Long answer. If you approached MC with a brilliant plan on how to defeat MC and provided the finances to cover the risk and a healthy profit then MC might be able to take out MC for you. This really is a "How would Chuck Norris kill Chuck Norris" question.

If you hire someone way more efficient then MC to decimate MC, it can be done.
But atm, There arn't any big groups that's highly as efficient as MC.
but if there were like 500 Burn Eden members, they could easily do the job?

Not unless your looking for a pilot with less than 20 million sp. But witty as all get out. 
And when I bribe its with untraceable precious jewels. Or veldspar if its Chribba.
Seriously though. No, I don't think any single standing force right now could defeat the MC. From what I've read and what after battle footage I've taken the time to analyze, they're so very professional in their approach to combat (within the limits of a game environment) it allows them to fight much larger numbers of lesser organized forces at any time, even on multiple fronts (even taking the superiority of a lot of their equipment out of the equation).
If you managed to stand up to the raw firepower that they will surprise you with (right where your weakest defense is, bet on it). And then cleared out their manufacturing strength and pushed them into a guerilla war, it would just get worse for the aggressor. Because once freed from territorial defense responsibilities, they'd truly be able to focus entirely on their attacker, which given the way eve is setup, would find it nearly impossible to defend against a highly mobile hit-and-run force. So instead of being crushed by a surprise sledgehammer blow, you'd suffer the death of a thousand cuts later. Either way, an attacking force would lose. They day you took their territory would be when they shifted from intimidating to terrifying.
I'd also be absolutely stunned if the MC didn't have the materials in reserve to get new manufacturing outposts up and running within a few days of losing their entire current territory. They seem like they've got one or more tacticians that understand that three plans are best. The one you show, the one you do, and the ace in the hole that lets you reset the board if you start losing.
So no. Right now, ship for ship or leader for leader, MC wouldn't lose. You might be able to get them with a massive superiority of numbers. But, risking being cliche here, it would be like watching 300. They might go, but they won't go alone, and they'd cripple whoever it was that tried that approach.
Sorry for rambling, that's what happens when you marry into a family of military historians, it starts rubbing off on you.

tbh i stopped reading after this part cause it is very very wrong
mc alone can't take out any serious entity (ie bob, ra, mm, rzr, tri, goons (yes they are serious entity kinda)...) they choose their contracts and dont accept any that looks hard enough... or they do and they fail like against mm in north when they actually did fight alone
even when they screw up and take contract they cant fulfill, or think they cant, they dont involve capitals, till they see which way conflict is going (if it isnt going so good they'll just say - 'Hey we had a contract which didnt involve taking stations')
all their major deeds arent their alone, they had loads of 'friendlies' on their side (ie destroying allready destroyed alliance - D2, 'defending' fix - still nto finished, etc)
if you are refering only to unorganized forces as you mentioned in your post, you can send outbreak they would do nice against such, so no mc isnt only one
and fightning on multiple fronts is one thing mc never done (unles you think fighning npcs on alt tab and waiting for battle at main account, is fightning on multiple fronts)

i seriously doubt it (maybe goons but they gots suas:P), rzr maybe (only cause their fc's are immature when it comes to certain things - not directly related to pvp), but not the others. mm didnt ever show their full strength (they will only when their stations come to danger, which is kinda selfish but... meh), bob and ra are no need to comment... TRI are pure class, and they still didnt have chance to bring it all... but with such ammount of top pvp-ers, with awsome leaders, with pwning karma... drow your own conclusions :p

Ending MC? Well, Alliance level based, most probably, though that counts for all alliances. Wil they reform after it happens? Probably not, EVE would have changed too much when that happens.
Though whatever may happen in the future, one fact is for sure, EVE will keep evolving and Corporations and Alliances will need to adjust to that same fact, who knows how the influence chart will be, 365 days from now?

Oh dear lord. What have I done. I've released Barrens chat into EvE. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Chuck Norris alone. Hmm, close call. MC would DD Chuck and maybe singe one of his chucktanium beard hairs. Then he would roundhouse kick the nearest star and destroy the MC fleet. Seleene would have a stealthed recon on standby to salvage the beard hair. Then the new duplication skill would be put to good use in building their next fleet of ships from synthetic chucktanium after Chuck gets bored and leaves. MC Mk 2 ships begin fulfilling a long standing contract on the Polaris fleets. Chuck beats MC, MC pwns Polaris, Vin Diesel and Mr. T hear about what Chuck's been up to and decide to check out this EVE thing. Chuck hears they're playing and comes back. The presence of Chuck, Mr., and Vin on the server simultaneously cause all of CCP's hamsters to explode from the presence of pure awesome. CCP is destroyed in the furball doomsday. EVE ends. Jack Bauer sees the CCP explosion, decides that was the bomb, and retires.
The end.
Chuck bless CAOD. |

The problem with having MC do the work for you is, as we saw up North, they aren't going to stick around after the job is done and babysit. Sure, you can have them go conquer a few regions for you for the right price, but in the end, you're still stuck defending the space unless you live next door to their own home space, in which case their survival is highly dependant on your own.

