I don't think fweddit has done nothing the fw, or whatever minimizing of their impact some put forward. But I want to say that when they first joined, many of us in the minmatar militia (at least in the late night tz I am active in) thought that fweddit would be a pvp focused opponent for us to fight. Things in this timezone have been so one and off, where one side has way more people active and then the other side has way more people active so that the periods of time where there are plentiful good fleet fights has been small. One side then the other over the years has mostly been in control. So with the amarr currently down in active pilots, some of us thought that fweddit would show up and be a pvp focused group to battle with.<br /><br />It worked like that for awhile, with fweddit having numbers but low skill points, and fights were fast and furious. Minmatar won the kill count usually but fweddit won the isk battle flying cheap small ships en masse. But it didn't take long for the situation to turn into just another pendulum swing like before. Fweddit got more careful about engagements and their numbers got very very big. 70 thrashers, t1 fit or not, is no fight 12 guys are going to hit with any regularity. Minmatar numbers dwindled some and Amarr gorups besides fweddit also started bringing out larger sized fleets. Sometimes we would engage one group only to get sandwiched by the other. Then there is tri gun, who kept wanted to titan bridge a bunch of battleships onto almost any fight. So our numbers active dropped some more. Just the pendulum swinging, no complaints.<br /><br />Back to my point tho, it seems to me that fweddit became as a group more focused on plexing and pve than on pvp, and I think that is why people like Susan decry their role in fw as being less than hoped for. Not to say they are not having a positive affect for the amarr in the war as a whole, just that some of us thought (right or wrong) that fweddit would be a pvp group of pilots who cared more about getting into fights than always knowing they could win before engaging and more than they cared about pelxing and making isk. It seems to me that this has not been the case and to some, that is a disappointment. I think it is fair to say that fweddit has quickly matured into a gorup of fw pilots pretty much like all the others; they want to win any fight they get in or not get in one at all, and easy isk is more desired than random fights. Like any group there are pilots who don't conform to that description, too. But overall, the only way I can say fweddit has failed, is that they failed to be different than the rest of the amarr and indeed fw pilots in general (or I failed by expecting something else<br />from them based on talk before actions began).<br /><br />This is in no way a troll attempt post; it is just a rambling about how I actually see things going from my limited personal experience over time. If you think my take is biased, fine, we are all biased by our perspectives.uriknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9101917425752696234.post-9382452304490166882012-08-09T15:28:14.280-07:002012-08-09T15:28:14.280-07:00I think that it is totally fair to recognize that ...I think that it is totally fair to recognize that the amarr (including fweddit) that were here before Nuli joined the amarr militia did a good job of adjusting their tactics to leave systems vulnerable instead of taking them one at a time just to see them retaken by the minmatar as the next system falls. Of course, until the time comes that the amarr actually take all or most of those systems and upgrade them to reach tier 5 (or at least 4), the tactic is not yet complete. There isn't any value in vulnerablizing systems, after all. But so far so good for the amarr; I hope to see some big battles when they go for the mass flip!<br /><br />I had myself flown around to run plexes in the vulnerable systems thinking to un-vulnerableize them, even if only by 1% per system. Just to make some amarr have to go around and redo it. What I found is that doing plexes in those systems doesn't make them not vulnerable again. After asking around, I heard that by running more plexes in already vulnerable sysems, the systems get 'buffered' into vulnerable. I would have to run an equal amount of plexes to undo the overage just to be able to get get the system to 99% contested. One evening a few us ran 10 plexes in a vulnerable system, but it was still vulnerable. So, to me, there is no reason to even try to undo any of the vulnerable systems because it will take hours of time for pretty much no reward.<br /><br />I have also hear, while inquiring on this, that CCP has taken note of this effect and stated that it is indeed unintentional. They apprently didn't mean for systems to work like this (i guess they thought a faction would always just take a i-hub once vulnerable? poor testing work on their part to be sure). At least this is a now well known bug in the faction war mechanics. It is a bug that the amarr are using to the utmost, since you get LP for plexing in vulnerable systems and it makes the system even more buffered against de-vulnerablizing with apparently no cap at all. I hope CCP fixes this soon (Hans!) even though it would eventually be just as useful for the minmatar as it has been for the amarr (assuming the amarr ever actually take all those systems).<br /><br />I do also recall a number of vocal amarr complaining about the minmatar using some bug to take systems more easily and how unfair it was to the amarr. So my question now is simple: Since this bug is currently clearly beneficial to the amarr, do those same people have a problem with it being used so extensivly? Or is there some reason/excuse as to why its fine now to use a bug that exists for your own benefit but it was not ok before when the minmatar were doing it?<br /><br />Personally, unless CCP declared the use of a bug as a bannable exploit (which they have not) then I don't see that there is anything wrong with benefiting from it (just as there was no problem before. CCP should fix bugs. That is all.) I do however, want the amarr running plexes in vulnerable systems to at least recognize their use of this bug.

Cearain, we have had some decent conversations here about actual mechanics, and Susan has contributed to those talks. Her post after this one about cyno jamming in low sec is a good example. There is actual content to be found even if you don't agree with everything she says, particularly about the current state of teh political landscape of faction war. Honestly, I think that's why you are still here (and me as well). If it is all really just troll work, why would you still be reading and posting?<br /><br />As for Hans, you are right to read and consider his own posts and words when judging his performance and ability as CSM.

