If military victory against an opponent is unlikely, other strategies are needed. Demotivation of the enemy is a valid strategy, commonly used to win wars.
So, let us look at what would demotivate BoB/MC:
Lack of PvP. Need of maintaining POSs by themselves and POS warfare in general.
How can we benefit from this:
Let BoB play with themselves. Do not worry about the BoB allies - they are way too scared to fight BoB (or already fighting BoB by not supplying them with targets), so they will not provide BoB with any fun.
So here, three certain ways to defeat BoB:
a) join the BoB bandwagon, with your corp/alliance. But please do not maintain any POSs, that is no fun and should be done by BoB. If BoB now wants you to leave, check possibility b)
b) dont be an active BoB target. If BoB attacks you, ignore them. Log on your empire/lowsec/pirating alts and continue having fun, while they have to work on your POSs, or camp empty systems.
c) steal BoBs targets, and have great fair fights with them. Currently Razor, MM, Goons, RA etc. Once BoB shows up, leave. Once BoB leaves the area, keep attacking their targets. Don't bother with the POSs, they are no fun, leave those for BoB to destroy.
In general, if BoB is spoiling your fun - do not play with them. Play with those that provide you with fun. Even kids know that policy. It works.
My forces have already adapted these strategies. We are stealing BoB targets whereever we can. There is no way we can loose.
Blacklight, we are stealing your targets! How will you counter this?

Ideas like this make me a sad panda. After such monumental wars in the past that shook the very foundations of eve (GNW) , to the modern day suggestion of hiding instead of fighting.
That isn't evolution of tactics so much as developing a big yellow stripe up your back.

Personally I think a victory against BOB would be very likey, when the coaliton wakes up and realises that to defeat a enemy that puts everything on the line, you must also put everything on the line and fight and fight AND FIGHT until they are dead and nothing remains.
Its just a game. Get over yourselfs. |

Here's an even better idea. Quit fighting anyone, including NPCs. Heck just cancel your account while cackling with glee at BOB's missed opportunities. Great idea. Let's all quit Eve and really show BoB.

It's not that simple.
We all know D2 suffered from a lack of stones when it came to putting it all out there, but the rest of the corps fought hard.
It really comes down to a lack of the hardcore.
What I mean is, the most hardcore players went to corps where others play eve as often and as hard as they do. Those corps happen to be bob corps.
IRON, Razor, etc do have some players that live and breathe eve, but they are not nearly as numerous.
It's really a numbers game. Alliance numbers are meaningless - it's the number of people willing and able to set alarm clocks to wake up at 0300 to pop a POS that determine the outcome of these things.
Fair? No, but life isn't fair. Do what's fun for you.

Quite well put.
Currently BoB is the force with most the fancy toys, and fancy chars.
What happens to spoiled children with all the fancy toys? You get some playing with them because they would so love the fancy toys as well.
The rest just ignores them, and has fun instead.

If the coalition want to win they have to attack bob and not its pets like they did (not that im complaining, pew pew = good) But I think its now a bit to late for this information as bob are on the offensive again.
Quote: b) dont be an active BoB target. If BoB attacks you, ignore them. Log on your empire/lowsec/pirating alts and continue having fun, while they have to work on your POSs, or camp empty systems
wouldn't that demotivate your troops and mean that you lose all station and pos's that alliances have worked for? your are either part of BOB or an fool.

I love the lines of thinking on these forums.
Problem: BoB is going to take over all of EVE! We'll all have to live under a tyrannical BoB hegemony!
Solution: Let's completely ignore them, refuse to fight them, and instead shoot the people that they are currently attacking when BoB isn't around!
Yeah! That'll show us!

Its actually not such a bad idea, although it would take too long for it to work and would be.... extremely boring. I dont fight BoB myself, but if you compare them to the Roman empire (valid comparison imho), your better off using the fact that the space they control is very large their borders far apart. Fast roaming gangs to split up their forces and a cyno chain with dreads that can jump in and out, sort of guerilla tactics. Hit a POS and then move out fast, dont get into trenchwar fights with supercaps.
Ok im going back to mining now

That wont realy work. You reinforce a pos, then when the pos comes out of reinforced, thy just refual it, meaning you just wasted your time doing hit and run tactics.

