Welcome to the final chapter in the YACAODI1MAC "Why Is BoB Losing?" trilogy. Thus far, we have discussed what BoB has been and what BoB currently is, but we have discussed little of what BoB will be in the future, and how the war will proceed from here. Our futures are not set in stone, and they are not determined by previous mistakes. Rather, our futures are made by the decisions we have yet to make. And past performance is no guarantee of future results.
But since no one actually believes that nonsense, on we go!
Why Is BoB Losing? Part III: The Region's Not That Nice
Stoop, Romans, stoop, and let us bathe our hands in Caesar's blood up to the elbows, and besmear our swords: Then we walk forth, even to the market-place, and, waving our red weapons o'er our heads, let's all cry 'Peace, freedom and liberty!' -- Brutus, Julius Caesar
Before we begin today, there is a misconception floating about that I wish to burst. The misconception usually takes the form of a sarcastic BoB pilot saying something like "We're losing (fill in the blank)? I guess I'd better pack up my stuff and move to Jita to mine veldspar! Hyuk, hyuk!"
This essentially boils down to a false choice presented by BoB and its leadership, where either A) BoB wins the war, or B) All BoB pilots mine in high-sec until the servers go down
Since it is obvious that BoB pilots won't all be doing the latter, they conclude that BoB cannot lose or be destroyed. However, this dichotomy overlooks a wide range of possibilities that are each more likely than either of the above. There are many alternatives for BoB pilots to choose from when the Band of Brothers alliance collapses.
The old favorite is the idea that all of BoB will migrate to "Pirates of the Burning Sea" when that game is released. It is true that many BoB members eventually will and already have left to other games (e.g. Blacklight; as discussed in Part II, the BoB of today is not the same as the BoB of its "glorious" past). But there will be no mass exodus to PotBS. For one thing, in a twist of irony, PotBS has Goon devs.
Instead, BoB members who have become frustrated with BoB's state and the endlessly losing POS wars against RSF will seek greener pastures within Eve. For the old guard, this means getting back to what made Eve fun in the first place: flying in an elite PvP outfit and engaging in combat (rather than POS wars). This type of BoB player is already enviously looking at the performance of Outbreak or their "pet", the Mercenary Coalition. And there are already murmurs as the most elite BoB PvP'ers begin to have conversations about forming such an alliance for their own; they know SirMolle will never boot Shinra no matter how much he regrets their incorporation. For the Shinra bandwagon types--and everyone else who just wants to win--it means finding battles they can win and regions they can influence, rather than simply losing all day in the east. These BoB members are watching as the malleable north takes shape completely without their input.
While there was a time when the question of "what do I do now that my alliance is dying" was always answered by "join BoB", this is no longer the case, and the BoB pilots themselves have many attractive options that give them more excitement than the prospect of being gloated over by Goons who took another of their systems. But unless the Band of Brothers really does fall apart at the seams, this is all just academic (except for the BoB pilots who have already left and those who are currently planning to leave). So the question becomes, will BoB lose the war?

When people debate the question of who is currently winning, they often rely heavily on a favorable-looking starting point for comparison. For example, BoB will say it is winning by pointing out the untruth of "see you in NOL" or that BoB is no longer losing stations in Feythabolis. A Goon will retort that the reality is even further from "there are no Goons" or "Chowdown, we're stealing your targets!"
Rather than relying upon a starting point for comparison, I prefer to ask two simple questions. First, "time is on whose side?" Second, "what can we learn from the most recent engagements?" I will address the second question first: it is simpler for the moment because all of the recent battles have gone in the Coalition's favor.
BoB's current state in the east, ironically enough, reminds me of ASCN's situation about halfway into the war against BoB. (Don't worry, this is not the start of another rant about the ASCN war.) At that stage, BoB had obtained what one might term "POS supremacy": ASCN couldn't destroy any BoB POSes, nor could it successfully defend any of its own. As long as POS supremacy is maintained by the other side, it is simply not possible to have a favorable result in the long-term. It is devastating for morale, especially for the people who have to put their capitals at risk, because they know the outcome will be bad. (Actually, no one "has to" put their capitals at risk, and since they don't, they will stop doing so when they lose hope.)
Lately BoB has been incapable of popping Goon POSes. At the very least, they cannot do it on a reliable enough basis to wage war. The battle of 9-9 was extremely important for both sides, since it is the most important system for two regions. After RSF was able to destroy dozens of BoB POSes, BoB had to prove itself equally capable of destroying Goon POSes--the resulting stalemate being the best result for BoB. But despite SirMolle ordering BoB on a mandatory op (and indeed threatening people with expulsion if they didn't show up), BoB's entire warmachine failed to destroy even a single Goon POS. They lacked firepower, confidence, numbers, and timezone coverage. Incidentally, the mandatory op against Goon POSes in 9-9 should put an end to the excuse that "BoB is only losing because it wouldn't risk capitals for fear of a desync." They risked their capitals and lost anyway.
If things continue as they have been, it will be fair to say that RSF has achieved POS supremacy over BoB. That is not good news for BoB. For the BoB pets, it is an opportunity to reconsider the terms of their residency.
While I consider the battle of 9-9 to be one of major importance and with far-reaching implications, I will concede that a focus on 9-9 is "micro", and it would be beneficial also to look at the "macro". This is where the first question comes in, "time is on whose side?"
A few months ago, I observed a debate between a Goon and a BoB on this very point. As you might expect, the Goon's argument was that time was on RSF's side because of Goonfleet's rapidly increasing number of capital and advanced ship pilots. The BoB, predictably, believed that time was on BoB's side. Why? Because while capital ships and battleships are useful, they are made worthless by the presence of super-capitals, and BoB was producing super-capitals at a much faster rate than Goonfleet.
Then super-capitals got nerfed to the point where they were no longer game-breaking.
BoB no longer has a means of finishing the sentence "time is on our side because..." BoB has increased in its numbers of pilots, but when the new "I want to win too!" pilots come at the expense of real fighters who have left, this is not a good thing. Nor is it a good thing when the new, less-than-best BoB pilots start fouling up the BoB kill/death ratio. At least, that's a bad thing when your alliance is so greatly invested in kill/death ratios.

BoB has at least to be granted credit for the creativity in its latest "time is on our side because..." reasoning. When BoB lost POS wars in Tenerifis and Omist, its pilots rationalized their failures because they were able to destroy a number of Goons, Russians and French. The BoB pilots started to inquire whether the RSF logistics could handle losing so many ships. In this, too, BoB was reminiscent of ASCN--it underestimated the industrial capacity of its opponent to comedic proportions. BoB pilots pointed out that Goon losses were no longer those of cheap T1 frigates. No, sir! Goons were actually beginning to fly good ships with T2 equipment on board!
Many times have people indicated the weariness of their enemy by showing how they no longer carry the expensive equipment that they had before. BoB is the first alliance ever to suggest its enemies are weakening because they fly better ships than before.
An even flimsier explanation for why time is on BoB's side is that eventually the Mercenary Coalition will feel like fighting in the east and will save BoB. This is similar to FIX's hope that BoB will eventually feel like fighting in Querious and save them. And MC will have to fight in Querious to save FIX, too. At the same time, MC is said to provide "free" contracts for BoB because BoB protects MC's outposts in MC space (i.e. BoB holds MC's stations hostage for billions of ISK a year). Suppose MC decides to go rogue? They would never do this (it sounds like too much fun and Seleene lacks a certain something), but suppose they did? Maybe MC would save BoB by attacking itself, while also attacking -AAA- and IAC in Querious and attacking RSF in the east. Who's the pet again? (Knee-jerk answer: Corelum.) But I digress.
So time is not on BoB's side. Is time on the side of the Goons? Short answer: Yes.
I could point out how much the Goons' fighting force has changed from a year ago when BoB was sniping Goon shuttles in Syndicate. I could point out that when the Goons trapped Shrike's titan and called in capitals to kill it, half the dreads were Goon. But this comparison is just the tip of the iceberg. Things are going to get much, much worse for BoB.
Goonfleet is a unique entity in Eve. Most alliances follow the "endgame" formula that BoB does, or they aspire to it. The "endgame" alliance seeks to convince everyone that they are a winner, and then suck up all the rich, experienced PvP'ers of the galaxy and dominate the rest. An "endgame" alliance then uses its PvP superiority to create a vast pool of secure space that its many carebears and pets collect from, providing taxes. At last, when everyone with skillpoints and ISK is under their control, the game can come to an end, dying a peaceful death. This is what BoB wants. Control of all 0.0, the collection of all resources, a steady-state death of Eve.
From the start, Goonfleet followed radically different principles. Rather than recruiting from the ranks of 20m+ skillpoints Eve pilots, Goons recruited people who had never even heard of Eve. Rather than barking at year-old n00bs who dared to enter low-sec, Goonfleet invited new pilots to come immediately to 0.0 space. And rather than share tips about how to mine trit or run L2 missions, Goonfleet implored them to join Eve for PvP.
The message from BoB and its establishment is that n00bs are irrelevant, worthy only perhaps to someday become pets. The message from the Goons is that a n00b tackler can affect the outcome of a war. The difference could not be more stark. Goonfleet wants new people to join and play the best Eve has to offer. BoB wants everyone else out of the game.

