In response to the ...Now, now, let's be civil.<br /><br />In response to the point raised, you're right... no war is won with propaganda alone. But, M-O, the dunking of CFC arriers in Deklein (previously unthinkable), forcing a CO2 fleet (CFC at the time) to self-destruct, compelling the CFC to give up Pure Blind as untenable and losing a highly competent ally and a parts of two regions in one fell swoop, repeated fleet losses... it's hard to argue that the CFC has taken bloody noses.<br /><br />And that's all on top of many of the highest-profile, most-competent, FCs not only leaving the coalition, but actively working against them, and the defection of highly competent small-gang (ie. skilled) corporations who are able to inflict and are inflicting damage on the CFC... it's hard to argue anything of the kind that the CFC is in good shape right now.<br /><br />On every front, the CFC is getting its teeth kicked in. And there are at least three solid fronts (PB/Tribute, Fade, Tenal).<br /><br />Plus, the strategy being employed is brilliant - attack the allies who have been weakened by repeated poachings over the years, and leave GSF largely untouched to sow dissent (Why are you letting MY alliance's space be attacked) and give the appearance of truth to the "meatshield" theory.<br /><br />What can they put up against it? A successful DBRB bombing run?<br /><br />On that account, the attack on VFK is a brilliant move. It's the capital that most of the "real goons" think of when they think of Goonswarm, and it's likely that the resistence will be stiffest there than anywhere. If unsubbed Goons are going to come back, they're going to do it to protect VFK. If the allies win, it might very well break the CFC simply because there would be no further "rally flag" to draw back those lasped members.<br /><br />But if GSF wins, it might energize their veterans to participate in a spirited defense.Talvorian Dexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01349917611382684205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4159840807393856856.post-6939028140837230162016-04-01T08:12:47.558-04:002016-04-01T08:12:47.558-04:00WEW LADWEW LADAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12846169316413251438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4159840807393856856.post-30459418132912946442016-04-01T03:27:55.260-04:002016-04-01T03:27:55.260-04:00It's funny you say that there needs to be a ke...It's funny you say that there needs to be a kernel of truth then run off an say that goons have lost every major battle. As of yet there have hardly been any major battle because when the good guys try to set one up they fail. Tomorrow may mark another one with VFK if they bother to actually show up, which they probably won't. If only the were as good at flying their ships as they are at posting memes on reddit. With their numbers they should have steamrolled Dek by now, yet they've managed to set up timers in one system and that was done by an ex-CFC alliance. I'd like to think that they have what it takes to end the CFC I just don't think they do based on their lack of success. All bark no bite, that's the problem with trying to win a war with propaganda.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
