Bla bla bla...BoB is gonna enslave you bla bla...
I've been around long enough to know that Bob says those things to provoke people into fighting them. They're there for the PVP. And if they hold ground its to finance those titans and fleets. Ironically there are many aspiring BoB -like entities at the moment, who are pointing fingers when they should not.
Face it, if you can't keep your space from BoB, or any other entity, for that matter, then you don't deserve it. It goes for everyone, including my own alliance. With that said, I'd like to talk about the hypocrisy of the coalition of alliances, who some claim are standing up to BoB's imperialism. It's all HOGWASH. They all want the same thing, to be the top dog. I was very disappointed by some former FIX corps recently, who joined this coalition with george w bushesque rhetoric along the lines of " we are here to remove the shackles of BoB and help you reclaim your freedom"... meanwhile they destroyed one of our major production POS in empire, that clearly have NOTHING to do with FIX being under BOB's iron rule, or whatever. We have hostiles trying to run our complexes, while on the forums they are saying "help us free you from BoB". But really if they wanted to free us from BOB, they would not be attacking FIX at all, because FIX is minding its own business most of the time and isn't a threat to them... It is clear that this is about a land grab... Personally I'd rather see BoB on my side than having some 'plex ho's take over Querious to 'deliver' us...
BoB is no more evil than the opposition. They just have a higher profile and make a good target for blame, that's all. If anything, the opposing coalition is actually greedier than BOB. At least their behavior towards FIX space makes that pretty transparent.
Also, your point about BOB being unable to take care of itself is completely moot. I aggree that I don't see them holding all that space on their own, but if you manage to get them entrenched in one spot by subjugating all their friends, you'll have hit a wall and will not go any further, you just don't realize that yet. They have the track record for performance and perseverance, their enemies don't. You think you'll be able to take over a constellation defended by 200 BOB pilots with 500 Goon/D2/RA etc? Game mechanics will fail before this could happen. So the best you can possibly hope for is to push BOB back into one region of space and reclaim the rest for yourselves. And in doing so, a United North would become the next BOB that everyone hates. So clearly, if you are here to deliver us from BOB, you are doing so at the risk of become the next BOB... Way to go.
Change your rhetoric and say : "we just want to kick everyone's ass and prove we are the best and take your riches"... then I'll believe you.
