So the theme of the game is a universe. Realistically more of a star cluster.
So where does the term World War fit in here?

Given our RL history roots, I'd say it is quite apropriate.

1st WW was between european countries for colonies over the world. It includes Africa, Asia, maybe some islands in seas. Not sure about Americas.
2nd WW involved Europe, Japan, battles in Africa, USA, battles in Pacific Ocean islands, etc...
Eve Online: the war happens (by Mittani words) between sovless alliances and sov-holding coalition in the North of the map. It is not 100% true but has some merits. The war is not about taking space. MBC version: this war is about destroying goons. Again: no relation to the whole World. I'm not sure that currently EVe Online will see big changes should goons disappear tomorrow. Add here that many players just come there for kills and many groups do not even participate.

There are multiple inhabited worlds in New Eden, and those that are located in Nullsec (including planetside colonies and planetary industry compounds (a.k.a. PI Command Centers)) are managed and maintained by the Sovereign System, which itself is supported by the ownership of the Fluid Router Array (iHub) that allows FTL Communications between those Nullsec systems and the rest of the Cluster. This is how CONCORD keeps track of who owns what in EVE.
This war is indeed a World War in the context of New Eden, since it is a war for the control of the worlds kept by the Imperium and their allies. A purge if you will, of all Imperium. The Bee part is due to the common heraldic association of the "Fat Bee" cartoon with the Goonswarm Federation and their allies of the Imperium. Hence the name.
I mean, really, unless you ignore the certain liberties taken on how the culture of the EVE players and the game lore intertwine, you are going to have a hard time. No other MMO comes close to how much power we have as players over the lore and general story of this game, and that comes at the cost of having dank memes and propaganda be part of our EVE history.

This thread is the reason normal folks think that those of us who play games are both crazy and stupid lol. The name is just a silly play on the phrase "World War 3" (in the same way the movie/book World War Z did it) because Goons use a bee for their logo. It's all in good fun because the Goons are at the center of this war.
If the name is bothering you, you got way more problems than a video game war. |

Ironically iirc its actually also possibly the 3rd great war in eves history where the ruling "class" was usurped in some sense of the word by the united new eden citizenry.
It also has a nice ring to it and so humanity tends to memorize and remember things that come naturally to the mind or the tongue. Personally I love it.

The world the capsuleers live in is called New Eden, so World War Bee (named after the fat insect of one of the participants) fits it quite exact.

What Jack says - to a degree at least. My issue with this is not so much the "world" part, but the "bee" part. It implies it's all about Goonswarm Federation when it's not. Would be the same as calling it "World War Bastion", "World War Northerncoalitiondotte" or calling the Second World War "World War Japan". Calling it "World War Monkey" would be more accurate than this.
I understand it's a wordplay, and I am kind of fine with this (it's better than "The Easter War" in any case), but it's also disrespectful and inaccurate. |

Name ist Schall und Rauch, Goethe - Faust
Neuntausend, names of wars change as time goes on (remember the "war to end all wars") as people and historians reevaluate what occurred, and they continue to shape our perceptions of those events. Same will be with the "World War Bee". Imho, they named it not with a disrespectful meaning, imho "World War Bee" was meant to be a superlative.

12 year olds would probably try making up some pompous name, like they would try to sound adult. We can just drop this manner, as we know we are here to have fun, not to be an adult. That is escapism. Basically everything with word bee that have some connotation to a conflict would pass. Like for example Bees knees massacre.

Although now it has turned into more of a general uprising fuelled by hatred despite mercenaries still playing a large role. For now something like Northern War, or perhaps War of the Betrayer considering how big a role the turning of CO2 played in the events.

Yea, "World War" as in reference to World War 1 and World War 2.
I can see the similarities, oh no wait, where is the world.
Oh, in case this eludes you, world in this context refers to a war on a planetary scale. |

These are the names that stay. Not because they are accurate but because they cling to the brain cells because they are weired. Take any advertisment you remember and think about WHY you remember this one out of 10.000+. Its the same reason. |

It's so unfair. All we wanted to do was rent out low sec and cull the weak. Hopefully history will remember us as the benevolent overlords we were. Toppled by peasant hordes out of jealousy for our wealth and beauty.
The very sun of heaven seemed distorted when viewed through the polarising miasma welling out from this sea-soaked perversion, and twisted menace and suspense lurked leeringly in those crazily elusive angles of carven rock where a second glance shewed concavity after the first shewed convexity.

The very sun of heaven seemed distorted when viewed through the polarising miasma welling out from this sea-soaked perversion, and twisted menace and suspense lurked leeringly in those crazily elusive angles of carven rock where a second glance shewed concavity after the first shewed convexity.

You failed, dredging an alliance name out of the trash doesn't mean you recovered. Only you used the name again.

They prefer the term meat shield. When your usefulness is done, well look at the Space Monkeys among others. They just don't make good meat shields anymore.

Anyone left now hasn't been subscribed for months. Well, there is one.
It's why goons want to bring over corps into GSF. It gives them the unsubscribed numbers for better propaganda. |

He makes a good point actually. Remember this is the same alliance that not too many years ago decided the best way to get their hands on a capital fleet was to send PLEX to the CEO so he could fly them to Jita in a Kestrel.

IMHO, there is only one way to safe SMA from fading away into obscurity and that is to severe all ties to the Goons! Mitler doesn't give a shyte about you, they sent you to the Outer Ring to die, simple as that! It's better to die making a last stand fighting with the allies against the Emporium than fade away and only be remembered as the meatshield the Goons looked down and laughed at. Mitler and his cronies never gave a shyte about their "valued allies", why should you give a shyte about them! Show the EVE community that SMA is more than incompetent retards like Winet. Don't just die in the Outer Ring, join the fight against Mitler and his turd reich and become an asset to the community! Get rid of the old and cancerous that plagued SMA for to long and forge a new SMA!

SHould still be up on reddit, I'm not going to link it because it does contain email communications with CCP Manifest.
tl;dr Mittani is threatening CCP staff with negative press over the bee backgrounds and the name of the war.

#WorldWarBee Mate, do a little bit of research before trying to be all smug. I make almost all of my isk (and that's a lot - if I liquidated it and bought plex for subs I'd die of natural causes before my sub runs out) doing industry and trade in highsec because it's ludicrously unbalanced, making nearly none in nullsec, so where we live is completely irrelevant to me. Outer ring is actually good because the logistics make it cheaper and mean I can haul directly with NPC alts.
The funny thing is, this war has in fact increased my income pretty heavily, especially with 1ronbank "teaching us a lesson" by buying out all my overpriced machariels in Jita.
Not all of us are so poor that we need to beg Gevlon to replace the cormorant fleets we welp.

You guys are constantly telling us that Mittens doesn't care about us, etc, like suddenly we're going to break down in tears because the leader of a group we were allied with for mutual benefit doesn't put our survival before his own? It makes no sense. We were in the Imperium because we like the players and we benefited from the infrastructure. Now things have changed, we've suffered a loss and we need to rebuild independently, so we will. At no point has any of it been about Mittens caring about us.
I think the issue comes down to you believing the propaganda that we're pets, that we exist solely to assist goons, so getting a pat on the head and a cookie is what we strive to achieve. When you look at it from reality though, that our membership of the Imperium was primarily based on our our own self-interest, those ideas you push about look rather ridiculous.
And believe me if I had to choose between siding with goons and siding with the summer kids from reddit, goons win hands down. "Dank memes" don't really interest me much.

