Is there anywhere one can go to read a relatively clean and unbiased report of current events in EVE without all the flame bait, flag waving, epeen stroking amateur propaganda?
All I'm looking for are relatively accurate facts. I've lost my tolerance for the hip deep layer of **** we have to dig thru to find them.
Please help? Thanks.

Hey, just like real life!
For some reason the fact that ~50% of the people replying to the thread fail to read and understand the point of the OP is hilarious. |

Just realised that that's your bio, meaning you have the best bio ever.
To the OP: I quite enjoy reading through all the bullsh*t on this forum trying to decipher what, if any, of it is true. But yeah, it's pretty anoying sometimes that you can't just get to the facts straight off :p - - - - - - - - - -

As the only things that will answer to this question/thread will be human beings, answer is no, sadly.
Edit: But, at the same time, 100% straight facts would be boaring, I dont buy daily press for 100% straight facts, I want some analysis, some History links with that.
Nb: I dont read free press

... actually just read through that .. and its a pretty decent account of the backdrop to the war. A suitable starting point. The author has remained pretty neutral in his writings which is good.
Problem is you are going to have to wait for him to update it as more "big" news happens. If you have the patience for that to happen, then all well and good..
However if you don't (like me .. ), then you are stuck with wading through the "flame bait, flag waving, epeen stroking amateur propaganda", as the OP so eloquently put it, to satiate your appetite for fresh news items... 
And thats half the fun... ^^

Actually that's not all that inaccurate. It overplays the BoB and MC relationship but as everyone with a tinfoil hat in Eve thinks they know something about that then there's no surprise. The other notable inaccuracies are regarding our primary region which is not Fountain and the number of motherships both sides hold but as the number of motherships, their pilots and their location is relatively well gaurded that is no great surprise.
At least the article doesn't further the rather laughable theory that we are attacking ASCN because they built a Titan.

I think the Fountain bit was put there because of heavy activaty in the region compared to areas which BOB controls. you was based out there for a while before this war attacking celest, outbreak, and rise. --------------------------

Have you seen bob post in the ascn/bob war thread.
I swear bob are all under 14.
And Blacklight, ASCN Titan IS the only reason you are attacking them.
Otherwise you would have taken on other alliances, such as the coalition?

Ok this is great.
Now other people are telling us why we do things.
Look, a lot of the confusion sourrounding how BoB is percieved is because a lot of people cannot accept the fact that BoB is based on simple ideas that just work. A lot of people come up with convoluted ideas on how to do things like run corporations and alliances, fight strategic combat, etc. so when their ideas don't work, they can't accept that anything simpler could. Things that work automatically have to be more complicated.

My opinion of BoB isn't really that great right now. But that post was just dumb. BoB has lots of members, what a few zealots say on the forums don't really have a bearing on what their players are like on the whole. Also the Titan probably did factor into when the war was launched atleast a little bit but the time from when the titan completion was announced to when the war started was just too short. Maybe I'm horribly off on this but I don't think anybody would attack ASCN without a lot of forethought and preparation, BoB seems full of jerks/propaganda *****s on the forums but you have to admit they're anything but short sighted in the planning level. Atleast from what I can tell at any rate.

I'd say BoB have been planning this for a little longer than that. I predicted the war for paragon soul months ago. Attacking now is actually a good move, they have a titan and havent used it much... so why not try and force them into a mistake? :)
But I know ASCN better than that... and they won't screw up
anyway GL to both involved (especially our good friends ASCN).. should be a GF if CCP can do something bout the lag

everyone with any connections already expected this from a few weeks ago i.e. before the titan location leaked, let alone was announced.

Dumb? thanks :) Alot of BOB post on these "threads" and make BOB look dumb. BOB as a whole are not not dumb, anyone with any common sense knows this. Bob just needs to remove the idiots that post on these forums on their behalf.
Tacticaly bob are an awesome force, cant wait for them to take on a real force.

And on the other side, we have tons of randoms making up posts telling us why we are flamers and trolls by, err, flaming and trolling us (just like you).
I think I forgot to mention one more side and that is the bitter and twisted people who need to tell us what we need to be doing... when, quite frankly, they haven't got a scooby doo about BoB.