And so it was that Goonfleet generated masses of new players whose loyalty was proven by their willingness to endure endless flack from the establishment (and each other, but hey, they're Goons). They did all begin, and not necessarily that long ago by BoB's standards, as n00bs in T1 frigates. But unlike most n00bs in T1 frigates, they were tossed immediately into 0.0 space and combat. Goonfleet trained its n00bs to fight and created resources where they could learn how to survive. BoB would have answered their questions with the familiar "if you don't already know, you shouldn't be trying..."
But we should not mistake every Goon for a poverty-stricken kamikaze who goes from rifter to rifter without any idea how to perform outside the PvP world. Instant access to 0.0 space has given Goons the opportunity to accumulate wealth far more quickly than the average new player. Because killboards record ship types and weapons used, many of the Goons' enemies realize that Goons are no longer in T1 frigates. Less obvious is the fact that the wealth of Goonfleet pilots has also greatly increased. The Goons did not grow up fighting battles where they were guaranteed not to lose a ship. Just the opposite. As a result, the Goons have put themselves into a position where more and more are flying expensive ships and have the capacity to risk death.
Put aside all of the special faction ships, T2 BPOs, complexes, even the super-capitals. The most valuable resource in Eve is the PvP pilot (industrial players who are willing to supply their PvP brethren for a reasonable price aren't so bad, either). BoB, etc. were able to defeat larger alliances because the larger alliances actually had fewer PvP'ers. Even the giant ASCN could not hope to match the much "smaller" BoB in PvP numbers, let alone in ship quality. We can see many statistics on alliance size by the number of members, but it would be very enlightening if we could also see statistics on the number of PvP'ers.
Thus, while BoB's pets will cite statistics on the thousands of players arrayed against BoB at various time, it is fair to say that when BoB was "outnumbered", it wasn't really outnumbered. This made it much easier for BoB to gain POS supremacy in various timezones. Now we see that things have changed, and keeping the number of PvP'ers in mind, we can see why.
Just as an understanding of the Goon PvP emphasis should not lead one to underestimate Goon wealth, it should not lead one to underestimate the Goon logistics machine. Most players find POS warfare boring. But people say the same thing about large fleet battles, or indeed about mining, killing rats, etc. It is clear that one thing the Goons do enjoy, however, is slapping around BoB pilots, especially their leaders. Goon logistics may have the most efficient manner of griefing BoB that there is: every Goon tower in a BoB system is a punch in BoB's stomach and a middle finger to the Dianabolic crew. The BoB logistics team, losing as they are, have had considerably less entertainment. Besides, planting a POS doesn't improve one's kill/death ratio.

I would be remiss if I described the ongoing conflict in terms simply of BoB versus Goons. There are many other parties involved. The Goons have many allies, and BoB has many pets. Is it bias that causes me to frame the parties in those terms? It is easy to name Goon allies. Try to name a BoB ally that is not a BoB pet. That is another key difference in the sides of this conflict. When Goons win a fight, we can see the power and prominence of the Goons' allies increasing and gaining more breathing room from BoB. When BoB wins a fight, its "helpers" are cemented deeper into "pet" status. Just ask the formerly proud Firmus Ixion. Each time the Goons and their allies win, we can see the Eve galaxy opening up, creating new possibilities for new entities. Each time BoB and its pets win, we see the opposite, with Eve slouching toward a boring, tedious death. And so the Goons fight for freedom of all, and the BoB pets fight for their own slavery--until they receive an invitation to join Invincible BoB, at which point they ditch their corps.
Fortunately for all parties involved, BoB is not winning today. Nor will it win in the future. BoB has overreached and made enemies that it cannot unmake. The Goons, Russians, French and the rest of their allies have no desire to make peace and become pets. BoB cannot simply admit failure in the east and retreat safely back to NOL; they will find that others claim NOL as their own. There is no exit strategy for the Band of Brothers, only exits for the BoB pilots who choose to break away and find a better game in other areas of Eve. And as for the pets, while it is an ironclad truth in Eve that BoB is always overestimated and its pets always underestimated, they are pets for a reason. They cannot survive without BoB, and if they can, they will turn away from BoB for their own benefit. They could choose to die with BoB. After all, misery loves company. But it is an unrequited love.
And so the "phony war" ends and the real one begins. Previously this year, the Coalition powers such as RSF and -AAA- had fought BoB in fleets, raids and attacked capital arrays, but did not make attempts to conquer BoB systems. Of the great powers, only D2 made a serious invasion of BoB. BoB was unable to turn them away, despite turkeyshoots, offline titan killing, and the help of thousands of local pets. In complete humiliation, BoB had to rely on MC and hordes of northern powers to beat D2 for them. D2, the carebear alliance that DB Preacher called worthless. That was BoB's biggest challenge until that time, and they had to be bailed out.
Now, for the first time, BoB faces a real enemy conquering its systems and stations. BoB, in spite of all its advantages of experience, wealth, propaganda history and "extra help", and surrounded as it is with pet protectors, is losing. Like so many before it, BoB will put its hope on changes in game mechanics. They will be disappointed. Its uber-titans were as game-breaking as anything can be, and even they did not give BoB victory.
As its territory wanes and killboard worship heightens, BoB is becoming increasingly watered-down with flimsy hangers-on and fair-weather turncoats who have no loyalty except to guaranteed wins. On the opposing side, BoB faces an enemy that has seen through defeats and chosen not to give up. BoB's enemy has exponentially grown in the past year and expands its power with no end in sight. And now they have taken the war to the POSes.
I say with full confidence that as long as the Coalition is willing to bring the fight to the enemy and contest sovereignty at every step, BoB will lose this war and BoB will be destroyed.
How long, you ask? I believe Mr. Churchill said it best.
If we manage it well, it will only take half as long as if we manage it badly.

That is pretty insightful, yes. The whole 'be the best, join BoB' thing is wavering, I think nowadays people look to join the likes of MC, AAA or Outbreak for their 'elite pvper' status. Joining BoB isn't as attractive as it once was, because the POS war in the south is an immense meatgrinder and when you're not rolling through the enemy that kind of thing isn't fun.

