The Fate and Future of Providence

Manfred heres a suggestion:

1. Create "John Hammond" alliance
2. Take KBP and call the station "Welcome to Jurassic Park"
3. Take a second station in the middle of provi within bridge range of kbp. Link it to kbp via bridge with public password.
4. Charge people to be set blue to JH alliance hence being able to use the bridge to the middle of provi.
5. Charge people to dock in the two stations. Put souvenirs for sale.
6. ?
7. Das Profit

That would be awesome, but you'd need more than 1 bridge otherwise it would be camped on both sides by both entity's bombers and just turn into a bombfest. Which would be cool for a week or 2, but meh.

But if you had the entire region controlled by an alt alliance, charged a small docking fee to pay for the fuel, it would basically be npc 0.0 but with public bridges. And you could control who got to base out of it, so you wouldn't have any mega alliances moving in with a 200 man BS gang and ruining it. It would just be a few factions basing out of a few stations at a time, but with the 40 stations that provi has, there's no way anyone could control all of them. Maybe you would give 2 stations in remote corners to each party though, so they could print isk. No point in creating a massive isk sink region, need to let everyone make isk enough to keep it going.

I wasn't asking for staged battles or anything, but rather that -A-, U'K etc grant CVA a right to live in about half of Provi and U'K holds onto the other half. And from that we shall see what happens. If there was a mutual agreement not to destroy the others, all would be set.

Obviously you guys put personal 15 minutes of fame of destroying the other above the good of many. Just shows how big your egos are. And we all know what happens with alliances with egos bigger than their cap fleets.

What do you mean see what happens? Nothing meaningful *can* happen in that scenario. It's just RvB with bubbles and caps... is there really that much demand for capital warfare and warp bubbles in RvB?

I for one, endorse the idea that once CVA gets kicked out of providence, they join amarr FW.

Would work well for their lolrp fags.

What I hope, from a grunts view, is that AAA+UK decimates Providence, making the Proviblob significantly smaller than it currently is, and then AAA leaves Providence to its fate.

Everyone would be able to go there, could sort out their own standings, with U'K and CVA being obvious enemies there.

Ofcourse, knowing the nature of alliances, this will be impossible, as you could end up having large alliances like Goonswarm moving right next door to -A-, taking over Providence entirely.

However, a smaller CVA aligned coalition would be wonderful for U'K, in my view.

That is an effective strategic analysis, Ituralde, but it really doesn't address my confusion at all. Okay, we're dumb. That is cause for anger and bitterness towards us? I figure laughter would be more appropriate. Laughter and fingerpointing I would understand, and there's plenty of that as well, but that's not what I'm talking about. The bitterness directed towards us by some of our enemies for losing is what is so curious to me.

Honestly, most of it is a "get over yourselves" aimed at your martyr complex. Many I think are offended at the concept of any defense for such incalculable stupidity.

A big part is "WAH MY BEAT TOY GOT BROKEN" as well.

And honestly, while a lot of people like shooting at you, CVA honestly has won the hearts and minds of EVE and everyone liked to see them do pretty well. I think a lot of people are let down by the fact that misplaced pride and strategic idiocy is killing one of their favorite alliances.

People like their Cinderella stories, and among the rest of EVE, CVA's foot fit the shoe perfectly. People also like things on the rise, and CVA was very much on the rise. That's why people are surprisingly sympathetic to IT's rise despite the fact that it's Bob all over again. Despite being one of the oldest alliances in EVE, CVA is still seen largely as the reclusive straight-A cute younger brother in EVE politics that everyone thought was going places.

And finally, it's a bit like watching a complete slaughter of an enemy. At the first bit, you cheer at a hated enemy being cut to bits at the height of their pride, the message of total defeat being pounded down their throats. But ultimately, as it continues, it gets sickening to watch the massacre of something that in hindsight, did have an element of beauty to it. Now, the killing merely turns stomachs and lacks the image of glorious retribution it once had. People see less their enemy being put in their place, and now merely look on to watch every last shred of glory of something that was once great burned into cinders under the watchful eyes of a regretful executioner that simply sees no other way.

Ok, so it's maybe not really that dramatic, but I had fun writing that Wink
