I was explaining to a real life mate the difference between the two main EVE alliances. I said BoB was like the evil empire in Star Wars; big ships, highly efficient and ruthless and very arrogant. I said Goons were like the Reavers in Firefly. Thousands of members, lots of small ships, vulgar, rude and geeks.
My friend asked if there were any "rebels" like in Star Wars who are fighting for freedom in Eve. I said I do not know. Does anyone know a third choice?

There are "freedom fights"
Fateweavers, Ushra'Khan, Electus Matari, Independant Faction alliances.
But most of them are all fighting to free slaves from the amarr.
So in other words, they are evil.

Originally by: The New York Times For at least a year the most powerful group in Eve has been an alliance known as Band of Brothers, a self-appointed evil empire with the stated objective of taking over the galaxy. Against them is arrayed a motley batch of self-styled freedom fighters with names like the Red Alliance (mostly Russian), Tau Ceti Federation (mostly French), GoonSwarm (mostly obnoxious) and the Interstellar Alcohol Conglomerate (mostly drunk).

CVA is no rebel when it comes to extending the hegemony of the Amarr Empire.
However, we are rebels in the sense that we reject the notion that 0.0 alliances must be NBSI. We champion the cause of NRDS. The spacelanes should be open to those who behave themselves.
At least, that's my view as a lowly grunt who is in no way empowered to officially speak on behalf of CVA.

The rebels are the NPC corp alt trolls. Coming by the hundreds, hoping against hope that they'll evade deletion, throwing logic and rules to the wind. They're free in ways that you and I can only imagine.

So, CVA are freedom fighters now? Hm... You're confusing them with Ushra'Khan, by any chance?
In RP terms, CVA fight for the expansion of the oppressive and slave-holding Amarrian Empire (eventually, all over the universe - but for now, they'll content themselves with Providence). That hardly qualifies them as freedom fighters, I'd say.

But yeah, I guess you could call the likes of Ushra'Khan and Star Fraction 'freedom fighters'. However, there are really no good guys in EVE.
There is no 'black and white' I guess you could say really, but what really makes EVE special is that there really isn't any great deal of gray either. Just varying degrees of 'evil'.
Those who tell you they are being benevolent are just putting on a PR show to advance their own agendas. Bleak world, isn't it? _____________________________ Fear is the mind-killer.

I belong to an underground organization called "Freedom Fighters for Pods" but since we are underground, you probably havn't heard of us. Most of us hide in corporations with names that involve death, destruction and evil means to hide our true movement.
Our movement is about freeing the poor little pods that are encapsulated by the evil, horrible, ghastly looking things often known as "ships". These ships keep the poor little pods captive, so we lend a helping hand to those pods, by freeing them of those ships.
So, in a sense, I am a freedom fighter, although, the pods speak a funny language, it seems the only things that ever come out of them is "ransom plz" or "u r getting war decced" the grand old "u r lucky im not in my carrier" and even sometimes "WE%@$^@$^@^@#%$#%@ pirate!"
One of these days, I need to learn that language....I think it's called "caring".
I hope this answers your question.

This pilot captured the true essence of CVA. Being NRDS doesn't make you a "freedom fighter"; especially if your NRDS policy is conditioned on location.
Pirates' freedom is curtailed by those devils in CONCORD; neither do pirates fight for others' freedom.
The Star Fraction is unique in that while we do not purport to fight battles for any one specific group, our fight is ideological in nature: fighting against the oppressive memetics of territorial, imperialist concerns.

