Why did ASCN get defeated?

The bottom line is very simple, BoB had more fighters that understood how to fight in the worst game mechanics I have seen since EvE was in Beta!!

[...]

Why did ASCN give up the fight?

Most players in ASCN asked themselves 1 question.
ôIs it worth it to sit in front of my computer for 16 hours a day simply to win a battle in a game?ö

The answer for 99% of our members was NO. The answer for 99% of BoB members was YES. It really is that simple.

[...]

Their only goal is Control and they donÆt care how they get it. It is simple math, when 1 organization is willing to be online 80% of each day to achieve their goals and the other simply cannot, the lesser is going to loose, plain and simple.

Right enough with the bollox.

1. ASCN got stomped because you deliberately choose to avoid any war so we could be ready for Kali, even at the cost of losing more and more pvpers (by your own admirssion) and the result was a player base that hasnt had a single fleet fight in the last 6 months.

2. When choosing who should have filled your power vacuum when you were busy in RL you choose the two people with the biggest egoes in ascn: McCreedy and Drakma, resulting in long painfull hours just trying to deal with command.

3. For month the few pvpers of ascn have been asking to use our wealth (the 3x 10/10 plexes, the large set of t2 bpos, the refinery taxes) to make the alliance more attractive for other pvpers to join. At no point there was a program to get cheaper stuff to pvpers than to random dudes of the alliance except for the very end when Prometheus (respect to the man) apparently started cashing out of his own pockets to provide cheap t2 ships.

4. The CEOs. In the end, with no big wars for so many months keeping the corps stuck together, it was clear the CEOs were not ready to trust and work with each other - and that is what really put the last nail in the coffin in the war because all of a sudden there was 10 people in gang defending paragon soul, even when the regular pvpers where online. And when you asked those pvpers why they wer roaming on their own instead of joining the defence gangs you'd be told they were sick of the general noobishness of the mixed ascn gangs and that they wud be more efficient in their corp only gangs roaming around.

CYVOK: I think you are one of the best leaders of eve, but you made a few mistakes and should accept them imho.
