Excellent post.

We asked Mercenary Coalition to name their price, and they turned us down.
No. Cyvok didn't want us involved in this war anymore than BoB did. I've spoken to the leaders on both sides who have specifically stated that they would "rather win or lose on their own." I was told that ASCN didn't want us involved. I respected that then and I still do now.
Besides, we had other jobs already in the pipe so it's just as well.

Seleene, id rather not bring your dirty laundry out into the public, and i apologize for it, but hasn't Molle already threatened to take the MC stations if you don't help them with this war?
No, Aneu, I think it was more along the lines of, "Don't steal our kills. Go play somewhere else."
Don't believe me? Ask Molle. I'm sure he'll accept your convo instantly.

sucks that mc wont fight bob when other mercs will.
I'm sure once they see BoB loose stations and take heavy damage their tune will change.
I honestly won't care one way or the other. If you can destroy BoB, more power to you.
What part of this are people missing??
BoB didn't want us involved. ASCN wanted us to basically do anything but get involved. That seems pretty simple to me. 
With regard to other mercs fighting BoB - what exactly have they accomplished? Seriously? All of the damage combined has been little more than a speed bump that has done nothing to stop Molle's phallic-shaped steamroller from flattening everything in its path.
This is no disrespect to the corps in question, but ASCN has poured billions of ISK into merc corps which have not done a thing other than be an annoyance. I would be curious to see what the total damage done by merc corps against BoB versus the total damage done by ASCN against BoB.
Does anyone truly believe that MC vs. BoB would accomplish much more than that?
Mercs are shock troops. They are not a police force or anything even remotely close to a standing army. We go in, we destroy / take and then we leave. BoB is still building motherships and titans in their own backyard and still has one of the largest T2 BPO collections in EVE. Until someone of equal or greater size finds a way to stop BoB on their on terms, the pendulum will continue to swing.
ASCN had a better chance than most. Size, money and what was thought to be a competent PvP element. Gungan's original post is just stating the obvious: unless something changes very fast, they blew it. MC attacking BoB wouldn't have changed a **** thing.

this thread is no official ascn statement or opinion , so dont look on it like that , its just 1 man's opinion and gunga next time post this **** on ascn forums not eve-o , thank u.
I thought that Gunga is ASCN's official representative/diplomat on the forum? Has that changed?
It may just be an opinion, but it's the opinion of someone who is the spokesperson for your alliance. Gungan has always been a straight shooter and it was a **** fine choice to put him there. I've re-read Gungan's original post and it's got to be one of the most straight up posts made since the start of this whole mess. Agree or disagree with it, there's not a hint of sarcasm or bitterness in it. Why are so many flaming him for it?
