Much has been said of this war.
Much has been said of what BoB are, what BoB does, what BoB doesn't. The sins attributed to BoB, they say, are beyond all doubt.
The best strategies are often the simplest. When Band of Brothers announced it was going to war without stating details, there was much speculation and assumption made on all sides; often at the neglect of logic. In a great effort to make well on their motto, ASCN leadership employed the tools of hate and fear - crying of every foul in the book. And in the process of demonizing us theyÆve also supplied two fundamental parameters to our mighty war machine: Who? Why?
In attacking ASCN, we fully expected to pay a dear price. An irresistible force versus an immovable object, perhaps. It is with great distaste that we found the first reaction of ASCN to our assault was immediate and unseemly panic.
If there is anything apparent in this war so far, it is that ASCN is feeling the cold, chilling tendrils of fear creep into the hearts of their alliance. Upon the reptilian wings of this fear fly the spectres that are so vivid, that there often is no recourse but to deny reality and cling to illusions.
It is the slow march of madness that follows next.
A madness that strikes out at phantoms in all directions, mistaking them for manifestations of the fear in their minds. Yet the very source of the darkness lies clearly in front of them. They are just unwilling to face it.
Fear is the mind killer.
GQ2 and H8-ZTO are ours now. They are the price you pay for believing that dividing a disorganized force and carrying out attacks with no purpose is a superior strategy to dealing with the inadequacies of your fleet. The division of your forces has only served to our benefit, as your various groups will then enjoy a mix of inconsequential victories and horrendous losses. Being goverened by the fear of taking responsibility for a focused effort, your High Command has chosen instead to cleave deep gashes in your ranks. Who is to blame now for the loss of GQ2 and H8-ZTO? Who shall take responsibility?
You have lost Paragon Soul. The name itself symbolic in that BoB is now as a paragon of the soul of war, fighting a leviathan that has no spirit. BoB does not trifle with unfocused attacks, we go straight for the throat. On the other hand ASCN has only made enemies of alliances that were not even part of this conflict.
The month long fray which saw the destruction of one thousand battleships, more than a dozen capitals, and over one hundred billion ISK worth of enemy assets is a drop in the ocean. Its greatest casualty was our expectation. Under threat of invasion, Ascendant Frontier would sooner chase phantom threats than face it head on. Marked by degrading fleet performance, would rather hire mercenaries than properly equip its own. Unable to unite on home turf, would choose sentenced death on the enemyÆs to save face. Unable to admit defeat, would continue to write fiction for excusing it.
The great sorrow in this war is that there are numerous members in ASCN that have shown the spirit to fight, yet are left hanging without support. The losses are not out of a lack of valor on the part of those in the front lines, but the lack of sensibility in those that give directions. Yet those alone are not harmful. What is harmful is that those deficiencies are coupled with a fear of accepting the need for improvement, fear for accepting the bewilderment of strategy, fear for being found wanting. Your warriors are ill served, and they fall vainly on the field of battle.
Stop pretending to hit us, and hit us.
For if you do not, then may the gods of EVE help you, because we have not yet begun to fight. We shall give you better reasons to see us as demons.
The Pendulum is still swinging.

I would like to thank SirMolle and all the other BOB ceo's for this war. Without it I would probally end up curled in a hobbit hole somewere, sleeping in old newspapers with a bottle of MD 20/20 tucked under a sleeve.

So what is it you are actually trying to convey with this rather long-winded diatribe, Molle?
That the alliance is shaking in its boots, too afraid to fight the 'Demon Hordes' of Bobbits assaulting its borders? Paralysed by fear and mesmerised by its own impending demise?
Ok then.
I'll just finish up here reading the egotistical ramblings of Eve's biggest drama queen and continue to hide in the corner.

