I don't see DČ being able to finish them up unless they ****ed it with the strontium. Putting PoSes in reinforced is much much easier than destroying them, when you put them in reinforced, you fight on your terms, when you try to finish it, you fight on enemy's terms. DČ has not been able to destroy Goon's PoS so far, why would they succeed detroying Sparta's PoS if goon help them ? |

maybe you should go back to d2 since you post in every single thread about how much goon sucks and d2 rocks |

If you don't like the manner in which the war is being conducted, you should do what you can to change the terms of engagement. Asymetric warfare is not carried out by two parties "presenting" themselves on the battlefield according to somebody's narrow perspective. Complaining about it is just a sign that your enemies have a strategy you can't counter.
Well for one, I'm no longer in the conflict.
But as to your uber uncountrable stratagy. Lets ask sparta who have been left alone to the lions, what they think of it.
I stand by my assertion that you are supposed to present your self on the battle field. Goon's have willinly and openly allowed thier allies to become splintered and kill off one at a time. Good move.
Sparta's received a lot of support from us. They haven't folded yet, and we're not going to let them. Sparta still has sovereignty over its systems in deklein, and it's unlikely that they will lose sov. anytime soon. Unlike D2, we've stood by our allies.
Does "standing by your allies" include leaching NPC's out of their refinery system while they are camped in less than 3 jumps away? If not, you may want to fill Fizzix in. He was having too much fun in UEJX-G, carelessly NPC'ing while his mates suffered. Nice friends Sparta. They don't respect your rules for systems (UEJX = no NPC'ing or mining). What makes you think they respect you? |

I'm very curious as to Alektorophobia's impetus. Is it because of the previous statement that you would counter MC's contracts or is it to fight alongside your ally Burn Eden? Probably both, but which one was the more inspiring factor?
Regardless I know that I will be glad to see you as friendly. Seeing previous hostiles become current allies has always been one of my favorite things in online games. |

It should be pretty obvious that what we meant was that we, like you, do not throw our ships away except to achieve an objective. What Lunas seems to want is for us to log on specially in D2 primetime, with no objective to pursue, and file our ships slowly past his snipers so he can rack up killmails. D2 mostly don't come at us during our primetime. Why should we play differently? It's especially lol because as others have mentioned D2 started the POS spam and now Lunas is complaining that goons have "lost all his respect" (yeah right, you should see what he says about us in local) because we are fighting a POS war that they started. We came in and put up just enough towers to go for sovereignty, and then D2 came and started spamming when it appeared their dreadnought attacks weren't going to break us instantly. Of course if they're spamming towers we have to match them, but we would have been extremely happy to go on having fleet engagements and cutting our teeth on dreadnoughts instead. |

To be fair, and honestly as nuetral as I can be.
No one should be blamed for starting, or engaging in a POS war(in really any conflict). Its the mechanics of the game, and easiest way to achieve an objective. |

I agree completely. I'm not annoyed that D2 played it that way, I'm annoyed that people like Lunas are trying to score off us for "POS spamming" when we didn't choose for the war to go that way. |

Well we are here as a supporting force to goonies and sparta.. D2 want the good old days back with iron we are here to ensure that will not happen. for the most part we are here to harass and delay while allowing sparta and goon to proceed with the next actions. Mc will be here until there contract ends We will be here until D2 is gone or Sparta and goonfleet do not need us anylonger. |

It would take every Goon and Sparta member to be able to recharge the shields on that many POS before D2 primetime comes around again. And unlike XZH, where Goons were fighting mostly D2, there are many more pilots in the US timezone when you throw in all the other corps allied with D2 now against Sparta. |

I mean, that we fight to acheive objectives. Often times we will suicide our ships for our objectives. Which can include destroying the enemy fleet entirely, or breaking enough ships that they are no long combat effective as a unit. A delaying action, like camping gates...which may turn into an interdiction if there is enough support. Or, attacking the enemy where we have the advantage...their wallets. Our ships are cheap, theirs aren't. We lose 100 frigs, but blow up 3 t2 and faction fitted ships, then our objective is achieved. However, just showing up to save face on the forums is not an objective. For two reasons: A) They're forums. The real people making the real decisions has a much better picture of what is happening than what they read on the forums. B) It doesn't matter anyway. We could warp in with 2 caracals and an inty, and totally anihilate 20 BSes, and our enemies would say it was exploits, or lag, or they're so disgusting rich that they sleep on a bed made of BSes fitted with faction gear. whatever. We're used to it. Its been happening as long as i've been a member of Goonfleet. I'm not saying that we only engage when 100% certain of victory. That would be silly, because no one is ever 100% certain. I would have thought that would be obvious. |

