Originally by: Yuki Nagato None of our FC's are from or live in Iceland. And I'm fairly sure to work at CCP you have to, you know, show up for work, at their headquarters in Iceland.
Yeah, this requirement of having to relocate to Iceland in order to work for CCP is another strange decision.
Swiss banks have no problem outsourcing R&D tasks all over the world from India to Russia, end up with a decentralized IT pool whose average IQ is second only to the NSA (what incidentally allows a structure totaling less than 100K people to manage 33% of the world's financial assets in real time).
But apparently, CCP can't cater on russian mathematicians enjoying enough PhD's and credential to fill up hygienic rolls despite just costing a few hundred $/month...

To be honest, Kugu's decision to spill the beans on BoB cheating had as much to do with the BoB directors who hired him to hack into our forums deciding to stiff him out of the agreed payment as it had to do with him preferring Goons to the worthless *****s in BoB.
I bet Lallente sure wishes he had ponied up that Wyvern now. |

Originally by: Malachon Draco OPs reasoning is flawed. BoB can get a fleet up during primetime perhaps. But with the timezone coverage of the Coalition, BoB can easily find themselves forced to login into completely hostile systems once they are down to the last constellation. With bubbles on all stations and at the various important POSses.
This is one of the difficulties we're facing. But you'll have to think of the handful of titans BoB has. Once we're down to the last constellation, we can concentrate them in the same system, and do the supercapship equivalent of login traps :)
From my POV, the most serious problem we're facing is the state the server is in. Fact is, BoB is a collection of high-skilled characters, flying the best gear money can buy. But then the lag equalizer kicks in. What difference does it make that I'm flying a full-T2 Maelstrom versus the next guy's 8-mo old character in a Drake, when I have to lock him @ 30 km with two range scripts in the boosters and shoot him with 200km low-tracking T2 sniping ammo !? And that until the guns deplete the ammo, because they won't reload until 30 min. later... and that has me flying amarr ships lately
I think the biggest risk you're facing is this.
Its friday after DT. Russians take advantage of their earlier TZ and put 300 guys in local of a Sov 3 stationsystem in your last Sov 4 constellation. Take out POS defences and start putting bubbles everywhere. 5 covops dropping probes whenever a BoB guy logs in, and with information on where your titanpilots logged out through locator agents. Other stationsystems have scattered forces and gatecamps with bubbles as well.
RA and AAA have 50 dreads waiting and ready to drop on top of any titan logging in. Would you risk logging in or cynoing in your titan knowing how MC lost theirs?

Today we had a small fleet fight, no capitals, no pos, in FWST
Bob jumped into us.
local peaked at 186.
Most of us never saw a bob ship appear, bob didnt seem nearly as affected but did suffer from it as well.
I waited 5+ minutes for a ship to appear and then warped out as i started taking damage, i came back and died after 2 drones and 2 ships had appeared, though my killmail had 6 on it.
Jita was at 1300+ with rens and amarr at 400+
I typed up a long battle report about CCPs epic failures but the forum ate it, i would like an explanation as to why this battle was so unplayable, peoples pcs, settings and ISPs cannot be blamed for this crap as it affected the majority of our 80 man fleet.
I dont think less than 200 people going at it can be considered an amazingly epic, huge, world changing fight anymore, the lag in some of the 500+ person meat grinders was not this bad.
CCP either need to fix their game (last year we could have 300 person battles no problem) or start reimbursing people for CCPs failures.

Wont happen. Goons will put a 200 man disposable fleet on the gate for you to DD and then Nync will eat your titans for breakfast and burp officer cap chargers, then the remainder of your leadership will go on a break.
As for the state of the server, I 100% agree.

i just love reading posts like these and seeing that people who have no idea how things are going in that area personally like to add their two cents! also, this isn't really unbiased since you obviously have stronger connections with BoB! also, playing the "dev card" too many times, even though it was a major infraction on many levels, would be like saying someone plays the "murder card" too many times against a convicted murderer! and never running out of isk is not a problem if you have empire alt corps to transfer money and supplies from!
but, i guess that's not how you'd expect a goon to answer, so...

