A few hours ago Blaster Worm, leader of Gypsy Band alliance declared open war on their former allies Solar Fleet. Here is an exclusive translation of the announcement:

Gypsy Band Declares war on Solar Fleet and allies – Red Alliance tagging along.

I’d like to announce Gypsy Band’s invasion into SOLAR FLEET’s space. Target regions for this campaign are Insmother and Scalding Pass.

Red Alliance is also taking part in this campaign. They accepted offer from Gypsy Band for returning them space they held before. There are many other small entities that are joining us in this campaign as well.

To arms gentlemen!

Now a bit of explanation:

1. By joining war on SF side against X.I.X. Gypsy Band had a goal of dismantling DRF. Removing from EVE map an alliance that was drowning in RMT and exploiting. Limiting GSF and TEST influence on “Russian” east. All goals were achieved.

During this conflict Gypsy Band set SF positive standings for the first time in it’s existence. Until that time SOLAR FLEET was always sort of main sparring partner for Gypsy Band/Rebellion Alliance. Keeping these standings positive does not correspond with alliance values – “No NAP” and “Having targets within titan bridge range”. So after fulfilling all our objectives in past campaigns we think that respecting interest of our members in priority for us.

2. By keeping NIP with SOLAR we were trying to keep AAA sides clear from conflicts while they were fighting GSF/TEST expansion. But we think that SF is playing double standards game. CFC supporting SOLAR FLEET in war for Geminate against NC. SOLAR FLEET never expressed or confirmed their relationships with CFC. This make us think that SF is not reliable partner in war against Goons.

Different view on this subject among SF and GB leadership caused tension of relationships while ago. That was the reason we relocate back to Curse region. These tensions were mitigated by our diplos, but without removing main reason of this – vision of current political conditions. We have to admit that peaceful methods of solving issues didn’t fit Gypsy Band and it’s pilots.

3. After war against DRF every major entity in that coalition lost it’s space apart from SOLAR FLEET. They left DRF right in the end of it’s expansion. All claims in botting, RMTing etc. can be related to every entity that was part of DRF. SOLAR FLEET is not an exception. This point was not expressed by us due to our participation in war against X.I.X. on SOLAR FLEET side. We were criticized many times by other independent entities for that. By starting this war we once again want to state inflexibility of our intentions in war against unfair play in eve (RMT, Botting, exploiting) and show every similar entity how it all ends.

We also think that this “Burden” is not permanent. It can be removed in case of good will and understanding from player base. All above mentioned forced us to form a temporary coalition with renewed Red Alliance. We are ready to help Red Alliance take back space they possessed before.

So invading coalition consists from:

1. Gypsy Band they their allies: INK, WhySo, DarkSpawn.
2. Red Alliance and their allies.
3. Gorgon Empire

We will inform everyone in case if other entities will join the fight.

This coalition repeating contours of Curse Coalition from last year has a target to reform Eastern part of EVE. Creating interesting conflict for all participating parties. It will be disbanded after achieving main objective – Control of Insmother and Scalding Pass.

    My personal assessment of CURRENT (Sept/Oct 2012) powerblock strength in EVE.

    (1) HBC [If HBC vs. Dotbros, HBC would likely win because of PL]
    (2) DotBros [Solid active & efficient conventional fleet led by competent FCs, high K:D ratio in recent battles]
    (3) Solar [Been seeing increase in conventional fleet efficiency vs. DotBros. Recently achieved series of tactical victories against Dotbros in even # battles]

    -Gap-

    (4) SoCo [Activity & Morale seems to gotten hit due to recent HBC advances, Stalemate in Catch front, Losses on Paragon Soul front]
    (5) CFC [Recent stalemate and severe losses have taken a toll at its fleet activity & morale. Without an elite PVP alliance like PL assisting/leading them, they'll likely have hard time in coming battle against DotBros]

    So, as of now, the weakest link seems to be CFC, not SOLAR.

    I don't quiet understand why Gypsy & Co. targeted southern SOLAR regions instead of places like Deklein if they wanted to severely weaken the already weak CFC.

    • Perkele

      Remember that SOLAR made a previous announcement that they will stop at GEMINATE, Period.

      The current situation in geminate…
      14 SOLAR bloc stations vs. 1 DotBros station

      Meaning SOLAR almost has what it wants.

      Now, if Gypsy & Dotbros team-up to present a severe threat to Solar Bloc, what's to say that Solar will not continue their invasion to Vale and eventually towards eastern Tribute?

