That’s a lesson PGL and Vily never learned. The moral of the story is that leaders don’t promise their stakeholders wildly impossible outcomes on the assumption they can just spin their way out of them upon their inevitable failure. The board fired him because they’d made assurances to their shareholders based on his promise of 15% growth. He achieved a remarkable 12% growth his first year. The board pointed out the best annual growth the company had ever realized previously was 4% and asked whether he wanted to revise his commitment. I’m reminded of a case study I once read about a new CEO who was hired based on an extravagant claim he’d achieve 15% revenue growth within his first year. Not exactly the stuff we read in that heady pre-war Polygon interview. ‘We’re going to exterminate our enemies, stack up their bodies like cord wood, and inherit everything they owned.’ They’ve been forced to walk back these claims a number of times, with Vily recently using “coin-toss” imagery to depict his confidence of success, and PGL, in his inimitable sad-sack rhetorical style, mumbling in a recent SOTA “uh, hypothetically, if we can kick Goons out of Delve…”.

PGL and Vily have painted themselves into a corner by setting expectations so absurdly high for this. The defence agreement agreed between Pandemic Horde and Legacy is not worth anything when the effort required to mobilize again becomes unattainable. In this instance, though, Legacy will not be able to hold Delve or Period Basis alone. It’s generally a bad idea to work in absolutes in EVE, as there is always a chance that it comes back to bite you in the ass. Legacy will be left at the mercy of the Imperium. Once their members return to their home space, the effort required to mobilize and move again will be immense, far greater than the effort required for this war. The reality is, Pandemic Horde will be leaving the warzone at some point. It is, strictly speaking, impossible for the Legacy Coalition to hold Delve against the Imperium when they no longer have any backup. It’s not a “maybe” “possibly” or “potentially”. Legacy Alliance is not capable of holding Delve against the Imperium. And this is the biggest lie being told right now, one that is being swallowed whole heartedly. That, in turn, culminates in the decision to try and claim Delve for themselves. Progodlegend and Vily have created a situation where they have had to escalate on each alliance townhall in order to save face. The logical flow of this information shows the utter shambles that is the messaging of the Legacy coalition. We will be moving out of Esoteria and into Delve and Period Basis.

We’re telling you now, at in the course of the next 1, 2, 5, 6 months, whatever. Progodlegend-the guy who proclaimed 1000 titans would be moving to Delve also delivered the news on the TEST townhall on November 15, 2020.īecause we are confident we are going to win, we’re kind of in a position to actually announce what we’re going to do, to a degree. This will become clear when we delve a little more into the roadmap of Legacy alliance.

‘Why are we talking about goals?’ you ask. That means Horde has a fairly attainable, somewhat realistic goal-not impossible in the least. On December 13, 2020, Gobbins was recorded stating that their goal is to grind down the 1DQ structures in Delve. Next comes Gobbins, and the goal of Pandemic Horde. It’s hard to spin that this is not what Vily said, but it is a minor point in the true lie of this war. Now, this was previously spun as, “This isn’t what Vily said”, but the problem here is that interviews typically use speech marks to directly quote what was said. We are aiming for the removal of Mittani and the Imperium from Eve Online.

On September 15, 2020, during an interview with Polygon, Vily stated: Some people were saying “content” others were “to downsize goons” but this has become clearer as the way progressed. The goal of this war at its start was somewhat elusive. And to be frank here: that’s very unlikely. The only way the Imperium dies is if the Imperium kills itself. However, there has been one truth in this war, as with most wars in EVE. The war has seen many ups and downs, many great victories, and mistakes. It has without a doubt been a lengthy one. At least, it is for me and many like me.Ĭurrently, we have the biggest war in EVE history still ongoing.
#QUERIOUS NO DOG MEME DRIVER#
It is the driver behind some of the most compelling reasons to play. The characters, the geopolitical moves-the sheer manpower required to run some alliances is equivalent to that in real life corporations.
