Apart from the obvious MC backstab...
However all I asked is was it coming to an end, nothing less, nothing more
Don't forget the MC backstab of the coalition as well. I'm not sure whats more surprising - that they backstabbed both GBC and the Coalition or that they are surprised that it has left them friendless and (soon to be) space less. |

Great read Eddz - a post after my own heart
As an 'outsider' to the great war it is always nice to see an indepth and relatively balanced perspective. |

I wonder who was wrong.
You really ought not be so high and mighty, dear bobbit. Let me clarify things for your alliance;
1- You were attacked by the Coalition. You were pushed back into one single region, and there was absolutely nothing you could do about it.
2- The Coalition gave up and moved on. Without opposition from them, you can now retake *some* of your space.
3- Should the Coalition reform and attack you again, you will be pushed back into your lone little region again and there will be absolutely nothing you will be able to do about it.
I really don't see what's up with all the BoB chest-thumping. You're now known to be eminently beatable by the bulk of EVE pilots, and the only reason you're out and about in the South is because the Coalition, rather than spend billions of isk and months of gameplay grinding you down, moved off and *let* you out.
Am I the only one who sees you guys as stray cats creeping out of the garbage bin now that the dogs have given up and gone home? I think not.

There's absolutely nothing ANYBODY could do about it given the numbers, Kraknall - the difference between us and the vast majority of eve is that we didn't break. No corps left, our numbers in fact ROSE, as did our activity the further against the wall we were pushed.

Originally by: Kraknall 2- The Coalition gave up and moved on. Without opposition from them, you can now retake *some* of your space.
Wrong, the coalition is trying to stop us, have you missed the fact the goons are living in Delve? No, we don't notice them either, but hey, they say they're there.

We find no shame in falling back against overwhelming odds, though you seem to think we should - so by that logic if we are NOT pushed back, just by not losing, we win?
I love it.

We're eminently beatable by the bulk, WHEN THE BULK SHOW UP, you missed a rather important tidbit there Kraknall. The coalition didn't "let" us out, they failed to keep it together and that little gem of insight is by their OWN admission, but hey you being a nobody must see something they don't, right?

Didn't complete the job. Now the coalition, assumeing it ever was one, is left with a wounded tiger that is not in the best of moods. Just an observation.... |

Nice post KIAEddz, no joke.
As is manditory in such cases, I'll say that you're not entirely accurate, but I'll accept you are accurate as you see things. Good enough.
But in spite of my own low level of activity these past few months, I have kept my ears opened.
BoB was NEVER, not at the start, nor at any part of this epic campaign, at a morale breaking point.

Good read.
I enjoyed haivng Tortuga on our doorstep and there were a few good fights (provided that there were no titans brought out) so its sad to see you all move away.
Its very telling when you look at the kind of cap numbers people like smashkill can bring now (looking at the RA mothership loss earlier) that the MC's huge advantage (a large cap fleet) now no longer exists which is why they are no longer the force they were. |

Tortuga was a short term fix for a long term problem that was never going to go away realistically. MC was the only group with the willpower to do anything long term, but without the numbers and resources to do it themselves.
The other groups were corps / small alliances that were only interested in themselves in the short term, well illustrated by the admissions that you feel you profited in tortuga by the billions you made in the short period while you were there. Your simply trying, like politicians, to portray a failure as a victory, which frankly it wasnt. You came to take an area and hold it, but you failed, simple as. |

tbh, i'm not sure where you get the idea MC have the will power to do anything long term.. recently they talked alot, but did very little..
I think you're mistaking the current MC for the MC of old.. |

As someone who lived next door to the Tortugans, I thought it was great the relationship we had with them. There was never any sov threats (Paragon Soul is 5+ capital jumps from PB), but we were able to have fun pew pew with each other. Seeing a tortugan log when trapped was a rare occurance. Occasionally we had blue settings, but only when needed.
Now were going to have the bobbits coming around who just like to play loggoffski when they find out about dead end branches. |

