There's a fundamental misunderstanding here. Goons are assuming that the alliances under BoB want to be independent entities and desire to have pride in controlling themselves, because that's the way the goons feel. If all of the "pets" in this thread are to be believed, being independent simply isn't that valuable to them, so the goons aren't getting the psychological value that they would if they were talking to people similar to themselves.
I suppose you should agree to disagree.

Originally by: cal nereus Edited by: cal nereus on 27/07/2007 05:30:06 There are two types of organizational structures that I see at work here: hierarchy and committee.
BoB and its allies seem to be very hierarchical, while RA and Goonswarm are less so.
RedSwarm seems to be an alliance of autonomous entities, although clearly one is the big bear and the other the bees. The bees help the bear and the bear helps the bees, and although one seems more dangerous than the other, both mutually benefit from the relationship. Command is not centralized with one or the other except in times when it is needed.
Band of Brothers and most of its allies, on the other hand, are a true hierarchy. One dominant powerhouse that is on the top of a pyramid containing the other lesser powers at the base. Some real-world analogies might include the League of Delos (Athens) or the Warsaw Pact (Soviet Union). I would like to point out that this hierarchical structure of alliance has worked in the past, and from a security view point it is a smart move on the part of BoB.
There are exceptions in both camps, but I'm not going to mention them, because I'm wallowing in my own bias.

If this is your definition of a BoB pet then there are NO bob pets in existence unless of course you can categorically prove otherwise?
No? I did not think so. 
Ask Fix. That was the condition placed on them when Bob 'saved' them from the greuling war over a year ago when 6 alliances were pounding on them. Its why our corp left. We were also forbidden from putting up our own Outpost. All stations were to be owned by Bob.
Enough proof for ya?

Ya that will do, so it's obvious that are multiple standards operating here then? I know for a fact that BoB did not ever vet FATAL member corp when we had our little stay in fountain. I am fairly sure AXE was not vetted in this manner also?
So in response to the OP, its clear that not all so called pets are made equal and by his own definition some people regullary called pets by your allies princess are not pets, and some are.. Does that clear everything up?

Do you people actually play eve or just read crap here, assume is real and discuss?
When are the renters gonna turn on BoB, they can have thier own lev 4 sov blah blah.
The op's statements are ********. "If your alliance isn't allowed to decide which corps join your alliance, and Dianabolic does it for you, you are a pet." if not you are a spy riddled alliance like redswam begging for renters to trun on thier landlords cuz you have ran out of luck...see you in space. oh

If you really feel that way, then how come the goonies didn't act as an independent entity?
Why did you run and hide behind RA's skirts after you were driven out of Syndicate? Why didn't you stand on your own? Why did you beg Joshua to have goonie-occupied systems labelled as RA on his map?
I'd be amused, but goonie logics frighten and confuse me! lawlz!11!

Originally by: Scatim Helicon rather than the influx of miners and producers we were hoping to get we ended up with 90%+ ratters
Its hard to mine when there is no security and you are likely to get ganked before long.
No more so than to rat - PvE Ravens don't really last much longer when caught by a roaming PvP gang than mining Ospreys do - and as I said we had no shortage of ratters.
Besides, the fact that the FTZ was operating for as long as it did in our space, and that we shut it down ourselves when we determined that it wasn't working out for us (rather than have it fall apart under us as the tenants got endlessly perma-ganked and said 'screw this' after a week or two), suggests that things weren't as bad as you say, no?

Originally by: Zarimax Mishka It's going to get REAL interesting when these pets û RISE, RMF, SOCO û get sovereignty level 4 and realize that they can turtle up with cyno jammers and jump bridges and invulnerable POSes and defend themselves without paying BoB a penny...
Or is BoB forbidding pets from getting constellation capitals?
Speaking for RISE, we've no interest in trying to unilaterally change our arrangement with BoB and the GBC. Sov4 will not change that we find our allies in the GBC to largely be easier to work with and more likely to cover one-another's back than the political alliances we enjoyed prior to joining the GBC.
We like our allies, we respect the agreements we 'signed' when we came to Feythabolis, and we're enjoying the fights (please keep bringing 'em and keep 'em smack free -- we like that best!).

