Cool, now lets put them both in battle procurers and have them do a 1 vs 1..... that would be fun Twisted

Ooo. Do you have the juicy details? What is the name of the alliance Tora declined to dec?


I don't remember the specifics, and can't really be bothered to check killboards from a few months ago; I think the average cost per corp hired was 300m (450m for whores in space via red dawn whatever) not that it really matters or was even the point really.

The only 'merc' group that operates in highsec I have any respect for what-so-ever is Break-a-Wish which originally started from admiration of a good name and general good posting, and developed into 'what are those fools up to this week' as many threads have cropped up from their victims (even other merc corps) and they typically refrain from engaging in pointless forum wars. Second to that would have been Narwhals back during their time, mostly because Cipreh was the chillest of bros.

I flew with Devils once upon a time, and the original crew that are still around are pretty exceptional people and decent pilots at that; Marmite is like an over-charging rehash of the 0rphanage (without the same kill volume), and everyone else from what I've seen are just meh (nothing really stands out).

Someone will invariably get mad about this post and comment about my elitist point of view, when honestly I don't care about any of your opinions or the version of the game any of you play (since I've already been there, and done that) but I still doubt this closing remark will stop someone with a lifetime kill count inferior to my last 6 months trying to tell me how to have fun and enjoy being a pretend internet spaceship pilot for hire.

Mr. Xolxe Is mostly right most of the time, but because he's blunt people take it hard.