Dude, please. Unless you're Widget's alt or Widget's husband -- which could be true, absolutely -- you have no more way of knowing what the directorate of SMA thought about the Goons than any other line member, including me. And the vast majority of SMA didn't think about the Goons like that.
And if you do have special insight into what goes on in the minds of those at the very top, and what you've just described is that, then I'm going to call you all out right here and now for being cowards and hypocrites for keeping the Goons blued after "leaving" the Imperium.
Lucas Kell wrote: And believe me if I had to choose between siding with goons and siding with the summer kids from reddit, goons win hands down. "Dank memes" don't really interest me much.
Nor me. About the "dank memes" that is. I'm nearly 50 -- half of what these youngsters say is cute; the other 25% is image macros made up on the spot, the other 25% may or may not be true memes. "Dank" is a word that we used to describe musty basements or exceptionally good buds of weed.
That's why I didn't flip sides on the spot. I did so after over a month of handwringing after leaving SMA. When I finally joined Horde, it wasn't because of "dank memes." It was because I decided I like what they do -- helping out newbeans -- and because I finally decided I agreed with the cause.

It's not as shallow as you're trying to make it. And yet most of the anti-Imperium guys spend 99% of their time posting them. If I flipped sides I'd have to block half of my allies so I didn't have to see that. I'd much rather go down in flames with the players I have played with for years than flip sides to hang out with the reddit crew.
And mate, horde are PLs defense wing. You're a PL meatshield. Having no entry requirement or basic security does mean you get a lot of new players but it doesn't mean you are helping them out. It's the zero effort way of padding your numbers.

Imperium = CFC= Imperium, where's the difference? You can name shyte also poop, schei+ƒe, ****, excrement, dung and so on and so forth, it still has a brown consistency and stinks.

You didn't answer my question. Imperium=CFC=Imperium where is the difference? Renaming the CFC just because the PR guys from H1Z1 and Planetside 2 thought it wasn't a good name for marketing purposes, maybe? Or simple delusions of grandeur, maybe? The problem with Imperiums is that they come and go when their enemies become to strong, the Imperium Romanum is a parade example for that. The Imperium Romanum became lazy and fat and couldn't even defend their homeland anymore, and one fine day, oops surprise, the Goths captured Rome. Sounds familiar, doesn't it?

It wasn't a good name, not just for H1Z1, but once you start getting referred to on non-gaming media sites talking about EVE, having a more family friendly name is a benefit for CCP as well as Mittani.
And you're right, they come and go. They might fall now to a larger coalition (thus proving the necessity of coalitions) but I have no doubt they'll rise again.

Well, because they're not. This is the second post in which you've made this accusation. I'd like you to go into explcit detail as to how you think that Horde are "meatshields" for PL. I mean, SMA and the other CFC alliances were meatshields for Goons in that they occupied the regions around Deklein, making a direct attack upon the Goons nigh impossible. See what "meatshield" means? So again I ask, how is Horde acting as a meatshield for PL?

Given how weak and broken SMA is right now, that would not be something SMA would like to have happen, so don't scoff. Even when SMA had 4500 or so members back when I was still around and Horde was living in W-4, their roams up into Fade were a constant thorn in the side (I personally found it appalling how such a big alliance could be so awful -- it was embarrassing) and don't you even try to claim that they weren't.

There's this saying about names. That names have power.

It's no coincidence that Mittens attempts to name both the MBC and the war. But then the same is true for the MBC side.
How about we reach a middle ground. We name ourselves and respect each others names and the name of the war remains the most widely used one (world war bee)

Names are just labels, so when people converse they have some idea of what is being talked about. I don't really see what it is called matters as long as everyone calls it the same, or if two labels are used for the same thing they reference each other. |

All the time you are going to chestbeat, I'm going to scoff. Honestly if PL get so buttmad at one poster dismissing their superiority that they redeploy to try to attack an alliance living in NPC null, I'll be pretty chuffed at being that poster.
Even in some of the early fights of this war when horde were outnumbering our fleets alone and had NC. support on top, we were still able to hold most strategic objectives. I think pilot to pilot we'd rip horde to pieces. The only thing you've got going for you is numbers, and horde in it's previous incarnation as BNI proved that a non-existent security policy and wide open recruitment only gets you so far.

Indeed let us not forget MOAs contributions to the war effort and the place of honour they earned within the MBC as a result of their efforts

Pretty sure it's got something to do with it, yes. For some of the newer players amongst us, goons invading highsec, providence and lowsec were the first encounters with "the almighty CFC" we'd heard many tales about. (later rebranded Imperium, not when I started playing though). This. The bumping, the scamming, the griefing, the ganking ... I happen to like Providence -- even though I'm kill on sight, we're practically neighbours and I haven't seen them act dishonourable or **** in someone else's pond just for the sake of it. Both are empires, yet one of them is clearly more benevolent than the other.
Now I usually wouldn't care about who does what in his corner of the galaxy but the ones stalking my freighter were definitely goons. So, when the war started, you guessed it: one more angry freighter pilot at Your service, Sir!
I didn't even know who goons really were until World War Bee started and I took a good long look at The Imperium. They're ..... Carebears?! Like, carebears with alts ganking other carebears? For all the crap I had to endure about freighter bumping, ganking and all the times I was told "why don't you get friends and do something about it?", well ... here I am. Besieging your lands. Doing something about it.
All in good humour of course, as it is indeed but a game. Striking back feel good though ;-) |

Though there is one thing highsec pilots don't consider. If Imperium get kicked out of nullsec there's a good chance their activity in highsec will increase.

Hehehe - yup. I guess that's my way of saying "just wait till I get in a ship with guns grrrrr" I don't really care what happens to highsec (I recently upgraded to a jump freighter) but activity levels rising has crossed my mind, yes. If they reach a point where it's worth our time to wait for and blap all the -5s, that'd be hilarious! One might actually see whole corps developing around the idea of thwarting gankers without wasting their time.

It is official news though. Fact there is a war going on, it is popularly called World War Bee. If you don't like the name, tough ****, that is what the community has named it. Fact there was a big fight in M-0 that resulted in crushing CFC defeat, and loss of an ally CO2.
They host a link to TMC and EN24 so people can get coverage on both sides of the war...its not CCP's fault that TMC is not reporting any war related news.
In regards to propaganda, why doesn't CFC start submitting some stuff then? The one they selected from PL is very well done, regarfless who it vouches for it absolutely is worthy of a community spotlight just because how well it was put together. I mean CFC has not submitted anything in terms of propaganda, case in point....CCP had to make propaganda on CFC's behalf with the Scope Video about State of the Goonion.
Where is the scope video supporting MBC, CCP is obviously super biased right, spending production time making something CFC specific while leaving 50 something alliances without the same.
Absolutely pathetic that you and your organization complain about CCP covering this war in a bias manner when both sides are equally represented on the Updates page. I am embarrassed for you tbh.