      Time will tell if Gypsy made the right move or not =P

      • anonymous

        You assume Solar has a chance of winning a sov war vs Dotbros. They fought just Evoke/Nc. last time and they lost. That doesn't even mention the fact that they had Gypsy on their side which did the most damage to our fleets.

  • goebbels was better

    Any diversion of solar assets from the Vale area will allow NCDot to fight offensively, instead of the almost purely defensive strategy we've been employing against "the BLOB".
    This is significant as the goons and pets rarely even undock in the AUTZ now, having had their heads handed to them so many times, that now they wont even form up to fight.
    To be honest, whilst saving 12)?) systems yesterday, the dot bros fleets nearly died of boredom, sitting around on titans waiting for a fight that just isn't happening anymore – where are all the goons gone???

  • BntyHunter

    Lol we trying to fight em now…….They had 2x as many players over 200 of the and they talked shit for 15 minutes we had 78 guys and they left…..GSF why are you pussies please please fight us

    • Guy

      You guys were only able to field 80 ships?

      • hmm

        it seems it was more than enough !

  • INK Pilot

    MACTEP go fuck youreself were comming for youre womans!! ;)

    Oh….. IMP-L dont worrie about youre assets we'll buy them off you for a nice price ;)

    • M888

      A common peasant talking down to the infamous MACTEP. Now I've seen everything.

    • overconfident

      WTS Chimera and Archon. Does the fair price of 2 iskies please my INK overlords?

  • RA- FC

    Silent Dodger is back! you are correct. The mindset of RA is nowhere near what it used to be. RA will come back stronger than it ever was, By incorporating USTZ Based english speaking corps along with solid translators for joint fleets will keep the "Gears of war" are turning in a new direction. Adopting a multiple TZ approach such as DOTbros AUTZ platform will turn out to be a thorn in any alliances side. This as been in the makeing since RED.Legion and it has been refined. RA has expanded its member based 400+ members in the last 3 months. As a USTZ english speaking member i have seen positive progression, delve/querious gig was a hiccup. Expect results from this veteran alliance in the future you can count on that. One more thing, DOTbros keep up the good work ;)

    -RA- FC

    • old timer

      well i was in a drf alliance, and red legion wasnt doing anything but carebearing.

    • old timer

      and also , isnt silent dodger the guy who did rmt RA's wallet to buy himself a car , help his mother , and few other things ?

      what a neat anti bot/rmt coalition we got here !

    • VirtualSex

      Just dont be so stupid like last: We want whole Delve! Nulli Gfto…

      Otherwise I am pretty sure that they will kick ur ass again

    • Washi Meisei

      As an INK pilot. I look forward to flying with RA. And I think Imp-L got the message when their little home system was put into reinforce.
      Mactep, your dictatorship style of leading your alliance and your pets is bringing it to ruins. Only if you learned to treat others with at least some respect eh.
      As for your little threat…… Mactep its time for you to FUCK OFF!!!! So what Cascade fell, many went to either -A- or NC. I wish them luck. As for Cascade space…… We didn't need YOUR permission or -A-'s to take it you idiot. IF you let things be, it could have been more of a reinforcement of the south for ya……
      Solar now is in more trouble then they thought. With NC. Nulli, Evoke, Ewoks and others kicking Solar in the east. There will now be Gypsy, INK, Whyso, RA, Gorgon Empire, Darkspawn kicking in Solar from the south.

      So Mactep…… looks like your little empire is about to fall eh. Get your evac plans ready.

  • Not Buying It

    Lol, that's adorable. Solar and goons allied? You idiots, they have an agreement not to shoot each other until they finish with their respective goals. They have an agreement not to go after each other -yet-, seeing as if one Alliance gets to much space CCP will disband them and reset all of null using Jove npcs. Use your damn brains, igits. Gypsy Band is just butthurt because they tried to ask Solar for Scalding Pass and Solar told them that Scalding Pass was already IMP-L's. That's why they're hitting Scalding Pass and not Solar directly, it's because they're butthurt self righteous idiots that want to parade their war as some religious pull the wool over your eyes good against all evil crusade.

    And it's utterly adorable. Guess what Gypsy and Pets, no one's buying it but goon pets.

    • old timer

      i have to say , that willing to punish solar for bot & rmt , and give space to RA , is something hillarious !

    • Washi Meisei

      Not Buying it……. WTF have you been smoking??? Gypsy doesn't care about scalding pass, besides half of it is in INK hands. Soon Imp-L will have no space. As well as solar…. and yes solar's systems are being hit at well.

    • who cares

      We shoot goons everyday. Unless you mean serious engagements.

