Well, what can I say, CELES. Congratulations on finally doing what every other functional and successful alliance does in the game to stay operational and competitive in 0.0. ItĘs what you do in the next six months thatĘs going to define your success, but so far so good.
As much as some of you will never admit, you are becoming more like BoB/DICE/ATUK every day and I mean that as a compliment. How does that feel? 
Respect was never a problem between us Metal, your accomplishments are undisputed.
If you mean that we'll become like you in terms of being a succesfull war machine, maybe, there are alot of great alliances out there tho  . If you mean that we'll use any means possible to win, like start shooting blues, use spies to offline poses, or sabotage ppls voice comms, sabotage supercaps, NEVER and we have NRDS in lowsec.
We've never had a problem with what old BoB did, but the way they did it and can you blame us? No, we were shooting pirates and helped weaker ppl. However, i must say right now BoB seems compleetly different from what once was, so yes it will be good to become like you as you are NOW

I take what he said as a complete compliment, and I on the other hand have no problem with using all game mechanics and whatever else to achieve my goal in eve including spying and whatever other method possible

The only thing going through my head right now, is whether or not this experience has made you understand the Fountain campaign better.
Your alliance got mocked and derided by groups (not just talking BoB here) for what was mostly interpreted as fear of change. You didn't want to adapt to the whole POS/industry/capitals route EVE took, and held onto outdated ideas.
I think you held back your corp just because you didn't think you could handle the level of organization and commitment it takes, and you believed all the logistics would make your hardcore pvpers softer. Obviously you now realize that is not true, and that bigger+slower fights can be as engaging, skillful and hardcore as smaller ones.
Basically, I don't think you had a lot of faith in yourself, or the people around you to accomplish something this large scale.
That said, I am actually glad you can't be written off just yet. The game is better with more war-minded groups, because it pushes the existing ones harder.
But like most people here said, once the newbie enthusiasm wears off and you start stagnating with goals and fun, it will be interesting how you react. Celes in the past has usually curled into a ball and hibernated through the worst times. I don't want to spook you, but I hope you realize the challenge has only begun.

Bring back the smack! Quickly, before my brain breaks!
NP, ...
Darth!
Stop painting your new POSes blue with white crosses! (scottish right?)
Just leave them "friendly" blue for your "After-war-Party".
Btw, stock up your Station Bars with scottish whiskey and some Exotic-dancers for my crew, so that I can call it propper service.

Great story Mad Jock. Being an ex member (soon to return) who was in Celes back in the days of killing ATUK I can vouch for the fact that the Corp has come a long way.
Having said that, its not all about Celes as Darth points out. It seems that like minded Corps has joined the Alliance as they all have the same goals as Celes, having fun!!!
A great job has been done by all members it would seem. Cant wait to join back up.
Brings a tear to my eye :)

We had plenty of faith in ourselves which we simply channeled into fighting.
We treated Eve as a PVP game and decided thats what we wanted...total PVP. Log on, shoot things, log off. That suited the entire corp, and we recruited and moulded around this ideal. We saw POS as a distraction, a waste of our time when we could be shooting things. We only formed Insurgency to take part in the alliance tournament to start with.
When Eve got to the point where 20 men in short range BS struggled to get fights at all, we hibernated, discussed, considered, and went for it.
Today, CELES could go into hibernation, but Insurgency would carry on with or without us. We've been at this properly for 6 months as a collective, but there's too much experience and wisdom within the ranks of Insurgency to ever let it stagnate.
