This is just guessing from me, but I wouldn't be suprised if BoB would offer BRUCE to maintain fountain for them (in exchange for rent/services), I seriously doubt Fountain is number one on their list at any rate.

Why do you think Pandemic Legion want them out of Fountain as fast as possible. -

Edited by: Friedrick Psitalon on 07/04/2008 12:03:16 Wow! BRUCE has finally moved to the big time. \o/ We have our very own in-alliance troll. Or, he'd like us to think he's an in-alliance troll. More likely he's an in-alliance spy trying to cause trouble - our forums are down for maintenance this morning and he was probably bored and looking for something to do. Or possibly here we have another alliance looking to goad BRUCE on, but I wouldn't presume to make any accusations there. I'm sure we'll now be one of the common targets for hostile posts, but hey, what's life without some excitement after all? I probably won't reply to these in the future - I know I'm asking for trouble and I've seen these kind of posters attacking other alliances, best ignored, but since it's our first... and our board is down, after all....what the heck.
BRUCE is not a naturally aggressive alliance, but those who know us know that coming into our space will get a very prompt and aggressive response. Pandemic knows it; BoB knows it. I would say "No, we don't run from BoB gangs" but I think all BRUCEs know the answer, and so do all BoBs - that's good enough for me. Do we neccssarily win those fights every time via isk comparison? Heck no! Would you really expect us to? :lol: We have a great time, we learn from it, and we move on. I think UNNAT and Recon would probably agree that we can be plenty aggressive when we have reason, means, and need.
Even if BRUCE gets punted from Fountain - and with all due respect to the fine gentlemen in Delve, that'll take effort, though it's certainly a possibility - "our time" will not "come to an end." That's how I know that the original poster (I was going to abbreviate the name, but it would've been filtered )is probably not a BRUCE. Do we love Fountain? Sure. Would we be unhappy to lose it? Definitely. Would we lose a few members? Certainly. Even if we get punted, though, we have plans in place, and we'll keep right on moving. The "fat" members who joined BRUCE because of where we were will depart - the "lean" ones who joined us for the ideals, for the philosophy, and the family will move on, and keep growing. Alliances die from a lack of goals and a lack of vision, not a lack of space. I think you'd be surprised just how many will remain on our rosters. 
In the meantime, we'll enjoy the pew-pew, and continue trading punches with UNNAT, PL, and BoB. Who could possibly teach you more about PVP than these guys? We're not the next industrial alliance, something we've demonstrated repeatedly already and conveniently forgotten because we don't crow about our accomplishments or wave an e-peen killboard. (No disrespect to those who do, it's just not our thing.) We're learning a lot from fighting PL and BoB, and that'll only continue. It's great stuff. We're no one's pet, never will be, and we're proud of it.
Doomsay all you like - BRUCE will be here when you are gone. 
LONG LIVE THE BRUCES! o/

I consider bruce an eve superpower. I dont see them accepting a 'pet' status from BOB at all, I do see is that their recent moves against recon they have bought themselves a retreat point in case BOB dose invade.
If BOB does strike BRUCE and if they do pull towards the old reconing area, Triumviate will be in for a rough time as from what I heard they couldnt handle CVA so I doubt they can handle bruce.

I agree with that. Your response time is amazing tbqh. And yes i certainly know that. I also agree that i have never seen a Bruce gang run away from fight so far. Your care bears ratting in system yes, a lot smaller gangs then ours yes but when equal or (usually) bigger gang of Bruce then our roaming gang is there they always delivered. Do they win? Well no, not in Ships killed numbers nor in ISK value, but they do often hold the field.
We also had a great time in those fights and all i can say is keep bringing it and learning from it Bruce. __________________________________

BRUCE show very impressive defensive ability and capability to assemble a sizable fleet (60-90) within 15 minute notice. What's more impressive is that they appear to have a solid FC structure able to keep their forces in check and commit to the strategy they have chosen to engage with no matter losses.
Sure -- their tactics lack pilot experience still to execute flawlessly, but that happens to any force from time to time until everyone sharpens up.
We're doing our bit to help them sharpen their teeth & tactics when someone who's actually interested in soverenity comes knocking .

Anyone who says BRUCE run and hide don't know what they are talking about. They have a faster response time than many alliances that claim to be eliteomgpvpers, and from recent experiences they always seem up for a fight, which is great to see considering many of them arent hardcore pvpers.
They don't smack in local, they don't whine when they lose a ship and blame everyone and their mother, instead they seek to better their performance and adapt.
Heres to many more GFs

I for one honestly don't think BRUCE is going anywhere anytime soon. I've fought against them a few times and they have given me some of my favorite pvp moments. Their ability to amass a fleet of over 100 battleships in under 15 minutes is simply amazing, they don't smack talk on local, and they know its all for the fun and enjoyment of EVE. It's a long trip to get up to fountain, but its more than worth the wait.  -------------------------------------------------- "With hard work and focus ye shall achieve." Unless stated otherwise, the opinions above do not reflect those of my corp or my alliance. Thx. >.> |

