With so much slant one way or the other about the war in these last 2 months I've decided to just look at the killboards once a day.
What I notice about the BoB killboard is they hi-lite battleships killed, and every day the ratio is something amazingly extreme such as BoB kills 50 battleships for losing about 5-10 BS.
So, my question is this: is this really true that day after day BoB kills 5-10 times more bs than their enemies?
Also when BoB lost so many regions, were there battles that crushed them with huge losses or did they just pull back and abandon territory without losing mass amounts of ships?
I know this COAD forum has degenerated pretty low this last 2 months, and I'm not trying to bring this lower. This is not a propaganda thread but a search for information and comments on the current war.

I dont think BoB has received massive losses in any battless in the war so far. I might not be right since I haven't paid too much attention to it.. but in most of the fights BoB has killed more than it has lost..

THIS IS A GREAT THREAD GUYS
BoB win fleet battles because they wont engage unless they will win, which is fair enough.
BoB also have very professional fleets and FCs
K/D ratio is what wins eve btw

I have flown with BOB in the south and I remember engaging enemy fleets far bigger than ours.. You can go browse the BoB killboard for fleet fights and you can see that even with equal numbers they win 90% of the time. And yeah, EVE is not won by winning fleet battles but by POS warfare. Time will tell what will happen in delve.

In answer to the posted topic, yes, the BS kill/deaths posted on the bob killboard are accurate but obviously dont take into account any Bob allies killed in any battles.

With most of Eve against BOB they are still "blobbing" you.
Coalition get rid of your farmers, forum *****s and afkers clearly the coalition has many many thousands of very useless pilots.
Certainly the coalition has not the pvp skills or tactical ability of BOB, but I really imagined they were capable of outblobbing BOB, seems they cannot even do that. -

One thing that we northerns are aware of is that bob use far too many gallente ships. This means that when we amarr pilots attack them, we need to outnumber bob at least 3-1 to have any chance of victory.
Though bob does fight seriously outnumbered, I will be honest in saying that most coalation alliances run or log unless they outnumber bob 2-1, leading to a perception that bob squashed a fly. we all need to work together because, lets face it, none of us want to risk out capitals to seige delve, because bob are the best capital killers ingame. And none of us trust our fleets as they usually are poorly outfitted with ratting setups.
I think the problem is too many of us vs bob. So we all take a cheaper ship as we assume that we ill be loosing it.

Edited by: torN Deception on 12/01/2008 11:52:08 BoB's got a hard-on for k/d and they measure that by battlships, which is perhaps why BoB almost never flies battleships. They fly(and lose) far more expensive HACs and command ships so they can jerk off to their great BS k/d ratio.
As as people have mentioned, BoB will go log off or hide in a POS if they can't get a fight in their favor. While goons will happily throw away entire fleets in situations where the exact same thing has happened a dozen times before. |

Hmm. If bob never flys battleships, then why cant our battleships massacre their fleet?
I am being honest here. But I have noticed that bob keeps battleships alive as they fly around in navy megas, fleet temptests and nightmares, which I think are supertank traps to soak up enemy fire, while the rest of their pilots attack freely. I think we take too much ineffective ships such as Amarr pilots to fight bob, and we just cannot compete with them on a equal number basis.

This seems like a reasonable question, so i will give you a reasonable answer.
first, yes the bob killboard is extremely accurate, but in any bob fleet around 10-15% is made up from friendly alliances/corps, you can get an indication of this fro looking at fleet compositions in the fleet battles feature on the bob killboard.
BoB have lost many regions [Fountain, Omist, Feyth, Eso, Querious (most of), Period Basis (most of), Tenerifis (a station or two)], most of those reasons were the logisitcs to fight on multiple fronts over so many regions were to great adnw e couldnt keep up with them, they spread our fleet thin and we did have the numbers or the firepower to take the fight to the hostile forces. BoB then withdrew back to its main stonghold. Then at least 10 alliances from the north took fountain pretty much without a fight (until Y-2 which is still being contested), a few factors decided this, mainly logistics and i will not go into the rest on a public forum. MC then turned on the agreement they had with BoB and decided to take period basis for themselves (fighting is still continuing in TPAR). ragoons, IAC, AAA (insert at least 10 other alliances in here) then took most of querious, again mostly unchallenged (a few big fights in FAT ans 25s), in the end they were surrended without a concluding battle.
that is the vague history, currently BoB have been holding quite well and getting massive battles everyday. There has been a lot of lag, it is easy to blame lag for a loss, and over the last few weeks bob really hasnt lost a major battle so you will hear some of the coalition blaming fleet loses on lag, but we both have to fight in lag, sure the advantage is for the defender, but the numbers most times are at least 2:1 in favour of the coalition, and as Terra showed up north yesterday the attacking force should be able to easily outgun a defending force when the attacking force has 2:1 numbers. So tactics, logistics and skill plays a big part in fleet battles.
i have ranted on for way too long.
hope i answered your question though

