Just wanted to say thank you for all the fights with mixed fleet sizes/comps, its been an excellent experience for our new pilots experience in Faction Warfare, and honestly some of the most fun our bitter vets have had in ages (sitting on titans for hours anyone?).

We're having a blast killing what we can and dying in droves, and hope this sentiment is shared from your end.
I would however like to take a moment and apologize for the bleating and whimpering from some of the other
Amarrian Militia folk, after experiencing endless amounts of their drivel in Militia Chat, I can understand how
the last few months have been disheartening.

Keep on keepin' on.

Our own militia doesn't give us a lot of fights with mixed fleet / comps for some reason :(

As we don't care about the war, or recent events concerning it, or FW LP, or having these alts fund their own PvP, we have no ******* idea what anyone is complaining about :( :( :( !

And possibly someone 'dissed' us in militia chat :(

I'm sure u guise wouldn't dis us, and would still give us good fights if we joined you.... oh well :(

Sorry about all the tears from like, six people. I'm going to have a cry now, so, internet hugz!

It is a real shame that a corp of pilots can join a militia and in days, be the talk of the town just because they don't care about losing ships as long as they get PVP. Faction Warfare is easy for PVP, especially in the Amarr Faction. Unfortunately it is difficult to unify the Amarrians due to some of the a-holes in the militia who prefer to berate new members instead of helping them. Some of 7th's guys are alright, however they have some guys need'n some boot'n to square away those ranks...

Don't worry, all you eve players out there, Fweddit is taking care of the lil ole Amarr militia. You are all welcome.

There is a reason why most of us have militia channel set as "blink off"... Smile

I think Fweddit are super awesome, adorable and cool! But that goes without saying, considering they are the Militia corp on the Amarr side! :D

Unblinking the militia tab is more important than having your overview set up tbh.

It honestly depresses me that it's even necessary to do that. When I was flying with the Gallente militia a couple years ago, the militia channel was actually a good place for conversation without any of the random angst I see in the Amarr channel. It'd even occasionally be used for intel of all things. Watching the Amarr channel on the few occasions when I can bring myself to do so is almost like watching some bad teenage soap opera.

I capped two Major's, by myself, in a Rifter, while 12 7nth just sat there in Local smacking with pirates.

When Fweddit are around, I can't even open a site without it being camped by the time I land.

Hell yeah. Came from null as well back in the day and thought my skills as a leet-fleet-sheep would make me :awesome:. Turns out that actual pew is a challenge and proper fun when every ship in an engagement counts (ie. small gangs <20) ... combined with size restrictions that encourage flying smaller hulls (no more 100% BC/BS!) and the fun factor is elevated even further when losses are much easier to shrug off.

FW is not all bad, could just be a lot better Big smile

We've been having a blast losing dozens of thrashers a day, chasing the minmatar militia around, and scaring off the local pirate population; in frigates and destroyers- while generally laughing in the face of the try-hards in militia chat that look down on our 'terrible fits' because they don't understand 20 terrible ships > 3 good ships in most engagements.

We will also literally fight anything, if your in space, we will shoot you, have a blast doing, and no doubt erupt in laughter as we all die. Feels good man.

The Minmatar LOVE you guys for fleet fights. (just read Susan Blacks very informative and thought out blog).

The reason in my opinion they do is because you dive into them no hesitation in a mixed frig thrasher fleets. That's the spirit kill or go down in a blaze of glory.

-Beginning of trolling-

They (the minmatar) get to harvest loads of frigate killmails in their autocannon hurricanes and feel like they are elite pvp'ers.

I recall a Fweddit Thrasher/frig gang on Sosan gate in Oyonata, about 15 to 20 strong, the minmatar came to the fight in about 8 or 9 hurricanes and anti frig ruptures along with about 4 or 5 guardians.

I mean you have a leet opponent that is looking for the good fights and fun in the minmatar.

-end of trolling-

All jokes aside I for one welcome out new Fweddit friends/overlords/allies/whatever you want to call them. They are a blast and a force to be reckoned with currently and a big player in militia in the future if they keep this up.

As far as militia chat...................well...............it is a bonus CCP gives away to ppl that join FW. It will never change.

Best advice I can give you is ignore it or use it as somewhere to troll when your not doing anything else.

Oh dude simple we just invite you to the intell channels. Problem is with any militia's intell channels they are usually run by people with ego/anger problems that are liable to kick you if they feel like taking out their anger on you. If you never been in any of those don't bother yourself their is about as much 'intel' in those as there is in general militia chat.

Mhmm. Actually, we like Fweddit because they actually fight instead of crying on the forums.

Active Pilots? We've been sending them all to Amarr Militia, because God knows that they needed some serious help just a few weeks ago. Today? I'd say that the Amarr can field just as large of a fleet as us. Maybe I.LAW can't. Maybe TMFED can't. But hey, AUTOZ doesn't fly with just AUTOZ, we fly with the militia. Ya'll should try that sometime, it really works wonders.

Over shipping? May: http://autoz.eve-kill.net/?a=corp_detail&crp_id=100974&m=5&y=2012&view=ships_weapons July: http://autoz.eve-kill.net/?a=corp_detail&crp_id=100974&m=6&y=2012&view=ships_weapons We're in Cruisers, Destroyers and Frigates, mate. The Guardian supported Hurricane and Battleship fleets you claim we are always in are imaginary.

I can tell you now that AUTOZ literally doesn't have any T3 Boosting alts. LNA doesn't use Boosting alts unless very specific people are online that have access to them, which usually means there is some big operation planned.

Your chest-beating and Minmatar-bashing is cute and all, but it isn't helping you or the Amarr.

Confirming I have yet to see a single guardian, and only briefly glimpsed a few battleships on stations.

I do however, often see Loki/Tengu boosters on stations/gates; no idea who they belong to, and honestly we don't care. FWeddit has links, and we won't apologize for using them.
