dbrb is going on vacation, it's likely a troll. dbrb probably wasn't solely responsible for it, the entire directorate is ineffectual plus retarded and karttoon just lets them do whatever stupid shit they want to do because he isn't really interested in anything past empire jihad

He wasn't stripped of his FC position or kicked out of the corp, though his supposed ragequit is probably a troll.

He was stripped of being in charge of the FC program, something which probably has to do with the fact that he's been consistently doing the exact opposite of what's needed to get new decent FCs.

in before being the exception rather then the rule?

in before being the exception rather then the rule?

Let me put it this way: If Stainwagon, without AAA/ROL/Atlas support, decided to invade Fountain, what do you think would happen?

[SolarKnight]

was actually in response to the atlas guy... (cross posting ftl)

the less support they got, the faster the offensive would be halted.

[boingo]

Atlas just uprooted RA from insmother again.

inb4killingdeadallianceslol

they didn't do it by themselves

[frAK5f9e]

They had help from RA

[frAK5f9e]

Sigh, people always seem to go attack people with lots of friends then wonder why they get blobbed to hell...

Kartoon said that they expected to be blobbed in a forum post on the goon forums.

hahaha look at all these new accounts showing up.

And they are all better posters then you :cripes:

BKS did join ZAF at one point, several went to SOLAR, several flipped to XIX and then went to ROL, so I really have no idea. I don't think, however, that there are any signs that their decision to stay in Omist instead of move to Querious was our fault.

UNL was stricken with a severe lack of active leadership at the time and since there was no one to step up and okay a move they didn't have one or even really pull back their forces from the PS systems. The other coalition members (Goonswarm, RA, XIX, whatever) should have pushed their directors harder to make a decision even without an active leader. I mean it was fucking obvious that they were in an undefendable area with their space as spread out and far south as it was.

why do you hate me so

[Alex Clomsaver]

I don't think the membership is going to be particularly shaken by this for the same reason we weren't shaken by the first abortive Esoteria campaign: We didn't lose anything the membership cares about.

Wait, when was this?

GS did push them. They wanted the good fights~

Back before ROL/AAA turned and we were defending Esoteria against Stainwagon.

I know it was on the last few pages, but the discussions here are getting better and better with each day passing. I think kugu and this thread particularly are starting to shape up as the next meaningful platform for discussion. And we all have to thank Alex for that. I know I registered because of this thread and the huge hype it generated within the russian forum community.

Anyway, it still amazes me how little people actually know about and more importantly comprehend AAA. Even after its public exposure days during Jake's "SUPERFRIENDS" days on CAOD, groups such as Goonswarm (known for their super solar spy master) do not know basic things about their newborn mortal enemy.

I still clearly remember a discussion on TS with AAA's old-club boys on the matter of public exposure. Famous EVE-RU porn star Blaster Worm then said "Keep a low profile lads, enemies fear an opponent they do not know more".

But I guess, unveiling a few things won't hurt - particularly misconceptions that can actually offend people's e- and rl- egos.

DKOD is a former IAC corporation, which at some point in time merged with another old, old, old-school IAC corp - FIRMA. They have since been members of AAA. Their composition is EU and US.

PPN is a former Stain Empire, German-speaking corporation, which was born from the merger of two German corporations - one of them Prodigy Enterprises, the other's corp name unfortunately I do not remember. They have been members of AAA since forever.

VVS Corporition (yes, they spelled "corporation" wrong) is a Russian-speaking corporation whose history I do not know. They have, too, been members of AAA since the dawn of time.

Now, that "poll" that seliana mentioned a few pages ago may or may have not been taken place. But I remember waving around a link to a graph, that I compiled from data readily available on Dotlan, labeled "AAA Demographics". It was a 2 minute work with Excel that basically showed that AAA is now predominantly EU and US-centered with around 60% to 40% in favor of United States of Europe and America members.

AAA is an outstanding internet spaceships entity that, if nothing else, is EVE's first major example of Russians and Europeans/Americans coexisting together, and more importantly, kicking e-ass all around the place. It is the imperialistic globalist's wet dream come true.

[Alex Clomsaver]

That was mostly correct except for a few parts that were not. (PPN was formed from three merged corps, the extremely old version of Curse Alliance was the first powerful and important Russian/others alliance, etc.)

[Fartman]

EVE's first major example of Russians and Europeans/Americans coexisting together

sry, nop. old school RA (2004/2005 era) had a rather sizable US/EU English-speaking wing back in the day.
REUNION was a consolidation of alot of the English speaking corps. others member corps, like Alcatraz,
went on to form TNT.

[Antoshka]

I know a few R.N guys from the US (and that's all there was when they joined AAA), but there's not a whole lot of them. As for Curse Alliance, it might hold some truth, I started playing in 2007.

THE FALL OF ESOTERIA

STANDING ORDERS:

1. Withdraw to TPAR.
2. Prepare to defend PA-V in Period Basis against Romulans

WHAT THE FUCK:

Vietnam is a poor gimmick for this war, because since we're opting to cut our losses it has instead become something of a Bay of Pigs. We could bog down in A1 after losing a host of towers in the face of 700 hostiles last night in our primetime, or we could say "Here's what went wrong" and sever.

WHAT WENT WRONG:

First, the attack should have focused on stations, not logistics hubs, with GS at the tip of the spear and not ZAF. Instead, ZAF was given a station to take, and GS was assaulting a bridge system. Should GS have succeeded, the enemy would have been impacted somewhat, but not as grievously as if we had been grinding on a station. ZAF was distracted by their loss of sov in PA-V and the Romulan invasion of that system, and so couldn't really concentrate against their Esoteria station target; moreover, they don't have much experience in the vanguard assault position. That station was not taken and the hostile bloc could concentrate against us in A1.

While losing a capfleet is no big deal to us, combined with the IGNE titan loss, our enemies saw weakness and surged over the weekend to bring 700 people against our 100 in our primetime. Pubbies don't understand that we think the IGNE thing is funny, they just smell blood in the water and swarm. Our timers and pos-fittings haven't had a chance to recover in A1 and our foothold on that system never fully established.

This invasion was planned by someone who does not usually do our war planning. It was a 'final exam' of sorts, and that exam was failed. However, you can legitimately blame the directorate for entrusting such an important plan to someone who screwed it up.

For example, allies were going to be making some distracting assaults on the blocs involved to draw attention away such that Atlas couldn't gangpile in along with Stainwagon, ROL and -A-. Those assaults did not happen because the person who was planning the war never confirmed these plans with our allies, nor followed up with them.

Logistics was also a disaster with GSOL essentially being unprepared for the invasion and left scrambling to pick up the pieces while understaffed.

In sum, the directorate fucked up by delegating the invasion to the wrong person and not making sure these critical issues were being handled competently.

WHAT NOW:

Expect an energized foe to strike us. Romulans moved six Jump Freighters into PA-V, in Period Basis, a former ZAF station system. In the near term we will be retreating to TPAR and preparing to help defend PA-V.

Meanwhile, ROL has been running distraction attacks on us in Querious, so we need to trim out a few small staging towers they dropped on us, and possibly make some reprisal attacks on their moons in Khanid.

Everyone hates DBRB and he can shrug all that shit off like water off a duck's back so they made him the scape goat, neat. Also ZAF lost a station system to Leguinae Romanaia? Neat. (No, I'm not going to use that stupid fucking nickname, go fuck yourselves.)

What a fucking crock, I can point out more than a few things in there that are probably lies but why bother. Oh well, these are the supposedly "invincible" BoB created sov4s so lets see how far into this the alliance actually wants to get.

Oh and look, Finfleet joined IT.
