SoT is apparently serious about shooting MH. Does anyone still like MH besides Morsus Mihi? I know RZR complains about them 24/7, though probably not enough to actually shoot them.

I would not be surprised if SoT goes for MH for timesink, however i do not think they have any interest in their territory.
but as always its my ~speculation~
Whats up with the highend(s) in cloud ring ?
are they still under PL/SOT/Ev0ke whoever thats holding them and isn't MH controll ? Or does Mostly Harmless have them ?
if razor/tcf/mm are going south who's going to help MH
Got internet hooked up again.

Any idea what Molle is going to do with his brand new alliance?
MT pos spammed 4-e (BYRN hq station system) a couple of days ago and reinforced all BYRN posses in there. One came out today, just got destroyed by MT bs fleet and then got hotdropped by PL. Mt lost about 15 bs and killed 3, PL held the field.
It was actually rzr that reinforced all the towers for mt, all mt did was take down the jammer and put up 4 towers.
RA made a move on m-mb again today while -a-/atlas v. everyone else was forming to deal with gge -a- dyspro; RA got intercepted 1 out from m-m and dd'd:

The dyspro in gge was successfully defended again.
There is nothing in Eve more funny than BoB becoming pets. Possibly BoB living in S-U.
Cloud Ring:
The war drags on as Ev0ke tries to plant more pos in the region. It seems to be a losing battle but with most of the northern A listers heading south they might actually stand a chance and causing an IRON style cascade. Bad as Mostly Harmless is they are much better than IRON is though, that we can all admit.
Info came from this forum and SHC.
Scalding Pass:
Razor Alliance took official control over one of the stations in Scalding Pass which they will be basing out of.
Info came from the automatic influence map.
Wicked Creek:
A number of mostly futile attempts to wretch sov from various Wicked Creek systems have been undertaken by Minor Threat, Red Alliance, Razor and others. "Strong rumors" suggest that Tau Ceti Federation will be heading southeast as well.
Am I the only one who finds it funny that R64 defense ops can gather so many more players than regular station defense? Still, its starting to look like it won't make a difference. Sc0rched Earth is starting to turn into the next M.Pire/F4T4L/DeStInY/Youwhat/other alliances which collapsed when war drew near without actually going through a long siege process. Those who have been reading these forums can most assuredly see the despair in the words of the BYRN posters, they know its coming to a close. To be honest I wouldn't even say anything bad about Bobby if he stops defending BYRN because in their current state they really are worthless.

Immensea:
Nothing worth mentioning happened here. Which is worth mentioning. Why hasn't the Initiative. done anything lately? Dark Taboo has been mostly neutralized, its time for you to go out and shoot at people.

Delve[/b]:
A number of tower ops against Hun Reloaded, Triumvirate, etc. have been planned by Goonswarm, some of them have even been carried out! More on that in the Internet section... Cora is shutting down and dispersing its pilots to the other Tri corporations. Cora's leader, Kai, has joined AAA for rest and relaxation.
Think of that Kai in AAA thing as being similar to the Hans in the Mercenary Coalition deal, he gets to join a competent, active group of people and put less work in at the same time. Cora was always more wank than spank though so don't expect their closing to affect Tri much.

The Roundup:
Sir Molle's corporation, Evolution, has formed a new alliance- IT Alliance.
Beyond Divinity has also formed their own alliance- Beyond Virginity. Lovely name by the way, guys.
Executive Outcomes, like all of the old pets, is becoming increasingly irrelevant and thus cascading. The difference, in this case, though are that the cascade is coming not from the peripheral corps but from the alliance executors, Omega Enterprises. They have dropped from 200+ members to 70 (on the nose) in a little under two months.
Rent day for Shadow of Death, a few peeps kicked and one added.
Another "big" corp has left The Compass, that carebear group that I predicted would be wardecced into oblivion a few days ago.
Several corps have left The Council., who are "famous" for creating a badly placed station in Pure Blind a few months ago.
A corp left Veritas Immortalis today.
Sylph Alliance is recruiting again, they had two corps join them yesterday.
Vanguard Frontiers, a big corporation that has gotten progressively worse over the past two years has joined Slightly Inappropriate. lol

The Internet:
Someone has been DDOSing the Goonswarm forums lately and this has lead to a number of problems. Oh well, metagaming is what Eve is all about.Eve's own server problems, caused by the recent patch being deployed, did not help matters either and resulted in several op cancellations. Not all of them though (see above.) Also expect me to start a new, better formatted, updates thread soon (as in within a week, probably tomorrow.) Incidentally, sorry for being pretty inactive (not answering PMs, etc.) over the past few days, I was busy with my real life. Fortunately fall semester starts on Monday and I am taking mostly low level courses this time so I can feel free to kick back and ignore school in favor of the internet again.
Incidentally my best updates came back around May when I was posting updates between classes and thus wide awake and wide aware, expect that quality to return (Russians---this was the month before you started reading, my updates turned to crap the week they started getting translated. Of course the fact that I was able to report on four wars then and only have two half-wars now sort of contributed to the decline.)

