Biggest fight in EVE Online's history went down today

[yevea]

that would make sense. PL essentially got dunked, so his superiority complex should be shattered.

PL is generally the ~elite pvp~ group, they see themselves as being better players than pretty much anyone else playing eve. They're also the strongest 4chan based eve alliance, so that explains a lot.

4chan / Kugu pretty much same thing.

PL definitely have a lot of bloated personalities, but they're straight up the funniest mother fuckers in the entire game. I don't know if you've ever flown with PL before but that's some of the most chill and fun fleets I've ever done in EVE. They're just there for the good fights. Besides all that though they have the time played and the assets to back up the fact that they think they're the best. Their AVERAGE pilot SP total is like 74 million SP's. That's across hundreds and hundreds of pilots. 74 Million SP is a large number.

74m average is a bit insane. my aug 2012 character has 36m, and thats the most out of my accounts.

Have never flown with PL, i've been gsf since day 1. PL does do hilarious things from time to time, thats for damn sure. They are fun to fight against even if the only things they undock are caps during this war.

Millburn: I'm legitimately curious, how is n3 leadership spinning yesterday? Has the linemember realized how badly the scales just tipped or are you guys excited for the next escalation? CFC's position is fofofofofofofoffofo for the most part.

mittens just broadcasted: "Somehow I don't think we'll need to worry about a Titan escalation for at least a couple of months."

I'm curious to know how n3 is viewing the events that happened yesterday, and exactly what it means for the long term objective. cfc is full on knifetwisting mode right now, back to back fleets have been broadcasted for pretty much the entire morning.

[Dr. Edge]

"the largest ships in the game and are worth about $3,000 each in real-world money".......... "the game equivalent of about $300,000 in real-world cash"

I'm confused, how does it have real world value, do they mean they could sell it for money to nerd losers on the Internet or something?

[yevea]

You can buy PLEX, which are monthly timecards using in game currency. All PLEX are originally bought using real world money, and can then be applied to a game account or sold. This, in effect, allows you to place value on eve currency since you have a representation of direct item to cash value.

PLEX are currently work around 600-650 million. A PLEX on amazon costs, 19.95. So using that, you can say 'it's worth x amount of USD'. The hull for a titan costs several billion, so you can easily apply "Oh well, if a plex is 600million, and it would cost about 7billion for this titan... it would cost "math" number of PLEX, therefore if someone was (russian) that obsessed with itnernet spaceships, they could buy afford to buy it by spending this much real world money."

That doesn't mean people are buying spaceships, but it is just a way people love reporting about eve because it's such a god damn time sink.

Also here is another cfc update.

"directorbot: We've been asked by CCP to offer an 'official CFC statement' about the B-R5 battle for an upcoming dev blog. Sadly, "get fucked" and ":condi:" were shot down as available options. So, here it is:

"The CFC offers the following as its official statement on the battle of B-R5, posted three weeks ago by Pandemic Legion member Richter Belmont."

"If at any given moment, N3 ping for all hands on dick supercarriers and capital ships, they will get more individual people in fleet than your entire coalition can combined on its very best day.

This isn't conjecture, this is something that has been proven again and again because your leaders like to bury their heads in the sand and ignore the game itself in favor of posting and posturing and writing tl;dr CEO updates about garbage that will never see the light of day (and if it does, the only place it will be is on the killboard of my alliance) instead of realizing that every capital and supercapital pilot with a pulse and a will to use their dread/super/titan/slowcat is gravitating towards one side because hey, guess what, that side actually DOES use their big toys on the regular and when push comes to shove as evidenced by the fight in DY- your alliance is literally impotent.

If a super 'fight' actually happens, it isn't going to be an actual fight, it is going to be a CFC gangrape hosted by Manny, Grath and Vince and you'll have no one to blame but your own leaders and FCs for being yes men faggots instead of growing a pair of balls and equipping some initiative.""

So this quote, would certainly explain the chart posted on the previous page.

Yes folks, this is basically eve in a nutshell. Forum porn and dick measuring.

You can't take your money out of Eve, at least unless there is a black market RMT going on. Its based on the set exchange rate for real money into Eve money and doesn't really mean anything when you think about it.