260+?
Rest of this post is well written garbage tbh. The previous ones where far superior. Seems like you just didn't know when to stop, James, and where desperately reaching for a punchline where you could say "BoB is going to lose."
The amount of assumptions and clear bias is simply astounding, and while your previous posts had a modicum of actual truth for Yes-men to cling to, this one lacks even that, and only a desperate man would believe what is written in it. It almost seems as if you are so uncertain of your side's victory that you feel compelled to reach out to the EvE-masses and shout "We need more warm bodies! Help us out while there's still time!"
James, I wish you good luck in RL, and I am certain that you could find a job as political analyzer at some tabloid with strong connections to a political party. You know, one of those where you don't actually have to print the truth, but rather, the 'truth' that you want to have.

I hope you can do more of these, perhaps on BoB's lesser known pets? I've looked forward to reading these threads the last 2 weeks.
Though I think you give too much credit to MC, as they've failed twice vs the semi-carebare alliance of IAC+Friends, and are so far failing to help FIX hold 49-U either.

1) Go to your local community college and take a couple of writing classes. They are very good at getting people to write effectively and logically. A few runs at the MLA or APA format and you will know what I mean.
2) What you have written is supposition and conjecture. There is nothing substantial or indicative of real insight.
3) You have way, way too much time on your hands.

Originally by: Begall I whole page of BoB/BoB pets calling him biased, who would have thought it! (He is, but honestly, dismissing it out of hand because of it is silly.)
See thats the thing about politics. He is talking about something that effects variety of people on both fronts. You will have posts that totaly agree with every single statement since it fits the role they have in the "trilogy" some will disagree with it till the end.
If you look up in the dictionary what HYPOTHESIS is you'll see thats exactly what we have in here. There is no right or wrong, its a well thought idea by one person and its up to individual to agree or disagree.
Agreed, people will choose to believe or disbelieve what they like depending on their experiences or side in the conflict.
Posting "BIASED HA ROLLYEYESHERE" is pretty useless, especially given said poster has probably not even bothered to read the post.

Originally by: oniplE Can i get a summary? I wasted enough time on reading the first part of the propaganda trilogy..
Summary of the three threads (my comments in brackets):
-BoB only ever fought in wars it could not possibly lose (except now it does, the reason being, according to James, "Oops"). -The aura of invincibility of BoB was shattered at 9-9, and thus BoB's enemies are no longer fearful of it (So when were RAGoon ever fearful of BoB?). -BoB recruited too many "win at all costs" players, who will not stick around if the going gets tough (because obviously, James 315 knows each and every new BoB pilot and their motivations for joining). -The BoB leadership is lying to the memberbase (I'd really like to know what James' source on this is... or could it possibly be just more conjecture, like everything else he said?). -Time is on RSF's side, as more and more Goons get in caps while the BoB supercap advantage has been nerfed to oblivion (perhaps the sole valid point in all the crap, but then again, having a cap ship and knowing how to use it is two different things... 9-9 cap battle, anyone? Plus, while I agree that the fact that goons now fly T2 is not a sign of weakness, it hasn't improved their tactical success in any reasonable measure, so again, having something and knowing how to actually use it are two different things). -BoB and pets are evil, Goons and co are the Saviours of the Galaxy (there are no good or bad guys in this war; anyone who believes differently is, imho, an idiot). -At the first opportunity, the "pets" will turn on their masters (looking past the childish namecalling on James' part, this would have had happened a long time ago, if it ever was going to happen. In all honesty, Intrepid Crossing DID turn on BoB... but no one else did... isn't that something?).
There you go: 10+ pages of bullsh*t summarised into one.

I think James problem here is that his original thesis was to be on "Why BoB is losing" rather than "Why BoB is going to lose".
It's of course fair to look to the future in it, but in order to remain objective and unbias - or at least appear that way, conclusions should not be drawn.
It's entirely accurate, and I think BoB would agree, to say that BoB aren't winning this war in the manner they may have hoped. But I don't know if it's really possible to say that they are in the process of losing it. That would imply that they will lose, and that is far from clear at this moment. Quite possible, and easy to write the rest of the "book" so to speak and have BoB lose, and have it look convincing. However, I dare say it's possible to write it and have BoB win, and still look convincing... let's see.
The GBC provide the support MC need not just to interdict IAC & co in Querious, but push ahead into IAC and AAA territory. As times get hard for IAC, their membership dwindles, corps leave over time, players leave corps and IAC begins to crumble. Leadership questions are answered, satisfaction isn't given from that.
Goons/RA/TCF lose a few capital engagements, some of their dreadnought pilots are without dreads, others more reluctant to engage/stay on longer/log on. BoB gather momentum and push them back, and back and back.
Eventually the GBC take over AAA and IAC space, while BoB conquer all former LV and RA space.
Once freed up from this they head north, under the sheer weight of numbers the north falls again, this time completely. This leaves the new regions as the last standing anti-BoB faction, they do not stand for long, they become fractured and do not fully commit.
I am not for one second saying that is what is going to happen. But at this point, nobody knows. If we knew what would happen, then why bother? :P

Goonfleet is a unique entity in Eve. Most alliances follow the "endgame" formula that BoB does, or they aspire to it. The "endgame" alliance seeks to convince everyone that they are a winner, and then suck up all the rich, experienced PvP'ers of the galaxy and dominate the rest. An "endgame" alliance then uses its PvP superiority to create a vast pool of secure space that its many carebears and pets collect from, providing taxes. At last, when everyone with skillpoints and ISK is under their control, the game can come to an end, dying a peaceful death. This is what BoB wants. Control of all 0.0, the collection of all resources, a steady-state death of Eve.
Hi, could any BOB members (especially in light of molles telephone interview when he made the claim of "winning" total 0.0 control as the objective) dispute the above please.
I am interested in knowing why the above is incorrect, and also how achieving the above would impact on EVE gameplay quality.

Wait, are you referring to Lallante hiring a certain individual to hack the goonfleet forums, setting off a rather unfortunate chain of events? Because I'm pretty sure he flies with BoB now, you may want to have a word with them about that, since they certainly are still smacking in here.

There is no such threat coalition side, as the coalition is composed of many medium sized power, who band together only to counter BOB.
An interesting eve universe is not an eve were a major power control all 0.0. It is an eve universe where many medium size power battle each over. It is an eve universe where you can built an alliance from scratch, like TCF one year ago and hope to gain a place in the cold immensity of 0.0 regions. It is not a place where you must ask BOB for doing anything in 0.0, or be crushed by overhelming forces.
That's why BOB is not a common alliance. That's why BOB is dangerous. That's why bob shall be fighted by all people who love eve in this galaxy.

Mon cher ami, vous Otes nanf si vous croyez que BoB peut vraiment contr(ller la totalitT de l'espace 0.0. Ils pourraient la conquTrir, certe, mais la tenir? Jamais, simplement parce qu'il faudrait que BoB deviennent absolument GIGANTESQUE ou que le GBC le deviennent, et il n'y a tout simplement pas assez de personnes dans Eve pour remplir ces r(les, et encore moins qui seraient prOt a joindre BoB ou le GBC. Cela est sans compter que si BoB rTussissait a conquTrir et tenir la totalitT du 0.0, CCP pourrait simplement crTer de nouvelles rTgions ad vitam aeternam, jusqu'a ce que BoB ne puisse rTussir a mettre le grappin dessus.

Good read!
Here's what I replied to Stelbeck (in English this time):
"My dear friend, you are naive if you believe that BoB can control the entirety of 0.0 space. They may conquer it, bu hold it? Never, simply because BoB or the GBC would need to become GIGANTIC, and there is simply not enough people in Eve to fill that role, and even less willing to join BoB/the GBC. This is not taking into account the fact that if BoB successfully managed to take and hold all of 0.0, CCP could simply create more regions until BoB couldn't put their paws on all of them."
Edit: some parts were still in French

Quite a few ex-Xelas still defend BoB on the forums, even though they are now "free"... how about that? Could it possibly be because the BoB position has some value?

Yes, sitting in a bubble in a stabbed up smartbombing megathron certainly qualifies him for knowing everything about BoB and their tactics. Oh my God, we have been wrong all along.