Edited by: sakana on 12/01/2008 12:14:06 Its highly possible after a fleet battle like the BoB vs smashkill and co fight the other day, that bob did get amazing bs stats.
Another possibility is that bob use the API key to auto post losses, which everyone knows is bugged to ****.
Another possibility is that, according to BoB rules, you must post your loss within 24hrs, so perhaps people wait til that 24hrs is almost up before they post their loss, so that the losses only show up for a few minutes before the new day begins.
I can't say if any of these are true, but their all possible/plausible.

yeah but the OP was refereing to battles over 24 hours ago. I dont think bob's KB is wrong, i think it is because we use too many ineffective ships. I mean, I saw 10+ carriers on screenshots and no way are you going to kill many bs's with carriers repping them. We should have brought out our dreads to grank the carriers but then we would have lost dreads so I guess it does not matter much. its fine loosing dreads as long as it is some other alliances's dread, so we just let someone else risk their stuff.
Bob just have too many Gallente players currently and there is no way us Amarr are going to be able to compete with them

From my experience the BoB kb is one of the more reliable boards out there (but def. not perfect). The k/d bs ratio is pretty accurate as far as I can tell.
BoB def have some of the best pvp abilities in game for a larger less specialised organisation (like Outbreak etc...). I have nothing but respect for that skill.
Having said that, their Diplomacy stinks and this is what has backfired on them (as well as past arrogance). One of my alts have seen first hand their diplo bully tactics and they worked quite well, but people build up grievances and now for many it has become pay back time.
Basicaly what I am saying, is yes BoB great at pvp, but at the moment they are not great at Eve.
I just know gonna get flamed by both sides on this on  |

Originally by: Jonny JoJo Though bob does fight seriously outnumbered, I will be honest in saying that most coalation alliances run or log unless they outnumber bob 2-1
In reality, for most of our enemies we've found that the magic number is 3-1. MC might engage at 2-1 and the northerners too, and there's been an instance of TCF engaging at 1-1 a couple of days ago. Respect to TCF for that btw., you didn't take 2 hours to decide to jump in as most others do. Lag was absolutely horrendous for all involved, with 5-10 minute module lag for me. Slo-mo fight.... I read a quarter of a book while it was on 
Most of our hostiles however seem to think that 'PvP' means 'Player vs. POS when BoB is busy 20 jumps away' 
I'm also amazed at the cryalition sense of logic and math (or lack thereof).... We've got most of 0.0 attacking us, and still we are the ones blobbing??? Really, get your school money back...
To the OP. Our glorious leader has already given you the reason the KB look as it does

Bobs killboard is generally accurate, but you have to remember allied losses are not included. We never make up more than about 10-20% of BoB fleets though so it would rarely add significantly to the losses in a fleet fight. There are of course exceptions to this, for example on the boxing day assault frig op i personally lost 5 ships over 2 character . To the goon saying BoB never fly bs just lol.

Also when BoB lost so many regions, were there battles that crushed them with huge losses or did they just pull back and abandon territory without losing mass amounts of ships?
I know this COAD forum has degenerated pretty low this last 2 months, and I'm not trying to bring this lower. This is not a propaganda thread but a search for information and comments on the current war.
Most of BoB's large fights in the last week have been turkey shoots with people thinking they have the edge, jumping into them, and then dieing because nobody can load. The only reasonably safe way to enter a lagged system is through a jump bridge at an armed POS, but nearly all of the systems that BoB are fighting in are jammed, so there's not much choice if BoB manages to rep the jammer and form up before your fleet enters the system. Other alliances like TCF, IAC, and GS never really have a choice since we don't own titans. Many of their systems also have jump bridge arrays that work in jammed systems so if those aren't knocked out they don't even need to take their jammer down at any point to enter the system safely with any ship, including titans.
The 2 or 3 times BoB was willing to jump into us in 9-9 once we had the jammer up the results were mostly the same. I can't think of any other systems that BoB fought a POS war in that had the jammer on our side. 25S and FAT were jammed but Goonswarm wasn't really involved there when BoB took it so I don't know much about it, aside from the jammer frequently being offlined for god knows whatever reason. It certainly doesn't look like it was a turkey shoot for them though.
Even the fight tonight against MC where it looks like BoB wiped the floor with them was at an armed POS since MC needed the jammer down.
So not counting doomsdays, I'd attribute 95% of the fights where they get absurd ratios to lag and defensive advantages CCP put in with the titan nerf. If you get them in a fight where two fleets with the same types of ships both have the grid loaded then their ships die just as easily as anyone else's, but BoB avoids these types of fights like the plague and cyno jammers make it easy to do so.
As for significant losses when they pulled back, just about every time BoB pulled out of a region it was after a pretty significant defeat. After 9-9 they gave up in Tenerifis, after 66- they pulled everything out of Omist. We killed over 70 large armed POS of theirs between those two systems, they didn't exactly sit by the entire time, we traded a lot of fleets and capitals. In 2-R after BoB failed to kill any GS towers and lost 10 capitals trying to re-reinforce them the next day, they gave up trying to defend K-9/2-R and went back to 25S/FAT. When the last RISE towers were exiting reinforced in 5P-, BoB was unwilling to jump into the GS, TCF, and UNL fleets and ended up pulling out of the rest of ASCN space without a significant fight. V2-, 5-N, and most of fountain they let go to wave their **** in front of MC. In FAT they pulled out after the cyno jammer POS went down, and in 25S they pulled out after we killed something like 8 carriers and a fleet trying to save the jammer POS for few losses.

