Chris TheNinjaPirate Imperial Academy	Posted - 2006.11.03 00:09:00 - [1] Edited by: Chris TheNinjaPirate on 03/11/2006 00:09:46 I'm new to the game compared to most of you... so I'm not really up on my history. Can anyone explain: why does everyone hate Band of Brothers? I've been reading and reading and reading through the threads lately. Band of brothers seems to have no friends, yet they stand strong. Every alliance does war with other alliances, and yet no alliances seem to hate each other as much as everyone hates the Band of Brothers. Why? EDIT: noobcorp isn't showing , fixing, just a sec
DB Preacher Reikoku Band of Brothers	Posted - 2006.11.03 00:20:00 - [2] Because we are the best in the game at everything... including telling people about it dbp Caldari Alliance PVP Championship Winner Current RKK Ranking: (PSCAL6) Proficient Short Tanto
Sypher313 VentureCorp Imperial Republic Of the North	Posted - 2006.11.03 00:23:00 - [3] Edited by: Sypher313 on 03/11/2006 00:24:32 cuz they took and or like to hoard all teh dern cookies and cookie dough!!!! definetly not nice!!! er now being semi serious, they have by their nature beaten up on most of the EvE Verse at one time or another and they R trixie bobits, They intentionally attempt to get on peeps nerves on EvE-O when at war etc and intentionally cause internal strife in their "targets". Not many like those that punch you in the face and point out your short-comings to everyone in public. Other thatn that nice bunch of chaps i suppose so ye somtin like that i suppose. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Dark Shikari Caldari Imperium Technologies Firmus Ixion	Posted - 2006.11.03 00:26:00 - [4] Its not that everyone hates them. Its just that those who hate them are quite vocal about it -[23] Member- Awesome new space games site, from the editor of E-ON!
Kyguard Fire Mandrill Astrophobics	Posted - 2006.11.03 00:31:00 - [5] You either hate em or you love em and suck up to em , but I do use 'hate' selectively since you really gotta be a complete idiot to hate in a game for the reasons that is BoB === It's great being Amarr, aint it?(tm) [Insert badass sig to match ego here]
Chris TheNinjaPirate Imperial Academy	Posted - 2006.11.03 00:46:00 - [6] That's the thing that I really don't get though. EVERYONE sucks up to someone, unless they ARE that someone. People suck up to everyone of the large alliances - and it doesn't even seem that BOB is the biggest, they're just good at what they do - and they're not alone or anything like that. So there's all this hating and finger pointing going on, but at the end of the day, the finger pointers should be pointing their fingers right back at themselves.
Ysabelle nKataros Evolution Band of Brothers	Posted - 2006.11.03 00:51:00 - [7] largely jealousy. Having lived outside of BoB and considered them a bunch of imperialistic glory hounds, and subsequently joined BoB and found they're a bunch of anarchist joyriders, I have an interesting perspective. SirMolle once said he wanted to conquer all of EVE. I think he was lying. Who would we fight then? The simple fact is, we love to shoot. Shoot people enough and they'll hate you for it. Shoot enough people and they'll tell their friends to hate you too. shrugs BoB: When we have fleet battles, our killboard crashes

Coupo Evolution Band of Brothers	Posted - 2006.11.03 00:56:00 - [9] Edited by: Coupo on 03/11/2006 00:56:09 we dont go around asking for peoples dinner money ill have you know incidently, you still need to pay up for last week or its pounding time round the back of the bike sheds again! tries to look as menacing as a 2ft dwarf can I Shoot first, ask questions about your veldspar mining technique later
Lord Abbadon Gallente Aliastra	Posted - 2006.11.03 00:58:00 - [10] well as i recall it bob was nice guys before, some months ago. but then they started to blow everyone up north didnt mather wich alliance the player was in. oh did i mention they hijack every forum post with their ego? :) EVE domination. The same old dream. Our asylums are full of people who think they're Naploeon. Or God.

Dracolich North Star Networks	Posted - 2006.11.03 01:05:00 - [11] Are BoB hated? Nobody hates anybody in Eve. Some may dislike others. Those who are true enemies to entities such as BoB, love to dislike them, thus they actually love them. If BoB were truely hated by most in Eve, they would actually be wardecced by most of Eve citizens - which they don't. On the other end, BoB don't hate anybody either I reckon - since I guess as a BoB member here said; we love to shoot. Thus they love their targets. Summa summarum: PVP is about loving people, not hatred. Hope OP finds this useful.
Nate D Priory of Saints	Posted - 2006.11.03 01:19:00 - [12] Yeah I'll go with BoB are pretty much the best of the best in PvP yet they lack the social skills to make them liked :-P... You should totally watch the Alliance Tourny in Dec. You'll see... I think BoB will win again... or atleast I hope so... I think if they were to lose... they'd lose their fear factor... I like BoB and how they have everyone watching their every move... it makes for really good stories in the end. -NateÖ --- Still waiting for CCP to hire me...! They don't have a Dev named Nate yet... Their hire button must have lagged out... Don't worry... SoonÖ
Kryztal Caldari Black Nova Corp Band of Brothers	Posted - 2006.11.03 02:18:00 - [13] Only noobs bring hate into a online game ....
Morris Falter The Collective Against ALL Authorities	Posted - 2006.11.03 02:29:00 - [14] Some nasty comments from certain quarters doesn't reinforce their image either... and yes, hate is a strong word for a game, but then, have you ever played "Risk" or "Diplomacy"? People get stabbed, I hear.. -- Collective: Ghost Wing
Randay 0utbreak	Posted - 2006.11.03 02:31:00 - [15] I hate BOB because they never call the next day.
Kin Hanyerec Reikoku Band of Brothers	Posted - 2006.11.03 02:32:00 - [16] Edited by: Kin Hanyerec on 03/11/2006 02:35:30 Originally by: DB Preacher Because we are the best in the game at everything... including telling people about it dbp I disagree here dbp. We are not good enough telling people about HOW MUCH WE ARE BETTER THAN THEM : after 3 years of hammering the same things on those forums still they dont get it. We have to improve, practice makes perfect.

