It's basically every single thread about Morsus/TCF/D7- that turns into a flame-fest...
Why dont you just enjoy yourselves having a nice fight close by?
Ennemies in space, still, close in the mind.
Sadly, there is always a couple of persons who's angering me, often in both sides, by their positions. Among the things I can't deal with, there is hypocrisy and arrogance.
Since we are constantly overwhelmed with a half-dreamed TCF propaganda, I'll give you my own point of view, since I saw how the things has taked place from the first day of war to the last one.
There is something to know about context prior to heard about the last Tribute invasion, to end with this TCF martyr attitude, maintained by some of them loving to draw themselves as courageous combattants fighting with heroism against many-times-stronger ennemies who hate them with all their heart (  ).
For months now, Tau-Ceti Federation, in search for a local recognition, are trying to bring a mess in the surrounding regions, by provocating everyone around to earn a political position, to utter aloud : we are there !. From the beginning, they introduced themselve as potentially hostile to everyone instead of trying to build something with the local powers. It's a choice.
So, even before the Tribute campaign started, TCF, on their own, has politically raised everyone against them, while knowing that all these corps and alliances were in good terms each other.
Almost only those who ignore this fact are in admiration for this false replica of David vs. Goliath.
Basically, I'm tired to read about the number of alliances against them. It's nothing but the consequence of their own choices and politics. It's a comfortable seat anyway : If we win, that's because we rocks ! If we lose, that's cause it was unfair ! Yes, it's clearly comfortable.
TCF has stired up the animosity of their neighbourhood before turning up to their home. Hence it's kinda untimely to arise himself as a victim, as it can be read on too many TCF statements. There's a proverb in french illustrating this perfectly : he who sows the wind reaps the whirlwind.
Let's speak about Tribute.
At end of july, after a long and a relatively quiet (according to the 0.0 standards) NPC/mining campaign to fulfil the alliance' wallets, TCF launched an assault on H-W9TY, under Morsus Mihi sovereignty. POS are quickly sieged, system heavily camped, and finally the station fall down shortly.
The same day, some neighbours are sending help to roam around until a counter-attack get ready, I'm on.
A couple of days later, the northern friends of MM, just ending another campaign against the Goons, mobilize to help their ally. A fleet is sent to Tribute, the previous roaming squads are joining it.
The siege begin, TCF are quickly expelled from H-W with a disconcerting easiness (I'm inclined to believe the planned retreat of H-W explained some weeks ago by TCF leads).
Then, they take D7-ZAC. The North are going to do the same that for H-W, the first POS are assaulted with fleets fighting... when everyone suddenly note that D7 can't handle sort of battle due to the lag. It's killing more of us -Dreads included- than the hostile fleet, since the POS aren't affected by the lag. Good strategy or not from both sides, it's a server issue that turn into a heaven gift for the defender of the POS. It's a fact that no-one present these first days of august in D7 assaults can deny, I hope so.
Then, operations has been frozen until a better stability, which definitively came when the GMs and Devs gave more power to D7 node to fight decently. Everyone there when it happend know the result. The POS war defender of D7 was the Lag, this is an honnest statement and I feel sorry if it hurt the pride of some. But this is a reality.
The POS war was a frustrating joke, for both of us, but the result of the war, lag aside, were known from the begining of the campaign.
Char limit. :x
