Today was the first time in a while that I spent a full afternoon and evening in EVE, and it was nonstop pew pew action. Keep up the good fight. |

Standings.
Even if people were so inclined, FW regulars have generally wrecked their standings with the opposing side too much to swap. The only alternative, really, is to swap warzones and fight for your allied faction.
And anyways, we still get lots of pew pew right now.

It's interesting hearing about recent events from the Caldari perspective. While we hear second-hand about all the drama, we don't often get the full scoop on internal planning, upper-level decisions, etc. And many of us are indeed wondering where all the isk went after the Caldari hit T5 several times post-Inferno.
Aside from what has been stated elsewhere in the thread, there are a couple additional reasons why Gallente Militia tends to persevere. First is that many of the major groups are dedicated to FW, rather than treating it as a stepping stone to somewhere else. The second is that many of us are comfortable with being the underdogs, and are rather resilient to setbacks on the war front.
On the first point, the Caldari militia has repeatedly suffered from corporations and alliances making a big impact, drawing in skilled pilots and FCs, and then setting off for greener pastures. Usually, the final destination is nullsec. In Gallente Militia, the major organizations are either focused on FW and low-sec, or have already tried nullsec and found that lifestyle lacking. We're all familiar with the advantages of accessible low-sec PvP. By comparison, there's a distinct lack of appeal in structure-grinding, TiDi, and a strategic 'metagame' based on node-crashing.
And if things get dull in our area, we can always liven things up by moving headquarters, trying out the other war-zone, or taking 'field trips' into interesting areas of space. We've actually done this a lot. SLAPD even threw themselves into the Alliance Tournament, doing quite well for an insane troupe of goggle-collectors.
The second reason is the fact that GalMil is used to being the underdog in the sov war. A lot of the veteran members (not myself, mind) have been in Gallente militia since the Federation controlled a grand total of 0 systems in the warzone. They were there when GalMil pulled itself out of that hole and clawed its way back to parity. Even after that point, GalMil as a whole is accustomed to being outnumbered and always on the verge of losing space. Up until recently (and even now!), CalMil has had an edge in daily victory points and sheer numbers of pilots.
All this has made many of the GalMil regulars rather blase about facing adversity or ceding parts of the map to the enemy. When we read the Fast Forward patch notes, many of us honestly thought that CalMil would get their act together and steamroll 40-60 systems over the course of the week. We were laying out frank plans about which systems to cling to as our 'must-have' bases. We were prepared to fight out of those toeholds in order to claw our way to tier 2.
And even if that was how it turned out, most of us would still be here, fighting the fight. Being part of Gallente militia means accepting the fact that you're usually working against the odds. And if we lost our home systems, we'd probably just move and be annoying elsewhere in the warzone.
tl;dr - We're here for the pew pew and we're planning on keeping up the fight, 'win' or 'lose.' This mindset helps explain the success and resilience of the Gallente militia.
P.S. Of course, we're still playing to win. |

To be fair, I hope his posts bring a 2000 man alliance to the Caldari side. Just sayin...
Me too. Fighting the Nulli horde was some of the most fun I've had in FW.

Fact is that your information is out of date. ALL systems are being defended to some degree. Seems like you are living 6 months in the past.
I guess that's why I see that Caldari has taken another system at the end of the map and that there are 16+/- systems currently in hands of Galentte that are over 50% contested with the bulk of those being over 60%. I also notice that Ikoskio that was flipped by Cladari what a week or so ago has already been flipped back. You guys are doing nothing more than what was done before, under the last version of FW Farm War 2.0 , with the allowing systems to be taken, so they can be farmed back. The whole thing is a joke and you know just as well as I do that if LP's were removed and it was just fight for war zone control & docking rights no one would even travel to any of the systems out side of the handful of PVP arena systems, because the only ones going to those systems now are the farmers.
Farmers aren't retaking those systems and holding the line. We're doing so in PvP ships.
Stop drawing conclusions based on mixing your preconceptions with casual examinations of the starmap. Your opinions are growing increasingly divorced from the reality in the game.
If you spent as much time PvPing as you did forum warrior-ing, your faction would be that much better off. |

Kind of like the people who post so much that they've forgotten how to play. |
