Since July 5, Asher said, the ranks of Goonswarm’s allies have swelled.

Polygon spoke with Asher on Discord on Wednesday, and he helped put the scale of the war and the significance of this battle into perspective. The enemy was at the gates, and it was up to Goonswarm fleet commander (FC) Asher Elias to destroy those keepstars before they could anchor in place. If these keepstars had been left in place to establish themselves, it would have opened up not one but two beachheads for PAPI’s fleets to flood ships into Goonswarm territory. These huge defensive structures stand 160 kilometers high and allow other massive ships to be ferried into the star systems where they are located. They brought with them two massive structures called keepstars - Eve’s equivalent of Star Wars’ Death Star.

More than 8,825 players would fight over it. It all adds up to the makings of a spectacular confrontation.Ī 160-kilometer tall keepstar deployed by PAPI in Goonswarm’s region of Delve. But, after 10 years of dominance, Goonswarm won’t be going down without a fight. Most estimates have them outmanning Goonswarm and its allies by roughly three-to-one - 50,000 characters holding out against 150,000, according to some reports. Simply judging by sheer player count, PAPI has a significant advantage. Speaking with Polygon last month, Vily said his goal is nothing less than the “ extermination” of Gianturco’s forces, and the dissolution of his beloved Goonswarm. On the other side of the battle lines is a massive coalition, referred to as PAPI, led by a player known only as Vily. Leading that faction is one of Eve’s most notorious personalities - Alex “The Mittani” Gianturco. World War Bee 2 is an all-out assault against Goonswarm, a powerful player-led faction that has been a major part of the game’s culture for at least a decade. But players tell Polygon that the war is far from over. When the smoke cleared, the faction known as Goonswarm was triumphant. On Sunday, the stakes rose considerably when a total of 8,825 players showed up for the single largest battle in the massively multiplayer game’s nearly 18-year history. So far it’s been a slow burn, with multiple medium-sized engagements all over the spacefaring game’s southwestern sectors. Providence's moralle is low and our armada is securing stronger and stronger footholds in the region day by day.A massive war began in Eve Online in early July, pitting some of the game’s most powerful groups against one another. Our fleets our full, our will is strong and the might of our gun batteries is raining upon the weak forces of Providence, inflicting heavy casualties. So far, this has proven to have been a master stroke. Here is where you see the true genius of our glorious leader, instead of infighting he gave the two factions - Team10 and Team20 - a mutual enemy in the pretender Jintaan. Our glorious leader explained how, as the current dominant faction, it was important for the anti-weebs to stretch themselves and thus not 10 but 20 corpses of the pretender were required and a no-take-backsies lifetime ban of cartoons in Discord would occurr. The anti-weeb faction of Waffles, who had rejoiced at the outlawing of the cartoons, inquired of the great leader Reza Najafi First of his Name what they could do to ensure cartoons were never allowed back. During the first great public address of World War Weeb, Reza Najafi the Merciful showed compassion to our own weebs and decreed "If the weebs collect 10 corpses of the great pretender - Jintaan - we shall allow them once again to kawaii freely upon our services". Invasion plans were drawn up and the Waffle armada marched. It was discovered that Jintaan (unlawful and false ruler of Providence) was a weeb of the highest magnitude. That was, until one day, when the leader of Waffles - Reza Najafi - decided "enough of these shitty cartoons" and thus decreed there to be no more shitty cartoons in Waffles discord.Ī while later, after some meetings, BBQs and BBQ meetings.

This then caused the knock on effect of other closet weebs filling all channels in all timezomes with cartoons. Tumeski filled Waffles discord channels with endless cartoons. Once upon a time, there was a weeb known as Tumeski.
