So how did the T20 scandal factor into bobs plan to lose?
Duh..... like... T20, being the good bobbit he was, was persuaded to take one for the team.. in order to kickstart the master plan..... you guys are so slow sometimes...

And just to comment on the OP; The words and the way it has played out may have changed but the content
and plan is the same as when I heard it the first time; BoB planned for epic things inluding scenarios like they are facing now for a long time.
It is possible that BoB had visualised an epic slugfest where they would engage the whole of EVE, and make a heroic stand against unsourmantable odds and inflict possibly mortal wounds on their enemies.
However, I for one am positive that in no shape or form did they envisage Goonswarm as the vocal ringleaders of the whole affair. There is too much doublethink in this whole "we planned it this way" angle, for it to be *real*.
I doubt having GS ram BoB's defeat down their throats is going to be very palatable, thats if BoB are defeated which I don't yet believe is a foregone conclusion, or at least not as simple as many are making out to be.

Well ... interesting thread. It certainly seems that BoB are going to stick with their PR spin and remain adamant that this had been planned all along. "Epic fights are what make BoB, we live for the endgame in EVE and the final ganbang in Delve is that endgame they have been planning for years... yadda yadda yadda...."
Assuming that all this is not just a load of hogwash.. what can RSF and Co. realistically do about it, and I mean about depriving BoB of what they claim to seek?
I can't help but cast my mind back to the Goonswarm STANDING ORDERS: DELVE CAMPAIGN MEGATRHEAD....

Overall Strategy: Slow, grinding misery. BoB want an Alamo and martyrdom with big flashy battles, and instead we're going to block them into Delve and grief them like we've never griefed before. I want goons to dig deep and find ways of being as cruel as possible, to utterly ruin the game experience for any BoB-aligned pilot. The question is not 'is this fun pew pew', the question is 'is what I am doing making our hated enemies suffer on as many levels as possible whenever they log in'.
Can RSF and Co. actually pull this off?... and I mean the actual act of turning the events that transpire in Delve into a completely miserable experience for BoB?
Cause really, to defeat BoB completely you have to rob them of any satisfaction they can gain from the game and rubbish the illusion that losing their final region will be fun.
Will it be fun or won't it?... maybe thats the question and the surefire way of measuring that will be BoB membership as the final act of the war progresses.

I'd like to answer this with a role play.....
That was pretty LOL.... however, without wanting to ruin you're little scenario.... what happens if BoB have amassed sufficient funds and materials to keep fighting for a long long time? Evol for example runs via communism... and im guessing they are pretty loaded. Infact I wouldn't be surprised if BoB membership is in general very well off, able to lose a lot of well fitted ships practically indefinitely..... and if you look at their K:D ratio (which I know you don't give a lot of credence to) they don't lose that many ships compared to those who fight them.
Hmmm.. ISK.. or the lack of it..... nah.. BoB won't run out of ISK any time soon. That won't be the reason for the fun running out.

Can't be asked to look through the myriad of killboards... but just out of curiousity, have they stopped fighting you with fully fitted techII BS's and Capital ships yet?
Gonna answer my own question here.... I looked up a SMASH Raven killed yesterday by BoB..... a good percentage of the BoB pilots were using faction ammo.. and practically all of them were flying techII ships.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that your average BoB pilot hasn't run out of isk yet......

I am saying that *most* BoB members dont suffer for ISK at all. I have more ISK right now than I did when we attacked ASCN and I would think I am one of the poorer BoB members. Another thing to keep in mind is that it is the coalition who constantly harps on the fact that losing insured ships doesnt hurt them (F-T, 9-9, etc). Does that not apply to BoB as well?
Well lets take you as a typical BoB player... albeit one on the lower end of the financial scale... as you have stated.
How much isk do you have in your wallet, or alternatively how much are your total personal assets worth? I believe Destructive Influence is not communist based, unlike Evolution so its a valid question.
It would be interesting if you answered truthfully ofc.. just to quantify the situation.