Where is the scope video supporting MBC, CCP is obviously super biased right, spending production time making something CFC specific while leaving 50 something alliances without the same.
Absolutely pathetic that you and your organization complain about CCP covering this war in a bias manner when both sides are equally represented on the Updates page. I am embarrassed for you tbh. I think a lot of the issue is that CCP recently have started this thing where they basically live on reddit, and if you post anything even remotely pro-goon on reddit you get downvoted into oblivion, leaving CCP only really able to pick through anti-goon material. I'm with the suggestion I saw in some thread somewhere on here that CCP should make a war subforum, and that should be full blown go crazy with propaganda and whatnot, so there's a single unified neutral location for players to post.

Your language right now doesn't matter to me, neither does whatever r/eve does. But when I see it on a "what's going on right now" page on an official EVE url, that makes me decide not to play ball. The fact is we know how to give good war, but if CCP can't be impartial then they get a bad war. That looks like T1 everything, frigates and interceptors maybe. But no capitals, no grudge matches. |

Like this pro-Karma Fleet one that has five times as many upvotes as most pro-MBC propaganda? https://www.reddit.com/r/Eve/comments/4efhqo/join_the_imperium_and_get_to_fight_against_the/
Well done propaganda is appreciated on reddit, regardless of who it supports.
Now this is an example of a post getting downvoted into oblivion: https://www.reddit.com/r/Eve/comments/4eeozp/ccp_has_a_pr_problem/

I'm with the suggestion I saw in some thread somewhere on here that CCP should make a war subforum, and that should be full blown go crazy with propaganda and whatnot, so there's a single unified neutral location for players to post.
First, why would they not communicate on reddit, it has 60K subs, and there are 500-1K+ active users (more frequency now due to war) at pretty much all times of the day it is a fairly popular and active sub...the devs would be stupid not to frequent a popular sub, on a popular website, for a game they made.
Secondly, I read reddit a lot, and I stay on "new" I can tell you 100% that pro-CFC stuff is just not being posted there are two reasons for this I think.
1) Prior to the kickstarter, CFC had decent reddit presence, and their submissions were tolerated in terms of "dankness" or "spiciness", sure there was Grr Goon threads etc, but were talking the EVE O quality "Goons are bad and I hate them". Whatever right. After the kickstarter is when things changed. Mittani and Sion were actively trying to get vote brigade thing going to boost their kickstarter awareness. This didn't sit well with Reddit, (because that is how Reddit works)
Mittani, viewed this as a direct personal attack, and developed this **** Reddit attitude, saying **** like Reddit isn't an EVE community. So of course, this only got your average redditor more encouraged to **** him off. Which they doubled down on with Sion quit from CSM, this is where the CCP ****** us because Reddit came from. Obviously at this point the "not a real community" of Reddit went pretty Anti-Bee, because it drove Mittani nuts, and made Sion look dumb....it didn't help when old goons like Endie, Blwarf and DJ posted anti goon threads either.
2) The war has not been remotely good for CFC, you can spin cycle it however you want to justify reasoning, But it has not been good. It is clearly obvious CFC is broken, the non-GSF members are all bleeding players/corps. Every region held a month ago is essentially lost at this point. So really what do Goons have to cheer for? They fly around in Inties and watch their space burn from low sec. That can hardly be fun, or entertaining for the majority. It is demoralizing, so what do they have to celebrate on reddit.
Prior to the "real" war CFC had good presence, when they brawled Tishu and Horde in Fade, Content Ring, CO2/Lawn/Bastion in the other theatre. There was lots of good posting over good fights, by both sides. But now, after the fastest collapse in EVE history...I just don't think Goons post anymore because they have nothing to cheer for.
In regards to a forum section, there is one. CAOD. No one posts there because
1) ISD's over moderate, and EVE Players in heat (of war) sperge pretty hard. 2) The forum eats posts all the time, it is frustrating as **** to type **** out hit post and watch it disappear.
So I don't see it getting used even if one was created, because frankly...these forums actually do suck.

The third reason you are missing is that if someone comments and it's pro-goon, it's generally downvoted. There's no point in players even attempting to join reddit from the Imperium side since someone will say "Hey we're going to crush goons" +50 karma, then a new goon replies "We'll fight you to the end" -20 karma, posts now invisible. I gave reddit a fair crack seeing that CCP decided it's a better place than their official forums to talk about game mechanics, but there's just no point unless you're only interested in following the popular opinion and have the sense of humour of a 12 year old.

As a regular forum warrior I know that's not as common as you make it sound, maybe once a day. Sure it could use some work, but thankfully it remembers posts anyway.
Also there's benefits: 1. It's unbiased (ish) 2. The worst of the attacks and unhealthy rage posts are filtered down 3. Posting is restricted to active, unbanned characters 4. Posts rise to the top based on activity positive or negative, rather than actively pushing popular opinions only 5. It's not reddit
CAOD isn't really the place though, they really need a war forum with rules set up to allow players to discuss active wars, share propaganda, etc.

In all fairness, SMA has been fighting a war for like 4 months, mostly on its own. They did a pretty remarkable job in holding out against TISHU and Horde earlier in the year. Cloud Ring was given up by GSF not SMA, Goons ordered condensing, which was the right choice, but not a loss for SMA.
Monkey's put up a good fight, to bad their toxic upper leadership caused the alliance to collapse outright, and take it to the graveyard of Null Sec. I think SMA as a whole deserve more credit than folks, and perhaps even myself at times have given them. Its hard to forget how long they actually fought for.
But at the same time Goons never came, at the detriment to the average line member and corp. |

The number of people who drop the line about "Goons stuck in lowsec" don't seem to get that sov is now more of a whacky chase around constellations and needs indexes to be built up. Anyone can attack but only defender can defend. Why it's like this would be more of a history lesson than i can be bothered posting but the reddit talking points about staging out of lowsec seem relentlessly uninformed regarding sov mechanics. So some renters, buddies and buffers got messed with, ok. I could be wrong on some detail but it sure looks like the Imperium side are going to have to all merge into a giant body in order to deal with the new circumstances of sov. The crowing and hating by irrelevant and nameless groups from all over the map is boring, OP needs a valium. I can't even bet with friends over any outcomes as the MBC side seem to think anything is a win condition. The market is loving me though. Have goons lost any of Deklein yet?

No worries I'm sure you guys can become the big boys of Cloud Ring eventually lol. Congratulations on holding sov that noone is contesting. The moment someone else wants to take it from you, you will stop owning it, guaranteed. Just like you guys. Zing!
Except of course it took a coalition of 50k+ players several months to take ours and they're still working on it even though we no longer live there. In contrast, to take sov from MoA it will only take a small gang even if MoA defend it with all they have.
But yeah, except for those distinct differences, it's just like us.

They meant to do that, though. It's all part of the scheme. Since all of us in the MBC have such short attention spans, no one will keep that sov and Goons will come right back and take it. With a hellwar.

Well holy ****** that ********* is totally ************ ! I'd pop a ************ ****** if only ******'d ***************, alas...
On a more serious note - when FCon and SMA are still blue to the bloc, how exactly does that change anything? For example, Razor and Lawl might or might not "officially" leave the imperium, but would that matter on the field? Staging from Outer Ring, Syndicate or The Forge under a blue umbrella isn't leaving at all now, is it?

