I had an interesting conversation thrown at me yesterday. An alt representing a disillusioned member of one of our competitor alliances convoed me and asked a question that left me a tad floored. He was unimpressed by what he perceived as the lies and propaganda which had been fed to him from his senior directors and wanted to know what we were actually about. What exactly is it that BoB want in the game?
I won't put my thoughts down here, because I want everyone who is NOT in BoB to come back with a reply and tell the rest of the world what they have been told to believe. What do YOU think the raison d'etre is for what most people believe to be the strongest alliance in the game?
Feel free to use your non-alliance alts to post. Alliance directors need not respond as its your own (mis?)information that we're polling, here. |

Probably. I was kind of hoping that we may get some reasoned responses though. I'm guessing that if you cut through the swathes of fanboys and flag waving loonies and you will find quite a few confused people who have some very strange ideas as to what it's all about, and it's those people to whom I address this thread.
If I get two or three reasonable responses I will consider this to be a success. I am not going to hold my breath. |

Actually this could turn out to be an interesting thread. As to the op:
A challenge, to be overcome by a concerted effort utilizing all facets of the game.
Doesnt sound bad, but unfortunately lead to "win by any means". Oh, and DICE are in it for the smack.

I'm not directly involved in the current conflict, more like standing on the side and trying to harass your supporters in any way possible (ingame, of course).
I got the impression that you as corporations and as an alliance seek challenges and have your fun while overcoming them. Who would not, seriously. It's a game after all, regardless of all the smack and drama from both sides.

You know that our impressions of what you guys are after is not fed to us by our leadership. That comes right from the mouths, or fingers, as it were, of your leadership on these forums. A lot of it is just a show, but from time to time, the truth slips out, and is backed up by the way you guys "play" the game.
So, to answer your question - you guys want to see Joshua's Map with one solid color encompassing all of 0.0, and there is no shady or outright exploitative use of game mechanics you guys won't use to try and make that happen. Exploitative in this case, is defined by common sense and what we know to be the spirit of the game, not the high-on-drugs CCP definition.

The version I've repeatedly heard, ultimately is just that BOB wants to control all of 0.0. A goal I'd think is overly ambitious but then... it certainly cant be denied that ultimately they control a great deal of teritory. The real question then, would be can A) They actually take it all then B) Hang onto it. Honestly in the end I feel the answer is no. 0.0 is just to damn big.
But eh, it makes life interesting

Actually i'll humour you.
From this war i wanted some fun , some fleet warfare, and some jokes.
Ive had 2 but the jokes is missing.
I also didnt actaully want to see BOB die or anything, cos well what would a game be without an evil empire bad guy? and what would the game be without goodie goodie europeans 
The main reason im not particcipating is cos its just not fun. when i was in MC space that was fun, we dint win, but it was fun. In esoteria we dint win but it was fun...now though..it just seems stale. boring..tiresome..
Battles are won at the planning stage..and well thats great and all good, but yaknow..its boring.

BoB wants to win EVE ( IE claim all of 0.0 ) at all cost. And try to accomplish this by using all options available to them. Some of these options however are frowned uppon by a lot of the "regular" EVE players. But other large entities make use of these options as well. BoB just seems to be better at it.
And if you wonder options I'm talking about just take a look at the recent E-drama's BoB was involved the last year or so

As I view it, BoB wants to NAP all 0.0 space by installing alliances friendly to them. That is their end game. When that is done, they have achieved what they set out to do. Considering that BoB is the strongest alliance, without a doubt the best at capital warfare, plus Eve’s endless supply of alliances that want to be on the strongest side so they don’t have to struggle to survive, it is quite possible that they will succeed.
BoB is not about a good fight, or a challenge or fighting enemies stronger or equal. They want to fight those who are weaker (like most others in Eve) and if they are in a situation where they face tough opponents, then smart politics and new allies are used to turn the situation around. There is nothing wrong with that really. When your alliance dogma states that you must kill your opponent to avoid being a failure, you simply have to see to it that you don’t freely walk into a fight where you can be beaten.

Seems somewhat obvious, since you don't seem to be asking for short or long term tactical goals. Bob players are after challenging things while feeling they are among the top dogs of the game.

Attention. They wouldn't raise a royal stink about everything they do and couch it in such propaganda-like tones if they didn't want attention. They want to capture all of 0.0 because they hope that the whole EVE universe will come crawling to them and give them the attention they crave, bowing and scraping and rejoicing at their mighty victory of pewpew over all the universe.
Reality though, is that they'll be doing a lot of self-backslapping, alt posting about how great they are, and receiving oral attention from their puppets when it's over. They've sealed their fate in the PR department long ago via their many scandals and perfidous behaviour. When it's all over and the shouting is done, it'll be hollow because the rest of the universe (what little is still playing the game) will be going "big deal"...
...and those of us whose mantra is "BoB who?" will still be living it up in Empire.

Its what we all want really, kinda sad that you're the only one so far to state what has always been blatantly obvious. Stupid tinfoil hatters are always freaking out over how BoB is taking over all of EvE. PvPers are like *****heads and taking over EvE would amount to killing the all dealers and smoking the last rock. Within a week they would freak out and off themselves. I saw something like this happen in Fountain just after Christmas, it got really ugly...

I think Bob (and the players within) wants the same like every Eve-player.
Read once some Scientific things about. As i remember Mmorg players look for a clear and structured Way and clear rules to achive something ecspecialy if such clear way is missing in Rl. Mmorgs are more often played by kind of depressive people looking for friendship and respect, others prefer things like Counterstrike in the online world in order to dominate others easily.
I think if you play an online game you look more or less (depends of your charakter)for teamplay/grouplay, achivements within the game as singleperson or as group, virtual might, respect of others , competition with- or domination of others with skill or better assets.
Think that is what bob looking for like all player of eve.
Maybe they are more after the Might&Respect thing.
They want Might and Ground to live orterwise they would not eridicate possible competitors or spent that much effort in spys, politics and such things.
And Bob wants respect otherwise they would not post things like the "90 days see what we have done" thread these days.
