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.

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. ------------------------------------------

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.

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.

Edited by: Cafu on 07/08/2007 23:02:10 At the end of this war, every character in Eve with less than 15 months of play time will be offered a spot in a GoonSwarm corp. Any other corp that harbors players with more than 15 months of play time will be marked for destruction. Out with the old, in with the new.

The OP does pose an interesting question(I didn't read it but I'm just guessing here) so I will respond without jest.
During the Roman invasion of Germanic lands, roman itself was breaking apart. However it was the war that kept them together. Moving on to the analysis of the battle of Leyte gulf, which brought the first use of kamikaze tactics recorded in the WWII, this proved that the original notion that it isn't the size but the motion of the ocean that counts.

In 793 a Viking raid on Christian monastery at Lindisfarne in northeast England caused much consternation throughout the Christian west, and is now often taken as the beginning of the age of Viking raids. Vikings were Scandinavian warriors, pirates and traders who raided the coasts of Britain, Ireland and mainland Europe as far as Al-Andalus and Italy from the late 8thû11th century. They also plundered all the coasts of the Baltic Sea, ascending the rivers of Eastern Europe as far as the Black Sea and Persia.

We're not here to destroy you. The war is nearly over for us. Remember, it's you that vowed to eradicate us. We're just carving out a space for ourselves to live. You got in the way, so you got carved too.
Molle should give a public apology and an admission of his mistake at trying to eradicate us from the map, as well as from Chowdown on behalf of LV to RA for the months of racism.
You're losing this war, both you and I know it. Best just to admit you cant kill us, pull back to wherever we decide you should pull back too, and have done with it. Of course fighting is fighting, and we shouldn't all be blue... however you cant claim your alliance is enjoying fighting. Your participation is down and consequently you're diluted with too many wannabee's (nowhere near as good as our newbees we're currently recruiting) and with your inability to kill RSF pos's with any regularity compared with our ability to kill them almost at will there is only one way this war will continue to go until something drastic changes.
I hope by speaking like bob, they can understand...although now bob are so full of LV perhaps I should speak more like LV.

Every analogy has it's limits. Holocaust is surely out of limits for this one.
Taking RL analogy is OK, even WW2 analogy. It's part of our history and there is no point to hide it. If analogy with WW2 helps to explain what poster was going to say why not to use it?
Now on topic: I don't see any third force willing to take over 0.0 after BoB/RSF bleed each other to death. I also think they won't bleed. If they hold some systems they will generate income. So as long as there is any kind of balance of power both parties have ISK to fight. Should one of them fall you would have to fight the other one (with much bigger number of generating ISK systems in hand now).

As the goon Sky Marshal who masterminded Operation Barbarossa (our victorious invasion of Scalding Pass, taking it from the Band of Brothers Alliance), I would just like to say that Goonswarm is pleased to announce an Anschluss of Jita, as our common ancestry with Caldari recruits as well as afk freighter pilots demands that we unite them in our Third Kingdom. Similarly, we are pleased to announce our current NAP with BoB after they grant us breathing room consisting of the entirety of the South.

Sounds like somebody's just jealous he lost Scalding Pass to a entity that is not allowed to live in 0.0 space.

You mean these boards that goons didn't post on? The only thing that's changed is everyone's perception of BoB. Now that you're getting your asses handed to you and being humiliated militarily you attempt to craft your own revisionist history in preparation for retreat, so you can still somehow make your underlings feel better by being able to carve out a word-victory.
SHRNA aside, I don't think the majority of your membership is that disturbingly stupid. I'm not omnipotent though so...
Good luck with that.

One could also make the argument that BoB seeking to eradicate goonfleet from the game, stating that we're dead and will never be allowed to build up again, then INVADING US is a slightly different version of history than us gunning for NOL seeing as how we'd made no move in your direction whatsoever.
You invaded us... but now we're failing because we posted on messageboards we didn't post on stating we're gunning for NOL without moving? And now you're not failing because we are because we were going to take over NOL, not you trying to remove us from the game and take space that we've now taken back for the most part?
You're a sharp one.
I think "The Pendulum" is actually referring to BoB's logic. It seems to swing in your own minds whichever way is most convenient for you.

Here's the thing guys, I really think BoB believes their own propaganda. I believe their rank and file actually, truly, at their core believe they are winning and that this is all part of the "Master Plan". Any moment now "The Pendulum" will swing and Goons will no longer exist in 0.0 space. It's the only way someone could actually spit some of the drivel they do on a daily basis, completely ignoring their own well documented and archived history on these very forums.

Go read that post. The then co-CEO mentioning the plan to destroy BoB. Check the other replies in the thread, check the threads posted around that date. It was full of it. The banning of posting for the goons helped kinda reduce the posts from your corp, but there are plenty posts about it coming from your side.
I find it extremely funny you're denying it happened now.
Talking about revisioned history.
The placing of POS by the coalition in Fountain/Delve/Querious/Period Basis earlier this year must've all been a figment of my imagination.