  • BntyHunter

    Lol goons we killed SMA guy with our spais, we bumbped him out of shields…LOL

  • BntyHunter

    The law of the jungle says after SOV is lost on these huge ALliances, the PVPers either upgrade PVP like Raiden did from IT, or like the other 80% they stick around to the bitter end, so yea Red maybe 1500 Guys but the Bears are gonn and 1500 Dudes who half are in Ruski TZ is a major blow esp if they are like NCDOT where they log in 1.8th there guys……

    Last few days us 5k guys in DOTBROS have posted 225 man gangs everyday, for god sakes that is an off time zone, 225 members out of 5k = 23%……Now take CFC 35k bringing 300 today and not fighting 300/35k =.008% wow astonashing numbers and you guys had about 1/3rd more and stood own…..Telling us its your tactic to blue ball us to go away….DOnt let master here that,, you will be hung for treason.

    Its looking more like persian [slae army] 300[free army] every day.

    Also Macteps 18-20k has been having 400k sleets at least he does better. at .02%

    Lol we have 23%, CFC has avg 300 man fleet as .008% and SOlar at .02%

    Lol
    Yep you sure are killing our morale. And we sure are so sad you took our SOVS we are melting, but wait we kil SC`s abd whole fleets….I say we found an equal trade……God helps you once missiles get nerfed for you, losing Rohks at this rate could hurt anyones piggy bank…Mactep and Mittens may need real jobs :)

    I hope gypsy and red becme our blackops bombers….We love you Gypsy…ALso Brick WTF you doing you were respectable, and if you came to our side what could Solar really do, they have never once been able to beat you in BND/BWF without massive help.

    I hope we burn Gem keep its Tec and give Gypsy/RA SERIUS there entire land and screw solar and Xdeath….LOL

    • Guy

      Wait, why would brick of all people help you out? You dropped on them constantly for six months for no obvious reason.

  • BntyHunter

  • BntyHunter

    http://northern-coalition.co.uk/?a=kill_detail&am… porrr batard we psudhed out I couldnt lock hm before 200 HellCats got him

  • Whatever

    Why the hell would solar ever help NC. The people that not long ago was payed by xxdeath (basicly goons) to kick them out of nullsec while their so called bro's raiden died to their now enemy. The people that then propped up a fail coalition against them. The people who then refused to go help against cfc in delve, they where more likely to go help their old honey friends.
    I would certainly go help them!!! P.S raiden used to be proud of their fleet percentages

  • BntyHunter

    450+ kills in 1V-LI2

    I love death in this game

  • BntyHunter

    I am a proud DOTTER and when Gypsy left Solar they showed eve and even us so called "Tough Guys" that they wernt just not pets but they were just as pricipled andwilling to save Eve from the blue moneters that we are.

    So now we had Mittens teaming with Mactep, even thought Mittens gave sanctuary to Xdeath who betrayed Solar, Macteps Allies AAA also are in a war partially apd for in begining at least by GSF loans……Basically GSF and Solar or Mittens and MACTEP are showing everyone even montoio etc that they are the 2 guys to deal with in Eve…..Us Bros and the Red Gyps`ys are saying no to that.

    Say what you want about Red, botting ETC but hey at least they liked a good fight.

    Now ROL is cutoff and alone from AAA Abandoning them……Hopefully they look est word as well.

    My Dream Eve would be NCDOT owning Dek`s Moons, BL owning Vales, NS owning tribute…Gypsy/RA owning RZR`s space and some of drones. Brick coming around and realizing they on wrong side and keeping alot of Gem. ROL moving north and taking PB/CR and other Tec Areas.

    Basically anyone who comes to help us rid Solar and GSF now will get there own slice…..Not controlled by us and not blue just an agreement for good fights and no Tec Cartel, we would use Mrket PVP just as real as PVP.

    I say everyone in Eve who ever wanted a piece of there own land come and help us even out our 5k vs 35k of GSF and 20k of Solar. Xdeath wake up, RZR please stop being pets we like you, help us and become in charge again like you were…..Guys like Rooks and kings, DND,Mildy Intox, Bombers bar and all great lowsec`ers come and grab Sov with us and rent it to indy corps to run it all and you just rake in isk……The NORTH IS HUGE and we can replace these 35+20k frones with 20k hardened badasses who still fight in other places and eachother but come together when defensing…..Like the Northern Coalition except we will shoot ships on sight :) , if that is how numbers were then I wouldnt mind em, but Blueing everything sharing ratting systems etc is sick……Play Carebear`s unite online.

    VIVA LA DOT
    VIVA LA RED GYPSY`s
    VIVA LA EX-CASCASDE [hope half you join NCDOT/Other joins NS]

    VIVA INDY COALITIONS….No RUles no masters no state of unions just guys with like mindsets who love to pew.

