Edited by: Wylker on 12/02/2007 22:03:27 So many people seem to think this conflict in the south is going to be the end of life as we know it in eve. Unless goonswarm unleash their dread/titan fleet, I highly doubt that will happen. Now, I am sure that with the current size of the playerbase, that this will be the most involved war that Eve has ever seen. However, I wanted to put some historical perspective on the conflict.
I am sure everyone who reads this enjoys doin a bit of forum whoring, I'd suggest starting here:

Its like a carbon copy of pages 1-15, but from 3 years ago. Enjoy :)

my question is this: If BoB wins, what happens then?
Will we be faced with Empire and BoB space?

Will it be in New Edens best intrest to have BoB control basicly all of 0.0? Leaving the player base with two choices, BoB or Empire.

its closer than you think. There are many smaller alliance emerging with little experneice with 0.0 empire running. Now once the big alliances are destroyed, what chances do the smaller alliances have at fighting a super power?

Since BoB pretty much IS CCP and CCP is concord i dont see any change other then the whole of EVE will be empire.

Exactly my fear. Just look @ the alliance map, how many regions do they have? If BoB is successful, and able to convert the areas of conflict to Bob, whats left? Not much, for us 1 year old corps, and new alliances. We have to either pay BoB rent or live in the empire.

OMG, are you all retarded or sumit?
Can't you all see whats going on, are you all living in a dream world?
It's clear to see that BoB play for PVP, there not like RA and trying to farm the Isk or D2 and NAP the world to death. they want to go fight stuff, why the hell do you think there giving D2 more than enough time to set up.
I belive that if BoB ever took all of 0.0 and for the record why would they but lets pretend they did, what is left for them then?
Get a grip you diluded bunch of muppets for the love of god.
Can you all please stop starting stupid threads and do something about it or STFU.

If BoB took the whole 0.0, there would be too many homeless pvp'ers in their opposition, who they could never control. Those would probably reside in NPC 0.0 everywhere and roam into BoB territory with gank squads and fleets, take down poses here and there. I think it's just uncontrollable, except all pvp'ers join them, witch is never going to happen. ( And BoB doesn't want that of course either ) They had to defend at too many different places at once every day.

Are you saying it is in BoB's interst to allow alliances to grow? Homeless PvPrs and a organized oppisition are two diffrnet things, are they not?

Are you saying it is in BoB's interest to allow alliances to grow? Homeless PvPrs and a organized oppisition are two diffrnet things, are they not?
And you think BoB would enjoy that ? No concrete target ? Bob likes to attack, but there would be nothing to attack. They had to defend against an enemy that gave them no real target. Like fighting shadows everyday, a war that you can't really win.
btw although BoB is surely the strongest alliance ingame, the can't handle/control the rest of EVE. RA have shown that a few hundred people can already be a pain in the arse and appear uncontrollable over time. Imagine more RAs doing the same thing in different areas of the map. BoB would puke after some months.

The question arose only due to the fact that they are currently trying to eliminate their oppisition, right? What happens if they are successful? If they win the current war, who is left? I am sure BoB likes to fight, but to say they would never want to 'rule', for thier love of fighting, seems a bit of a reach. Weither they want the real estate or not, they have been aquiring it. I do agree total control may not be possible, but ensuring their the only 'empire' is well within their grasp, IMO.

If everything failed and BoB became the only empire and many players were unhappy about that, then CCP would rebalance the game after some time, so that BoBs empire would become more vulnerable.

This conflict wasn't really chosen by BoB more forced on them at a time when they really wanted to be shooting D2 (speculation on my part). Given the choice of seing the possible destruction of LV and the disapearence of a buffer zone/meatshield whatever you want to call it i'd probbaly have done the same thing they have.
Also dont forget this conflict between LV and friends v Ragoon and the bandwageners didn't start just as Bob joined in it had allready been going for nearly 2 weeks (its been going a lot longer i know this is just the current phase i'm refering to) before that when Goons broke the pos agreement.
usual disclaimer crap applies

IMO, BoB's space would be far less secure if the rest of EvE had nothing to lose. The primary reason nobody has really tried to take it in the past is the fear of retribution. If you invade BoB, and fail, you will have them knocking on your doorstep shortly there after.
Once that fear of loss is gone, and all you stand to lose is the ship you're currently flying, you really have no reason to not attack them.

There will always be someone for BoB to pew pew.
If there are no more hostile targets for BoB to shoot, they will simply reset standings, and go from there.

Well, don't know, what's going on there. But if tranquility ever gets into a state, where one group gets so powerful that they are truly untouchable, then CCP needs to rebalance at some point. Otherwise many people leave the game. But we are far from that point imho, otherwise I'd fly against BoB myself. In my eyes there is a lot of paranoia around.
There is the biggest coalition flying against them that has ever been formed in EVE. If some of them are still paranoid, then it seems a bit retarded to me. Then maybe at least those people deserve to get their ass handed for incompetence and whinage

Im interested to see what happens at the end of this war. I personally think that there will be alot of alliance in need to get some isk, ships and members back.
People will lose ships. People will lose POS's. People will take breaks. Non PVP corps will leave the alliances. In the end, im pretty sure the alliance will be smaller. But life will go on. Could BoB end as people seek new challenges? Who knows...
