A very long-winded thread just to say:
"BoBs intensive testing has shown AAA still have not removed the Goon Capital Fleet. BoB are going back to shooting stations that haven't been used for so long, not even the autopilot can show you how to get there while AAA get on with their allotted task."

Thing is only BoB and EXE are actually down here. EXE are usually doing there own thing. No other GBC alliances are involved. Besides the odd guy that tries to tag along with us.
hehehe, EXE have never struck me as the independent type - luckily it can't be a problem, as this streak of independence coincides with the orders they're given.
It's good that you're downplaying the numbers you have though, shows BoB still has it's pride if nothing else. I don't think you're that convincing though.

Is that's why you only engage when you have double the numbers?
In a sea of posts that are little more now than formulaic, paint-by-numbers style constructs (why BoB insist on trying to immitate goons is beyond me - it's so artificial) this one stands out. BoB only attacks their 'arch enemy' when a stronger force is already doing so, brings their pet clunk squad along with them and then complains about being blobbed?
I've no doubt goons will inevitably fall with the forces arrayed against them, but they seem to be doing damage and have already spawned Goons-Lite - formerly known as BoB, they don't do the posts so well but they are making a name for themselves in the Capital ship loss and comedy antics department.

Because I can show you hundreds of battles when BoB won outnumbered.
I've seen them on your killboard, it goes back several years. My point was that that BoB no longer exists. As evidenced by your posting, maybe you really believe what you're saying, but if you care to actually look at your own killboards recent fleetbattles then you'll see that in the vast majority of fights, you had the higher numbers. Which is what caused me to post, because you're complaining that they only engage with double numbers when infact they usually engage with less and probably cheaper/smaller ships to boot. Bear in mind they are also fighting not only the BoB Pet Clunk Squad, they're also fighting other alliances such as AAA and whatever balloons they could drag in as pets.
But hey!, it's ok you're in GoonLite(formerly known as BoB) you're meant to be spamming the forum with nonsense in a completely zany and irreverential manner.

(PS, ask Avon for advice on how to post like a goon, you're doing it all wrong at the moment and are standing out like a sore thumb - you're letting your team down.)

The only reason BoB stats are not like they used to be is CCP and I am gona explain why later on.
Killboard stats have nothing to do if campaign won or lost. BoB won most sov campaigns that I can remember and are gona win most of the future campaigns too. With worst killboard stats but they gona win them, bcs to win a campaign you need 3 things:
a) Determination
b) isk
c) skill (as how to play the game and not skill as sp)
BoB has all 3 of them and gona have all 3 of them in the future too.
Now as far as the worse stats and why is that CCPs fault.
CCP introduced T2 years ago and stopped introducing new technologies.
The high skilled players reached lvl5 at most of their needed skills and they dont have anything else to advance, so they advance irelevant skills or skills that are not much needed in combat.
So low skilled players or to say it better, players that started the game in a later point had the time to catch up and bring equivalent ships in combat.
So the quality of BoB (in mater of equiptment) is lost.
There is still a quality adantage in how they play the game but BoB is loosing more ships that they used to.
If CCP had introduced T5 (like the begin plans were) till now BoB would have the same old kb stats, but CCP changed their plans, for the good of EVE.
Anyway go ahead goons and twist my words, I dont care
Now that's a BoB post. See you don't have to try and immitate Goons all the time?
So what you're saying is, everything was peachy until some rogue CCP member came up with Invention which brought affordable ships and equipment to all nullifying the advantage BoB had built its reputation on. Just a joke, you said that it levelled the playing field for the good of Eve.
But since Invention BoB now loses what???...6 or 7 regions in the space of a couple of months? 2 Titans in a week? 50 capital ships to the worst players in the game? No, seriously, anything BoB once had has long since gone, I don't think it's possible to recapture it with the decision to turn away from your chosen targets when things get a little tough and jump into the slipstream of AAA - particularly as you managed to keep your capital ship losses up - that really doesn't sound like the 'determination' and the 'skill of players' that you were talking about.

Here is a summary of the fight in 0-W so far:
BoB shows up along with Exe a week ago.
BoB loses entire cap fleet while trying to kill a tower.
BoB have been doomsdayed countless times and lost so many fleets they hardly ever leave their POS shields now.
BoB find themselves in a worse position as far as tower majority than they when they first attacked a week ago
BoB have failed in several attempts to drop the cyno jammer throughout the course of multiple days.
Over the last few days, -A- has needed to show up with fleets to protect BoB's towers as they exit reinforced during BoB's prime time.
In summary, they've been here a week and have nothing to show for it other than a wrecked capital fleet and great practice at scooting back into the shields the moment anything hostile enters grid.
Do not despair though BoB. Atlas is here now along with several corps of former Tri. Your saviors have arrived and it isn't even Christmas yet!
I see.
I agree with Metal Dude, goons should only bring the same number as BoB have so BoB can wipe all the goons out with the help of happening to be at their own tower.
Then BoB can take out the cyno jammer so they don't need to ask AAA for help saving their towers. If they had say 10 Carriers they could rep their tower themeselves, I imagine when in Triage mode carriers can do a lot of repping in just one cycle and if you happen to have cloaked BSs nearby you could always bump the carriers back into the shield if anything turns up to kill them. It would be unprecedented tactical genius and could confound everyone while they try to find a way to counter it.
BoB can then look great again and tell pathetic Empire dwellers like me how amazing they are without their noses starting to extend, it'll be just like 2005 all over again and everyone in BoB will rejoice and want to post about it.

You actually believe that his summary is accurate? We have only lost 1 fleet to doomsday and we have barely even attacked their cyno jammer, we have been having a good time raping goon battleship fleets and killing caps with our mobile pos guns instead :)
I doubt its any more accurate than any other summary on CAOD.
Metal Dude appeared to miss out some important details as well. Why not even attempt to remove the cyno jammer? or is a 'BoB attack' still planting a POS then expecting the defenders to do the attacking?
I do think goons are doomed, but I can't see the way you're going about it is going to improve your reputation especially as it's on the back of another 'arch enemies' bandwagon.
"We blued our enemies are brought all our pets and destroyed the worst players in the game" just doesn't have a ring to it. It'll take a very long time as well if you're not actually attacking the systems, just defending your POSs - or is that Against Some Authorities role?