BoB are very, very good at fleet battles, this is due to a number of factors including:
- they mostly bring the right kind of ships (tons of tempests etc), with the right fittings which when you are fighting a more mixed opponent makes a huge difference. Mix this up with very fast dictors and good fcs and its already putting you miles ahead of the pack.
- whenever they are fighting a large alliance enemy then you can be pretty sure they will have spies both in gang and on your TS so that its almost impossible to take them by surprise.
- they are very disciplined which makes an enormous difference in lagfests, they know not to spam buttons and to ride out the worst of it.
- a lot of the people they fight are pretty mediocre pvpers, and if you are in a good, well drilled fleet you can absolutely wipe out a similar sized fleet of nubs.
If I saw a BS ratio of 20:1 on their KB it would not surprise me very much.
This all makes it kind of funny the people that have jumped to join bob claiming they want epic fights, when the most epic fights are fighting against them

Yeah, it is amazing how great that works in a lagged up system. No, really.
The fact is, you *thnking* we have spies on your TS is enough to give us the advantage.

If you would come within 20 jumps to defend your POS then we could get some PVP. Instead you only show up to defend towers from 18:00-23:00eve, and even then it's just in sov 3 systems where you have multiple titans and dozens of carriers under a cyno jammer.

To keep this reasonable post reasonable it was Razor who did a lot of the heavy lifting in Querious. Just looking at who has the stations should tell you this. Though maybe you meant Catch.
rzr was fighting in q for at leeast 3 months and alone hehe they stay docked in badi, when they got support from rest of alliances "they" could do anything
back to topic ill tell you why bob is so good, cause they are damn good and your not ! and you are whinning here instead of fighting
and every fielding 50 noobships is blobing, every1 have freakin spies, every1 is pos crapping, every1 have lag, every1 have caps, every1 can cry, but only you whine here doing **** in game plz

Bob just knows when to chose its fights - can't blame them for that.
Be first in system often means having the less lag rather than the one jumping.
That's why, and i understand why, the bob fleet didn't want to jump on us few days ago because our grids would have loaded at 50% and theirs at 5% giving them close to no chance to winning or even surviving.
It's all common sense, nothing about lolerskates spies telling wich targets will be called first...

From experience, BoB die just like everyone else in fights where odds are matched.
They just have the pleasure at the moment of choosing the fights they want and thus choose the ones they will win thanks to earlier deployment to field or Sov3 protection. You can't blame them for that, and I am absolutely sure they are enjoying every minute of it. I wouldn't want to pick fights that are stacked against me either, when you're assured to have 1-2 fights per night that are in my favour.
Metagaming is a non-argument imo. We have spies on BoB TS on their ops, just like they do on ours.
They are pretty slow to post losses thou, that's not their fault thou -- I put that down to the API key. IIRC they post kills automatically, but losses need to be done per-player... and people are lazy. So whenever I look at battles we've been involved in -- I smile to the highly inaccurate k/d ratio few hours after and take pleasure of nagging Coranor on the Irish channel when someone forgets to post their loss for 24h .
But, at least from my perspective I can gladly say I am also having the time of my eve-life fighting BoB, the very small part we play in it.

I think you are right. We wont win until CPP fix the problems associated with Fleet battles, which we have all faced.
I mean, CCP really need to get their act together so we can have good fights, rather than the mediocre experience we have just now. I have heard that CCP will be fixing this in the near future, but they dont communicate with us on this important issue.I mean, how long does it take for CCP to work out that the biggist problem with fleet fights is that damm Cyno Jammer
I mena, how the hell can we have sensible fleet fights when you cannot takeover a station so Amarr pilots can buy 800 cap charges so they can sustain more than 1 gun? As it stands, without a station to dock at every 3 minutes, Amarr always being the turky shoot. There is no way in hell we Amarr are ever going to win battles against maxout Gallente. We all just like Amarr Pesents with pichforks attacking bob's Gallente maxout SP players. Fix it ASAP CCP!

