That's like saying that Chinese, Japanese and Koreans aren't races. Sure we're not on that magnitude of obviousness but "here" It's pretty clear.


I know this is an American thing where people are born into the country but if two Fins move to Sweden and have a child. That child is Finish. In fact legally the child would be Finish as well and not be able to vote without applying for a Swedish citizenship.

If that child then grows up and has a child with a Swede then their child would be half Swedish and Half finish.

I'm going to :godwin: here and give another example. Hitler for example was born in a German family living in Austria. Hence from an American view there has spawned this urban myth that he was Austrian simply because he was born there. When being born there is irrelevant. Hence he was German.

I am wholly indifferent to blood bonds and nationalism but I do live in the middle of it so I can't pretend to not understand what people refer to. I'm sure the british islands have something similar.

I did have a Welsh coworker once whos son was born in London. I'd feel sorry for anyone who implied that his son was an Englishman.

So just do it then. The only thing worse than badposting is people who won't shut up about the people they have on ignore. Ranting and commenting on it is the exact opposite of ignoring someone.

The reason why that is isn't due to the remoteness of your location, it's because your provider services multiple areas and more populated areas are less prioritized. Installs are prioritized by location. If your area is smaller, there's less to install, so they get you done first because you're the easy part. NYC's gonna take a while.

You know I was always a pubbie before me and the mittani started loving right. I can do whatever irrelevant thing in EVE and be okay.

edit: so compared to GSF's foreseeable future, this side project just seems more interesting. Things seem stable in Delve, ya know.

If you feel that strongly about it you need to be confident within yourself and express it in the avenue available to you. You want to be the change, right? Go out there and do it.

the problem is not everyone makes an accurate distinction between TMC, GSF, and SA. If they are the type to lump them all together they're probably going to be upset with me.

My friend, you are a pioneer of a fledgling industry that may very well start with your article. Nothing will go flawlessly, there will be mistakes made and no matter what some people will be upset and angry. However, you have a great opportunity. You get to publish an article on the most controversial EVE news websites (outside of patch notes) and people will be paying attention. Risk is high, but so is the reward. Break down those doors, fight against the sentinels of the established order, and rattle some cages. Victory goes to the bold.

There's been a lot of rationalization. The loss of the maelstrom fleet was deliberate on my part to get brave into a better doctrine, since broski and paisti like bombers and brave had no idea how to counter bombers, but also couldn't afford to buy new battleships without getting an insurance payout. (it didn't help that they were selling those maelstroms to their members for 350m each). My goal was to have them all die to the initial bomb wave, but when that didn't happen everything became awkward.

They need to either take the game less seriously and cry less when they get cloak camped all day long and have people constantly attack their sov, or they need to get more serious and realize that if they want to own space they need to only own enough systems that they can keep ADMs up, fly doctrines that aren't hurricanes (since they don't have the pure weight of numbers to make canes work), have a capfleet so that every fight can't be ended by someone bringing in a handful of supers/fax/whatever (we tried to form a full coalition wide capfleet for a few stratops. Since they were In EUTZ and rote wasn't there, we would get about 10 caps. I personally was almost half the capfleet), and have strategic assets like titans so their fleets can't get cut off from objectives trivially easily.

Since they refused to take the game of sov seriously enough to actually be prepared to defend it well, yeah they badly needed to take the game less seriously.

I think that fight club as an idea is great, since there are a fair number of people out there who want to get fights using 0.0 mechanics (bombers, bubbles, etc) that you can't do in lowsec, but who also aren't interested in the game of sov. Unfortunately since NPC nullsec has utter garbage for isk making opportunities, the only way to make fight club work is if they have some sort of patron that keeps whoever glances at the sov from being able to take it.

Nah, they were fine until the fortizar got dropped (with large NC, PL and LUMPY fleets there to push the system into tidi and prevent anyone from killing it), and broski started cloaky camping constantly and dropping either supers or bridging a perfect counter fleet onto anything that moved.

It didn't help that broski are verbally abusive and fairly racist in local/reddit (which way too many fight club members pay too much attention to).

Yeah so there's a lot of pressure. QFC is a contrived, safe space and it makes them a target.

There's a difference between discussing a problem and lamenting, and they were lamenting. Greygal was, anyway. With a prepared speech that she tried to read in a natural voice. It's almost as bad as daddy-dom SMA leader what'shisface and everyone responding yessir or nossir.

It's not like we didn't know, either. There was that experimental flash invasion of what was that region again? GSF was well aware of how precarious sovereignty holdings had become.

Repeating you should move to Delve because entosis isn't some stroke of genius. It's painfully obvious white noise.

If you truly think that leaving people like bastion or lawn stranded in vale with heaps of assets stuck/lost, losing triple digits of allied supers making the exodus from the north and more than half the player numbers/alliances of the imperium was the best possible way of adjusting to fozzie sov and that the massive benefits of ??? that you reaped in the months you didn't adjust somehow make up for this, more power to you
