FIX

IAC AAA The Reckoning Brotherhood of Steel Prime Orbital systems
IAC alone is over double the size of FIX. As for the "OMG BUT ITS ACTIVE PVP'RS THAT COUNT TOTAL DOESNT MATTER". Then you mean that IAC alliance is a bunch of self-centered carebears, who's problem is that ? According to IAC forum warriors it is MCFix's problem.

We weren't all in 49-u, and we didn't call in any other alliances to come to Querious. The Reckoning wanted to help fight FIX to get some practice with their capitals or something and we said sure why not. Didn't ask AAA to join the party either, they started their own seperate campaign near ED-, they'd been planning it before IAC started messing around in 49-u and H74.
BOS and POS were tiny alliances that joined IAC gangs for fun, we saw an opportunity for BOS to take over a station in 49-U and tried for it, didn't work out.
Until recently we weren't particularly serious about the invasion, hence why a lot of IAC weren't involved, personally I wouldn't say FIX alone was a match for even half of IAC, not in their current sad state.
PS; lol at IAC having nothing to do with MC failing two contracts against us =] clueless alt trolls ftw

So, 2 months, 100B isk (not even counting the rare e-peens), dozens of mandatory fleet ops, and 1 complete and total defeat later, and your story is "Well, we didn't really want that outpost anyway"?

We're completely defeated ? Might want to wait to count your chickens until you've successfully repulsed the attack on ED-.
Oh dear, AAA sov in your home station system ? Too bad about the sov 3 you're losing friday downtime, let's see how you like both sides having capitals in a fight for a station system =]

Ahahaha, 100 billion isk? While we're picking numbers off the top of our heads why don't we value each of your mothership loses at 200 billion isk? Man, you guys have lost 600 billion in motherships alone, this war seems to be going pretty rough for you.

Ask Tyrrax how much it costs for a completely faction-fitted faction tower, they lost 4 of those, plus a few hundred fleet BS over the course of the fight and numerous capitals. Yeah, it's close to 100B on our side, too, it's been an expensive war.
ED- was a diversionary attack that "succeded" because it failed to divert. Tyrrax is just making propaganda lemonade.
No, it's not over, Saturday's shaping up to be a fun morning. But we've been reconciled to the notion of ED- changing hands for a week, so the cheap shots there aren't exactly hitting home. What you'll notice he *isn't* denying is that they've lost in 49-U, 17 towers to nothing in a week (all destroyed, not withdrawn). Hard to make that look like a victory, unless he's saying 49-U was a 2-month diversion and the "much more valuable" ED- was their real target all along.

Edited by: tigress on 30/08/2007 08:36:34 Lost this much isk, lost this much yada-yada..
You know what counts? The loss of the ENTITY. If you loose a mothership it is one less mothership to defend your other assets.
It is not about the isk ever. It is about what the item could do to help you. Sure faction posses are nice, but they are quite stationary imo. A mothership or even a dread is more worth to me really.
Edit: Also, the loss of our presence in 49- is much worse than the iskloss on the towers.
btw, stirring the pot like we did and dragged the freaking north down, pretty sums up why we attacked in the first place, don't you think? ;)

I wonder what is the more appropriated term - "lost" or "pushed back". I'd rather say "pushed back", since we didn't own 49- in the first place. All else is simply consumatives *shrug*
We just didn't push hard enough.

Meh, it's all relative. No matter how you go about it, there is always going to be differing points of view on what matters the most in comparison to what. 
A dread, a carrier, a mothership or whatever, can surely enough protect your assets. However they can't give you sovereignty - You need a POS for that. So, in lue of that, if you pure hypothetically destroy all capital ships; the sovereignty remains in the hands of the enemy, and thus essentially apart from a really big blow to the opposing sides' wallet( ), and a really spiffy killboard ( ), maybe even a moral breakdown ( ) - You've accomplished absolutely nothing ( ). Mind you, having said that..that can still lead to victory, but thats beyond the scope of this hypothesis.
On the other hand, if you have made the enemy withdraw their POS'es ( ), or destroy them all ( ), not only do you take away the enemy's in-system staging point ( ), but you also cripple logistics ( ) and they lose their sovereignty ( ) - The end result being you have conquered the system ( ).
I'm not sure I myself see this as being enough coverage for what it all entails and means - What I am sure of though, is this: While we agree that the destruction of a larger entity, such as a mothership, can be highly symbolic and create a good moral boost - What ultimate matters, is the end result, whatever that may be! 
However like I said - It's all relative, I might be entirely wrong.

Caldela: then we agree, see my last addition? The loss of the presence (of us) in 49- is worse than the iskloss of the towers/and or the kills of motherships. Of course the post is subjective, every opinion is :). I just tend to ignore ISK more than real useable assets. Others might not.
And end results always speaks louder than anything. Let's see what they are further down the road.

As someone who fought for Fix when they were still independant, I think the reason for the blobbage is that Fix is the only Bob pet that actually fights well. So its the obvious choice for Bob to try to keep alive. Take as evidence the fact that the Norther Bob pets were pulled off of defending their own MC-given space to help Fix. That's because Fix space is more valuable to Bob than some loser pets who got space cuz MC didn't want to stay around.
Fix - I've said this before: You're too good an alliance to be a Bob pet. Throw off the shackles of Bobbitness and stop being your master's meatshield. If you stopped fighting, there is no other Bob pet that would be able to take the burden you bear. Bob would fall quickly, and you would be free.

So you had 2-1 odds on FIX to begin with by yourselves, and THEN added AAA, BOS and others, and you're complaining about blobs?

Since you're a stickler for numbers that don't really mean anything MC & co and IAC & co should leave and let AAA and FIX fight since they have comprable alliance numbers, which 9/10 CAOD forum posters will tell you is all that matters in a conflict

Why are the IAC crew crowing over ED? ED is entirely a AAA accomplishment; and at no point did IAC even have a presence in the system when FIX POS were taken down. You would think IAC would be quiet for a few days and contemplate their utter defeat in 49-u, and perhaps reasess their objectives. Let me give a hint, your objective has never been ED, you have done nothing to help take down the POS there, and any accomplishment achieved in ED is AAA's alone. POS spam does not win wars, being able to defend said POS define the winners in the end and this is why AAA has done what IAC could not in 49-u.
I will give huge props to -A- for smart play, and not laying down any smack in local or in the forums. It is messed up that the meat shields are always the ones to start trouble in and out of game, while the true power remain quiet and devoted to doing their job. I look forward to the inevitable blob this Saturday, I myself don't expect any conclusions to come from it, just another battle in the long way.
