So having read the original post there seems to be three main points padded out with a lot of flannel, conjecture and hearsay.
First û BoBÆs previous victories over the last 3+ years were all propaganda, so therefore they will lose this time.
Second û BoB will lose because theyÆre membership has grown over the last twelve months. The new members must be rubbish because Bob hasnÆt had a successful recruitment policy ever.
Third û Our spies havenÆt picked up on the messages being handed down from the BoB leadership, therefore they must be lying to the membership and will lose soon enough.
ThatÆs the short version of JamesÆs post û all hearsay based on COAD threads, which we all know is the most accurate source of information (a bit like the Sunday Sport or the Daily Mirror).
ThereÆs a big assumption being made in this thread û that BoB is currently losing. The simple fact of the matter is they arenÆt. The fight is being fought in space that wasnÆt BoBÆs two months ago û how can Bob be losing when they (and their allies) have repelled 30,000 EvE accounts from BoB space and have taken the fight into Coalition territory?
Now I have an opinion on why the Goons will ultimately lose. The more Goons develop, the more skill points they gain, the more expensive ships they fly, the more they become like every other alliance in the game û the more the horrendous kill / death ratio will hurt them. Crushing defeats night after night will take its toll.
The coalition propaganda machine is in full swing - if we say it enough then maybe people will believe it, maybe the BoB membership will believe it - maybe it's just bullsh*t.
The only reason why I've posted in this tone, is to put an opposite point of view to the one being presented in this thread. This war will ebb and flow much more before either side crumbles. I'm loving the way it's turning into a real competition - six weeks ago it looked like BoB would walk right through Goon space, but credit to the Coalition for sorting their house out. Lets hope it continues for many more months.
