If your tempted to flame, to e-peen beat, or to poo poo the idea. Please leave the thread now.
Like many others I have heard rumours that D2 are actively napping, in preperation for Invasion of Bob home space....
We had a good sized MSN discussion this morning, looking at the potential allies for each side. if you are involved in planning this, if it indeed is being planned, then dont post here, or post mis information :), this thread is for speculation (KIA are no different to anyone else, we will be forced to choose sides if this conflict erupts)
I will list what i think, others can throw in opinions on those lists and additions to them.
So
BoB + Allies... For Sure: MC, FiX, Xelas Potential: LV, V, ISS
D2 + Allies For sure: Morsus Mihi, Razor, Kith of Venal, IRON Potential: RedSwarm, AAA, IAC, Freedom, ASCN, POS
The line ups look in favour of the agressors, but of course its MUCH harder to attack than to defend. The british in me wants to see the underdog win, but the realist in me sees only one winner.
I suggest that this thread isnt for those protagonists that will be involved, but more those that would like to express an opinion in who would be victor in such a conflict.
And what a conflict it would be... not sure the rumours are true though, if only.
(flame suit on :(, hopefully won't need it)

Post with main.
It'd be an intresting fight to be honest, both have very capable pvp sides, and they industrial backing that few can match.
Honestly, it may not even happen, it'd be intresting.

Whilst I appreciate your sentiment Adam, the rumours are (they have been started by some internal spie threads etc) that D2 are napping up, creating pacts, to in fact invade BoB space, not the other way round.

Sounds to me like you want BoB to invade D2 space so your corporation can rent Venal.

Well.. for this thread to turn into something interesting, I think we need some more evidence that this is indeed on the cards.
So Eddz... would you mind sharing with the eager viewer, what exactly makes you think such a war is afoot?
One could conclude that the IAC<>ISS war is the catalyser for such a conflict.... its certainly the hottest war happening atm. And already some of the protagonists you have mentioned in your lineup have weighed in.. mainly MC/FIX/RA/Goons/TCF/AAA.
But.. that does not mean D2 and BoB are about to swing blows at eachother... we could go another 6 months without anything major happening.
Yes IRON is down south harrasing FIX and E-R are in fountain....expeditionary forces perhaps? ... but its a quite a leap to suggest that a full scale D2<>BoB mobilisiation is forthcoming.
Obviously you must know something extra... care to share it?

Down adam, I know I've criticised D2 a fair bit in the past, but I personally cant wait for the fun to happy, I think D2's big projects are out of the way and they're looking for some fun (I know how much fun the old campagins were). I think personally, that d2 will have more friends, bob is more isolated than D2 is, and even if Bob is better than D2 - their friends definately aren't on the same level.
Note: MC is not considered a bob friend as they are bob alts -----------------------------------------------

Lets assume we have the evidence, for the sake of "fun" then, what do you think would happen if this was idd "on the cards".
The debate in KIA has raged all morning, with different people strongly arguing the case for each side, and idd each sides potential involvees.
I have no evidence that I am able to share, sorry, so you'll just have to do "conjecture and speculation" :)

napping everyone to stick it to someone usually doesnt work. Sure d2 can most likely mobilize the nap city the north has become but lets think for a second how effective this kind of invasion would be considering server stability and the duration it would take to really do serious damage.
Lets not forget that bob is different steel then i.e. ASCN for example.
As other posters stated i can forsee a roadtrip but i doubt d2 and allies would want to dedicate the next 6+ months to siege bob space.

boo... hiss...
k... well lets play anyways.. sounds fun.
Lets pretend this is actually gonna happen. And if so it would be all out war across EVE, no entity would be untouched by it. Thats for sure.
I think to make any kind of analysis one has to break the protagonists into power blocks that have their own political and military gravitational field.
Also I believe that such a war would not be only about D2 vs BoB, the protagonists on either side would use the war to further their own objectives.
So lets line up the power blocks: on one side D2, RAGooons, AAA and on the other BoB and LV.
K now... lets look at which of these already has their hands full with a raging war. LV and RAGoon are squared up and kind of neutralise eachother.
That leaves D2/AAA vs BoB. (note that i'm treating these as power blocks with their accompanying allies, just to simplify things)
K the key here is AAA imo.. they are the wildcard.... if AAA have already napped with D2, this whole thing *is* gonna happen.
And if D2+allies pull out all the stops and AAA play for keeps...... my conclusion is that BoB+tennants will get overrun.
What do you think about that Eddz?

