In fact the only shame is if you refuse to load up that rifter when called upon. I know an alliance where pvp participation is high encouraged but not manditory, the funny thing is they measure participation on weather or not you joined a sanctioned fleet. So to get your participation go join a defense fleet, get on a kill mail on the first day of the month and you can do the other 27-30 days without a single pvp event and still be considered "participating".

It's usually the alliances give the corps a charge per member, then its up to the corp to decide how to gather all of that together. Be it tax, a straight charge, donations, etc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-61300970456653994432013-06-12T01:43:12.635+02:002013-06-12T01:43:12.635+02:00Having rented from Test, I can clearly say that Te...Having rented from Test, I can clearly say that Test will lose this war. <br /><br />My experience showed me that Test's culture is rather against industry as your own experience in Test should have shown you. Montolio managed to upset more than a few industrialist corps/alliances in Fountain as the issues with "Mistakes Were Made" (07m8) and Kaesong Kapitals (who made a lot of the supercapitals for Test players). These folks left after you did. <br /><br />Furthermore, Test needs to get their stuff together. Bombing fleets of allies is a good way to turn allies into enemies. <br /><br />My conclusion is that Test will end up like Against All Authorities: down to 1 system. It won't happen quickly, but it will be like a steam roller. Goonswarm is more like a bulldozer - slow to turn but crushes what it crawls over.

Why would I want to expose myself to being called a "greedy Jew", and what I do referred to as variations of "Jewing", and be looked down upon by penniless idiots? <br /><br />Since their culture is the defining feature of TEST, it's not going to change and miraculously become accepting of individual moneymaking in all its forms. I can do just as well, or better, as an industrialist and trader in highsec - without the aggravation of being exposed to racism and general idiocy. <br /><br />And if I really want to PvP, I can stick a 2nd account alt into TEST, and enjoy their ship replacement socialist welfare program.

On the other hand TEST can continue to gather resources at its leisure (well, somewhat) and if they turtle up and play their hand right, they can drag the invasion so much that it becomes unsustainable.<br /><br />This is why a major keep was always a pain in medieval warfare: it could lock up huge opposing forces for extended periods of time and usually they were broken by hugely overwhelming forces (read, 1:10).<br /><br />Plus, people will always cluster together to get the chance to kill Goons.Tithianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17567723372347346654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-62275521397986966772013-06-11T08:09:19.813+02:002013-06-11T08:09:19.813+02:00What is your evidence that everyone else does PvE ...What is your evidence that everyone else does PvE on secret alts?<br /><br />As for TEST winning this? it is unwinnable.