It's actually far easier to defend in fozzie sov.....yes in a coalition you have the disadvantage of only the relevant alliance being able to entosis but that only accounts for a few players on a few nodes....if you use said colossal coalition to provide cover (and it shouldn't be hard to put together a vaguely respectable covering fleet at any time) then the advantage still lies firmly with the defender. Also if you don't evac the space, have allies that aren't just sitting waiting for you to fail so they can absorb you and keep the adms up it's even more skewed in the defenders favour.
The bee guys haven't been doing much of anything except making people laugh in inties for a while now while they bleed alliances, corporations and players at a rate of knots....from their nice invulnerable low sec station which they can barely undock from unless they keep a fleet tied up camping it and achieving nothing. Yes after a while when all main goals are met and there aren't any bees of significance to fight we'll see mbc members go back to doing hat they enjoy, namely having few blues and lots of pew. But if you think the imperium is just going to be able hibernate then be able to come back as a force to still be reckoned with (especially numerically), re-take their space and resume business as usual (not to mention hunting down their agressors one by one in low sec and making them 'pay' (rofl) as martini has stated in much the same fashion as someone that just lost their first mining barge in high sec tends to evemail their victimiser) without the good guys going 'hey look, the pinata's back'; i think you have a surprise coming

No, it really isn't. Aside from only one alliance being able to actually do the defending and any other players having to just watch, the attackers only need to put a small cheap ship on the table while defenders automatically have their sov on the table. So at a very minimum the defenders have to do the same as the attackers from a much smaller pool of people with a much bigger stake. Plus everyone can automatically see when and what is ready to be attacked so it's easy to dogpile without any kind of intel being required.

The mistake is assuming that means that it will actually kill them. Hell, TEST lost everything and pretty much died and yet they are currently the third biggest alliance in the game. The thing it's it's been done in the past, and if any group can pull it off it's going to be one as organised as goons are, so your scoffing and giggling to yourself is laughable.

All this fighting and PVP and bickering and arguing about who killed who...
Looks like Mitler failed in this "ruining YOUR game" thing. People are starting to enjoy it. And if Flustered Cuck Coalition does try to emerge later to try and take it all back, people will enjoy that too.
Fighting. In this game. I literally can't even.

The bee guys will end up holding it.
Napoleon took Moscow, Stalingrad was 98% taken; but unless the job is 100% completed, the bee guys allies switched to new allegiances and the space fully occupied, the owners will just move back in.
I would suspect that the bee guys have so much in the way of assets in Dek, that they'll just retake the space when they want because MBC is just a loose coalition that will return to normal when they achieve what they think is the goal, which is only short term.
The bee guys are playing the long game and realise that losing in the short term makes no difference.
The dynamic in the game will be changed by this a touch, but once the war is over the bee guys will have some payback. CO2 will end up the biggest casualty in the long run. MBC members will just go back to their normal ways and carry on. |

People might like to pretend that that's it, wars done, they've won, but that's pretty far from reality. The war is still in early stages. Very early indeed. I haven't noticed many MBC people claiming to have won the war and the work is done. Just enjoying some victory battles. Some of the upcoming steps, from what I can gather from the chatter:
- Grind down all CONDI SOV structures and POSes in Deklein and Pure Blind.
- Potentially grind down all Imperium SOV structures and POSes in areas such as Vale, depending on the actions taken by other Imperium alliances.
- Respond to any attacks launched during the above process. This will be done with great delight, I suspect.
- Move out to other areas and allow new groups to take SOV, or move in and take SOV themselves and get back to gudfites.
- Keep an eye out for any future CONDI moves into SOV, or even just force deployments. The emperor has been shown to bee without clothes and is now KOS for very many groups. My feeling is that any opportunity to dunk CONDI will be gleefully seized upon by overwhelming forces.
- Depending on how certain wealthy and upset parties act, aggression against alliances that are simply blue with The Imperium (or CONDI if the widotting happens) could continue, even if said alliances have retreated to NPC null or low.
- I haven't heard any discussion of capitulation or surrender, but I will be keeping an eye out for such talk.
- Propaganda will continue, especially with the intent of getting players to leave CONDI/The Imperium.
This will most certainly be a long-term process.
You also mention CONDI being the core of The Imperium, which is true and why the war was dubbed World War Bee by the people who are in the lead so far. It's why CO2 were welcomed for their defection. |

I doubt that the bee guys will have much payback. They've already been damaged, and before this is all over, they're going to be damaged more. Their coalition has effectively been broken up and the best they can do is salvage some stray corporations from those who have left or are too weak to carry on in the current situation. All imperium alliances are bleeding members and sov, and in spite of Lucas Kell's hurfblurf, it's not going to be some kind of an easy matter to just stroll back into all that space and retake it as easily as the MBC took it.
The Aegis sov attacker/defender gap in difficulty/fairness as constantly pointed to by The Mittani as one of the main reason the MBC was able to do what it has done is vastly overstated here. The truth is, a lot of the Imperium had grown soft and unused to defending its space against anything but roamers. SMA had few true PvP players and lots of ratters and miners who didn't even have a clue about situational awareness and how to safe up when a neut or even a red entered the system, let alone how to report it to intel channels. The players who were eager to defend were fighting an uphill battle simply because of this. And it is folly for people like The Mittani (and Lucas Kell) to assume that all alliances are as bad at the game as this.
I am not saying that the defender disadvantage isn't real, but that the Imperium's disadvantage was worse, especially for alliances like SMA. And actually I have to give SMA props because towards the end there when they realized that things were serious and that they weren't getting bailed out by Goons, they finally pulled it together and put up some fight. But it was too little too late by then.
Anyway, back to my original point. Goons may get all or part of Dek back, but they're probably going to have to fight hard for it, depending on who moves in there. I wouldn't at all be surprised if one or two of their old enemies are eyeing that space as a permanent home. Not naming any names here, but maybe you guys can guess.

CFC will get nothing back, there will be some strong groups who will stay there, probably MC, OSS, OOS, CO2, TEST...probably NC. and PL will hold token space, and plenty of moons. The only folks who will leave will be the guys who have homes, and the guys who live in LS/HS/WH
North is valuable and these alliances invading aren't stupid, there is a lot of ISK up North. |

In my opinion such victories are not worth it because you loose more then you can ever win back with this tactic. But that's just a Noobs idea of playing the game and having fun. |

It's not about players using their in-game abilities to fight each other it's about trying to figure out how to stop someone who's using untouchable third party software from picking and choosing targets to eradicate from the game while simultaneously playing with bad mechanics.
It's like back when I played CS and a hacker would come in and join your team speeding his way around knifing everyone to death. Sure at first it was funny to watch the enemy getting smashed to pieces but pretty rapidly it loses that novelty and you realise it's just a cheater taking an easy route. Luckily back then there were admins to enforce the rules, but here CCP seem like they have no intention of keeping the playing field level. So sure, the Imperium might fall, but to be honest if earning trillions through third party software is how to win EVE then what's the point in playing at all?

So, basically, the only way to have fun in this game is the way you find fun? Everyone else is wrong?
Or is it more that anything we find fun and entertaining is wrong?
Because I'll tell you what, i'm having a good time kiting people to death with Asher, and reading the forum porn of people who are so whiney about us not undocking single file to fill up our enemies' kill limit as if this was an episode of Futurama.
Why should we go down gloriously when we can just do what we've always done, and come out on top later and laugh at all the moral posts and VFK memes? Answer me this.

