Edited by: Igor Stravinsky on 22/03/2008 13:05:51 Edited by: Igor Stravinsky on 22/03/2008 13:03:33 Fact: Joshua Cane, CEO of Section XIII and primary (some peoples say only) fleet commander of TCF left his corporation today and is now a member of the DICE corporation.
Fact: Mee Sawhornee, director of Section XIII left his corporation and is now a member of the Dice corporation.
Fact: It is widely known within Section XIII that Mee Sawhorny is very close to produce a Titan class spaceship by himself, TCF leadership even offered him a production window and use of alliance BPO.
Question: How the loss of the only true FC of TCF is going to affect alliance's ability to fight and protect its large territory or in middle-sized engagements ?
Question: How is Joshua's knowledge of TCF's and Coalition's deepest secrets is going to affect TCF, assuming that BoB has now access to precious details such as Section's XIII and TCF's "Titans in progress" ?
Question: Are we going to see a new DICE Titan very soon ?
Question: How are TCF and Section XIII members feel about this backstab ?
Please discuss.

If this is true this is ******* massive.
Sowly but surely the cryalition is falling apart and with red alliance breaking up and TCF showing these very serious cra.cks it is looking very probable that bob has taken on all of eve and if not won then certainly faught them to a bloody draw.
As for the old addage of bob's "we are better than you" i'm not subscribing, but they sure as hell seem to have more will, and in this game where the skill gap has practically closed that is the only thing that matters.
Kudos to BoB I guess.
Now is the time for all of the loyal bob friends to reap the benefits.

It is not if coalition is breaking... It is BoB just no threat anymore for absolute most of 0.0 entries. Just another regional power like f.e. TRI, Razor, RK/SMASH or Goons. So most alliance except Goons dont care about BoB anymore. Didnt cared for past month either. ==============================================

Joshua and Mee are brothers. Where one go, the other follow.

Joshua was the main FC, but not the only one. We'll manage, but thanks for your concern.

I trust they'll have the decency to keep quiet about TCF internal affairs. They're nice guys.

Mee might get himself a titan, but it will not be a stolen TCF one, so if bob build one for him, what does it change? ------------------------------------------

We are pleased to welcome Joshua and Mee in DICE and hope he will enjoy his stay.
No real drama for TCF really, they will recover from it. Joshua wanted to exit the responsabilities and was seeking for renewing his game experience. Yes it's a game and you should take it as this.
Welcome Joshua, have fun.

It's pretty obvious what he's trying to say, but I won't be surprised at all if no one is capable of thinking about the variations in level of threat.
BoB is no longer a galactic threat. They're DANGEROUS, but they're not going to be controlling anyone's game or preventing anyone from building up in 0.0 again anytime soon.
This means that as long as the goons are keeping them occupied and the status quo doesn't massively change, the other coalition alliances don't have a striking reason to keep grinding in Delve now that things have gotten tough. Simply put, everyone is annoyed that BoB are arrogant cheaters, but that's heavily balanced by actually wanting to have fun playing the game.
Like the post above said, they are only a regional power these day. It's still very much in question whether the goons and remaining allies will hold them in check at their current position or whether they'll push back out to their position of a month or two ago...where they were STILL teetering on the brink of being trapped in Delve.
Really, at the current rate, nothing will be resolved in a reasonable amount of time, so it'll come down to commitment to trench warfare. Since this a video game, I'd probably put more money on BoB breaking out, simply because charging the machine guns isn't very interesting or rewarding for the goons.

*sigh*
I'll say the same thing if you through this at Tri, MH, Evoke, MC and stuff. If you've got allegations of cheating taking place in EVE, please submit them to CCP internal affairs, or make a petition, be sure to give evidence and such. Otherwise, nice troll, lacking a lot of info, but nicely worded all the same.

Of course the cheating I'm referring to is the stuff that was admitted to by CCP and was the cause of the formation of internal affairs- I didn't mean to imply it was an ongoing thing, just to acknowledge the bankruptcy that a lot of people (whether you or I like it or not) continue to see as a defining feature of BoB.
As for the rest, what kind of info am I lacking? You don't even have to get into specifics.

Its pretty funny watching them go mental when they lose or scatter because they dont want to fight us, thinkng we got special powers. Enemies who join us soon realise its because we are good and in my case....fantastic.

First it was "BoB must be removed from EVE".
Then it was "BoB must be removed from Delve".
Now it's "BoB is only a regional power".
Give them another few months and they'll be knocking on your doorstep once again. It's what they do. It's what they've been doing for years.

