What is now necessary is for the aura of invincibility to be broken. When Bob pilots wake up from the Dream they have been living - when doubt creeps into their minds - that is when their defeat begins. I feel the attempt to keep that doubt away is the main goal of Bob at the moment. As witness, I point to how any critique of Bob is immeatiately flamed with one-lines from Pets and Alts. This is their propoganda machine attempting to pull the rug back over the ugly thing that was unearthed. Look at James' first analysis for examples of that behavior.

I predict that when Bob does eventually fall, it will not be by the inability of Bob pilots to field quality ships or due to significant strategic losses. It will be a sudden event, where all the rats suddenly flee the sinking ship. As pointed out before, many of their players have switched sides before and therefore why not do it again?

What I expect (and admittedly via my own propaganda attempt to encourage) is the Pet morale to break first. I was encouraged with the expulsion of Xelas, not because of any weaking of Bob by losing Xelas but rather because I hoped other Pets would look twice at their Master and wonder when the rolled-up newspaper would be swung in their direction. Fix's current prediciment may mean that MC comes to save them. I hope Fix sees that it is not Bob who is saving them, but another entity, and realize that Bob has no right to Master Fix.

When those events start, it will be interesting to see how many of Bob pilots will fight to the death now that it will mean their death instead of someone elses.