You have always hidden in some lowsec system trying to grind someone down? It's my personal view on things that it is wrong just to win its more important how to win. For me a game is sport and you don't always play fair but there are some lines not to cross. And at some point you have to admit defeat and at least put up a good show. What would you think of a team that's 5 goals behind and just stops playing and reserts to just kicking ankels?

Sorry but there are lines that you shouldn't cross about a game! I'm not saying that every goon is bad but you are, as a whole, responsible for such actions. It's done by your CEOs so you take part of the blame. Do YOU want someone calling your boss because he doesn't like something you did in EVE? Would you think that it's okay? |

IWI may take a part but the actual shooting and winning is done by players you can shoot down ingame. I'm saying that IWI is funding the war, and unlike in-game isk earning mechanics which can be attacked and affected, IWIs method of generating income is a third party application which cannot be affected by players. Inevitably no legitimate players, no matter who they are would be able to outlive their opponent if their opponent has that untouchable advantage. This is why botting and many other third party applications that give an advantage aren't allowed.

First off, I've seen no proof of any of that (and the person I saw doxxing IWI was Nosy Gamer). Secondly, Mittani has dealt with personal attacks against him as a player, not as a character for several years, and you seem to have no problem with that, so why is it you're suddenly on your high horse?

No I wouldn't like it, neither would I like my career and life choices to be attacked on a daily basis or my photos plastered all over propaganda and attacked for things my character does. It's pretty ludicrous for you to suggest that the Imperium are the sole perpetrators of this.

Science has yet to determine whether he really believes what he writes or is just stuck arguing on precedent, reason long forgotten.

I, unlike some of the posters here, don't base all of my opinions on personal circumstance, I do in fact look objectively at situations like this, and objectively it's a third party application giving a direct and unfair benefit.

This current Goon mythology of "we conquered it all with rifters and our fighting spirit" is straight spin from the mouth of Mittens.
And in the end, you still didn't win until someone disbanded BoB in one swoop.

How can you have been in The Imperium for more than 48hours without an understanding that we use out-of-game means to leverage an absolutely overwhelming advantage in game? Are you trolling or are you so stuck on your own argument you can't see this?
Example: I want to make loads of money importing with no effort. Better only do it in game! Or, I guess I could use goonmetrics? Example: I want to optimize my hauling stuff. In game? No - I use GARPA Example: I want to flash-form 1200 nerds to come protect my in-game objective. Do I sit in chat channels dropping fleet invites? No, I send out a ping that goes to laptops / desktops and mobile phones around the globe.
Arguing 'out of game' advantages are unfair when you are sitting on a massive pile of them is woefully hypocritical, and conveniently drawing a line to exclude all those as 'OK' but demonise the one that you don't have is just poor behaviour.

Secondly, CCP have already stated that those applications don't provide what they consider an in-game benefit as they don't allow you to do or gain anything in game at an accelerated rate compared to normal gameplay. IWI clearly does.
Once again though, thank's for desperately trying to throw up strawman arguments thus adding further validation to my points.

Which IWI has also been vetted by CCP and deemed not to provide a direct in-game benefit! They said that gambling sites are okay as long as they follow certain rules and guidelines which IWI does indeed follow since they don't want to get somerblink'd.

Making a website to convince people to simply hand over their ISK doesn't generate anything. No it doesn't, otherwise bot mining would probably not be against the rules and market bots most certainly wouldn't. Additionally no tool or bot can generate isk faster than the system will allow. Ratting bot's don't magically generate more isk than a manual ratter playing for the same amount of time.

Are you being serious right now?
Having voice comms instead of typing instructions to each other for fleet coordination doesn't accelerate gameplay in your mind?
Being able to look up exactly what triggers hit to blitz missions instead of blindly guessing doesn't accelerate gameplay?
Being able to pick a ship/fitting and have an app automatically give you the optimal training plan instead of poking around in game for hours to figure it out doesn't accelerate gameplay?

The Goblin has some salient points to add to the conversation. Surely IwantISK was involved, but truth be told, long before Goblin started tooting his own horn, I had already seen the success of MOA and the abominable efficiency of the imperial PvP wing.
I have unfortunately not found a killboard with filters (to remove highsec ganks) and proper kill value distribution (anti-whoring) but when examining ZKill closely the truth is out there.
Anyone care to comment on Goblin's GRR Goons project? For if nothing else, it DID show blood in the water. IwantISK seems unrelated although they clearly benefited from the groundwork; they merely turned the snowball into an avalanche.
While funding apparently helped, I also believe GSF has carebeared more than enough ISK for itself - and ergo, is not a valid point to yammer on about. |

Which is all well and good for the point about the war. I imagine either way at some point this would have happened (though nto really to do with Gevlon or MoA as they are laughably terrible, but I imagine TEST and PL would have done this anyway at some point). That however doesn't change the simple fact that outside of this war there is a player with a third party application giving him an advantage with no counter. Doesn't matter what alliance it is, if he picks a target there's no way they can do anything all the time their income can be countered and his can't.

The counter is to make a better gambling site. Which goons, in classic goon fashion, failed miserably at.
You could also infiltrate IWI and drain their corp wallets. But again, that requires competence and effort.

IWI didn't make ISK out of thin air; nor did everyone involved receive massive funding to shoot bees. People just don't like bees, it seems.
To be perfectly candid with you, out of all people any argument from Goons concerning alleged cheats is laughable: it's been their modus operandi for aeons. To win a war you have to fight, which hasn't happened so far. You need not look any further than that.
That said, what is it between you and IwantISK anyway? The war's already rolling, even if funding were cut right now the war would go on. Learning from past mistakes and looking forward is the way to go; not insisting it wasn't fair and there is no counter.
I mean, damn son- your coalition is lead by a man who's not even subbed! We cannot even headshot your leaders in-game since they don't exist in-game, nor can we assault your lowsec retreat -- how about them apples? |

Ok
Ok so that is monumentally stupid but LETS JUST PRETEND IT IS TRUE OK??
So you must ergo assume that if you make a chat channel, and call it "Lukas wants ISK" and use it to organise a betting pool. A betting pool where the house makes a steady profit. That you have therefore completely recreated IWI ingame and ERGO in your silly little "NO APPLES EQUAL ORANGES WHEN I SAY SO" IWI doesn't have any benefits to simply just doing the same in game, it just makes it easier (like jabber, teamspeak, fitting tools, market analysis ....)
Can you now do your silly little dance and conveniently define your 'third party' problem around this concept.

Go on a roam and only use in game chat. Let me know how it goes. Let me know if you're as effective, and as efficient in gameplay.
The mental gymnastics you are going through to justify what you say is nothing short of impressive. It's gameplay to use the 3rd party apps that you like, but it's cheating to use the 3rd party apps that you don't. I'm not insulting you, I just pointed out the logical flaws in what you said. You've yet to justify the hypocrisy in your views.

I've known for a long time that these sites cause issues and open wide gaps for RMT, all this war has done is open my eyes to how bad the imbalance is already. You keep flipping this over to goons, but if IWI picked any alliance they'd stand no chance. Being in a game knowing full well that someone with out of game tools can just roflstomp you whenever they feel like and there's absolutely nothing you can do about it is pretty lame.

