1. Before starting the campaign carry out a reality check. Are your leaders arseholes?

2. When bragging about your achievements, achieve them first.

3. When scheduling your allies to cover times and plexes, try to avoid putting allies together who hate each others guts.

4. Do not compare yourself to the Elite Special Forces in RL, you are a nerd in a bugged and flawed internet game. If you really were that good, you wouldn't be here.

5. If you are going to carry out some form of Psy-op campaign against the enemy. Try to have some method of measuring the effectiveness of your strategy. Just guessing the effect and making a lot of noise about it, only makes you look stupid.

6. When deciding whether you are winning or not, you have to factor in the enemies objectives in the equation. So for example picking off a Rifter in a novice plex with a Garmur is not a win, if the enemy close the plex.

7. Find out the smack talk policies of your allies and try to avoid putting allies with conflicting policies in the system at the same time.

8. Before posting stuff on the forum understand that nobody gives a f*ck and probably won't even read your post unless it is the OP, the first couple of replies and maybe the last reply.

9. Be ready for setbacks in your plans and have an excuse ready.

10. Before lying about some fact, try to think ahead about how your enemy may use it against you later.

11. Remember the lies you have told, otherwise someone else will read them back to you at the most inappropriate moment.

12. Keep your publically stated goals vague so that you can change them later as the situation dictates.

13. Have a timetable to end the campaign (you don't have to tell the enemy). Just plugging on until your friends and allies are burnt out and desert you is the worst outcome you can engineer.

14. Only a c*nt rage quits after 12 days and abandons the people he brought into the campaign.

15. But don't worry, if the worst comes to the worst, there is always WoW.

WTS: Low sec carebear with good sh*t posting skills. Can fly carrier to evacuate system at a moments notice when needed. Clean corp history. Currently a member of an alliance that was relevant once (awaiting independent verification). Looking for any reasonable offer. Will throw in a free booster and Falcon alt to sweeten the deal.

Trent - like Lori - you sound so very weak - and you admit to it.


I like your tactica - Tactica Trent - but point zero should be: Accomplish something yourself!


If you understand what RL special forces do (bleeding) then start thinking about acting like that. They do not brag - and they all know they will die, because leadership does not care about them and regards them as ammunition.

So being an internet special force make you even better than in RL - you can not die.


I really like how upset you still are - feeling weak makes ppl upset.

That alone is worth all the effort we put into breaking your guys - 07

Rehelis kinda reminds me of those japanese soldiers isolated on remote islands that still thought the war was on decades later, lol.

Ease up bro, you lost.

Dude! I would have loved to have been more actively involved with the defense of Huola. But we were on Tier 4, I could make 75K LP per mission and I could run 30 missions a night. I play this game for my enjoyment, not to make 'content' for others.

That doesn't mean I didn't know what was going on. I do have some communication skills and talked with people who were involved and I did manage to wh*re on a few kills inbetween missions.

Exclusive insight into top level FEO directorate board room!!!!:

Dear FEO Directors

I propose that we make an assault on either Kamela or Vard. I feel that we should check the pulse of the Amarr and try and stimulate some gud fites in the process. This would have to be a cross alliance effort with agreement for support from all alliance fcs for a week long effort.

I would propose an assault commencing the week of the 28th January with flipping timetabled for the weekend. Please vote for yes/no Kamela/Vard


I posted this in 2013. Kamela was chosen and it fell by the 1st of Feb. The system push 'for content' is nothing new. Sadly since this push there has been little appetite on our part for a plexing offensive. We generally have lives and such activities tend to prove a hinderance to appropriate social functioning.

In other news, the above post proves that I was once relevant. Players used to abuse me in local. Now it's all "Lory you douche" and "STFU Major". I get so jealous. Cry
