EvE is all about the blobs now.
That all depends on what you define as "Eve". The Game of Empires, aka Territorial Conquest, is very much about; Power, Projection of Power, Technological Supremacy, Diplomacy, Industrial Might, and Control of the Media (to name a few).
In hind sight, DMGI and RFM were very good at what we did, and we worked together very well. We had no territorial ambitions, we didn't want to play that game - and we had fun in what we did*. But we did have to take our ball and move to a different court from time to time as the Game of Empires players moved their pieces.
There will always be entities in this game that either aren't ready to put their piece on the board yet/ever, or donÆt care about it, and as long as they are enjoying their time playing the game there will be a place in the game for them that don't include "blobs".
It is merely the delusional nature of those entities who think they actually are playing the Game of Empires that complain about Eve going the way of the blob. They are making excuses for why their piece on the board is insignificant because they lack in many of the areas I mentioned previously.
In the end, if you define Eve as any of the thousands of ways to play this game by any other definition of the game other than through the Game of Empires, Eve is most certainly not about blobs. If you think you want to play in the Game of Empires, make sure you are true to yourself** about your capabilities in all the appropriate areas before you venture forth, else youÆll never grow.
* - I never understood why PugwashÆs public postings suggested we cared or thought we mattered in the Game of Empires. Well that is not entirely true: he always thought that it would **** BoB off enough for them to make a mistake when dealing with him, I always shook my head at that notion. Robbie, myself and the rest of the guys always knew we were not playing that game and we were having a blast doing what we were doing. All in all, the post-mortem of VC will come another day, I merely intended to illustrate my familiarity with the subject matter.
