didnt u start locking districts?

lol...

ahm, no!?

Go back and re-read what you wrote.

Since I'm feeling like being nice today, I'll help you out, even though English isn't my first language:

YOU stopped attacking because 1 out of 100 matches you'd lose

ergo

YOU stopped attacking because 99 out of 100 matches you'd win

ergo

You're saying they won 99 matches out of 100.

You're welcome btw

I see, that you (Sota) have an issue with logical flow. Fixed my (dustwaffle) post a bit so it helps.

I know, read it somewhere that you were, so I decided to be an arse an start picking apart your mistakes for lulz. That and it's 5pm on a Friday here, with half an hour before work ends and the weekend starts

hey sota, should we assume this is your drunk posting alt?

Well if Long Evity said it it must be true. So tired of ppl posting on their non-corp alts BC they are too ***** to say it on their man.

Yes, so successful in fact that you post on an alt?

EoN. began locking their own districts because they couldn't take the heat. Not much to really comment on other than that.

I'm not a fan of jerking off men nor I am a fan of getting jerked off by men in a big circle. And I am very loosened up.
Maybe you are, but that's your sexual life not mine.

1/10.

Sorry, but TP = EON

Once TP had all their own districts locked up, they had time to ring for the rest of EON. So even though the rest of you guys can argue that TP were the only one's locking their districts, and it didn't effect the rest of the war; it's just not true.

Locking up almost half of your districts also has the effect of doubling your effective power on the districts that were left open.

Furthermore, if the rest of EON was fine with locking up that much of their holdings, why would anyone assume that if FEC made further progress you wouldn't just start locking up more?

Look at it from the perspective of the FEC; Should they simply have just believed "yes, EON has continued to lock more and more districts as FEC has continued to push harder and harder, but that trend won't continue... just cuz?"

If anyone believes that would have been the case, I've got a Jump Gate in Curse I'd like to sell you.

So you're defense is just "plausible deniability?" Come on now, you'll have to do better than that.

EON was locking districts. A LOT of districts, and as the war continued, EON continued to lock more and more districts. That's the reality. You know it, I know it, everyone knows it. You can pretend like that wasn't happening, or that it was magically going to stop happening, but nothing in reality reflects such an assertion.

Separating TP from EON as if TP isn't in EON is a pathetically weak argument. Of course the FEC would assume EON was going to continue the pattern they were adhering to, there was no evidence to suggest otherwise.

I also really enjoyed your "FEC wasn't improving, except in the areas in which FEC was improving" real solid refutation with that one.

Cool, a Non Sequitur.

Good job, I guess?

but weve beat you without arirana multiple times... i mostly blame it on them letting your fat behind in the battles in the first place

If TP didn't represent about 1/3 of EON's total holdings then it would be an over-generalization.

I'm not aware of anyone in FEC having any sort of financial difficulties at all. I can't speak for the other corps directly, but it's not like anyone in FEC was clamoring for an end to the war for financial reasons.

I have no bone in this fight, aside from the fact that PC is a broken piece of **** game mode. I was only involved in one fight in the war, and I was dragged into that fight last minute with little to no interest in it's result. I don't care about the FEC vs EON drama. I don't care who's better. I don't care if Subdreddit "sucks" or the FEC "sucks" or EON "sucks" or whatever other nonsense.

I personally suck. I don't care. The game isn't really good enough yet to worry about how good anyone is at playing it.

Anyway... my position did, however, give me a direct line to a lot of the politicking and decision making processes that occurred within the FEC. People want to know the aftermath? They want to know FEC's internal reasoning for quitting? I'm trying to help give it. I'm not FEC. My corp was, but I'm not. I don't give a **** about FEC. I never really gave a **** about FEC besides a mild interest in the experiment of it.

The reality is that the leadership of the FEC pretty clearly believed that EON was locking up more districts as the FEC grew and improved. The reality is that FEC was improving. Their communication was improving, their team play was improving, their planning was improving. It looked like slow going, but it was going none-the-less. There was forward momentum and progress that looked like it was not going to stop... until districts started locking. When people started taking a closer look at the math of district locking, when it became clear that:

A. Districts can be locked indefinitely and still make a profit
B. EON was in clear endorsement of their corporations locking massive amounts of districts (don't hit me with more plausible deniability again, that argument is clearly nonsense)
C. More districts were being locked each day.

This is when morale plummeted, as everyone realized that there was no functional way to win the war. Regardless of their efforts, it was clear that EON was both capable and willing to lock any districts they wanted indefinitely, and continue to make ISK in the process.

Remember, most of these people initially had little to no interest whatsoever in PC. It was a completely dead game mode in the time leading up to the war (less than 1% of the total population was participating in it... which is the case again now that the "war" is over). Over the course of a few days the math of the exploit spread like wildfire through the in-game and IRC channels for the war.

Was this the only reason why the war ended? No, I'm sure it isn't. There are always other circumstances involved with this sort of thing. Is EON better at PC than most of the corps that were in the FEC? Yeah, absolutely. That doesn't mean there wasn't improvement happening. Most of the people in FEC hadn't played more than a match or two of PC, ever. You really don't think that playing the "vets" of the game mode (ie: EON) isn't going to lead to rather rapid improvement? Come on now.

Drop the silly politics and face saving nonsense for just a few minutes. FFS.

im not speaking for anyone except DJINN Rampage.

the real question is why are you speaking for teamplayers when your just a scrub they let in for the lulz

but weve beat you without arirana multiple times... i mostly blame it on them letting your fat behind in the battles in the first place

nope i just did my job dropped a few uplinks blew a few R.Es and collected my reward at the end of the game.

lol im glad to know that if im such a scrub i can still whoop your ass 9 times out of 10

need a new outlet? psh, i've been having fun all week kicking EoN's ass and destroying Mavado's tanks going #1 in the process (Uplink Spam FTW) of course, all those achievements are outshined when kalante goes #2 dropping 30/1 games all day -.-

And you are in a corporation that represents teamplay and you are clearly not a teamplayer. Your point is?

I can use my alts aswell to like my own posts but I don't. Run along now, you're completely useless in this thread at the moment.

Troll myself into popularity? This guy thinks he's still in highschool. ******* nonfactors.

Nobody qq'ed over EoN exploiting mechanics and destroying the whole purpose of PC.

On the other hand, there were hundreds of post of you and others crying like little babies and begging CCP to ban Ari. LOL.
And still: Just because you let someone run up to you and melee you in a freaking FPS, where the S stands for SHOOTER.

Edit: And of course, despite being able to lock everything up, Poor Innocence managed to lose everything. I mean, come on, if u lose everything with locking, how bad will it be when locking gets fixed?
