You must be able to disrupt their ability to make money, you must find ways to destabilize thier infrastructure and organization, you'd have to infiltrate or render useless their communication systems, organize mass boycotts of any material shipped to or from imperium space including known alts, finally you'd have to organize a mass burn or mobile siphon campaign. All of this would have to be sustained over the course of six months while combining it with a systemic campaign by multiple coalitions to take goon space system by system. There is no entity in eve with the desire or organization to take on such a legendary task. A guerilla campaign such as this can only perform death by 1000 cuts if the losses can eclipse the total income of imperium. Conversely you could cause internal strife by hyper focusing on one member of imperium at a time and making goon leadership choose between footing the bill for thier losses of cutting them loose. 3t in losses for imperium is nothing. 3t in losses for one single imperium alliance is another matter entirely.sun tzuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18332572448606189294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-34102899426017041582015-12-08T15:42:13.567+01:002015-12-08T15:42:13.567+01:00with so many trillionaires in its midst surely the...with so many trillionaires in its midst surely the Emporium Mittani(tm) would make a great target for scammers.<br /><br />get in, get loved, get handouts, get responsibility, get paid, go 'fuck goons', get out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-65359131341881940772015-12-08T14:50:15.978+01:002015-12-08T14:50:15.978+01:00"Where exactly does it grow?

You'll always cherry pick your data so that you can say that you are winning, but how does that actually help you if they aren't going anywhere? All you doing is proving that no matter how much damage is done to them, goons aren't going anywhere.<br /><br />"That kind of cash could indeed do anything. But it does nothing.

This is CCP impacting The Imperium, not you.<br /><br />However, the power of a 10,000+ member strong alliance is still there. They can't project that power quite so far anymore, but their economic power has hardly been impacted.<br /><br />So no matter how many people MOA shoot, there will still be more there waiting. They have hundreds of *trilions* of isk. They have individual *trillionares* within their group (many, in fact). As a commercially minded person you must realise with that kind of cash you can do just about anything. You are attempting to fight a financial war that your own statistics prove you are not winning (lots of killing, zero reduction in activity.. A *reduction* in MOA kills may be a sign that you're having an impact but an increase? no).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-10048781318244777892015-12-08T11:23:14.327+01:002015-12-08T11:23:14.327+01:00So did TEST.

That in itself is proof that they, and you, are irrelevant. The way you get rid of comments like this is also proof, since you wouldn't do it if deep down you didn't know it was true.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