So it's pretty dire that you have to use zKillboard, you have to use slack/etc to ping corpmates, you have to use out of game comms (go on a roam with only in game comms and tell me how it went compared to TS3).
You're a station trader, right? Go the next month without using a single out of game spreadsheet or market tool and let me know how effective you are at making ISK. |

You're a station trader, right? Go the next month without using a single out of game spreadsheet or market tool and let me know how effective you are at making ISK. But you don't have to use any of those things. There's certainly no game mechanics that require a player to use those to counter gameplay, and when a player is using one of those they don't become uncounterable to players who aren't using them.
And mate, I've been playing since practically the beginning of time. While I use some tools to track and report on progress, the vast majority of what I trade I do without tools. It would be no problem to stop using them for a month. Hell, I could make a fair chunk of my income flipping plex, skill injectors and skill extractors alone and they most certainly require no tools to run. You probably want to pick a tougher task than that if you;re trying to make a point.
I don't disagree though that some tools do give an advantage, even tools I do use like eve-o preview for multiboxing for example. I've even tried to push for them to be disallowed too. All I'm saying is that IWI is another one and it does so in a much more powerful and uncounterable way than people looking at ZKB.

Ok so here's your next post to ignore "without attacks, insults and condescending attitude"
You can re-create IWI in-game by creating chat channels and inviting participants to play the same games under the same basic rules and rewards. It would make money much slower, but it would be the same mechanism.
Likewise, you can use only in-game chat to organise a coalition of 40k people. It would be much less effective than jabber but would be the same basic mechanism.
Please explain why one is OK and one is not.

The applications they have a problem with are ones that allow you to make in-game gains in an accelerated way compared to ordinary gameplay.

I am defending IWI with the same argument, you "could" do it in game. Therefore in your logic, it must be OK.
FYI this is pretty much QED because such gambling games existed in eve before the API came along and allowed them to move to 3rd party solutions.

FWIW all eve trillionaires basically got there by leveraging 3rd party tools to process market data more rapidly than "normal gameplay" allows.
This is why it's just so so silly that you think IWI is the one example of this. You are trying really really hard to create a definition where they're bad, and everything else that you want is OK, and it's so painfully transparent I don't think you have even convinced yourself yet, which is why you keep skipping posts that point out the contradiction.

No, I'm arguing that if they are to exist they should only exist in game and not through third party applications which by your own admission make them faster at acquiring ISK. Honestly I'd be much happier if everything was in game so the playing field was the same across the board, but I can see why that would be an unrealistic prospect, so I'll settle for getting rid of the worst offending applications. IWI is one, EVE-O preview is another.

As for it being so "painfully transparent" that I just want to keep stuff I want, it would seem strange to me that there's been two main targets on my list for a while, one of which is EVE-O preview I use every day.

Why then do you go on these silly little rants about "cheating" and how it can't be countered. The exact same situation applies in all other 3rd party tools. An alliance that tried to organise without a single out-of-game communications platform would have absolutely no chance against one that did.
IWI's ISK has not been a massive factor in this war. A good push to make it happen, perhaps, but it was largely inevitable and the results would have been the same.

In your opinion maybe other applications give more benefit, but in reality no other third party application has done what IWI is still doing. There's no point in people even attempting to go against someone that has such a high and unassailable method of income pushed from an out of game tool. You disagree with that, fine, but that's your opinion vs mine, that's all. Not that up until last year ISBoxer was ruled as fine too.

Guy IWI gets its ISK from players it is 100% generated through normal gameplay. IWI doesn't print ISK, it collects isk from player deposits. Like for real dude. The argument is ridiculous. If it violated CCP rules it would have been shut down...especially in the wake of Somer Blink, and an investigation for RMT.
Your argument is absolutely ridiculous, and border line ********. 6 months ago IWI wasn't a problem, your alliance was a stake holder for christ sake.
IWI generates 0 ISK. Every ISK is from a player who generated it in game through normal means.

Sure you don't HAVE to use TS3/zkillboard/slack, but that was your point. You are whining that the site gives IWI an advantage. He doesn't HAVE to use that site to run gambling in EVE, just like you don't HAVE to use TS3/killboards/slack to PvP, but it gives you an advantage. Stop cherry picking 3rd party apps that you don't like.
If you have been 'playing since practically the beginning of time' you would realize what a BS thing it is to say there is no counter. Start a competing service, put him out of business. Why do you think IWI called somer competition? Because it was a direct threat to his business.
There is a counter, but let's face it mate, you're either incapable or unwilling to put the effort in to use the counter, so you whine instead.

At no point have I sat around saying "no third party tools give any advantage", I've simply pointed out that the types and degrees of advantage differ. Are you seriously suggesting that teamspeak gives as much of an unfair advantage as IWI? One is freely available to all players at the click of a button and allows marginally faster communication than the already existing voice communication built into EVE, and the other is available only to players with a certain out of game skillset and allows the acquisition of trillions of isk with no in-game counter.
At this point it can only be that you are trolling. Quite honestly though if you can't even keep it civil I have no time for you.

One is freely available to all players at the click of a button and allows marginally faster communication than the already existing voice communication built into EVE, and the other is available only to players with a certain out of game skillset and allows the acquisition of trillions of isk with no in-game counter.
At this point it can only be that you are trolling. Quite honestly though if you can't even keep it civil I have no time for you.
Are you honestly saying major coalitions could have taken and held the space in sov null that they did without extensive use of out of game 3rd party tools?
If I am a dynamic personality capable of generating rhetoric and storylines that lead people to give me ISK for the pure value of entertainment (CODE, for example) that leads to a huge amount of ISK donated, should that not be allowed now too? After all, it's relying on an out of game skillset that those without cannot counter in-game. You say IWI has an unfair advantage. That's flat out irrelevant. EVE isn't fair. Deal with it. That comes with the territory.
Can you actually respond to everything I said, instead of deflecting and ignoring it by saying what you did in your last line? If you don't have a decent response, just own up to it already.

It simply states that if a third party application allows you to aquire it at an accelerated rate to normal gameplay, it#s not allowed, and there's no what you can say that through normal gameplay with no site IWI would acquire isk at the same rate.
Are you intentionally being stupid, or is it just an everyday defect you deal with?
Seems to me your issue lies with "Give ISK" in game function and not with IWI tbh. I can ask 1000 people to give me ISK, and if every one of them gave me 1B, I just made 1T so that is bad right? What about Gevlon Goblin donating 700B to MoA yesterday, is that against the EULA to because MoA didn't actually earn that ISK themselves through normal means, it was deposited into their wallet using the "Give ISK" in game function.
Or are you hung up on the whole "third party" thing that encourages giving of ISK.
What of the guys who write for TMC for example, they get paid in ISK. They didn't do anything in game for it, but yet they are receiving ISK for contributing to a third party, is that also against the EULA? Or what about streamers who get ISK donations from their viewers all the time, should that also be banned because they are accumulating DONATED ISK through the "Give ISK" in game function, from other players.
The idiocy on display here man...I tell ya its a whole new level. |

No, I'm saying that there's a difference between an advantage and and unfair advantage, CCP have stated this themselves when talking about the exact same applications you are talking about. You're the one pretending I'm saying that they offer no benefit, because you're trying to suggest that if I don't want TS3 removed then I'm a hypocrite for wanting anything removed, even though there's a clear difference between the players able to take advantage of the different applications and clear difference in the level of benefit provided by them. That's the equivalent of saying that if I support the death penalty for mass murderers but don't for people who swear in public then I'm a hypocrite because I have sworn in public before.
Out of curiosity, when CCP were making this exact same distinction between ISBoxer and TS3, why were you not in there calling CCP hypocrites?