Does "standing by your allies" include leaching NPC's out of their refinery system while they are camped in less than 3 jumps away?
If not, you may want to fill Fizzix in. He was having too much fun in UEJX-G, carelessly NPC'ing while his mates suffered.
Nice friends Sparta. They don't respect your rules for systems (UEJX = no NPC'ing or mining). What makes you think they respect you?
Hey, Dont forget about me. I was there too, blatently exploiting Sparta for their Gurista rats. Do you know how sick I am of shooting at Serpentis. Seriously though, Fizzix came up with the same convoy as me that spent 4+ hours putting random POSes into reinforced. One time we had our battleships shooting at a POS when and the rest of us sitting camping one of the gates. There was an equal sized enemy force that was headed straight for us. We waited and waited, but this EQUALLY MATCHED force would never engage us, just run back and forth trying to find another way around us. We didnt even have our battleships there. At about 2 in the morning we wandered on over to CZD so most of our people could log off. Alot of us stayed up to try and fight the D2 + friends harassing people in that system but they seemed to be content with warping an eagle or other sniper in at 200km just to pop a frig then warp off. Since it became apparent that the only thing I was going to get in CZD was bored, I asked our Sparta people where I could go to rat and thats where they sent me. Noone ever mentioned anything about it being off limits. The only time I could get any D2 or ally to engage me that night was when I had switched over to ratting gear and had already wasted all my cap tanking a rat when I got jumped by 4 hostiles. The same thing happened in Syndicate a day or two earlier. A D2 gank squad came to town to try and cause trouble. They had no problems engaging people when they caught them one at a time, but when we and 3FA got together a similarly sized defense gang the only thing D2 would engage was their warp drives straight to their safespot where they waited until most of the gang got bored. I have some mad respect for the D2 that have actually been giving us good even numbered fights, but most of the time even if we are looking to get killed D2 wont engage us unless they are positive they have a bigger fleet and can win. Some D2 are like a bad girlfriend, constantly leaving me with blue balls. Edit: Post is kind long so I'll shorten it. D2 wouldn't give us the fight we were looking for so we went ratting. We didn't know UEJ was off limits, noone told us, and infact I'm pretty sure a high ranking sparta guy was the one who told us to go there. |

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!! You can even see on our kb for involved ppl in every fight (click the red "F") that this is exactly NOT the case nearly EVERY time. Oh my god, please if you wanna lie SO blatantly come up with something better. Unbelievable... D2 wouldn't give us the fight we were looking for so we went ratting.Erm, which fight are you looking for??? When you have 5 to 1 odds? Or more? And if conditions of a fight dont suit you, you stand by and watch 18 posses of your allies getting put into reinforce mode? |

It's been the case ever since you guys quit fighting in XZH. I've been pretty involved in the fighting, and D2 consistently avoids engagements unless they posses an overwhelmingly superior force, ie. a 2:1 ratio at the very least. Even then, they still use flighty sniper tactics, warping away any time a frigate gets within 50 km of their fleet. I don't have any issues with your tactics, especially given the losses we've inflicted on you when we do lock you down with tacklers and force an engagement, but the chestbeating and baldfaced lying on the forums gets old. |

Wow, all this stuff is crap and it's funny to see people go nuts over it. I guses when you are out of the game for a few months you look at stuff like this and have a good laugh at the folks going goofy over it.
Hahaha.. Woodlouse and Lorth own this thread. Don't even bother posting anymore because those 2 are the most logical of all and you can't beat them, so honestly, stop it! I love them both <3
Anyways, I'm sure what's going on is a lot better then sitting around doing nothing, so trying to act tough that you are going off on D2 and it's their end, blah blah blah, doesn't mean much.. I'm sure they welcome it, since it's something to do... so shut up and play. |
