Yeah it sucks when players band together to accomplish a common goal.
I can't believe we've destroyed FW after a two week offensive. Well done! |

Seems like TesT is coming back with Brave if so would you stay ? ^^ I thought brave already had a 100+ member corp in gal mil I think they meant that they are both joining Gallente for the LP. |

He's a turd and you can keep him and his minions. Khan was actually pretty cool when he was in Gallente. Total a**hole when he was Caldari.  |

If that's true, why didn't you try it BEFORE we took all the systems?
Possible Reasons: 1. Lack of competitive spirit. 2. Enjoy giving up the entire warzone. 3. Wait for Gallente to achieve goal so they don't try as hard. |

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.  |

So if it was deplexing alts earning massive isk at Tier 4 that kept Caldari at bay, then what happened to those deplexing alts? Why'd they let you guys capture three systems?
Really, it's a combination of deplexing alts and full neckbeard attention to capturing the warzone. One alone can be defeated, but deplexing alts at higher tiers + neckbeards is almost impossible to stop. That's a fair assessment.
Now that we have it out of our system, we can expect the Caldari neckbeards to try to do the same thing to us in a few months. |

Cearain wrote:Sure they could have tried to spread out the blob to keep the systems. But no one cared enough to bother. At least not the people who have been in fw long enough to really understand the occupancy mechanics.
The pvp corps are leaving and being replaced with corps where every member has a plexing alt. Call it the "new Gallente."
The forums are full of the same very vocal 6 people who think fw occupancy is something worth caring about. That's their option. Eve is a sandbox afterall.
Meanwhile those 6 guys are getting lots of pvp in FW precisely because they "care" about it. Yesterday it was Tama. We lost the system but got some really good pew out of it.

I disagree. Your entire argument rests on "rabbit" plexing alts when in fact my alt stood her ground in every plex. Unfortunately she died 99% of the time because her ships were unfit. (1% of the time the guy raiding the plex loses point - pro pvp)

I can actually fit my alt's ship with pvp mods to get the same exact result. In that case I guess it's OK and we won FW fair and square.
Anyways, haters gonna hate. If it were all about deplexing alts, then why hasn't anybody else taken the entire warzone over the past couple years? Don't tell me your side didn't try to do it because I was there defending my home systems when you did.

Moglarr wrote: The next thing I am wondering about is; does capturing the war zone mean anything if one completely fails to hold it? I ask, because it was interesting to see the war zone fall. It has been frustrating watching GalMil stroke themselves over taking the entire war zone, and confusing why whenever their lack of control of the war zone come us it has been brushed off with a "Oh we are letting you in" that is just insulting to everyone reading that. Especially given the discussions people had been having over pulling punches when the enemy is down. In taking the warzone we also took all the Caldari home systems - and that's the key.
Vacating your home systems like Athens did in the movie "300: Rise of Empire" is a valid tactic. The Spartans would probably think you were a bunch of pussies, but Loenidas thought you were a bunch of "boy lovers" in the first movie anyways. So it's not like your reputation can get any worse. |

Really? Based on what? You think Caldari without plexing alts would be roflstomping Gallente?

Cearain wrote: The question is what effect did the gallente alts have on your taking all systems.
I thought this question was already asked and answered: BOTH plexing alts and Gallente militia were responsible for taking the warzone.
Specifically: For the offensive plexing alts at higher tiers: It made it easier to take undefended systems and systems where Caldari did not have TZ coverage. Sped up the process, and probably demoralized our opponents into not trying to defend. One example is Dei-Telum in the Valerian constellation who decided to take a break from FW even though half the constellation was in their hands.
Defensive plexing alts: Honestly don't know about this one. There weren't really any offensive Caldari plexing alts out and about - still aren't. I would say they helped keep the fringe systems (Sarenemi and Hyera for example) in Gallente control - but in both of those cases we were ready to send some of our troops out there to secure them when needed.
As for "lucky to hold Tier 2" comment. We had 60 systems without the massive influx of plexing alts which only came when we decided to upgrade systems to Tier 3.
The Gallente militia was responsible for taking heavily defended systems and busting bunkers, and providing support to our plexing alts when there was stiffer resistance from Caldari in those backwater systems.
At the end of the campaign we had PLENTY of spare pilots to project power to any part of the map we desired. We could have had lots of guys with mains actively defensive plexing all corners of the map while 30+ guys sat in the main systems running plexes and BS'ing with each other on comms.

The reason you didn't answer the question is because you are too wrapped up in silly arguments about your militia being better than the other militia.  The issue to what extent rabbits alts have on the occupancy war - not quibbling about which militia has more alts. X Gallentius wrote:Cearain wrote:

If the other side didn't have any plexing alts... Yes. Again you keep wanting to point fingers at the other side instead of answering the question. The question is: under the current mechanics if Gallente did not have plexing alts would they be able to take all the systems? Of course the other side would have plexing alts like they do now. Certain players have been trying to claim the gallente alts were not that important for the gallente victory etc. I am putting that in perspective and saying what should not be controversial to anyone familiar with the occupancy war. That is if Gallente did not have plexing alts (or minmatar alts) in thier front they would be sitting at tier one and lucky to hit tier 2 on occasion. Do you agree? Pointing fingers how? You want an honest answer about effect of plexing alts on the system then you need to consider having them on both sides or on no side. But, since you asked:
Gallente vs. Caldari + Plexing Alts = Gallente holding about 25 systems when times are tough.
Let's do a "system count" Alparena, Mercomesier, Athounon, Reschard (BEBIG) Eha, Oicx, Vlillirier, Renarelle, Eugales, Aldranette, Frarie (BEBOP, GMVA, old school TPLUS guys, 1Gank1) Nennamaila, Enaluri, Hallanen, Immuri (Core Gallente Groups) Onatoh, Tannolen (RDRAW) Fliet, Old Man Star (AIDER, Total Eclipse) Nisuwa, Notoras (Crosi)
That's 21 systems, many recently "colonized" by 300+ man corps/alliances, and many that haven't been flipped in about a year because of dedicated PLAYERS deplexing them.
There are other systems that are stable such as Onatoh, southern Placid (Covryn, Dastryns, etc...) that aren't stable because of LP whores (you don't get enough LP deplexing 0.67% systems to 0%) that are not on this list. I simply don't have eyes on those systems so I don't know exactly who is taking the time to make those systems stable. |
