The impression I got was that the interviewer was trying to avoid asking Janus any questions that were too perceptive and risk Janus's simply refusing to answer.
The end result was a worthless use of space on the news page.

ROFL - that's one of the best (and appropriate) replies I have seen in a long time.

Stood up against BoB? You mean attacked Xelas for a few weeks and failed miserably? Or how you are losing your regions almost as fast as ASCN did because you are just another empty-shell carebear alliance? Enjoy Empire. Lawl.
I know where D2 failed. That was not what I was asking. My question was simple: What did Rise ever achieve to give you the right to talk big on these forums? Was getting beaten all over the place by the old NORAD guys your highlight? Or running away and bying space in BoB territory?
IŠll answer the question myself: you achieved nothing. You are just another bigmouthed nobody surfing on the wave of success of other people.

The river is called the "Nile" or the "River Nile". Please get it right and stop perpuating this lame phrase. There is no river in Egypt called "Denial". You seem like an educated person DS, please act like one.
Lol. You're a moron.
.
Back on topic. "We didn't want Venal anyway" is what i gathered from that interview.

Well, they did something right, because they prosper whilst you perish.

anyway, the interview is stupid and i have no idea why it was even posted. 
I have to agree. When it was first posted I didn't know whether it was just a troll or a proper interview. Needless to say I was stunned to see it in the 'official' news.

Absolutely the correct atitude as far as I am concerned Creon.

It was that attitude that won American independence.
Well that and relying on the French for help.......

I guess defending our core systems, as well as acting as support, against 3 months of assault by Goonswarm, Red Alliance, Intrepid Crossing, Ka-Tet, Moris Mihi, RAZOR, and various other smaller alliances, outnumbered 10-1 most of the time, is something someone in your alliance would not understand since you have done nothing but consistently fail in military action and lost your regions to your enemies.
RISE and our allies are all part in the Great Coalition Humiliation, like it or not, your side has been crushed, and everyone in the Alliance has played their part. Not to mention the fact, that I ever said RISE was new article worthy, I just stated D2 surely is not, and frankly, never were. Your time had been coming for a long time now. Maybe you should of thought about how you treated you allies such as RISE and You What many months ago, but I guess hindsight is 20/20.

I think everyone is getting a little off topic and onto another bashing.
The interview may have a left something to be desired but if u actually read into it you may find what their really trying to say.

It is obvious the interviewer was pretty pro-BoB. Every question (at least the first half) was pretty much just a subtle jab against D2. "How does the loss of 3 corporations and a titan affect your ability to fight this war?" "What was the outcome of your assault into BoB space?" "How has D2 responded to Triumvirate's claim to Venal?"
These are all dumb questions that the interviewer (and most people involved in the conflict) know the answer too, yet he is just trying to get D2 to admit they are losing.

They might not be responsible for the answers but if you're taking the interview and you realize the person on the other end isn't bothering to give you a somewhat serious answer then one should simply walk away and interview someone who can be bothered to answer the questions. The last thing you should do it post it in between actually interesting news stories.
As I stated previously, the time taken to set up an interview, do it, write it up then edit it, not even taking into account managing to get reporter and interviewee online at the same time means that our ability to say nah this isn't going well, screw it is a little compromised.
Volunteers have to do a flexible minimum of six hours per week, sadly I am unable to ***** a whip and get them to put in 40+ a week, we reserve that for Tsuki :D

What questions would you have asked then? If you can do better why not sign up as a IG reporter?

Am not completely clueless but like to think am not trolling either. Call it being slightly contentious to hopefully spark debate......
Am interested in your reply however. I can understand BoB paying some people to fight - makes sense to subsidise good PvP corps / or alliance so they are fighting full time. I was not aware however that other alliances paid BoB? What for exactly? Is it a staight forward 'give us Tribute and do what we say and we will not kick you in the goolies' kind of deal? Or is there more of a quid pro quo going on?
As for the rest of the interview - would agree that it was not journalism of the highest order. Also agree that the D2 chappie was far to evasive. He would have been far better to have leveled and said 'yup, we gave it a good ***** invading BoB space and took a bit of a kicking. With the support of our allies and our massive industrial background we will match BoB if they try and come at us' sort of thing.
Or more in character if he had prefered.
As for the people that asked what my original point was. Publishing this interview just seems to be part of an effort to normalise the anti BoB war - or more specifically the back ground reasons for it.
Ah, as someone implied, maybe I am just paranoid, now where is my tn foil
hat.......
there are a lot of corps that rent space in 0.0 off the holding alliance.

Don't attack people for not knowing idioms. They are not commonly taught in foreign language instruction and are not universal to all dialects of a language. If you are familiar with how the river is correctly pronounced in Arabic, the expression makes no sense at all.

Are you seriously defending the guy who came in here throwing a hissy fit on a public forum about an expression he did not understand? Lmao.

By standup you mean beating their chest on the forums then getting rolled up by the same people they just mocked on the forums. Yes, well done indeed.
