So I was chatting with the crew of the Podside Podcast the other night and after the show I had a few questions that I wanted to throw out to the EVE Null Sec community if you had a moment to respond:
The Set up: The way itGÇÖs been explained to me is that the Goon Swarm Federation (GSF) Coalition only exists because of the threat PL and NCDot pose to Goons. Because of this GSF decided to surround themselves with a thick insulating layer of Alliances who have bought into The Mittanis narrative that PL/NCDot are Null Sec Bogeymen and that all these Alliances need GSF to survive. Meanwhile the GSF have been the real threat to their survival by slowly poaching these pet Alliances of their good pilots to keep them weak and reliant on Goons to survive.
Fall out has been half (if not more) of 0.0 is log jammed into a Coalition thatGÇÖs told by The Mittani where, when, who, and most importantly GÇ£whyGÇ¥ he is letting them enter into video game combatGǪ.
Question 1: If PL/NCDot did not pose a threat to the SOV/income safety of the GSF Coalition pet Alliances, would there be a need for this coalition?
Question 2: If PL/NCDot were to offer a one year NIP to all the pet GSF Coalition Alliances so these Alliances could extract themselves from the GSF GÇ£ServicesGÇ¥ crack pipe, would they accept it?
Question 3: Would it help if PL/NCDot were to agree that during the one year NIP they would apply pressure on GSF space so as to allow the recovering Alliances to shore up their borders, infrastructure, and space?
Question 4: Does GSF have their hooks (services and spies) so deep into all these pet Alliances that there is actually no way out for them?
Question 5: Will the GSF Coalition go down as one of EVEGÇÖs biggest and longest running scams?
Question 6: Are GSF Coalition Alliances more afraid of what GSF will do to them if they decide to leave the Coalition or of what GSF claims PL/NCDot will do to them if they leave?
I ask these questions because it sounds to me like PL/NCDot only pose a threat to GSF and not the other Alliances being used by GSF as a shield. That PL/NCDot are content with the space they control and wouldnGÇÖt want to expand beyond what they feel comfortable managing. That they would probably be happy spending the summer kicking in the GÇ£Fortress DekleinGÇ¥ door while the Alliances, currently held hostage by GSF, sort things out and become what theyGÇÖve always wanted to be, self-sufficient null sec Alliances.
The last GSF Alliance propaganda SOTA piece tryGÇÖs to create this elaborate illusion that there is some sort of GÇ£Cold WarGÇ¥ going on. The piece is packed full of scary phrases like GÇ£Our foes despise us, and grimly work towards avenging their humiliationsGÇ¥, when in reality The Mittani has simply realized that his house of cards is getting too high and he needs this GÇ£Cold WarGÇ¥ time to make the final preparations for when it fallsGǪGǪGǪ..on top of GSF.
He has already played the long-con of pilot preparations by slowly poaching all of the good pvp talent from the Coalitions pet Alliances and now needs to put whatGÇÖs left of them (their industrialists) to work building the SC and Titans that GSF pilots will need to fly when the cards come tumbling down.
AnywhoooGǪGǪ.I was going to stand a top my Hound at one of the western null sec gates, boom box over my head, belting out GÇ£whatGÇÖs wrong with you people!!! DonGÇÖt you see whatGÇÖs been going on?!..........but alas, when they came for Li3 no one spoke up, and when they came for Gents no one spoke upGǪGǪGǪand when they come for youGǪGǪGǪ.
Fly it like you stole it!! (RIP TN).. Twitter = @Snot_Shot-á --áGÇ£If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything" |

People will form big alliance/coalitions because they can. It's just easier to keep people together if you have a common enemy to make mean faces to.
The whole cold war thing is kind of 'meh'. Maybe for a few months or so, but you need some kind of activity to keep your pilots from unsubing. |

