Oh? Then why are their a million threads complaining about the blob that took most of their conquered space and pets?
You, a bob alt, either ****ed off 90% of eve on purpose - then complained about being blobbed (lulz)....
Or this is rather weak spin.
I wouldn't walk down the same arrogant surious buziness role you did before. Good luck no matter what path(s) you choose. |

hey nice write up Kia Eddz , decent read.
i personally dont give a rats ass about the past war or the current wars. see im a simple person , i have my miner alt (this guy) , and most recently purchased me a pvp alt (Kwitchy , you dirty ***** , i got 1 day old noobs from npc corps pming me cussing me for you killing their ships a long ass time ago. LMAO good game!) and the only reason i got a pvp alt is for the fun.
i guess what im trying to get at here is alot of you pointing at BoB's diplomatic ability , or lack there of. Maybe some of you dont realize that BoB is a pvp alliance , maybe they dont try to be diplomatic because they honestly and sincerely WANT you to come shoot at them. Because why? THEY ENJOY THE PVP. Why else would you sit there and basically beckon the entire bulk of pvp fighters (or wanna be fighters (like myself)) to come and shoot at you? Not because you honestly think you're better than them , but because building **** like carriers , dreads , moms , titans (holy **** , how many do you guys have now?) is pretty much pointless unless you're going to put the *****s to use right ? Why bother flying that battleship in .0 unless you're gonna send a volley of whatever your ammo choice is up someone elses exhaust pipes? yeah sure , ratting can be fun at times , but honestly , how can long can you seriously warp from belt to belt (or chain spawn one belt) looking for npc's to kill ? when its much funner and more unpredictable to shoot at someone that can do something totally unexpected? yeah sure this is my miner alt , but hey , someones gotta pay for all my ship replacements right? :(
oh btw , im not brown nosing BoB , i personally dont like BoB , just my thoughts , mainly because i think blob warfare is ***. id rather jump into a system with 9 other allies and take on 10-20 enemies. than jump into a system with 200 allies facing 200 (or more or less) enemies. lag is not warfare. any **** can jump into a system , attempt to turn on the guns and then lag out and not see **** for the next 2 hours , somehow magically make it out alive , and claim victory. no skills needed. (seriously , 900ksp alts can do this , look at some of the other "major" alliances around) real warfare is the small gang fleets , the roaming gangs that came to your home town , ****** up some of your npc'ers , and then waited on your ass to form that gang up and come get em , with out making you chase them and with out logging off or trying to hide like a ****. |

Very enjoyable read... while it's obviously only from 1 point of view it's nice to see one perspective on the war and how things went/are going.
Thanks! CAOD needs more posts like this. |

Unlike most in this game, I don't really think what alliance I'm in has anything to do with my understanding of the goings-on in the universe. You think Foundation's funny? Risible? Good for you. Now, when you're actually able to counter anything I say with something other than a very lame joke about my alliance, maybe I'll have something to rebutt. |

I rate a response from one of (the?) most noteworthy BoB spindoctors. I'm really quite flattered. Not impressed by the response, but flattered in some perverse way anyway.
The blunt truth is, anyone can claim a "point" off of anything. "You gave me a good palm strike to the nose, but I bled all over your Armani suit. Point to me" is a good example. Yes, yes..."We bent but we didn't break." Kudos to you on that, really. My point- and you've done nothing to refute it but in fact confirmed it -is that Bob has gone from its previous perceived state of undisputed dominance in the game (BoB can't be defeated) to something more like "BoB can do whatever they like until they **** off enough people, and then they'll be forced back into a pocket yet again". You have free reign as long as the masses allow you to have free reign. Just like any other alliance in this game.

I think you just picked BoB's next target for them. Your alliance mates will thank you for sure.

Originally by: Dark Warrior While it's nice of you to call MC what they are - traitors, one has to wonder if you freely shared this opinion during the first successful months of co-existance as well. Or are you doing that only because that "Renowned Mercenary Corp" ended up failure-cascading on such a massive scale?
Maybe that's a part of the reason why the first line of your essay contains a semi-apology for writing it in the first place.
Still, don't think many people in BoB will have any hard feelings towards your Alliance. Good luck I guess...
Let me expand on this a bit,
MC are cowards. They saw the writing on the wall and thought it was better to make a deal with goonswarm and live in PB then to fight to the bitter end like RISE and RMF.
I understand these feelings. A few (very few) people in RMF advocated that we accept the offer made to us to keep K-9 and go red to BoB.
We choose death. MC choose dishonour
Now the hands that were dealt are being played out.
GL and I hope you like oblivion.

Good luck with that. I hope it works for you.
The arrogance and chest beating however, usually winds up costing peeps in the end. Just look at tortuga for instance.