The point was that James is actively killing BoB rather than fighting exclusively on the forum, but thanks for contributing.

Excellent write up, I enjoyed the trilogy. It was funny I had to stop reading this one about half way through to try and remeber what movie and voice I was hearing when I was reading this. It finally dawned on me that your text sounds similiar to how the old Oxford Scholar in The Da Vinci Code talks. You should get a job for a paper lol, you got some talent in writing. Was fun to read hopefully things do go as you predict.

speaking regarding the entire *trilogy*:
clearly fairly heavily biased, but there are some very interesting points raised that i have yet to see countered with anything more than cries of 'specualtion' and 'bull**** merchant'.
It being very well written also adds weight to the 'authoritative' tone you no-doubt wanted it to be recieved in, but i suppose i can't really hold that one against you

Wait, what? Are you saying this guy, James 315, has been fighting almost exclusively with supercapitals, thus making him qualified to read the minds of BoB pilots, or are you saying BoB have been fighting almost exclusively with supercapitals AGAINST James 315, thus granting him that clairvoyant power? In either case I'd like to know what you are smoking, and if you would be willing to pass some on to me.

Yes, because there's nothing in between a smartbombing, stabbed megathron and supercaps. Also, FIX is well known for its supercap fleet. 10 Titans and 50 Moms, at least.

Originally by: deadtear Hey guys lets all swarm the topic and call it bull****, that way nobody will read the thread and we can sit and circlejerk about how good it is to be in bob or suck bob***** all day.
This is significantly different from a bunch of GOONs (and their alts) bumping these threads with quote trees, "furthermore"'s, and whatnot, so they're at the top of CAOD far longer than would be justified by any actual discussion?
I've read all three of these, top-to-bottom, and I'd put James at about 25% accuracy. But he doesn't care; as he's said, wars are won by morale, and a casual BoB or BoB-allied pilot reading this and not knowing what's going on in the command channels could very easily have a change of heart. So, even if it were 100% lies, he's accomplished his goal if even one person reads it that way.
Originally by: James 315 And so the Goons fight for freedom of all, the BoB pets fight for their own slavery.
Freedom of what? Freedom to post tired memes that SA stole from 4chan, *** jokes, and goatse? And let's not forget freedom to insult a guy who died IRL? I'll pass, thanks.
Any attempt to portray GOONies as the "moral" ones in this game is laughable at best, and more than likely downright eristic.

Sure, because freedom from ethics, decency and morals is what we would all like to experience more of in Eve. Right?
Dude, you're on BoB's side! That's just too much irony.
Does my ticker say Firmus Ixion? Yep, it does. Would you like to hold me too account for how every one of my allies choose to play Eve... cus that makes sense ofc...
The quoted comment I made above is in reply to the apparent 'good guy' attributes that James attempts to bestow on Goons. It's very sad when a piece of propaganda can't even lean a little bit upon the truth. I don't make explanations for my allies, nor do I try to convince people that they have attributes that aren't obviously apparent.
All 3 of the OP's pieces are bloated, weak examples of propaganda. They fall flat, and only the most gullible of readers they are directed towards would take his arguments into true account. Honestly, it's more an opportunity for a forum circle jerk than any sort of discussion. I'd give a fair bit to actually see a piece on here worth arguing or debating... this stuff is tripe.

Yes. Generally, what I say is valid for both parties, even if I don't go out pointing at my allies directly.
And I didn't meant to "scool you" or anything... sorry if it seemed that way.

Yes of course, he doesn't agree with you so he must be sucking up to BoB. Is it the same way when it comes to goons? Do you guys all want into RA, so you keep sucking up to them? Do the armchair-generals all want into goonswarm so they keep sucking up to you? Is anyone agreeing with anyone else ever just a sign that they want to join their corp? Perhaps it's time you thought a bit about this for a while, but I guess it's just smack, so you don't really care.
On the other hand, goon smack has been degrading lately. I think the goon ranks have swelled so much that they have been watered down, prompting a severe reduction in smack-ability.

As said, I don't hold my allies to account, I hold FIX to account. When FIX starts metagaming, log on traps, and various other 'tactics' I dislike, then you won't see me in FIX at that point. Already pointed out why I said what I did above.

So what you're saying is you can ironically smack Goons for their lack of "ethics, decency and morals" but no one is allowed to put that into context with the ingame reality in which you are allied to, well, BoB. You know, morals and everything. Just don't do that, really.

So what you did was exactly the same you critizise about the OP. Strange, seeing how much you look down at his "piece of propaganda" here.

Interesting that you are "arguing or debating" in a thread you don't deem worthy of your attention, isn't it? And i wont count the FIX posting count in this "bloated, weak example of propaganda" because obviously you wouldn't care about it as only the most gullible of readers here would give a rats ass anyway, right?

It's hasn't just been a slow day in the forums, nor a slow month. When there is nothing good to post in... perhaps even a thread like this one will serve for a while?
When Goons get held up as a bastion of all the good things in Eve, it seriously needs a heavy smack. Ironic that I would do such a thing? Not really, I'm up for a good forum war on occasion, I just haven't seen one for a long time. I'm not saying that months ago this forum was full of good posts, but you could usually find a couple worth your time.
I mean come on... the OP spends 2 posts in his second piece talking about his relationship with his girlfriend ffs, and he still doesn't manage to put across a straightforward thought after it. It's almost friggin painful. When I said this was a circle jerk, I wasn't kidding. Allies come in here 'Good post man, insightful and lots of truth!'... nuff said tbh.

I rate it a 1/10. Mostly because it is lacking facts and is strongly biased. Also, the letters BOB can easily be replaced with pretty much any alliance in this game.
Also, the OPs fundamental lack of knowledge about BoB.

Ex 1: Me: *Says something* Someone from the other side: lawl pet
Ex 2: Me: *Says something else* Someone from the other side: STFU SLAVE!

Bud, it doesn't bother me that any thread gets attention. If I bemoan anything, it's threads that lack quality that get attention. I rarely post in BoB threads, because even if it is a good original post, the following spam and crap that gets thrown on there make it senseless to actually try to participate. I don't dislike James.. I just ran out of patience waiting for a good post, and ended up giving James the shaft when I got here.

You're in luck. Once we're not fighting for our survival we'll be completely overcome with drama inside of a month and by three months you'll be looking at goonfleet with 70 members and everyone else in splinter corps, none of which are larger than 20 men

The tl;dr, low-fat, girlfriend-free, bias- (can't achieve -- with my current alliance tags) executive summary of these last three threads works out as something like this:
Observation
For a long time BoB have had, in the eyes of most of the playerbase, a public image that's probably summed up by "BoB don't lose fights". Regardless of the accuracy or otherwise of that statement, that's what most people who had an opinion at all about BoB believed - particularly those not directly involved in 0.0 politics.
Immediately prior to the ASCN war, this was a background issue for most people, because BoB were not right out in the limelight and most people were happy to think about other things. You can judge this sort of thing fairly well by just counting the number of variations on "What happens when BoB win Eve" pop up on the forums every week.
When BoB started demolishing ASCN, they pushed themselves back into the public eye, everyone remembered that hey, BoB don't lose fights, and the number of BoB-victory-related threads started to rapidly increase. People started to seriously worry what would happen when BoB "won", because nobody thought that they could lose. The eventual destruction of ASCN fuelled this, as did the subsequent collapse of the North (we're moving quickly here to save characters; homework is to write your own analysis of the effects of F-T on the general trend). With D2 and ASCN out of the picture and Goonfleet declaring that they were pulling back to wherever, people were wondering if anyone could stand up to BoB, or whether the whole of 0.0 would effectively be controlled from Delve - nobody seemed to be able to even slow them down noticably, the idea that "BoB don't lose fights" was stronger than ever and they seemed to be able to do no wrong.
Then BoB ran into a brick wall in 9-9. The question of why this happened is one I'm not going to bother to try and answer, both for brevity's sake and because I know that I don't know. The fact remains though, as anyone watching the Influence map can see for themselves, that BoB have been unable to make any progress for some time now. There's a lot of information and misinformation floating around on this point, and any claim has an instant counter-claim, but the fact remains that the BoB warmachine has stalled. BoB fail to evict Goons. BoB fail to win a sovereignty battle. BoB lose fights.
That's the significant event here. Go back over the forums for the last few weeks and count how many people have posted threads relating to "what will happen when BoB win". Regardless of the facts on the ground, the perception has changed. BoB are no longer seen, by most people, as an unstoppable force, because they've just been very visibly and publicly stopped.
This doesn't mean that BoB are going to lose, or even that they're not winning on the ground, or anything like that at all. It has no direct effect on the material condition of the war itself. But that doesn't change the fact that the perception that BoB is unbeatable has taken a blow; how long people remember what's happening here is an open question, but right here and now BoB look vulnerable. And that's something that hasn't been true for a long, long time. |