You linked me to a post by one of your pets... I'd hardly call that a goon saying see you in NOL. Whereas everyone can see your own corp's documented history of your failings right here from your own drooling mouths.
I could be wrong but the only places I recall Goon pos's going up MAY be Querious, and last I checked FIX lived there.
Everyone else attacks what they will. Now you can continue to try to point to things such as this as if it somehow gives you a point you never made, or you can respond to what I've stated regarding your stated objectives versus ours.
Either way, you lose.

BoB said Goons would never be allowed to hold 0.0. Coalition said that BoB was going to lose everything.
Neither side is quite there yet, the much-referenced Molestation Locomotive steamrolled LV but didn't quite reach Delve, while the BoB War Juggernaught seems stranded in and around the 99- area.
Oh hey, look, stalemate. I don't think either side should be talking about failed objectives just yet.

What I'm wondering is why Tolon is backpedalling from the statement made by the then co-ceo of goonswarm of the goal of destroying BoB. Does he see it as impossible or is there a different reason.
As this is just a forum, and the action in the game is what counts, there is no harm in answering this. |

Because he did not make the original statement? Kinda sucks to get opinions tacked on you as a legacy from the old administration.
As for "this is just a forum", we should both know that the forum can influence the game, much like the game influences the forums. It all counts in the end.

Accept that BoB has already been kicked out of 9-9 and Ten/Det in general. If there is a stalemate, it's in 66- and even that is slowly slipping from BoB's grasp. It's a slow moving front, but it's moving and it's quite a bit past 9-9. You may want to check your facts next time.

I'm wondering why you are still trying to repaint this conflict to rub salve on your ego. Goonswarm's never had a co-CEO. Don't worry, nobody's scared of BoB anymore.
Since the action in game is what counts you might want to make a better showing of it. Posting here through rose-colored glasses won't defend your pos's.

Both alliances have some rather lofty endgame goals. That alone is something to be admired, when most of EVE would content itself in achieving stupid and meaningless objectives simply because they are easily obtainable (see FREGE announcement). I guess the disappointment with Tolon's post is that it backpedals on some of the original intents; namely to annihilate us completely. Now it would appear that survival and denial (of space & complete victory) is the agenda. To me, thats a blatant loss of confidence, when the best you aim for is a stalemate.
Therein lies a big difference between the way we handle goals and objectives for each of our members. In the face of potential failure, one of us backs down to a more comfortable situation. Presumably, people will continue to hate us just the same even if we do lose everything but Delve, simply because the goals will be as arrogant and overconfident as ever.
As for the other part, a stalemate isn't bad either. It ensures the right mix of action and drama, and I could see this lasting for at least another 8 months before people feel stuck in routine. Flaunting catchphrases that attempt to humiliate us over the fact that Goons live in 0.0 (another pitifully stupid objective to have, unless you're new to the game) hit with the collective force of a kitten. Removing anyone from anywhere is difficult enough, especially if they huddle close to others. I doubt anyone is going to lose sleep that our 7-800 members can't each lock down one system.
To GoonSwarm, Band of Brothers the evil of their universe, their ultimate arch nemesis, and the reason for pretty much everything that happens. Thumbing their noses at us gives them pleasure, which explains some of the reactions to survival. Happy yes, but proud? The last alliance that shared this feeling was Phoenix Alliance. If theres anything for us to be proud of, its that; a sure sign that this war will be a proper one.. not some half-arsed campaign where the conclusion becomes obvious after two weeks.
And of course, forcing so many people to actually play the game

Of course. Let's face it....whoever eradicates the other first wins. I don't see how pretending like there were or are timeframes for this eradication for either side is going to change that.

BoB should send one pilot to fight the best pilot from RSF.
Meet in Jita, no holds barred, whoever kills the other wins. I'd pay 100m to see it.

Originally by: TWD Yeah yeah w/e, so tell me, whats so revisionist about it.
One could also make the argument that BoB seeking to eradicate goonfleet from the game, stating that we're dead and will never be allowed to build up again, then INVADING US is a slightly different version of history than us gunning for NOL seeing as how we'd made no move in your direction whatsoever.
You invaded us... but now we're failing because we posted on messageboards we didn't post on stating we're gunning for NOL without moving? And now you're not failing because we are because we were going to take over NOL, not you trying to remove us from the game and take space that we've now taken back for the most part?
You're a sharp one.
I think "The Pendulum" is actually referring to BoB's logic. It seems to swing in your own minds whichever way is most convenient for you.
Good thing for us it's all bull.
http://oldforums.eveonline.com/?a=topic&threadID=486825&page=5#147
Go read that post. The then co-CEO mentioning the plan to destroy BoB. Check the other replies in the thread, check the threads posted around that date. It was full of it. The banning of posting for the goons helped kinda reduce the posts from your corp, but there are plenty posts about it coming from your side.
I find it extremely funny you're denying it happened now.
Talking about revisioned history.
The placing of POS by the coalition in Fountain/Delve/Querious/Period Basis earlier this year must've all been a figment of my imagination.
Wait, some guy in fix makes up some chatlog or something and you take it as proof?
<twd> we are disbanding tomorrow and if we dont I'm giving tolon a 100 billion isk or all my characters.

