Unless you live under a rock, you noticed a huge war against the Imperium. At this moment (3/28, 18:00 EVE time), there are 98 timers in Imperium space:Considering how big part of the Imperium is Goonswarm and how easy to reach Pure Blind from NPC stations inside and neighboring lowsec, it's surprising at best that Goons aren't attacked.I believe it's not by mistake, but part of the plan of PL to getresource of post-Citadel EVE: New Jita. You see, every time a major resource was identified, PL made a cartel with Goons to avoid loss of valuable income. When Moons were a thing, they had OTEC. When renters made the money, they had BoTLord.. What you need to understand is that New Jita is as top-down as possible, the line member will not see anything of it, unless the leaders find them worthy of rewarding. The line Goon has no reason to care who will use the 20T/month for "purposes", unless someone makes him mad enough to care.Currently the Goons are pretty chill Vale lost, Fade deserted, Tenal on fire? Not their problem. When The Mittani said that grinding these regions down will bore the enemy to death, you laughed on him, while the joke is on you. Without a game changer, in less than a month, he'll be right. Of course not because of boredom, but because the deal was probably already made between him and Grath. It's not a happy deal he made, but one he is forced to accept: give up on some of his minions, give up on his hopes about New Jita and in turn PL guarantees the continued survival of his eyeball empire and even toss him some ISK from New Jita. Soon PL/PH/Waffles will "get bored" and then Goons can boldly use supers to stop losing timers.Why PL made the deal instead of finishing Goons once and for all? Because no one can finish an EVE alliance unless their leaders give up. You can take their moons, their sov, their stations, you can make the opportunistic members (60-80%) leave, but as long as the leaders stay, there will be enough core members who stay because of loyalty, friends or simply content. Remember TEST! Broken and evicted, but as leaders stayed, they came back and now boldly spam memes against Goons while pooping on their LAWN. The very last thing PL wants is the Imperium broken and evicted and The Mittani down to about 2000 core members who has nowhere to rat and nothing but wish for revenge. Because it's very easy for them to get it. Deploy to Perimiter and attack the trading citadel of PL. Even if they can never take it, it's sure that no highsec customer goes anywhere near it while hundreds of Goons are ganking on the undock. In highsec the name "Goon" can still strike fear and I'm sure Goons have enough ISK left to reimburse T1 catalysts for a decade to upkeep this fear.What makes it sure that The Mittani and his core leadership won't quit after defeated? Because it's not a game for them, but their income source. They must post and stream or they won't pay mortgage. So it's much better for PL if they are ratting in Deklein, PB and Branch-or-Fade than going to highsec. For The Mittani it's much better if he has 20K ad-clicker serfs ratting in his remaining 3 regions than having 2K diehard Goons ruining Grath's 20T/month. So it's win-win to just make a deal.Evict Goons, AFK cloak Goon, kill Goons. There will be no next phase, no pressing of the attack. After PL weakened the Imperium enough to surrender all its claims for mere survival, they'll leave or even start shooting the Good Guys (not to help Goons of course, just "for good fights"). Hit Goons right now, or there will be no victory over them! And no matter what, never, ever trust PL! Remember:More updates: Bovril, the largest (though hilariously bad) corp of RAZOR left the Imperium for OSS Hole Violence corp (living in WH) is quiting Goons . They have no idea how smart choice was that:Finally, check out this wonderful piece of propaganda
