Great post from a Goon, actually provided history that I can mostly believe from a person who came in half way through the war. |

It was an okay post on balance. Obviously spiced with propaganda and biased in its own interest but was better than the usual CAOD diet. Interesting really in the subtle undertone of desperation from the goonswarm perspective if you read between the lines. I'd give it a 6/10 and would probably read again.
A succint analysis by Jade of a 7-pages goon post. The end is nigh !

To insinuate that I would ever leave my corp is laughable.
Ha! Ha! Hear me laugh.
Your most cowardly action was your theft of the infamous Bling-athron BPO from your corp.
Eventually they will kick you out because of this.
Do not deny your theft. I have proof. 
Damn it, I suspected he has been taking ships, fuel and ammo from the corp all this time!!!

Fairly entertaining read...beats the hell out of most of the drivel that gets posted here, whether you agree with it or not.
It might be an entertaining read, but that still doesnt make this the creative writting section.. I'm sure discussing random person's long winded day dreams is great and all that.. but.. mueh...

But I guess the reason why people always look to me instead is that in addition to being a member of Goonfleet, I am also completely objective. Most participants in the GWoPRAtEToBoB have some sort of agenda because they want one side or the other to win, and their bias is reflected in their posts. I, too, want someone to win--like all Eve, I recognize that BoB must be destroyed--but I am unbiased because rather than speaking from a "perspective," I simply tell it like it is.
I stopped reading after the first whopping great lie and decided it was going to be exactly like all of the posts by James 90210 - two-bit propaganda.

Jolly good read, made me lol.
And he is right in that MC managed to tarnish a reputation that could have been epic. But his conclusion that it was cowardice may be wrong; it could easily have been plain stupidity.

Good read. All the BoB people who think it is rubbish should explain why BoB failing to finish off their enemies long before they were pushed into their last region is different from their successfull defense of Delve.

Good read James. I liked your work before you were a goon, and it's good to see you haven't given them up even though you've picked a side. It's funny how many ****posters come crawling out of the woodwork when you make these 4000 word walls of text to claim that you couldn't be any more wrong, without explaining what exactly was wrong with your analysis.
I'd be interested in seeing a less biased analysis coming from anyone in direct opposition to you. Like any other propagandist, they'll be sure to downplay or outright ignore their failures whilst playing up their successes. Such is the way of CAOD.

I feel you pain here dude.. goonfleet is the target of too many ****posters.. you should consider asking CCP to nerf ****posters, as they are obviously overpowered..

His whole wall of text post is basically one big smack. Molle posts are arrogant but thats the way BOB rolls. This James dude is just a bitter troll with a big chip on his shoulder.
He has tried to construct his post in a sort of diagnosis of what he has seen and what he thinks others are thinking and then just cemented the whole lot together with smack. I will give credit where credit is due but this post doesnt deserve any. It was just a hostile nasty post tbh.
Good job if that was his objective.

Ah, the concentrated essence of BoB. When we do it it's cool and awesome, when you do the same it proves how useless you are.

A good read. But a work of historical fiction and biography without interviewing the participants can never accurately reflect their positions.
The real story is both more complicated and less dramatic. It was a year full of missed opportunities which many of the participants recognized were such at the time yet events had their tide to keep them out of reach.
EVERY argument for and against each of these decisions was played out within MC's ever changing second tier of leadership. Sometimes quietly, often noisily, but increasingly divisively.
Groups, sometimes even corps, didn't want BOB blue or to shoot BOB, Goons blue or to shoot Goons, to conquer the North or to leave the North, to hold the Period Basis or to leave Period Basis, to own space or to leave space. Sometimes its a wonder that anything got done at all.
MC is gone. Its corps have diverged off in completely different directions. Some will thrive, others will fail. When we were united around a common purpose, we were marvellous and could literally level entire empires. I'll remember the good times, and hopefully learn from the bad.

I think all failures dwarf next to the epic failure of the coalition in Delve. I mean seriously. |

I don't agree. I reckon BOB and the GBC's failure to finish Goons when they were already packing to move out, D2's collapse, and MC's failure to defend a single station with more than a couple of ships ranks up there with it. But they were all for the same reason. Its a game - and the will to play in crap game mechanics waxes and wanes.

a better title would have been "300 minutes" warning people how long it would take them to read it.
deadtear kinda makes your post lol though.
i got bored and stopped reading it after the 1st page, but i'm sure it was all very interesting.
There are about 4500 words. Assuming you aren't half ******** and can read at the very minimum of 300 words a minute (fairly low reading level). It would have taken around 15 minutes to read only his posts. At least try to exaggerate well.
....oh, you're in BoB. Lol, I shoulda known. 15 words a minute is probably pretty high for someone in BoB.
You got him good there, *chuckles*

Nice read, cheers :) To bad Roadkill (the new goons) will want to spoil it :P
New goons? How the hell do we get dragged into this post?
Is this somehow reference to when MC failed in FVCKAS space?
Take your "new goon" comment and shove it.

Nice read.
I loved the vain irony.
It's hardly objective, but it's about as fair and balanced as you get on CAOD. Somewhere between the random propaganda and coloured recollections on this forum lies some semblance of accuracy.

Most people have no idea why we really turned on BOB. Most dont really care either, and if confronted with the real reasons, im sure, would tell us they werent the REAL reasons.
Dont assume you know the whole story based on outside writeups. There was a lot more to it than goonie dude wrote about. But no one wants to hear the truth, cause people like to bash to much on here. Anything that might take ammo away from that is ignored.

That was an amazing read, thank you. Good recall of everything that happened around and about the last year or so, kinda like a summary of most decent forum posts through-out the months. A very long summary.
