When it starts its a few good fleet fights.....then the side that start losing always seems to say screw it and then never bother to undock or run off to some other place rather than engage outright....or fight someone else rather than engage you....
No alliance names mentioned

largest fight i have been in was the fight for AZN.
ASCN was defending its home against 3 or 4 attacking alliances. there were pos wars 30 pos deployed in 1 morning and all of them blown up by the next.
There were fleet battles over 300 people in local and all fighting.
There were small roaming gangs
There were posts on the forums saying that we would be crushed and die.
lots and lots were destroyed.

While they were saying among themselves it cannot be done, it was done[/center]

Alliance wars are Fleets, Lag & Smack in equal measure

Alliance war.. I`d say its the thing that have made this game worth playing for me at least...
Its pvp on a higher level than the happyganking going on in empire (not saying that cant be fun/demanding) Becasue of the things that are at stake.
in 0,0 with true player driven alliances/corps everything is at stake and because of it you`ll experience a simulation of war wich is scaringly realistic.
Players can loose everything they own (have it locked in an enemy station dependingon enemy goodwill to get it out)...
And allso The amount of in game capital needed to power theese wars are imense.
An allliance can mine for weeks to build a capital ship fleets worth tens of billions to use on the enemy only to loose it to one single wrong decicion in combat.
And not only the fleets but the Towers you need to buy to claim sovereignity are worth a lot and can be knocked down by the enemy.. you can build outposts for 30 bill a piece only to have an enemy invade and claim them.
I wount claim War in eve are as horrible as a war in rl but it certainly simulates it well and give you a good idea.
you have ppl loosing everything they own forcing them to start on scratch.
you Got players suffering under lack of resources.
you got players being driven to their limits of their capabillities because they cant afford to loose and still they Die without any form of moral justice of who deserves to die and not.
You get ppl submitting to an opressor because they have no choise.
You get fenomenas of the evil that appears in groups of ppl under preassure.
For example WWII natzi like attitudes both between and within alliances and groups of ppl in the form of both nationalizm and that the weak and noobish players should not have a place among the rest.
You get ppl playing a game for power not in form of weapons or assets but power to controll other ppl.
You get Carismatic psycos going for positions of power and the ppl give it to them.
You get Ideals and moralValues and ppl fighting for them and Still dieing without discimination of whos moraly right or not.
You get propaganda spread out and lies are common and you get fredom of speach taken away at times.
You get an unbelivable time of manhours focused on things that might lead to victory or defeat.
When the enemy is destroyed you get ppl turning on eachother blaming eachother for things that have happened during the war.
You get all the corruption that war can bring to a group of ppl even between ppl in the same alliance...
And on the very very rare occation you actually see real hatred in action.
This is What I find facinating about eve. The depth that is created by the combination of high death penalty (not like in other games where you respawn with everything you had) and mechanics open for players to create their own laws and nations.
Eve and Alliance wars are incredible facinating and sometimes its scary too.. Withnessing what humans are capable of doing and saying and what kind of at times sick opinions can be commonly accepted.
I can go happygank ppl in empire but thats not much of a challange. I get boored... 0,0 alliance wars actually put the players under pressure and therefore gives me a much bigger thrill.
I hope that answared your quetion on the abstract plane at least...