I have reports that a lot of mini pilots have blocked the whole alliance because of there local chatter. Again there are exeptions to the rule but its not a good advert for an alliance at all. A GF in local and friendly banter is part of the game, but some of the stuff boarders on being patitioned. Yes i banter in local, im sure a few amarr have me blocked from heat of the moment comments after close fights but there is a line to what people should say and put up with... ok slightly off topic i know. Still loving the fight with the amarr and i know how much tougher our job has become with Nulli Hun and Fweddit flying around, I just hope we can keep the good fighting going and that the warzone does not become broken in a way that all of mini/amarr FW space just becomes one entire LP farm for one side with no fights and no contests.Emokillernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9101917425752696234.post-43115339760985112432012-08-06T10:07:27.426-07:002012-08-06T10:07:27.426-07:00I agree! someone got there before me :( :(I agree! someone got there before me :( :(Emokillernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9101917425752696234.post-91048875423739021952012-08-06T07:20:24.715-07:002012-08-06T07:20:24.715-07:00Hans

Susan posts stuff as fact that is untrue in order to get a rise out of amarr. Amarr gives an accurate account in a way to get a rise out of minmatar. <br /><br />Then, like flustered school marms, you and and other susan supporters say "hey wait you guys need to cool down" to the bloggers that stick it to her. Cant take the heat? Get out of the kitchen. If she stops trolling amarr she won't have this problem. If she keeps it up she knows what to expect. <br /><br />As far as you being brought into it. Well you sort of bring yourself into it don't you? Here you are defending susan *again* right after publicly attacking an amarr blogger. I do not think you are biased, but do you see why many do? Hans your the one publicly picking sides in this pissing match. No one is forcing you to pick sides.<br /><br />Never wrestle with a pig. You will both end up dirty, and the pig just loves it. <br /><br />As far as drinking a beer of course I would, it would be great. I could also find out if, by talking slower and louder, you and susan might understand something sensible about this game. If someone is so worked up about this game, telling them they shouldn't be, probably won't help. <br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />CearainAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9101917425752696234.post-68879979555089856562012-08-05T18:26:22.956-07:002012-08-05T18:26:22.956-07:00Let's not kid ourselves.

Saying that the Amarr suck, that Fweddit is useless, and that everyone needs to stop crying is some pretty vanilla smack talk as far as EVE or FW is concerned. <br /><br />You can try to pin the shift in culture on Susan, but this is what I wrote about before she even started this latest slew of incendiary posting. The minute everyone started raging at me personally and screaming metagame without even doing their homework into the timeline of the changes and when I was elected to office, the line was crossed from the normal smack talk into something much more personal and destructive. All of you that have picked up a stone and thrown it is responsible for the new tone in the warzone, Susan and her detractors alike.<br /><br />And I refuse to write any of this off as just "the new Faction Warfare culture" either. Look at events like Fan Fest - they are designed to bring people together who fight each other in game (and smack talk each other) to sit down and have a beer. So this is the test for all of you engaging in the ragewars - could you sit down and have a beer with someone like Susan? If not, you've crossed that line into forgetting that this is all just a game, and its time to take a step back and grow up.Hans Jagerblitzenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17465321795500408857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9101917425752696234.post-83218157251713841412012-08-05T07:25:09.399-07:002012-08-05T07:25:09.399-07:00I would point out that just as there are allot of ...I would point out that just as there are allot of different amarr and minmatar and there are allot of different fweddit pilots. <br /><br />Some are more reasonable and mature than others. <br /><br />-CearainAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9101917425752696234.post-54974652336529952802012-08-05T07:23:24.278-07:002012-08-05T07:23:24.278-07:00Good points Jade.

He however has taken some flak for consistantly defending susans blog claiming it involves facts and attacking the amarr responses. I don't think he is anti-amarr but his defense of this troll blog have hurt him. <br /><br />I just hope he continues to post in eve-o so his own views can be heard and discussed from people who do not have access to minmatar teamspeak.

Now with oppressive consequences for losing, obscene rewards for using cheap tactics to win, and an all-around lack of understanding between he sides, this war has been getting a lot less gentlemanly. I think Susan simply put the last nail in the coffin for old FW with her passive-aggressive insults, inadvertently or not.<br /><br />I suppose it is time to light torches and grab pitchforks with everyone else in the 24th. E-honor out the window, mercy an afterthought, and 'playing the game to have fun' down the drain.

It was refreshing and I think we did have some genuinely good fights. But I ended up blocking Fweddit in local because some of their membership were pretty retarded in the smack talk stakes and ended up taking things a bit too personally. <br /><br />As to Susan Black, I find her quite charming in voice and fleet and she seems to be a pretty good fleet mate (+ its always nice to have somebody else made primary before me!) <br /><br />This blog always seemed to me to be mainly IC-ish propaganda and probably demonstrates why actually roleplaying in Eve Online can be a good thing because it helps people to distinguish between in-character hatred and rivalry and out of character fuckery (to a degree). <br /><br />I've always seen Susan as a propagandist and sometimes psy-war voice for the Minmatar side and she really does get the Amarrians a bit riled up. I guess where it gets a bit muddy is in her relationship with Hans who's got a responsibility to represent all the FW constituents who voted for him in the election - hence the propaganda and psywar gets a bit aggravating for the other side when its mingling with issues of strictly out of character space politics. <br /> <br />Any which way getting out of your tree angry and anonymous-posting that people are "cunts" is probably a sign you should logoff the computer today and go have a nice cycle in the park, drink some wine, smoke a blunt, generally chill out with your friends and get a sense of perspective. <br /><br />And bare in mind that if Susan is indeed the kind of outrageous troll who posts these blogs just to drive 24th Crusade and Fweddit into apoplexy of rage and angst then the comments to this blog section will be making her laugh long and heartily. <br /><br />End of the day we're entering a phase in FW where the Amarrian side is getting a pretty huge advantage from nullsec interests and will shortly be in the total ascendance - will be interesting to see how you guys handle being the winners for a change! <br /><br />But OOC-wise - for fucks sake lets all remember we're just gamers at the end of the day.