P.S. RA ever let you run a complex down there?
The entire point of this thread, which you seem to be ignoring, is that living in the same space and protecting each other is one thing; living in the same space, (maybe) protecting each other, AND one organization controlling internal affairs of another are two different things.
The relationship between Goonswarm and RA is not the same fundamental relationship as that between BoB and it's allies- the devil is in the details in this argument.
I would assume that Goonfleet asked not to be listed as seperate because they wanted time to build and arm while they moved into their new space. What does this have to do with RA controlling internal Goonfleet policies and politics? Nothing. Ding ding ding...the point of the thread.
As for the complexes, I notice none of the goons are answering you. I'm not in goonfleet, so I can say that as far as I understand, they didn't want them anyway.
OHLOL
LET THE BASHING BEGIN
Real question, as a relatively new player- are complexes still easy to run now that most of the static ones are gone? Is there a 10/10 somewhere in a certain area of space every day, or is it more random than that?

Oh joy another anti bob thread phrased as a question.
Id say the corps or alliances that pay rent in bob space (if they do) are proly the carebear type who do not fight but just make isk but i know for a fact that fatal pay nothing and in fact got 2 station for fighting along side bob allies and mc in the north.
So by your measure because we were the ones getting paid does that make bob our pets?.

This is my understanding of our relationship with BoB. It is somewhat inherently inaccurate, as I didn't make the actual deal, and it was never posted in its entirety to my understanding. That said, basically FIX gets control of FIX space, but in BoB's name. We own 4 stations in Q, and BoB owns 1. Other than that, they have next to 0 poses in Q, while we basically have some in every system. So the Sov thing is not an issue.
As for letting corps in, if we really wanted another corp in FIX, it would get in. In the beginning, it was strongly suggested to limit ourselves to bigger and fewer corps. That has worked very well for us, but so you know, we have added corps since that strong suggestion. But FIX generally agree that bigger/fewer corps are much better, because it gives more structure to the overall alliance. You get to keep most of the crappy issues inside your corp without having to bother the alliance about it.
In the end, we really don't care that you don't like our relationships with BoB, because:
1) You assume everyone wants to be like you....... No really, Goons do think that. 2) You have never been able to beat BoB+allies, and that really ****es you off. Understandably. 3) You don't get that there is more to the game than winning. I genuinely like BoB, after flying with them just a few times. They are the best, and we accept that. I mean really, if we were better than BoB, there would be some reason to not like the current relationship. But as it stands now, it gives us a plethora of ways to grow that we would not be able to take advantage of any other way.
So we're happy with our arrangement. It is widely known that when we are strong enough to hold our space, it will be ours. The thing is, we have become the punching bag of the South, and while that makes my day, it has disadvantages. Such as a high burnout/dropout rate within FIX. I understand, it's not for everybody. But it seems like just when we start to really get good, we have a wave of guys leaving. Like I said, that's fine. There are enough loyal guys that it never gets desperate, and it's nice to always have new faces in gang.
So I hope this gives you a little better picture of the relationship between BoB and FIX. I do try to stay out of these threads, but it seemed a little one-sided. Hopefully the average CAOD reader will see that most of the time, when you have to resort to name calling and labeling your opponents such things as "pets," it's because you don't have anything else worth listening to. Oh btw, this applies to everyone here. There are some FIX and BoB that would do well to stop posting here. But hey, it is all in fun right??? hmmmm........ silly people.
See you guys in space, and fly safe.

Originally by: Achaiah Also, if your alliance accepts that Joshua Foiritain mark your alliance's space as BoB space in that map of his, you are a pet.
You mean like how the goonies used to send sad little notes to Joshua begging him to mark goonie space as RA space, because they didn't want the attention? (This was after getting crushed utterly in Syndicate.)
RA let you guys use a plex yet?
Seeing goonies and IAC people going on about pets over and over and over again pretty much is an automatic winner for the "Best inadvertent self-reference" category for the Interwebs awards. Just great stuff.

Its the difference between a hierarchical alliance and a co-operative alliance. The first has one power dominating the others (Athens in the League of Delos or the USSR in the Warsaw Pact). The second has multiple powers helping each other (The Triple Entente before the Great War or an animal kingdom analogy of the bears and the bees sharing the honey). ---