I'd enjoy that: 3-way anyone?
The current squatters there, in S-U: SCALE (with various friends - OI, EXM etc. ), have beaten back a small coalition: (with Raining Doom, BlackGuard Coalition and Legem Terrae making haste to other regions in short order) The Drift, Clockwork Pineapple and LAWN remaining. BOZO has been Active in the area as well.
more as the world turns: the F-OFF crew (ex EXE/AGGRO) are apparently now in DEFI4NT.
Systematic-Chaos dreads were shooting a Brick Squad POS in J-AYLV in Stain and got hotdropped by GoonSwarm and Brick Squad. The alliance lasted as long as the hotdrop did.
I'd have numbers but GoonFleet.com is getting DDoS'd again.
It's like 20 caps killed 0 lost for GS.
M.PIRE/F4T4L actually fought NC + friends (17 alliances total) for approx 5 months of intense sieging and counter-sieging. To put them into the same category of Destiny et al. shows a remarkable lack of knowledge of the details of that campaign, fun though it was.
Yeah, they played around for months but left the day the north got serious a second time. Unplanned cowardice too as Fatal (or was it M.Pire?) had just dropped a station the day before. Also that whole selling another corporation's towers over to the enemy thing that destroyed F4T4L.

It is somewhat funny but it also points out the real problem with 0.0 SOV. People really don't care too much about stations and belts, they take space more often than not for the moons.Am I the only one who finds it funny that R64 defense ops can gather so many more players than regular station defense?
Change the way moon mining materials are introduced into the eve universe and I bet you have an easy way to impact 0.0 stagnation very quickly without a lot of coding an overhaul.
less then a day after this a Burn Eden Titan was tackled in 6qbh. Help was asked for and br1ck jumped (suicided) 30 or so caps in without support to try to save it as fast as we could get a cyno. Unfortunately the Titan died as the first br1ck dreads hit siege and the carriers got lock.
Much carnage later with 300 in local br1ck had killed 5 dreads and lost most of what they brought. Much smack ensued of course.
0.0
Sev3rance dropped an outpost in Providence, and Minor Threat got their first Sov 4! Red Alliance lost a Sov 3 non-station system in Insmother, and the system is now neutral.

I have no fucking clue, a lot of EVE sites are getting DDoSed, including kugutsumen.com. Not to worry though, I've been told we have unlimited bandwidth.
Sorry for the shitty update, but most of my sources of information are currently not responding and Alex sprung this on me about 5 minutes ago.
It looks like scorched earth space is now under full assault, at the moment there is 33 hostile towers spammed through the 4-e sov4 area and m-mb, of notable parties spamming towers are TNT, Minor Threat, Red Alliance, and XIX.
It would appear legion have taken over the assault on M-MB (which has a promethium) due to red alliance failing at the assault 3 times in a row. Likewise appears goons are no longer trying to spin this war but instead outwardly smacking that "atlas is going to lose all its space, were coming for you"; question remains how committed rzr/mm are to doing goons foot work again, despite them promising their membership the polar opposite of what they are now committing to.
Goons arent even around at the moment. What are you talking about?
Have you ever considered that we are here because we want to be close to reds? You are red, we might shoot at you, please dont try to make it any more complicated than that.
Bobby is talking about the 7 goons in ceptors that was hanging with a 180 man RA/XIX fleet two days ago.
Bobby, have you ever considered that what the random CAOD posters are saying does not necessarily have to be Goonswarm's real policy? Even if it is I suspect they'll back right the fuck off once it becomes apparent that AAA would actually show up to defend Atlas space. The real question, in my mind, is what will happen to the Initiative?
Badges of Honor: Three probations, one reversed.
I do not read CAOD; I am referring to vile rat and mitanni own words.
In other news, PL/RZR ninja-sieged an -a- dyspro this morning in detorid bordering byrn 3-L station where byrn lost sov3 control. They managed to snag an 0200 timer in a system that holds no friendly sov control, will probably be an uneventful pos death.
where can i find vile rats and mittanis own words? link?

