You ' re a fucking idiot why don ' t you buy a dictionary and start reading you fucktard <| sep |> I think the ' footing ' you refer to basically boils down to supers and cyno jammers . COT were consistently winning when the cyno jammers were up . but cyno jammers are only a delaying strategy . The problem is for jammers to work you have to win every single fight , because it only takes your enemy to win one fight and you lose the cyno jammer for 6 weeks . Realistically , winning every single fight in every possible time zone isn ' t something anyone can guarantee . Once the cyno jammers come down , the supers role in and as I ' ve said repeatedly , it ' s a zerosum mechanic that simply boils down to who has more . The above is precisely what happened . COT were winning , PanFam AUTZ ninja ' ed a Cyno jammer up in the UMIKK constellation and after that , with supers able to drop on grid it became impossible to prevent Tribute from falling . Personally my only surprise is that it has taken this long for PanFam to push into Tribute . I thought tribute would fall in maybe 34 weeks , but it has taken 3 times as long as that just to take 1 constellation and get a foothold in 2 others . For me the real intrigue , the ' meta ' now , is all about the Keepstar . Nobody knows how that is going to play out , and it ' s going to be a real test of PanFams mentality . just how prepared are they to really risk their big toys . because when they undock 100 supers for an entosis node in tribute they know they aren ' t really risking anything . It ' s not like they ' re really going to get counterdropped , since there is no local entity with the numbers to do that . However , the Keepstar fights are another thing entirely . when PanFam undock their big dicks for that fight , some of them won ' t be coming home and it ' ll be really really interesting to see how cavalier or bold PanFam are prepared to be in pursuit of taking out the Keepstar , or whether they will try to pussy away from it .
