Hmm strange I see no mention of CAP or KEQ in any of these posts. ..was it because they only began to shine when everyone else had already left? Yes...you had your time. We all did.
Havnt played a game of Dust in 6 months. Yet I still get brought up Daily. I'll consider that a win. You all know as much **** as I talk...I can back it up!
Truly miss this game on a serious note. Not the actual playing of this game...but the politics and Meta.
Ouch, that would sting...except you just insulted yourself.
Considering I was born in Uprising, no prior affiliation with eve, building a team from scratch of post-Uprising players...I'm more than satisfied with the outcome. My relevancy or legacy isn't reflected by/in you, nor do I require the affirmation. Rather, my joy derives from the stories my guys and I trade among ourselves. Haven't taken the time to read this thread at all, so I wouldn't know any better anyway.
Adaptation illustrates who is best at this game, and their length of prevalency....with a pinch of luck. Darwin514.
Btw, miss you too sweetheart. Our conflict and subsequent wars compile some of my fondest memories. <3 |

Cap was always like...the best of the lower tier teams until red wedding.
Cap has been arguably a top 5 team since January 2014...but there's never been a point I'm aware of where people have thought of Cap as the number one team in the game..maybe while FA was rebuilding after everyone left the game round 2 after rouge wedding? But even when I got back from Destiny Shep was the one who told me that Cap tried to attack FA and were repelled...during the time that we were on destiny and ergo weaker.
I still think highly of Cap, but that's sorta why they aren't often mentioned in these conversations IMO. They were a great team that occupied the top in the absence of the teams that previously surpassed them..It would have been fantastic for their rep for Cap to have dominated OH. Or if Cap kicked AE now out of PC...that would be impressive.
Pretty much this. Yet, I take pride in this. For the most part, we always used our own guys. I remember asking Cubs to not ring for our opponents, because we were beating them consistently and wanted fair fights (VC/Px1/WR/TTD/others) - his response was he wouldn't take payment to not fight (no quarrels there). It was never about the isk to me...it was about climbing the ladder. Field my guys, you field yours, let's see what we got. I believe everyone here who has been my opponent at one time or another can absolutely confirm this.
We never dominated OH. As much blood as we shed against each other, it inadvertently formed a bond between us that lasts even to this day (minus radar, have literally never talked to him). This desire to fight overwhelming odds earned the respect of teams like OH/AE/NS. We never really fought FA before Tso's because yes, AE and ERA wanted the fight. FA has always had the clear advantage in terms of lineup compared to us, this I can't deny. CAP has NEVER had all star players...ever [go ahead, try and name some]. We won by team cohesion alone, role comprehension and execution - I wouldn't trade this for any all star. When you get smashed together, yet stay as one, the grit that forms simply can't be overcome. Cinderellas.
Never locked to stay in MH, never rang out entire teams to earn wins. My self-righteous preachy attitude never really belonged in this cut throat atmosphere, I realize that wholeheartedly. But I never sacrificed that philosophy to achieve victory.
Kick AE out of PC? Ha...I'm just an old clone now. My fire has been nearly extinguished. Senior year takes up way too much time to no life anyway. If only I could write my thesis with as much fervor as the words printed here. |

Or are you referring to when a certain someone launched attacks they weren't supposed to so ERA decided to drop all their districts and no show?
Ah I would have to disagree. You see, there are two ERA's.
One is Kane's batphone, where 12/16 on barge aren't sporting ERA tags but instead the amalgamation of 2 years worth of connections to top ranked no-loyalty mercs.
The second is the actual team ERA.
The first, well...needless to write out the lineup, quite difficult to defeat.
The second, a challenge certainly - but not intimidating. Plenty of wins against them. They were already on their way out before Espeon sent all those attacks, subsequently fracturing the corp. The four powers at this time were OH, CAP, ERA, FA (activity permitting).
Albeit I see people like ydubbs here saying everything after X time is meaningless....eyes of the beholder. As long as one carries the flag, does its colors mean nothing to those who march behind it?
:(
