Originally by: Moghydin Nice read. Very well constructed piece of fiction.
Clearly you have been reading to many of Cyvok's and Madeye Mcready's "Morale" blogs. This is not fiction this is fact we own your station's next its your move what are you going to do?
Fiction: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiction
Many points in the post are imaginary (based on observations of the poster and his predictions), hence - fiction .Some, though, are facts, not arguing about that.
Extarct from Wikipedia: "A large part of the appeal of fiction is its ability to evoke the entire spectrum of human emotions." It was a large part of the post too - another match.
Care to actually comment on which parts are fictional?

Nice post. Now "IF" ASCN keeps it up then surely they will perish - but what then?
What is left to "on paper" keep bob from world domination?
And where will BOB find targets that their warmachine cannot crush if the biggest and wealthiest alliance crumbles this easily?
Note: Not saying ASCN will crumble, but so far the arrow is pointing in that direction.

There are always challenges m8, often the greatest opposition comes from the least likely targets.

I just miss one thing to complete this irony of fate: ASCN worse enemies saving its ass. Yeah, that would really be the top 
You are missing a small detail my friend. First, some corps in ASCN have to form/join a new alliance, say the bulk of ASCN corps don't pull their weight and set them to negative standings, before finally making a separate peace with BoB

Nevertheless it's an interesting post and a good read, even if a bit heavy on the metaphor side of things. Most of all, if it goes the way such threads usually do, it will ease the pain of working on a sunday afternoon while my alliance mates are fighting. Keep fighting this war both sides, interesting stuff is happening again (oh, and you evol dudes sent my greetings to Etherios if you see him online)

Edited by: Tzrailasa on 29/10/2006 16:33:36 Actually, I've been trying to think of WHY ASCN is failing so badly against BoB. I know all the usual explanations, more PVP experience, more SP, better equipment etc., plus of cause all the 'BoB are GM's', Haxors, etc., but when closely examined they don't really hold up. ASCN should with 5000 members be able to beat BoB's 1600 members!
Personally, I think the main difference is in the attitude and goals of the leadership of the 2 alliances. ASCN's leadership seem to think (please note that I have only their leaked blog's and morale speeches to go from) that they're great leaders, forging a mighty empire. BoB's leadership realise this is only a game, and are striving to give it's members the best gaming experience they can.
In a way it can be said that ASCN was created as an empire for it's own sake, while BoB just happened as a way to structure the game experience for it's members.
If you think about things in this way, it is quite easy to see why ASCN is failing. BoB pilots know that our 'leaders' are trying to give us the most fun game experience they can. That is why when we loose a ship, there is little whining, and soon the player is back in another ship. This ship will often be better fitted than the one lost since the player has learned a bit more since he fitted his last ship. An active ASCN player though, is being used to further the ambitions of ASCN and their leaders. He is loosing his ships, not for the reason of having fun in the game, but because someone else think they're forging an empire. After a few losses, he'll come back in smaller ships, and after a while, he'll not come back at all.
I think this all sums it up pretty well (if a bit rambling). In a way you can say that the accusations against the BoB leaders that they're GM's are actually true. Not GM's in the EVE sense of.c., but GM's in the AD&D Game-Master way. They're not 'empire leaders', but they structure the gameplay for hundreds of players so they all have the maximum enjoyment from their subscription money. ASCN's leadership seems to think that that they ARE 'empire leaders', and that is why ASCN lost this war before it even started.
---
On a completely different subject... Regarding the last couple of days fighting in GQ2 and H8-. Compliments to the ASCN pilots that showed up. You did ok with what you had, but really, climb out of those frigates and get into some BS (or cruisers at least). They're not that expensive. Also, realise that fighterbombing is a loosing tactic. It'll kill a ship here and there, but it'll never hinder us doing what we want.

Well, up until these last couple of days, I though ASCN might have a snowflakes chance in hell. After the loss of two systems, and no hint of an organized response to attempt to recapture, I must say they are going to start falling fast.
As each station falls, the pilots and corps that base there will lose considerable assets, and be forced to either adapt or leave. Not knowing the fate of the remaining stations isn't going to give them much incentive to reform in another system.
Props to BoB. You've become the largest ISK sink in EvE.

Edited by: Mace Ardguy on 29/10/2006 16:54:32 Looking at both ASCN and BoB's killboards right now (16:45hrs) 14 ASCN BSes and 7 BoB BSes dead, mostly in GQ2S.
In a similar time of day 1month ago I remember BoB had a 10:1 ratio when they were trying to take GQ2S.
From 10:1 ratio to 2:1 ratio in 4weeks...
... and from the rate of kills showing up, looks like ASCN is taking the fight back to Uncle BoB.
Thing is, can BoB improve faster than ASCN?
What does the next month hold?
I have a few mates in ASCN for inside gossip and a lot of popcorn to watch this unfold :)
Good luck to all involved :)

That is mostly because ASCN are not BRINGING in many BS anymore. They've changed tactics to use cheap frigates and fighters. What you'll not see from the killboard is the masses of fighters killed, each of which cost approx. 20m each.

True, but I was trying to think behind that, why BoB did have those. As said, I think is all falls back on the BoB 'leaders' aiming first of all on giving the best game experience to their members, where the ASCN leaders aim first of all at making ASCN (and themselves) great.

An excillent post and more true than some would think. ASCN have been fruitlessly hunting in Delve for a month attacking so called "BoB Slave" corps when what they realy needed to do was defend their home and attack BoB.
In doing so they've dragged in corps that would otherwise have nothing to do with the war and sadly to say have made a few enemies doing so that never would have been enemies.

this is sooooo true, i just wanna say, i left ASCN the "largest" alliance in eve with the "best" 0.0 systems to join BoB, and its the best decision i ever made (ingame btw i have a life ). BoB radio, structure, great corp buddies, and great leadership ( let me just wipe this brown stuff of my nose ) the bob experience rocks and there isn't a thing i wouldn't do (ingame) for a member of bob.
thats why we rule we're a family .

Well, PVP wise probably not, but in "teritorrial wars" i'd still think they ought to be able to do alot more than i've read about, for one thing supposedly having a huge cap fleet?
And im not taking any sides at all, im just a bit saddened that BOB seemingly is having a field day currently.

Its ok. Literate is the word you were going for and I think most people realized that, and realized that the global aspect of eve means man people using English as a 2nd or worse language.

I think most people who aren't mmo players would see what any given EVE player is doing as going beyond "only a game" (whatever that means), and certainly that most 0.0 alliances go beyond what would normally be considered "only a game."
But the rest of your point is solid, leaders should be the servants of the people, not the other way around.
