Apparently BoB's not dead.
Let's hope they rise from the ashes; and under the protection of Texas Law, become the new entity to hate (though I'm more likely to laugh). |

Every time anyone leaves SMA people keep throwing it about on reddit like it's the end of the alliance, and yet here we still are. Tosses the bait....catches the fish.
Almost instantly. Spin to go with it as well.
I think I can go a lighter line next cast. Landing them is simple. |

Although, at this rate: http://puu.sh/oart3/3516009094.png all the fish will be gone soon. Sov in decline. Outposts in decline, corporations in decline. Rate of decline growing. Fail cascade on the cards. Do you not see the irony in you spinning then claiming I'm spinning? We certainly may not survive this but as of yet that's not the case. As it stands some popular names have gone and we've lost a big chunk of space. We've still got active leadership, we're still operating under SRP and have solid logistics. That's the verifiable truth with zero spin. 2 for 2.
I think I just need a hand reel. |

But I do aspire to making my sperging to the next level. One day maybe.
Unfortunately until then, I'll have to be an amateur rather than a pro sperglord like yourself. Seems to be the one thing SMA are good at. |

Why do warp stabs, nullfied ships and cloaks even exist? Why don't people fill ships with plex and fly headlong into war targets scream "YAY CONTENT".
People are all fine with running and hiding until it's their enemy doing it, then suddenly it's bad form. Because most people are carebears and incredibly risk averse. Yep, pretty much agreed, that's EVE. Why is it suddenly a problem now goons are doing it? This is such rubbish that is commonly posted in the forum.
Docking up in the face of uncontrollable risk doesn't make you risk averse, whether you are a bee guy or someone else.
It's just simply that people are not openly suicidal with their assets when they face a situation they correctly conclude they can't win. There are the rare 420blazeit types who just go for it anyway, but even they don't do that all the time.
If you are faced with a level of risk you know you can't counter, avoiding that situation doesn't mean you are risk averse. It just means in that one particular encounter you weren't in a position to control it, either to make you stronger or to at least make the odds relatively even.
There are a lot of players who undock when things are even'ish and take a risk. But what's the point undocking to just be hammered. That isn't fun for most people unless there is another motivating factor.
But this stupid call of 'risk aversion' is silly. Goons have shown over and over that they aren't risk averse, so why all of a sudden are they now. They aren't. They have just correctly surmised they can't win certain engagements, so would prefer to save their ships rather than feed fun to the enemy. That seems a perfectly reasonable decision that most would make. |

If you take a closer look at the war chest of your members and not only on the corp chest IWI is a pauper! Of course they can't. Aside from IWI being able to rake in trillions legitimately, they can also shill out extra isk when they need it, and there's no way of stopping them. On the other hand, everything goons to to make isk can be stopped by their enemies. This is what happens when only one side has to play by the game mechanics and the other is free to use a third party application instead. Weren't some SMA members part of the IWI network?
Isn't a theft by SMA of 300 Billion a big part of the motivation for IWI to fund the allies?
Seems, if the bee guys and the broader Emporium want to now complain about IWI, then possibly they shouldn't have killed the golden goose. Then they could still be taking in that same ISK you are now complaining about.
Apparently ok while SMA are slurping at the trough, but bad after they've shot themselves in the foot. |

Just saw this on Polygon and not posted anywhere so far. Interesting read:
http://www.polygon.com/2016/4/20/11467726/meet-the-gambling-kingpin-funding-eve-onlines-biggest-war
Much better article than that disaster piece posted a few days ago. |

You completely ignore what others say and keep stating the same BS.
Maybe now you've realized that you'll stop, but I doubt it. |

Lucas Kell wrote:No, it's an undeniable fact that they gain an unfair advantage, and now in addition there's more evidence that they RMT (which you'll note is something else I've said all along).
It's truly unbelievable that you can see this much against them, from reputable sources like Nosy no less, and still try to claim that you're defense of them is completely neutral. Judging by other people's comments elsewhere you might find your side is a pretty lonely place before too long. Why has this thread switched to talking about the multi-dollar media empire?
Oh hang on....apparently it hasn't. OK, RMT away Emporium. |

You post evidence of IWI RMT. You seem to be against them for it with no evidence.
What individual bankers have been banned for is no different to what a number of indivual goons have also been banned for. Individuals actions don't equate to systemic processes, unless you apply that same standard to both organisations. |

Individuals actions don't equate to systemic processes, unless you apply that same standard to both organisations. Lol? So CCP's director of security saying that if it were up to him all 12 bankers would have been permabanned, that's not evidence enough? You literally just have you and other grr goons players stating "hurf blurf Emporium RMT". I mean hell, you haven't even given a good explanation of how they would RMT without being caught, because let's face it, you've not thought it out. This is why pretty much everything you say gets dismissed. At the end of the day though you can keep trying to stand by your ever diminishing group of IWI cheerleaders in denying it, but you can't deny the truth forever. If they had been RMTing, they would have been banned. That's the concrete evidence that is available.
That hasn't happened. Plain, simple, verifiable, objective.
The only hurt blurf that gets dismissed here is the rubbish you post.
I'm not grrr gons. I quite like them. I also like having fun, so it's just playing the game. But overall, I admire what gons have done in the past. Not so much lately.
The only thing I dislike is the tears and whining now occurring because you've lost. You're happy when it's just gons dominating, when it's just gons doxxing, when it's just gons controlling the narrative of the metagame.
But crying and whining incessantly because you are losing is pathetic and worth making lots of fun of, especially as you're incapable of not responding.
