Intergalactic Summit

To put this little tea-pot drama in context, and to clarify why GMVA went public with our decision to terminate the NAP with EVE-UNI, there is a public record posted over on my galnet accounts and elsewhere, of Eve University pilots acting in bad faith and provoking aggression against Gallente Militia pilots, including many inside of GMVA.

Numerous GMVA and Gallente Militia pilots can testify to this record, and these events have been ongoing for the past 3 months or more, even before official Eve-uni operations began in the Placid region.

These provocations led to GMVA to seek a positive and amicable settlement and NAP agreement between the two parties.

Eve University, with their public statements and unprofessional fleet behavior, and their public announcement to conduct a campaign of piracy against Gallente Militia pilots, has given us cause to terminate this agreement.

That's all there is to it, really. We will not stand idly by while Eve University attacks our brothers in arms under a false flag of truce.

You can not set standings with the Federal Defense Union. Nor can the Federal Defense Union set standings with Eve University.

I do not speak for the four thousand or so pilots inside that corporation, but I would deem any NBSI policy a direct threat to my survival under such circumstances.

That is what I speak of here.

I changed my mind. When are Villore Accords active deployment hours?

This, ladies and gentlemen, is how you make statements on behalf of your group and cast your reputation as a fearless leader in stone. I'm in awe, Msr. Soter.
I'm that much in awe, I beseech E-UNI to grant this wish for positive standings, so that this hero of the federation can catch a decent night's sleep again.

This thread reminds me of little children bickering back and forth.

If you have an issue, load weapons and engage the targets. Destroy the enemy before it can destroy you.

Then these new recruits will learn the lesson that where neutral capsuleers are concerned it's often a more prudent choice to shoot first and ask questions later, because more likely than not if they're in low-sec they're not there to have a vacation and offer you a friendly drink. To trust no one except those who have proved their loyalty while keeping your safeties off at all times seems a far better lesson learned than the example of public mewling you have managed to set.

But shooting them first does protect them from said pirate attacks. It also has the added bonus of teaching Eve University students not to pick on big bad cruiser fleets in tiny frigate blobs. Just think of it as educating the youth of the cluster.

Boom. Well there's their biggest mistake right there.

To share, or advocate, such a naive viewpoint doesn't speak highly of you or your pilots sir.

And you may well throw in the State Protectorate, and even Matari milita's into your statement there, but the fact remains it's you lot who're the only ones making an IGS thread complaining and whining about the situation. This only reinforces my first point.

I think you're in the wrong career Mr Soter.

You do however have lovely cheek bones and a prominent chin that a holocam would love. Every considered modelling?

Being a bit full of ourselves today, eh, mocking you is hardly 'Pro-Caldari-Propaganda'. I couldn't create better propaganda for our case half as good as you manage on your own.
Regarding the matter at hand: It is hardly news for everyone who's out there. We've had stand-ins with them the moment we've moved up into Essence, so your information seems to be oldish. Also people lingering around military installations are hardly tourists, especially if they appear in force.

I would like to propose a draft of a suggestion, based on the Red vs Blue Alliance model.

Being that the EvE University wishes to train it's capsuleers in the art of fighting against other capsuleers in low-security space, specifically a known warzone between both Federation and State forces, that the most politically neutral method of doing this is as follows:

That EvE University, or more specifically, the Ivy League, create two new identical holding companies within their structure expressly for the duration of this event. Each of these new corporations shall then enlist these training companies on opposing sides of the conflict - in this case, the Federal Defense Union and the State Protectorate, respectively. An equal number of training pilots and instructors shall then been assigned to each company for their training.

Thus the pilots can receive their combat experience & training within already existing Rules of Engagements structures as established by CONCORD. Said ROEs are already well known & public knowledge, thereby eliminating any possibility of miscommunications of intent or purpose. Furthermore, this isolates those capsullers undergoing this training process from the rest of EvE University, so as to avoid making the entire organization a target in retaliation.