Someone gets it
And the great part is that all the core BoB players would welcome this, win or lose (Yes, "win or lose", in spite of what the whiny cynics spew).

Surely they'll just do what the Romans did and let the locals just get on with it. Keep friendly locals in charge, tax people, take whatever resources you want and grant additional breaks to those prepared to fight alongside you.
The Romans weren't in charge of their Empire - they were far too dilute on the ground. They just saw off anyone else who claimed they were in charge.

I never understood why people are so afraid to loose their stations, or why their so concerned about falling back to empire to rebuild. In fact being freed from your .0 assets should be quite liberating.

Falling back to empire is a shock which inevitably brings underlying problems of your corp/alliance to the surface thus acting as a catalyst towards making people becoming fed up and leaving. This in turn can cause a chain reaction leading to more people leaving since "there is nothing to do here anymore".
Unless there is a strong leadership corps/alliances generally suffer from falling back.

Depends really. If your corp/alliance/coalition is just for the sake of 0.0 access & carebearing, then it's not really liberating and usually means stagnation and usually "death".

Quote: That wont realy work. You reinforce a pos, then when the pos comes out of reinforced, thy just refual it, meaning you just wasted your time doing hit and run tactics.
I dont think its a waste of time, howlong does it take 10 dreads to put a deathstar pos into reinforced? Putting them into reinforced your only limited by the speed at which your roaming gang can get to a new POS. Maybe im derailing the thread a little, but i think one siege cycle is enough for 10 dreads to put a medium POS into reinforced right?

You dont nesesarry have to be smart to win a war... sometimes its enough to just fight.

I don't think BoB mind running POS. They have been running the largest POS-network of any alliance for months and months already - having sov in many many more non-station systems than any alleged 'carebear' alliance (that should conceptually enjoy running POS more) ever had.

c) steal BoBs targets, and have great fair fights with them. Currently Razor, MM, Goons, RA etc. Once BoB shows up, leave. Once BoB leaves the area, keep attacking their targets. Don't bother with the POSs, they are no fun, leave those for BoB to destroy.
In general, if BoB is spoiling your fun - do not play with them. Play with those that provide you with fun. Even kids know that policy. It works.
My forces have already adapted these strategies. We are stealing BoB targets whereever we can. There is no way we can loose.
Blacklight, we are stealing your targets! How will you counter this?

Good reply, you made me laugh.
But just for your information, there is still other people besides BoB on the server. No need to turn it off.

Your plan has a fatal flaw: there are too many people outside of BoB who like to fight, and care more about taking the opportunity to have a fight than about which alliance ticker gets to cover the most bright little dots with their color.  -------------------------- There is only one +6 sword of WTFPWN in Eve, and only the lag is allowed to equip it. |

Wow! The absolute GENIUS of that!
On Guerilla Warfare by Mao Zedong:
"The enemy advances, we retreat ... The enemy tires, we attack. The enemy retreats, we pursue."
The art of war by Sun Tzu (Some of BoB might know this ):
..."
Students of History may recall that the primary reason Mao succeeded in his revolution is the fact that the Japanese invaded and both simultaneously distracted the government while providing his movement with a useful method of amassing popular support (fighting the Japanese).
EVE warfare is not like real-life warfare. In my entire time in EVE, I have yet to see a guerrilla movement successfully dislodge a large scale alliance. In the real world, guerrilla movements are only successful if they are able to develop enough popular support to transition into a somewhat more conventional army capable of taking territory from a government who's support they have eroded.
Now, this is somewhat possible in eve. Guerrilla warfare is effective to a certain extent against an alliance's industrialists. A prime example of this is Celestial Apocalypse's campaign against CA's carebears in the Great Wildlands. Celes ganked a bunch of carebears while the bulk of CA's pvp forces were based in HLW, but they never succeeded in harming the alliance's actual ability to fight (mostly because CA was hopelessly broken, and those carebears didn't contribute squat to the alliance at the time).
Against BoB, guerrilla tactics can only be used against renter corps really. And judging by the current success ratios of alliances that have attempted to fight BoB by avoiding us in order to attack our tenets, this really isn't a very successful formula. But by all means, keep trying. We take pride in our rental program's ability to provide a safety net for new alliance while still requiring them to defend themselves against the daily threats of 0.0 life. Makes them stronger.

