Tri will beat almost everyone with even odds. So how do you make sure this doesnt happen? By bringing more people in.
It should come to no surprise that the NC is going to bring outrageous numbers to fight a few. Unfortunately the game is not ready or capable of handling this type of fighting style. Most of the time I would say give me 80 competant pilots over 400 chumps. However as I said already the game itself cannot handle that fight. The system will lag, and no amount of skill can overcome mechanics and lack of hamsters.
That is why I like fighting in smaller numbers, it shows how 5 skilled players can destroy 40-50-60 even with no threat. I am saddened to see the NC resort to this style of play, but both sides want to ensure victory, for whatever reason and both will do so the best they can.
One will bring their most skilled pilots and one will bring as many as they can get a hold of.

Unfortunately, size matters. ;) In WW2 Germany had soldier for soldier the best military but they were worn down by numbers.
Taking the RL politics out of it, small time PvP corps are much the same beast, they are well drilled, well equipped and have very good experience but politics is as important as your military capability.
Hydra is no much for Tri person for person in a military sense but there is no such thing as a fair fight in a war. EVE isn't about gladiatorial combat, they have those events from time to time but it has no bearing on the game.
I just don't understand the insanity of taking on an entity that you KNOW blob and then whine about blobbing. It is not like they are chasing you down and you complain because you can't compete, you look for the fights. You know the NC player for player doesn't have the same kind of skilled pilots because they do not pirate so don't have the same amount of smalls scale combat experience so they will use their size to their advantage and play the meta game of forcing you out of the style of fighting you prefer.
I just don't see the point of taking them on and complaining about it. There are a lot of good merc and pirate corps that would bring smaller numbers of highly skilled small scale combat pilots to the fight but Tri doesn't target those corps so I have no sympathy at all for Tri.

I think you are missing the point. Tri has always stated the Blob will come and welcomed it, hell even the post you are quoting states it wasn't a surprise.
It's the node crashing/massive lag monster blobs that Tri is complaining about. That tactic may "win" the war but everyone loses because no one is able to play the game.

I don't think anyone likes the server issues, EVE really handles mass combat very poorly and is not designed well to pull it off.
Poor server conditions does not allow NC to adequately take advantage of their numerical superiority. I am sure they would love nothing more than a lag free server.
While the post I quoted wasn't whining about the NC and numbers, in general the Tri forum warriors do nothing but whine about it. I just wanted to raise that point and it was one of the rare Tri posts that wasn't a flat out whine about numbers, lag and napfests.

The point is that gamebreaking server lag isn't an unfortunate side-effect of the NC strategy: it's the primary focus of the NC strategy. They deliberately bring that many because it breaks the server. Tri have proved time and again that they're willing to engage superior numbers, but doing that requires that the server be responsive enough to allow pilot and player skill to matter. NC FCs have shown time and again that even 2:1 superiority isn't enough for them to engage unless they also have lag. The critical point seems to be around 2.5-3:1 - with more than 3:1, they'll engage. With less, there's a chance. Below 2.5:1 they'll usually withdraw.
The disappointment with KIA is that they should choose to align with such people. The kind of people who watch 300 and say "I would totally join in on the Persian side!"

Once again. It was quite well known how NC fights before you attacked it's weakest member (already that is kinda lame as everyone and their mother knows that tri is far better than hydra). If you don't want lag attack someone who is good enough that they don't need server breaking numbers to fight you. But I guess it's harder to pad stats against that kind of oponent.

Who then?
Nearly every space holding alliance has some pact with others to defend space, and lots of them won't fight unless you make a move on their space which then brings the blob. Give me a list of alliances and we'll work through them shall we? End of the day we took out Hydra because they were weak and close to empire and provided the space to get fights we knew the blob would come but we didn't expect them to hang about as we've already broken sov 4 so they are arriving late. All the while the GBC is in Deklein killing off IRON....

