Crime & Punishment

True, I didn't think about that. Well, here is another fun "exploit" somebody posted over in Warfare and Tactics:

If you have a corp in your alliance that you don't like and want to boot, you can force them to disband their corp.

Step 1. Have your alliance wardec you 1-man alt corp.
Step 2. 1 man alt corp sets the dec mutual
Step 3. Boot the corp from your alliance
Step 4. Have the 1 man alt corp set the resulting war dec with the booted corp mutual.
Step 5. Have the 1 man alt corp unset the alliance war mutual and surrender.

You now have trapped the booted corp and they can never join a new alliance. There is no tracing back who declared war, so if you guys want to use some high level director spies you can force your enemies corps to disband before they can reform a new alliance. Just a thought...

Actually- you are incorrect.

Corps/Alliances involved in a Mutual war can only leave that alliance, and only re-join that alliance.

Neither side may accept new corps for the duration of the war.

Since I allied with Dec Shield last year, I have "collected" over 60 closed corporations/alliances, +/- 20 billion in kills and nearly nothing in losses, a tear pool that's kept me subscribed through some terrible expansions and patches

As a matter of fact some of the larger alliances have actually done exactly what I suggested previously and what you're on to - close and reopen under same name. If you're a true griefer/merc you don't care what your history looks like. The problem are for the carebear wanna be grifers with POS's anchored and assets in space.

I just had a sizable alliance leader contact me in game via email and ask me to help him get his alliance out of the war trap. There's nothing anybody can really do once you get snared by Zerg. Not even Zerg can stop the hurt once the trap is set.

All Hail Zerg!

spacebears who think they're good... Noir

amazing how this thread is like the 3rd threadnaught on the topic for the past 3 months and people are just getting it

take down your POS's close your corp and reopen it

Neutral-repair-bear detected.

I and people like me voted for you because you're the leader of one of the most well known mercenary organizations in the game and because we knew that changes to the war mechanics were on the slate for development. We did so knowing that you have always been very publicly against the use of neutral logistics and trusted that regardless of that you'd work to see that the mechanics changes were in the interest of the gameplay not sucking balls.

And here we are sitting here post inferno with a record low number of listed mercs in the merc contracts channel, every merc corp and alliance in the game entangled in a giant mass of mutual wars that shouldn't exist, charging clients unreasonable fees just to cover the cost of declaring war and with The 0rphanage disbanded and you think that the reason people are upset with you is a mechanic that we assumed was being changed anyway?

You're either totally detached from reality or you're being intellectually disingenuous to shirk making real responses to criticism, either way your failure to represent the people who got you your position on the CSM is absolute and your dismissive attitude is childish and disgraceful.

Hold that thought.

I want that warcec ! For my collection ♥

Ummm can someone correct me if im wrong but if the agressing corp removes all isk from thier corp wallet once they are "trapped" the war will end after a week due to insufficeint funds to pay for the war ?

Im pretty sure thats how it works or at least used to work and so no-one will be "trapped" in a war v dec shield unless they are complete retards.