Chris TheNinjaPirate Imperial Academy	Posted - 2006.11.03 03:38:00 - [19] Originally by: Powder anyone have a GNW history handy? sure that answear alot of questions for the fellow Yes... history essays/documents/articles... please!! The "poltics" of the "Eve-verse" are intensely interesting... and w.r.t. the guy that mentioned Diplomacy earlier - yeah! The empire building aspect of this game makes me think of Diplomacy!
Plim Gallente Celestial Apocalypse Insurgency	Posted - 2006.11.03 04:01:00 - [20] Originally by: Chris TheNinjaPirate Edited by: Chris TheNinjaPirate on 03/11/2006 00:09:46 I'm new to the game compared to most of you... so I'm not really up on my history.

Every alliance does war with other alliances, and yet no alliances seem to hate each other as much as everyone hates the Band of Brothers. Why? EDIT: noobcorp isn't showing , fixing, just a sec I assume that a lot of people dislike (maybe hate is a bit strong?) BoB, because a vocal minority of their forum crowd have unfortunately given them a bad rep by acting like obnoxious, arrogant kids who have no sportsmanship and no respect for anyone. Most other entities in the game do not seem to have as many members that act like this (what some might describe as a forum blob) and are therefore not as disliked. I don't think it actually has much to do with their actions in game just the unfortunate attitude dysfunction. I'm sure the majority of them are nice people though. ----------------- Victory or death! ... knitting is also an option.

INZi coracao ardente	Posted - 2006.11.03 05:11:00 - [22] "hello. my name is bob alt. i need more attention please"
Chris TheNinjaPirate Imperial Academy	Posted - 2006.11.03 05:22:00 - [23] Edited by: Chris TheNinjaPirate on 03/11/2006 05:23:32 Originally by: INZi "hello. my name is bob alt. i need more attention please" THIS is what I'm talking about. This person has no reason whatsoever to believe that I have anything to do with the Band of brothers. But - in order to bolster her sense of self superiority, she must make up some sort of conspiracy theory. Exactly like pathetic conspiracy theorists in real life, anyway. It is people like this who make me think that the Band of Brothers aren't the ones that are *******s - everyone else is simply jealous and too pathetic to do anything about it besides whine and cry. EDIT: thanks for the link, Nifel
Beringe Raptus Regaliter	Posted - 2006.11.03 05:52:00 - [24] Not everybody hates BOB. But, being biggest (where it counts) and most powerful, they end up on the pointy end of a lot of criticism for things that they do. It's been that way the entire history of EVE. Stain Alliance. Curse Alliance. Even Fountain Alliance. Everyone who has ever been the big dog on the block has always been criticized. And, as DB Preacher points out, it doesn't help that BOB are vocal about their own successes. But they're no worse than CA in that regard. ------------------------------------------- "Never underestimate the power of language." --Daitan Beringe, honorary director in charge of bottles--
00tricky Reikoku Band of Brothers	Posted - 2006.11.03 06:03:00 - [25] Check INZi's corp history. It is likely that BoB is a sore subject for him/her. Not everyone is a fan of blatant truth.

Not everyone is a fan of blatant truth. and not the fact that your 10 billion chest beating forum wh/res post every day about your "superiority" and "greatness". perhaps that might put a grin on my face every time i see a BOB-thread on these forums? but sure. threw it out there. u know the truth. and to the ninja bloke. what do you expect off people when some nub called "Chris TheNinjaPirate" posts about BOB?
Nate D Priory of Saints	Posted - 2006.11.03 06:13:00 - [28] OP noob dude... you might find this link useful for understanding some of the player-made history of eve http://eve-history.net -NateÖ --- Still waiting for CCP to hire me...!

Well, I would expect people to think that I am a very big "Weebl and Bob" fan. Aside from that, I don't really care what people think. I do, however, take note of the fact that most of the folks who have taken their time to constructively reply to my humble thread are members of the Band of brothers. Thank you - for helping a noob understand what he is getting into when he stops carebearing and starts PVPing.
