OP is wrong, and not for the reasons persh typed:
Originally by: Noreen
1) BoB only engages when they think they have an advantage to win, forget your pride and regroup, ONLY fight on your terms, forgot about honor, its about winning, your enemy doesnt care, neither should you, your responsibility if to keep your fleet alive and complete your objective.
4) DONT bore your fleet, DONT wait by POS, pew pew is what keeps your fleet alive and numbers up, lack of it only makes station jokeys and game quitters.
If you want to fight on your terms, people WILL get bored. Patience is the price to pay to win, so 1) and 4) go against each other - but thats something most ascn members never accepted.
lo Gobbins
I think that what the OP meant is that, if you do not have the numbers/ships to engage a BoB fleet then DONT FF'ING ENGAGE it, swap out to different ship types and go roaming and try to get what kills you can on BoB & pals, keep your fleet together, keep it getting kills and having fun. Remember that killing the other sides fun factor is 90% of the battle, if you stop giving BoB easy kills and capital kills and instead just send lots of gangs around annoying them UNTIL you are ready to deploy the big guns then you will find it much for effective than throwing away 20 BS to kill 1.
DO NOT go suiciding your fleet just because people are a bit bored, or because you want BoB to respect you (they wont they will just **** themselves laughing at you).
If its not going to happen then bite the bullet, say so and get people to go do something else or play an alt, dont have people sat at a POS for 3+ hours because although it would be great if they would its just not realitic to expect it from any but the hardcore (half of whom are probably bob alts anyway  ).
The number of times we put ourselves into the situation where the FC felt pressured by whining fleet members to "do something" that they ended up taking chances and getting the whole thing killed.
As for all the people saying "well if this is such good advice how come you all got killed" well it was because we didnt follow this advice 
Not saying I agree with it all but there is a lot of sense in it and if we had followed 50% of this we would have done better (though probably still lost).
