BoB and Celes are two very different entities, each playing this game with there own goals and ambitions. The same can be said for the current (non-BoB) occupants of Fountain, who are interested in empire building as much as small pvp engagements.
Celes will never be more than a nuisance to these kinds of entities. I mean no insult, but you can take it how you will. The reason this is the case has nothing to do with your pvp ability, your tactics or your willingness to fight. It has to do with your goals.
You have stated time and time again that your goals do not include holding territory, they do not include the risking of any large assets, they do not include building an empire. You've stated in this thread that you do not have the resources to interrupt our ability to partake in these areas of the game. Until the day that changes, you will never be considered anything more than something to shoot at when we don't have any real opponents to engage (and by real opponents, I mean entities fighting at an alliance level).
Feel free to quote killboards numbers or anything else you feel relevant. The fact remains that when engagements between BoB and Celes occur, it's because we're holding back 90% of our numbers to get a fight. There's nothing wrong with that, if it's the position you choose to put yourself in. But the reality is that BoB and Celes are almost playing two different games (the fact that this is possible, is why I love this game).
EDIT: Typos :P

Damn celes, you guys have great timing. You guys are really brave when ever bob goes somewhere else.
It does make a nice point about overextending, though. Perhaps BoB is simply not big enough to hold all those regions?
The 'size' of BoB is not the only factor to consider here. Stop thinking of BoB / ASCN / D2 / LV as alliances, and start thinking of them as empires. All 4 entities make use of vassal alliances / corps in there controlled regions that need to be taken into account.
Summary: The more people visiting Fountain the merrier :)

LOL at you for the second time, Even before the war with ASCN BOB have never really been in fountain, Xelas pay BOB to live there and they keep getting owned by CELES.
Please try and give a third clue, I would love to hear it.
Someone really needs to talk to the guys building the BoB outposts then. The fact that they were able to gather the resources and deploy an outpost in Fountain should tell you something.

Can I come to Fountain and be killed by BoB? I'll pay you.
I remember Beagle Corp from when you were in Xelas.
So that's a definite yes :) We'll even shoot at you for free.

Well its too late now anyway.
The thread has gone completely barmy and there is no way back for it.
It started as an in character thread then a few posts later from 'guess who' and its been deemed a worthy sacrifice for the 'Corporation & Alliance discussion' altar.
Oh well.
Whether or not I agree with it being moved. You can hardly blame 'guess who' for reacting, when your corp starts posting as the owners of one of our claimed regions. I won't go as far as calling it flame bait, but definition wise it isn't far off the mark.
