Before they packed up and left thier space. up to the end, NBSI fought damn hard for thier little size. They busted up several attempts at taking thier home system of S-E, wich we, to be honest, thought would be an easy task. Instead we ended up loosig 2 dreads, and a couple large POS's.

I've offered to pay for that once already so until you can get your carebear figurehead to sort his life out and accept a fat cheque from me to attack us you can stow that one

I will have to agree with eyeshadow.
We caught Veritas with their pants down the first days we randomly ended up in their space attacking.
And they kept coming... and coming... every day more organized and never stopping.
I still remember murmurring: wtf? they're back again? I wanna get some sleep.
Since then ofc, they have shown this to be true all over the place. <3.
As for a single corp, CELES hands down.
They are actually the only peole that i have EVER seen attacking us when they were uncertain who would win. Actually they even attacked when we even had the upper hand.
Seriously, now that I think of it, celes is THE ONLY ONE who i've seen doing this (and as we do this a lot I can tell you it's VERY fun)

The most underestimated Alliance...
And the winner is *drumroll*
5
BoB
ASCN
Because they are one.
They should all just get together and call themselves the 1 Alliance.
Not the 5, not silly BoB or ASCN, just 1
or 0.5 + 0.5
or 3-2

In a year and a half of Eve, flying into and out of fights, owning and being owned, the two alliances which stand out for me above all the rest are CVA and BoB.
hmm u wanna tell me that BoB is underrated? U can call BoB much, but underrated?
My mistake. All the same, I wouldn't call them overrated, fanbois or no fanbois...

As for larger alliances... I have to admit that 5 are proving much more of a nuisance than a 'dying' alliance ever should! 
Since when have we ever been Dying :/
Do you know what those little quotes around the word 'dying' mean?

I have been inactive for a long time, quietly training big skills, but i was lucky enough to be ingame for the fights with -V- (although i missed the first dreadnought kill).
I didn't know anything about them when we attacked them. Classy bunch of guys, we never had a problem maintaining our no smack policy with them. It was a privilege fighting these guys, they seemed to be taken by surprise initially as Dahin said, but they kept coming.
They brought a lot of numbers and we were forced to pick off ships under the nose of their fleets more often than not, with the occasional BS slugfest when we had more or less even numbers. Usually it was 20-30 NBSI with 30-50 or more hostiles in local and reports coming in of camps in surrounding systems, we mostly in t2 frigs/cruisers and a few BS, they in BS mostly, the ever present peperammi with his claw and some eagles (they have a LOT of eagles).
We didn't complain about their numbers and they didn't complain about our hit and run tactics, not one single time. We didn't enjoy these fights because they were easy or difficult, we enjoyed them because our enemies behaved like true sportsmen and not like children having a fit.
They would bait us, we would try to kill the bait and warp out, sometimes it worked and sometimes we lost, and this happened for hours on end until we could gradually pick off enough of them to even the numbers and engage head on.
Numerous adrenaline rushing incidents come to mind. Killing an Eagle 50km from the gate their whole fleet was jumping through, i got tackled and just as i was focusing on the taranis will fireblade comes and chases him off, while one of our cruisers was dying.
On another occassion we warped in for a BS fight, lost a couple of BS REALLY quick and i was forced to cover our battleships warping out. Chasing peperammi's claw in my vaga i was left alone and became primary before i knew what happened. I was sooo lucky not to get scrambled, i made it out with 10% shields.
No oversized egos, no arrogance, no bragging, no gloating over victories, no excuses after a lost fight, just fighting and lots of it. It was so action packed that the "killmail before downtime" was a daily occurence. We would go looking for a fight in a gang of 2-3 people about half an hour before the server closed and actually find some -V- guys doing the same, have a small skirmish and go back to dock with mere minutes to spare before DT. Along with my noob days in Xetic and the 13 empire wars, this was the most fun time i've ever had in EvE and a lot of that is because of the respectable attitude displayed by the pilots of -V-

I doubt ASCN can be called underrated but I was very impressed by the way they rallied forces a few days ago when we were hunting what we thought was a solo dictor and the way their solo pilots kept their nerve to gain intel even when being fired upon.
How about most overrated?

the only reason F-E lasted this long is because G/IRON fought all the northern wars for you....
all except the last one of course, but you gave in and nap'd them
don't worry, i'm sure there's a small village in north wales somewhere that thinks you rock.