I wish I had written this trilogy (under an assumed name, ofc).
Remember, propoganda is sometimes more effective if you say what people want to believe to be true, rather than what is actually true.
So, in that vein, I fully endore the accuracy of these reports, and I am sure that they will not lead to any underestimations or surprises about the BoB war effort.
(Oh, and imho, part 3 is the weakest of them all, apart from the bit in part 2 about the op's girlfriend .. for a moment I thought it was going to be revealed that she is a kickboxing supermodel, giving away the op's BoB affiliation.)

Analysis
This bit makes no claim to be unbiased, although it attempts it. It should also, hopefully, be shorter.
BoB have I think spent a not-inconsiderable amount of effort creating and reinforcing their image of invulnerability. It's been extremely well-crafted, they've been very careful to ensure that everything they do at least fails to undermine it and where possible reinforces it. It's served them very well and delivered them a lot of valuable victories. That's not to take away from the fact that they're extremely skilled and experienced players, but the fact that everyone treats BoB differently gives them a comfortable buffer zone in case of any miscalculations.
They've also managed to grow in a very efficient manner as a result of this aura, being able to effectively cherrypick the best PvPers around, swelling their ranks without watering down their skillbase. However, to get a broad idea of what type of recruits they've been getting, you have to ask "why would someone want to join BoB?", not as a derisive question but as an honest and open one. Back in the beginning, from what I gather, joining BoB was something like joining Outbreak today - you're signing up with a small, highly-skilled force who are willing to take anyone on and can deliver challenging fights 24/7 - and as a result, the core of BoB does seem to be made up of people who relish a fight and genuinely just want to keep on picking on the strongest enemy around.
However, look at BoB today - or rather, BoB six months ago. They're the de facto big dog of 0.0, they don't lose fights, they have loads of shiny toys to play with and they'll keep you in killmails. What they haven't offered for quite some time is the old BoB experience (what's now probably the Outbreak experience) - non-stop combat with real challenge. People don't expect BoB to lose fights, so most people join BoB expecting to win.
This has worked very nicely for them as long as they keep that winning streak - they maintain their stranglehold on the majority of the top PvPers and keep on winning. However, if they start losing, all those people who joined BoB on the basis that "BoB don't lose fights" are going to wonder what the hell is going on. They're not getting what they signed up for, and, looking to a hypothetical future where BoB keeps losing, the more that they feel they're losing, the more will leave. If BoB are pushed back to Delve or wherever, the core BoB membership will be loving it - it's a return to old times, fighting the big man, on the back foot, with real challenge. However, the bulk of the membership will, I suspect up sticks and move elsewhere, possibly to a gentrified Outbreak, possibly to pastures new, who knows. I see no reason to doubt the claims of BoB leadership that they're happy to be beaten, but I don't buy the suggestion that that automatically extends to their entire membership. If RSF keeps pushing them back, I think they will start to bleed players. What effect that will have on them as an alliance I don't know, but if it happens, it'll be interesting to find out. |

Wierd thing is, about 10 minutes or so after I posted the log here, I got convoed by someone called 'Hellooo', who then proceeded to invite a bunch of people, including Crucifier and Dark Shikari from my own alliance. She then tried to scare me by saying "We are all Crucifier's friends, you smack him, you smack us all", but the rest of the guys in the convo didn't seem to know what the hell was going on. I was muted by Hellooo and then I left the convo. Wierd.

There is a thing you see alot in pop-science. You tell four or five truths and then one half baked conjecture and fifty percent of the population thinks you are dead on. In this case, the OP came up with a few verifiable observations and then meanders about what it all means, without any actual evidence. It sort of a "Killing Turkey's causes winter" situation.

Quote: Wierd thing is, about 10 minutes or so after I posted the log here, I got convoed by someone called 'Hellooo', who then proceeded to invite a bunch of people, including Crucifier and Dark Shikari from my own alliance. She then tried to scare me by saying "We are all Crucifier's friends, you smack him, you smack us all", but the rest of the guys in the convo didn't seem to know what the hell was going on. I was muted by Hellooo and then I left the convo. Wierd.
Seemed like some sort of "Old Boy's Guard" thing at first, but then it looked like a weak attempt by a nobody to incite more flaming.

It's ok. I'll gag myself. Don't want my alliance to catch any flak for my behaviour. It's just that having to listen to enless amounts of stupid smack and lies makes me want to comment, and generally not in a nice way.

Tip for BoB: Use your gazzillion isk from hacked bpos to buy 10 cap alts per player. If you do this you will have the ultimate pwn cap fleet!

Originally by: Ki An Well, I'd like to apologize for my behaviour in this thread. I feel the OP is wrong, but that's just his opinion. The reason for this apology is a convo I had with a respected member of -A- alliance, who gracefully convo'ed me in game to state that I perhaps was a bit harsh in some of my replies.
Here's the log of the chat with my benefactor in -A-.

Butterbrain defending BoB et al on this forum is truly ironic, given his past antics here. And the stench of fear and panic coming from the Greater Pet Community is both revolting and invigorating at the same time. I haven't seen a Combined Forum Storm Op from them of this size since Pendulum 1.0 (though, the Goon Threadnaught far outclasses any spamstorm a blobbit could ever do).
I salute the OP for making pets and masters alike come out here, jump up and down, and scream "NONONONONONONONO YOU LIELIELIELIELIELIELIE" with his Lord of the BoBs Trilogy. May the epilogue/postmortem, entitled "Where BoB went wrong", come swiftly.

i dunno if bob will loose in the end but there are signs that things dont go as planned ATM
not beeing able to make any progress in the south ATM
the north was killed by MC, pets, backstabbers and 2 huge hits to D2 the smartbombed titan and the 3? corps leaving with another titan not many BOB invoved
FIX needed help.. no BOB comming again they sent MC
the recent corp theft .. some will say the smart ones caching in wh ever thought before that such a high up member will ever betra his "friends"
all this and some more has bob taintet as just another alliance not the pvp gods they were before
its interresting what the future will bring personally i think EVE is a better place without goons and bob

BoB is not weakening, it's strongest as it is ever was, but at this time. It's against a determined, aggressive and Brutal Enemy that ramming themselves at BoB in both a suicidal and a tactical manner. Many people dream that BoB will collapse, but in reality it's not. BoB Controls 6 Regions, and partially 1. You Really think some alliance that controls that many people, will just fall like that * .
It's not going to happen, as said again and again. They are Brothers in and out. The are friends in an out, the god dam best fighting force in Eve. And You really think that any of you can defeat them by hopes or dreams. Then your sadly mistaken by long shot.
The only way BoB will be killed, is not through brute force, stealing, or giving them the fight of there lives. Is break there bond with each other, make them an impossible fighting force. Though, if BoB leadership who I am, well, this is going get interesting.