Yeah but that's OK cos they're probably going to kill MC first.  I don't think many people will shed tears over BoB and MC losing caps at each other for a while 
Then once MC are dead and BoB start hitting someone else we can attack them again and start all over \o/

I'm dont know very much about the ingame history and all stuff about bob and though.. 
I'm only another player who joined an alliance and plays with a side, or another; the important thing is that pvp keeps going in 0.0 for any reason 
It's nice to see how almost half of the online players in a normal day could be trying to destroy others.. Let's see if the server cant handle us more than titan's 
Remember that any threat always begins with an small sparkle; only time is needed to make it greater or.. blow away with the wind.

Pretty good summation of what I think the situation is at the moment, tbh.
Its battle of willpower, and with both sides' track records, I give BoB the edge.

I mean that if an alliance struggles because 2 important people leave, then something is wrong with their leadership system. There should be others willing to step up and take over their function, and others checking to verify that they do it right.  _______________________________ http://epicwords.net/ |

Really, at the current rate, nothing will be resolved in a reasonable amount of time, so it'll come down to commitment to trench warfare. Since this a video game, I'd probably put more money on BoB breaking out, simply because charging the machine guns isn't very interesting or rewarding for the goons.
Pretty good summation of what I think the situation is at the moment, tbh.
Its battle of willpower, and with both sides' track records, I give BoB the edge.
lol, WWI reference ;X
Everyone half-intelligent knew it would be like that, though. If left to go on for a long time, it would become trench warfare until one side breaks down and cries.
The Coalition thought by having beyond-overwhelming force it would be a quick steamroll. Instead they spent six months just learning how to organize on that level, and by then a lot of the groups who got a minor whipping are either disinterested or dead.
After that, they made progress by finding a route which isn't easily countered when you have inferior numbers. But now it mirrors the last two thirds of the GNW, where people play mostly on willpower, not fun. _______________________________ http://epicwords.net/ |

BoB is only a regional threat due to constant pressure applied by RSF plus allies. Other than regions, nothing has been lost. As soon as that pressure is removed BoB can return to what most remember.
Right now you have a situation where dozens of alliances benefited from RSF crusade lead by the Goons, but each of them has left the table to go get dessert ditching Goons with the cheque.
RSF mistake was the same as BoBs: grab space, fill it with useless people. Goons pride themselves on not getting rent and having great allies, trying to contrast themselves with BoB, but it has ended up the same and they simply never got ISK for their trouble. Trying to hold scalding pass to paragon soul was and still remains a mistake that requires too many concessions with very little benefit. Keeping a big soft center several regions from the front is not a treasure and has lead to a weakening of each alliances ability and resolve. |

It's a well known fact that BOB absorves the best players of the alliances / corporations that die (or are about to) around them, enemies or allies. It's what made BOB who they are and it's also the reason of why they're the best, it's a mix of a lot of experienced players in the same side.

The SNRA thing didn't work out how we hoped it would and SNRA was re-formed.
FINFL flew with us for months before being invited in to BoB.
Both of which completely rubbish your statement that we don't "do" selection.
We're certainly different, though, we've only got stronger and had more fun. I guess more and more people are seeing that and not falling for your spiel anymore, huh? Reikoku Diplomatic Forums

That's only if you assume the joining corp doesn't have a strict "only recruit worthwile players" policy. And considering FinFleet were deemed good enough to join BoB you would assume that basic things such as "only recruit worthwhile players" was already in place.

OK, yes, I did misunderstand you. What you meant was actually worse :p
SNRA was dealt with as best we could - looking back we'd probably do things a bit different if we were to do it again.
FINFL, however, really do not belong as an example to prove your point because they came as the whole package, both in terms of standards and dedication.
Don't worry about it though, your English is better than my French so you won't get any complaints from me on that score :p Reikoku Diplomatic Forums

Bad players do not last very long in BoB. With the amount of PVP we do, they either learn real, real fast if they already donĘt have the skills or they die a lot and leave. CanĘt hide suckiness when fighting half of EVE.

Originally by: Lenaria It is not if coalition is breaking... It is BoB just no threat anymore for absolute most of 0.0 entries. Just another regional power like f.e. TRI, Razor, RK/SMASH or Goons. So most alliance except Goons dont care about BoB anymore. Didnt cared for past month either.

First it was "BoB must be removed from EVE".
Then it was "BoB must be removed from Delve".
Now it's "BoB is only a regional power".
Give them another few months and they'll be knocking on your doorstep once again. It's what they do. It's what they've been doing for years.
Yeah but that's OK cos they're probably going to kill MC first.  I don't think many people will shed tears over BoB and MC losing caps at each other for a while 
Then once MC are dead and BoB start hitting someone else we can attack them again and start all over \o/
