IRC's flexibility in deploying to a conflict two or three regions away without any of their own assets or sov at stake and repeatedly welping to superior numbers have sort of made them dear to me
Also, Gothic, shut the fuck up.
I appreciate IRC's can-do attitude. I'm just surprised they haven't seemed to learn that much in their many many years as a sov holding alliance that engages in a lot of pvp.

[05:28:32] Damienwhat Solette > friend said, if only they didn't have those 2 falcons there, i said they have 3, and he said that just says they don't want to do anything fair, just want to be dicks about it like not normal dicks but big black huge cocks
Last time they engaged a CFC force with supercaps they got suckerpunched right into the dick (gyro erebus comes to mind), so I don't think there will be any massive supercap battle between the players. CFC will just time their stuff for US prime, and take everything with their now fat and somewhat well experienced supercap fleet. I hope I'm wrong, but I really don't see this supercap killing of yours happening.
green thanks to philanthropy
that levi that jumped into N6G last night instead of bridging was just for lols tho yea?
It's a levi, of course it's for lols
In other news today, it looks like the methodical alliance, guests of NC. got sloppy during some outpost strengthening operations.
A station explosion appears to have affected their SBU storeroom scattering their entire stock into open space where they eventually landed in a few Pure Blind systems. The force of the explosion and subsequent lightspeed travel was so powerful that the SBU's on landing somehow self anchored and onlined on every gate of these systems. No TMA personel were reported injured and certainly none were seen when the CFC twilight hours fleet came to shoot them.
The fleet including an unauthorised sneak preview of the new post patch CFC doctrine ship The Battle Hulk
I think it's hilarious when people put shit like this in their posts. "I'm going to get downvoted for this but...". I can't ever figure out if it's desperately trying to tell people they give no fucks when they actually give serious fucks, or if they're trying to avoid it all together.
The problem with IRC is that any of the good players get fed up and just go over to the warm embrace of Elo and his merry band of munnins, biggest example is Bobbi Atwell, the head of IRC's "military", heading over during the kalevala campaign due to what one could only assume was bureaucratic bs from HC. There are quite a few more examples and i wouldn't be surprised if alot of the legion have a history with IRC. (The issue is with fc talent when elo lead 150 IRC members into glorious battle they were quite victorious)
tl;dr the answer to why they haven't gained any its that the turnover rate on fc's is so great that any progress soon dissapears.
When xix was kicking solar out, irc suddenly got a lot more space in cobalt edge that they had to fill so they recruited any corp that could rat and fill the space regardless of pvp abilities. Then when xix got kicked out, irc got even more space and with the lack of any close by enemies the carebears flourished while the people who actually liked to shoot stuff got bored and either left or stopped playing. Last time I tried to form up a roaming gang in irc I was able to get 10 dudes in fleet after 30 minutes of spamming alliance chat. When things are going well, fleets are full at the drop of a hat, but the moment before stuff starts going wrong people are already logging off when fleets go up.
Yeah, I also get the feeling that IRC is full of dudes who "will" PVP if asked really nicely or if led by a competent FC but also wouldn't mind avoiding it altogether. Still, the fact that there are FCs who will lead such dudes into battle repeatedly and not get discouraged by the results gives me some semblance of faith in humanity.
..and so they were gone Barzini, Tattaglia and heads of all five families...
Wait, I'm missing something, who are the Corleones?
Bobbi A = good FC, meh....dude he sux balls, only yells at berates everybody in fleets (just b/c he likes to hear himself talk).....Will concur though that most FCs or pvp minded players get tired real quick of IRC HC and their stupid ass politics. I spent 2 years in IRC, God, why I did that I will never know (stupid me). Best case for IRC is to fire their HC, go out and pay for ELO to come in train and/or fly for extend amount of time with small IRC group (15-20) so that they can go back and teach their corp mates. IRC is the BEST meat shield alive in EVE, bar none!
More tech for the tech throne
I've noticed that there's a pretty big disconnect between the general consensus of kugu and what's actually happening. It seems enough people have said it in this thread that people are taking it as fact.
+1 Tech. NCdot tried to bridge into target system but realised that it was unfortunately out of range. They went four jumps through Venal before realising that we'd beat them to it, then turned around to shoot a stray SBU - Vince "no structure shoots" Draken unsurprisingly not sticking true to his word. I'm happy to report that Elo's bombing has improved with the numerical majority of bombs hitting an ENEMY target, but this might've been due to no friendlies on grid.![]()
I think my brain is about to melt. Fucking Aussies don't shut up.
Thanks for giving us a little entertainment BLdot, we do love you.

konfirming that i jiz to the sound of my own voice and that if it isn't my voice on comms i have a heart attack. I think you're thinking of someone else bro, try frsd. I was harsh to the fcs under my command because they should know how to pewpew, the regular line member i approached with an attitude of zero expectations. If you think irc fcs are mean, i hate to break the news to you but you won't survive 2 minutes in a non-irc fleet, irc hc makes a point of telling the fcs that they can't reprimand their fleet members because it doesn't fit with the fuzzy wuzzy feel of the alliance.
its ok as a fallback you can go to lowsec FW![]()
