hardly as most of allies don't give a jackshit about that space of yours

If by "here to stay" you mean you'll sit in highsec till IWI gets tired of diddling you, then take some space in the ass end of nowhere, sure, you'll "stay".

We are far removed from the days of a new super power. You don't honestly think guys like NC. or PL are going to remain part of a 50K sea of "soft" blues do you? Or the ~10K pilots made up by the 5 Low Sec groups forming Voltron? Horde won't be part of a new super power, they pick fights for PL to escalate too, same with Waffles.

If you have any CONCORD LP, it might be a good idea to sell now, It's a good chance it's value is about to diminish a bit (probably not much though, CONCORD LP is pretty resilient because to can be converted). It happens any time there is a war (which shifts people out of null and into incursions) or nerf that affects null ratting.

Yes.

IWI stated that it is now paying for total war against the Goons, courtesy of Mittens trying to get an angle on IWI out of game.

You can read the article here.

The Mittani and GSF leadership aren't going this year afaik. I'm sure plenty of goons are going, but they might not be goons by the time it actually goes around.



Since, you know, we're all busy burning them to the ground.

If you want to own space, defend it or die trying, otherwise, stay in high/low.

It is a direct reply to theirs previous posturing. When you beat your chest and call yourself invincible and then, when threatened, you hide in stations, people start to call you names.
Technically they had the strength to defend, after all they weren't 40K strong? But that was a paper number apparently, not their real strength.
It seen that the active muster is a tiny fraction of that.

If that is true it is logic for them to hide and try to save their personal assets, but that show them as a paper tiger, and that is doing a lot of damage to the Goons reputation.

Okay, does anyone have numbers how much IWI invested? IWI may be really rich but they don't have some ISK printing machine. They have to maintain their normal business so they have limits how much money they can spend on the war.

Eh, iwi paid us 15b a day in TISHU to just blops SMA.

That's a fair point except for one thing, IWI have no reason to wardec anyone unless they specifically go out of their way to **** IWI off just like SMA did. Lenny only went ahead with the merc program because Eep and Ironbank said they would back him and why would they do that if he decided to dec someone who has done nothing to affect IWI in any way.

Youve been obsessing so much over the fact they CAN do this thing that you've been ignoring the factors governing if they WOULD do that thing. I shouldnt have to say this but IWI is in the business of making money and its the height of bad business practice to go around blowing up your customers when thats your overall objective. There has to be an overwhelmingly good reason to go against their interests like that and outside of cases where people deliberately poke the bear I just dont see that happening.

For the PH defense timer, I saw NC., Tishu, Spectre, REKTD (obviously), PL and TEST. How do you figure we're leaving them high and dry?