Originally by: Helen You'll probably evade this question but do you think if TRI comes for KIA/Daisho you can stop us by yourselves?
Guess we will see Helen, you come without BoBs caps as backup, and your caps are already dead, we both know that. The residents of Geminate arent just Daisho and KIA, and when you need to got work on KIAs Sov3 systems, we'll all enjoy showing how they should be defended.
NC will be reset neut once you have left Hydra space, and vice versa, their is no illusions here. We arent here for a Blue Blue love triangle, we are here to make sure that our space holding neighbours remain as they are.
KIA Daisho and of course the other Geminate residents aren't Hydra, your leadership maybe getting your troops all wound up about KIA and promising "they will get theirs" in an attempt to deflect "yet another failure from Tri" when Hydras space is returned inevitably to its prevoious owners, but the reality of taking our space with 100 men, and 40 caps is a lot harder than maybe you give credit.
Either way if geminate is your next stop, I am sure the residents are already wetting their lips.
Who said we want your space? Maybe UDIE will just farm you for abit instead.

ya know for 2 "elite PVP alliances", 1 being Merc (KIA) 1 being "Balls to The wall PVP" (Triumvirate) you 2 sure do talk a lot on COAD.
How about you just leave COAD to the Goons and BoB and I don't know....
Test who's the best without playing forum warriors?
I mean.... KIA did good in the alliance tourney, so did Tri. Perhaps get someone to fraps it and BLAMMO instant fun for all!
Anyways, I respect both KIA & Tri for what both have done but really this forum-warrior is beginning to just become plain stupid

Believe it or not, alot of people enjoy the terrible soap opera that is CAOD. And alot of people post from work, so at any given time, people from every alliance can be commenting or smacking away on CAOD. Some have CAOD bans, some dont speak english well, some just see themselves as above it, but just about every spaceholding alliance posts on here once in a while, some more than others. TRI are caod *****s, just accept it. MM used to be really silent and modest on CAOD but then after trisurge they seemed to have changed that. RZR is well, they have always been sorta smacky, but it was more fun back in TRI 1.0, before any real conflicts. And of course, TRI, like goons, or bob, or anyone else, smacks and forum warriors on CAOD. Just like you guys all expect us to suck up the lag because everyone knows it exists, I say suck up our forum whoring, its to be expected. Enjoi :)

i still wonder
refusing 20 Bill isk to fight... cause it's too dangereous
showing up less than a day later in the same area you're supposed to be according the refused contract ..... hmmmmm
either somebody is lieing or somebody filled his pockets without telling the rest of his alliance or you're more stupid than i thought. executing the contract without getting paid, yeah right
so Edzzzzz, how deep are your pockets and how much have they already dumped into them? i'm sure it must be close to 60 bil if you need a new titan

Thats true about almost any alliance is it not? Given enough time and space even the noobiest of alliances will build up massive isk reserves and capital fleets.
But ye I get your point. I still remember a KM from way way back (a year or so almost) of Tri i think it was fielding like 12 motherships and a bunch of "normal" capitals...

Thus the choice to attack one of them while the main naplander blob is fighting on another front. They can't bring game-breaking blobs to both fronts simultaneously. They have the numbers to fight both bob and tri with about a 1.5-2:1 advantage, but not enough to do that and lagsploit their way through a fight.
And one reason to fight them is try to discredit the idea that such strategies must inevitably prevail. If they come to realise that breaking the server is not an I-win button, then they'll maybe try other stuff. Like, you know, attacking when they only have an 80% numerical advantage. Crazy off-the-wall stuff like that.
Maybe the attempt will succeed, maybe it won't. It's as good a reason to fight as any.

We didnt want to commit caps with BoB about tbh, and we really didnt fancy POS warefare, in fact it would probably end up in mutiny if I had accepted.
We are here simply because we dont have anything intersting to do, and given the choice we choose Hydra over Tri as neighbours, for the obvious reasons.
We know you face the blob, which generally we would agree with you is fkin sucky, but given the choice of good for you or good for us, their is only one choice.
Fight in CF was fun tonight, very funny benny hill stuff.
