(nice hat Molle)
For at least two years, the dominant conflict in the game has been between two alliances known as Band of Brothers and Goonswarm. Band of Brothers, known as BOB, is a wealthy, elite (some would say elitist) group that many players simultaneously admire, fear and despise. Goonswarm is a proudly profane group that conducts highly effective psychological warfare alongside its military campaigns. Like the members of BOB, Goons are also simultaneously admired, feared and despised by many Eve players.
Perhaps the most famous, powerful player in Eve is a character called SirMolle, leader of BOB. In real life he is Par Molen, a 41-year-old manager for a heating-and-cooling systems company in Sweden. Shortly after CCP, the company that makes Eve, convened its player council in Iceland, Mr. Molen welcomed more than 150 players from more than 15 countries to the annual weeklong BOB barbecue near Copenhagen.
At the barbecue Mr. Molen unveiled a new strategy called Max, for Maximum Damage. While most Eve campaigns center on taking and controlling regions of space, BOBÆs new Maximum Damage doctrine focuses on simply pillaging and destroying the territories of others.
ôOur goal is to control all of Eve,ö Mr. Molen said in an interview over an Internet voice chat program. ôItÆs totally impossible to claim all of Eve physically. But itÆs possible to control the people. ItÆs possible to control the alliances, be it by economic means or fighting means or political means. That was the goal and that is the goal.ö

BoB is far too careful to accomplish this anyways.
Might sound good at a BBQ pep rally tho.

I would like to congratulate BoB on this revolutionary new strategy of sending ships to your enemy's space to try and kill as many people as you can.

That really is a halfassed article, that's pretty **** poor for the NYTimes. It just abruptly ends with no further explanation. Nice hat though. ----------------

I gotta say, regardless of the relative merits of Max, it is somewhat impressive to announce this in the New York Times. Not that the paper is the bastion of journalistic integrity it once was, but it seems that at least one of the writers is an Eve fan. That's the only way I can think of to explain this puff piece...

I realise Sir Molle must have submitted those details along with permission to publish them but it would frighten me to do so i think. I would be afraid because having all those real life details revealed in what should be an anonymous thing is bad, maybe i'm just paranoid. Just dont answer the door if a strange voice say's "pizza!!"
however congratulations are due for appearing in NYT, so very well done old boy. :)

very cool, appearing in the New York Times for anything that won't make you criminally infamous is definitely a pretty decent accomplishment regardless of why.
And that is one awesome hat. --

Edited by: Toman Jerich on 28/06/2008 07:22:45 Okay. So they're going to use glass-cannon BS to take down cynojammers then bring in 150 cap ships to one-cycle all the towers in a system, ****-sock it for two days so as to completely dominate the system the whole time, blow up all the POS, then leave. Or you can pay them a tribute of 10 bil/month or whatever for them to leave you alone.
This sounds a great way to never shoot another spaceship again.

Control all of eve. Control alliances. Blah blah blah.
Where in the interview does it discuss you hiding behind cynojammers and 7 titans logged in 23/7?
I wouldn't bring this up if you were so consistently arrogant. Youw ant to control eve when you held off goons with, while admittedly arguable, an exploit. Call it a troll if you want, but it's the truth - and your hubris is astounding.
Try it again and I'll be the first one on the bandwagon to smack you the **** down. Your arrogance cost you most of your space once, I'dve figured such a leet alliance as yours would learn from your mistakes.
Apparently not.
Laughable.

I think you've missed a vital point in the article. SirMolle's hat is better than my leopard print safari hat.
