I don't understand how Caldari didn't take at least a couple systems back to prevent 100% warzone dominance. They can easily plex back systems far beyond the reach of where Gallente base out of. This would've been a good troll.

We got fights everywhere apart from your home ground. You speak for a militia that either thinks your group are ignorant at best or for the most part have no idea you exist.

The goal was open because you have no team.

Don't know what the fuss is all about. Most of the time, taking a home system generates a ton of content (Okkamon, Pav/Kinakka, Asakai), and sometimes it doesn't (Heyd, Ladistier). Whatever. We were in "Take Warzone Beast Mode" and accept that one of the consequences was no fights at the end.

The only thing lolworthy here is Squatdog's assessment only because he was spot on in his analysis. The way to beat the blob is to spread out and force fights in many places. The Amarr did this exact thing to the Minmatar when they were down to just Sahtogas and it worked for them. Caldari could have potentially royally griefed us Gallente militia neckbeards if they had employed this strategy BEFORE all the systems were taken. Maybe we would have adjusted, maybe we wouldn't have - we'll never know.

Whatever. Good to see you back. Never thought you'd leave.

I think it's time to add "We didn't want to maintain total warzone control anyways"

Edit: Also, you guys still have us in total time warzone controlled with a score of about 180 days to 4.

Whereas it wasn't way back when you took the warzone?

To be serious with you BM, we all agree that the lp system is ******. And we've been saying so. But it wasn't lp farmers that plexed your home systems and flipped the bunkers.

Anyway, love the tears of those others that complain about gallente "blobs". Love the claims of "200 Gallente in local" (obviously someone who's overview is so ****** up he can't differentiate between neutrals and Galmil but only sees those that aren't blue or purple to him). Love to see ole' Squat Dog back and posting.

As was just said above, don't worry, you'll have a nullsec alliance join you soon. Eventually your Navy Raven farming hordes will be back and all will be well.

But they were fine when you guys held the warzone. Im beginning to notice a pattern!

As for squatdog, i imagine he is just trolling. He wasnt even there for any of the systems that put up a defence. All he did was sit in Ladister for the 13 day campaign keeping it stable as though that was going to stop us.

Okkamon took us nearly a week to capture, numerical superiority swung from fairly even in EU tz, though they often stayed docked due to lack of FC, sometimes we would sit there plexing with 20-25 people in local as they logged in. They would be sat with equal numbers for sometimes 2 hours before making a move. Twice during Okkamon siege there were over 100 squids in 3 separate fleets during US tz compared to our 40-60 number. But ultimately their procrastination in the EU, lack of AU tz and inconsistent US tz cost them the system.

So if isk is the driving factor then the mechanic is broken? When will-power and bragging rights are the driving factor the mechanics are sound? No matter how utterly skewed and biased the mechanics actually were?

Well, by that standard we still win. We were at tier 4 before the push, and were at tier 4 now. People didnt earn a great deal of LP in this push. So its pretty clear that our motivation here was the same as your motivation back then. To win, not make isk.

Since the specific mechanics dont matter (by your standards) when judging if mechanics are broken, and all that matters is that occupancy is driven by the will to win and not isk, its pretty clear that our victory is every bit as valid as yours. Well, tbh a lot more valid since more than 20 people dominating the after downtime spawn can play now :)

Personal opinion, but folks who claim ISK UBER ALLES as the only valid determinant of the FW mechanics are missing the large number of folks for whom it's KMS UBER ALLES and GUDFITES UBER ALLES and EPEEN UBER ALLES. Sure, Tier and isk/LP ratios matter in terms of sustainability for a lot of pilots, but we Gallente haven't been in it for the iskies. Lots of us in the more active GalMil corps have relied on incursions / exploration / WHs / PI / industry for our isk rather than missions and plexing.

Point being - incentives matter, but the amount of influence they have is exactly how much influence you give them.

Our (fail) leadership at the time did the same thing when you guys took the warzone. They quit at about Aldranette/Esesier and hoped that you'd move on to something else once you took the warzone.

There is nothing in this game worth fighting for - unless you decide it's worth it.

Since when did hiding in a POS next to a Titan become marching? Oh you nullbears never learn. When will people realize that fighting an enemy who only bridges an exact counter to your fleet and constantly has caps on standby is not fun to fight.

Hope you got lotion next to your chair for all those blue balls you're gonna get.

PROTIP: People who care about occupancy warfare don't generally care about LP or isk, beyond that needed to sustain the occupancy war.

Thus, those saying it's "not worth it" either don't have the organizational support to effectively engage in occupancy warfare, or are more interested in farming LP.

They can't handle the truth.
