Not overly impressed with the vid tbh, too short, too much drama, no substance. However I do wanna quote this ..

Please note that he wasn't talking about your forum actions, which everyone can agree have no effect on the game at all.
Outside of your own mind, of course.

Bob has just done the smart thing and gone quiet, and as many people's memories are shorter than you'd like to think, support will probably swing in their direction in the long run.
Wrong.. history has proven time and time again that silence on the forums is counter productive. I'm not saying that projecting the wrong image isn't damaging, but silence in the long run implies that you are guilty ... of something. When alliance members have to resort to posting with alts to be able to have a voice, then something is bound to go wrong sooner or later.
The prime example of this is Fountain Alliance during their demise versus BoB.
Those old enough to remember will recall that FA used to post exclusively with alts except for a few chosen mouthpieces such as Baun and Tornsoul.. only to be laughed out of town by BoB for doing so.
Alliances that demand a membership forum blackout are having real internal troubles, that may only be visible retroactively with the benefit of hindsight.

Why whatever do you mean. FA never posted with alts ... BoB never forum swarmed FA for 13 months about it.
/me waves his fingers DOOODLEEEDOOOO this never happened.
heh.. good to see you are still knocking around.
Btw, now that I have your attention, here is a question I've been wanting to ask somebody from the old FA for a few weeks now. And please don't take offense to this suggestion its not meant in a derrogatory way. Does it not seem, bizzarely, that BoB is slowly undergoing some kafkaesque transformation into FA markII, but at the tail end of their existance?
Here is some very disputable and highly subjective evidence....
- Very low forum presence, bar a few select BoB, luminaries/mouthpieces.
- Evolution was actually one of the founders of FA back in the day.
- Finfleet taken into BoB as a whole corp. That BoB would take on a corp that wasnt part of the 'old skool' crew was tbh unimaginable. Remeber that DICE were actually ATUK, who had "always been BoB at heart".
- The BoB economic "pet" model is a replica of the colonisation that FA had always wanted to achieve. E.g. the subjugation of CFS in Delve and PB. Additionally the accusations of greed and maltreatment of its tennants were thrown at FA also.
- BoB's last stand, should it happen, would take place in NOL. An old FA stronghold, when that fell it was effectively game over.
- Perhaps we shall see Molle holed up in T-par, hoping against hope that what is happening to his empire is but a bad dream?.. (k thats just poetic licence there.. )
Its a terribly ironic scenario... no?

As an old FA FC | | Old Xanadu Officer and FC | | Old ATUK director | | I have to say shhh Nez
K.. mm.. you have all the right in the world to tell me to stfu, however, your employment history doesn't really help to dispel the basic premise of my post.
Sorry
PS - personally I'd really like to hear Baun's opinion, maybe we will get lucky and he will post.

While I can see why you want to draw that analogy, I don't think it will really hold true. That said, I think other aspects of what happens to BoB will mirror what happened to individual FA entities.
I appreciate you answering the question. Ofc you are right, what I posted is mostly trying to fit BoB's current situation to FA's old situation.
The shoe doesn't really fit.. but I find it amusing to see some strikingly similar parallels, although it mostly amounts to a political mirage.

Originally by: Kyoko Sakoda Hah, you can't even say "nice video" or "nice post" on CAOD anymore without getting attacked. Brilliant.
I don't think thats what peeps were having an issue with. Its more to do with this comment where you suggested that posting this vid was a...
Originally by: Kyoko Sakoda
New standard for CAOD, to be honest.
And tbh anybody without teh memory of a goldfish will remember BoB for setting the standard in forum warfare of a very different kind.
And if we are going to be really geeky/nerdy, we should cast our minds back to the collapse of CA, where they released a similar type of video where they explained away the fact that they were imploding. And that was a much better video...
The old CA guys will remember it for sure.

This isn't getting nearly enough love. I just crapped my pants!
It probably deserves its own thread tbh....it is that funny. But then again I love Benny Hill, so maybe I'm biased.

Originally by: Achaiah Why are people flaming this video? I am no fan of BoB, but an announcement like this should be respected and encouraged.
Wait a minute .. hold your horses.
By and large most peeps like the video. Some people think the video ain't all that (myself included) and then a section of the goons have made a frankly hillarious Benny Hill version of it.
A lot of people are taking the video at face value, and some are bemused by an old dog learning new tricks, namely, humility, thus calling shenanigans on what could very well be a pretty humdrum PR trick.
Horses for courses?... this thread is actually pretty civilised.