I don't post much in CAOD anymore but this post caused me to. Post to follow:
I don't think I've ever seen Eddz back down from saying that he and his corp lost. Always up front about it. In my opinion that takes a little guts. Good job. Always nice to read a well written report as well. |

Ive seen much much mor welp posts from RSF people (cyno, titan etc etc subjects). Also when bob members do mention the blob, usualy its because someone sitting the back seat in some nobody-alliance screaming 'WE OWND U EVIL BOBBITS!), or some goony :). Yes i know goons are PROUD AND HAPPY they have that many allies boasting they are much more diplomatic than BoB, yet they did to their own friends worse than what they accused BoB of doing.
In most fleet battles BoB constitues the majority of the GBC fleet (and BoB gave credit to all their allies specialy as of late). Point is they dont complain, simply point out that it takes THAT MANY people against to actualy do something and yet lol.
Face it, doesn matter how people spin it, for those RSF who say BOB LOST THE MOST AMOUNT OF REGIONS IN THE SORTEST PERIOD OF TIME etc etc etc, its clear BoB set the new meaning for strategic witdrawal. True you conquered space and stations, remember most of it was non-bob space(ie EX ASCN etc) conquered by BoB/GBC and was held by BoB/GBC for much longer than RSF did so far (till this day, who knows u might keep it for longer). Eddz good Write up, but dont spin the 'hatred to tortuga fueled bob', maybe it did (a little), but it doesnt and shouldnt take credit for their come back (hint Molle, member activity, high SP,logisitcs,organization, years of experience,ego etc..), it just gave them an extra mission in the overall campaign :) (killing MC/Totuga). Kudos BoB, always setting the standard (and all of eve knows it)

I wasn't suggesting or commenting on anything even remotely similar or related to any of that. Nor was I claiming RSF has any sort of morale high ground. Only warning bob that hubris generally costs you, in both eve and life. |

Edited by: Angelonico on 03/05/2008 06:27:43 I'd love to have a chat concerning your usage of the word "worked."
I'll edit this and scale down the glib.
You've struggled as an alliance just as any other - and have had major victories and major defeats. I've seen some of them first hand. I would have figured your leadership to learn from your past mistakes such as the aforementioned "hubris" that caused you to lose a good chunk of your space. You know. Evolve?
If you still want to be arrogant go for it, but I'm surprised you haven't learned from the past. Dafuzz seems to be on the right path.
Irreverance ftw.
Cheers and good luck with the rest of the war. I'll have fun watching it play out. |

It was blatant betrayal, despite us catching up on the deteriorating fibe between the two of us, and us not daring to ask the question earlier when Mynas was up and about spewing his vocal garbage around. In hindsight, we should have. Even if it meant we could potentially harm the relationship. So you can blame us for not being the best judge of man, but the blame for a consciously, calculated betrayal of their longtime friends in the eleventh hour falls in your lap. It can not be sweet talked or marginalized, regardless if Gaelsto posts 50 times in one thread.
Our numbers skyrocketed the moment we gave up the regions east of Querious. No more 40 jumps to fetch a new ship, front door insta-PVP 4tw. Sure, we had quite a few members come back because of the betrayal, but far be it to say the majority. To think that Tortuga's role in the GBC's new found zeal is of major consequence is ludicrous. You refused to give us a fight in T-Par then (took the system when we were occupied elsewhere) and you refuse to give us a fight now. If anything, you look like KOS now. You will go down in history as just another entity jumping ship when things look bad. Of which there were plenty.
Over-emphasizing your own role in the grand scheme of things and writing the GBC's success off as a direct result of your actions, does not re-write history into your favour. It makes you look silly and paints you off like you really did not know BoB too well at all. |

Edited by: Angelonico on 03/05/2008 08:51:50 I'm not blaming you for anything brosef. If anything I'm complimenting your total intimidation/decimation of tortuga in short order. Striking while MC was reeling from a PR nightmare, epic fail on all fronts, the dropping of corps, etc. Striking hard and fast was the perfect call... and so the mighty MC, once one of the most well respected cap forces int he game - and right fully so - , falls.
However, weren't these guys your friends until a short time ago? Didn't they just want neutral space (however *** "tortuga" sounded.) Would they really have blued RSF if you hadn't sieged them?
Sure what they did was idiotic. Everyone and their brother knows this is a collasal **** up of epic proportions... but is what they tried to do that horrible? Pull out of the war and go neutral?
Meh. Maybe it was all total crap and a front, but I seem to remember MC having little to no respect for goons/RA and not wanting to work with them.
Sure they screwed up, and the usual cast of eve muppets will dance on their corpses. I just expected a little better from BOB as they were their former friends. The north and RSF have obvious and blatant grievances... all MC did at least in word, was try to pull out. You forced them into the position of having to blue RSF ("sorry Nop") and everyone pretty much knew they were buggered one way or another at that point. I suppose neutraling you in the first place was a bit of overconfidence on their own, no? Oh how the hubris cycle flows.
Poor Mynas, he'll be eating crow for the rest of his internet spaceship lifezorz.

You're right and I'm not privy to your boards or goons, much less MC's... and there is a lot of information I don't have access too. All I know I learned on the field so to speak.
However you will have to agree with me on the basic principle that, much like ignorance, arrogance is a weakness. |

MC could have chosen this to be a good war. They could have thrown in numbers, but I do not remember one battle of note since tortuga took PB. THey stuck to the stations and only managed to take tpar when we JB'd/cynoed to the other fronts to defend there, which is the most disappointing thing. I'm sad to see an alliance like MC go downhill like this, we were hoping that you guys could give us some epic fights, but your leadership has let you down. |

Who is actually leadership of MC now? The leaked teamspeak recording indicated Myndpyre Ritchie was taking over from Dri, While Seleene was away?
Is it likely Seleene will return? |