To respond to the OP, reasons I found Bobs killboard to be inaccurate (and it's been a long time since I was in the south) were.
1 Bob do not always post their losses
2 When they do post their losses they are often slow about it so they do not appear on any daily K/D ratio
3 Bob killboard does not show allied deaths but shows all kills a Bob member was involved in even if he was just 1 member in a fleet battle
4 Bob killboard shows Battelship K/D ratios yet Bob fly a lot of tech II cruisers.
Non of the above are unique to Bob and help to explain many great looking stats around the various allaince/merc killboards.
Slowly some killboards have attempted to address this with points sytems and isk values, but until there is a universal killboard then we can enjoy the speculation we have about who has the biggest best and most impressive K/D ratio and if CAOD wasn't arguing about K/D then it would soon find something else to whine about.
Were Bob have been out ahead of other allainces in the past is in the K/D ratio chest beating, but even that has died down to more normal levels in the last 6-12 months now they are taking a beating.

I was under the impression that the bob kb was mostly fed by API these days, but it seems like it only takes kills from the api, losses have to be fed manually. But I'm sure that's purely a coincidence.

Glad to see the bitterness doesn't fade with time CptStabwash
It's well known that all BoB pilots post their lossmails, and on the rare occasion that any do get missed, they are more than welcome to be sent to any BoB CEO or Director and said pilot gets a spanking. 
The problem with allied mails is unavoidable, short of giving every single pilot that's ever been on a KM aside a BoB pilot access to our killboard...
I'd like to see another alliances killboard more accurate than ours. ---

Originally by: Scavok
Most of BoB's large fights in the last week have been turkey shoots with people thinking they have the edge, jumping into them, and then dieing because nobody can load. The only reasonably safe way to enter a lagged system is through a jump bridge at an armed POS, but nearly all of the systems that BoB are fighting in are jammed, so there's not much choice if BoB manages to rep the jammer and form up before your fleet enters the system. Other alliances like TCF, IAC, and GS never really have a choice since we don't own titans. Many of their systems also have jump bridge arrays that work in jammed systems so if those aren't knocked out they don't even need to take their jammer down at any point to enter the system safely with any ship, including titans, so you can't always sneak a capital fleet in system when BoB brings theirs.
The 2 or 3 times BoB was willing to jump into us in 9-9 once we had the jammer up the results were mostly the same. I can't think of any other systems that BoB fought a POS war in that had the jammer on our side. 25S and FAT were jammed but Goonswarm wasn't really involved there when BoB took it so I don't know much about it, aside from the jammer frequently being offlined for god knows whatever reason. It certainly doesn't look like it was a turkey shoot for them though.
Even the fight tonight against MC where it looks like BoB wiped the floor with them was at an armed POS since MC needed the jammer down.
So not counting doomsdays, I'd attribute 95% of the fights where they get absurd ratios to lag and defensive advantages CCP put in with the titan nerf. If you get them in a fight where two fleets with the same types of ships both have the grid loaded then their ships die just as easily as anyone else's, but BoB avoids these types of fights like the plague and cyno jammers make it easy to do so.
As for significant losses when they pulled back, just about every time BoB pulled out of a region it was after a pretty significant defeat. After 9-9 they gave up in Tenerifis, after 66- they pulled everything out of Omist. We killed over 70 large armed POS of theirs between those two systems, they didn't exactly sit by the entire time, we traded a lot of fleets and capitals. In 2-R after BoB failed to kill any GS towers and lost 10 capitals trying to re-reinforce them the next day, they gave up trying to defend K-9/2-R and went back to 25S/FAT. When the last RISE towers were exiting reinforced in 5P-, BoB was unwilling to jump into the GS, TCF, and UNL fleets and ended up pulling out of the rest of ASCN space without a significant fight. V2-, 5-N, and most of fountain they let go to wave their **** in front of MC. In FAT they pulled out after the cyno jammer POS went down, and in 25S they pulled out after we killed something like 8 carriers and a fleet trying to save the jammer POS for few losses.
Lol at the goon trying to big up there coalition of bandwagoners when tbh there fleet fight capability vs bob just sucks.
And lol at Goons blaming it on lag when a week ago goons were flaming Tri for blaiming there losses on lag.
And now there the ones going "omg turkey shot" and "lag benefits the defender" etc.

Ridiculous. Go back a week or two and look at the daily battleship ratios. Roughly the same as they are today. Get real.
Quote: 3 Bob killboard does not show allied deaths but shows all kills a Bob member was involved in even if he was just 1 member in a fleet battle
Unlike most other alliances involved in this conflict, BoB fleets are ~90% BoB. So while the effect you describe does effect every alliance, it effects BoB to a lesser degree. The coalition loves to point out that BoB has no allies left, and yet doesn't apply this to kb stats. Cute.
Quote: 4 Bob killboard shows Battelship K/D ratios yet Bob fly a lot of tech II cruisers.
Wrong again. Please head to BoB killboard, look at the fleet battle statistics, and note the overwhelming numbers of battleships in those fleets. Hell, your forum spies should note, as mine have, that BoB is being ordered to NOT fly tech II cruisers.
Quote: Were Bob have been out ahead of other allainces in the past is in the K/D ratio chest beating, but even that has died down to more normal levels in the last 6-12 months now they are taking a beating.

