You guys should be able to do an easy 6 bil per month per corp damage to BoB. I think it was a rather large mistake on BoB's part.
Was there any negotiating? or was it like 6 bil or go back to em.pire?
Since it is an old timer like you Boonaki, I'll answer.
The 6bil/month deal was a rental offer for space.
It had nothing to do with being allowed to fight with MC and BoB, or maintaining standings, or anything like that.
It wasn't a demand, "pay up or die", or anything like that, just a simple business offer.
They could have easily made their own alternative arrangements, or accepted MC's offer of a free staging point, but instead they rushed to CAOD and announced their defection, claiming that BoB was demanding 6bil per corp to continue fighting ... almost as if it was a cover story ..
Whilst untrue, this disinformation was warmly accepted by the coalition, because it is what they wanted to hear.
It made good ammunition to use against other "pets", ie: BoB will make you pay or turn on you; and: you can say no to paying rent too!; rather than the more honest message: You too can betray your allies, join the bad guys, lie about your reasons, and then be treated like heroes!
But, whatever.
In all honesty I am happier with STK on the other side, and some people in the m.pire leadership also; but I do feel for a lot of the members of the alliance. It is clear from their posts in this thread that they haven't all been told the same story, and I think they probably deserved better than that.
I know the leaders of that alliance have to do what they think is best for their membership, what's left of it, but I am not sure what they thought was best actually was. Even if switching sides was the only way to survive, I feel that the way they went about it did more harm to them than good.
I hope they survive, and I hope they prosper, and I truely hope they bring it. Unfortunately I am not convinced.
Well it took 45 pages but now its out lol.
Even if this is propeganda there are things that make sense. Mpire went to help MC, and if they offered them free access and staging points from their systems in Delve then why even bother to deal with BoB at all?
