Only BOB can save ISS now and somehow I don't think they want to go toe to toe with D2 who have been building thier fleets quietly up north for several months now and are fresh for war.
Bobs has just come off from a heavy campaign with ASCN and I do not believe they are in any shape to take on a epeen of D2's size just now.
As for the shareholders, I expect they will put pressure on ISS to stop this pointless bravado style of space cowboism and get back to making money.
I would assume to appease IAC, D2 and friends ISS would be require to give away assets - thats if they are not taken by force.
Whatever happens I think the shareholders are set to give ISS a harder time than any of thier enemies. ISS launced a new IPO recently that 500billion one, they've said no shareholder money has been used in the hiring of mercs, if that is so then even if ISS falls the money can be returned to shareholders.
This will need to be clarified as the money affects a large number of the playerbase.
In any event, ISS needs to eat humble pie and make peace while it still has a chance.
What a rediculous statement.
We have no form of bravado style space cowboyism. ISS doesn't own any assets, and the IPO is totally independant of the stations. We have gone out of our way to protect our stations yes, however we have never initiated hostilities of tried to join in the alliance politics in 0.0.
Look, if a couple of stations get captured then the holding company gets liquidated. If all of the stations get captured, each of the station holding companies are liquidated, however there is no affect to the ISS IPO, since that isn't used to build or maintain stations.
ISS would continue to function, continue to run the IPO, trading and building to pay the dividends.
The only people who would be hurt are the shareholders. These are the people who invested in the station holding companies, and who are defended by ISS to the best of our ability.

... as D2 only care about BoB staging an assault out of one of the Pure Blind outposts.
BoB could base out of the NPC stations in Pure Blind.
D2 could base out of the NPC station in Stain or Fountain.
Shhh. Next you'll be mentioning that the new charter means that people staging out of one of our outposts would lose their docking rights.

Personally, I've always thought ISS is one of the coolest things in the game, and I always talk about them when I want to drag someone into the game. That said, it's quite obvious that they lost the north when they suddenly decided they wanted their e-peen to grow, as the most likely result as we can see is it'll end up cut.
When has ISS ever had an Epeen? We're a bunch of industrialists 
You better go look at Lilan Kahn's posts a little closer then. Due to his mouth you have any Axe that will follow me (which is pretty good share of Axe) into war with you guys as well. Maybe next time he will appologize instead of continue to run his mouth.
You listen to Lilan? Thats just unhealthy.
That is like attacking ISS over Butterdog.

Even if you would take each and every ISS outpost - people would still throw their money after us. Because making cash is what we are good at. You can't ruin Microsoft or Oracle or Apple by blowing up a random software shop. It's not going to happen.
Shooting at an idea is just a waste of ammunition.
You are wrong.... nobody is gonna give you money for an outpost ever again, certainly not a 'neutral' one. And about wasting ammunition... you simply do not understand how EVE works. The very ammunition that is being shot at you does not exist, it is a metaphor for displeasure with your ideology.. so infact your ideology is being shot down by another ideology.
And that ideology is Might is Right. You no longer have the might so you will get eliminated. The irony ofc is that you tried to play that game with IAC but it fell flat on its face.
You bring your spreadsheets to EVE and expect all to bow down in awe at your commercial entepreneurship. You must be out of your mind. EVE is about pew pew and power mongering.
You sir are wrong. ISS makes money for people, money they don't have to make for themselves. People love having money made for them.
Even if we lose all of the stations there will be 500Bn isk being managed by ISS through the IPO, which is totally seperate from the stations. We're a capitalist bug, and we can't be squished that easily

But when all is said and done.. in this game that we play for fun... you have proven to be more trouble than you are worth.
The attack of the spreadsheets has failed.... the last carebear managed entity in 0.0 is drawing its final breath.
Nah, in the game we play for fun, many people don't want to spend their time ratting and mining out in 0.0, they want to spend it shooting stuff. We make that money for them, and they like us doing it (even people who hate us have shares)