Please stop making us coalation look stupid. Our own killboards prove most of what you say as rubbish, and I would like to add that you speak alone.
The only reason why Bob are winning is because they are a bunch of Maxout Gallente players which rip our Amarr pilots to shreads. CCP will be fixing this game imbalance eventually, so until then, I expect more turky shoots.

You dont need to sign up if I remember correctly, but what you could do is remove the several titan kills and losses form goon killboard as it makes us look stupid complaining about missing lossmails. The killboard is not the reason why we are getting our asses kicked, its the broken game mechanics when sheer numbers of amarr fight gallente - the amarr get turky shot off.

We like PVP, pure and simple, and we have been in wars for a LONG time (it's really what we do). Just look at the fleet battles section to get an idea of what really occurs (rather then listening to CAOD).
Originally by: Endeva in eve
blob > skills
This tbh. CCP seems to be bent on making every ship the same. A good solo ship becomes available, a couple of forum whines begin, a CCP nerf ensues. Now it's bringing more ships to the fight that insures victory over better setups, tactics and skills (which include SP). And so we are stuck with grids that dont load, waiting 20 minutes for a module to activate, being shot by "invisible" people etc. that we are stuck with.
Gankageddons, blasterthrons, superfast crows, long range sniping in fleet etc. etc. are things of the past. Long gone are the days of "wave of mutilation" videos by farjung, or -A- warping @ 200+ KM and obliterating an ASCN fleet 5 times their size at range because the newer players in ASCN at that time (I was one of them) didn't have the necessary skills to fight fleet battles at that range or calibar (You can watch the E3 conflict video to see this). Watching BS fleets warp in at range, snipe, warp out, reset up for another strike etc are gone. Now have hundreds of ships jump in and warp 100km from each other and press f1-f6(f8) and get the "waiting for module to activate" message over and over again.
Eve is simply a "bring more ships to the fight" game anymore

Previously regardless of what Allaince leadership thought or desired Bob pilots were not posting many loss mails,(not all not even a majority but a significant proportion) it is yet another example of Bob arrogance that you expect pilots to be bothered to send killmails to your leaders to correct your KB, frankly most pilots just don't care enough about Bob stats.
Originally by: Angelus X The problem with allied mails is unavoidable, short of giving every single pilot that's ever been on a KM aside a BoB pilot access to our killboard...
We agree it is a problem and not one in my opinion worth the effort of sorting it out.
Originally by: Angelus X I'd like to see another alliances killboard more accurate than ours.
And to think I had thought Bob had learnt to supress it's arrogance

1 My post very specifically mentioned it was a long time since i was fighting Bob in the south certainly pre API killboards. I am under the impression however that API has problems with losses and they may not get posted.
2 Does the Bob killboard hold logs on when posts are made? if so I think it would be interesting to see how many get posted on a different day to their timestamp.
3 I am not part of the coalition, I don't speculate how many allies Bob has remaining. even according to your off the top of your head figure of 90% then allies account for roughly a 10% killboard inaccuracy. Significant enough for me to mention when responding to the OP as a factor in the killnoard stats.
4 It is entirely possible Bob have changed their fleet makeup since I fought them. I do not have the benefit of forum spies or Database knowledge/access enough to examine the killboard. A quick look at the the KB does suggest that Bob lose a lot more Tech II cruisers than they do battleships.

Ok goonalt . The question was around the KILLBOARD and FLEETBATTLES, not how many regions has bob taken or lost. post with your goon main, and we all know your saying. It's not K/D ratios, but about the end objective. Don't work so hard to push your propaganda.

