I don't understand why you guys chest beat so much.

You look pretty useless on the Killboards.

In fact your last line is a bit contradictory. A merc corp that no smart corp should ever hire isn't really a very good merc corp at all.

Scam corp maybe.

As long as they keep getting hired (and paid), I'd say they're a "good" merc corp. What they do, how that relates to what they claim to do, and whether or not they're taking advantage of their employers is all irrelevant.

Killboard ISK efficiency has never mattered to us. However, our high content/hour ratio matters a lot.

Sorry mate, don't you just hate when marketing takes a new direction and doesn't even bother to tell everyone else?

I dont know why merc corps beat their chest so much either. I think because, really, at the end of the day we all know most merc corps simply wont engage in any activity with any risk associated with it.

So you get the chest beating we have here, to maintain the facade of being "Mercenaries". I think deep down they know they are lying to themselves as much as they are lying to each other.

Day 2 - The time creeps by. We live in fear now, although we have seen no signs of our aggressors. We believe they are playing mind games with us, with some success. We stationed one of our more experienced individuals in his best combat ship on the door to our home. Our first line of defense against unwanted intrusions.

Unfortunately as the hours drew on and his nerves were left in shambles he inadvertently targeted an unannounced activation on the hole and killed one of our own. Clearly the mind games are wearing us down.

We stopped most of our PI now convinced they are hiding behind our POCOs just waiting for us. A few individuals did fleet up and farm our C3 again, netting another 400 mil.

We remain on guard, although the long hours are wearing us down. We believe this all part of their plan. however, much to our dismay.

This thread just got forwarded to me, and gave me a good chuckle.

First off, we're not a mercenary alliance. We have no contact information, no thread advertising our services, and have never accepted a single contract in our half-month history. The only thing that would give people any idea we operate as mercenaries is an alliance description reading "Available for Hire".

As far as I know, one of the members from "Worm Hole." used this single line of text, and only this, as the pretense to scam some poor bloke out of 2B ISK - the POS passwords were offered up for free. Oh, and while I'm here, I'd just like to say that Forsaken Assylum is a very good mercenary alliance whom I've hired in the past and have done great work.

I love these guys. Kill boards don't mean squat in J-Space. Its all about content creation and living as on-the-edge as eve allows.

Does it matter? Content is content, and stupidity in EVE results in tears from the stupid. Which is what this thread is about in the first place.

Sorry bud, doesn't work like that. If I was getting paid to hunt you, I'd be sitting on your undock in an hour, but I'm not, unfortunately. Poor Ood, lost their tower, then they get scammed by mercs, then they hire mercs that admit they can't be bothered to hunt us in WHs.


Fortunately we didn't get paid to watch you sit in a POS. So far we are on track for what we were paid to do. By the way, we don't station camp.

Tell you what, since you clearly need a better intel guy, we'll consider doing for you what we did for Devil's Warrior Alliance when they had a hard time finding our home system.


Cool.

If I paid a merc corp money to make my enemies feel pain, I'd expect them to lose a few ships in the process. You're not a merc corp, you're a highsec wardec corp. For anyone who doesn't live in highsec, this has almost no effect.

I can't even really blame you guys. I mean, people are just throwing iskies at you to essentially just sit around doing nothing. Why wouldn't you take their money? You really have a solid business plan there.


Merc corps have many purposes. So far you all have been huddled up in your WH awaiting REDEMPTION or whatever your "leader" tells you is coming. This is fine with us. As I stated earlier, you are doing exactly what we planned, and getting paid for. Hiding at home.

Some people don't find fighting fun. Maybe thats why they chose to live in a wormhole? To shoot rats?

Up to the usual I see. Not surprising. Alts are a great thing.

I have a feeling you're going to become acquainted with Forsaken in ways you never imagined, nor wished for in the very near future.

10/10 for thread.
