I find this very interesting as an outside observer. On the one hand, ROGUE is fighting with the CFC in Fountain, and they are blue to Razor as well. On the other hand, handing sov to NC. seems like sleeping with the enemy. It’s possible that some isk changed hands, but I’m intrigued by another possibility.
In this article, it’s suggested that ROGUE is interested in full CFC membership. Despite reports, the CFC treats all member alliances well. The component alliances are treated well and all share in the spoils of any conflicts. It wouldn’t do for any alliance to be relegated to Cobalt Edge for very long. When I’ve flown with ROGUE, they’ve seemed pretty competent. I think they’d make fine allies to anyone who wants them. And after this war in Fountain, it’s very likely that the CFC will end up with a lot of prime real estate. Too much, I suspect, for the current alliances to handle.
You see where I’m going with this?
An inventive mind can conjure
up all sorts of scenarios. Goons moving
into Fountain (and the front lines, likely) and handing Deklein to Fweddit and
ROGUE, perhaps? Pushing further into
Delve, maybe, and handing over further spoils?
One thing is certain. The
Fountain War is likely to be nly the opening campaign in a much larger
effort. I don’t see the CFC forgiving or
forgetting those who have helped Test – even though their best move was to help
Test.
As a Razor pilot, I’m doubly
interested in what happens in Cobalt Edge and Oasa (note: I’m not on the troika
or a director, so I have exactly zero inside knowledge into the political
decisions Razor makes). I’ve long
bemoaned the lack of juicy targets in close proximity to our stomping
grounds. I longed for the Fountain War
to last all summer so I could milk it for kills, but I’d be just as happy
deploying anywhere that has targets.
I think we’re starting to see
some of the next dominos to fall. This
should be a great summer for PvP, and I highly encourage anyone interested in
it to join a bloc – any bloc! – now.