Most of BoB's large fights in the last week have been turkey shoots with people thinking they have the edge, jumping into them, and then dieing because nobody can load. The only reasonably safe way to enter a lagged system is through a jump bridge at an armed POS, but nearly all of the systems that BoB are fighting in are jammed, so there's not much choice if BoB manages to rep the jammer and form up before your fleet enters the system. Other alliances like TCF, IAC, and GS never really have a choice since we don't own titans. Many of their systems also have jump bridge arrays that work in jammed systems so if those aren't knocked out they don't even need to take their jammer down at any point to enter the system safely with any ship, including titans, so you can't always sneak a capital fleet in system when BoB brings theirs.
The 2 or 3 times BoB was willing to jump into us in 9-9 once we had the jammer up the results were mostly the same. I can't think of any other systems that BoB fought a POS war in that had the jammer on our side. 25S and FAT were jammed but Goonswarm wasn't really involved there when BoB took it so I don't know much about it, aside from the jammer frequently being offlined for god knows whatever reason. It certainly doesn't look like it was a turkey shoot for them though.
Even the fight tonight against MC where it looks like BoB wiped the floor with them was at an armed POS since MC needed the jammer down.
So not counting doomsdays, I'd attribute 95% of the fights where they get absurd ratios to lag and defensive advantages CCP put in with the titan nerf. If you get them in a fight where two fleets with the same types of ships both have the grid loaded then their ships die just as easily as anyone else's, but BoB avoids these types of fights like the plague and cyno jammers make it easy to do so.
As for significant losses when they pulled back, just about every time BoB pulled out of a region it was after a pretty significant defeat. After 9-9 they gave up in Tenerifis, after 66- they pulled everything out of Omist. We killed over 70 large armed POS of theirs between those two systems, they didn't exactly sit by the entire time, we traded a lot of fleets and capitals. In 2-R after BoB failed to kill any GS towers and lost 10 capitals trying to re-reinforce them the next day, they gave up trying to defend K-9/2-R and went back to 25S/FAT. When the last RISE towers were exiting reinforced in 5P-, BoB was unwilling to jump into the GS, TCF, and UNL fleets and ended up pulling out of the rest of ASCN space without a significant fight. V2-, 5-N, and most of fountain they let go to wave their **** in front of MC. In FAT they pulled out after the cyno jammer POS went down, and in 25S they pulled out after we killed something like 8 carriers and a fleet trying to save the jammer POS for few losses.

BoB does not always post their losses, but they are way better at it than most. The GF killboard is leekspinned at the moment so I can't link comparisons but mostly it's new BoB members with dumb fittings that don't post. I'm sure there's mistakes and forgetfulness as well, but I don't care because I play Eve Online not killboard.com.

Edited by: Cvuos on 12/01/2008 16:31:47 Also there's a lot of conspiracy theories about BoB in fleet battles, what they do best is the most important thing in Eve combat: don't jump into lag.
I've been on a gate that BoB jumped into and got eradicated, I've jumped into a BoB gate and been eradicated myself. It's real simple. But sometimes you have to do it...

I agree, you should listen to this advice. Because as it stands you making false accusations around bob intentionally not posting loss mails makes you look quite stupid. No killboard is 100%, but for years Bob's has been considered the most accurate.
So to make it easy I'll go back to my original statement. When you say Bob doesnt post lossmails, I say, proof or STFU. It's really that easy, leaves all the propaganda out of it. 
Or keep posting your anti-bob bias when the thread is about fleet battle stats, not conspiracys or lost regions. But it's CAOD, so I am quite sure you will continue to post.

the pure truth is, that BOB pretty much owns the rest of eve day by day as the killboard shows. Their K/D ratio shows there omipotence imho. They even went so far to throw whole regions at the enemy e.g.: "Bob throws Catch at the Coalition wrecking for 500 Battleship losses" its pretty amazing imhoqtfbbq. The regions are lost now tho ...

1 Bob do not always post their losses
2 When they do post their losses they are often slow about it so they do not appear on any daily K/D ratio
3 Bob killboard does not show allied deaths but shows all kills a Bob member was involved in even if he was just 1 member in a fleet battle
4 Bob killboard shows Battelship K/D ratios yet Bob fly a lot of tech II cruisers.
1) We have an open policy of posting all kill and loss mails. If anyone does find that a lossmail is missing from the bob killboard after about 24 hours, please evemail that person's CEO with the details.
2) The bob killboard has statistics for fleet battles (via the fleet battles link) and daily totals (linked via the date), as well as for individuals. These go back to the start of eve, so you can see the kill/loss ratios back to 2004. If you look at historical statistics, you will see that the present day's statistics are representative of the statistics from past days, months and years.
Also if you watch closely, you will see that most mails are posted within a few hours, and pretty much all within 24 hours.
3) Yes that is a problem, but as others have said, allies rarely make up more than 10% of our fleets. This can be verified this via the fleet battle feature where, all combatants involved in kills are listed, including allies (even if allied losses are not given).
This extra 5-10% of allies hardly make a significant dent in our kill to loss ratios.
You may also notice from the fleet battle feature that bob pilots regularly engage larger fleets and win.
4) The daily, fleet battle and individual kill/loss statistics are broken down by ship type (i.e. frigates, interceptors, HACs etc.) If you go back through a the fleet battles, you will see that bob do not use unusually massive numbers of HACs.
As for the BS ratio, which is the only one given on the main page. No single statistic will ever be representative. If you want to understand things better you need to look at the detailed statistics, which are easily accesable.
What the number of BS kills is a very good guide to, however, is fleet activity. On a slow day maybe there might be less than 10 BS killed and lost. When big fleet battles occur there will be hundreds.