Wow, you'd think that making it to 3rd rnd in the Tourney (beating MC first) and being stopped by BoB would garner your 80 man alliance a bit of notice, eh

hmmm underrated alliance... easy... -V-
they are bigger and stronger than a lot of people really know. They did more damage to F-E during the empire war fad than 5 did... and are the biggest force actively fighting RA in the south east. Oh and they have a cap2 bpo... their wealth is underrated..

being the main protectors of the pureblind entry points they eliminated any potential threats to northern alliances, directly or indirectly. besides the fact that these powers only exist in the north because they installed them they also have had a rich history of responding to north-eastern 'distress calls' with no support in return.
FE is definately underrated though, who would have thought that a dying alliance would turn on the only people that had any faith left in them.

but anyways that was long before you blew it and backstabbed the only people that had any faith in you.
Lol. G installed us? I seriously doubt that if G had their pick they'd put us anywhere. That BS*****y attitude that G/IRON are above the rest of us doesnt help your cause at all. I think just about everyone has had enough of that superiority complex.
As far as protecting entry points pa/nbsi/fe all used entry points in tribute (p3 and m-o) to get to empire. We were never under threat of anyone attacking us from pure blind so dont make it sound like we owed them something for that. As far as the 'many' occasions where G/iron/rzr came to our aid I can think of one occasion where G sent a fleet to tribute to back us up. While that was a nice gesture it doesnt constitue us keeping their hostile/friendly list for all eternaty. I dont know how we 'backstabbed' g/iron. They set us to -10 and attacked us, not the other way around. I guess if you call 'blowing it' living to be bigger and stronger than ever then yes, we really blew it.

Pfft. F-E is OVER rated IMO. I fought them recently, and when you could get them to undock, they got spanked. We beat the snot out of them. The only reason F-E has our former space is because The 5 mostly did it for them. We willingly gave up S-E NOT because we were afraid of F-E / KAOS. We felt as though we could hold them off all year long. But We knew we couldnt withstand 5.
KAOS were good opponents. They lost thier engagements against us as well, but were at least willing to try.
( this post is reflecting on when I was in NBSI, wich is no longer the case )

Hehehe. I really miss that war :( easily the most fun and best times V had. Maybe another time.
As for the op, I never expected NBSI to be the type of fighters they were, good fun, pleasant and really really in it for all the right reasons. To have a laugh. All that and they were pretty much the perfect counter-challenge to V at that time.. Good fun all round.
Since then I've fought F-E, MC, PA, RA, SNU, FFA and some IMP.. None of them really surprised me in their tactics or style except for individual corps in each those alliances (Altz, MLM, even CWRA :P). MC were of course very organised and diciplined with solid tactics, high quality ships and decent setups.. But we expected that

Hmm.
V were a bit of an unknown quantity when they first showed up in the Wildlands, though it soon became apparent that they're an extremely well-organised PVP force, and more importantly a great bunch of guys.
So it didn't really come as a surprise when we had so much fun fighting them in the bigass empire war :)
Also Morsus Mihi have a hell of a bite for a relatively small alliance, and again are very good people.

I'd like to know exactly how we bent over for anyone. We didnt have to give up anything. We just both realized we were the only ones showing up for fights while everyone else was slacking off so we decided everyone else needed to die. And we are much better than other defeated alliances since we are not defeated and came out stronger than ever. Weather or not you consider how we came out on top the right way to go about things is of little consequence. The result is the same. We are now stronger than ever and now have real allies who actually fight. Obviously you arent happy about the strategy we used to get where we are, but tbh you can blow me. Your opinion doesnt change anything and therefor doesnt count. So now you can sit in jita and cry with all the other losers while we continue to build our empire. enjoy.
btw - you use pretty strong words for an alt. maybe you wouldnt be so brave if you were posting with your main coward.
