Originally by: Patch86 Well its fairly clear cut. MC are involved in a POS spam war down south, and you're enabling them to take more POS's on to the front lines that, otherwise, would have been stranded.
As you say, it's down south. It's a southern issue, and I doubt anyone up here really cares (in the immediate sense, I'm sure in the intellectual sense there is some caring). After all, the north* fought MC and friends, not BoB. And they're gone now.
*And some of us shot everyone, because we're (to quote a Fallen Souls, now YouWhat pilot) pathetic lowsec (even if we spent 60% of the time in nullsec) pirates.

I disagree with you.

Not that I'm complaining either way, it being nothing to do with me. As you rightly say, thats not the only factor by which people make decisions.
Okay..let me think about this. That must be because MC is strapped for cash to buy new towers AND NPCs stopped selling them, so there's a finite supply now...and...and...the easiest way to get more towers down south would be to go up to BRANCH, spend time un-anchoring them, transporting them from the top of the map to the bottom of the map and then put them up in Catch.
I see what you mean now.
I guess we all better be careful with the towers still in circulation, then. 
Are you guys gettin the towers at a discounted rate?
not flame, serious question.
Not that I'm personally aware of.
To some of the other more recent posters in this thread...nice to see a little deeper thinking going on. Very nice.

Originally by: Prophet Malcalypse3 Why shoot towers and burn diplomatic bridges with a mercenary force you may use in the future?
good choice Northern thingies.
Yeah, esp. when you use them vs. BoB in the future. Listen to the MC alt guys!
isn't it funny how some people advocate both GTC<=>ISK trades and EVE being superior due to its cruelty and costly losses, when they use the former to circumvent the latter?

They still cost money, and money is money. MC may be rich, but itd be downright ridiculous to imagine they're so blasT about that kind of money that it doesn't make a difference either way. If it was really that inconsequential, why would they even bother retrieving them?
They're removing those towers because (like everyone) they'd rather not have that amount of cash go up in smoke needlessly. They're involved in a big POS war, and they're moving a rather large quantity of POS's from the north to their southern frontlines. It's not difficult to see how that is a (very sensible) strategic move.
But again, I'm not exactly flaming you guys. You can do whatever you like; it's not your problem whats going on down south. You guys have other factors (not least of which fun, and the lack thereof involved in POS wars) to take in to consideration. ------

Fact is; MC aren't currently contracted against the north, so there is no reason MC would commit forces up there. Not to mention the sheer lack of logistical thinking that would go into 'okay-ing' such a move.

Well yes...it's not like they are worthless assets. They just aren't as important as some were trying to make them out to be. I doubt seriously the assets themselves figure into their "strategy" very much all.

MC took the opportunities given to us for creative destruction. We put a lot of effort into creating a varied, interesting, map in the North, out of the ashes of D2's empire. You could have played EVE up there for a year and enjoyed only scenarios that the game works for. Instead you blobbed up and stomped over it all. You chose to create the North YOU wanted, and had the strength to do it. Fair enough; we did it too. But you know what is going to happen if you join the lagfest with more hundreds of pilots.

I think all Mynas was trying to say was that a lot of those guys in the North kept talking about how they were happy to not do the POS thing and just wanted some neighbors to pew pew. They had that and have now taken it away from themselves. At least that's the way I read it. Priorities / desires change, I guess. Meh.
Also, about "POS spam"? MC has one tower in Catch. Move along, we're not the alliance you're looking for. -

Sorry, as one of the two biggest players in a raging sovereignty war, I assumed you were involved in the POS warfare as much as anyone.
But either way, my point about saving the money (and saved money being helpful in any war of any type) still stands. If you didn't care about the money, you wouldn't be bothering with the somewhat tedious task of moving all the towers out of the north. Its not exactly controversial to assume you don't want some of your stuffs destroyed if you can help it.
And facts are facts, its easier to move towers to safety if you're blue to your neighbours than it is if you're at war. If Northerners were bothered about helping the war in the South, destroying your towers would be a sensible place to start.
Although again, I'm not flaming. No-one says they have to care about whats going on down South (my own alliance's involvement in shooting up the MAD Pact is testament to the "its not only about BoB" philosophy). I'm just saying that it does have an effect on the war, whether the participants care about this effect or not. ------

You are right. When we take down both POS in QYZM/I-7 that will allow us to TREBLE our commitment to taking Catch. Tyrrax is quaking in his boots at the prospect.
Seriously, you shouldn't read CAOD, and then assume you understand what is going on in EVE.

I'am not involved in any way in the Northen wars pos and after d2 disband,but correct me if i'am wrong COW/MPIRE/Fatal didnt had any chance after you(triumvirate) entered and "assist" their foes ,from my perspective yes they folded but folded like man not like some crappy alliance. Youwaht did a mistake i think ,to trust that after the new north had folded they would be attacked by their long term and only blues in the north mainly triumvirate.
And besides i donŠt get this animosity to MC ,because last time i remember when MC was in the North they didnt got any resistance from the all mighty d2 and d2 let they allies to rot evacuating every asset.
If this seemed like smack i'am sorry but i'am tired off reading CAOD and tougth to replly to this thread because it seems it isnt plaged by smack.

I suspect that History will show that YouWhat were quietly behind the scenes starting fall apart, management against management. Its hard to look at regional politics when internal strife is drawing all your attention. I think many YW also saw their future as part of the north rather than with their previous afiliation with the south. However thats no longer an issue now the north is entirely Red to those who remained YW.

Then it is very good that they removed MC from the north. Because MC is for sure not know to give some pew pew. They set up a massive blob and then try to steamroll down everything with that blob, of course counting that the lag favours them highly with their 50+ carriers.
I guess people who want to do some funny pew pew fleet action won't lament being rid of the MC guys.
Can't even blame MC for their choice of action. They are, as they say, mercenaries. So they need to do the work they have to do. They cannot afford to have some battles for fun - that wouldn't make their contractors happy. The contractor want to see results, nothing else.

That horse is thoroughly dead, you can stop beating it. Nobody outside of week old newbies actually believes that MC are mercenaries rather than BoB vassals.
Do you really think that BoB is even reimbursing MC for the hundreds of billions of isk in losses it has sustained as a result of this "campaign", much less paying them a profit? Maybe sirmolle is giving seleene a reach-around, but that's the extent of their payment. |

rise too i guess
haha man u need to learn ya facts. 3 assualts MM and RZR pulled on those guys 3 time fought back then advanced and was fought back. they didnt fold. MM and RZR just got more friends than fatal cow and mpire could handle. all 3 alliance i will always speak highly for. why get demorilised and stick aorund and fight a battle u cant win. when u can pull out and go hav fun else were.
dont get me wrong im all about fighting to the death im an honourable fighter. but it would of been like one time a friend of mine got his vulture stuck by 2 MC commandships the minite i heard i went out in my sleip we started to pount the eos then bam he cyno's income 3 MS. i was gonna stay and kill the eos( was chopping him) and being imoblie would of been easy but my vulture mate told me to leave "no point staying and dying to a fight we cant win anyway".
anyway my 2 cents all my personal feeling nothing todo with my corp or alliance.
but im sure MC r having to much fun to worry about there place up north.
epic i no but i hate idiots who read COAD and think thats the way it was
edit: i no way am i speaking badly of MM and RZR here it was smart move. im over my old feeling like my sig says
I would rather fight bob than old friends. personal feelings aside |
