Starting off the mega pubbie townhall with such a full-stop quote means that phorde has effectively taken their proverbial goalposts and strapped them to the evacuation rocket as auxiliary boosters to help take all their supers and titans back home. Meanwhile with Delve's open season on the invasive krab species in full swing and no more ability for capital escalation, it's only a matter of two weeks until the reptile folk of Eve are hit with an extinction-level event.

I've been saying for months that, no matter what else happens, and even if they actually destroy the Imperial Palace through some miracle, this war will only end with the destruction of TEST.

Your heart's desire is to be told some mystery. The mystery is that there is no mystery.
The only people who want big super fights to happen at this point in the war are masochists who didn't get their fill in M2- or elsewhere.

Just bash the 1DQ Keepstars in Rokhs or Typhoons or whatever extreme long-range BS fleet we know is going to be used to hack away at it.

Haven't played for a year. How is there a 1DQ last stand? It was protected by an orb of citadels and a thousand bajilion supers and the rest of EVE pretty much quit the game anyway.

Severance looked the other way and one of the Brave made an escape from the Querious asylum.

e. the beacon's in front of the t5z Contentstar, and somehow we failed to tackle this hel the first time so he warps through the keepstar into the drag bubbles we had set up on the other side

Maybe I'm stupid but that does not explain the 20% damage by a TEST keepstar. Did they DD him out of his misery or something?

Keepstar doomsdays have a chain lightning effect that hits multiple targets! It picks targets to chain to in order of ship mass, with no preference for friend vs foe. So no matter who it hit in the subcap cloud around the Hel, it was destined to jump to the Hel after that.

In big fights on Keepstars, people have been known to fly Higgs-rigged Apostles alongside their super fleet to ensure that the DD jumps to those before it jumps to any supers.

Insurance ran out on it. Vic hooked me up thinking I was gonna get primaried off grid in the first few minutes but they likely heard me on coms complaining about having to refit for an hour and a half just so I could target anything :D

No point selling it to anyone outside of the Imperium apparently. PAPI might as well have zero supers since they'll never use them after M2.

TEST wanted Goons to help them murder PanFam. Goons said "no". TEST asked everyone else to murder Goons. Goons now have one constellation left in Delve, but TEST and friends won't attack it because supers are now too expensive, and you can't make cash in null any more

The enemy has successfully stalled the Regoonquista by refusing to even attack 1DQ and drawing the war out forever

Just short of ten months. TEST owns Period Basis, BRAVE owns Querious and they are both telling their line that they really do live in Delve for real now but all of their previous space in the rest of the south is on fire after claiming they would hold all of that as well as goonspace

How do the likes of TEST etc managed to hold the line while living in the Imperiums backyard? Eveyrthing within 40 jumps of 1DQ used to be a scorched wasteland. Did I miss some cataclysmic betrayal event?

PanFam and miscellaneous other pubbie groups are still around, so they massively outnumber us in Delve. As soon as the papi coalition breaks up, we can roll back the squatters in a matter of weeks. I suspect that's why the war keeps dragging on. Even if we lose, TEST still won't win. Not even going to bother talking about the other Legacy alliances, half of which have already failscaded at this point.
