(11:57:48 PM) Bring_Stabity: this isnt news

Is this true? 2k/month to lead -A- fleets? Does anyone have any confirmation of this, or basically know anything about it?

Off topic, that recording is gold, you should listen to it.

If true that is one lucky guy.
Also not sure if actually against EULA.

If it is true, I think that -A- are entitled to ask for at least a partial refund.

Are you sure this is not $2000 ISK equivalent? Most Large alliances pay their FC's, none of this is news. Unless you're another HS pubbie who posts in the GD section about nullsec.


-A- is ****, and always will be. They should ask for a refund. Have you ever listened to the leaked comms from Makalu?

This is what a Makalu fight consists of:

1- Dude, we are so awesome and the CFC is so ****...
2- Okay guys, jump...
3- Fleet jumps to its death
4- Makalu starts to circle jerks his followers to try and make them feel like they really won and are so great at eve, even though they just lost.
5- Then he goes bi-polar and gets mad
6- Followed shortly by a rage-quit from his fleet
7- followed shortly there after by his cloaky/nullified tengu undocking from station and running away with his tail between his legs
8- The whole time this is happening, he is on comms talking major **** and chest beating in local like he just won.

FC, what do?

I quoted the broadcast I received verbatim. Not registered for goon services eh? Typical FA :P

And I'm asking if it's actually 2k/month if you bothered to read.

Not like there's not a reasonable amount of real money floating around from all that RMT.

The recording has nothing to do with the salary. It was just funny that he was so angry about the keres. And funny that in a 500 man fleet fight, one tiny little frigate was causing so much grief.

Only $2000 a month? He could get more sitting on the couch bludging free money from the government.

He's made worse calls.

"I'm being webbed, primary the Rifters!!"

There were 50+ Huggins on the battlereport.

Basically a 2 day old noob can expect to completely shut down an -A- fleet by applying EWAR they don't even understand to the FC.

Someone needs to re-make that "every ship counts" propaganda and make it all about Malaku.

Nothing new.

Some alliances have been known to pay their fc's for quite some time now. Though I have no idea of the actual numbers involved since it didn't concern me enough to try and find out. ;)

Made me laugh. +1

Were I you and they are paying that then I'd renegotiate your fees for the Delve deployment too ;)

Hi brand new people to MMO's.

The big organizations have always been about making money, real $$$ money.

Now you know ... sleep well.