or, since he is talking high level diplo stuff probably goonswarm internal communications or CAOD/SHC
Badges of Honor: Three probations, one reversed.
I looked at caod and shc and couldn't find it.
A AAA dyspro moon POS coming out in neutral sov? Within a few jumps of AAA core sov? If this doesnt generate a massive capfight then nothing will.
Razor is euro TZ too, it doesnt matter, Im sure everyone will be coming out for this one.
Im personally predicting the largest capfight in Eve history despite Bobby's comments.
can't remember which thread it was a few weeks ago already, but yes, Goons going for atlas space was also in a CAOD thread/announcement. but caod is caod, that was prolly just trolling, we'll see how everything turns out.
on the other side, if atlas gets even into a little trouble do you still think goons will not get involved to hurf blurf over victories?
Elsewhere
The two remaining major Executive Outcomes corporations (OFE, LFC) are rapidly losing members, while a new corporation with a highly imaginative name (The Executives) seems to be rapidly growing. I am sure this is unrelated though.

If someone would fight over wicked creek in the current state, would have to be stupid from AAA/Atlas side. You have nothing to gain and a lot to loose. Tbh defense against the friends block is like throwing fuel into fire, the more you fight it, the bigger it will be nxt time. Will be interesting to see how long can Detorid hold (i say 2 months).
How much Sc0rched was/is horrible, iam pretty sure every other alliance in their position would loose their space, albeit little bit slower. YOu wont hold RZR/PL/GOON/LEGION/RA/MT/TNT/the small ones when they smell blood an cheap kills.
Its very popular to say that noone is pretty much involved, cause than it looks like 1v1 (oh honour) but even if you have a fleet on standby, its involvment, as it changes completely the decisions and outcome on the battlefield.
Well that certainly was an enlightening update, Vinata. >
Wicked Creek:
An R64 in neutral sovereignty was reinforced today. A number of Sc0rched Earth systems have come under assault by various coalition (and thats what I am calling them again, remember) forces including Legion of xeathXx dropping poses. Goonswarm has not made much of a regular, organized appearance despite postings preparing their general membership for it.
The war seems to be heating up again, contrary to what Bobby has said expect there to be a big fight at that R64. Since Death is being more involved in these fights expect the coalition groups to actually stand a chance this time- XIX is probably two to three times as powerful as Red Alliance despite only having a third of its member base. Yes, my return to form includes more Red bashing, oh boy oh boy. I would expect the goons to get more active in the east again soon, they have done little over the past few weeks.
Info came from kugutsumen, Scrapheap Challenge and dotlan.
Stain and Esoteria:
So, Systemic Chaos is totally huge now, they are one of the ten biggest alliances in the game currently. Just throwing that out there. Burn Eden lost a titan to Systemic Chaos and Brick Squad lost a few caps in the engagement as well. A joint Goonswarm/Brick Squad op had killed a few Systemic Chaos capitals the day before.
Yuto status: Still dumb.
Info came from dotlan, SHC, kugutsumen and would have been clarified on the goon forums if they had been responsive at the time.
The Roundup:
Five (or more) stations have been deployed in the past four days. This combined with the recent spat of titan kills and the war in the east seems to hint towards Eve finally heating up again. Well, that or its a coincidence.
Dark Taboo appears to be losing a few corps/members. Not sure whether or not this counts as a cascade but it very well might.
Two corps left Quebec Consortium.
A former terrorist group/Varangians. corp has left Red Alliance after falling apart over the past two months.
Another corp left Scorched Earth today.
U.N.I.O.N, who should probably be mentioned in the unofficial coward contest, have formed their own alliance, Smokin' Guns.
Another good-sized corp left Sylph Alliance.
Another corp pulled out of The Compass. Torn apart within a month, as I predicted.

The Internet:
As Vinata said, we have been getting DDoSed a bit lately. Due to our unlimited bandwidth we have not had any problems but at the same time it is supposedly highly annoying for the people (not me) who have to deal with it. I find it hilarious, on a personal note. The fact that I can't get on the Goonswarm forums hints to their continuing troubles as well.
Bobby Atlas, are you the real Bobby Atlas?
Also laffo at SHC still being butthurt enough to scare people into not mentioning our forum by name (is the k word still filtered there too or did Chowdumb finally take that out?)
