You don't really know what you are talking about, do you?
These coalitions don't have perma blues. It's temporarily every time. And a few days after we are happily shooting each other again.

you soooo don't get the issue...

I do, I was referring to the poster above me.

no, you dont.
there's functionally no difference between groups that shoot each other normally but team up whenever it matters and groups that are perma blue.
in both cases they will be blue in any fight with a 3rd party so the distinction youre making doesnt exist.

The large coalitions that are forming amongst wormholes is mostly due to ego and carebearing, people unwilling to put their ISK on the line for a fair fight (or trusting the other group to blob them). You are all essentially guilty of stirring the bucket of sh** in one way or another.

Scratch your blue lists, honour a gentleman's agreement in WH to limit yourselfeves to X pilots for a takedown/invasion and have some fun. You would all have to agree to such guidlines ofc, perhaps even as a community "police" those who break said agreement. Write up threads for active invasions on the forums, chat to each other, no reason why there cannot be mutual respect between warring groups. This is essentially the same principals of RvB.

You will be doing yourselves and wormhole space a favour, no longer will you have to worry about being swarmed and you might even get some "good fights". Who cares if you lose a fleet, we are all filthy rich and most of us have more money that we could ever spend on PVP. Of course those who are in it for the money would not be all too fond of this proposal, but honestly speaking, they are whats killing the community and their time will come...

People don't just become blues on a whim, they do it because they have a mutual respect for each other as a result of diplomatic interaction.

*tips hat* Honestly AHARM are not my favourite group, their monopolisation of the C6 wormholes makes me sad, but at least they sit on the fence in this issue.

in this case I have to say that you are talking our your arse.

Or, y'know, it could be that mutual respect is forming between groups as they get to know one another. My alliance recently flew on a large op with a former "bitter enemy" alliance. Come to find out, they were far from the evil raiders hell-bent on petty rage and griefing. They were actually a great bunch of guys with a good sense of humour, and I'd be happy to fly with them again. I'd be just as happy to shoot them again, and I know they would understand it's not personal; we could go hang out afterward, poke fun at each other, and have a good laugh at it all.

I believe i have solved this problem. I just spend the last 3 hours setting blue everyone who lives in WHs.. (apart from Rengas who is -10 untill that Etana dies).

Don't worry I have Aegis.

This is not how a perceive things at all. Both when it comes to us and the people we have frequent interaction with we do not give any fucks about who was once blue when we enter e 3-way , we might help any side or just go for the surprise buttseks depending on what we think will give the most enjoyment at the time. I know this is not the case for all corps though and some people just don't know what a fun fight is and just care about a green killboard. Far to many times have we all seen "notable" wormhole corps run away screaming like 14 year old girls when they have even numbers just to come back with 7 guardians and 4 Bhaals to counter our 10 man fleet.

All in all it is a sandbox though and even if my word really should be law funnily enough it isn't
You may play the game any way you choose but that doesn't stop me from calling you a flippin ****** and idiot both behind your back and to you face.

Since the OP's example was Polarized, I feel I should let him and the community reading this know that there was a recent shift in the command structure of the alliance, and that dealings between others and the alliance will be handled differently.

Preferably with more pew.

Edit: Left out a word.

My 2 isks:
People guarding their home are:
1. Motivated
2. Usually have more caps then attackers
3. Can choose the time of battle (preferably to be maximum pain in the butt for the attacker) like these guys did: http://dontshootx.com/killboard/?a=kill_related&kll_id=15299
4. Can phone in extra people (I think we all have "sleeping capitals" in our systems)
5. Can change fleet doctrine, if having prepared ships (attackers are limited to what they've brought)
6. Can buttphone

The attackers
1. have to be ready for non-friendly hole any time of day
2. Have to be ready to fight any time of day and night
3. Can butthpone for more, if found themselves surprisingly outnumbered
And so on.

Having this in mind, one corporation/alliance can not evict another of similar size and activity/skill on its own. I take it for granted. So a need arise for extra hands. The question is what is seen as "needed numbers" - different sides of conflict have different understandings for that: attackers understand they need more then defenders have, defenders usually see it unfair.

So it goes: one side brings extra depending on what they see fit for the task. The other one starts buttphoning "they've brought more then we have! HALP!" and there it goes... Not that I like that, but history does not ask.

Know the feeling. We have 2-3 logis and maybe 6 DPS, and people run home and come back with 6-10 DPS, 4 logis, a Falcon and an ECM Tengu. Like that's going to result in a 'Good Fight' for either side.

The whole idea that you think you bring fair fights is already wrong, because thats just your oppinion. And your oppinion is based on you wanting to put the GF in local after you killed someone else his ship.

Hardly. If they'd brought those 10 DPS, and 3 logis, and just one ECM boat we'd have tried it on, even outnumbered. If they were in T3s to our T1&T2s and so out-ISKed us by a ton, we'd still have tried it on. But we're not going to try and fight against four logis and two ECM boats because we know for a certainty that they'll break our logo chain and there's no way we'd be able to break the rr from three logis (primarying the 4th, of course). If we'd had a jamming or specialised nueter with us, maybe, but not with just DPS.

We're not afraid to lose, but we're damned if we're going to accept a fight that's a foregone conclusion in which we won't just lose, but won't be able to do a damned thing while we get killed. You see, we don't care if a fight's not fair and against us, but we do want to avoid simply throwing a pile of ISK and a heap of time (getting new ships, getting pilots back into the hole, etc.) down the toilet.
