Strong accusations from the Gallente Federation. Best watch your step or it will be Dodixie next. |

It seems like they turned into the standard "I I can't be sure of a win i won't even try" types of players EVE has always had, rather than the bold Rifter flying "screw it, it's a game, CHARGE" types they used to be. But it's not they cant be sure of a win, they can be sure of a loss if engaging in direct combat. The enemy has more players, more supers and an infinite unbreakable warchest. It's the same thing that any other group would do in their position, hell, it's what PL did when they fell back after B-R instead of pushing forwards. As much as you may think it's just the leadership, rank and file goons don't want to lose all their SRP and their own assets fighting a futile war either.
Marginally more players. MBC fleet numbers peaked at ~3000. The Imperium was 40k strong at the start so for matching numbers of 3000 would require of 7.5% participation across the coalition. That's it. An entirely achievable number considering it was a fight in your home space for the survival of that space.
So for years goons et al sit around telling everybody they are not in EVE for small gang and skirmishes but for the huge narrative driven wars, and here one is, on their doorstep, and.....they can't be bothered to log in for it.
Supers have negligible use in Fozziesov and as for warchests, where has 6-7 years of ratting taxes, rental income, r64, technetium bubble, FW exploit and market manipulations ISK gone?
BRAVE knew they weren't going to win the war but they still killed Hurley's titan, won a station with a t1 cruiser having final shot against a super fleet, and formed 1000 to defend their home station on the eve of defeat. TEST drove fleet after fleet of battleships into dreadnoughts in 6VDT, reshipping three, four, five times in the night and made gaming history. WALLTREIPERS held out in a one single system while massively outnumbered, dropping supers on SBUs right under everyone's nose. All those stories they can take away and will last forever because they realised it was only a game they were playing.
The only thing Imperium will be remembered for is being basic bitches who gave up and ran away, or were too scurred over their imaginary pixels to even take part in the first place. |

Those would all be good points, if the Imperium were the innocent victim minding its own business and suddenly found itself being invaded. and had to survive.
Except, it was the Imperium itself who claimed they were going to make everyone "bend the knee and enjoy the benefits of The Imperium, or be evicted and replaced with someone who will" and, on top of viceroying the whole of nullsec, somehow thought they would make incursion into lowsec to take their moons as well just for laughs. So effectively they were planning to take on all that makes up the MBC today.
Obviously, at that time, they didn't consider themselves a coalition of "inactives or alts" or otherwise they would never have tried such a thing.
Never in the history of this game have I seen the self-perception of a group, the delusions of grandeur, and the nonstop chest beating just soooooooooo far removed from the actual reality of things. |

You keep saying "it's just a game" and you're right, so since games are designed for entertainment, what entertainment value is there in throwing ISK away on a sure loss? And why do your own fleets disengage when they meet overwhelming numbers since welping fleets is supposedly so fun?
You keep saying "sure loss", I guess if you've already talked yourself into it, then it becomes true.
FYI: every Deklein timer I have entosed has been in a half fit sabre. I actually think "I'm a sitting duck here, if anyone bothers to come I'm pretty much dead".
Last night Ya0 passively regen'd back to secure because literally no one bothered to show at all.
These would be "sure wins", if anyone cared enough to try, except they don't. |
