Delve: The Good, the Bad and Marivauders Fucking Ugly

0.9999999999~ IS NOT 1

0.9999999999~ IS NOT 1

That's just an emotional response my friend. It actually is.

[Berdennol]

Well hello there AJ Regard . Since you are great at math, do take another peek on the PL killboard, now include the systems next door and then look at the TEST KB for final blows not on PL board and come back to me with your 41 ))).

Aah right, I see now. You talk about 30+20+6= 56 in JP (still a lot more than the 41 on eve-kill BR doctor)
Another dozen in systems on the run back to C3N. In those systems I found exactly 2 dead maels. (1 nulli and 1 AAA in D-W)

Now again, I don't let numbers get in the way of a good story either. But have you ever considered that if you'd report on these fights a bit more evenly, you'd get more of them? Hell under the circumstances, why not even go the other way?

Make it sound as if SoCo fought like cornered lions and inflicted heavy casualties while going down fighting. We might get cocky enough to start giving you more fights and superkills.

I can hear the tears in fleetchat afterwards already:

"But shadooeypoo said we were brave special little snowflakes, why oh why would he lie to us?"

hai im new here. have you ever considered http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychological_warfare

[shin chan]

The last thing pl wants is fights of any kind. Which I'm all for chilling in Npc while the kids have their slapfight.
All pl is bringing is boredom. The carebear in me is thrilled that pl and friends drop 50 caps a fight, means nulli and friends will run home faster and I can get back to jewing the market. Wonder how long nulli puts up with getting bled to death. Either way, this thundersnore is killing me.

We need a tl;dr version of this snorefest.

And can we please skip the lame as fuck tic for tac 10 page after reports? Fucking Christ. The "BR" of all fights so far except for the BL fight, is both sides are fags.

[Berdennol]

Holy shit noooo, never heard of it. This is a completely new concept to me.

It all makes sense now!

Now good heavens, I really wish there was some sort of countermeasure against it...

Yes, I am in fact this bored at work, sue me

[Stammerer]

so lets talk about that bastard son of a bitch in the saber that kept me bubbled off the WHOLE FUCKING FIGHT

that made my day

thats ace then i suggest http://www.goarmy.com/careers-and-jo...pecialist.html you might not get bored at work anymore

yeah im pretty bored at work too

[Shadoo]

I apologize my count was off by 6 battleships, I feel really bad now . PL KB for ... historical reasons doesn't sync or allow feeds to eve-kill, so you will never get a very accurate BRDOC until days after.

I'm sorry if you're not having much fun, I've been there -- working with RA is... painful. But hang in there, I'm sure we'll get bored VERY soon and just leave so you can go back to whatever it is you do around here.

[Raketefrau]

In before the math and grammar posti....

Shit.

It's pretty much always like grade school around here, but not so much like the classroom parts....

[GreenDaemon]

As in, mazzilliu trolling the fuck out of Karbowiak for trying to poll PL's board, and fucking the server for a bit

[someguyfromoverthere]

This looks fun. How come goons don't get to join in?

[Endie]

This looks fun. How come goons don't get to join in?

Test are our bros, while AAA are the sort of laughworthy collection of bumbilng-but-fondly-remembered previous victims that anyone would love to shoot: we'd be down there very happily if they asked us. But Test are keen to run this one themselves (albeit contracting out the FCing to PL) and have asked us to give them space to do so.

If, however, they reach a point where they need to tag us in to save the day, then rest assured that we'll be there for them like the 7th Cavalry.

[DurrHurrDurr]

This looks fun. How come goons don't get to join in?

They'll bring FA with them and fuck everything about that.

[Kitty Vintner]

This looks fun. How come goons don't get to join in?

You can join in if you have a falcon alt.

They'll bring FA with them and fuck everything about that.

That's no way to talk about your allies

[Shadoo]

Hey goons -- come on down, water is warm and the tears are delicious.

Let's make babies in 49- again.

Noooooooo

the B:R ratio was finally starting to get favorable again

[Endie]

Truth is, Shadoo, that I have my supers packed and awaiting the call from SKYMARSHAL STABITY. Penif will be like "yo I need a cap buddy" and I'll be all "yo penif I got your back brosef" and he'll be all "high five Endie" and I'll be like "good to have you back on board P-star o7o7o7om8" as a bit of a teasing jibe between good friends and we'll both laugh and cyno to death or glory.

[penifSMASH]

Endie, come down to Delve and we can DD pubbie scrublords together and then tag team post about it in the MMO HMO thread o7 :911:

[Endie]

yeah not to throw cold water on this but all my supers are caldari at the moment so I'm not going to be allowed in your fleet

[Endie]

BUT I'LL GUARD THE BASE TIL THE WARRIORS RETURN

[Cranky old man]

Well hello there AJ Regard .

Okay, you got me. Who?

[Shadoo]

My 7 Torp Launcher Leviathan has seen more action in the last month than in about 2 years prior.

Just sayin' -- nothing shots struktura like 4 BCU torp levi. I just need to get 3x RF TPs shipped down because Maelstroms still are an issue :-/.

