During the final timer they were much more prepared to shoot bombers and during the timer Shines DMed me and said that the BR showed they had already killed 800 of our bombers and I responded “Shines, I have 8000 bombers” and I believe his reply was the Ace Ventura allllrightythen.gif. -Asher Elias, Victory in Geminate post The word came down on Thursday evening that we were done for now in…

As I mentioned on Friday, CCP put out a dev blog around the Keepstar battle at Atioth that took place.  And, I will say up front, that I appreciate them putting in the effort.  I love me an info graphic and CCP has provided that up front.  (Also, I’ll put all the links at the end of the post.)

Well, it has been wet here in California, or wetter than usual.  And that is a good thing, since dry years tend to end up with a good portion of the state on fire come the summer.

We did move ops on Friday and through the weekend into…

For years, the people of EVE have said that your only true advantage was your time zone. They said you could top the MER, but not win a real war. Now we are giving you your chance. We are coming into your space, on your terms, in your strongest hours. Are you a sleeping dragon, or a paper tiger? Show us what you are made of. -Asher Elias, to the pilots of WinterCo in the SOTG Imperium leadership…
