I am an avid reader of these boards and a cowardly alt but this serves my thirst for impartial knowledge and saves me from getting marred with the bias brush.
You 'may' have been lucky enough to read my tongue in cheek assessment of SA's whining about Ore distribution before it got locked so hopefully this thread can be more informative and less trolling on my part.
I would like to know what on earth is going on in CA these days. They used to be pretty hardcore when it first started up and was an reported underdog against the SA/FA/Evol combined attack fleets. It seemed as if CA were gonna be the polar opposite of fluffy alliances like CFS as they were predominantly made up of PVP corps such as Sinister, RUS, ATUK, Shinra (Im sure there were others) and had friendships with m0o. They weathered these early attacks and all seemed good for the future. A good leadership structure was forming and the makings of a strong PVP alliance were apparent for all to see. I beleive rules were put in place about what type of corps could join and active members etc was looked at when applications received ?
Now it seems as if this whole ideal has gone out the window and any Tom, **** or proverbial Harry can get CA Tags ? Also some of the corps being let in clearly have 'history' with one another ......this cannot be a good thing surely when you need to help out 'allies'.
I used to beleive alliances would be strong entities and a natural progression with EVE but this can only work if the alliance is made up of like minded individuals singing from the same song sheet so to speak.
CA had the early makings of strong military alliance but I see more and more corps flying the CA tag who have 3 or 4 members and, forgive my troll like assumptions, (I have my contacts) have never fought a battle in their life.
This influx of carebear corps is ruining the image of a once strong alliance and I hear rumours that the corps fighting daily on the front line are being out voted in council meetings by all these 3 man corps who have been in CA for 5 minutes. How true this rumour is I am not sure but looking at the list of corps now affiliated with CA I can see how this could occur.
I know full well that one of the old skool CA corps, RUS, has bad blood with m3g4 (now called FE) yet they are now allies. Is this a case of settled differences or another example of council voting gone mad ? Also these newer CA corps seem to not honour the alliances history ...for example CA has very bad blood with Evolution yet FE are reportedly (notice I say reportedly) assisting Evol pilots endeavours ?
An alliance needs to realise when it is no longer respecting the wishs of it founding members and taking on corps for pure gluttony purposes. Corps such as Evol and m0o will confirm that quality is more important than quantity. You cannot have your cAkE AND eat it.
The days of the CA spokeperson seem to have gone but could CA confirm where its going long term ? Why not just accept the whole EVE universe into CA (barring SA of course) and have done with it ?
An alliance is only as strong as its weakest member, look how CFS played out ....a nice dream but impratical without military might.
With the influx of Omega (dont get me started on the whole C4 thing because that i dont get for one minute) and FE, CA have increased that military might but at what cost ....for every self sufficient corp in CA there is now 3 corps who are dead weight.

It's pretty easy:
First CA was under constant attacks and needed to defend itself, now they got me to do the defences so i send them home time to time to cuddle the kids, and mine some ark down.
I get paid in tons for that, man they pay me about 1/5th of all the ark they mine so i can fight 24/7 and afford myself a quafe to stay up all the time. __________________________

CA is the only democratic Alliance and we vote on everything. We have our reasons for Minning. we still know how to fight and we still do it well.
And as for the major PvPers being out voted its not happening. Our leadership is just as strong as it was before. and the new corporations addmitted into the alliance have brought their own contributions to the Curse Alliance.
Each and every corporation contributes in its own way.
I am proud to say that the newer corporations are fitting in quit nice. and the ones that have come to fight for CA have learned quit well and are getting better each and every day.
I am also proud to say the we as an alliance stand stronger each and everyday while everyone else seems to reform and re-invent them selfs over and over again! and those that have crumbled just turn pirate.
You all think that you smell blood in the water again? is it our blood? or are we just chumming the water to bait you in?
Remeber what happend around Castor...you all thought we where on the rocks! and look what happend.

Whatever the Curse Alliance says, as they keep claiming more and more land and keep killing more and more enemies, eventually they will run out of both. People become unhappy and the Alliance crumbles.
You can say whatever you want, but history has shown that your theory of "sticking together" will never ever work.

Seriously, you know nothing about us. You think you do, but in the end you dont know jack. Do we really need another persons uneducated opinion?

He doesn't need to. His comments apply to *any* group that gets together primarily for PvP purposes. Once you run out of people to fight, your reason for existence is gone.