[Cranky old man]

All I know is that I can't stop listening to that "Fight us, Maybe?" Song :-)

[Lucas Quaan]

I apologize my count was off by 6 battleships, I feel really bad now .

You should. The PL summary you linked actually shows 81 BS killed, which is 30% more than the original 62 stated for those keeping score.

[Krutoj]

Try shooting towers and shit, you will love it

[zero]

I don't know why you guys don't stick to numbers you can count on two hands.

[Mr Coloredshirt]

I don't know why you guys don't stick to numbers you can count on two hands.

Do we have any Ukrainians here, maybe they can help out with the larger numbers?

[fr0stii]

[Berdennol]

Not to mess with your mind or anything, but that link includes a fight with RA Tempests in T8T. Like 12 hours before the fight in JP4.

[Endie]

This thread is currently showing an unacceptable 11.3% variation from mean posting standards, but on the upside we have a positive first and second derivative on the quality curve so we should be outta this hole in no time!

[Scotch]

yeah not to throw cold water on this but all my supers are caldari at the moment so I'm not going to be allowed in your fleet

To be fair, they'd probably love to have you since you'd be primary.

[Endie]

To be fair, they'd probably love to have you since you'd be primary.

Yeah I was in the corps diplo channel saying "I've got my belongings wrapped in a red and white checked handkerchief I'm off to Delve wish me luck boys!" and they were "contrary to what scurrilous individuals claim we're not blue to PL or 99% or some dudes called tasha yarr or something so you will die" so the dream that was Delve is once again no more than a wistful longing whispered by old men by the flickering light of the goon campfire.

your caldari capital would be fine - test brings wyverns and leviathans to fleets ))))))))))))

[Nemes]

ITT the myth that nerds are good at math is debunked. Society thanks you all. Unfortunately there was no myth that nerds are witty and funny, so as you were.

So honest question for anyone who can give an answer. Will TEST be installing some pets in Delve long term, or is this going to be another "Invade and then the ocean recedes and who cares what happens afterwards" type of sov grind? I feel like I'm about to see TEST grow up, and frankly I'm as unsure of what will become of them after that as I am of where they'll finally grow body hair. Exciting times at Delvemont High.

[Anaheim]

All I know is that I can't stop listening to that "Fight us, Maybe?" Song :-)

It's very catchy..

[Opti]

Endie, still waiting for that ~amazing goons war, coming in one month from now, no not as in first of june but somewhere in the middle~

way to leave a bros ass hanging in the wind, you never know which hot guys are going to take notice

ill even take delve at this point, i can drop so many PL hating one liners in local

[Opti]

"Endie" > 420 dual-box supercaps erryday

[srly]

Looks like this thread clearly needs more supers dieing, so maybe Nulli should invite Black Legion to prop them up and lure Elo into losing a nyx or something to generate content, not this 10+ page faggotry over fucking numbers.

As I remember about three minutes after that I mumbled about "does anyone have any citadel cruises?" in a low tone.

Trust me when I say, this is Pulitzer-fucking-prize winning stuff compared to the 40 preceding pages.

we're not blue to ... 99%

What, seriously?

Hot damn, welcome to Delve, 99%!

[Cranky old man]

I feel like I'm about to see TEST grow up, and frankly I'm as unsure of what will become of them after that as I am of where they'll finally grow body hair. Exciting times at Delvemont High.

I'm sorry, but I just can't see giving Test a lot of credit myself. I mean, what exactly are they doing? They are providing boots on the ground under the instruction of FCs from another alliance (PL) whose own military supremacy with supers is the other major factor allowing Test to make advances on the sov map.

Test has a great many pilots and was smart enough to belong to a good coalition. I give them credit for organization and political sense in those areas. But for someone like the Goon guy (in a different post) to say something like "we offered to help but Test wanted to do this on their own" is laughable. They aren't doing it on their own. I don't have a problem with someone having powerful friends, but let's be clear about who is tipping the scales here and who is most responsible for the successes Test is having. They can take every system from NOL to Z-M as far as I'm concerned. They still won't have done anything "on their own." If you guys say you feel like they are growing up or getting things done on their own, then let's fight them mano y mano and see how it shakes out. They have more than three times our numbers and presumably a fair number of supers on their own. I'm not in Nulli leadership, but I bet our guys would be willing to go toe to toe for Delve against Test with all other parties (such as PL) removing themselves from the theater. Test FCs and pilots against Nulli FCs and pilots. If they beat us up that way, I'll give them a lot of credit -- and so will the rest of the community. THAT would be them truly growing up and earning their stripes.

Everyone does tend to get a hard on for Elo's Nyx, this is true. The best is when people think it bothers him, though. If only you could have heard our comms the night we dropped in for a visit where, after getting DD'd 6 times with other DDs spooling, he says, "Ok, Frobond, I'm going to die in a second here, get ready to take over. Be ready."

[Kitty Vintner]

bitter words about my best bros TEST

They made friends with PL on their own. Nulli meanwhile made friends with -A- :laffo:

Haha, there seems to be this myth in Nulli that you guys are toughing this out on your own...you're not, you weren't before we got here, and you wouldn't if we left.


Your view of reality is seriously damaged.

Are you saying they are not on your team?
