The Mittani Caldari GoonFleet GoonSwarm	Posted - 2008.12.08 14:50:00 - [1] Edited by: The Mittani on 08/12/2008 14:50:27 nostalgia is a fallacy in eve just as elsewhere; people revise history into a rosier picture than it was in early 2006 there were four power blocs (soco, ra, d2, bob) today there are four power blocks (rsf, nc, bob, aaa/se/rol) while i think titan doomsdays are the stupidest addition to the game since the t2 bpo lottery, the core complaint of your op has nothing to do with 1. reality 2. titans or jump bridges ps: this is actually a remarkably serious thread i don't know why i am adding to this disease with a real reply, must be slipping
The Mittani Caldari GoonFleet GoonSwarm	Posted - 2008.12.08 15:12:00 - [2] Originally by: Aceoil To destroy a power bloc, one has to think outside the blox. or have bob help steal their targets

The Mittani Caldari GoonFleet GoonSwarm	Posted - 2008.12.08 16:39:00 - [4] Originally by: Aya Its not hard, 1. Blue everything in site (Goons already did this) 2. Call all your friends in a 30 man corp attacks you (Goons did this) 3. Smack on forums how elite your alliance is (Another check for goons) I'd say you already have the politics down therefore I do not need to teach you much more oh hey thank you maybe you can teach me how to improve my k/d ratio next
The Mittani Caldari GoonFleet GoonSwarm	Posted - 2008.12.08 16:51:00 - [5] are you suggesting that goonswarm has no honor and blobs? why my god i'd better quit the alliance right now whats next, metagaming?
The Mittani Caldari GoonFleet GoonSwarm	Posted - 2008.12.08 16:55:00 - [6] ok so let me get this straight goodfellas and tri are itt whining about powerblocs and napfests yet they only have their space on account of being bob-installed pets live by the sword, etc
The Mittani Caldari GoonFleet GoonSwarm	Posted - 2008.12.08 16:57:00 - [7] Originally by: Heath Ledger Well I would argue that although no one cares about the drone regions, the folks out there are a third power bloc as well. Not that that in any way helps, but just something to think about. that's the expanded RA + independent oligarchs bloc (death and mactep's crew)

The Mittani Caldari GoonFleet GoonSwarm	Posted - 2008.12.08 17:20:00 - [9] Edited by: The Mittani on 08/12/2008 17:20:54 Originally by: Wesley Baird Please try and stay on topic, if you feel the game is heading in the right direction fine, make that statement. If you believe changes to various mechanics can improve the game for the better for most people post your idea's...if you will notice, some people who are enjoying the success of their respective powerblocs have posted great ideas and suggestions rather than played the political game. the core assumption of the topic has been debunked (4 powerblocs in 2006, 4 powerblocs in 2008) all that remains is to point out the motivation behind those whining the loudest itt (tri, goodfellas) and expose the real issue: they are upset about losing their space. my position re: titan doomsdays being dumb is hardly a new contribution, the best fleet slugfest we've had in ages was in vng when titans were broken due to a bug, it was a massive battle with tremendous casualties and no one-click fight enders edit: IMPORTANT UPDATE: ~fart~
The Mittani Caldari GoonFleet GoonSwarm	Posted - 2008.12.08 18:37:00 - [10] Originally by: Wesley Baird Originally by: The Mittani the core assumption of the topic has been debunked (4 powerblocs in 2006, 4 powerblocs in 2008) I disagree as all four you indicated are in fact aligned down the middle...meaning we have a GBC side of things and a Goons/NC side of things. I suspect that relatively soon there could very well be one aligned side with the other broken. I hope this is not the case, but I cannot see how the GBC side of things can withstand the combined power of Goons/NC powerbloc. NC alone can field 200+ dreads, combine that with the large capital fleet of the Goons and Drone regions and you have a capital fleet that is unstoppable. I don't want to derail this thread, as the discussion for the most part has been excellent! I hope CCP is reading! the biggest issue regarding the extended lifespan of a powerbloc revolves around how well set up their 'core space' is in terms of sov4 and outposts you'll find that the core areas of the primary blocs have layered sov4 and serious investment in infrastructure due to the way cyno jammers and sov4 works, the major blocs mostly scuffle in the outlying border areas. the combination of sov4, jammers and doomsdays/remote ecm gives heavy advantages to a defender therefore, regions people don't care about that much get traded and fought over extensively, but the core territories of the blocs don't change much because they're a proverbial brick wall: delve is a fortress, ten/det is likewise, and I'm sure that the same goes for the core RA and RZR territories
The Mittani Caldari GoonFleet GoonSwarm	Posted - 2008.12.08 19:02:00 - [11] Originally by: Han Lector Blue standings should cost ISK, like empire war does. You can set a corp or alliance blue, but you will have to pay fee for each pilot in that corp/alliance. That would make blue standings temporary and it would prevent NAPfests. diplomacy is part of the game, cope we do