Podside has become increasingly toxic lately with an amazing amount of anti CFC propaganda and mindless ranting mostly from Bronya, spear and yourself.
Your problem is that you do not look at the benefits the CFC brings at all. All you do is assume every single person is a brainwashed moron playing the Mittanis game joining huge fleets to F1 and then ratting the rest of the time to buy more ships to fight his wars and inflate his ego all the while not realizing we are just pawns in a huge political game. You laugh at the fact we have to obey a higher authority and mock all the CFC bears.
There is of course some truth there, as line members we do as we are told and live within a certain set of rules. The thing is this is no different to any other corp/alliance/coalition in the game. And the reason line members are happy to follow these rules is that they get a large range of benefits from doing so.
We are far from brainwashed drones, we are in face smart enough to have realized that by joining with the CFC we have excellent space that we can all use to easily gather the isk to PVP, we have the support of a huge player base to make that space secure, we have access to a great community of active players who play all sort of games, we have lots of angry grrrr goons people coming to our space for us to shoot and we get to experience nearly every aspect of eve among many other things.
For you average line member being in the CFC is fantastic. For all those benefits we have to put in a little work (POS shoots and strat ops) but then so do many other corps and organizations throughout the game as these are all based on the game mechanics.
I really wish people could get past this crazy elitist hatred for goonswarm/CFC which at the end of the day can only really be attributed to one thing, jealousy. The CFC are winning, they have been winning for a long time and they have got winning down to a fine art. It sucks to be on the other side of that sometimes but that does not mean the winning side are automatically Satan. |

All of the questions are irrelevant since you lead off with a false premise. It's inevitable that groups of cooperating alliances will form and fight each other. The CFC is just one such coalition. N3 is a coalition. HERO is (sort of) a coalition. You questions are based around the idea that member alliances are being suckered in the CFC, yet would be completely independent and free in any other coalition, and that given the chance to "break free" would leap at the chance.

Might want to look at what you just said. "We bash towers and go on strat ops so we can essentially do what everyone else already does.

If by crazy hatred, you mean we point out that as outsiders of your coalition, all you are at essence is over glorified renters for their 'max bodies' method of winning sov wars (which is really the only way they can win); then ok, sure.
The only people that have some obsessive hatred for GoonSwarm or it's allies are by and large completely irrelevant pubbies that you all continuously provoke just so you can say 'hey- those guys hate us', none of the players really give a ****. |

Are you attempting to imply that PL never asks its members to shoot towers or do anything else for the alliance as a requirement for being there?
It dosent matter if the CFC used numbers to win because ultimately they are still winning, all you SP and all you Supers amount to nothing more than wasted years against the superior tactic of diplomacy and numbers.
Also judging from Podside which is what spawned this thread its far only being high sec that hates the CFC, it seems like nearly every non CFC entity despises us. |

I'm sure they ask us to shoot towers, but not doing it isn't reflected poorly upon- only takes a few people with dreads and 1-2 carriers normally. Moons aren't an alliance asset so taking them goes directly to the members, funny how motivation for personal gain works, isn't it?

Actually, pretty sure you're not winning, and are currently losing an arms race. While sure, with SOLAR, Black Legion, and everything not aligned with the N3, B-R happened; I think you will find however, that a large portion of the force that won you that battle is simply not there anymore (or at least, not interested in working with you).

Seems pretty narcissistic if you ask me, I'd say most people simply don't care no matter how hard you try and convince them otherwise. 'GRRGoons' is only a thing in smaller groups like TEST and a few low-sec groups. |

I do love that the N3/PL side put out so much propaganda saying that the CFC / GSF are so very very bad.. and that being on their side makes you a mindless pleb.. and blames them for the 'current' Null stagnation..
While at the same time claiming that they are more powerful then their opponents, but wont do anything about it.. and have to 'reset' eachother to have fun.. when there is a perfectly good group to shoot at on the other side of high sec
Both sides are as bad as each other really.. and they day the shooting starts we can see who is 'right' |

Really interested in this 'PL Propaganda', because... there isn't any; there are just a few people who voice their opinions louder than others. I personally can't find any fault with the CFC at large because our ratio of idiots:rational people are pretty damn close.

Any of you ever write a pretty decent response to an EVO thread only to have it get wiped out when you hit post? And the "saved draft" isnt what you had nearly finished. Welp.......that just happened so I couldnt be f**ked to write it again.
I will say I sent the article to EN24 on June 3rd but they didnt hae time to get it posted until yeaterday I guess so yaay for the double posting etc.
Thanks to you guys for chipping away at the thread (Xolve) and the others. See you on the EN24 thread and I'll check back here if anyone pops up with somoethign worth commenting on.....that might get erased anyways.....

There was a lot more to that post before the forum ate it, I even tried to have a go at it again in an exercise of pure futility. So, i'll just say I respect your right to have an opinion, no matter how wrong and narrative driven it might be.
