Would someone be so kind as to show me where I can unsubscribe from this coalition I'm supposedly a part of? The way I remember it, both myself and Yuller turned down Vegas' offer to join his little pow wow.

We're shooting at Marmite because they are bad (except Freight Club, who are amazing!) and we like to **** in other people's (especially mercs') Cheerios. Not because Vegas paid us. Not because he made some magical back room deal with us. Not because he lovingly caressed us while in a raccoon suit, but because it's both fun and funny.

With that said, I fully accept that a group like Marmite (or Whores) have a place in the merc community. The fact is these giant alliances are better positioned to kill lots of ISK in haulers and freighters from null-sec entities, since they primarily camp trade hubs and major pipes. These activities are boring as hell and require very little skill, which is why groups like mine don't engage in them. We like hunting and actual fights, which is why it's no surprise we kill a lot of Marmite while losing nothing.

Marmite has a different purpose than us and a very different skill set, which is why both groups get merc work. If you want to shut down hubs/trade routes, hire Marmite or Whores. If you need someone hunted down and routed, or need a PVP/merc group pounded, hire a group like BAW or Pendulum.

Either way, it's doubtful Marmite will fold any time soon. Personally, I'm bored of Marmite running/docking every time we enter system or come near them with a fleet. It's gotten to the point where we have to bait them with mining ships to get them to aggress. Even if they did fold, they would either merge with Whores or create a new giant alliance which I hereby dub, Orphanage 3.0.

Anyways, we're dropping the war and it'll be time to shoot Whores again!

One would think, 10 years after EVE was launched that most nullsec entities wouldn't use in corp/alliance freighters/jumpfreighters.

Bads gonna bad I guess.

Confirming we had a lot of good fights with RvB and EVE UNI. That's because good fights are often pretty even fights. Merc vs Merc is boring as hell. There is always one group outnumbered. I think we had 2 good fights so far with UMAD and Devils. We lost both, but it was fun as hell..... Lol

Since we got on the subject of eve-kill and links and all that. I have interesting news from the department of numbers and algebra. VegasQueen, I hope you're sitting down. Get tissues ready.

Eve-Kill generated the following data for August thus far. Here is the value of kills for every high sec pvp alliance currently war deccing Marmite:

Devil's Warrior Alliance 27.51 B
Serious Space Holding Alliance 38.93 B (better known as AceGunnery Jita Alliance)
Game of Tears 29.71 B
Mentally Assured Destruction 36.89 B
Pendulum of Doom 22.31 B
Break A Wish Foundation 19.24 B

TOTAL: 174.59 B

The Fail Cascading Marmite Alliance: 321.86 B

I have nothing clever to add. Consider yourself forum crushed.

Oddly, this sounds exactly like the same tactics I use in nullsec in other peoples SOV, I rarely sit still or camp and minimize the time I do, often when I kill something the first thing I do is make sure I'm aligned ready for warp out, even if I see nothing on dscan and moving around a lot keeps any intel being run on me from being overly effective.

So, if I bare this in mind I could liken a lot of highsec gangs to dullbear HD fleets and can honestly say I actually think with your comment right there you are in the wrong corp for your knowledge base.

Just saying....

4 Week Progress Report

Since many of you Marmites (and forum trolls) seem incapable of reading comprehension and only repetitive delusional "if I say so, then it's true" type arguments; I offer this easy to follow pictorial of Marmite's 4 week failscade...

Where to begin... perhaps at the beginning when this thread had 1/2 the pages and 10% of the views.

Image 1 - The Forum Record for the fastest growing player generated thread I've ever seen in the new Eve Online Forums with the most replies, views and likes in the shortest period of time (4 weeks). http://i.imgur.com/GWIsKAE.jpg

Note: I literally received 1/3 of the total likes given in the thread (inb4 its all my alts I have screen shots it's real players)

Image 2 - This is what I log into every few hours since fighting Marmite, so content is being generated http://i.imgur.com/KWwQWSm.jpg

Image 3 to 5 - Marmite Before , During & Present Alliance Member Numbers

Arrow Before http://i.imgur.com/kVJV1q9.jpg

Arrow During http://i.imgur.com/MVDtWmv.jpg

Arrow Last Week http://i.imgur.com/y5zt0ho.jpg

Note: I've cross-checked their listed members using Eve Who and Eve Kill and found MOST of their players are inactive to not even subbed. Some of them haven't played since 2009. Typical of a Smoke & Mirror operation. You can check this yourself.

Note: What's also interesting to me is the number of corps increases while the member count decreases (perhaps from Tora's attempt to show growth using alt corps, mainly because no new corps want to join).

Image 6 - http://i.imgur.com/2TxqHHD.jpg Marmite would have a really really low efficiency if it wasn't for Freight Club and Suicide Therapy, which we haven't focused on... yet.

Note: Everybody knows Freight Club and Suicide Therapy could care less whether Marmite close doors tomorrow or not. They don't even talk to Tora have rarely, if ever and NEVER fleeted with them since our war dec. Marmite are being used for the free wars.

Many "key" members who've been with Tora since Counting With Teddy (fail) days have left. Most of them have sent me emails confirming they appreciate the light shed on how bad Marmite have been.

And finally, for the trolls who don't understand what's really going on...

So Marmite is unable to operate, is failing, and can't camp any of the areas you claim to have taken over, but has double the isk killed than all of you combined for this month? That must be a massive kick to the balls.

