I've seen all of these denials that it was a trap, but as far as I know nobody is really denying:
- Co2 planning to flip prior to the fight (confirmed)
- Co2 (or Co2 leadership) accepting payment to do so (confirmed)
- Co2 attempting to convince LAWN/BSTN to stage out of a remarkably vulnerable location in their space
- Co2 insisting that the move op follow a certain route
- Removal of cyno jammers
- Hictor logoff traps along the route (granted I've seen no hard evidence either so not taking that too seriously)

Personally I'm of the "don't attribute to malice what can be attributed to incompetence" camp but how, short of going full-on :argh: grr goons Martini spin all lies :argh: can you not at least admit that it looks really, really bad from the other side?

So usually when you're planning a trap, a key part of the preparation is that you don't let the other guy know you're up to something. NCdot having their entire Supercapital fleet online and in range of the move OP route lighting up the watch-list of every FC worth their salt isn't exactly subtle. More reasonably it was a low-effort way for them to make the evacuation just a bit harder by forcing the OP to take a longer (but safer) route, bonus points if the extra jumps left you jump fatigue.

As far as the M-O fight, it was known going in that the Imperium was heavily outnumbered, not just by a bit, but by a lot. Having hundreds of supers/titans get in fleet and sit on standby while you already have a 2-1 subcap advantage is what's called a 'show of force'. Under the perspective of pure Fozziesov mechanics it would have been far better to send in just enough dudes to win the main fight, then have the other 1500 sov-wand everything in sight. But from a morale perspective a massive showing like that is far more beneficial than grinding a region getting abandoned anyway, both to start a panic among the Imperium line members, and to build morale in the new and loosely associated Moneybadger coalition which includes the Co2 line members trying to decide if their CEO is right or if they should join another Imperium alliance.

Everyone please stop the stupid space drama. At its core, what really makes EVE is that it is a deeply social experience. Reliable friends and knowledgeable mentors make the most daunting challenges manageable.

How are your new friends, btw?

Serious question: Does anyone have any information on this "Palatine" citadel? I saw a screenshot of a chatlog with some CCP dev discussing it, but without any real detail. I want to know what the Cabal will be building in Deklein Syndicate in a few months.

It's been a long time, and for a while I'd resubscribe only to secret santa a goon.

That said, besides subcap and support skills on a collection of characters, If I can remember the name of the alt account I have a Wyvern in Deklein, if supercaps are still a thing. If the better answer is to sent it to a goon more likely to play (I am tits deep in FFXIV right now and the honeymoon hasn't worn off) then I understand.

Sort of. You can set your "able to be reinforced" time period to any timezone you want, so most people try to put it during their peak time for optimum defense. You can also dick around with it to throw people off for a few hours like Horde did in Cloud Ring when they reset it from a late EU/early US time period to AUTZ, which meant the big invasion fleet that was formed up expecting the older timezone period to be active had to find something else to do til they could start reinforcing later into the night.

Mostly it's motivated by a desire to do something for the alliance, but maybe I'm just speaking for myself. Having said that, high performers for various tasks (GSOL, reimbursement, etc) do get PLEX as a thank you for their efforts. That's not exactly advertised though as that really isn't the point of volunteering for those kinds of jobs.