Originally by: Kraknall
You really ought not be so high and mighty, dear bobbit. Let me clarify things for your alliance;
1- You were attacked by the Coalition. You were pushed back into one single region, and there was absolutely nothing you could do about it.
This news just in: BoB isnÆt completely invincible! They are û despite claims to the contrary û human. There is not a single alliance in the game that can claim to be able to hold off an unlimited number of opponents. Realistically speaking, if enough people attack you, you will lose. Simple math. Right, so weÆve discovered that no one single entity can be invincible. If no one is invincible, which one is the most powerful? Gimme your best guess û IÆll give you a cookie for the right answer.
Quote: 2- The Coalition gave up and moved on. Without opposition from them, you can now retake *some* of your space.
Highlighted the relevant bit. Despite facing an enemy with an overwhelming numerical advantage, BoB not only survived, but thrived. Their numbers didnÆt drop; they went up. Aside from RA, how many surviving superpowers can claim to have faced something like this and not folded? Any big alliance (ASCN) can blob it up and declare themselves the bestest alliance ever. But how many self-proclaimed superpowers have lasted this long, against odds this great? An earlier quote in this thread sums it up: ôA warrior's true spirit is only measured in the moment of his defeat.ö Anyone can be a NAP-train riding (Coalition) superpower. But for some mysterious reason, these superpowers crumble the moment they meet a remotely challenging foe. BoB hasnÆt crumbled û if anything, they are more powerful now than they were before.
Quote: 3- Should the Coalition reform and attack you again, you will be pushed back into your lone little region again and there will be absolutely nothing you will be able to do about it.
Should the coalition reform, they will continue the trend of losing fleet battles despite massively larger fleets. They will continue to do this until participation and membership levels drop to an unacceptable level. Then, they give up. Again.
The real question is; considering the circumstances, could anyone have done better than BoB?
The Coalition claims BoB isnÆt any good at diplomacy. They say itÆs BoBÆs fault that the numbers arrayed against them were so vast û if they had been a bit more humble, maybe they wouldnÆt have faced so many. And this is true. But in the end- did these numbers win them the war? You want to see ôgoodö diplomacy, look at the north. What is the fun in being blue to everyone around you? If youÆre a PVP alliance, you should try to like, PVP, right? BoB is living proof that with enough skill and a will of iron, diplomacy is optional.

I thought RA/Hydra/Goons were those who logged off... and STK the one who are the PRIME of ASCN with their superior tactics.
I quote:" But I can't help thinking that ignoring a BoB gang is "probably" the correct strategy."
So, to point the obvious: ASCN 2008, is the contingency plan already made and published?
Now is a good time to watch in mirror, and see the reflection. |

Quote: 'Some of the FC's stepping up, were inexperienced, and in all honesty poor. This caused quite a kerfluffle in the KIA camp, as ships were lost, tension mounted. KIA came under flack for ill fitted Fleet ships, and all in all tensions mounted between the parties.'
The inexperienced FCs was KIA. The ill fitted fleet ships was KIA. The guys doing all the whining was KIA.
Im not saying it was KIA's fault Tortuga lost, but all i saw from KIA was **** **** **** and ****. ps. i dont like Eddz (not that its a secret ) |

Holy epic logic batman. Nice post.
Not that I have any hatred left in my gastank for bob, But this is kind of true. Arrogance and chest beating was what got 90% of eve to set you red the first time bobbits. (t20 incident aside, you were hated before that.)
I figured you'd learn a little bit from your mistakes. Your diplos at least. Scale down your rhetoric, for your own good. Sure MC is getting what they deserve, but continuing to act like arrogant asshats will just get you zerged again.
Just my two isk. Good luck to both MC and Bob in future affairs. |

Something like that. I was on the frontlines against bob for damn near a year. Yes I heard the bbq joke. Yes I hated them. Yes I grew to respect them. I also am a bit dumbfounded that the same overwhelming arrogance (eg. serious business) that got them in trouble in the first place, is back - and quite out in the open. I urge them to learn from their mistakes, and chest beat a bit less. It's obvious they kicked tortuga in the nuts and they folded like a stack of cards. Rubbing their nose about it in public doesn't do them any favors.
