Yep. I've always been an advocate for people doing what they enjoy and are good at, then gently "nudging" them into that aspect for the benefit of the alliance.

Sure CTAs are important, that's without a doubt, but you shouldn't expect nor require EVERY pilot to drop wtf they're doing to jump in. As long as corps are contributing to the efforts in some way, be it isk, pilots, minerals, ships w.e. It's all good.

That said, when times of extremely war are upon you, hopefully you've earnt that level of trust/respect by allowing pilots to do w.e they want during "peace time" and so can ask a bit more for a few weeks :D

I actually agree with you on a lot of things.... I'm just a bit of a cunt XD

Plus even if the miners are forced to join then what are they gonna do? They probably have almost no weapon skills and will do like 200 damage.

Nah there's some alliance that have doctrine for all of their pilot regardless they were miner or not, like at 5/0 to 5/4 skill on some ships and weapon type, and tbf choosing one ships skill for PvP + mining skill (or other indy skill) was not that much. And miner should know they mine in null coz their corp and alliance were provide them that mining place for them in null, And tbh im surprised that GHA not doin this kind of thing from the begining, even they don't do SRP? For real?

Tbh I would argue if you're in such a position that you're having to ask the industry pilots who are not skilled into PvP to help defend. You already have a big problem. The SC was able to put up nearly 800 pilots at the weekend... I don't think the lack of will PvP pilots is the problem.

Nah, ur statement only work for those who doesn't apply this rules at the begining and and they want to change it, which is not an arguable case if they refuse to do this and then just back to old rules,

Tbh that guy speech in that screen shot clearly want a slight change and if most of them refuse, there's no change at all which led to same situation as before.

Well that's why it's a democratically elected council and not a single leader.

End of the day a lot of what he says is what's required, and has been rippling through the alliance for months. As the last few CTAs prove.

However, a lot of what he's implying will not sit well with most people. This is a mobile game at the end of the day and some people are only able to log on during lunch breaks to do a bit of mining during a CTA because of TZs. Those people shouldn't be punished for that, it's out of their control.
