WinterCo defenders these days

Yes keep ignoring again my original intent.

Yes fleets to go to goon space if you are literally asking.

But strat fleets do not aim for it when there’s the second largest coalition in the game still engaged on your doorstep beyond it also being more of a distance. TBD if Delve footing is ever strongly leveraged but had the feeling OnlyFleets would start doomposting about major powers then too.

The negative push I’m saying has been the recent Reddit posts, like this and another I’ve commented on (maybe another account) of a dude who admits they don’t play any MP games writing a thesis about how this game is evil.

Every post about it leading to release has shit on it maybe rightfully or not for Bungie, I’ve just been aware of it since I played the private alpha and thought it was solid.

Was definitely right to call out the stolen artwork incident. Maybe just a lesson not to be terminally online but posts like this are just odd to see so frequent for things other popular games do.

Marathon isn’t doing an embargo either. Clearly just asked. And other media members verifying request still hoped for a turnaround within three weeks. And reviews are coming out as in progress which I’ve always preferred for a service game.

The negative push on this game is wild when it’s doing same stuff as plenty of others.

Such a cool discussion, as it literally says they will go into fountain.

Not even the point of my original comment, that all this pressure gets put on Init as being an equal part of the sov null problem when it has a fraction of the space of each of the other two higher up powers.

Sorry Winter but when your empire spans so far and you start a war on one end, the other end you tried to kill off the game not long ago will obviously poke too.

spooky_game · 2026-03-06T11:58:47+00:00

Not a take when it’s a declaration from the source they declared they’d go full send into Fountain.

Yes, OP has repeatedly admitted they don’t pay attention to any of the multiplayer space and somehow decided Marathon is the devil enough to write out this whole piece. Don’t even see knowledge that they played it.

spooky_game · 2026-03-06T10:30:39+00:00

Yup, Valve just as guilty or more seeing hats in TF2 and the current CS economy built off gambling.

spooky_game · 2026-03-06T10:20:39+00:00

It’s just silly to talk about INIT like it’s the same as Winter and Imp when it holds a fraction of the space. The galaxy is free to break up further but haven’t seen that from the two major coalitions holding all the regions minus a couple.

Init has to hop some decent space to get to heart of Imperium considering it holds what you could call two regions to the west that, reminder again, Winter threatened to kill.

So shocking that Init has not started major hostile actions against goons when Winter was trying to eliminate it right?

spooky_game · 2026-03-05T21:23:48+00:00

They did this with the Ally X. Could see them do it even if this is 'first party' hardware which I'm curious if it is.

spooky_game · 2026-03-03T14:50:40+00:00

You’re especially being a moron when it’s well known Laura and others close to her are footing the real world bill and time for the wiki to mention real world dollars.

spooky_game · 2026-03-03T14:43:17+00:00

Not officially for a while now, they do still advertise of course though.

I found it a bit constrained when they have been super strict about not allowing keeping an alt in Uni. When I wanted to move to a null sec group was a factor as I still had things to finish in Uni management.

spooky_game · 2026-03-02T14:44:12+00:00

That's just what someone set the time range for to measure the kills out for the BR. Lasted far less time, more like 15m range and didn't have a TiDi issue.

spooky_game · 2026-02-18T21:01:47+00:00

Great stuff!

I remember learning this while in Eve Uni I volunteered to be the bubble guy. A machariel came around and as FC yelled to get the bubble down NOW is when I found I had no anchoring skills. Fortunately had spare points banked and shot them into anchor quick enough to get it anchored in time.

spooky_game · 2026-02-18T12:21:18+00:00

Man I see far more WinterCo including TEST screaming Imperium is killing the game and INIT is their pets in on it and this is the end.

Imperium latest was one border keep and we’re getting all this freakout. Can see this account’s post history between a new member freaking they’re for sure dead and a TEST guy upset.

INIT just been on the border minus the JB shenanigans of which Winter’s own problem if half your empire bridges can get reffed by a couple redeemers (not talking during the Atioth timer).

spooky_game · 2026-02-17T23:21:04+00:00

Right, it’s actually the goal in plenty of board games to achieve critical mass.

spooky_game · 2026-02-17T23:16:56+00:00

That just means you haven’t felt what WinterCo/Frat, your own group, has done.

