Yeah it's that Plave Okice with another RvB thread again, to be fair, it's about time the old threads died anyway.
So I'm sure most of you have heard about this by now, Two Alliances in a permanent empire war, any corp can join either side to fight, any pilot can join any of the two main corps to fight (Red. and Blue.)
Lots of people have been messaging me asking how it's going so I thought I'd write a proper update.
Two months ago we started with 10 v 10, currently we're about 380 v 350, over 1000 pilots in total have been RvB members.
Total kills is difficult to gauge as we use two killboards and of course overall stats were reset when the corps became alliances but there has been over 3500 kills to date.
Total damage again is difficult to judge for the above reasons but there has been well over 50 billion isk of ships worth destroyed and of course much, much more if you add mods and rigs.
We've enjoyed lots of third party wars (we get alot of other people deccing us), sometimes we fight them individually sometimes the alliances fight them together (as purple). Notable mentions in 3rd party wars are Crimson Order and Kernkraft 400 from the early days, more recently Capital Storm, Reavers and Mercenary forces have all brought fights to us and much fun has been had by all sides, I'm glad to say pretty much all smack free, just good fights.
There have been many notable kills, losses and fights, the battleship brawls with Red/Blue, CAPS and MF, the mass RvB frig fights, the fight with Reavers Battlecruiser fleet, the various Purple Ops, the numerous interceptor dogfights and scraps were all great fun. A Kronos, an officer/faction fit Rattler, a Core X repped Hype, a Gist XL tanked Navy Raven and a couple of billion ISK Huginns have all been notable kills/losses that have dropped some juicy loot too.
I know these stats aren't impressive compared to the scale of the big wars, but we're just a bunch of people having fun and hell, 50 billion ISK is a lot of frigs and cruisers. 
We have many more plans as yet, the two HQ's have moved for the fourth time and are now 9 jumps apart encouraging much more roaming, smaller gang action, we'll be looking to stay in our current positions for quite some time, recruitment is still open to both corps and alliances and our active pilot numbers are still on the increase.
I'd like to thank everyone who has been involved, has been in either of the two alliances or who has declared war on us, you've all played a part. I won't start naming names as it's inevitable I'll forget someone but those who have been essential to the success of RvB know who they are.
And while this is to celebrate our first two months it's also to say this is still the beginning, a new RvB website launches very soon where you can read the battle reports and stories around RvB, we're looking to grow all the time and have many more ideas and plans about what we want to do.
2008 - the year of the colour wars.

I heard you have inside teams and people teaming up together and not taking new members because "we don't know them" aka. nobbish and elitist behavior, c/d?

Eh? 
Members corps don't have to fly in alliance gangs if that's what you mean, they're free to just fly as corps, we have open policies, people can do what they like.

Must say myself and a few friends that have joined havenĘt had any problems teaming up with others. Its perhaps understandable that sometimes a group of friends or alliance corp would go out hunting together and possibly not accept any one else to their priv gang. But most of the time itĘs free for all and casual gangs floating about pew pawing.
All round great fun

Red - Hatakani
Blue - Bei
These are base systems though, it's not necceasry for all pilots to live there, we're recommending each side lives within a couple of jumps of their respective HQ in order to not be too far away from the action.

Red v Blue is great! Being a Red is great too! It would be even more great if it wasn't for them Blues. I don't like them much. I'm pretty sure some of them have tried to shoot me. They are very naughty.

Heh, yup.
In the early weeks at one point Red had 6 active wars including Blue, not that unusual to have 6 wars, although we were all based in the same system which made it kinda hectic.

To be honest it has rekindled a waning interest in EVE. I've had some fantastic PVP and look forward to much more.

Okay, it's about time I joined...
I'm sort of blue already, so that may be the best choice for me. Should I just head down to Bei and apply?
Btw, I just resigned as CEO so have no roles, does that mean I can join instantaneously?
Or will I have to wait 24 hrs?
Cheers!

I haven't seen anything even close to this since I've been in Blue. I do live on the West Coast USA, which isn't exactly the optimal time zone for RvB pew pew, but I haven't seen any "cliques" or elitist behavior of any sort.

Always a 24 hour wait, even from CEO I believe