Who are the true "freedom fighters" of Eve? Well to answer the question you need to understand what the status quo is and how exactly you go about "fighting it". To clarify, the status quo in 0.0 is to claim, dominate, enclose and restrict space with control towers, sovereignty tools, limited docking at stations and use of military force. In essence CCP provide the tools for people to populate the "sandbox" with barbed-wire, machine gun nests and road blocks, and 99% of all alliances go ahead and use this stuff to elect themselves tyrants on a regional level and dominate through use of military power. They aren't doing anything new or "revolutionary" they're just jumping through the hoops that CCP give them to play at "space empires". This therefore is the status quo and backdrop to the struggle you are looking at.
By this virtue there isn't much difference between the big powers in 0.0. Its mainly a matter of style and personality and background and reputation. BOB and the Goons are separated not by what they do in-game so much as the personality of the players behind the characters. Its more about the external organizations behind the eve-alliances there. They are both a bit like the "evil empires" from star wars in terms of in-game paradigm, its like darth vadar vs the emperor, there is no "rebel alliance" at that scale.
To find a rebel power you have to find an actual rebellion against the status quo. Given that:
Territorial Claiming (Sovereignty spam) NBSI (Not Blue Shoot It) Standings Enclosurism (Adopt our standings or be Red to us)
Are the elements of alliance ideology that are the status quo - it naturally follows that any "rebels" need to oppose these things and offer an alternative to actually have distinct identity and your "third choice".
CVA have been mentioned here as "good guys" in that they don't practise NBSI - but that isn't enough. They do practise standings enclosurism and they can certainly set whoever they wish Red and force their client states and "pets" to set similar Reds due to their military dominance. That is not the action of a "rebel" power, its just the attitude of a would-be second-string tyranical power that has its sights of becoming more powerful as time develops.
To find a true "rebel" power in Eve you need a meaningful rebellion and eschewing of the game mechanics that dominate alliance ideology:
1. Roving "pvp" forces who reject territorialism and don't play POS wars are "rebelling" against CCP "social engineering" through the obvious deployment of huge benefits for territorial entities.
2. Any organization that practices NRDS (Not Red Don't Shoot) is "rebelling" against the conventional wisdom that only NBSI can "defend" and organization's interests in 0.0.
3. Any organization that conducts individual rather than collective negotiation on diplomatic issues is opposing the apparent power of Standings Enclosurism and making a stand for individual sovereignty and independence over herd mentality collective bargaining.
Therefore some organizations might be a bit "rebellious" (against the status quo) by embodying one of the 3 points above:
Outbreak, Pandemic, Evoke, (and "rovign" pvp force that don't play the POS game defensively), Or maybe by practicing actual or apparent NRDS (old ISS, allegedly CVA, maybe some other empire dwellers). Or even actual standings independence (like most pirate corps, who will set individual +10s regardless of group collective bargaining dependent on pure self interest).
But really to be truly rebellious you need to embody all three points above AND be worth a damn in pvp. Quite a challenge, and you are setting yourselves against a huge slice of the development effort that CCP absolutely adore (ie POS warfare and territorial empires) - you are throwing away the "conventional wisdom" that NBSI is the "only way", and you are consciously rejecting the safety of the herd that standings enclosurism brings.
Where do you find such a thing?

Well to be the rebels they would have to
1. Fight to restore the Senate to power. 2. Have blown up at least two Death Stars (with a little help.) 3. Have gotten backstabbed by a few very important people that they had considered friends but come back to rule the galaxy in the end. 4. Have Jedi "Knights" within their ranks. 5. Have sacrificed many Bothans to find the secret enemy plans. 6. Be not nearly as cool as the Empire. (would that be BoB or goons in this case?)
In other words it KOS. KOS are the rebels.

I dunno Graalum, if the pvp with the pretense that theyre this anticolonial, anti-imperial platform, and try to distance themselves from that context, toward genuine freedom/happiness they make a fundamental misstep.
They try to distance themselves from alliance culture by avoiding the usual language of k:d and pos war but in its place they use posthumanism, enclosurism and other rhetoric.
In reality they are no different from the people they purport to offer an alternative to, their strategy is still in revolutionary language, in neologism and a negative utopianism that is as untenable as being a wealthy and fulfilled member of an 0.0 alliance.

There will never be in-game freedom fighters because there will never be in-game oppression to fight against. Residents simply pack up and leave moving to the next soft area of space rather than fight their oppressors. Create barriers to mobility, then you'd see... a lot of people quitting eve lol. You'll never get freedom fighters out of gamers.

How about entities such as the Trade Federation, Commerce Guild, Techno Union, and the Intergalactic Banking Clan? You are forgetting who represents these in the world of EVE. Champions of Capitalism, and seekers of profit, simply wanting to make money without interference from entities like The Galactic Senate. Then betrayed by their appearant ally. One corporation that represents these entities is TTI, and it is the true champion of Capitalism and freedom.

Edited by: Murtala on 10/12/2007 21:52:21 Lets be honest, one side might win the war and I am not liking either side.
While CCP adds more 0.0 space, hi-sec space has remained the same and is getting crowed.
Would be nice if there was a superpower able to keep open a region of 0.0 free to carebears without the NBSI and killmail whorage attitude. I think ISS tried but failed.
Meh, but what do I know? I am only an alt troll and you GBC, Goons and pet/allies are much more smarter than me and have invested a lot more time in game than me.
EDIT: If you want to create a true legacy, create Jita in 0.0 and maintain it.