Edited by: Baxalusx on 12/02/2008 10:25:14 Correction: LV hired Kugu, not BoB. More specificly it was, if I recall, Lallante who hired him and obtained logins for everything from Remedial's Paypal to his ingame account.
Coincidentally, he's now in RKK.
To further clarify on a little-known part of EVE history: Kugu "switched sides" because Lallante ****** him on his payment for the job. Foot, meet gun. ---------

WOW! LMFAO!!!! I really didn't think that it would be that easy and if it didn't work, then no harm no foul. Was just drinking a little bit and perusing, and thought I would see if I could get Goons to really talk too TOO much! I know they talk too much, but honestly! You guys walked right into it! Figured I would need:
Old crappy char with BoB corp 'Impartial' argument that means the Goons lose that can't be disproved - Break it down to a 300 man capped fight for 1 system with all of BoB Good demeanor A little dev response of devs everywhere (Goons ALWAYS mention T20) to warm fire Simmer Stoke Serve
I NEVER thought it would turn into Goons basically saying they were using a hacker too. They had more circles in their storys as a car race!
With all that being said, great morale boost for BoB (very funny at least) at the cost of an old old alt. I am not even in BoB, but have followed the forums regularly. I am coming back to the game, but with another char:) Seeing all the Goon smack just got to be too much!
If you have liked this story pro BoBers, please toss me a little isk to help me get on my feet:)
I'd like to thank Coors Light Lucky One (RIP) Pro Bobbers to stoke the fire Most importantly, esteemed guests, Goons
VIVA LA BOB!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a shock, BoB has infinite resources even after losing all their region, pets and most of their moon mining. They must have had infinite times three before but we obviously can never win against Infinity Itself. Please inform the CCP econimist of this shocking fact as this infitite pile of isk seriously changes the average isk per member in EVE to infinity too,.

I don't know if you're serious, but here it goes... It took around 2 years and thousands of players, to momentarily shut down some of BoB players spewing crap around.

BOB
A couple of players and a dev decided to cheat and through this they gained a couple of BPO's, a SABRE and a T2 ammo bpo' i believe. Oh yes and these players happened to be members of a alliance called Band of Brothers.
This came to light and the ppl at war plus those who had already lost to BOB used this to claim that it was BOB as a whole that was cheating and go on and on and on about it constantly. Now every EVE player knows that a couple of BPO's like those cannot change the course of a war or help an alliance the size of BOB and are only realy of any use at an individual level but the bob haters still use it as a rallying cry.
GOONS
The main BOB haters in eve the GOONS are the only alliance in eve to start a out of game threadnaught that actualy threatened the games existance because they wanted somthing changed so they could take space off BOB. This was done at an alliance level and encoraged throughout its membership and beyond.
Now i do not condone cheating in any way but i do not consider blaming an alliance for the acts of a couple of individuals right either. But to actualy threaten the game at an alliance level by going to out of game forums is as far as im concerned unforgivable no matter why it was done and it shows what alliance in eve is the real threat to the game itself.

Haha, very funny. Goons lecturing others about how immoral cheating is?
Might I only remind of goons hacking the eve client? Exchanging some of the icon pics against their owns to get some advantage in loading times etc. There were lots of other incidents as well. So better don't start this.
BoB is guilty at using game mechanics 'creatively' aka cheating, but Goons are abusing game mechanics heavily also. They are not at all the 'white knight' to rescue Eve from evil BoB. If, they are more or less a black knight.

Originally by: Dionisius CCP should take a real close look at your alliance imo.
CCP has allegedly already found developers in our alliance, which is how this whole DEVSWARM crap started. If they suspect any foul play they would be the first to act on it (because we're not BoB so they wouldn't just sweep it under the rug like they did with T20).
Yes they would, probably they would punish the offenders but still they would keep it under wraps, its their image that gets hurt also after all.
You have to be the worst poster I have ever layed eyes on.Does RK know they have a BOB alt with in them?Reminds of that one post from a neutral corp to BOB about their (real)objectives, so clearly a BOB alt.Not only does BOB have to worry about when they can log on in game, but they have to post with sudo alts and one-man alt corps.Must be fun to play the game you "own" have been at the top of this way now?yes.wait no. ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Hi Papa Ina!
Well, I forgot to add the fact that there are more devs in GoonSwarm than in any other alliance. Of course, one should add because they are by far the largest alliance. Still better don't accuse others of having divine dev powers in their alliance and because of that they are cheaters.

I think goons had 1 carrier in their whole corp while this bug was running. Maybe two...