Gratz on taking advantage of ASCNs misguided holiday to Fountain to try and boost morale, everything i've seen so far puts ASCN in a very bad light from the attack on Xelas, the mercs, attacks on Fix, pos spamming and basically kamikazi tactics. I'm not a part of the war but i damn wish my char was older and i could be lol.
Hope your momentum continues.
PS: Do bob plan to hold all of ASCNs regions or will they be sold off/rented to alliances :P lol

Fountain is in the third round, and things are going downhill for the efforts of ASCN/Celes - The aussie power which resides in xelas has been cleaning house and all i can say is; the universe presents us with new and more challenging foes with every day - why must we always strive to make new ones - eh? Why ascn, why'd you drag xelas into a war we didn't care about.

Wow im very impressed that Bob can match the industrial power or ASCN so effectively. Is this a road to destruction for ASCN wit there "attacks with no purpose" or can they pull something outta the bag, and how willing are they to put everything on the line against Bob.

While you're an alt and your post will be deleted, this is an interesting idea.
AAA says "Time to die."
Molle says "blahblahblahblahblahblahblahpwnagepwnagepwnagewewillkillyou."
Its one damn talkative pendulum!

Nice post.
To be honest ASCN should be ashamed.
How one entity can screw up so magnificently and so consistently continues to amaze me.
You have almost 5k people in the alliance, it is almost beyond belief that you can fold so quickly.
And for the record, I'm pretty neutral in this. And I'm enjoying the show.

I so like this.. we have two things here:
- from a RolePlaying perspective bob is a remendous asset to EVE. The drama in most posts deploys an awesome background.
- Human nature can't always cope with this, some people will always take it beyond what this is... a game, and take it personal, too seriously ... whatever.
Respect to all people who do what they're doing. They play the game as they want to and develop the means (or adapt) to do it. No one else can do what they currently do...
I'm curious as to what the answer is to this. Not the verbal one, ingame please. All of this coupled with SATAN's post makes for an awesome background.
As to the content of Molle's post... I'm pretty sure he's one of the most illiterate and wellwriting folks I've seen on these boards.

Yeah, its pretty incredible really, isnt it. It seems to be down to a lack of good fleet leadership, and no solid objectives by ASCN.
They have the numbers, ships, industrial power, and enough players with enough skillpoints to decisively defeat BoB.
What they lack is the same cohesion, experience, fleet commanders, and judgement.

A very well-written post ..unfortunately like most posts involving ascn/axe and other coalition members (V and LV) on this forum it will degenerate into flaming once more (you cheaters, you logoffski, you logonski, we are honourable u r not..etc).
So before that happens, let me startfirst.
To the coalition: You are losing on all fronts..RA and allies are whipping you in Scalding Pass (not to mention one of your members have already 'given up' GW, 3 of your former allies have gone, one you decided to kill) BoB is killing en masse in PS, -A- is gunning your twin in Impass and STILL you hide behind CCP so-called inactions ..adapt or die.
I wonder if it is just because you CANT fight well and you are blaming everyone who are not your friends (ever shrinking) and dying everywhere. For example,logically, if a superior fleet with superior numbers meet a logon trap prepared by a smaller number of ships. you should be able to meet the threat and you are telling everyone how with a logon trap is an 'I-Win' button? So please to the coalition, please grow some and stop whining on forums.
You underestimate your enemies and The Coalition will pay a final price. The arrogance (and self-proclaimed 'we are good guys") you have shown in the EVE world especially from ASCN and LV is incredible and I hope that BoB's pendulum as well as RA fists ends up (wayy up) your bums. |

I think that is exactly what he is saying....Allthough not a BoB fan...I think ASCN, bit of more than they can chew.
History has shown us in EVE, Every big industry based alliance will fall...if confronted by a well oiled war machine.. CFS did, Xetic did..so its in your corner to prove that its not so..go fight...

Irony... Irony... ASCN reminds me of an alliance
So much efforts to come to this... I really enjoy the irony
I just miss one thing to complete this irony of fate: ASCN worse enemies saving its ass. Yeah, that would really be the top
