G are a lot better these days tbh Lorth. I used to feel the same about them, as can be read in my blog entry about G, but these days I know they take more risks and are more aggressive.

However, I do firmly believe that G and IRON together are so handicapped by IRON that their overall ability to fight (as G do when they are on their own or in a significant majority) is limited. That's why you see the very cautious approach and the creation of such huge gangs largely populated by a core of G battleships (with a sprinkling of IRON BS) and twelvemillionandone IRON support craft (with several G cov-ops and interceptors).

Fair enough, as I said I havn't been able to fight G in a long time.

I'll add my IRON opinion here though.

I feel personally betrayed by many of the people in IRON. Mostly due to the gong show that was the NSA vs BOB war. While I know they have tried to adopt a new structure that keeps the same thing from happening again, I still see the same faces and the same ideals, and action being taken by them. Personally I feel that the only thing that has kept them alive this long is thier close relation with G, who have come to thier resue more then a few times. (note let's leave dead dogs in the ground here, just agree that your not changing my opinion, and I'm not going to change yours)

Not withstanding, is the propaganda that I see from time to time coming from IRON. Much like PA who claim again and again that they won the GNW, IRON in thier own way make claims that are utter non-sence. I won't be specific here, so as not to derail the threat. But I personally believe that at times they make a mockery of themselves, by posting outragous claims on the forums.

Not to mention that they seem to be de-evolving into more and more of a carebear allience. It would seem that they have no PVP leadership at all. More so, I've seen personally on several occastions IRON pull a "Xetic." Or better said, moves and actions that scream 'mining allience.' Its not to say that IRON doesn't have some good PVP'rs, I'm sure they do. But the ratio of miner to fighter is very much biased towards the miners, and getting worse. IMO, I personally don't believe that IRON is capable of fighting a war against almost anyone solo.

Sorry if you've taken this as smack. Perhaps it is. Though, I've tried my best to say I don't like you, in as civil a manner as possible.