Sochin, I completely agree with your estimation of the efficacy of guerilla warfare in Eve.
Having been part of an alliance (Vertigo Coalition) that, while not incredibly successful, it was able to cause trouble in Fountain and other areas it operated. However, when it comes to who we saw as the power we were fighting against, we never really did much more than provide BoB pilots a place to vacation between campaigns.
I think we did a pretty good job of hassling the pro-BoB Fountain residents of the time. Certainly, that particular alliance has flourished in the region since we left and wasn't doing much but trying to keep its head above water while we were there.
So, yes...guerilla forces can operate and have a mild effect in Eve, but they simply don't have the same power as such forces tend to be able to exert in RL. Kind of in the same way that it's "fun" in Eve but I can't imagine that it's much of a joyride in RL.

Precisely. I love to fight.
If you read my OP again, you will find I recommend fighting. Just not BoB, they are out of balance currently.

See? No lack of opponents for those not willing to provide BoB with the fun of fighting them.
And Hey You, imagine these people all refuse to fight you and instead fight each other, might help you realize BoB is doing something wrong...
Originally by: The Dokter To the op: It's an pvp game, some people actually enjoy fighting, regardless if they win or lose 
Yes, fighting is great.
But only if you have a possibility of winning.
I know Outbreak handels this the same way.
Ask yourself: Can Outbreak win an all out fight versus BoB? Would you engage BoB to win against them? Are you fighting BoB? If you do not fight BoB, why not?
BoB/MC have destroyed the balance in this game. Tuxford can not fix this, and CCP in general should not. It is up to us players to fix the disbalance, as it should be.
BoB has successfully employed the strategy of amassing veteran players, faction equipment, combat boosters, pirate implants, t2 BPOs, Capital ships, Super Capitals and isk.
The Coalition has tried to restore balance, kudos to that. I myself have supported the Coalition in action and words to my best ability.
RaGoon still stand strong, and I whish them the best of luck of course.
But in the end, an EVE where BoB is the almighty power who choose who to blow up next, without any serious possibility of losing themselves - is that what you want? Is that what we want?
It might sound strange, but I have no problem with BoB in general. If any other alliance in the game would be in the position BoB is in now, I would be fighting against them. With the strategies I have available.
As BoB is hopelessly overpowered currently, I see the best strategy of fighting them in ignoring them. Let BoB watch us others have fun fights ingame, they can not join. BoB needs to realize they are disbalanced. We can help them with that realization.
Once BoB is back in balance, it will be a pleasure for me to fight with them or against them. But until then, it is a no-go.
Nothing personal.

We play EVE the way it is fun. Less metagaming, more fighting. Less capitals, more small ship engagements. Less POS wars, more fun fights.
BoB can stand by and watch in awe. Watch the game they once played, but have long forgotten.
We stand for diversity, fun and fairness. Maybe sometime in the future we can welcome BoB back into our community. Until then, BoB will be ignored.
look if you dont do pos wars then what are you scared off

In the times we posted on Bulletin Board System and had to make connection through a 2400bps modem we used to put "famous last words"-sentences underneath our mails. things like:
Famous last words: what does this button do? Famous last words: Hey look, archers! Famous last words: Honey I'm home!
One in particular came back to me when I read the Op:
Famous last words: Ignore it, it will go away.

While this really can be a sound strategy the problem with it is I believe that those folks avoiding BoB might become bored to and leave EVE.
The problem as someone else put it is that BoB has to many players that are devoting their lives to EVE compared to the other alliances. Its not really that BoB is better in any other way, they simply have a larger portion of their members ignoring real world concerns to play a video game. So while they might be winning at EVE, they probably aren't winning at life.
That's also BoB's greatest weakness. In time they are going to realise they don't really have the time to devote to a video game as they have in the past. Any number of events could force them into such a decision. That's really when their empire will start to crumble.
Revelations 2 will make hit and run more viable. With the moving of POS defenses outside the shield it'll be easier to inflict monetary loss on the great empires. As a result if there is sufficient amount of this we may see the bigger empires shrink some. I know that's what CCP is hoping, I"m not sure it will work, I'm not sure we'll see enough hit and runs to cause enough damage. I'm also afraid that this will effectively keep smaller alliances and corps from establishing sovereignty.
Anyway BoB is much more likely to fall because of RL pressures, such as those that led the corps to leave D2 to form Evoke, than from actual in game events. Idea: Treaties Idea: Jump Rigs |