And when I bribe its with untraceable precious jewels. Or veldspar if its Chribba.
Seriously though. No, I don't think any single standing force right now could defeat the MC. From what I've read and what after battle footage I've taken the time to analyze, they're so very professional in their approach to combat (within the limits of a game environment) it allows them to fight much larger numbers of lesser organized forces at any time, even on multiple fronts (even taking the superiority of a lot of their equipment out of the equation).
If you managed to stand up to the raw firepower that they will surprise you with (right where your weakest defense is, bet on it). And then cleared out their manufacturing strength and pushed them into a guerilla war, it would just get worse for the aggressor. Because once freed from territorial defense responsibilities, they'd truly be able to focus entirely on their attacker, which given the way eve is setup, would find it nearly impossible to defend against a highly mobile hit-and-run force. So instead of being crushed by a surprise sledgehammer blow, you'd suffer the death of a thousand cuts later. Either way, an attacking force would lose. They day you took their territory would be when they shifted from intimidating to terrifying.
I'd also be absolutely stunned if the MC didn't have the materials in reserve to get new manufacturing outposts up and running within a few days of losing their entire current territory. They seem like they've got one or more tacticians that understand that three plans are best. The one you show, the one you do, and the ace in the hole that lets you reset the board if you start losing.
So no. Right now, ship for ship or leader for leader, MC wouldn't lose. You might be able to get them with a massive superiority of numbers. But, risking being cliche here, it would be like watching 300. They might go, but they won't go alone, and they'd cripple whoever it was that tried that approach.
Sorry for rambling, that's what happens when you marry into a family of military historians, it starts rubbing off on you.
I got quoted by Seleene. Forum crit \o/.
I thought this was some sort of awesome meta troll at first, what with the use of :twisted: and the whole "taking MC's space will only free them from the shackles of territorial warfare" bit, but my God, you're serious aren't you?
*edit* I've just got to point out how disgustingly brown-nosed your post was. I literally dry heaved as I neared the end, it's that terrible. I don't think I've ever seen anybody plead for attention and respect more blatantly than you have here, and this is from somebody who's been fighting BoB pets constantly for the past few months.
Actually, the first guy may be right. Many people don't remember, but MC were scary bastards before they settled down. And given how well organized they are, I can see them being determined rather than totally demoralized following any potential loss of their space. I don't know if they would continue prosecuting a war against their aggressor for a huge length of time. They would, however, probably go back to their roots of efficient-as-hell fleet for hire. But now with a lot more cap ships. A LOT. --------------

Oh trust me, I'm sure that when MC is kicked out of Period Basis and the north they'll become vicious opponents freed from the oppression of, well... owning stuff, just like -V- and LV did. I just can't stand it when pubbies get quoted by Molle or Dianaballick and then they get all flustered and promptly fall to their knees, begging Seleene to give them something to choke on so that they might one day pleasure him enough to be allowed into hallowed and honourable ranks of the mighty Mercenary Coalition. It's sad.

One of the most impressive things about MC IMO is the leadership. Seleene is a strong hand and a sharp mind, a great inspiration for all girl gamers of Eve. Even if we are enemies I have nothing but the greatest respect for her. I too hope to be leadership material some day, (both in Eve and RL, going to business school) and even if gender equality has come a long way it's still very hard to be a woman in charge of men...
I salute you m'am!

One of the most impressive things about the Goons is how utterly childish the great majority of you seem to be.
As for the rest, I don't see MC going anywhere, except perhaps into that brand spanking new IAC outpost they've just had "reimbursed".

Originally by: Taran Summers Edited by: Taran Summers on 02/09/2007 15:04:18 Short answer. No.
Long answer. If you approached MC with a brilliant plan on how to defeat MC and provided the finances to cover the risk and a healthy profit then MC might be able to take out MC for you. This really is a "How would Chuck Norris kill Chuck Norris" question.
1st in an epic thread. (Blast Second had to edit.)
Id**t of the day, congrats m8!
How old are you? 14? You think MC is one uber power that only them selfs could kill them selfs?
And have you never heared that Chuck Norris SU**ED BIG TIME? Of all the marshal arts figther you pick "fat su**s now way i can figth norris" ?
If Goons/RA with frieds gets alitle bit closer to MC/BoB space, the panik will spread over there mebers, and thenyou will see the "worlds" bigest snow ball efect of mass leaving of mebers. And soon after that MC will lose there home sistems, and then kill them selfs.
Have a nice day MC Seleen licka a** whana bee.
Btw, nice hair cut

Ive never liked em tbh, BOB maybe elitist but at least they aint ever gonna uber blob everybody simply because of that fact.
My alliance is in the war up north and not many of us have any respect or good feelings towards goon but BOB was causing us grief.

If BoB hasn't uber-blobbed you yet, that means they are winning. BoB is both capable of and willing to send a 250 ship fleet, but only if they encounter serious resistance. If they can beat you easily with small gangs then that's all they'll use, and keep their main fleet down south where it's needed.

Considering that half of Goonfleet hates being associated with goons I'd say you would have been fine posting that on your main. Of course, if you did post it on your main everyone would find out that you're just a bitter, disgruntled BoB pet and your post would have even less credibility than it does now.

Anything you could possibly think of to complain about regarding goons, BoB did it either first or worse, not least of all blobbing D2's capital production to death. Luckily nobody falls for your "I have every reason to like goons BUT EVEN I CAN'T STOMACH THEM I'm fighting BoB BUT BOB ARE SO GREAT" act. You're a liar and a bad one.

I think the official plan after we run out of interesting targets is to fly apart due to internal drama, or collectively decide to go ride bikes.

You say that a lot of goon members actualy dislike the goons but because my corp does not allow mains to post on the forums you call me a BOB pet just for disliking you as well, does that make the goons who dislike you BOB pets also?.
FYI my main is at the moment fighting in branch against COW/FATAL and M-PIRE or are you gonna contradict yourself and say they are no longer pets?.
You are the biggest A**HOLE on the forums stop posting your venomous drivel..

Perhaps if you did not do so much double talk bullsh*t you would'nt accuse others of it as much.
BTW my main is in a corp in TRI that bans posting by our mains unless authorised to do so by our corp leader so as not to confuse personal opinions with CORP/ALLIANCE policy.
