BoB is no more. GoonSwarm is directly responsible for this.
Timeline
-----------
-- GoonSwarm holds one of their recruiting drives for non-SA members (i.e. invite them and then punt them out later once they've moved their stuff to a GoonSwarm controlled station and keep their stuff).
-- One person in particular has enjoyed his time in GoonSwarm and wants to stay. Turns out this person is an alt of one of the directors of Black Nova Corp, part of the BoB alliance. He gives his login information to the BoB forums as proof of who is his.
-- Intelligence Director for GoonSwarm suggests the soon to be turncoat disband the alliance. Does so. Leaves with a ton of their isk and a huge amount of capitol ships.
-- Goon Swarm makes a BoB alliance to prevent them from getting the name back.
The disbanding of the alliance happened back on the 5th. BoB reformed as KenZoku. Apparently there are huge amounts of ships (300-600+) roaming around the Delve system right now trying to prevent KenZoku from getting sovereignity of the system back (they're currently sitting at Sov 1 so capitol ships ahoy).

Are these goons related to other goons I know and love?

HAH
btw - that is a great write-up. I think BoB is grabbing its ankles right now, cos the goons are just pwning those POS's

Been reading up some more on this.
Looks like BoB needs to pull something off soon or they are going to lose terribly. Apparently their entire DN fleet is camped in a station by the goons while BoB towers are being mowed down (apparently they didn't even have SC in them because they didn't expect a siege).
The sov map shows goonfleet already 'owning' a few systems, and it's delayed by a week or two, so they could very well have even more territory now.
Many of BoB's 'pets' seem to be leaving BoB to die or just not putting up much of a fight.

Hah yeah - "inside every BoB Capsule Pilot, there's a Red-Blooded SAGoon trying to get out!" (think Full Metal Jacket)
BoB's leadership is fraught with overconfidence - and this is the root cause of their strategic blunder. They simply underestimated the voracity of Goonfleet and its allies.

Been keeping up with this on the GoonSwarm thread on the SA forums.
That territory of GoonSwarm you see in the SE corner of the map is abandoned. GS pulled ALL of their ships and equipment out and left the Player Owned Structures when they assaulted the former-BoB territories. They're betting all or nothing on this push.
SirMolle (leader of BoB) loses his 4th Titan. Take note of the name of the Titan. Yes, the Goons managed to kill a Titan named "Darwin's Revenge" on the 200th anniversary of Charles Darwin's birth. Shrike is a titan pilot alt of his. Summary of how it happened.

State of play at the time:
The CSAA comes out in 30 seconds. They have a handful of triage carriers that WILL rep it if we don't [fuzzy kittens] it up.
We're scrambling for a cyno for our cap fleet.
We're trying to get dictors and heavy dictors in to bubble the caps.
Meanwhile, Shrike cynos in.
One of our hictors warped to someone randomly because he got confused, he landed 5km away from Shrike. He checked he wasn't in 319 or something.
He announced in gang "WWWW SHRIKE". He got a point on him, he aggressed him.
Shrike went offline.
We cynoed in dreads.
Shrike melted.
Booya~~~
(Oh and we're about to kill this CSAA pos)
And yes, for the past week what is believed to be most of KenZoku's (Alliance BoB is currently operating under, called KenGoku by goons) cap fleet is currently trapped in a NPC station in PR-8CA. It's currently being camped 23/7 by the goons and their allies (Pandemic Legion, RAZOR Alliance, Tau Ceti Confederation, and a couple others I can't remember).
And as of this coming Monday, all KenZoku towers in Delve will be destroyed.
Quote:
There's like three stations left in Delve that ken still has tower superiority in and every single one of the towers in those stations is in reinforced. Which means, come monday evening, they're gone.

Any of us still playing? I'm kinda wondering if the corp I was in for a short while managed to join BoB before all this went down.
