Over the past couple of months we have seen the eve publics opinion on certain alliances change because of stuff written on these forums, be it from alt trolls or supposed 'news reporters' spreading propaganda for the side that their main supports. We all know these forums are a great propaganda tool (especially CAOD) and that enough news reporting and alt trolling can change peoples opinion on a situation even if all the information they're basing that opinion on is total bull****.
So what I want to ask the eve public, or rather the eve forum *****s that frequent this section of the forums that we all love is how did these forums become so influential that the general eve publics opinion of an entire alliance/coalition could be flipped. I'm talking about goons/RA/everyone else jumping on the 'Rapetrain'. Not half a year ago this was a coalition that was hated throughout New Eden for exploiting game mechanics (Logoffski/onksi node crashing etc) for forum spamming (Not just eve-o they did it to ISS and I would assume other alliances with some pretty terrible images) and total nubtard behaviour (Making fun of someone dying in RL anyone?). I think we'd all agree that we don't want to see someone like that controlling Eve.
Now I don't see this happening at all I don't think BoB/Lv will allow it. Hell, I'm not going to allow it. But you guys need to ask yourselves if you want to sit back and wait it out or if you want to do what some alliances (YouWhat, Chorus of Dawn etc.)are already doing and jumping on the anti *****Train Pain Train and give them some of their own medicine?
Now I feel it's time to don my flame retardant jump suit and hit the 'Post New Topic' button.

sadly, so many alliances these days are reporting using dodgy tactics these days, although i cannot confirm or deny this...people want to remove BoB for a different reason I believe.

These are *the* EVE ONLINE Fora, the only place where every single subscribed player can read and post (bans not withstanding) about in game events.
If theres a huge forum outcry about something, its not the forum "influencing" players- the forum IS the players. That outcry WAS the players opinion.
So take the anti-BoB sentiment thats so popular at the moment. Its not that a few forum *****s posted "BoB are evil!" and then all the players were swayed to this opinion by reading it. Its that people decided "BoB are evil!" and then posted about it 
Or rather, SOME people did. Its not like there aren't enough people holding the other view point aswell. As is life.

I disagree. Probably less than 10% (hell, probably less than 5%) post in these forums. I highly doubt that the people that post here represent the majority of EvE players. They're simply the most vocal (which should tell you something about how much the general EvE populace cares about these matters).

1st - lame tactics? Each and every alliance used it. May it be logoffski or whatever. And sorry - not alliance but the members. Cuz every alliance states they are good and dont do anything.
2nd - You really thing its coinsidence that Youwhatever and Chorous declare on same day the fall of LV defenses is announced? Looks more like one of Molle's cards to rise morale after the southern front collaps.
3d - ahh doesnt reallt matter

True, but I do believe they represent a cross section of general opinion. I find it hard to believe that the 10% (or whatever) who read the forums are all of the same minority opinion, while the other 90% hold a contrary view.
EDIT: And anyway, if only 10% of the players ever touch EVE-O with a barge pole, I don't see how it can be influential

i would like to think that people read a while here before forming a decision.. it's just plain logical. otherwise you end up contradicting yourself and giving anyone with the ability to click your portrait or use the forum search a nice evidence trail of things to call you out on.
wishful thinking? probably.. i still have faith in humanity, however. that being said, i think these forums are a LOT less influential than you think. try talking about any given topic in these forums in a select group of local channels. i'd be willing to bet more often than not people ask you for a link because they don't read them.
all those views come from trolls repeatedly opening the thread to see if someone responded to them. don't be deceived!
People argue when their personal views are at odds, whereas a debate is a more formal method of analyzing the angles of an issue |

Since the start of game and times when it was easy to get decent fights against good pilots to the times of the isk.
After serving SA for 3 years until it still remaining corps converged to rampage eternal.
I have fought with and against most major alliance in past and present.
Of those the ones I have appreciated amongst the most have been G now represented by D2 mostly german players and
RA still RA mostly represented by russian players. Both where amazingly tough nuts to try and break when we SA where ruling race with thousands of bored PvPers.
It might be due to unison through same cultural background, but still specially against the odds they have been much more valiant, engenious and better in fair PvP than most alliances in history of eve, including SA and CA imo.
Then again we have BoB which has about 500 decent veteran pvpers who have got enough of eve and just have to have fun when they play eve, like me. But as they also have few teenage leaders like good old DB Preacher -> the arrogancy in general is amazing. Even I quess Siddy and DB Preacher are both already 18 now a days and might soon come in to sense ;)
So in mids of partly well led organisation based on fact good vet pvpers are lazy some eager teenagers have made BoB look poor in judgement like a bee put it. "We rule!!! woo hoo"
But well still several hundred extraordinary pvpers, old friends and foes in BoB like Wolfman, TWD, Zeal and Farjung.
But never in the eyes of veteran PvPer has BoB seem good honest alliance, never it had looked like place I would like to belong to and rather would I see "retirement house of bored pvpers led by enough teenagers and few good souls" fade away.
So after looking BoB grow from seed from many ancient great alliances bored PvPers and become something like few rich pimps playing with some good players and thinking they cool
I must argue, BoB as instititution is based on lazy elite pvpers and few idiots beside something better, compared to proud certain nation based tight alliances like D2 and RA who have overcome the odds many times.
And If I honor the most people who sometimes let the ones who dressed up the longest take the field, for honoring the ancient code and as organisations those with ideals with humor, results still remembering its a game, I have always considered BoB beeing far from this ideal, but instead alliances like RA and D2 be not ideal but honest good alliances.
So with years of hostility with G(D2), RA, BOB I would but them in order RA>D2>BOB based on history, present and the intuition build in 3.5years I have loved playing this game.
So die bobbits, die and Nick and other once less lazy****gots come back home ;)

No I didn't tbh.
It just made a lot of ppl wonder why and how these 1000 players could rule 100,000 and ponder the fact that if you had the key to a bank and worked there for a long time and you were caught stealing.
a) the bank would want to limit the damage to their reputation by willingly accepting losses were light, accountants can be very creative.
b) you probably would steal more than five pounds / dollars.