Edited by: bloomich on 05/06/2007 08:55:02 So lets get this straight.....
You want the old Brittish tactic of Divide and Conquor with a new twist, being applied to your own side, so you guys fight each other thus denying bob of killing you, in a hope that if you dont kill yourselfs, bob will get so bored that they wont either?
If you kill yourselfs or run away from bob, then, if I pardon being the Genius, would have to note that it would make it easier for anyone to steamroll through your space?
The plan is as convulated as my sentences. 
This has got to be the worst plan I have ever heard. But to each his own!

I know Outbreak handels this the same way.
Ask yourself: Can Outbreak win an all out fight versus BoB? Would you engage BoB to win against them? Are you fighting BoB? If you do not fight BoB, why not?
I have been thinking a lot about these ôBOB has won the war, all is lostö-threads and the big question still is. Did BOB win? In my opinion they didn't. MC and friends destroyed D2, but RaGoon and friends destroyed LV. So atm we are at same point as where the war started. The Alliance owns 30% of eve, the Coalition owns, 30-40%? Look at KOS, RaGoon, IAC, AAA, new regions, Razor, MM. They all have their space and are very a live and kicking. So no BOB didn't win eve, they only have the momentum atm. Eve changes so fast that if we look at this thread in 2 months, we all laugh, there will be new naps, new enemy's and the same people to shoot at 
If the coalition would attack BOB again and with full force this time, they have a big change of winning it. They have more people, they have more cap ships (only the titan count is a bit off, but....where are the RA titans?), so I don't think eve is won.
The interesting question would be, what if the coalition would have won. Picture this, the northern nap fest would have been even stronger, so the north would have been one happy carebear heaven RaGoon would only have friends around them, so another big nap fest. So would that situation be good? No, maybe even worse then the 30-40 situation that happened now.
Answering you question about OB, we kill everybody on our overview, so yes we also shoot BOB. And no, an all out attack of BOB against us would mean defeat; 200-2000 is a bit over the top. But the current war isn't about one alliance (or corp) attacking another, it's about 12k people against 15k, so no eve isn't lost, no bob didn't win the war and no I will not quiet the game because some people think all is lost 
O and how the coalition could win the war: AAA attacks mc, mm and razor attack Fountain, IAC and the rest of the North attack Q and RaGoon attack delve. Keep this going fore a month and some regions will fall, it will cost a lot of ships, but in the end itÆs about who wins sovereignty and not who has the best K/D ratio.

i couldnot understand why all people trying to rlease their super plan to get BOB killed. This is EVE universe and BOB is the one player base entity of it as many others in the game and there are lots of things in this universe to accomplish RPG PVP etc. In my opinion BOB , RA and others like them achieve something in the game in their way and others who like PVP or their superpower must try to form up a challenging power against it.This game is not the thing we have to porve ourselves what we are we are doing that stuff in our real lives. This game is here to have fun in our spare time and instead of always thinking the destruction of achievements have fun of it and achieve your goals but that is not a must you are not gaining in real life when you achieve something in this game as EULA says you are only enjoying your spare time. I am playing these online games not to be proud of myself ( i have enough of them in real life ) only to have fun of it. On the other hand instead of destroying something you may selcet a way of construction. Contruct a good pvp corp , industrial corp etc . You dont have to get rid of other players accept it or not after you destroyed BOB are those players get lost ? NO When you kill a player in game is he shooted out of this game ? NO So you have to accept every player in the game and also have respect at least for the ones who is trying to have fun of this game You cannot kill BOB,D2,ASCN or RA you can only make them change their name and players alliances you cannot restrict players advance no matter what you do this is not a game gaining exp points by killing NPC player etc this is a time based skill points improving game