So both CVA and Unity do stand under the same rebel banner in my view, even if they stand on diffrerent sides of the pole

True there. The JF = space Marxism slur is something which ill-informed people have thrown around for years now. The truth is we're more anarcho-capitalist libertarians (with guns). Each free captain is responsible for their own finances and equipment and we have very little in the way of shared capital or assets. People join SF to fight in a revolutionary movement not to "get rich", but its often the case that good fighters with vision and endurance never seem to find it too difficult to make money either. We're pretty much permanently at war against NBSI territorial/enclosurist entities who have previously committed acts of aggression against our members and represent an opportunity for people to actively pvp 24/7 against people that actually deserve to be shot.

I think that both NRDS entities and non teritorrial pirates in EVE are the rebels fighting for freedom. One of them are on the light side, others on the dark side. BOB, GOONS, and any other NBSI space claiming entities are imperiums each one of them.
I may not know much about CVA and the politics they commence, but it really puzzles me why SF takes on them since they're the only entity in EVE that tries to open 0.0 to all non pirating pilotes.

Who said posting on COAD was about revealing the plain truth?
FYI: The Star Fraction is currently engaged in a campaign to destroy the CVA, which started more than a month ago. This may explain why they try and make the CVA look bad when they talk about them here.

Easy. First of all, they shot us first. How's that for an NRDS alliance? On top of that, they like to make us look like pirates to justify this.
Second, they represent everything we fight against, they actually want to expand the Amarr empire.

Actually the Providence "principle" is don't pirate IN PROVIDENCE apparently. Providence CVA friendly corporations are allowed to pirate OUTSIDE providence and then can come home to providence and count on the rest there defending them against the rightfully-annoyed attempted victims of Providence-resident "piracy". This means that Providence residents happily "pirate" / (attack neutrals) on the Misaba to Mista route and then fly home to pretend they are wholesome NRDS people back in Providence.
All in all this doesn't paint a good picture of what goes on here.

In my opinion its not feasible to hold sov in 0.0 and be NRDS, it's a shame because we try to position ourself as a free trade Anti-pirate alliance and being NBSI is pretty hypocritical in this regard. We do practice NRDS in low sec still...

Sharing Standings and shooting together at Corps/Allys which are KOS is the ONLY way to keep an nrds Area clean.
Otherwise it would be the perfect Area/Paradise for Pirates.
They do not Attack the Residents but can shoot at Neutrals.
You can shoot only back (like SF does) when you have no Space,and when you are not trying to give access to 0.0 to neutrals.
So Star Fracton NRDS "Version" is not compatibel with our Goals to give 0.0 Access to Neutrals.
But we trying to give access to 0.0 for all... and there is no other way then to share the intel/standings about Pirates and ppl which are attacking neutrals.
Cold Steel and Sev3rance do not pirate, thats an absolutly lie. The order is (and was always) only to shoot Pilots which are definitly Hostile/KOS.
Like somebody earlyer said... thats hard enough, you have hostiles and Neutrals in space and you can never be sure ho is realy Neutral/Friendly.
Killing everything you can lock (like Ushra'khan) is Pirating, this has imho nothing with a "freedom fighter" to do.
This thread has startet with a RL Comparison, so: When SF is a "Freedom Fighter/Rebel/Free Captain against NBSI "terror" " then Al QUadia is in RL too, but i am pretty sure they're not. (Atleast when you attacking other NRDS entitys and giving intel to NBSI Allys (which are red to you).
Sorry for my bad english, trying my best :)

freedom...hmmm
Think there are many alliances fighting for freedom...mostly for their own freedom. Away from the roleplay thingy i would say "Foundation" alliance is fighting pretty long and hard for their freedom or like they would say: "The Freedom of GW". I dont know what they exactly mean with that. (Maybe someone can help me out here without the typical phrases.) But i have to say they fight for this area since ages and as many of us thought they are already dead, they came up again and again and again.
As i said i dunno what "fighting for freedom" means in eve for single ppl, for me it means to have a goal and dont be someones slave or pet and if you are that, to get rid of this status. My vote for the "freedom-fighters" (if you would call it so) goes to Foundation. And i fully respect those guys, even if i try to pewpew them everyday . Respect guys.

