Hello, Mr. Honorable CAOD Alt.
Thank you for so prominently mentioning a our prestigious publication, Eve Tribune. Actually, I've been writing an article on the battlefield against BoB in the most recent wave of POS-sieging. It's probably going to be in the issue to be released monday (if all goes well with my co-writers, A-HEM)
I'd like to address your post. I've got one issue with your opening of course, in defense of my co-writer's honor.

"BoB and Goon are still going tooth and nail over in the west, with really not much change."
You're referring to an article in last week's Eve Tribune that's a 'general update' called 'This Week in Eve'. It's not a detailed war report, it focuses more time in commenting about expected downtimes, welcoming Backdoor Bandit to our staff, major weekly crashes and SQL issues, Tyraxx losing an Imperial Armageddon, and MC trying to help out FIX from AAA/IAC. It's a summary of events, and it's hardly impartial to declare 'omfg, sweeping victory', in the same manner in which LV died after losing the JV-1V Titan Yards.
Given that at the moment, we're lacking a reporter who is directly on that front, we must rely on interviews and reports with other people, as well as monitoring sov changes. This means there's definately going to be delays in any updates, as well as confusion over what exactly is changing hands and when. It's a lot different than the Northern Campaign, where we had participants on both sides of the fence.
As it is, there certainly has been a recent reversal in favor of RSF, but it is certainly not as noticible as the sweeping advances made in earlier phases. Until one side breaks to the point of losing multiple systems quickly (such as the way LV/ASCN/D2 Folded), it's going to be impossible, and irresponsable to predict the results until more systems echange hands.
Please excuse us if we refrain from making such open claims such as

CCP will not save you. It is not going to radically alter the game or break it for your benefit. If it wanted to do that, it would not have fixed the supercapitals. You are outnumbered due to your own faults and you will increasingly be outnumbered as your participation drops and pets flee your side.
Constellation sovereignty will not save you. It will not make your systems invincible, and in fact will assist RSF more than you due to the introduction of jump bridges.
The Mercenary Coalition will not save you. It is busy in Querious, where it has not been distinguishing itself but has been providing lots of fun for IAC and AAA.
We don't believe those to be particularly objective, nor entirely informative on the exact state of events in the South.
Thank you very much for your continued interest in our publication as well as in 0.0 political activism, James 315. May YACI1MAC's secret Supercapital Buildup take both BoB and RSF off-guard when the time comes, and usher in a new age under our CAOD-Alt Posting Overlords.
