[@Joybuzzard]

'Test Alliance Please Ignore' is the single best name for any guild or alliance in any MMO ever.

This is such a well-made video! One pet peeve I kinda have is the long pauses.

[@some_lurker]

Nice, this was the best EVE history video I found for the fountain war. Good work!

I know this is 5 years later, check scott Manley and his video in the fountain war

[@FancyDefect]

Awesome, pretty new to Eve so having this to get into the social dynamics of the game is vert useful for my idea. Could use your expertise.

It's been a while since I heard what was the catalyst for the war, but I think I remember someone saying it was because a coalition subscription ran out because it didn't get paid or something to that affect, and they lost their territory, so here comes about dang near every coalition in the game to claim what they left behind.

How did it come to be called The Fountain War?

[@novaalkronthe1st910]

The region they fought over was called “Fountain” kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYu0ZZige9ZqeLs Here is a video on the fountain war itself

well, crusades was about taking back the holy land from the first islamic jihad that was heading west by north africa into europe.

He skimmed a huge chunk of history in order to cram his square peg into a round hole.

What he's saying is that religion was always just a front for public consumption. The poor can be manipulated into fighting for religion because they believe they will be rewarded with eternal whatever. The average peasant wouldn't be willing to risk their lives and commit atrocities if they knew the real purpose of the war was control over trade centers and resource bases to benefit the same wealthy elites who give the orders but never actually fight.

[@RollingCalf]

There were crusades against the Vikings too

[@LORDNAG1]

They need earth invade already.

Fast forward to 2024: Goons won, every single time.🫡 Test/NC. destroyed GOTG Test/NC./FRAT (and countless others) form mega coalition called PAPI to annihilate Goons. Goons still won 🫡 TEST shell of former self back where they started, in “Testagram” 😂