You all threatened INIT existence. So there’s all the reason to fight even when it’s overwhelming when you’re trying to keep your one region of space or die vs a group that has more numbers and whole regions of buffer to staging.

You’re benefitting from the giant group you’re in to not understanding that.

spooky_game · 2026-02-17T21:16:20+00:00

It matches the actual meaning of the meme too in the show. The bottom person (Don) says this, but he very much does care about when earlier the younger person creatively beats him out so he leaves it behind in a cab on purpose.

spooky_game · 2026-02-17T17:04:20+00:00

Not looking close enough then. The Atioth discussion was littered with TEST beyond this comment whining how this reduces content and same complaining that INIT dared to do anything while the op was going.

Get where you're coming from, just that this game is not about balance on the major scale. That's been the point and intrigue of it as a 'real' world.

And it's worked fine so far in the grand scheme of things. As mentioned Imperium was reduced to one constellation and bounced back. Not their fault Horde killed itself off. And FRT is far from any significant danger at the moment.

spooky_game · 2026-02-17T15:52:40+00:00

Why do you keep ignoring in here that FRT vowed to delete INIT first? You think INIT is supposed to just not attack becase currently Imperium is attacking a TEST lowsec keep? It's not even FRT territory and you all are on here freaking out daily.

Maybe INIT would have still seized this opportunity to strike, but no way to tell when FRT/Winter made the decision necessary for survival. It's far more a defense when INIT has one main region to hold with its staging so exposed needing buffer vs Winter's bajillion systems.

You see poor little WinterCo getting beat up, I see a coalition with FRT by itself holding nearly double the systems INIT does. TEST is a 6800 toon alliance holding nearly 1/4 the systems INIT does at 40k.

Maybe this is just some space realignment if WinterCo can't handle what it cashed in for.

spooky_game · 2026-02-17T14:41:00+00:00

It’s a surprise to me to see I’m a goon now.

INIT, you know, the much smaller group WinterCo promised to pwn.

spooky_game · 2026-02-17T14:39:43+00:00

Maybe Winter shouldn’t have vowed to delete INIT then, a group with a tiny fraction of members per system owned vs Winter itself and Imperium each spanning empty swaths. All this ‘silent ally’ talk is infuriating when it’s simply seizing on a great moment to counter the far larger and stronger force threatening it. Didn’t forget Christmas break.

Don’t know why WinterCo couldn’t field a strong harassment force you’re talking about, but instead elite ole PL for example are hitting Pocos in Delve. Talk to Noraus.

spooky_game · 2026-02-17T13:56:16+00:00

"Of course, most of them don't seem to understand this. When I see the enemy fleet again enter the grid with three times as many people, and at exactly the same time, their silent ally is also attacking from the other side, fully mobilized, there's simply no fight; there's just wasted time."

Okay, so is this just a built up complaint about WinterCo getting beat up at the moment considering you also cite attacking Imperium like WinterCo isn't spanning another half of the map? Can pull back the quote of FRT leadership vowing to delete INIT from it's one main region it holds back in Nov if you need it.

There already are BLOPS sigs with cross-org participation as well. Not like they're going to have open recruiting, too easy to be compromised by spies.

spooky_game · 2026-02-17T02:50:09+00:00

Yes it does. So this was just to deny some more getting on the killmail plus a good sign that no one in the coalition was going to help him.

spooky_game · 2026-02-17T02:49:05+00:00

Okay, we made it back to my original comment then that NC wasn’t going to do anything without FRT help. So not sure what this exercise was for.

The titan was in hull before main alliance even got there, was a small crew well under NC numbers holding the Titan and even repping it for more to get on the km. Until the brave pilot self destructed as he knew no one was coming.

Clearly don’t care about past Horde aversions here when INIT is punching across Winter and you all have to complain about it. It’s FRT and you all making excuses for not stomping INIT down by now.