Devil's Warrior Alliance 27.51 B <-Niarja Campers
Serious Space Holding Alliance 38.93 B <-- Jita Campers
Game of Tears 29.71 B <-Elite PvP
Mentally Assured Destruction 36.89 B <-Elite PvP
Pendulum of Doom 22.31 B <- Elite PvP
Break A Wish Foundation 19.24 B <- Elite PvP

TOTAL: 174.59 B

The destroyed Marmite Alliance that can no longer camp anything: 321.86 B


Oh yeah, Devil's Warriors Alliance. I forgot, the guys with 8.5% of Marmite's kills this month. Surely, they are the people you want to hire to do maximum isk damage.

Are you not entertained? Because I am entertained.

why read your post when (1) you have nothing to do with what's going on, (2) your thoughts are malformed and (3) your posts are too full of teen angst... angsty teen style write ups and long tired posts based on delusional "if I say it enough times, maybe they'll listen"

A heads up and quick lesson in stat reading, we and most of all the guys you posted about are merc killers not indy hunters. So, the ships we kill have guns and a point on them and have the ability to fight back. Also WITHOUT the freighter ganking padding corps you would have only destroyed 146.54B

I have you now don't I Vegas. The Queen of malformed angst posts. Listen, why don't you "block" me again. I remember the last time you did that. I will be here slapping you around on the forums with minimum effort.

I promised it would not be long when we would start hearing excuses "oh these kills don't count and those kills don't count."

Oh.. I'm entertained

They hire us to fight other mercs, something I've been told from many of Marmite clients that ask for help because Marmite wont help.. despite they are paying for their "protection" (Dont think they count as happy/returning customers?)
Maybe we offer another kind of service than Marmite?

And..
If you look at Marmite's kb.. all the wars from the other mercs have an effect.. just look;
July - http://p0wnd.nl/kb/index.php/alliance_detail/1/violent_systems/2013/7/
August - http://p0wnd.nl/kb/index.php/alliance_detail/1/violent_systems/2013/8/

Seems like their most violent systems have changed abit.. does it not?
Oh.. amount of kills too!

PS; I would suggest Marmite putting up a campaign on their killboard with the wars against the other mercs.

Am I the only one, who doesn't really care much about all these replies, screen shot, stats, **** comparing ? So much bla bla bla. If you all would put so much effort in playing EVE, you would have a hell of a time. Only reason I need to care about eff., is cuz that's what clients look at when they want to hire you for the first time. And so far its 90%.....more then enough for me.

@Lord, of course there will be unhappy clients. Don't tell me you never had them. I also get unhappy clients disappointed in the performance of the elite pro mercs in this post. Had 2 already this week. And I know these mercs are skilled, but you also need the numbers sometimes and be in the right TZ, to make clients happy. That's why we all have different clients probably.

We killed 324B in ships so far this month......nice....lets move on. What is more fun, is killing 2 freighters and almost had 2 more while Vegas and his crew tried to pop me a few hours ago in Urlen Twisted. Or the payback of Game of Tears..... 3B killed.

Enough stats...back to fun levels....Blink

This is one of the reasons Devils in war with Marmite, your killboard is mostly just for show.
And with you admitting it.. great!
"cuz that's what clients look at when they want to hire you for the first time"

But, do like the other mercs do, please put up campaigns that look bad as well, its only reflecting the facts.
Or is your "Image" that important to you?

And yes.. we have contracts we cant fullfill aswell, but I usually refund them if I feel like we did not do our job.
That keeps my employers happy and returning.

Saying a Merc alliance like Marmite is about going after other mercs is like saying that my project is about stealing goons sov.
Marmite and whores is about interrupting trade routes, that's what they get paid for.
Small entities like you, BAW, and WEPOD is about hunting guys, and murdering them.

I could not agree more, the only thing is that Marmite was offering protection deals.
Its not the hubdenial/traderoutes that is the problem
But having carebears pay them iskies each month and dont do anything when their clients are dec'd by pvp's (mercs or griefers) is false advertisement in my opinion.
I'm sure they have done other contracts way out of their normal operations (hubdenial, traderoutes), that they cant deliver.

Realization: Marmite does not have campaigns against any of these elite pvpers or VegasQueen. They have campaigns against Marmite. They think this is the same thing. It is not. This is very hard for them to understand due to the limited brain bandwidth or processing ability.

They also have absolutely no plan for 'beating' Marmite besides coming to the forums to cry and chest beat.

Marmite is not a merc hunting alliance. They are an interdiction alliance. They only lose isk and time by fighting people nobody is paying them to kill. Their losses are irrelevant because they make more isk, as is obvious from their killboard, than the scrublord coalition put together against them. The rest of these alliances/corps don't even compare in kill value.

There you said it.. Marmite is a interdiction alliance.. If this is so why do post all these amount killed in isk statistics? There again you point to their killboard... If i sat in Jita all day and dec'd every corp in eve i'm pretty sure my little alliance could match those isk stats with no problem... It doesn't take skill to sit in the trade hubs pounding your chest.. As far as shutting Marmite down i could care less.. We've already proven you are nothing to worry about nor have the skill set to even compete with us...
Keep pounding those isk stats out while sitting in a trade hub and saying how much better you are than the other mercs combined..
