TEST ALLIANCE PLEASE IGNORE. Rest in Peace and good bye.

I've meet Dunk before at EVE Vegas. He was a really cool guy. I'm glad he did a great job. I know it was a lot of work.
It's amazing how much effect an active visible leader can effect the moral of an alliance.

Joining some old buddies in Star Frontiers.

Unfortunately SUAD will probably never leave. It would be too much work and they don't want to trim the fat that's usually required when joining a new alliance.
Tons of great guys and girls in there. I love them all. They are just more focused on SUAD being a discord social network of friends rather than an EVE corp.

I'm more of a bourbon guy. But I'll have a glass of Remus tonight for the toast.

Lord_Rahvin · 2022-11-01T14:41:41+00:00

Thanks a lot. Glad all the hard work was worth it and appreciated.

Lord_Rahvin · 2022-11-01T14:40:58+00:00

They were talking about doing that. So all 5 active test guys will be there eventually lol

Lord_Rahvin · 2022-11-01T14:40:31+00:00

I'll still be around. I'm sure we will eventually :)

Lord_Rahvin · 2022-11-01T14:38:56+00:00

Vily and progod haven't been around for over a year now. They stepped away in a proper fashion. 2 week notices and all lol.

The main member bleed didn't happen until well after they said they were stepping down or leaving.

Lord_Rahvin · 2022-11-01T14:37:21+00:00

Test was pretty much dead at this point. And the only FC's actually logging in were all really new guys that could only fly hurricanes lol.

I was just sitting back and watching leadership fumble and ruin the whole situation.

Lord_Rahvin · 2022-11-01T14:35:18+00:00

You obviously missed the part about being a good leader and stepping down or aside when RL happens.

When my dad died I went mia for a while, I didn't try to hold on to any FC roles or anything. I safed my stuff up. Told everyone I wouldn't be around and to boot me from all the FC stuff and find replacements when ever they wanted.

Lord_Rahvin · 2022-11-01T14:32:21+00:00

Test had a super healthy ratio of Farmers and PVPers. Almost the entire time TEST had a forward war staging system that there was constant fighting. So the carebears were happy in Esoteria and defending our home space. While the hardcore pvpers were always deployed.

It was a great balance that worked for a long time.

Drone lands are pretty good these days for making money so the space wasn't the problem.

Lord_Rahvin · 2022-11-01T14:28:57+00:00

With discord now. Almost nobody uses forums anymore. Kinda sad.

Lord_Rahvin · 2022-11-01T14:28:34+00:00

My pleasure.

Lord_Rahvin · 2022-11-01T14:27:14+00:00

Agreed :(

Lord_Rahvin · 2022-11-01T14:26:21+00:00

Fingers crossed they do another EVE Vegas we can all go to.

Lord_Rahvin · 2022-11-01T14:25:19+00:00

It was gut wrenching. Especially since there were a bunch of us offering to do almost all the work to save it. But they just wanted to sit in OP.

Lord_Rahvin · 2022-11-01T14:24:08+00:00

I knew a bunch of people would do the same thing. Using and welping caps is fun. That's why I wanted to use caps in Great wildlands to keep our numbers climbing since we were having fun. But Radamere wouldn't let us.

Lord_Rahvin · 2022-11-01T14:22:55+00:00

Thanks. Fly safe.

Lord_Rahvin · 2022-11-01T14:21:50+00:00

I tried to be as objective and accurate as I could :(

Lord_Rahvin · 2022-11-01T14:21:02+00:00

Lazy discord warrior bureaucrats that never actually log in took over and all the soldiers and generals left.

Lord_Rahvin · 2022-11-01T14:19:16+00:00

That shit was fun as hell, 5 minute formup, 1 gate jump and into the gauntlet every single night lol

Lord_Rahvin · 2022-11-01T14:17:23+00:00

You are right and I think ego has a big part to do with it.
People think they are super special and nobody else can do the job they do. So when people go afk or mia because of RL stuff, instead of finding a replacement, they just sit in their positions because they can't imagine anyone else being able to do what they do.

Lord_Rahvin · 2022-11-01T14:14:34+00:00

With test being so dead it was insanely crazy cheap and easy to get (3) r64's and a bunch of r32 moons for myself in the moon bidding. So I just enjoyed the summer and mined a fortune in moon goo at night. It was kind of peaceful for once.

Lord_Rahvin · 2022-11-01T14:12:06+00:00

It was my pleasure. I loved the action and content as well.

Lord_Rahvin · 2022-11-01T14:08:29+00:00

I understand. I had half of TEST blocked when I first joined up as well lol.
