What's a BoB pet? The only definition I can come up with from reading this thread is "Ally of BoB". ???
I'm guessing everyone has their own definition... 
Do you REALLY believe BoB considers you an ally? On a par?!?

I'm guessing everyone has their own definition...
In this and other threads -- I've found the term "pet" used for someone who is living in another alliances sovereign space, sometimes paying rent, other times paying for the rent in common defence/etc activities.
An ally on the other hand lives in sovereign space of their own and works as part of a coalition of sovereign entities.
er another entity. Hence again the use of "pet" term by those who are market on the "official" map themselves.
I suppose "pet" term is less offensive anyway than what the terms for such entities were previously referred as (mining slave/b****)...
That's what I've picked up so far anyway... will continue to follow in awe  .
I was basically trying to point out that the word has lost all meaning as it pertains to how people are trying to use it. There is no one qualifying factor that all of these so called "pets" fall under.(at least I doubt anyone can come up with said definition) The word is simply used now in an attempt to insult and belittle anyone who would dare be friends to BoB. I think people have a lot of misconceptions as to the relationships between BoB and some of their allys as well.
BoB internally refers/used to refer to entities like fallen souls, xelas... as pets.
The following is just an educated guess but i think at one point it was decided that to keep their pets happy it would be better to stop doing so. Alot of BoB members i know still call you pets outside of the public though. And almost all still consider you pets.
And there is no reason for BoB to treat entities that have proven to be unable to stand on their own feet as allies on a par, is there?

So again, there is no definition... it is as I stated, used indiscriminately to categorize anyone who allys themselves with BoB. That's all I wanted to know.
Nope i have never heard any BoB member call their real allies pets. For example LV. As different people use the term there won't be the one definition. One indication of not beeing an ally on par of BoB can easily be spotted by having a look on Josh's map.

I don't really understand your last paragraph. How is anyone allying with anyone any different?? We help them, they help us, it is the definition of ally. 
I will just give one example. When the last entity tried to take over the small flick of space we inhabit they "kindly offered" beeing "allies". Among a few other ridiculous demands was us following their standings. Never going to happen.
Ask yourself:
Are Fallen Souls autonomous or do you have to follow BoB standings?
Does that make you an ally on par with bob?

Pet\Ally are completely interchangeable terms as far as I have seen on these forums.
Pet and ally are as interchangeable as my dog and my girlfriend!
And you don't share standings with BoB. BoB dictates your standings. You are simply no allies at eye level.
If you are ok with beeing subordinate to BoB because living in their space without the fear having to face someone waging a territorial war on you then suits you that is fine with me. Your choice. If you fail to see that you are everything bar allies on eye level with BoB then i am sorry for you.
