One thing peeps seem to be missing out on is that this wasn't a roadtrip specifically aimed at iron.
When we first came up here we punked ourselves down in X-7o and simply shot everything (ask f-e, they complained we were killing them too much and were just there to help 5).
When we noticed the outpost looking stupidly undefended it was simply a case of "woot, have it lads".
Then when we saw that it was winding up Iron then all the more reason to stay and have a bit of fun :D
Sorry to all the alts who want to knock us off our perch, you'll need to come to delve and try it.

But BOB has been saying for a long time, as a matter of fact since this began that they would be leaving and this is only a temp thing. Anyone who has read the forums has seen this, so as an outsider, I think you realyl should believe that they are onl doing what they have said they would for the last few mounths
Don't make me find links, but I seem to remember several posts by BoB-members hinting that BoB might stay up there. I do not deny that they called this a roadtrip when they first headed out, however it seems to me that after the fairly easy takeover of JU- they decided to call it a bit more than a roadtrip, through several hints by BoB-members. Now I am aware of, that no official BoB-statement was made regarding the change of the "roadtrip", but I still got the impression that BoB decided to make more out of it than a roadtrip.
We've been calling it a roadtrip all the long. We spent a week or two screwing around with FE and PA and NBSI before deciding to try and take the outpost. When we succeeded, we figured we would stay a little while longer and see what kind of fights we could get out of it.
Please do notice that in every past invasion we have made an official announcement of it. The only announcement made here was the taking of the Outpost. You might notice that at no point did we contest ownership of Deklein in the map thread, which we have done in every previous invasion. At no point was this meant to be anything but an extended roadtrip.
Personally, I wish we had made it a full scale invasion. I want to stay and conquer the region, which I am sure we could do if we poured the entire alliance into it like we did with Fountain and Outer Ring and Delve. But, there are capital ships to be built, and that cannot be done while sieging a region. I'm sure we will be back soon enough.

Hi there fanboi.
Lag is a 2-way thing, which can be one big gamble, it can benefit either side.
However, when there is so much lag and each side calls a target which lasts for 10 mins, there is not much skill involved is there?
That is why lag generally benefits the biggest gang.

There were never any serious doubts (other then the little noobs who don't know much about the game) that ju- would be taken back when we decided it would be.
Tbh,t he people you think you got all riled up about the outpost being taken A. Shouldnt have been in Deklein in the first place and/or B. like I said, dont know much about whats goign on.
I had no issues with it being taken, since we werent even there. Neither did Herc probably.. lol.
Sounds like a boring road trip to me actualy.. lol.. camping in x-7 when the majority of the people you'd want to shoot down still arent even up north, stilldown south.Blah... and liek someone allerady said,y ou guys would have been gone (if you stuck with your original plan ) way befor we got back. MORE YAWN FTW..lol.

Firstly thank you to BoB for some good fights and the fun you've provided over the last week or so (I state "week or so" as alot of our forces got stuck down South while RMR deployment was ironed out after that most people had family commitments and were unable to have much game time untill 1st January 2006) it was just unfortunate timing.
Secondly I'd like to thank every member of G/IRON, RZR and residence of the North who were involved in the fighting. Whatever anyone says I beleive we're improving constantly and we can all hold our heads high.
I believe BoB did pre plan a withdrawal around about this time, as that's the way they work win or lose they pull out on the given day when they've briefed their troops before hand. And I also believe they did have resources to spare which they had left down in their home systems, it wasn't uncommon to see 150-200 man BoB fleets in the past.
There have been problems with the server wether it's with POS bugs or server lag, hopefully next time you visit these problems will have been sorted out and neither side will have reason to complain.
Thanks BoB! And well done G/IRON and friends some good fights had by all!
I look forward to next time 
Stupidity got us into this mess, and stupidity will get us out of it! |

I love all this brain vomit coming out blaming lag, like it doesn't effect everyone
Fighting heavily outnumbered is only possible through tactical manuvering, and excellent focus of fire. When a smaller fleet is lagged to hell, they are not able to do any of these things and then the greater numbers of the enemy fleet (even though they are lagged) are able to dominate the smaller one.
A perfect example is the fight in o-2. Two smaller fleets needed to link up with eachother in order to fight your huge blob which is between them. Fleet A jumped into the same system as the IRON Fleet planning to quickly destroy the bubbles at the gate and instajump into Fleet B's system while the IRON fleet is in warp to the gate.
That plan would have worked great, except when Fleet A jumped in they all lagged out and only a couple of them were able to load the system. As a result of the lag, they were not able to destroy the bubbles and none of them even loaded the system before the enemy fleet had warped to the gate. Even though the IRON fleet was lagged as well AND had horrible pilots (See video of IRON pilots ignoring the FC to kill a Vindicator) they triumphed because the smaller fleet was prevented from manuvering by extreme lag.
Thus, lag affects the combat performance of smaller fleets much more then it does larger fleets.