Originally by: Cpt Pugwash To respond to the OP, reasons I found Bobs killboard to be inaccurate (and it's been a long time since I was in the south) were.
1 Bob do not always post their losses
2 When they do post their losses they are often slow about it so they do not appear on any daily K/D ratio
3 Bob killboard does not show allied deaths but shows all kills a Bob member was involved in even if he was just 1 member in a fleet battle
4 Bob killboard shows Battelship K/D ratios yet Bob fly a lot of tech II cruisers.
Non of the above are unique to Bob and help to explain many great looking stats around the various allaince/merc killboards.
Slowly some killboards have attempted to address this with points sytems and isk values, but until there is a universal killboard then we can enjoy the speculation we have about who has the biggest best and most impressive K/D ratio and if CAOD wasn't arguing about K/D then it would soon find something else to whine about.
Were Bob have been out ahead of other allainces in the past is in the K/D ratio chest beating, but even that has died down to more normal levels in the last 6-12 months now they are taking a beating.
1. BoBs killboard is as accurate as that of any alliance in the coallition, if not moreso. 2. BoB post losses quicker than most coallition alliances do (when BoB killboard didnt let us pull mails our pilots were involved in, we had to go pull them from the losers kb and, surprise surprise, they often weren't there) It does take up to an hour to update, but this is also true for kills. 3. This point is true, but as is often pointed out, BoB doesnt have many allies left. Also the same could be said of almost any other alliance, and to a greater degree. 4. lol, what?. BoB fleets are mostly made up of battleships, roaming gangs contain more HAC's etc, just like every other alliance. The bs k/d ratio is used because it is the surest way to tell how well an allianceis doing in the big fights. Anyone wanting to know the k/d ratios for any other types of ships just needs to click on the date in question.

Now don't feel compelled to reply because I most likely won't read it, but I do find it very odd that you're telling the coalition off about flying noob ships against bob when thats the only ship you've flown. I see you posting a lot here, so take my advice, cut down on posting, it doesn't give you a good image, and whether or not people like it, everything you say represents your corp and alliance.

They fly(and lose) far more expensive HACs and command ships so they can jerk off to their great BS k/d ratio.
As as people have mentioned, BoB will go log off or hide in a POS if they can't get a fight in their favor. While goons will happily throw away entire fleets in situations where the exact same thing has happened a dozen times before.

I have more of a death to kill ratio. Am I doing this right?
For the OP : Yes the BS ratio is normally a good one, but as others have said that does not take into account any allied losses.
Yes we normally kill more than we die. Good FC's and competent pvp'ers are a good combination.
As far as the regions go, thats not my thing. I'm just here to shoot red things.

BoB have lost heavily against fewer numbers in the past. Unfortunately they've owned CAOD for the last 3 years (excluding the last 4-5months) so any losses were quickly buried under a pile of posts and insults ("you're insignificant" etc) by their own memberbase and the legion of adoring fans they had at the time. Having said they rarely lost capital ships, whether or not thats still the case I don't know.
They're still pound for pound the best pvp alliance in the game but they're not infallible and never have been. If you read these forums too much a year or two back I wouldn't blame you for believing it though. They twisted everyone on these forums around their little fingers with masterfully timed propaganda.

Think ccp handels lag wrong,what happens is your ship jumps in and forget the pilot. Ship got blowup.Pilot is still sitting at the gate to jumpin. Better is pilot jumping in loads grid,only then you get your ship.Think the program needs to look where the pilot is ,when thats o.k you get your ship.

The first alliance accused of blobbing was probably the Curse Alliance. Not BoB. I know this because I distinctly remember people complaining about it.
I've heard this line about "BoB inventing blobbing" from like 20 Goons. Just like the "losing space" and "no allies" lines. You guys are like Goth kids, you think you are so witty and different but you are all the same. I think you guys have a special list on your forums that contains up-to-date one liners you can all troll BoB threads with.

From what ive seen most players in eve do not have their PC's set correctly and have no idea how to actualy fly their ships maybe BOB do cos a spy on TS does not mean **** if your screen is frozen.

Is that's why you have not executed your invasion of Delve yet? Because it's too easy to take over non-contested spaces while BoB hides in their Poses or are logged off? What happened to the train having no breaks? It should be easy to dine in NOL if all BoB ever does is hides in POS and loges off. No? It just shows you how dumb people take to propaganda.

So far in this thread we....

Unfortunately they've owned CAOD for the last 3 years (excluding the last 4-5months) so any losses were quickly buried under a pile of posts and insults ("you're insignificant" etc) by their own memberbase and the legion of adoring fans they had at the time. Having said they rarely lost capital ships, whether or not thats still the case I don't know.
They're still pound for pound the best pvp alliance in the game but they're not infallible and never have been. If you read these forums too much a year or two back I wouldn't blame you for believing it though. They twisted everyone on these forums around their little fingers with masterfully timed propaganda.
You mean than once you clean out the final dungon of bob space, there is not boss fight with Sephiroth?