Man, they've recruited guy who was "scouting" in frigs at safespots, who was bringing 4-5 WCSs on a fleet sniper, and who was all-around useless. He's not doing any better now that he's in BoB either. BoB must be desperate, when they need such "brothers"  |

BoB+allies had 66- locked down with 2 titans, large bubbles on every gate. RSF broke in, then attacked a fully armed POS to knock down the cynojammer. By the end of the night BoB+allies had lost just as many BS and far more t2 ships than RSF had, despite holding positional advantage and successfully detonating a DD.

I like the way you analyzed the end game of goons vs that of BoB. Everyone in the GBC say that the goal of the Goons is to ruin the game for everyone. Thanks for setting the record straight, because in 4+ years of EvE play I was always concvinced that this is what Evolution was up to, not Goons. -------------------

YEAH I MEAN JUST LOOK AT THE SOUTHERN MAP SEE ALL THAT RED YEAH GOONSWARM WILL EASILY SWALLOW THAT UP AFTER THEY KICK BOB BACK TO DELVE SINGLEHANDEDLY
All humor aside, that actually IS SirMolle's aspirations. Literally.
And the only way that goons intend to be freedom fighters is to free their enemies from those damned annoyingly cramped ships and pods.
James is wrong yes but so is the idea that goons are here to ruin eve. The only way that they are ruining eve is that they and their powerful allies are ruining bob's plan to conquer eve. EVE IS RUINED!

Edited by: Sionide on 30/07/2007 21:11:26 James315 makes some interesting points on the subject of BoB vs Goons. Honestly, the whole situation with BoB seems to be relevant if ones puts in a feudal system analogy.
BoB is the King and the pets are his vassels. BoB is strong on his own, but with his vassels at his command he owns the land. The King gains power and more vassels by conquering other lands and of course by winning. Like at the time of the Roman or Persian expansion many towns just joined the winning side rather than be totally conquered (or in the Assyrians case, conquered and then killed and posted on spikes outside the city walls). So yes, when the "big, bad, invincible" BoB comes knocking on your region's door you gladly say "yes sir, I will be under you and pay tribute/taxes to you."
However, the King's power continues only when:
A) he continues to be victorious B) has strength and leadership and loyality of his vassels. C) uses religion to state he should be the boss (i.e. divine right, which does not apply here)
Now as in Part II, if many of the Bob's pets joined to be on the "winning" side and if Bob starts to lose badly, I can see pets revolting and refusing to stop paying taxes to Bob or to state that they are not Bob pets anymore. Again, we can relate to true history in many examples but perhaps relate best to the towns in the Palestine region during the Egyptian and Hittite expansions where towns would declare and revolt depending on who the greater power was at that moment.
Thus, Bob would lose if A becomes false, since then B would eventually become false. It's an implosion really...and something that happens often to vastly expanding empires (like the Roman empire...during their last moments they were desparately trying to just keep their boarders where they were).
As for the current situation, I am not an Eve-vetern, but looking at the situation politically Bob really can't afford to lose this war. If they pull back, their "invinciblity" shell will be broken, and perhaps other alliances will start taking pot shots at them, as well as having pets revolt or join RSF, etc.
I am not going to go as far as James315 to say that Bob's strength is an illusion, since currently it is very real; but all great empires fall...it's just a matter of time. Nonetheless, it's fun to be a witness to it all.

I don't claim to know much about 0.0 warfare, but it seems to me that your analysis is somewhat flawed. I do enough reading in COAD to know that both parties not only are very persistent, but that they enjoy this war. All those BoB v Goon troll wars speak to that. They don't sound like people that are demoralized, both sides are infact fired up. Bob likes to kill Goons, Goons feel a great sense of accomplishment actually regaining lost space. So you can see how both sides can easily keep their optimism and morale, because they're each doing something that brings them entertainment. And how can you claim BoB is losing when you haven't stated what losing means? Do you mean losing as some absolute meter? Well, in that instance I don't think BoB is losing as their just fighting over ex-goon space. Now I would agree that there is a bit of a momentum shift, but will this shift be enough to move this absolute meter to a state where BoB is in fact losing? And is this momentum switch because of Goon superiority, or just because Bob is overstretched?
All these are concerns which haven't really been addressed, and are fundamental to any arguement that contains the bold statement that BoB is losing the war.
And if these posts are missing these fundamental underly arguements, I don't see how it can be viewed as anything more than just propaganda, made to demoralize people that are just having fun playing a game.
And this is coming from someone that doesn't like Bob fundamentally cause they seem sort of elitist. And I surely don't want them to achieve their goal of taking 0.0 space.
I think you're counting chickens before their hatched...there's a great number of outcomes that can occur.
Personally I don't think it would be a great blow for BoB to concede that MC is needed in the front lines in the East. RSF is easily one of the greatest fighting forces Eve has ever seen in 0.0. Why would BoB not use all the resources and employ MC. Even if they could do it themselves at a snail's pace, it would be more efficient to mobilize MC to the East.
It's no worse than Goons getting bailed out by their allies, namely RA.

BoB's secret weapon was intimidation, they talk big, belittle their opponent, and use propoganda to cause the weaker minds of their opponents to give up, crippling the enemy. Thats what James pointed out with ASCN. People like James are anything but intimidated by BoB. James HUNTS BoB. Thats why James kicks BoB's ass, hard. The southern coalition is not intimidated either, and that is why they can win, they didn't sell off their hope before they ever really lost.
Thats why its important to keep up the COAD war as much as it is the in-game war. Let BoB know that their pilots playing online spaceship games aren't divinely blessed with superhuman gamer abilities, that their enemies are just as good if not better, that their enemies have the industrial backbone to keep bringing it, and bringing it, and bringing it, and that they are going to fight them, fully aware that they are fighting BoB, not back down, not run away, not be intimidated, that their "End-Game" is fighting BoB, not peacefully mining roids, but defeating BoB.
So in a way its the beginning of a new eve where PvPers are through with kneeling before SirMolle.
And really I am confused why all of BoB's pets are still defending BoB, BoB doesn't defend you, they just mooch off of you. How many billions of isk have the pets paid BoB? And they just waste it on overpriced modules that they lose in common fleet battles. BoB pets could defend themselves much better, and much cheaper, than if they were paying BoB. Open your damn eyes. You're paying BoB so that BoB doesn't destroy you. But they can't even defend "their space" that you're renting.
And as for MC, I know that they are just part of BoB, fking roleplayers, but god only knows why they defend BoB for free when they'd have many more contract opportunities if they'd just accept purchase from any alliance that could afford them, rather than just who BoB says they can. Oh but BoB would take your stations. Fking cowards.
Because posting on the forums is serious business. |

Mr ForumPosterAlt, I'm going to answer some of your questions. You may not believe, and probably will not believe, what I will tell you, but you have my word that I am being truthful.
Originally by: ForumPosterAlt

That is untrue. BoB is always willing to give a hand when they can. No only that, but they will assist on important ops, such as outpost deployments.
Originally by: ForumPosterAlt they just mooch off of you. How many billions of isk have the pets paid BoB?
Not all members of the GBC pay rent. And even then, 6B a month (the standard rate, I believe, though I am uncertain of this) is a joke, on an alliance level.
Originally by: ForumPosterAlt And they just waste it on overpriced modules that they lose in common fleet battles.
More likely, the rent is used to fuel the hundreds of POSes BoB uses.
Originally by: ForumPosterAlt BoB pets could defend themselves much better, and much cheaper, than if they were paying BoB.
That is also untrue. 6B a month is nothing to get the backing of one of the best and most powerful alliances in game.
Originally by: ForumPosterAlt Open your damn eyes. You're paying BoB so that BoB doesn't destroy you. But they can't even defend "their space" that you're renting.
As explained above, that is not what rent buys you. Any member of the GBC could simply pack up and head to the Drone regions to be "free", or, barring that, could've pulled an Intrepid Crossing, and switched sides at the beginning of the war.