This post is quite good. My only question is does Suas shoot first or not?
Actually I've got another question... surely you can think of a better Princess Bunhead? James315 is such a bit player in all this... Re-cast this role or I'm not buying the DVD. --

Originally by: Norwood Franskly Our alliance operated NRDS in 0.0 for a while, but too many cowardly alt spies in shuttles and isk farmers ruined it for us by taking advantage of our policies, I don't know how CVA operates and I'm always suprised Providence isn't crawling with farmers and macro ratters.
In my opinion its not feasible to hold sov in 0.0 and be NRDS, it's a shame because we try to position ourself as a free trade Anti-pirate alliance and being NBSI is pretty hypocritical in this regard. We do practice NRDS in low sec still...
Define the difference between a farmer and a ratter.
As for macros, they exist. Good luck wiping them out, they could give roaches pointers about survival. Macro haulers do operate in the Providence area. They knew about it, and acknowledged it as a problem beyond their ability to stop. Lets face it. For all the efforts to remove them from 0.0, not one alliance has ever succeeded in pulling it off. Why waste your game time doing CCP's job?
As for shuttle alt spies, whoopty-doo. Its not like you can catch them very often, either, and its not like a Covops pilot with half a brain couldn't do the job better.

Originally by: Snake Jankins A thread with such a topic would be incomplete without a Star Fraction post. Good to see they are still having the same agenda. Already thought they had given up swimming against the stream tbh. 
Thats the essence of it really Snake! It really is "swimming against the stream". Hence my earlier (long) post explaining how unless an organization is going to try to shake the conditioning imposed by the game mechanics (NBSI) and developer preferred architecture (POS/Sovereignty indirect war) then it can't really be considered in the least bit subversive and revolutionary.
As you probably know we've incorporated this whole thing into our RP ideology in the terms of "memetic tyranny" which put simply means:
Our characters believe that all the capsule pilots (ie players) in the Eve star cluster (game) are being manipulated by a sinister non-human intelligence that has an agenda of ensuring the status quo and keeping the capsuleers busy fighting stupid little territorial wars jumping through hoops of tower deployment and land grabbing that are quite irrelevant to the technological level and possibilities of the setting.
Point is that the moment we become capsule pilots (begin the game) we're becoming a different kind of human being from the (imaginary) people on the planets below and suddenly we have the ability to build or barter for anything we need without needing to pay taxes or surrender our independence and personal will to the bureaucrats in government in the traditional (background) empires.
And yet. Somehow 99% of capsule pilots end up as footsoldiers grinding away in somebody else's territorial war or simply earning a wage and jumping when "the system" tells them to jump. Betraying the possibilities granted them, accepting inherited wisdom, failing to question the status quo and generally behaving like the white lab mice they are while running around from one hunk of test cheese to another. Our Roleplay is that "something" is behind this. Evil memetics, meddling AIs, Jovian infiltrators, even a malicious fallen god-figure perhaps - but this "something" makes the herd act as the herd and ensures that freedoms out there in the eve universe are usually ignored in favor of doing the same old same old.
Example case in point:
Lets look at Cyno Jammers.
Why do they need sovereignty levels to work? The technology is fairly straightforward right? You fire the thing up and no cyno fields can be opened in the system. Its an energy field that makes it impossible to open a cyno beacon system wide. But why does it need Sovereignty to work? And what exactly IS Sovereignty?
Sure sure, you'll say sovereignty is having x number of towers in y number of places and eventually Concord register you have Z sovereignty level. So its just a legalistic thing then? An administrative technicality? Because if thats the case then the Cyno Jammers themselves are just pre-programmed in firmware to only activate when the Concord Registry for the system has certain qualifying status data in it?
Just information? So all these outward 0.0 empires that pride themselves on building space empires are basically just patsies of Concord who's apparent "freedom" of action is dictated by administrative oversight from core empires and Concord super bureaucracy. Jump through Concord's hoops and get a piece of cheese little test-mice.
Where are the true rebels? In eve terms it'd be the people hacking cyno jammer tech and making it work without Sovereignty. People slipping the leash of central authority and oversight and breaking the unseen dominion of whatever powers dictate these things.
Sovereignty is just a way of keeping score. Its numbers in a database. It has no actual power or existence beyond the effects granted it by the surrounding bureaucracy of the "sandbox". But in 0.0 space the sandbox is actually a laboratory maze for all the little mice chasing cheese.
Think about that.

Actually, the "something" wants constant strife throughout the galaxy. The Fraction is unwittingly serving its agenda along with everyone else.
The only way to defeat the "something" is to stay docked and play on the forums instead. It's also less buggy and laggy that way.

In RP terms, CVA fight for the expansion of the oppressive and slave-holding Amarrian Empire (eventually, all over the universe - but for now, they'll content themselves with Providence). That hardly qualifies them as freedom fighters, I'd say. 
This pilot captured the true essence of CVA. Being NRDS doesn't make you a "freedom fighter"; especially if your NRDS policy is conditioned on location.
Pirates' freedom is curtailed by those devils in CONCORD; neither do pirates fight for others' freedom.
The Star Fraction is unique in that while we do not purport to fight battles for any one specific group, our fight is ideological in nature: fighting against the oppressive memetics of territorial, imperialist concerns.

