Mr McKin	Posted - 2007.08.06 08:34:00 - [631] Edited by: Mr McKin on 06/08/2007 08:34:32 Originally by: Lady Caeser "CCP nerfed Titans to a point when the doomsday is only usable against very weak opponents who not expecting it anyways." no, they nerfed it to the point where its no longer invincible, and only usable against an opponent who you can be tactically superior to - this is why bob are losing. It is effectively same. You NEED nearly invicible ship to fight in an environment with 20 minutes of lag. Now dont tell me stories about poor goons/ra. RA for instance could have build at least 3 titans already and use em against BoB. They didn't. Why? Oh where is my tinfoil hat damnit!
Dray Caldari Spartan Industries Cruel Intentions	Posted - 2007.08.06 08:34:00 - [632] Originally by: Etherios Edited by: Etherios on 06/08/2007 06:07:40 Originally by: Shihuangdi Originally by: Gromodzilla This whole thing reminds me of the movie 300. A small group of ppl trying to do a stand against a new big army. We all know how that ends though :) Didn't Sparta just surrender i really dont know where u come from or what are ur beliefs... but this is a game and i see u ppl cant really understand this right? this is a GAME. Now about Sparta.... i am Greek and i am REALLY ******* proud of it. If u think Sparta EVER surender to Persians then think again. 300 spartans + 1000 thespians Vs 1mil persians. IN REAL LIFE (hope u know what that is right?) they hold them at bay and were kill by a traitor, they keep appearing all over RL history. This has nothing to do with a GAME so keep ur RL comments out of this. But i guess u are incapable of doing that right? poor u.... P.S. Don't believe what movies show ... they are movies (aka not real) read a book here and there it helps, some ppl not all... Off thread. You should be proud of greek history and for a lot more than the spartans, as for thermopylae there's so much conflicting evidence that its folly to claim "accurate" knowledge. I've studied greek history and the debates still rage about thermopylae, Herodotus, the most quoted source, born in the same period but a little later than the actual battle, claimed 2 million persians while historians still dont know for sure. Personally from my own reading I'd say the total number of men the commited to the campaign was @1.5 million, that includes everything from naval to ground forces, logistics and train, as for the actual battle, no one knows and until we get time travel, (as if) we'll never know, go for a safe conservative estimate and you might @250 thousand persians commited to the battle. The single most important thing to remember about this little slice of history is that all alleged facts are written by the victors, persion history, for obvious reasons is a little grey. That a few held off many is true, beyond that you opinions are just as valid as mine, but neither of us can claim to be correct. As for the banana comment, you lucked out this guy wasnt eygptian and told to suck eggs while he lectured you on culture. On topic. When is the 66 slugfest going to end?

Don't believe what movies show ... they are movies (aka not real) read a book here and there it helps, some ppl not all... i once read in a book that spartans enjoyed *** each other in the ***** You know i also read that in the 300 story, The Spartans didn't fare anywhere near as well as the history books would lead us to believe and were all in fact starved until they surrendered and executed while the women and children were sold as slaves all over the Mediterranean. So you read a book that told you that the other books were wrong. I was sworn to absolute secrecy BY CCP.
IHurricane Sniggerdly Pandemic Legion	Posted - 2007.08.06 08:51:00 - [634] Originally by: Gneeznow Originally by: Lord XSiV Originally by: mamolian Hmm CCP created a shard for the Chinese.. thinking that if only a fraction of people actually kept their subscription awake.. the majority of Tranquillity players would be speaking Mandarin.. How about a separate shard for the goons? Yeah, CCP could probably get government funding for providing something for the mentally challenged..... as opposed to m.pire, the most genius and brilliant pvp'ers of all of eve, who, after losing 3 motherships, proceed to warp a hel and a thanatos to a gate to try and catch 3 vaga's and a scimitar Hey, don't forgett my rifter. ---------------------------------------
Shadowsword COLSUP Tau Ceti Federation	Posted - 2007.08.06 08:54:00 - [635] Originally by: Etherios Now about Sparta.... i am Greek and i am REALLY ******* proud of it. If u think Sparta EVER surender to Persians then think again. 300 spartans + 1000 thespians Vs 1mil persians. IN REAL LIFE (hope u know what that is right?) they hold them at bay and were kill by a traitor, they keep appearing all over RL history.