Do you even listen to yourself? Something passing keystrokes to a client allowing multiple clients to be controlled simultaneously is now the same thing as someone coming up with a creative marketing idea (ie, gambling)?
Zero isk has been made out of game, zero percent of IWI's service has had isk trade hands through botting/non-direct player to player action. Stop complaining mate. reductio ad absurdum doesn't suit you well either bud.

Did you even read what I wrote? Storytelling/rhetoric is an out of game, real life skill that many people simply don't have. We need to shut down anyone who creates a dynamic character and earns isk from it because they are utilizing an out of game skill that not everyone has! how unfair!
Let's please shut down all of the imperiums's out of game management tools, since those are giving them an unfair accelerated rate of income, yeah?

If IWI were not allowed their website, would they be able to make as much ISK as they do from donations without it?

According to CCP when this exact same question was posed to them, no, because everyone has the same tools and the advantages are minimal. That's different from a single dude making trillions of ISK from a third party application.

For comparisons sake, something like jabber is functionally essential for a coalition to exist in the game in a meaningful way at all. So yes it is a silly comparison, one you are only wildly angry about because you're on the wrong end of it.

I think jabber is fine because anyone can use it if they think it is something that helps them, or make their own similar tool. I think IWI is fine because anyone can use it if they think it is something that helps them, or make their own similar tool.
This is what a post without hypocrisy looks like.
Do you want to try to make one?

To be honest Lukas I'm giving you **** because your posting reminds me of some embarrassing posts I made when I was about 12 and used to have no idea when I had lost an argument. Like remember when you see pictures you took in 1998 and think "arggghhh **** cringe"? Yeah that's these posts. I would just stick with it in the hopes people would give up and I could somehow not have lost the argument if I could find some semantic hook to lean on. I got better~~
Problem here, is you're too willing to make conflicting statements in the same literal post so it's a genuine mystery to me whether you don't literally see your own hypocrisy or you think your posting is good enough to hide it (it isn't).
I'll think about it later and let you know what I think would be the better outcome.

Do you want to try to make one? Already have bro. I think the advantages gained by IWI are significantly larger than the advantages given by jabber and are availabe to a much more limited group, both of which makes it an unfair advantage. It's only hypocrisy if I don't see a difference between the two yet still want one banned. The funny thing is there's nothing you can say that changes the simple fact that if IWI had the third party application disallowed they would not be able to make the ludicrous amounts of isk they do, proving my point. You're the one then throwing jabber in the mix and claiming that if I don't share your opinion that jabber is just as bad and don't also push for the removal of jabber, that I'm a hypocrite. There is no way of explaining it more clearly than that, yet undoubtedly you'll be back swinging and missing next time.

A couple of years ago, when CFC was in its prime and had pretty much "won" EVE, there was a thread right here about something like "Is there any way to defeat Goons?' Some insightful Goon member said, "Well, there's some risk that boredom might kill us." I can understand that. Dogs need exercise, sitting around in a para-blue donut world is not good for keeping muscle and mind tone primed up, for anybody.
The Imperium thing looked so incredibly hokey to me from the beginning that was almost disbelievable. Couldn't believe my eyes when I saw it. It was like going culturally and IQ-ly backwards, into WOW world. Just saying, an outsider.
I have empathy, but not sympathy, for goonlords with their ceilings falling in around their ears. A newbro who lost his first mining ship to gankers feels about the same. Still don't understand why an organization as big as CFC would bother to encourage and fund that high sec small ISK and many, many micro-dramas stuff. Maybe to keep your rank and file busy and give them an outlet for... stuff. Hard to watch the emotion-spilling, and not think about (shite, I'm going to say it), enjoyable repeated persecution of a depressed and vulnerable player. And making a Power Point about it. Add to that some 10s of thousands of n00b Retrievers. ___________, please! HTFU. That's your spiel from way back, here you go.
(That said, I say salute to the Goons rank and file I've met doing their thing in their quiet home basement. Pretty laid back guys, and some pretty sly ironical funny).

*you think he's cheating and literally everyone else disagrees with you.
Without third party applications EVE would stop functioning as a game. How is your own gambling service going to counter IWI? I assume you're working on one, since you don't like IWI. Either put your money where your mouth is and work on countering IWI, or stop talking. k buddy? |

Please. I't not condoned by everyone, it's condoned by *gasp* people benefiting from it. There are even people who up until this war have been anit-IWI that are suddenly fine with it. Undoubtedly when goons are gone and IWI targets a group they are friendly with it's suddenly be bad again. And yes, you are right, if IWI didn't start this war, someone else who isn't using a third party application to gain a massive advantage would have done, and that's fine. I have no problem with this war existing or with it being funded by a multi-trillionaire, but that funding should come from fair gameplay, not from using third party applications.

How does it help the situation to build more applications that give a massive advantage to isk acquisition? All that does is break the game even more for normal players. I used to play a game called Diaspora, and they didn't do anything about botters. So more people botted to counteract the bots. The next thing you know it's rare to encounter a player and the game is pretty much over and they shut it all down.
And mate, I'll talk as much as I want to. You getting all moody and telling me to be quiet because you can't think of a decent counterpoint isn't going to make me stop.

If you genuinely believe any large groups in this game could even exist without external organisation I have no idea what to tell you. No one is staying logged in 23 hours a day to try to work out when and where they are needed. Without that, a group using external means would steamroll them by being able to bring to bear forces that utterly overwhelm the "currently logged on" crew from the other side. It's such a non-starter it's asinine to even think it. But then this is your posting so.
The only reason you're able to say things like this and not realise they're utterly absurd is because you're mad about IWI and this is fair comment in your mind.
However this thread should have highlighted by now this thought is limited almost exclusively to your head.
By the way I can't reply for the next 813hours, as I am going to go fly around and manage POSes in-game using only ingame means. Then I will manually fly to every region and compare local prices.
Hopefully I will get there, I can't work out if my ship will align fast enough to be uncatchable as I just threw random parts onto a random hull and didn't use a fitting tool.
Lucas Kell wrote:IWI could literally pick any group and there not a damn thing anyone could do to stop them.
By the way this is a really, really silly notion.
Lucas Kell wrote:Lol, except of course that we know he is in fact cheating. It's not a theory
Citation needed. Your personal interpretation of the EULA is not law. Also, no one agrees with you. Even people being targeted right now by IWI.
Your interpretation is completely wrong, and would require the term "by any means". All IWI's money comes from people giving ISK to him in game.
I am at a loss as to how you can't understand the wording of the EULA. I'm also at a loss as to why you don't understand that CCP have ruled sites interacting with Eve in this way as OK.

If your argument is one of scale, Somer made as much as IWI does on an on-going basis. So it's still a non-argument.

