We are intending to hold as long as we can - i doubt we can hold all of it forever. Certainly not against Fweddit's blob. <br /><br />The problem I have with the current mechanism is we risk it going to a welp-sov war, where everyone just attacks and never defends. <br /><br />The other problem, frankly, is Egghelende is the unsinkable aircraft carrier of the warzone, without which the Amarr would have a vastly different strategic position. The closest Minmatar gets is the highsec island out from Hagilur. Such systems skew the winnability of the warzone because you can't take them.<br /><br />I think it's a better system than it was before, and it IS good too see Amarr resurgent, but the momentum won't break very quickly because when the Minmatar corps lose their home systems, they have to go to highsec, not Egg. Lose it all, and your carriers have to go further afield.

It will burn your side out eventually.<br /><br />What happens then? The other side takes a turn.<br /><br />If you look at it from afar, it seems like CCP is basically making the rules affect the desired outcome - a constant back-and-forth of winning and losing the war, so everyone gets a chance at the prize money.<br /><br />I wish you guys weren't leaving, you gave us good fights, and were a lot of fun. <br /><br />o7, my enemy.space chikunhttp://fweddit.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-691677638751444960.post-44508653816954073392013-01-20T15:52:52.576-08:002013-01-20T15:52:52.576-08:00I think that Essin will be fine. We will probably ...I think that Essin will be fine. We will probably lose Ardar due to the Dust modifier, but that won't last. The siseide-eszur gate has brought Devoid and Metro closer geogrphically...but yu're right. IFW and FeO and LNA seem content to sit in kourm-huola and complain about Fweddit's daily blob and threaten to leave FW whenever huola gets wound up and don't contribute too much to pushing Amarr space or defending metro.<br /><br />Aside from petulant threats about leaving FW, this is understandable. Defending constellations takes way too much effort, so you have to stick to your own. Pushing space takes effort, but is more rewarding, but you want to do it closer to home. The problem is that the warzone is shrinking fast for Minmatarr, so everywhere is the front line now.<br /><br />The miners in Sirekur will be finding this out tonight, i think.

The problem is that it isn't anymore, but the TLF old guard hasn't picked up on this yet (besides which, they've gone kind of stagnant from what I can tell).<br /><br />I expect Essin will be a rougher show for the Amarr than Eugidi, since Essin is more populated and more defensible. I don't know if the guys presently in Metro have the willpower or numbers to actually counterpush Eugidi again, or if that is even a good idea.Milton Middlesonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13114414052571878941noreply@blogger.com
