To be quite honest this really isn't a very good drama bomb at all. Its just a bunch of people ranting through a late night complaining routine because they are a little bit annoyed at the server not working properly. I think everyone who has ever been in a corporation in Eve (with more than 2 members) had listened to this kind of thing in the past and its not exactly newsworthy.
What is more interesting is the degree to which it illustrates:
a) The kinda creepy obsessive quality of 24/7 voice comms infiltration aspiration which reminds a little of the East German experience before the wall came down. (I'd recommend the op go down the dvd shop and rent Leben der Anderen, Das It is an excellent exploration of these themes)
b) That there is a fair degree of bottom of the barrel-scraping in the current propaganda ... (I hesitate to use the word offensive in its military sense) and perhaps you guys should try another approach?
c) It is actually quite heartening that by and large the ordinary population of the game has lost patience for this stuff and perhaps in the future it will simply sweep away unremarked on the tidal currents of COAD to sink to the bottomless oceans of obscurity where such content truly belongs.
As a veteran of many many years of political manipulation and public relations initiatives in this medium I have to let you know that publishing the late night meandering grumps of some bored alliance footsoldiers is hardly going to set the world aflame. Nor is making the somewhat incredible claim that these people have the same level of seniority and influence as high level alliance leadership in the opposing sphere that happily authorizes exactly the kind of thing you'd appear to be commending here. Its weak my friend. Weaksauce cooked up in a weak cooking pot on national weak day by the Scalding Pass regional weak association for consideration in the annal weakness awards.
D- (wish you wouldn't bother trying harder.)

You're missing the essential point. When you see that your opponent is drowning, throw that son of a ***** an anvil.
"When you have to kill a man, it costs nothing to be polite."
Or in other words monsieur, you will be judged by your conduct in winning every bit as harshly as you might be judged in losing such a fight. Graceless behaviour is graceless behaviour regardless of editorial bias and historical recordkeeping.

Originally by: Kyrie Elaison This is a war of extermination. It's not meant to be a polite time. Also, there's a certain satisfaction derived from completely subjugating one's enemy, which is all we're trying to do.
Does beg the question however, how does this kind of deeply inept and clumsy faux-propaganda actually advance your cause in any meaningful way? Lets be completely honest here, it is very very weak and it does you a lot more harm than good in the eyes of anyone you might hope to persuade. And why bother? As of this weekend you have two of your worst enemies fighting to the death with capital fleets in the Tortuga vs BOB showdown? Why waste time with poor quality voice coms monitoring nonsense at all? Shouldn't you be on the march and blackening out the suns of Delve with ten thousand starships (or something)?
My point is. This kind of thing really doesn't help either your cause, or the cause of a generally readable CAOD board. If you hate BOB so much you are motivated by the desire to strike them down with every breath and never stint for a heartbeat in the struggle then get to it!
Delve -> that way. (its not on the forums)

Originally by: PSA1SWIPE This recording idd wont make it much worse as the damage was already been done quite some time ago on how people see BoB , well a good amount of em , just a tad hilarious for me this recording , reminds of a certain something during The GNW ;)
Most people in BoB that also complain about teh tactics and shiat being done to them seem to have no clue what so ever teh "old BoB" did ... Hmmz nice to see you posting again Jade and i have to admit its not so heavily pro BoB as u used to write but i guess it comes with age xx ;)
I was actually thinking back to that recording while listening to this one and truly the present version has nothing on the past. I guess hence my post - this drama bomb was just a poor fizzle really.
Anyways, nice to be posting again and do remember PSA, BoB wasn't even invented when I was banned last time. Its like I've been inside for 15 year stretch and kipper ties are no longer in fashion