Foundati0n probably fall into this category, they do not operate NBSI and have lived in the Great Wildlands for many years. They tend to be out-numbered but have never been fully driven out. They have a number of good FCs who fight in a guerilla warfare style, maintaining a fairly good efficiency against their main enemies -V- .

Edit: 3rd question... who the hell is O.B.One? (I vote Avon tbh)
Suas shoots first but he's been pursued all accross the galaxy before having to.
I can't see a better role for James than Princess Leia. It's all there, the bitter rebel, the "I'm neutral, guys" in the beginning of the story, and I kinda hope that one day James will kill Lady Scarlet by strangling her in her very big pod.
Reconsider it.

It's not because of some clerk in Concord with a pen, that's just a conventional marker for the infrastructure level of the system.

Rubbish! You're asking me to "imagine" this huge technological infrastructure that simply doesn't exist. If you had to go haul some extra scientists or mechanical parts for each level of Sovereignty and establish some "sovereignty hubs" in the towers you'd have a point. But as it is you don't.

At the moment that is exactly what it is.

BoB as the Terran Empire. Sir Molle as the human Emperor consuming pets to secure his immortality.
FIX would be the Adeptus Mechanus.
MC would be the Adeptus Astartes.

Originally by: Mr Neutron Apologies if anyone got offended, first line was my attempt at goons style humour (which I like).
Think that is the first time I have heard anyone apologise or show concern for other feeling in ages in the COAD . Makes me want to cry in joy. Been so long. 
Ultimately EvE is a game and the BoB vs Goons war seem to have gotten very bitter and dragged many people into it. I am sure many are looking for a third way to enjoy this game as a community.

Hijacking posts? On CAOD? With suspicious logical constructs? I guess I was a little bit off topic for the forum by actually answering the question though. My bad :)

Originally by: Jasmine Constantine Rubbish! You're asking me to "imagine" this huge technological infrastructure that simply doesn't exist. If you had to go haul some extra scientists or mechanical parts for each level of Sovereignty and establish some "sovereignty hubs" in the towers you'd have a point. But as it is you don't.
Sometimes I imagine that if Chest McManbone were a real dude he would blink or open his mouth but armed with the pragmatic role-playing of Jade Constantine I now realize he's just a pair of shoulders and a head that stares quizzically to his left FOR ETERNITY.
P.S. you do bring in mechanical parts in addition to lots of other crap but hey CCP should get on that scientist thing that'd be boss.
REGARDLESS LET'S HAVE AN ARGUMENT ABOUT IN-GAME TECH AND LORE(ugh),
We'll have an imaginary conversation with some NPC dude within the EvE universe who wears a labcoat and knows how control towers work. We'll imagine two responses and only one will make the slightest bit of sense.
Q: What's going on with sovereignty levels?
Response 1: Well it's complex you see. There's constant data acquisition being performed on solar dust and radiation levels and what have you. Eventually we know enough to configure and set up constant cyno jammers without causing something horrible to happen when we bombard the entire solar system with a singal super-powered generator that has enough energy to melt your face from 5 AU. Also we can set up jump bridges and constantly running cyno generators that will be able to warp some of your dudes in without dumping them in black holes or making your ships arrive looking like Jeff Goldblum at the end of The Fly. We're not like you pod-pilot jerks who act like Navigators from Dune or something and can pop short-duration cynos and jump on a whim, I hate you guys for being so rich you have no idea.
Response 2: Every control tower built from every faction has somehow been embedded with software from CONCORD that lets it be monitored and controlled from Yulai. Yes, even the pirate ones that CONCORD is at war with. After a couple weeks they press a button in the home offices and it does more stuff. Oh and CONCORD also controls all your guns to make them useless when you attack Sov level 4 capital structures, never mind if you built your guns. We all know this and play by these rules voluntarily. Especially Goonswarm. Also did you know that in Ultima Online your character's eyes weren't actually in your head but 75 feet above you and to the south east? That was crazy.
(Hint: It's the first one. The first one makes a little bit of sense. Not the second one.)

Hells yeah, BoB is the False Imperium of Man.

Sovereignty exists, to operate as a logical mechanic for a computer game to deal with the abstract concept of capturing and gaining control over a simulated solar system.
Sovereignty operates in the way it does because an Icelandic programmer made it that way.
