ¥ GÇò Philip K. **** |

While it doesn't give specifics, the changes in 0.0 sov can be observed here. You can see the migration of Goons, rise of TEST, and other events. |

I'm sure what passed for an 'interesting post' there being ignorant and abusive had nothing to do with it. "The nice thing about quotes is that they give us a nodding acquaintance with the originator which is often socially impressive." ~Kenneth Williams |

Yay ignorance ... and apparently missed the last few excellent expansions. To carve a successful niche for yourself in EVE you need to be able to out sell, out produce, out fight,-á out run, or out wit your competitors. If you can do none of the above, your only option is to complain on the forums that somehow you are at a disadvantage using the exact same tool set-áas the rest of the player base. |

Null sec is not that static or boring as many players tend to say.

First IT died, then NC died, then CAOD died, now you have 4 powerblocs.
CFC or really NC reloaded if you think about it, Goons being the major alliance of the powerbloc HBC,.. Test being the major alliance of the powerbloc and blue to Goons Nulli & co Solar, who are currently attacking "Whores in Space" with jump freighters
0.0 is still terrible, no one wants to fight because its time consuming and boring, im starting to get the feeling the sov warfare is perfect for people with no lives and can motivate themselves in shooting structures.
If your only interest in this game is sov warfare and all the drama involved you probably should quit and return in 2 years when CCP 'consider' releasing an expansion that doesnt involve making things pretty. |

Let's see . . . if someone is a liar, lies all the time, would rather tell a lie than the truth even when the truth is easier, and I call him a liar, that makes me prejudiced, or a bigot? How odd. I didn't think it worked that way.

No, what makes you a prejudiced bigot is the fact that you call someone a liar based on unrelated actions; that you call statements nonsense without looking at the source of those statements because you presume that they come from the person you have little reason to call a liar to begin with; and that you think actions have any connection on the truthfulness of statements to the point where you can make any kind of generalisation or sweeping statement like that.
The truth is the truth, even when said by a supposed liar. The truth is still the truth, even if the supposed liar has nothing to do with said truth. Unfortunately, the truth in this case is that you're the liar by making these unsupported claims about people and what they say.
It's this lie, based on clumsily and unreasonably applied prejudices that have no relation to the initial claim, that makes you a bigot. You really should pull your head out and stop being one GÇö it will do you no end of good.
Source critique may be hard, but it's not this hard, so you have pretty much no excuse (and I'm not using that word in any remotely positive way here) other than bigotry for your appalling commentary failure. Vote Malcanis for CSM8. |

A lie is a lie. I believe that you are acting as what is know as an 'apologist'.

You dismissed something James 315 wrote out of hand on the basis that if The Mittani says something that is true, it immediately becomes false. Can you really not see the nonsensical and thoroughly irrational stance this represents? Do you really not see the bigotry in it? Are you really that incapable of realising the illogical silliness your prejudices create? Vote Malcanis for CSM8. |