A secret to Bob's success is that they never jump into a gate camp without some trickery. If no trickery exists, they will sit on a gate camp for many hours and then leave to go ride bikes. That way, when the enemy has ADD they will eventually jump into BoB, get desynched, never load grid, etc and give BoB completely awesome K/D ratios.
BoB will not go into a situation where they have to load a grid where the enemy is already present unless they have overwhelming forces, such as supercapitals, or they outnumber the enemy.

Originally by: ardik I was under the impression that the bob kb was mostly fed by API these days, but it seems like it only takes kills from the api, losses have to be fed manually. But I'm sure that's purely a coincidence.
No thats not coincidence, we did sit at the office some days before Trin was dropped to TQ and i did say like in joke to the guys : " strakar, hvernig vµri n· a= fß flott KB einu sinni" (translate from Icelandic " Dudes, how would it be to get nice KB once".
Well we thought if we should and then we thought it could be nice for us not to look as noobs (or bobs) all days so we did codec the API in our favour.

Hi.
Do you happen to know which alliance was the first one to be attributed with 'blob' word?
Thank you.
ASCN which your corp (DS1) was a major player in. Guess the tactics have not changed any when you joined goons.
So far in this thread we....
- Dont fly battleships
- Have never won a fight without using spys
- dont post our losses
- invented the blob
- Only engage when we outnumber the enemy greatly
- Only Hide in pos's
Have I missed anything?
add
never jumped into enemy so you dont lag out

Oh, this is classic. The goons outnumber BoB 3-1 and expect BoB to jump in to them while defending. How about BoB logs off their Titan for you while aggressed? Would that help goons win? How about POTBS?

I'm just telling you how BoB gets its epic fights and K/D ratio. They only want epic fights after all. Epic Fights.
Oh and we don't need Shrike to log off to kill him, I know plenty about that one. The only ones who can't kill a piloted titan are BoB.

Be more of a baby please, it's called strategy and tactics, if you can't deal with getting your butt handed to you because we played the game smartly, then go back to WoW.

PPL ask wrong questions ;p 5:1 k/d are stats, you take data from last battles and it's there. Better ask how they operate with 100+ players in a fleet every day, make a record how your FC does, find out why you know what hit you from KM. With a little preparation 20 man can make 5/1 k/d; and eventualy make it back home You don't need old chars and loads of equip to do that, just don't go pvp with t1 guns.
I would already send noobship (yea, and industrial too) pilots from big battles to dig veld next 3 months in the empire, and FC right after them. why?!? why not? |

He was smartbombed whilst logged in as he was logging off by a bob agent within d2.

Your right all you needed to do was spam out of game forums and blackmail ccp to get a nerf so you could kill what you called a unkillable ship. Although im sure i remember two getting popped before the blackmail nerf......

I will guess that this is a picture of the bugged bs count on the killboard. I made a mistake in my code concerning the t2 bs kills (if a t2 bs was killed, it ignored all other kind of bs). This has been fixed. Good day.

Most of our hostiles however seem to think that 'PvP' means 'Player vs. POS when BoB is busy 20 jumps away' 
So far in our first 5 days we've killed or stolen about 20 POS in Y-2, 8QT, and Delve. About 15 of which were armed large POS, and half of those faction. If you would come within 20 jumps to defend your POS then we could get some PVP. Instead you only show up to defend towers from 18:00-23:00eve, and even then it's just in sov 3 systems where you have multiple titans and dozens of carriers under a cyno jammer.
The only POS's of which I'm aware are the ones stolen in F-TE, which were the result of a miscommunication. If you've stolen others, congrats.
As to your assertion, I'm currently sitting in a 200-man BoB fleet and it's 15:00. I've seen regroups set for 03:00, for 18:00, for 08:30, and for every other time under the sun. If you take issue with fighting in a Sov 3 system, then break Sov 3; you're fighting an enemy on a defensive footing in their home space. Of course they have Sov 3! You can hardly blame them for using the advantages of being a defender when, well, they're defenders! If you really have a problem with it, just pull back and let them be on the offense again, and you can fight with Sov 3 behind you.
Originally by: Shadowsword One reason bob get such favorables K-D ratio is that they generally have a spy on the enemy's TS telling them who is going to get called primary/secondary, so they can lock him to remote him, who's calling the shots so bob kill him first, etc...
They're good at pvp, but wouldn't get such favorable ratios without metagaming.
Spy on enemy TS? Sure.
Spy on enemy TS calling out primaries for logistics to pre-lock them? Of course not; if nothing else, that'd be waaaay too easy to detect (just whisper a primary to a suspected spy and see if it pops up on BoB TS).