Don't believe what movies show ... they are movies (aka not real) read a book here and there it helps, some ppl not all... Speaking about movies and real events, do you seriously think there was 1 million persians? Think a moment about the amount of food their primitive logistic could provide, even with pillaging... "Thermopylae is primarily known for the battle that took place there in 480 BC, in which an outnumbered combined Greek force of approximately 7,000 held off the advancing Persians under Xerxes for three days before being betrayed. A local named Ephialtes revealed a mountain pass that allowed Xerxes to outflank the Greeks. Leonidas sent the main army in retreat while a small band of Spartans stayed behind and resisted the advance to the last man. The combined Greek force included 300 Spartans, 4,900 additional heavy infantry from Arcadia, Corinth, Thespiae, Phocis, Tegea, Mantinea, Mycenae, Phleious, and Thebes, an unspecified amount from the Opuntian Locrians and a number of slaves (each hoplite could be expected to have at least one lightly armed retainer)[4]. Although the Persians were many in number, and their manpower clearly exceeded that of the Greeks, estimates of their actual strength vary widely, from an army as small as 20,000 to as large as 5,000,000 (Greek historian Herodotus numbered the Persian army at 2,000,000); the most widely accepted number is between 200,000 and 300,000." -- Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermopylae. Looks like your numbers were a bit off. Maybe you could try reading a book? ------------------------------------------ What is Oomph? It the sound Amarr players makes when they get kicked in the ribs.
Stelteck Minmatar Section XIII Tau Ceti Federation	Posted - 2007.08.06 09:36:00 - [636] Edited by: Stelteck on 06/08/2007 09:37:17 Edited by: Stelteck on 06/08/2007 09:36:38 Originally by: Shadowsword Although the Persians were many in number, and their manpower clearly exceeded that of the Greeks, estimates of their actual strength vary widely, from an army as small as 20,000 to as large as 5,000,000 (Greek historian Herodotus numbered the Persian army at 2,000,000); the most widely accepted number is between 200,000 and 300,000."[/i] -- Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermopylae. Looks like your numbers were a bit off. Maybe you could try reading a book? +1 shadowsword you are right. it is funy to discover previously historical citation that come more from the legend than from the reality. Do not forget also that the strict discipline and the full militarisation of spartian society was in fact a weakness which prevent the adaptation of the society to new technologies and tactical/strategic change. Spartian army were beaten by THEBES, by MACEDONIA and then by rome.... The battle against thebes (See Battle of leuctra) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Leuctra is very interesting to study as it show as the classical and strict tradition of battle in sparta army made them predictable and ready to be defeated.

Looks like your numbers were a bit off. Maybe you could try reading a book? Gotta agree with ya buddy i was in the british army and although i had nothing to do with logistics it always makes me laugh when i hear about a army of 2,000,000 or other ridiculous numbers. An army that size in one place could'nt sustain itself for a week let alone any longer especialy as it had to be supplied by sea. Even 2-300,000 would need to be on the move from city to city just to keep its self fed and as far as i can tell the persians hardly moved.
Baline Aegis Tau Ceti Federation	Posted - 2007.08.06 11:09:00 - [640] Edited by: Baline Aegis on 06/08/2007 11:10:30 Sorry to disturb you with your historical/legendary observations, but this morning, the 6 spartans/bob in 66-PM local didn't shoot the UNL POSes that came out of reinforcement. Numbers are still 36 UNL, 32 BoB POS. I don't have the date of sov change.

Ask to _Y_ about it.. just don 't use too many "A" in your words or they might soem strange surge to run. If brute force doesn't solve your problem... you are not using enough

Last 5 pages is a dialogue between 2 ppl who have nothing better to do aparently. How about you guys talk in tells :) P.S. CCP YOU SUCK. Feel free to moderate this last statement. Holy sweet jesus ... I think Levka almost got me fired from work cause i started laughing so loud and uncontrollably. A BoB member complaining about CCP ROFLLAMOLOLLAWLSLAFFO. Did u get upset at them now because one of them stopped spawning bpo's for you? Or did one of the GM's **** you off on MSN? Or are u just tired of losing space and are making a feeble attempt at trying to blame someone else for your failures? Anywhose ... LOLOLOL ... i've been fighting BoB and their endless arrogance for IDK how long and its been fun cause yalls forum persona has always been much more inflated then ur in game one ... but reading countless bob whine posts ITT makes me harder than Chinese algebra. Hearing all you asshats go from "LOL we rulez you, L2P, ur alliance sux can i have ur stuff, adapt or die" to "cry cry Goons, TCF, RA, and friends ***ed in my cereal WHAA WHAA WHAA, fix the game emoemocutcut*" makes me want to play this game more and more. And tbh sitting through a couple of lagfest fights is made all the more worth while when u get to later blow up pos's AND read the crying on the forms ... its a twofer!! I really do hope that all of you guys quit and go play another game so the people here can enjoy CCP's masterpiece without you! <3 Can't sleep clowns will eat me!!

Good point, where has any coalition titan been lately? You say this after an AAA titan just wiped out an entire YouWhat fleet and after RA used their new titan to inject angry goons past a gatecamp into the 66- system. Is it really that hard to troll the coalition these days? I mean, we're meeting a lot of success but there have to be some failures somewhere, right?
