In the past, we held a few moons that generated income that went towards Alliance level SRP, but that's no longer possible. Goons clean-sweep our space too frequently now for that to be viable. <br /><br />That's one of the ironies that gets me - they publicly diminish us, trumpet how inconsequential we are, yet regularly dedicate substantial (relative) levels of resources with the goal of tamping us down. They declare that they will "take out the trash" and destroy our will to login, but inevitably lose the attention span of their troops and go back to ratting in Deklein. We pivot, relocate, pivot, and come home eventually. Their "hellcamps" probably have an impact on our regular effectiveness of ~15% during these periods. But let's be honest - we are what we are...we're no power house, we cull their herd's weakest, dumbest, slowest, and take opportunities that give us the best chance of leveraging what we have.<br /><br />We drop on a ratting capital and destroy it (most of the time), then stick around in local as Ted McManfist and Alp Khan rage so bad that that I'm embarrassed for them. They think that a bunch of dudes in blops ships can be offended by the word "coward" as their response force of carriers and titans builds up - much like the blood in their testicles that eventually turn blues (queue the aching). Who wins in that sort of asymmetric situation? Who the hell would, at that point, uncloak their 20x bombers against a force of 100 in anything? Their appeals to our spaceship ethics and a sense of bravery are hilarious.<br /><br />What would we do without Gevlon's donations? We certainly would not disappear/implode, but recovering from losses would obviously be more painful. Do we take direction from Gevlon? No, we do what we do...he just likes that we do it and it is mutually beneficial. As long as the relationship stays like that, I see no reason to change it from our side. We kill goons, they kill us. I personally don't even hate goons, but they're the targets I have and they're ubiquitous in my neighborhood.<br /><br />-MoA TrashAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-66731629042437110372015-02-03T18:34:03.555+01:002015-02-03T18:34:03.555+01:00No.

I can't care less if they spend the money on SRP, bounties or the leader's titan as long as their dead Goon counter increases.<br /><br />Joining MoA would be a dumb idea.

You are funding a very large portion of their ship replacement program, assuming that they have one. And I certainly hope that they do have one, because otherwise you are doing nothing but line to pockets of their leaders.<br /><br />By the way, you actually joined Test at one point. Why not take the battle to the enemy directly, and just join MoA? You can still provide the donations. You can have more of a say in how they are spent. And you can participate in these CFC kills that make you so happy.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-57735820001150540052015-02-03T18:14:07.475+01:002015-02-03T18:14:07.475+01:00And the 198B losses to CFC would somehow disappear...And the 198B losses to CFC would somehow disappear if they'd have 199B losses?<br /><br />But Zkillboard is your friend: https://zkillboard.com/alliance/1301367357/stats/<br /><br />166B losses in January TOTAL.

The ISK must flow .. not to mention real money.<br />They are professionals.<br /><br />The rest of players are not, thus they are incapable of concentrated effort needed to put a dent in slaveholding empires of 0.0. Moreso , great many are more than happy to go under their banners. Cue cult of personality and hooligan behaviour.<br /><br />This is not dissimilar to Medieval Europe. .. with no signs of religious upheaval that could put dent in status quo.<br />Where are Hussites/Swiss/Landsknechts when you need them?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04222467843824877099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-91915974455347599562015-02-03T11:45:30.261+01:002015-02-03T11:45:30.261+01:00Lol, goonageddon...

I really appreciate the effort you put into this project, collecting and chewing all thedata is time consuming, however, I doubt that you will achieve anything befor either your ISK or your interest in EVE runs out.<br /><br />So, my advice, look around, think of a btter way, so far, you have only spent money and merc scum have profitted from it, curiously making you the biggest welfare whale in EVE.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03980196122718057307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-5204250403479822092015-02-03T11:23:06.216+01:002015-02-03T11:23:06.216+01:00@Anon