Slow down... You want to be considered a master tactician? Win the next tournament without bringing your incredible wealth to help you. Win the tournament without implants/super ships, otherwise fully understand that people will continue to view you (& the tournament) as not a showcase of skill, but a showcase of alliance wealth.
Alliance Wealth for the win, baby. I'd estimate it accounted for 91% of the success.
91%? what kind of a number is that? are you a computer or something you know 87% of percentage facts are made up --------------------------------------------------------------

The difference here being the GS carrier belonged to a day old newbie who stole his mum's credit card in order to buy a Carrier and Pilot character which he lost to experienced pvpers.
As opposed to the BoB carrier, a veteran of the collapse of LV and an experienced player now in BoB who lost his carrier to a bunch of noobs hiding inside a POS shield.
But haha, You're right stealing your folks credit card so you can start the game in a carrier only to lose it the very same day is hilarious.

The guy stole his parents credit cards and timecarded about $1000 USD worth of money into ISK, bought a 48m SP character and then proceeded to warp his brand spanking new carrier to a planet in lowsec and get ganked. Truth is often funnier than fiction.

Actually, he got ganked at a gate. He was shooting the sentries for some inexplicable reason. A single celestis kept him tackled because he didn't have any non-fighter drones fit.

Actually their corporation is called The Establishment and they were the first owner of a mothership which narrowly escaped destruction when BoB and co. shut down ec-p8r and destroyed the TRUST capital shipyards.
They have been known for pirating in low sec and the southern 0.0 area for almost a year or so, using their Nyx, assorted faction ships and other capital ships and well orchestrated tactics to trap many different of their victims in an almost surgical-like manner. They also fought the UK alongside Veto and other forces.
Thats pretty much the jest of it, you should really talk to your superior GS directors about such entities before you post this delusional and clueless example of noob. |

Originally by: The Praetor 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.

But yeah, armchair historical juxtapositions of Twentieth Century conflicts of ideology and of twentyfirst century online video game made by 13yr olds would be funny if it was not so common or tragically inaccurate.
I just wished everytime someone made a thread like this and got smoked for it they actually went back and read up on the subject. Hopefully this would eventually create an intellectual Darwinism within the COAD.
ccp, we need a final solution on all these crappy coad threads...

Poster: DB Preacher
Quote: Good morning,
Recently I made the promise to bring the full stats of our aggressions against GoonSwarm to the forums.
I now fulfill this promise.
We have removed the GoonSwarm Industrial Backbone, without a problem.
The main corps, GoonFleet and GoonWaffe have split, scattered and ran from us. When they came, they came with no conviction and were slaughtered.
At the start of this week, the only corporation in GoonSwarm with any pvp honour, The Forsakened Companions, left GoonSwarm.
We wish them nothing but the best of luck in their future travels and hope they find what they are looking for in Eve.
The Future of GoonSwarm SO... what next?
Are we going to continue camping S-U for the remainder of our lives? No.
Are GoonSwarm dead then! No.
Are GoonSwarm ever going to be allowed to build up in any way in 0.0 space again? No. Kari laughs
For the moment, we are leaving syndicate but we will continue to monitor the GoonSwarm and should we feel that they have done anything of note in the game, we will destroy it.
I am sure that some of those remaining GoonSwarm members will be rejoicing at having survived this long against us but I can only ask you were you have been recently.
Keep watching Goons, because we will.
We will be back, with gangs, with fleets, with BoB.
We command your game now. As long as you remain in GoonSwarm, we make you play our way and nothing you say will really convince yourself that this isn't true.
All Too Easy.

You don't know what Godwin's Law is. It's not a spell; EXPECTO GODWINUS, that conjures up a ghostly white Panzerkampfwagen which flattens the poster who made the comparison and everyone thereafter.
Additionally, Godwin's Law only applies to Usenet discussions.
Get with the times dude- the meme shall spread it's wings and engulf all of the intrawebs!
(And anyhow, that's just what Usenet people say to feel special. Mr Godwin himself claims the Law is: "As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving ****s or ****** approaches one.")
Which doesn't mean anything by itself and "Invoking" godwin's law makes you a tard. Try reducto ad ******um if you're looking for the spell.

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.
For those of you (which would actually be the vast majority of you) who missed my point on page one. Notice it conveys the same message, without a historical example.
I'm actually impressed how easily distracted you all get. 5 Pages of posts about the Historical Analogy and various other knuckleheads who were completely confused about the main idea.
The main idea was dumb and you are dumb as well.
Much like Lee's thrust against the Union at Gettysburg, which is very similar to this current war in fact...
Hmm...
Intersesting. Here I was thinking First and Second Bull Run (aka First and Second Manassas) generally more applicable.
Live an learn.

I fear you for you humorcidal tendencies, yet feel that if only someone would reach out and offer you love, there may be a sweet comedian on the inside just waiting to burst out and murder people for lulz.
(Also, invoke means "to appeal to or cite in justification of something". So poo to you.) --------
