Hey, there's a guy here still pretending to be me. Even after my return? That is pretty hilarious, but it infringes on my forum greatness.

Specifically, your propaganda blows massive chunks Digicomm, and I am forced to consign you to witlessness in my space journal :(

If you want to make an argument for why the Coalition sucks, all you have to do is tell the truth. LIKE SO:

Its a coalition consisting of virtually all the major players in 0.0, and the merger of two geographic power blocs that were each massive on their own. Common hate being the only unifying factor in this otherwise unlikely pairing. This hate being the resultant of being provoked and threatened sufficiently enough by a single group no bigger than any of theirs across a time span of two years.

For one year now, individual Coalition members put aside any personal ambitions to each become the strongest and greatest alliances in EVE - simply to focus on annihilating said group. Presumably because they saw the power gap between the enemy and each one of themselves grow wider, while the gap in territory grew narrower. Either way they had no desire/ability/willpower to achieve it alone.

This Coalition failed in the first six months, while having the largest advantage in numbers and propaganda anyone has ever had in EVE history by orders of magnitude. They were also simultaneous victims to both the two largest single military defeats, and the biggest failure of spy intelligence in this time.

Now they're claiming space and making ground, using the only strategy BoB hasn't found a counter for already, and the strategy they intended to use from the start. All the while, this Coalition is preparing themselves for the coming declaration of victory when the last station falls based on all accounts.

Only the enemy they're fighting isn't likely to care and disband as they might have in a similar situation, since the whole war is a testament to domination in EVE and one massive ego stroke for BoB. Especially more so since the conquest of more territory than one needs had this intent to begin with, and despite memetic jokes to the contrary, no one would put it past BoB to look for such an ego stroke (personal experience hay).

The shady Halo2/Crysis ending where BoB has no space but still lives as a competent fighting force will result in a propaganda war. Proponents of the Coalition try to present the idea of having achieved goals/victory to BoB and EVE, and having done a service to EVE.

Which is only serving as fuel for the next two years of war as BoB fights for the precarious position of "best alliance" as they always have, only with different momentum and more freedom of choice.

It will be in a 0.0 environment where everyone can see the giant pink rhino in the room but nobody wants to talk or deal with it outside of token anti-rhino support groups to token allies. Because for the first time in years there isn't an obvious solution, and the incentives to focus on empire building at home (or become disinterested or paranoid of certain other groups) are back.

<bsg> All this has happened before, and all this will happen again </bsg>

All of BoB did benefit as they were alliance held assets, and what benefits an alliance benefits its individual members.