I was wondering how long it would take before someone brought that up.
In the case of Xelas, I believe that it was fair compensation for the time that alliance got to enjoy one of the best regions for free. An outpost is what? 30B? That's 5 months' rent, and Xelas was in Fountain for longer than that, IIRC.
As for GONAD, I am not familiar with what happened. All I know is that they were there one day, and pretty much gone the next. Care to enlighten me?

It's just amusing how fanatically you all defend people who will set you red as soon as you fail to make rent or they become dissatisfied with the number of hostiles in your space.

The really interesting thing about the argument the OP has made, and that of most people who have claimed "game over for coalition/goons/RA/etc" in the past is the neglect of the issue of geography. Everyone seems to assume that it doesn't play a part.
I always saw the war as falling inevitably into a stalemate. There's some contestable areas, however there's never been any evidence that either side (either, since I never considered the north a threat) has the reach to convincingly fight so far from home. BoB once had a chance, but was distracted by the north in fountain temporarily and the opportunity was lost. Now I don't see anyone with the ability or desire to reach.
Only the breaking down of one side or the other could resolve this. Unless GS have a 100bil in donors still up their sleeve they will never be able to fund an offensive pos war. In a best case situation the new alliances brought in take feyth but it would stop there. RA have not at all shown territorial interest, and are not about to start.
If you really only look at facts, very little of note has happened. GS are still in the process of retaking lost space after bob's offensive. This hardly constitutes a severe loss. Were I bob, I would continue the pos war on GS. Keep the pressure on and keep a clamp on GS's financial growth, resisting the desire to 'pull back and rebuild'. BoB will hurt from it but I think that will win them the stalemate. It's a pricewar. I've not seen any show of force to convincingly take this war further. There's many many stations to go and absolutely no evidence of desire or ability to move. ----------------- Sig mod-whacked

That which you call "fanatism" stems from having had nothing but good experiences working alongside BoB. All we ever get from the other side is endless smack... why should we switch sides again?

1) When you say "griefed back to empire", what do you refer to? Just roaming gank squads or something else?
2) From all accounts, Xelas wasn't exactly fairing too well when BoB pulled that plug, so to speak. So I'm not personnaly surprised that they chose to leave instead of stay.

Edited by: ForumPosterAlt on 31/07/2007 03:51:03 Funny thing is that Xelas could have had fountain if they just stayed. But they have weak minds and fell for propaganda, BoB doesn't have the capacity to defend fountain from an invasion atm. A serious PvP corp could literally just stroll in and reinforce every POS in the entire constellation.

But thanks for guessing about an area of space you didn't have an alt in, nor I'm guessing monitored during Xelas' lifetime in fountain.

Actually I just happened to get lucky with that one and just felt like pointing out that you're the worst spy in goonfleet, and that's counting mazzilu and vando as one person
You should probably take some writing lessons about how to use ellipses
being the master of deduction that you are, maybe you would know who I was if I typed more eloquently.. so no yougettextblobknonsense...maybe i'm the best spy hehe for how long I have held out?I better do something worthwhile right..long term plans....remember that mate and see you in space.

You probably are the best spy. As a highly qualified mmporg director I can sincerely say that the BoB intelligence network is somewhere between primitive and laughable. It's cute when you're proud of it.

Lets be honest. What you're really going to do is sit in your gangs with your steadily dwindling participation talking about how much you hate t1 frigs and lag whilst you ask molle when he's going to doomsday again. Or when he's going to post the killmails from his doomsday. Did molle use doomsday yet?
You're a one trick pony. And you're played out.

This post is funny... i mean everytime I read anything from you it just screams out "i am a goon alt".
But as for your post, ok we get it you hate bob and everybody hates bob and they all want bob to die and see it coming all that propiganda crap. But alot of the stuff you've meantioned in your post is, if bob is defeated, and goons become the new "bob" that everybody hates. What is going to happen to all these great pvp'ers that will come from bob.
Its all swings and round-abouts, I know bob cant last forever, i doubt any alliance could continue to evolve and stay ahead of ccp's changes forever, god knows bob have done a good job staying top thus far but even if they do get defeated. Can you imagine any of them joining goons? Most of the eve community already hate goonswarm the same if not more than bob it'll only be a matter of time before some other multi-coalition made up of alot of ex-bob members will eventually take goons out. _______________________________ Your signature image exceeds the maximum allowed filesize of 24000 bytes -Sahwoolo |

Same thing that always happens in that situation; Charismatic personalities go "screw this" and leave, taking as many people with them as they can into their splinter, which is maybe 20, who then go and make their little splinter corp and amount to near nothing.

There is a little confusion about the inspirational "Goons fight for freedom" thing. In keeping with the rest of the paragraph, I am talking about effects, not intent. By dismantling the BoB empire, Eve becomes a multipolar maelstrom of chaos, opening a lot more opportunities for people (especially new players) who want to do something other than serve as a slave for the BoB Old Boys' network.

While I am sure there are some nerds among the Eve community, I am not one of them. Would a nerd spend time talking about his girlfriend on an internet spaceship forum or engage in kickboxing (that most exotic and competitive of the athletic pursuits)? Doubtful. Occam's Razor says I am cool, very cool.
As for the music, it was chosen because only Sonic had sufficient pathos to get my point across. Moreover, it was from Sonic 3, which is an allegory for the current Eve crisis. (Once you realize Knuckles is Kugutsumen, everything else falls into place.)

Ermm...from my observations, yes, they would.
Anyways, nice set of posts. There is indeed a lack of in-depth counter arguments, but I don't really expect such from people playing an internet space ship game. Why formulate very nice and articulate arguments when you can watch pretty spaceships explode in pretty fireballs?
So, I find your arguments plausible and if the other side would care to present an articulate, carefully thought out scenario as you have, I would probably find it plausable also. I just don't believe it. There is not much in the way of evidence that what either side is saying is true. I will fight for my side and whatever happens will happen. I am sure that fun will be had either way. Here it is. Isn't it unique? |

I think the answer to that question is "Yes, most definitely."

Edited by: TheDevilsJury on 01/08/2007 11:29:15 Well this is probably the most well-informed of your rants so far, although in my opinion that's not saying much. Either you've gained some decent sources or you're a lot better at sifting through the bull**** in COAD than most people give you credit for. Its also somewhat more relavent; ranting about ASCN's defeat or BoB's recruitment tactics and communication with your girlfriend really isn't insightful about the current strategic situation.
I don't think the fundamentals of what you're saying in part 3 are wrong. Certainly, in Eve wars are won by getting the enemy players to give up. Running back to empire, jumping ship, or "failure cascade" as we call it. But this goes for all alliances, not just BoB, neither do I think there's a reason why BoB are more susceptible, even if you argue that they expect victory in all that they do. An alliance simply reaches a breaking point where they no longer have the isk (or ships), stations, or morale to continue fighting. Numbers themselves don't matter, as they are only depleted when the players give up. I wish I could predict when this point will be reached, but it will be a long war.

Just like to say an interesting read, well done for posting it all, It could with a few more facts and numbers thrown in stand up as an academic work. (Not masterpiece )
The trouble is the work is ultimately based on a whole host of assumptions logically drawn out accepted but none the less they are assumptions. There are a bunch of things that could happen both in game and in RL that could throw the whole series of articles wide open and inaccurate.
Still i take nothing away from the articles they were interesting.

30to40-1? I'll make a wild guess that this gibberish means that you were outnumbered 40 to 1? Boy you need to make a reality check ASAP, as you descended into your imaginary world too deep by now.