I think two most likely things that might happen as a result of this big of a conflict would be...
1. In the short-term for mercs it'll seem like a wet dream but it'll eventually mean the death of the industry until it is resolved one way or the other. With something on this scale, you will have to pick your sides and stick with them through hell or high water.
2. The second and most horrendous thing will be what will happen to these forums. Whoring and trolling will reach new depths and depravities.

If AAA + D2 team up with RAGOON i see very little standing in their way.
If D2 extend their manufacturing to their new allies at a cheaper price (D2 is and allways has been the strongest manufacturing alliance ingame but don't take that as they are care bares because their not) then i have no doubt in my mind no matter what stands infront of them if it be BoB/MC/LV/FIX group, they D2 side will win without a doubt.
AAA alone would hurt bob beyond recognition, RAGOON would be a very big threat to bob solo, but with all three combined, BoB wouldn't stand a chance, since LV would be more concerned about their own home, whereas FIX/MC wouldnt have the numbers to stand up against AAA/D2/RAGOON. _________ My voice shall tear you asunder and show your vile ways. |

It's always funny to hear of D2 and Goon working together, but then in saying that D2 and AAA's relationship goes without saying and you ofc have a link with AAA and RA. So yea you never know.
I think in all honesty Goon and D2 would easily forget the past for the opportunity to take a genuine shot at BoB, however in my honest opinion it's not D2 nor Goon BoB will really sweat over, everyone keeps mentioning D2 and while they have a titan they've also sat up north and grown fat. What about the inshape AAA who've spent the past... well since their inception fighting Cap wars with AXE and them carebears they nicked Catch off.
Where as D2 has had a horrid time with Goonswarm and then with TCF, on both occastions underperforming from what many people expected from an alliance whom's heritage stems from G.
It probably will happen, but i don't view this as a D2 vs BoB thing, give the other alliances involved some credit especially the likes of RA/LV who've been fighting once of the most bitter and strategically advanced war for over a year now.
Need some salt, pop corn and maybe some nachos, although i cba with the nice salsa source cos it gives me a backside like the japanese flag.

I agree with you,
AAA alone would be more than a match for BoB imo.
They are more ruthless than bob and they do what it takes to win. _________ My voice shall tear you asunder and show your vile ways. |

imho D2 wont attack bob
However, i am sure BoB will attck them and this is where there could be a real fight. With its allies D2 may hold. D2 is alone not capable of fighting off a FULL bob invaasion imo. to many skilled pilots are no longer flying under the D2 banner. Although maybe i am just not up to date!
D2 will let BoB come to them and use the advantage of working in their own backyard.

Intriguing, well it certainly would be a fight of epic proportions now wouldn't it, one that would certainly be remembered in the history books. Personally I would love it, more pew pew = more fun and more entertainment for me and my alliance which is a good thing !!
As has been said, it's always the hardest being the aggressor, so I would hope whomever it was/is that does come, has a serious backbone and lasts longer than 3 months, can take losing and can backup there forum posturing with in-game actions......and prove it !
If it does happen then I expect nothing less.....

I think the interesting thing here is that this only works.. if D2 are the agressors....are they capable of it? who knows....
It only really makes sense if D2 initiates it.... lets face it BoB are going to have to micro-manage ASCN space for a little while. AAA have to mirco-manage ex-AXE space.
Neither of those is going to want to embark on operations on the other side of the galaxy for at least another couple of months... D2 has to do the legwork here.. if they don't, this is not going to happen.
If D2 don't make a move.. like soon.... they are gonna find BoB completely rested and in their backyard... and BoB on the offensive is much more dangerous than BoB defending, not because they are bad at defending but because they excel at offensive combat, its their bread and butter. I don't think there is a single entity in the game that can stand up to BoB on the offensive and certainly AAA aren't going to run up north to defend D2 space.
So if D2 want to enlist AAA's participation.. they have to move soon or not at all.
In conclusion.. either D2 go on the offensive or 3 months down the line they are going to have BoB all over them up north, the question is do D2 want an offensive war or a defensive one? And there is no way BoB is gonna let D2 sit in the north building Titans for ever.
