The greatest single lesson that I learned from the GNW was.
Smack.. Is waste of time, effort, and at the end, totally useless.

I was apart of the GNW for better or for worse.
I've lead fleets and fought solo fights.
I've witnessed the backstabbing within an alliance and the greed.
And most of all the self righteous ego's that come from an alliance.
What did the GNW teach me? the truth.
Taught me that alliance warfare is total bs.
It taught me to hate alliances and never be apart of one again.
Unlike in small group pvp theres very little skill involved in alliance warfare. Just a few competent ppl with average skill pilots taking orders.
It taught me that numbers are alwayz better then quality.
In alliance warfare there is no honor or individual pilot skill.
More of an alliance war is fought through mass apeal then actual combat.
It taught me that no matter how strong yout think your bonds are amongst your alliance those bonds will break.
Alliances are the dead end of a skilled pilots career.

I learned that council meetings were bad.
I learned how to lead fleets.
I learned that numbers is not everything, but fear is.
Being everywhere is the key to winning a war.
Your home is secondary. Invading the enemy is most important.
If you are invaded, and on an offensive. Ignore the invasion.
Mining veld/scord/jaspet in 0.0 so you can have mins to build ammo for the next day = best war ever.
i learnt if ur gonna have a 1 on 1 with sweaty u gotta fit a disruptor or something.
first bs 1on1 was with sweaty for me and i dampaned him so much in my scorp that he couldnt lock me even after 2 mins.... god that was a ghey setup....
but fair doos u stuck around for ages to see if u could.

I learned that Alliance politics is BS. Right before the war was over (soon after PA and COD or NSA i guess and a few other allies quit fighting) i went pirate. Even though i haven't been in snigg all of the time since then, it was the best decision i've ever made. (eve-wise that is.)

my turn!!!
Ok... what did I learn....
- Persistence in any event, wins all. The 'here' and 'now' mean nothing.
- Ideals are worth fighting for (roleplay wise).
- Smacktalk can make you look like an idiot (best not to do it)
- Movies are good, non-biased movies are better, learning how to make movies is fantastic
- At the end of the day, there is a human behind that keyboard, you can dislike the enemy, but don't dislike the person.
- Identify weaknesses in an entity early on, try to correct as soon as possible. If all attempts fail, leave and disassociate yourselves with the said entity (alliances, corps, whatever).
- Respect different play styles in EVE. Not everyone roleplays, not everyone fights for ideals, not everyone fights just to fight, but we all do it 'something' and for some reason. Respect it.
- Make friends with your enemies, the long-term benefits are astounding.

The GWN was when the gank fitting was made.
Gank fitting? What you mean?
The gankageddon setup, 7x megapulse, 2x tracking comp, mwd, 8x heat sink.
That setup ruled all because at the time megapulses were quite overpowered, there was less stacking penalty on damage mods, and because of the rof bonus of the geddon.
It was later adopted to other ships but not quite with the same devastating effect 
This thread is teaching me that many people have poor memories. There's no way that setup would fit.
A typical ganka setup was more like 7 x megapulse, 2 x sensor booster, 1 x tracking comp or disruptor and 8 HS.

Everyones put it so well!
The GNW really taught me how to fight. Everything before that was embarrasingly amateur. It taught me the pleasures of roaming around in a frigate (later an interceptor). It taught me that nothing beats the thrill of a close battle followed by a chat with your enemy. There were times during the GNW that I really wished I wasn't part of it, but I sure am glad to have been there.

Those who took part on the frontlines of the GNW on all sides took away something very special that I doubt the new characters in the game will ever experience again. dbp
I believe this also. The GNW was a singular event within Eve's history.
It taught me many things.
One could get more accurate information by asking your opponent what they killed, rather than ask your own team what they lost.
That late night chats on irc with molle are interesting and informative.
That some people felt so much for that conflict that rather than desert their friends by leaving the arena or their corp, they quit the game entirely.
Some people have resolve, they have drive and will persist.
That my opponents in the war, fought on all fronts, in exceptionally precise methods, using all resources available. I have an awful lot of respect for the effort invested, and for those who I fought against. That respect persists today.
Retrospectively one learns even more when events are reexamined in your mind, new information is presented and sucessive wars prove less... gritty.

I learned that staring at 25 bubbles on a gate for more than 2 hours causes involuntary hittng of the head on the monitor, and the occasional lighting of the wrong end of your cigarette.

OH and propaganda can either kill or save and alliance.
In the case of PA,Leafo and LLeBRing,were more effective in keeping their alliance going and morale up then any PA fleet ever was.

Oh well, I was close enough
I never acctually flew an armageddon during that period, and it's the full rack of guns and damage mods that counts anyway

That char was created way after the GNW and got very little credibility when it comes to the GNW :)

To me the GNW mostly showed that people won't get the message that they've lost unless it hits them with a sledge hammer. The fact that PA at the end still claimed victory, when they had lost all of the major corps and 95% of their member base, showed me how delusional people really can be.

What I learnt,
PVP is fun
Nothing beats the adrenaline rush of large battles
Politics / politicians suck {never believe those you havn't fought many times alongside}
When everyone wants to they can make a difference and hav fun even if they end up fighting in T1 frigs after losing most of there BS :)
You can't put an ISK price on a good FC
Nobody fights harder than those that feel they have something to protect.
IMO a lot of changes have made the kind of figthing found in GNW a thing of the past, too much emphasis now on the latest UBER T2 blahh blahh blahh.
Makes it harder for those with less game time to be as fully immersed in the game, and also too much carebear time between figthing to actually compete now.
Had a lot of fun during GNW taking PA stations alone as a maverik in branch using a scorpion , no way without dreads or large BS fleet this is possible now.
Also anyone remember BB with infinite EW range and cruise missiles? :))
God am getting older..........

Oh Shin you play yourself down so well, we both know you were ganking stuff well before GNW
For my part I learned that a Bellicose is a useful distraction for camping battleships, whilst drunk, screaming CHARRGGGEE!! into TS much to the amusement of the other chaps.
I learned 9-2 is way too wide.
Tactical deceit can work wonders (mining PVP fleet anyone)
DBP usually has a plan when you're asked to "take one for the team" 
Molle really is as good as his rep.
Blacklight loves a tipple.
And last but not least - not all PA were Ebil! (Just CDI)

GNW was the most fun I've had in game.
Every fight since then has been mostly and attempt to recapture the feeling.
It also taught me that Rod Blaine is a bad bad man with a 15km Web.
I'm not really sure if any place will feel as much like "home" as the northern regions for our corp. Anyway, I'm proud that we stood till the end, even if it did get down to throwing tech 1 cruisers and frigs into the fight. I remember the day BoB withdrew from the area...most of us were more saddened by their leaving than excited that we didn't have to fight anymore. Good bunch of guys.
It was also, the first time I got my hands on the bestest ship ever! The Claw. I love that thing.

GNW taught me not to live in BKG with only a scorpion to pilot. It would take hours to carefully get up to BKG in one piece, hang around for hours/days waiting for a fleet battle only to be popped within 5 seconds of dropping out of warp since the Evol guys apparently really really hated our Long-Range Damper scorps :(
Then it was rinse and repeat, buy another scorp in empire, carefully proceed north. Die again within 5 seconds. Infuriating :)
Funny thing was that Koval of TWB was another long term scorp pilot that lived up in BKG and never ever seemed to die. Unfair!
