What range of skill levels do you see fighting? As in, are most chars moderately skilled, or do you see a lot of 1m SPs, or both?
Just to know what my likely kill/death ratio will be atm :)

whats the policy on pod killing?
Dont worry too much about it, as it's in empire there is no bubble then being pod killed is rather rare as u can escape rather quickly

Absolution gap much?
RvB is the way of the future, the end of eve as we know it and the cure for boredom, apathy and bad forum posts!
Vote red
*edit: In response to the above (x3) poster there is a large mix of low and high SP players and some third party wars. Expect to die a lot and kill a lot.

I joined up with Red yesterday and got my first kill last night! 
However, I have a couple of questions:
1. Judging from previous posts, I'm guessing that pod killing is allowed then? This is a good thing for me as, because I'm of piratey nature, it's a natural habit for me to automatically go after a pod. I almost did it twice last night...
2. Because of said piratey nature, would I be allowed to go off and do my own thing to neutrals in low sec whenever I wanted? Because, despite the lovely pew pewyness of it all, the war doesn't have the same thrill as pirating because it's "allowed and expected". 
3. Would I be allowed to partake in said pirateyness even though Purple Ops could be "on" at the time? Purple Ops isn't something I'm really available for because:
A. Because I'm only in frigs at the moment, I feel like I'm getting thrust into situations that I can't handle.
B. I have a hard time understanding some people on Vent due to differing mic volumes and it's a pain for me trying to follow orders.
So, if Purple's "on", I could go and do my own thing in low sec until it's "off", then I can go back to fighting blues. Would this be allowed?
Nice sigs, btw! I've got the "Choose your side" sig as my PSP background.

SP wise we have everything from 900k noobs and noob alts to one guy with 85mill sp, we have many, many pilots in the 20-50 mill sp range. You'll see every type of non capital combat ship flown, gangs often have huge variation in ship types, all are useful.
Pod killing is allowed, it's personal choice, I don't try to pod any blues but will certainly try and pod 3rd parties, most people follow this but not all.
You can do what you like, what we provide is empire war targets to pew pew, if you want to go off and pirate, mission, kamikaze gank then feel free, many of our members do (ouch at the blue who got caught missioning in a 2 bill fit CNR tho).
Purple effectively means that RvB fighting stops and is generally used when large amounts of 3rd parties are around or we fancy a change of pace and jump into 0.0 or wherever. You don't have to join in at all, it just means that during purple times you don't shoot reds/blues.

I will be joining soon but before i do i wondered if any one could tell me if there are many player from either Australia or NZ and if so what side has the most active players from this TZ.
I am wanting to join so i can improve my skill in small gang PvP so i am looking to join in with a very good FC so i can see how a good small gang FC does his work, so any info on what side has an good Australian FC would also be a big help.
and a final question is. If there is a purple OP underway that is heading to my current corps 0.0 region will it be frowned upon if i do not join (i dont want to burn any bridges that will impact my ability to earn isk to fund my future R v B fun or harm my current corps rep with there alliance)

i've just started up and I'm a fairly new player (just hitting 1 mill sp). i'm training up destroyers so i can shoot more guns at once than the regular frigates. rvb is very fun for the pvp minded (though tbh i haven't got a killmail yet   !

With all seriousness, this is a great idea and I've loved it since I've first heard about it. Now, having shown my enthusiasm for the idea, I'll let you know why I haven't joined up yet.
The one thing I've been waiting for is Faction Warfare from CCP. It's a great idea, and very similar to what RvB is doing. Now, I'm glad to see that RvB has evolved to alliance warfare, but whats the next step?
What I think should be the next step is us players creating our own Faction Warfare, using RvB as a base. You've already incorporated storyline, from what I've heard. So why not take it to the next level? Why not have 4 or more teams? This obviously has the potential to grow into something huge. It has the ability to bring fun, carefree PvP to the average Empire-dweller, without having to worry about losing your systems with stations full of expensive stuff. You're not worried about territory, you're worried about fighting.
This, in my opinion, is how most of EVE should be. Everything should support this. You can have 4 alliances that are the fighting force. Then each alliance has a sister-corp that is the industrial backbone for the fighting folks. The sister-corp is outside of the alliance, in order to not be made war targets. If the sister-corp is war decced by a third party, all four combat alliances can declare war on the intruder in order to help protect the industrial backbone. Getting non-PvP related people involved in this is the next step.
With four alliances, you can have each one choose a faction to "play" as. Of course the members of the alliance would not have to be of that race, and RPing would not be forced on anyone. But the backstories that can be developed would have great possibilities, and in my opinion will add to the richness of the action.
All action would be kept out of 0.0 so to not get involved in politics. And if the desire arises, POS-warfare could be instigated in low sec, giving room for higher-SP Capital pilots to enter the fray. This could be good, but also bad as you begin to bring in territory.
Have you given any consideration to ideas like these?

We do have more plans for extending RvB, but four sides will give us considerable leadership and organisation problems, it's hard enough with two at the moment, so the likelihood is that we'll remain two sides.
Eve's four factions have no relevance to our two.
Everything else you've mentioned is what we do/have anyway, the only difference being the number of sides.

I'd just like to say that having joined a short while ago (a week?) I've already seen a LOT more PVP-action than i could ever have imagined.
Yes, I've lost ships, but it's all fun and games, both sides exchange GF's, and when there's a purple op, everyone suddenly become one big family, at least for a short while 
Thanks for this wonderful concept, it was about time someone accomplished something like this, since CCP is obviously lacking in producing decent content for their own game (soon tm.)
Thank you Blue for giving backup, and thank you Red for firing back!

great, great fun =)
thanks for always bringing it!
it can get hectic at times, especially when you don't know if blue and red are on a joint op or fighting each other and you find yourself in system with both parties =)
All in all, fantastic and well executed idea. |

The 4 side idea has some credit. Might be a good thing for peopel with some sort of RP in their blood. 4 alliances each one only accepts a specific race. Minmatar and gallente in war witn amarr and caldari. Would be another very nice thing to do. Not necessarily by the RnB people, so.. RP that are reading.. start moving these rear ends of yours!!!!

I think Red have a secret pact with MF tbh, whenever I'm showing you guys how to PvP, there's always a "MF close by!" call and I have to team up with you. Come on Reds, I know I'm fun to have on your side, but please :P

Would be impossible to balance, let alone the leadership issues involved with 4 alliances and the project.

I would say my best night was jumping a group of MF (I think it was them) battlecruisers. Kudos to them, they put up a good fight but they were outnumbered and popped.
To be honest, this is a great idea and I think it should create a few red faces in Iceland *cough factional warfare cough* :D
