If the war was being fought on the forums you could finally be a hero!

There's only one fact in this whole thread, which is that you all are getting worked up over a noob troll who was in ASCN for all of a month and a half before running back to empire. That's barely enough time to learn how to get from AZN to HED, let alone get a clue as to how the alliance is run.

Well no offence, but that isn't ironic.
To date, in the last 28 days, ASCN have lost just under 1000 battleships to BoB.
That's 28 days... just under 1000 battleships.
Not counting, shuttles, pods, newb ships, random corporations that have nothing to do with ASCN, not counting random support like CEO pyrex's count of what crap he has killed in Delve.
We have about 65 Battleships to go till we reach that 1000 Battleship number, hopefully we will achieve this in the next 3 days so that we can make it a nice round number for our monthly report.
Yet, you have Mcreedy saying that everything is going to plan for ASCN..... so it must be part of the greater plan.
One I fail to see the logic in.

I honestly just don't think you guys get it. You are talking about inflicting losses on some of the richest corps to ever play EVE...do you really think they aren't easily replacing those BSes? With insurance each one of them hardly costs anything.
You guys have finally chosen to attack an alliance that actually cares about its space, and has the resources to basically fight forever. You haven't even reached the POS spam part of the war...how many towers do you think ASCN has stocked away? I would think hundreds...I guess I just don't see the point of your posts about kills/losses. For ASCN its only about preserving their territory. Anyone with an eye to EVE history would recognize that.

This was certainly true of FA too. And they where the econimic powerhouse back then.
Didn't prevent BoB from walking all over us. (I was an the FA side.)
I do know my EVE history, thank you.
I'm not sure that's a real good comparison, but we shall see.

I understand the war perfectly well. The point of my post is that you guys have chosen to attack an alliance that just might possibly not care as much about ship losses as some of your other opponents in the past.
Yes losing lots of ships sucks and dying in a bubble sucks...but ultimately this war is about staying power.

Actually, the point of your post was to attack my post by making up a point that wasn't the point I was making in the beginning.
However, if you seriously believe that the ASCN dudes don't care about their ships then you don't understand this war at all.
You are correct in one point in your more recent post though but then you did copy that point straight from my post.
All in all, not a very good day's forum posting for you sir!

Clearly we are talking at each other, so I won't persist. You have won this forum battle...I will submit a forum killmail post haste.

The thing is that some of the individual CORPORATIONS are rich. beyond belief quite possibly, but they general member of ascn isn't. Most people can stomach a BS loss or two or three. But when your denied the ability to rat and regen the wallet gets slimmer and slimmer and teh fittings on those BS get less t2 and more t1, and then it gets easier to loose the BS. At some point each member has their own breaking point as shown by the guy who lost two frigs and now endlessly flames ascn.
When ascn members start loosing their personal capital ships that is when things will truly start to break. BS losses for capital pilots happen and are generally no problem even fully t2 fitted. but when you start loosing 2-3bil in a minute as your dread explodes? most people cant handle that well. a few can, not many though.
So what is bob doing? wearing down the general BS pilot of ascn. So when the REAL fleet fights start coming ascn, may have numbers but half will be cruiser/frigs and on BS they will be on equal footing.
ASCN HC says what it thinks it needs to say. which makes this all the more interesting.
Yes of course capital ship losses would be a big morale hit. I would imagine that's why both sides haven't done much capital attacking, given the current state of the servers.
