To benefit from cheating you have to be reasonably good. But truth is, there are lots of people playing this game who are as good and dedicated as they are. Some even better.
This game is a game of positive feedback. Winning a previous dispute gives you advantage in the next one. Winning consecutivelly gives you too many resources. If you get a bunch of competent players, and they don't have to be exceptional in any way, just competent, and repeatilly offset the balance in their favor by meta-gaming manipulations, like giving priviledged market info and easy access to valuable prizes, they will get so strong that eventually nothing besides huge numerical disadvantage will be able to challenge then. That does not prove in any way that they are good, just that they are not awful. Actually at this point they could be much worse than their opponents and would still win. Which is highly unfair from a competitive game's perspective.
Numerical advantage is difficult to achieve in this game as it is only a game and people do not really have many things to lose by betraying aiming for petty self-interests. In the brief time it was achieved BoB was on the ropes. Until a mass attack that produced less effect than it should given the limitations of the game and a very akward intervention of CCP. The results of this intervention were very negative to the coallition, and there will always be the suspection that it was intended to be like so. Chances are the idea of making this intervention at that exactly time came from a BoB "friend" in CCP. A totally neutral decision I should remark.
The example you gave just show how much you don't understand the game and how much you don't learn from the past and how much BoB do.
1) the limit on the # of player in a system have been posted in dev blog long before.
2) the atteck was an exact example of why bob won and the other side lost.
the main target of the atteck was a titan, one of the attecking groups KNOW FULL WELL that titan wasnt there becuse they bought the BPO and they where building the titan, instead of telling there friends "listen we got that BPO lets pretend to go after the baby titan but instead go after Bob/MC cap fleet" they decide to keep the info a secret and the result was a blow to the coalition, the blow was made harder when people learn that they been flat out lied to and that they lost cap ships for no reason.
BoB on the other hand shared the right info with there alliance leaders and the result was a force willing to fight with them and to take the fight to the other side.
Or maybe you claim that it was dev/bob alts that are leading the coaltion?

2) Everyone knows that a titan was blown that day. It is obvious SirMolle lied to save face after they couldn't protect their POS, even with the help of CCP...
No, but I'm sure if you keep telling yourself and your friends that then maybe it will come true in your head!

Well, either I believe in this or I believe in you. You are not exactly a trustworth person.
There is the fact that AAA (evil thug if i remember right) have posted that there was no titan there.
But they are probably just BoB fanboy.