There are lots of misunderstandings about BRUCE out there.
BRUCE has been fighting non-stop since December 2006 when they arrived in Syndicate. (I brought my corp to BRUCE on May 2007). We earn our space via blood, and keep it via blood. BRUCE has never been a tenant, and it will never happen in the future.
Unlike most large space holding alliances (except perhaps Morsus Mihi), BRUCE doesnÆt have carebear tenants in our space, or renters outside it. We donÆt demand tribute from neighbors. BRUCE isnÆt interested in holding more space than we can hold or use.. we have given away space for free many times in the past. We look for friends that want to fight for space which they can call their own. We arenÆt isk farmers/EBAYers, nor suffer them to live in any way in our space or neighboring space.
All BRUCE corps fight. We only bring in corporations who are both well organized, experienced, and with a strong background of PvP. BRUCE corporations are of a similar mind on major goals. By collecting corporations with common attitude and purpose, BRUCE corporations are very tightly woven together and wonÆt bust apart easily.
BRUCE rarely talks on CAOD, we donÆt smack in local, and we try to be as straightforward as possible with our friends and enemies (although we donÆt always achieve that). We have been generous (sometimes too generous) to those we have displaced. We expect similar, and react poorly to smack, ultimatums, or commands.
BRUCE isnÆt like BoB, TRI, Goons, KOS, Youwhat, FREGE, or any other alliance really. Looking for such comparisons will be fruitless.

For a "fat carebear alliance" they sure do move fast tbh. Their response time is as fast as any i have seen. If its really only 100 pvpers protecting the whole alliance then those 100 pvpers will have plenty of recruiters after them when bruce meets its supposed impending doom, even if they have to iron out a few suicidal tendancies

Bruce has the burden of sharing borders with BoB. Right now Fountain and Delve are constant hotspots of PvP activity.
I think most people who follow 0.0 are shocked that Bruce 'still has fountain', the question I'm now asking myself is how many more months will pass while we'll still be 'shocked' they have it?
Bruce is an odd an animal in eve, just looking at this thread I've seen them referred to as 'fat carebears' and 'great pvpers' ... So which is it?
As for the maker of the thread, I'm guessing he's a goon alt who got bored of just posting to the Goon forums' War Room thread entitled "RA haven't abandoned us."
Seriously guys, nine pages of goon whining is a bit much.

MC, using non-cap ships and often out-numbered, pwned BRUCE when they were in Syndicate. BRUCE apparently was very scared of MC cap fleet so they spent most of the MC/BRUCE war docked up even if they outnumbered MC 10-1 in local.
Admittedly, there fears were realised when they did manage to rally a massive 200 man fleet against MC and in got Doomsdayed.
After there fleet got doomsdayed, they found out about an abandoned outpost/station in 0.0 and they moved there. No, they did not build or fight for the outpost.
If they could not handle a small alliance like MC on the edge of empire, it stands to reason they won't be able to withstand an assault by any major force deep in 0.0.

Let's face it, anyone who knocks BRUCE really never seen them in action. Let's compare a few entities trying to still hold some kind of presence in the South-West:
1. Goons, no comparison needed, with their new leader, total absence of any kind of plan except for "Yall go live in 319 and get slaughtered!", plus Suas as their military adviser equals unlimited LOLs for all involved and lots of crappy loot. I tried salvaging a goon can the other day and got an error message "Dude, for real!?"
2. Pathetic Legion, aka Arsemode Lamers. Incapable of doing anything but griefing a few lazy tired bums who don't care to check if the gate is camped. God bless you for doing what Darwin outlined in his lifetime achievement work.
3. IAC, I love those drunks, they bring carriers with no support to gates, asteroid belts. Fun people to fight against, too bad this slimy bastard TT screwed you in many ways. I'm gonna miss you guys.
4. MC, new leader without a plan. Summary of MC state of the union address: don't know if we're on the offensive; don't know if we're in defensive mode; the plans are there but I need to talk to FC's cause no one told me; another corp another titan leaving; we need to try and find some friends who won't laugh in our faces; public relations nightmare is being handled by someone, dunno anything about it; next question?
Am I missing anyone?
BRUCE people actually come out and fight. You bring 5, they'll chase ya with 20. You come with 15, they'll camp ya with 50, and they won't get bored in 5 minutes and go chasing butterflies in the yard (hi Goons). In all honesty I think BRUCE are fun to fight against. I have no idea what their capital capabilities are, but I guess we'll find out sooner or later

*personal opinion*
Bruce has lots of carebears and some pvp ppl. Enough to be called ebil blobbers very often from ppl, who lost a battle.
I always prefered to be called äbruce bearô. As a äbruce bearô, you have to meet much lower expectations than as äwestern power blockô or just äsuperpowerô. I consider myself more a carebear than pvper. I rather like to be the underdog. You prolly get more juicy roaming gangs. Some good enemy roaming gangs are very successful and kill Bruce faction BS or marauders etc. - you know. (and some are not so successful)
Here are the high lights from my last battle in a BOB system with Bruce + North: BOB carrier blob û fighter lag û BOB conventional fleet jumps in û desync û wallet blinking with insurance isk û only 1 tempest with 1400mm guns on pod kill mail. I assume, the Bruce leaders intend to defend Fountain the same way like BOB defend their space. But if you are nice and bring no capitals or too big fleet to take a cyno jammer down, we can always have some fun.
ps: I would love to see lost battles for BOB in the fleet battle overview on their killboard. You win enough, everybody knows, you are very good and an estabilished superpower. Why do you not want to show, if you lose sometimes?