BOB still has ample time to cut a deal with all of their ennemies.
BOB won't be the same afterwards, they will actually be better. They will cut the fat and get rid of their CAOD generals and get back to pure pvp without conquering systems. They stop making promises they can't hold and start enjoying Eve again.
They will have honest camapigns with willing alliances without getting into the POS game.
See people, if you don't like POS games, if you don't like LAG, if you don't like SMACK, a better gameplay is possibe.
Press for change and stop participation until your leadership changes. You are responsible for turning Eve into a dreaded chore.

Interesting analysis...shame it doesn't look into the mirror and take into account sov changes, logistics and future planned game changes into account. Though this forum is not meant for the weak of mind...er, meant heart. Keep ing, you will win.

You see the problem is that most people are sheep, they act on the sole promise of WIN!WIN!WIN!, thats the case with many of BoB members, and i am saying this on a, i know so, basis. So in other words, most people are too lazy or dumb to think and question in their minds wtf are our "leaders" doing.... and act or question, or give an oportune opinion or give an alternative to this or that course of action.
Scr*w it, no one cares so let the blobbing continue and well, bob will boomheadshotdie, along with goons all in its proper time so sit back and enjoy the game. _______________________

Find me another alliance that held a system for 2.5 weeks with no dread fleet and out numbered 30to40-1 and when we did eventualy fall got paid 22bil for the systems outpost by the enemy so we would'nt come back for 3 months.
I don't know, my alliances just tend to win in the first place.
Realy then you did not just reciently take back the systems BOB pushed you out of???.

Oh gr8 you again lol yes gratz youve taken a system or 2 does that mean when bob pushed you back that they were winning or are you gonna spin it into a tactical withdrawal.
When you get to the point your covering a huge amount of conquered space you will stall and fall prey to the compact blob you create with your success.
Yes i said success if you check my posts ive never actualy claimed they were not just that the mechanics of eve will do to you exactly what it did to bob.

point out where any goon denied bob were winning when they were ****ting all over us using 5-10 people running shifts on their supercaps? They were winning, not by fleet battles though, but with supercaps and pos spam. Pity the patch nerfed both these tactics ain't it?
for the dumb people. Before rev 2 = bob winning. After rev 2 = us winning.

Oh and your trolls are awful in fact the worst and most juvinille ive ever seen but they are considerably better than your lemming alliance.
So is the newest BoB talking point "well you're only taking back lost systems so you're still losing" because that's like saying the Axis was winning until the Allies finally pushed them back across the Rhine, and that's a silly thing to imply.

Nope your winning bud il never claim your not if you are but if you consider that unlees you or bob can find a way to actualy remove players from eve enmasse then the "compact blob" will always be the result of a successful campaign and it will always beat an enemy that has to cover large areas.
That is not a slight against you bob or anybody else its just the way it is.

Edited by: DTee on 02/08/2007 13:54:16 T2 prices my good friend are not even close to what they used to be. If you produce inhouse, which probably BoB also do. Your on a pretty level plane.
The advantage still lies with BoB indeed. 100b in rent everymonth can't be bad for the alliance wallet, I'm guessing.I can't imagine goons/ra/tcf are making that much JUST for their alliance let alone themselves. If BoB started handing out equipment to its pilots it could supply them for a long long time.
The question of Morale is indeed a complicated one but let me remind you. You aren't Victorious of your own will, your are victorious when you break the enemies. BoBs will is not broken yet. Molle still sits on his pedestal plotting and planning,i wouldn't underestimate him.
I would check all your roles for rights to anchoring pos's and hanger access. I'm expecting this to get dirtier!

If BoB started handing out equipment to its pilots it could supply them for a long long time, WITHOUT any of the troops from the front line needing to RAT or LEAVE the front line. I expect it is quite the opposite for RSF, whow ill at some point loose momentum because of the rate they are loosing ships.

IAC and AAA have taken the perfect opportunity to harass Fix and divert MC BUT i doubt that MC were or are stupid enough to fall for something like that. The fact that its non capital help (no dreads). I'm expecting the Dreads are being saved for a combined op with BoB at a later date to kill lots of RSF caps or for the defense of "NOL". There are probably better targets in BoB space other then NOL.
Also BoB had alot of reserves for a war like this, which they expected against ASCN. I can hardly imagine what they have in reserves NOW.Afterall the ASCN war wasn't much of a fight. They've probably got more reserves since then.
DTee, this is not the BoB of last year. A lot bigger, but not nearly as good. I fought in the BoB-ASCN war, and the BoB of today is making mistakes I've never seen them make in the ASCN war.
Part of it is of course that Redswarm has a hard core of PvPers which is far stronger than ASCN ever had, but even then, I see silly mistakes that are not needed.
And about the issue of morale and isk. ASCN didn't lose because of isk, there were hundreds of billions left, there was just noone left willing to use the isk to fight. A singly guy can rat a months worth of fuel for a deathstar POS in 1 day, or considering nsurance, 3 or 4 BS worth. As long as morale is high, losses are irrelevant. And you can judge for yourself whether morale is high in the Redswarm/TCF/Southern Coalition...

I can understand what you mean about it not being the old BoB.Every player that joins BoB is cultured in to the habits of BoB as an organisation. Such as staying aligned, warping quickly following instructions.The new members ofcourse add to that and certain BoB corps with VERY open recruitment policies is probably the reason for the diluted state of affairs.
I also agree with the mention of Morale, that is something as i mentioned very Complicated. As I am not part of BoB anymore I can't imply that i know what their Morale is like.

BoB collect payment weekly/monthly from the pets, and have ships stocked, atm they are prolly one of the best stocked alliances in the game.

BoB collect payment weekly/monthly from the pets, and have ships stocked, atm they are prolly one of the best stocked alliances in the game.
Might want to ask EVOL about that.
Also, you said analist lol.
Why would i ask EVOL about one thing that is cristal clear? BoB alliance has received ALOT of isks from pet rents, sold items, etc etc and so on, they are most rich alliance, or one of the most rich, alliances in the game.
In other words, they have the gear, but they seem to be lacking the imagination to use the gear properly.
Not that i'm pro-BoB or anything, actually i despise most of their members with exception for a few people in there that are actually nice and decent, while the rest, pets included are only tools with lots of isks to spend and acting like they matter.
Now i'm not either pro-Goon because you guys are less polished version of BoB, but if it meens people have to support you just to reach an end... that being the end of BoB or at least the end of a large portion of their territory then so be it, its choosing between the less of 2 evils.
Only thing your alliance probably differs is that you don't put on that silly friends mask on foruns and GF you guys are respectable and all that crap that everyone else puts on in here when i fleet or gang i've smacked, i've seen others smack and everyone disrespects everyone and their mother in oposite gangs, petitions fly around and all that crap.
So after this little rant of mine and just for finals, someone needs to use the old thing called imagination and instead of going head on with the foe try to start hitting were it worst the most besides the pride...
Oh and i don't give a ******* if i make one mistake or 2 or whatever writing in english. _______________________

You're going to base your assessment of BoB finances on what you heard from a BoB member?
Their actions speak more then any plebian from BoB could. If they had this so called fortune, they could have pos spammed us back to Syndicate or at least fight this war a little more... efficiently.

Ok lemme put it this way, they receive more in a week from rents than probably your alliance does from all of you rating.
Note that i was in 2 alliances that paid rent to bob, and it wasn't cheap. Add corelum, aftermath,etc, rembember Xelas?, and so on, and you get the picture on Isks.
Not counting alts with research, industry, T2 mods, etc...
While you had to rebuild, BoB had to amass stuff, while you fought for space, BoB fought for a fatter wallet.
The BoB of today are not the same as of a few months ago, but take into consideration that, they have alot of people angry at them and shooting them.
The reason, and this is my opinion on the matter, why they haven't crushed you back to the stone age of EvE is because alone they can't, not with all your numbers and backup.
Its as simple as this, alone they can't, and well their pets have their hands full atm also.
Being labeled has the best means s**t if you can't hold on to the space you conquered.
Btw, remember what you and RA did to CORM!?