Probably not really much to add that Jedilover and Tyrrax Thorrk haven't said already, but I'll say this.
Outside of reasons such as:
* Personal resentment of their arrogance and selfishness in diplomacy
* Resentment of their arrogant, contemptuous attitudes put forward on these forums
* Resentment of their holier than though attitude, repeatedly stated as "we're just better than you" being turned over by revelations of abuse of the game
I would say that much better reason to kill them is their publicly stated intention to control all space, and the fact that after winning the PVP tournaments, defeating the largest and richest alliance in game, taking its stations for income without having to defend them, having multiple titans and having killed one, they were in a position to potentially make this intention reality if they were not opposed by a large coalition of many of the remaining forces in Eve.
Koronos
P.S. btw, none of the other alliances in the coalition will be in the same sort of position to control all space after this war (if it ever ends), as they will likely all start shooting each other. So, you don't need to save BoB to prevent whoever it is exactly that you are worried about controlling Eve.

I dont think eve-o has much influence on the eve population. 99% of this stuff is crap. ( i know cause i post crap all the time) Its more of a place to ***** at one another for the eve community to see. As for the reason why i am shooting bob, thats because they are the best, razz my space and said they will take over all of eve 00 space. I dont want to pay a player "rent" to play a game, thats why i fight.
The Dev thing just ****ed me off, not the deciding factor for me to fight

only reason to kill anyone mentioned in this war is because Eve has come to a point were if no great war is active the game just flat out sucks...
this WAR allows people to recycle thier wealth and forces people to rebuild. Without a War the game is so boring that its almost not worth logging on with all the known bugs and stuffs hehe...

BOB has ****ed off many ppl, in their own times their forum arrogance was just like WTF!!!11!!, but now they are so quiet i allmost feel the need to defend them. Common folks, they arent that bad after all and they arent as bad for the game as ppl say. Frankly hate for bob is one of the motors of this game for months now...

It might be a little hard for some to understand, but many in my corp had a rivalry with Goons long before any of us came to EvE, a rivalry that pre-dates EvE in fact. See, just as Goons were formed up from the SA forums, we were formed up from the Tribalwar forums, and we have a long history of forum invasions and transgressions against each other.
When they burst on the scene, we fought them in Tribute, we fought them in Cloud Ring, Fade, and Deklien, and we even cheered on BoB at the time as they were kicked back into empire. Goons were seen as lewd, crude, and seemed to have no respect for the game or community.
The Goons went relatively unnoticed for months. In the meantime, BoB shows themselves to exhibit many of the same qualities we were lead to see in the Goons, only on a massive scale. BoB are lewd, crude, and have no respect for the game or community, and are corrupt from the very top of their alliance.
So yes, we support the Goons, because we hate BoB that much, and are willing to lay down all that history to get the job done.

Right now it is BoB who wished to dominate all of the 0.0 space. RA and D¦ are happy as they are. So i kinda tend to think that BoB are the bad guys right now.
There is only one alliance that could try to dominate the world after BoB are gone, but they would probably just as well be the next target.

Can't wait to get back to the good ole days of Alliance vs. Alliance, rather than 15 Alliances vs. Alliance. Will I get my wish? Not likely - at least until there are incentives in place by CCP to facilitate a return to that style of warfare. And until then, here's to the blob.

Have you at all read any of Mitanni's or Remedial's posts?
Goonfleet has a set-out plan for conquering all of EVE. Their allies don't seem to notice.
No side is "good" in this war. Band of Brothers had directors caught cheating, and Red Alliance has eight trillion in exploited ISK that CCP refuses to do anything about. LV had a GM, and D2 used IP addresses from a hacked forum to root out spies. Every single major side in this war has skeletons in their closet. Some just more than others.
Nobody is good. Nothing is white. Just shades of gray.

i think there has been a bit of a misunderstanding of the motives behind what has been happening of late. It is not that bob are being opposed en masse because they've proclaimed themselves to be the strongest. Just that for the first time in the game's history an entity has come out with both the will and the very much palpable ability to do just that - at least if things had continued much in the same way they previously had, with different alliances burrying heads in the sand when their neighbours came under attack. Eventually it was voiced quite openly that bob wanted to take over just about, oh, everything. The coalition aren't really 'good guys' of any sort, but simply represent everybody in eve who does not wish to have their territories subjugated by bob, nor wants to pay tribute for the privelege of 'loaning out' 0.0 space.
Granted, some members of the coalition already speak of loaning out space just the same, but ultimately coalition groups are independent and diverse in their aims, with few harbouring serious ambitious of conquest or indeed the ability to realise such if they did. If some sufficiently-determined startup wanted to carve out a niche with guns blazing, they'd likely be able to - but not in a world entirely dominated by bob.
so i guess what i mean to say is, the good guys largely depend upon what you believe best serves eve in the future.
