It's all part of the CFC plan to take over the entire galaxy.
- Take over all the tech moons in the north.
- Stop selling technetium on the open market.
- T2 prices skyrocket.
- Laugh at everybody.
- Eventually conquer all of Eve with our unassailable T2 fleet while everyone else is stuck using T1 ships and fittings
- Get bored and reset everything.

watch them fail at eve.
Yes... we're so successful because we manipulate the game through the CSM. That's why we've got a game full of overpowered supercapitals and we rely mostly on sub-caps. Supers still murder subcaps.
Shall I tell you why we're successful? It's because we don't take Eve at all seriously. We're terrible at this game and we know it.
Come to Hakonen and sit cloaked off the 7-7 station. Watch us engage a hostile gang 100km off the station, we'll wander over there in a hap-hazzard fasion one by one and the wrecks will pile up, before realising 'hey guys, maybe we should fleet up and, y'know, co-operate?'
We'll send a 150 man alpha fleet up against White Noise and Raiden knowing full well that Raiden have their supercaps logged on and ready to drop on us, but it's Friday night and we've been shooting structures all week so f*ck it , let's do it anyway, and laugh while they press the win button before they spam 'gf gf gf gf gf o7o7o7o7o7o7m8m8m8m8m8m8' in local.
We read corpmails and forum posts from other alliances courtesy of our spies, CEOs sperging out over sh*t-fits and embarassing lossmails. Meanwhile our KB has a weekly hall of shame at the top showcasing our most expensive losses (Farewell morale Kronos, you will be missed). Not a week goes by in Fountain that we don't lose a 3 Tengus or an Archon because some dumbass was ratting while there were neutrals in local.
So we aren't easily affected by ingame defeat, our community is more important than ingame events. You can kill our internet spaceships, take our sov, kill our supers if we had any, but you'll never take away our local-spam, fleetchat p0rn, or our Teamspeak concerts. |

I love how now apparantly the CSM is a Goon/Test/PL council of shadowy puppetmasters manipulating the game to suit themselves. The reason the CSM was set up in the first place was for player oversight of CCP after the T20 incident where a CCP employee was found doing favours for Band of Brothers, who were the dominant nullsec power at the time. Back then, every thread like this was about them.
Also it'd be nice if TEST even had any CSM members, they keep leaving as soon as they're elected. |

I don't really think new subscribers have that goal when they start and I believe they quit Eve after they have figured it out. This is why the subscriber base hasn't significantly increased over time.
Implying that the average player joins EVE and bases their decision to subscribe on the state of nullsec politics rather than, y'know, gameplay... Usually empire mission running gameplay. |

Most quit after six months when they have figured this out. If this were not so, Eve's subscription numbers would be well over a million by now.
Truly this lowly thread is privileged to have such unique, some might say supernatural, insight grace it's pages. To think that there exists a person who knows what lurks in the hearts and minds of an entire population.
Don't listen to the cynical fools who say you're simply buttmad because this is how you personally feel, and are trying to give your opinion more merit by pretending to be the unelected spokesperson of a vast silent majority. Those fools, how dare they.
But no, really. According to the last Quarterly Economic Newsletter only 11.26% of players live in nullsec. By now that may have shifted by half a percent up or down, but they're the latest figures for demographics that I'm aware of.
High Sec: 611732 players (79.61%) Low sec: 51342 players (6.68%) Null sec: 86487 players (11.26%) Wormhole Space:18812 players (2.45%)
The nullsec population was up by 0.19% since the previous QEN, and I believe that both Goonswarm and the DRF existed within that period. If Eve's player base is sloping downwards I'd say the cause lies somewhere other than nullsec politics, of which only ~11% of players are directly affected.
TL;DR: You are not Hari Seldon, you're just buttmad and stupid. |

met worst wrote:Apart from a biase borne about by being part of the CFC, the 11% left in null is the key point here and is without doubt the reason for low Eve numbers through stagnation and polarisation of 0.0.
This is my concern. A CFC takeover of what is left of the real wealth in game will simply make it worse.
CCP have clutched at a life-buoy thrown by the CSM and fallen for what I feel is the greatest scam of all. You will either be a Goon or NIP/NAP to Goons to be able to live in 0.0.
End of Story.
Ah yes, everything I say is biased because I'm in the CFC. Luckily you're here with your FNA forum alt to provide the fair and balanced null-sec political punditry that we desperately need. If you're not an alt then wow, that's even better!
Fears of a CFC takeover of nullsec are dumb, and espoused only by those who don't understand the CFC or what it's like to be in a coalition of PvP heavy alliances that suddenly run out of people to fight. The NC was a defensive coalition, held together by the external threat of BoB and their pets. The CFC is not very defensive at all... In fact if you want to go to Fountain right now you'll probably get some nice ratting carrier and Tengu kills and we won't even bother forming up to stop you.
We require conflict in order to exist, we need an enemy to fight, without one we get bored and soft and we start getting on each other's nerves. So yes if we ever run out of people to fight, we will probably end up resetting each other. You don't have to worry about null sec stagnating. |

In the end it boils down to actually creating a resilient enterprise out of volunteers with actual professional skills at IT, management, HR and others. End game has evolved that much, that toppling current status quo will need a matching oponent, and well... when starting a new alliance - how many of you would think : OK... amazon-cloud-based mumble, cloud based forums, content distribution network ... hell most of ppl have no idea what it is, if even that they need it. ^^precisely the reason why CCP needs to flush every asset held by anyone in 0.0, leave nothing aside from NPC stations and then reset all Sov back to Unclaimed....
It's amazing that you think that an in-game reset would destroy an alliance with a strong out-game community and metagame infrastructure. |

Congratulations. Although the competition was very tough, you have said the dumbest thing in this thread so far.

Taiwanistan wrote:If 0.0 were to be redone in this way, I think it could be a much fairer gold rush. if the WH's that led to systems died and switched the way that typical WH's do currently, it would prevent the accumulation of large swathes of space by controlling a few chokepoints and then expanding deeper once you've consolidated the chokes. Leave it on the players to actually construct their own gate pairs in a fashion similar to outpost creation, let the colonists determine how the map of null looks permanently (by permanently, I mean gate travel, not Sov)
Ahaha, controlling regions by gate camping chokepoints, that's so cute. 2005 called, they want their forum sperg back.
Since it became possible to titan bridge an entire fleet right past chokepoints, that kind of chokepoint complaint has become the exclusive domain of high-sec pubbie sperglords who's experience of null-sec is limited to jumping into ECP-8R in their Raven and getting blapped by a bubble camp.
However if you can come up with a sovreignty system that doesn't involve wiping eve and starting over, and which doesn't involve shooting structures, I'll gladly listen to you.
Also another nullsec galaxy cluster accessable via wormhole with buildable jumpgates as you described might be interesting, but in addition to current nullsec rather than replacing it. |
