I wonder if it's technically possible for MC to have handled this situation worse. They betray their longtime friends, biggest employer, and most powerful allies - alienating themselves, removing their primary source of income, and ruining their reputation in one go. So instead of building relationships with RSF, they actually manage to **** them off instead, putting them square in the middle of two 800lb gorillas. No real allies to speak of, and hated by everyone around them... yeah, that's going to go well. Couldn't have planned it better! I hereby nominate MC for the Darwin award.
Seleene always claimed that they would consider taking a contract against Bob.
Its just amusing to see GBC accuse MC while they have been holding a knife behind their backs all along. The timing just was off and MC thanked for being nothing more than cannon fodder. If anyones' reputation would be at stake it would be Bob for their fake friendships. They only wanna be your friend if it suits them. As long as it lasts.
The timing was fine, everything that could have been gained solely by them switching sides was gained: BoB leaving to attack PB, giving up querious, fountain, and catch quickly, and then giving up on PB once Delve started being attacked. MC's unwillingness to put anything bigger than a battleship at risk in Delve was the only problem. They took no initiative of their own and they did nothing to very little to support coalition offenses despite living in their backyard.
From the looks of things they still have this problem even when it's their own space going down.
Oh really?
That was the whole point of Tortuga. We never wanted to commit to either side. We wanted to be our own side. Sadly, certain circumstances forced us to go blue with the Coalition to appease those who couldn't wait a week or 2 more. Since you say we never committed anything... where were your dreads again in QY6? Oh that's right, they weren't there so you wouldn't know what we did or did not commit.
We decided to help each other out (Tortuga and the Coalition), and we both did what we said we would do. We never made a deal to lead yet another campaign for you. The fact that most of the time a Tortuga fleet would outnumber a Coalition fleet when you wanted us to do something didn't help either.
As for the BoB siege... there's not much a force of 100-150 can do against 400. Will we defend? Where possible, yes. Will we suicide our cap fleet? Doubtful.
In the end, there are good times and bad times for everyone. A month or 2 ago it was still looking pretty bleak for BoB, it's easy to boast around on the forum now. But hey, what comes around goes around. That's a fact for us as much as it is for everyone else as well. We took a chance with this, and it didn't work out like planned. But I much prefer we get kicked out of 0.0 and do our own thing than be allied with BoB for another few years.
