How Goons can still succeed

I personally dont think someone who is 7 months old is in any position to judge if mittens has made goons deteriorate since taking power, it sounds like you have bought into the /eve anti goons narrative too much, hell if you were here a little over a year ago you would have been saying this about PL and how PL are cancer and the game needs to get rid of them. You are right that goons wont die, yes mittens doesnt have a huge involvement in fleet comps, fitting, or FCing. Yes people may view him as a cancer to eve. However, he has managed to minimize goons loses during WWB by realising early on it wasnt possible to defend the north. I see constantly on reddit how goons should have fought for every system, how they should have had a final stand bla bla bla... Looking at the history of goons what mittens has said is just history repeating itself. goons have been in much worse situations previously and through a "hellwar" rose back to a major power in eve. What mittens has done with the war so far has put goons in a great position for a counter attack which will inevitably come. They still have the vast majority of their super fleet, no one knows how many of them are going to be caught by pl and how many of them are safe id be surprised if mittens knows exactly how many they will lose when they do log in. i think the only people who can truely know that, all propaganda aside is CCP. They are still unimaginably rich because you know what all that staying docked has meant? they have hardly had to reimburse ships, which in this war would have been the main isk sink. so what mittens who is "downright useless" has done for GSF is give them the best starting point to turn the war around. No the war is not over, did France lose WWII? no, they lost the battles for control of their home. likewise MBC has won the battle for the north and goons have lost their home. If they can hold it without becoming the Evil they hated (blue donut) remains to be seen. Whatever happens the next year in eve is going to be content packed and fun for everyone. I just hope MBC sticks to its guns and disbands. No one wants a large group of people who dont shoot each other and own half the map
