It is interesting to note that it is the swing in perception is a huge determinate in alliance level warfare as a truly staggering amount of people simply hurry to join whoever the apparent winner is in any given conflict.
Watching alliances scramble over themselves to 'make friends' with MC once MC had the perceived advantage swelled the MC ranks. All sorts of entities that wouldn't put a ship in space under normal conditions, suddenly start showing up in significant numbers when assured they'd have the safety of MC support.

This is a word many of you 0.0 gankjockeys never learn, so I'm not at all surprised by this.
Let me help you.
The word you're failing to find is LEADERSHIP.
As usual, you are entirely mistaken.
Leadership works on all levels, but is not the phenomenon I am referring to. MC can happily claim that they fight harder and better for being well led. You'll find us 'gank jockies' are also perfectly aware that ops run smoother or choppier depending on who leads them.
No, the real item I was calling out there is that many people are basically gutless swine, looking to pile on for the easy win. The ever-growing swarm of people rushing to kiss up to MC and co. isn't because MC's leadership was amazing. They may or may not be, no its simply that the vultures wanted to be on the winning side when the end rolled around.
This certainly isn't the case merely in the larger wars, you'll see it all the time in disputes all over EVE. Heck, even the recent Providence scuffles had that as well, with various gutless groups rushing to kiss up to whoever they felt currently had the stronger chance of victory.
I consider it more an ugly display of human nature.

Wasn't because Goons leadership was amazing. They may or may not be, no its simply that the vultures wanted to be on the winning side when the war kicked off.
I fixed the quote for you.
Heh, amusingly enough I don't think you are wrong. There was definitely a rush to join up against BoB when it looked like the other team might get big enough to blob you out. I think it was a more cautious rush simply because not as many people were convinced BoB was actually beat at the time.
