BOB's much vaunted fortress Delve seems to have fallen at the first hurdle. Pulling their tenants back to delve (those that actually went)was supposed to bring a concerntrated firepower bloc to Delve that the anti-BOB coalition would not be able to break.
QY6 has fallen (the first BOB station in Delve) leaving F-T wide open to fall as well.
Was the decision to abandon the BOB tenants and require them to leave the systems they own/rent to defend BOB's core their undoing?
What is certain is that BOB fought long and hard for QY6 and still lost it, without the support in numbers of their former tenants can they hold any non NPC systems in Delve?
BOB were clearly the most powerful force in EVE for a long time, their inability to save "Fortress Delve" shows that even the mighty can fall. But what led to this state of affairs? BOBs arrogance? its disdain for its tenants? or a belief that they were in fact so good no-one could touch them?
I personally believe that BOBs biggest problem is that they think they are invincible, even when the evidence is presented in front of them, and that arrogance leads to making daft decisions.

Edited by: o2bu4once on 05/02/2008 22:07:00 It will be intresting to see what happens.BoB have lost alot of capitals as the coalition has.With supply lines happered.. will they have the staying power and be able to replace losses?
Does BoB they have these huge reserves they have talked about?They seem to not be able to truely do as they will to do.They have been stopped.While still winning many fights.
They win most of the fights and handle lag very well.It's Like they are not lagged as BAD as some people.This is either through learning to work with it before,Learning how to use in game tweeks to minimize it(GM info?) or cheating.The later not being likely.
BoB are still powerful and if they pulled out and evacuated from Delve and sat for awhile.With that many caps still and their expereince.Would be intresting for anyone to deal with after the colation goes it's ways.Will they fight till the end ?
Intresting stuff to eat popcorn too :)

Damn these threads are getting repetitive
Nobody honestly cares about your "in-depth analysis" of a war you probably aren't fighting in. And -1 for the poorly disguised flamebait throughout the post. Please, try harder next time.

Partly attitude combined with the dev scandals. Don't underestimate the scandal regarding Dev's and cheating. There were lots of reactionary forces at the time, but goons seem to have really managed to harness or provide a long term place for all the haters

To be fair here, I didnt create "Fortress Delve" that would be the CEO of BOB, also to be fair the fact that the first real push on "Fortress Delve" seems to have led to a anti-BOB victory is a cause for discussion.
I dont think that discussing wether BOB have actually bitten off more than they can chew (or not depending on your view) is flaming.

Careful, your bias is showing.

Its where you lost that mothership? You know, you lost about 14 POS? You personally lost a Rohk there yesterday to a driveby. You lost a station there today. BoB built it (eve-maps says in september last year) Same constellation as F-T. You can't log into it becuase all your POS are destroyed and replaced with bubbles.
Ring any bells yet?

You really are just a wonderful person arent you. You come down from your chair high up in the clouds just to help this poor uneducated man, even though he is your sworn enemy.

I'm just happy that eve is proving no one can stand on their own.
This game is about skill yes, but its also about politics, the most SP doesn't always win the game.
So people can say "oh well it took 50 million of them to beat us", I think it was more they knew how to play the game, you didn't.

If this is the way the Delve campaign is going to continue then it looks like BoB would have been better to hang onto those regions and at least force the coalition to constantly push them back.

Like i've said many times before,
" If your in a street and a gang of 20 men beat you up, you don't really feel the loss as there was nothing much you could do too win.. Now, if your back in the same street and some sterotype nerd comes up to you and lays you out cold with one punch you start questioning your manhood and the loss hurts! "
Either way im still looking for my lost cookies

wait guys im kind of confused the 'of course we lost there were impossible odds' argument does this conflict with the 'we planned for everyone to attack us we control your game from a barbeque' argument or not :o
it is easy to confuse mittens though
