I'd like to thank all of the TLF pilots who helped make Isbrabata the most dangerous system for Amarr pilots and the most violent system in EVE yesterday. I'd like to extend a special thanks to LNA, who despite our differences, flew alongside U'K and bled the Amarr, halting their offensive cold.

Amarr fleets have destroyed UK at every turn. We continued to do so yesterday. Even when UK pets LNA tried to trick us we took light losses for the size of the battle. I find it funny that the once all powerful Late Night alliance has had to turn to a hated enemy to even undock.


For those that did not have the pleasure of being on the field of battle in the medium complex let me tell you it was a thing of beauty. Over ten minutes of combat, UK and friends reshipping in system coming back over and over. Amarr out numbered from the start and out shipped fighting for our lives and the empire. When the last enemy was killed or driven off field more that thirty enemy ships were dead. Amarr took no losses.

Let me reiterate that. Outnumbered. Outshipped. No losses. Amarr Victor.

Always being outnumbered seems a common theme with you Almity. Why you could have a whole legion behind you, yet you are still outnumbered. ..

Even if I knew who you were I would not care to hear your opinion.

Almity, check your combat log to see where you were at 05:08 this morning. Combat logs faulty? Let me refresh your memory. You were in Isbrabata. In a pod. Amidst the wreckage of your Rupture. Amongst the remaining debris of what was previously your fleet. Overwatched by the combined might of the TLF.

If you would read my post I spoke of two engagements. The first, before you allied yourself with LNA was an embarrassment for you and your TLF friends. How does it feel knowing you had to call on a group you are at war with to save your home system? Was that hard for you? Not long ago UK called LNA traitors to the minmatar cause.

I would say being able to reconcile differences in order to defeat a common enemy shows strength, not weakness or cowardice.

So making fun of U'K and LNA for teaming up to take you lot down doesn't really make sense. This is a war, not an Honour Duel. If you want truly fair fights with even numbers you can check out the various gladiatorial competitions being ran.

I am also a human, straggling between the present world... and our future. I am a regulator, a coordinator, one who is meant to guide the way.

I would agree with you in times of peace, Captain Jormagdnir. But, in times of war, you need to prove your strength. If you lack it, and depend on others', then you might as well be considered secondary in the war, and don't have the right to show your feathers here as if you had just been victorious.

And an alliance of need such as this is not only prone to breaking once the need is gone, but also shows a moral flexibility that weakens any cause.

And does this tenet not apply just as much to the Minmatar militia as a whole as it does to its individual constituents, Sepherim? Apart, Ushra'Khan and LNA might not have had the strength to crush the Amarrian trespassers. Fighting together - like I've been telling them they should for the past week now - they proved the strength of the militia and repelled an illegitimate occupation of their space.