It's that way because CCP design their game to be played as is, by regular players with without third party apps.

That doesn't matter, the rule is "acquire" not "generate". You know full well that the amount of isk he acquires with the app is significantly more than without the app, therefore the app facilitates that accelerated acquisition. That's basic logic.

Or are you taking the wild assumption that because they have't banned it yet, they have ruled it as OK (like they did with ISBoxer). You're also missing the point that their views change, and talking about it here on the forum is how we give CCP our opinions on it.
And yes, effectively all third party tools give an advantages, but what has been stated by CCP is "We may tolerate the use of applications or tools that enhance your enjoyment of the game. This is done at our discretion and only as long as no unfair advantages are gained by you or others by the use of said applications or tools" - CCP Grimmi. So it really comes down to whether or not they consider making more isk than a 40k character alliances is an unfair advantage. I think it is, you obviously don't. It's called a difference of opinion and they happen, and I'm not going to be silenced just because you want to troll (as you frequently do). So get over it.

ITT Lucas Kell can't understand how "Give Isk" function works, which is sad for an older EVE player.
Dear CCP please provide a tutorial for players to explain that GIVING Isk to a player is a choice of the player and not dependent on game mechanics. It is obvious the line is too blurry when long time EVE players fail to understand the difference between being GIVEN isk and acquiring isk.
I suggest a brief tutorial with an example, for simplicity sake have all new players give ISK to me, Mario Putzo. It will teach new folks isk transferring is done, and make me gorillions (hopefully) that is a win win! |

Why don't you go get CCP to define it for you if you wont accept that the game without tools is considered normal gameplay.
[quote=Mario Putzo]ITT Lucas Kell can't understand how "Give Isk" function works, which is sad for an older EVE player./quote]Sure I can, you just can't understand what "facilitate acquisition of items, currency, objects, character attributes, rank or status at an accelerated rate" means. I've made it as simple for you to understand, yet you seem to ignore it. Here, I'll do it again. If IWI the application were not allowed to be used, they would not be able to acquire isk at the rate they do, thus the application is what facilitates the accelerated acquisition.

The point of contention is where or not the benefit gained is unfair, yet they are too busy trying to swear blind that there is no benefit or trying to suggest that because other unrelated software which benefits multiple people exists, that's proof that software allowing one players to be richer than 40,000 other people is also acceptable.
The fact that you disagree with my arguments shouldn't get me banned.

Whatever. I'm not going to argue with you since it's nothing but a waste of time, as others have pointed out so often already. By running a gaming media site focussed on EVE (and I was under the impression he's got a lot of money from his family too). What's really funny here is you are simultaneously attacking his site by calling it a "multi-dollar media site" to claim it makes no income yet at the same time claiming he's earning enough to go on parties and yacht trips frivolously. Which is it, does it make no money or is he rolling around in cash on a yacht lighting cubans with benajmins?
I don't think you know what RMT is. RMT isn't just someone making money from playing a video game, if that were the case, players like Rixx Javix would be an RMTer as would all of the streamers. RMT is when in game items or isk is being traded for cash, amusingly something that Nosy (and most other sane people) thinks is likely to be occurring at IWI.
By the way, see things like when you say "that failed legal assistant", that's you launching out of game personal attacks on the player behind the character. It's funny how people like you get on your high horse about other people taking things too seriously while you aren't even able to restrict your hatred to in-game rivalry.
And yes, oftentimes it's pointless to argue with me because many of the people attempting to do it don't actually have well thought out and valid points, they have rage, bias and wild assumptions.

Happens a lot, doesn't it?. So you're saying you calling it a "multi-dollar media site" isn't in fact you trying to insult it by claiming it's low income? Be serious mate lol. And if you seriously think ad revenue from a site of that size is enough to live a lavish lifestyle you have serious misunderstandings about ad revenue.

Anyone taking the game so seriously they feel the need to launch personal real-life attacks needs a reality check, I really don't care who it is. You're just the one doing it here then accusing me of taking the game too seriously, so I'm pointing out the hypocrisy in that.

So essentially the CFC that is mad and crying about all their stuff being burned down. Totally not biased there, nope. "But they made all that ISK with an out-of-game application! HAXX! CCP PLS BAN THEY BREAK OUR SHINIES!" I'm not a member of the Imperum. Whe I say "our community" I mean the EVE community. Go read blogs and posts by Nosy Gamer (who in fact dislikes the Imperium). He went into detail about how many verified bans there have been within IWI and how that indicates systemic RMT rather than the rogue bankers they claim.
Linus Gorp wrote:Then you accuse IWI of RMT, yet CCP have already temporarily banned them before while they were being investigated and nothing came out of it. Where's the proof you're talking of? They've also had multiple first offense and permanent bans. The problem is that CCP have no access to IWI logs, so every time IWI simply claims it was the banker or gambler, and CCP have no real way to prove otherwise. Again though, as Nosy has shown the statistics for how many people have been banned make it highly doubtful that it's simply a coincidence that so many people have been independently RMTing within the same group.

Why is it far more likely? You yourself have stated that IWI has been blocked under suspicions and we know for a fact that multiple bans have occurred, while Mittani as far as I am aware has never even been temporarily banned for RMT. The only thing that makes you think it's more likely is your own bias.

I'm not sure if you actually know what "logically destroyed" means. You disagreeing with an opinion and going "NOPE, because I hate goons!" doesn't count as logical destruction. In fact the core point I've made - that IWI makes more isk using the app than they would without, thus making the app what facilitates their increase acquisition of isk - is pretty much indisputable. The point of contention is whether or not that is an unfair advantage, and that's subjective so can't be logically destroyed.

Good job there, mate ;) You can complain about what you want, but throwing around the accusations with nothing that even suggests it could be true is pretty ridiculous. IWI have plenty of things that suggest they could be RMTing, as alluded to in the post above. Furthermore IWI have a system that could easily masks RMT - which funnily enough is why if you make an eve bank you aren't allowed internal transfers - while Mittani has no such system in place.

In fairness to Lucas, and believe me it does feel odd to type that, individual IWI bankers have been sanctioned for RMT, the IWI site was temporarily unlinked from EVE and if IWI itself has avoided becoming a gigantic RMT front it will achieve the distinction of the first ISK gambling operation to do so.

Isn't trolling against the forum rules?
Whatever the case with IWI, goons could have done something. If they had even defended their space initially they would have killed the momentum buildup. Bad strategy has hurt the imperium most of all, the reasons the enemy have are not particularly important.
I understand why Lucas is concerned, making a gambling website IS a bigger step than most are able and presents an advantage of sorts. The website still needs to build a reputation etc so it's not just as easy as making the page, it takes work afterwards. Not only that but surely you could make a similar argument for the level of organisation in the imperium, most alliances don have time for such an amount of structure, is that an unfair advantage? Eve is inherently unfair and always has been so IWI is nothing new. What is fair anyway? Unfair situations only come up when your mental reality doesn't match physical reality. When you expect one thing and get another.
I think on balance I agree that gambling websites are bad, out-of-game websites that exist for in-game profit are unbalanced. IWI is basically a mini game eve players can do when bored and all they need to do is open up a browser, they can win eve things on it. And the service feeds isk to the guy running it. How do you fight that?