    • Whatever

      So you where payed by xxdeathxx (even though they where clearly part of goons along ago ) to kick solars ass and them not joining you against goons is their problem not yours. Lol

  • NCdot supporter

    Much appreciated, but can I join the fight without joining any corps? I love the NPC corp too much and you know that once you leave it there's no going back.

  • NCdot supporter

    Oh and on another note, if you are really an -A- FC, you and NC need to forget all the bad blood from the past and form a big ass, goon-kicking alliance. Seriously, I cannot be the only one to think about this. I can imagine fagtanni and fagtolio's faces if it happens. Sweet goon tears of desperation.

  • Poastin Toaster

    dont waste your time with Against All Allies. They will just let you rot in a station and let you spin your ship.

  • lol triple dead

    -a- is dead. didnt see the new botting thing.

  • John Douche

    Why go back? You do not want to go back once you tasted it.

    And fyi, you can always go back to NPC corps. Just leave a player corp and you end in an NPC corp.

  • Bittervet

    OK, I assume you've got isk.

    First, buy a combat alt. Then your main stays safe and anonymous in the NPC corp.

    Second, open contact. I'd suggest finding a corp in IRC to chat to.

    Third, using your combat alt and mercs as appropriate, start shooting Goons. I'd particularly recommend things like jump freighters going to or from Goonspace.

    Fourth, regularily inform your contact what you've been doing. Nothing personal, but they think you're a spai, and thats just how it is. But if you've got a consistent stream of high value kills and actionable intel, then you can start working your way up.

  • John Douche's Alt

    No you can't. Don't lie to the carebear. You will end up in A corp, but not THE corp you started in.

  • Poastin Toaster

    Against All Allies wont do shit. You really should stop chest beating about how against all allies are doing stuff. last time everyone checked you ran back to your space and docked up. Let 3 regions get steamrolled then just recently let Fail fail.

  • Poastin Toaster

    cant wait until against all allies finally does something besides let allies die, spin ships and talk a bunch of shit about "fighting the good fight".

  • (.)

    Can u link the BR when Solar "tterly wiped the floor with dot bros"…lol..please, link the BR, i dare you

  • John Douche

    Does it make a difference? And can you not take your friends with you?

  • Sameyaa

    lol great idea. So -a- teams up with dot bros and what happens next? Are TEST going to sit in the south holding their balls? No the entire SOCO will come north and rape everything along with goons..

  • anti goon federation

    NC + -A- are basically 10 times stronger in any aspect of the game than GSF + TEST + pets of both. And that's not counting NC and -A-'s allies. Actually, GSF and TEST might be better at blobbing, but thatis it.

  • BntyHunter

    Actualy it would be great…..Let AAA Sov get taken by TEST and HBC like its going to when they fallback from stain anyways….But instead of going to sleep fore 3 months coe north fight GSF kill them off with us and maybe carve out new lands, then when we took care of that threat because together we wold have numbers, NCDOT could come back and help fight for more space but TBH instead of AAA staying in Catch beat GSF with NCDOT and take PureBlind1/2 Dek and make 10x what you make of 10 moons alone. AND RENT SPACE

  • MasterDebater

    lose 3 regions, take 7, split them between pets – repeat

  • Really

    Hence -A- getting curb stomped in a matter of weeks.

    NCdot are putting up a good fight and it's one everyone on both sides has been enjoying but no sane man would bet on dotbros against the CFC. NCdot are down 40 tech moons and half a region. They may win fights, they may even win the majority of fights, but they are not winning the war by any standard.

  • Charles Darwin

    Yeah, it really sounds like you guys don't want that sov you're losing (or the tech you've already lost) anyway.

  • TESTy

    Not winning the Moon war. Just as -A- will not win the station war.

    Its just what type of war you find insteresting.

  • TESTy

    Angry blueballed testy detected

  • BntyHunter

    Its hard to explain a true PVPer to the carebear mind, yu guys measure wins loses in SOV alone.

    I came back fom a year awat in the miserable desert and while Tec might be nice I would never join GSF ecause thy oen most of it.

    Thats where we differ I guess Tec and ISK is so important you will sell your bet buddy and grandma

    I wont, Tec does mean something it means we take more risks PVPing but thats it….e arent like you and sit in cozt station unless we get 5:! adv.

    SORRRY WE LOGIN TO FIGHT YOU LOG IN YO NOY GET MURDERED,,,,THAT MEANS YOU GET MRDERED ALOT. yOUR , WE WOLD DISNAMD AT THE RATE YOU