Well if the lag was affecting everyone equally, the killboard would be empty. I for one couldnt shoot, or control my ship in any larger engangements we had. I jump in, i get wasted without even seeing what wasted me. Its not all peachy as you think it is. You should join a battle or two and experience it for yourself.

Gang of 40 attacks a gang of >100 odds are the 100 are gonna have more people able to see something other than clear overviews and blank space?
Anyway, after that derail I'd personally like to say p[rops to the IRON guys that stuck with it, I'm talking about the unsung guys, d4ve, Hellena and MacQueen's of the alliance that brought it over and over.
Good fighting you.
Until next time.
im famous!
too bad the forums has to burn in flames everytime ppl make a trip to find some targets and stir things up. (its happened twice in only a couple of months now where we in iron have been directly involved)
gf to bob, cya around.
thanks to our brothers in g for coming up to help out in the most critical moments.
and last but not least. i have been very proud to be a member of iron this past week, we are growing with every engagement.

Good fights though, I didn't see all of them, but from what I heard, it was a blast.

I'm on your killboard several times you condescending *****.
I appreciate the other guy's explanation, though. You can take some lessons from him on how not to be an arrogant scumbag.

And too make it even more clear. When BOB wants too conquer a region and not roadtrip it. They make a nice flame atracting post just after settling in, too make clear the region is now BOBs space..
Too bad i missed the fun there too, damn school

Thanks for the holiday entertainment BoB, and for giving some of our noobs (including me) some proper fleet training.
If you accomplished anything on your roadtrip that will have a lasting effect, it was that you made IRON a more organized and dedicated force. You exposed our weaknesses and allowed us to see what we were lacking.

The 3rd of december we all decided we needed to get some proper action. And, well, you know our love for the North.
First option was to go fast and furios for a few days, just to enjoy ourselves until RMR was going to hit, we planned for 2 weeks. Somewhere in the middle of 2 weeks, some insane FC decided it would be a blast to actually sieze a outpost.... So the call went out to take it, and so we did. JU-, now infamous, was ours, and still is. As of friday the 6th, around DT, all our POS'es were pulled down, the roadtrip is over.
It seems fitting to us, that this roadtrip ends with a EPIC battle that raged on for about 2+ hours, and involved roughly 150 pilots in the end as well as a total of 5 dreadnoughts.
The total insurance value payouts that we been responsible for, either by killing or dying, is a staggering;
87 073 040 030
Yes, 87 billion.
For all you statistics people out there, we have prepared this for you for the northern regions.
After nearly a month in hostile space, this is it. The Capital Age is coming, and we are off. For all the hostiles that wants a piece of us, you will find us at home, in barges and industrials, and we invite you all to come spank us, hard.
To cut it short;
#### you guys, we're going home.
Try this translation on for size....
I was paid alot of isk by ASCN to rescue them, and since more to sell on ebay is always better I decided to send the B(l)oB up north. We made quick work of the station that didnt shoot back and smacked the forums until G/Iron came home.
Shortly there after G and Iron proceded to to go buck wild on us without KY, and even our wanna be alliance (5) could not do anything but watch as G and Iron rode us hard. I quickly realized that hanging out here any longer would cause the rest of Eve would realize that my B(l)oB is nothing more than any other B(l)oB where noobs point click shoot. So I decided to run home and make all our ASCN like people mine some more and sell some more isk on ebay.
We tried to salvage our rep by posting all sort of impressive stats like engaging a 100 man fleet with only 40. And oddly enough it worked as no one questioned our uberness(is this a word?), cause if they did they would find out we actualy had more like 60 and outnumbered the enemies bs's by nearly 3:1 but we still lost cause the 5 turned out to be bigger noobs than us. Now my spoon is looking a bit tarnished so I am going to go back home and stick it up my A**, untill its ready to be used again.
SirMolle
PS. If you come here to fight us good luck cause most of the stations are NPC and you cant take them even if we do run away which we will. Unless you send in small groups which we will then B(l)oB like no other.

As usual.
BoB kills a lot of carebears when the main fighters are away. Then when they get some resistance they pull out crying "WIN!! - PWNAGE"
Just admit that you couldn't handle it in the end.

"As usual.

when u read the "proper <insert lots alliances> thread" ull notice that many of our enemies honour our fighting skills, from fleet to small skirmishes (as most impressively proven int he caldari champiognship).
u can also check our killboard, and ull notice that many many, nearly all fleet fights have been won with a good positive killratio.
not one day went over with a negative killration on our killboard, too, btw.
and as said above by Blacklight:
"Of course we couldn't have brought more Dreads if we'd wanted to could we?
Of course we couldn't have deployed more large towers if we'd wanted to could we?
Of course we couldn't have used Eve's first Mothership if we'd wanted to could we?
Of course we couldn't have brought more manpower if we'd needed it could we?
Of course we never go to the north on roadtrips ever do we?
Of course we wouldn't head for Fade/Dek/Pure Blind to keep our members entertained for the holidays would we?"
- why is it that ppl tend to ignore the psot that make sense, and still stick to their borked opinions, no matter what?
