It would be like if all the 1000+ posters of TL made an alliance. It wouldn't be destroyed very easily. | ||

Karttoon was always the best. He was the true face of goonery. Mittens was too much of a try-hard, what with all the espionage and waking up in the middle of the night screaming about spies in fridges. But Karttoon reflected the values of a griefer perfectly. Even though I quit the game a long time ago I still go back and watch videos of battleships smartbombing miners. That was the best way to play the game. [/personal opinion] | ||

That's completely accurate, but I don't like analyses like this. It's a game who cares :S | ||

CVA + their buddies are getting steamrolled by AAA. CVA was famous for their NRDS (not red dont shoot) policy which allowed newbs to get into a rather safe 0.0 space without having to worry about anything as long as they obey the rules set by CVA. Few days ago CVA decided to dabble with AAA sov, AAA responded by taking D-G which was the main entrance from their space to cva space. In the battle for D-G cva lost a huge capfleet to the superior AAA forces. AAA offered CVA to give the system back as long as CVA would stop any aggression towards them (afaik CVA attacked AAA at the same time they got attacked by goons like a year ago? If anyone else got more info here, go for it.) CVA didn't accept these conditions which made AAA like "k, cu." Posted: Thu Feb 04, 2010 8:16 pm Post subject: Providence thread, 04/02/10 All hostile SBU's dead in every system. No -A- systems threatened at the moment. 9UY is besieged and since downtime the hostiles have not made a play to even move into the system. We are RI'ing other random and somewhat insignificant POS's in order to have something to do while our support fleet ganks small ships moving here and there in providence. First important timers come out tomorrow. 9UY was CVAs capital, it has fallen without any capital resistance. The remaining people evac'd their assets to highsec as far as possible. Personally I'm hoping that CVA somehow get's their space back, it was one of the most fun parts of 0.0 to roam in. Their pilots/ratters/FCs simply sucked hard but they got insane numbers for defense with extremely short response times. RIP CVA. :\ | ||

It's interesting stuff. It's not the analysis I have a problem with - I said it was completely accurate - it's that it feels jingoistic. Now I think I imagined it, but I saw goon resentment in that summary. Please excuse me for that, there's been a lot in the past few pages. As for your comparison with chess analysis, I don't think any meaningful connection exists. Superficially, yes, we have people who know the game commenting and making predictions. However, there's, I think, three key differences. One, EVE is far more ambiguous and intricate than chess, so it is impossible to take a detailed look at past events. What we are left with is battle reports by vitamin-D deficient jingoists and sov maps. Two, every method of prediction and analysis seems to rely in part on some kind pseudo-psychology, and there is no one with any kind of expertise giving analysis. In my mind the chief populariser for analysis of 0.0 warfare is the Mitanni, and his knowledge of psychology extends as far as 3 books and a college course. Three, there's no objective frame of reference. The only people who know half a shit at the very least about 0.0 politics and warfare are the ones who are engaged in it. Chess analysis is something that comes centuries of tradition of third party analysis, whereas EVE 0.0 analysis is really bad fan-fic | ||
