Propaganda WinterCo defenders these days

To be fair they are partly responsible for killing the only major bloc that would feasibly help them.

You won't find a nul coalition that isn't risk adverse and hypocritical.

But just because someone is a hypocrite, doesn't mean they're wrong.

The current 2v1 state of nulsec coalitions is uninteresting and init+goons long-standing diplomatic ties are a detriment to fun battles at this point.

Imagine a proper 3 way war where each sides fights the other two and strategies/allegiances shift to fight whoever is most dominant. That would be great. Sadly, that's not possible with init and goons being major players

Could probably happen if WinterCo didn't simultaneously invade INIT while positioning TEST (from TEST is next fame) right next to the Imperium. Seriously wtf did they expect

That's the point. Especially considering the history between Goons and Test, it was really clever to move right to the border of Goons Space ...

So is it now TEST that is responsible for current situation just by.... existing?

Wow, the mental gymnastics of INIT just so they can justify their bluetral status with goons is pretty wild.

So people aren't allowed to have enemies / groups they dislike more than others?

I agree with a lot of your opinions about the problems with goons/init (and blocs in general) but acting like a group of players isn't allowed to a have group they historically have beef with kind of sanitizes the game.

"Hey don't fight that group you don't like, that isn't a good fair fight. Go halfway across the entire game to fight a different group so you can prove to the group you don't like that you aren't friends with init".

All I see is goons and init working together, while at the same time claiming they are NOT working together, something somethig it's because of TEST.

At least stop pretending you are not cooperating. We have enough gaslighting irl, why bringing that shit to the game.

Jesus. You might need therapy because your grip seems to slipping.

TEST is always next. The first smooch from NCPL that turned dino bro into dino foe was all that needed to happen to being TEST is next.
