A little Historical Background During WWII, There was some discussion amongst the 2 allies, US and UK, about whether to actually invade Normandy and open the Western Front.
The question was raised: If Germany IS our enemy, and the Soviet Union WILL BE our enemy, and they are currently killing each other in record numbers, why is this a bad thing, and why should we try to stop it?
Now I will let you substitute who is BoB and who is RCF in the historical example yourselves...
My Point: Perhaps most of us are hoping neither of you will gain domination in this war. Maybe we are hoping both of you will just bleed each other white.

Edited by: Dark Shikari on 07/08/2007 18:34:00 Oh god another World War II comparison thread.
In before the real-life comparisons get even more out of hand as we see words like "Stalingrad" and "holocaust" being thrown around
(Hint: RL comparisons are very bad. Don't. Thread will probably be locked anyways)

I think neither Bob nor RSF will ever die. At worst, one of us will lose it's territories and invade another place.
There's a major fault in your reasoning: We lose ships fighting each other, but ships are meant to be lost. And we pick up experience and skills.
As a general rule, don't fear the enemy that has more money, or SP, than your own, fear the one that know how to survive while being constantly at war against a powerfull opposition. ------------------------------------------

Gotta admit though,although you cannot compare eve online to ww2,I find myself referring to the RSF/Allies v BoB/Pets war as THE EASTERN FRONTnamely a vicious war of attrition,where surrender is not an option.

I look at the war as more of a "You put your chocolate in my peanut butter" kind of conflict, where the end result is a yummy treat to be enjoyed by all.

And what is so bad about RL comparisons when it comes to tactics and strategies ?
Just because this is a internet spaceship mmorpg doesn't mean that the individuals behind the characters don't get bored, don't get their spirit broken. It doesn't mean that there aren't tactics behind naps, strategies. MC was sent to the north to make D2 release pressure off BOB's territories. Now the north has a power void, and as long as this is not filled, the North is no threat to either Ragoon or BoB. Just an example.
Caldari are the plague of EVE, little whiners that must be cleansed from TQ. |

The current war is much more like the Battle of Hastings, in that the numbers 66 were involved. Also, the Hundred Years war, since there were Brits in it. Also, the war on grout, being waged on my bathroom tile, cause the grout is hard to get to, and just wants to hide in the *****s and crevices.
