Doing the POCO shuffle!

So let me get this straight...

One account = one main, two alts.

Each alt is put into a one-man corp, called "A" and "B"

Main owns a POCO in their Big Corp. Corp gets wardecced because someone wants the spot. Main transfers POCO ownership to alt's one-man corp "A"

One-man corp "A" gets wardecced. Transfers ownership to one-man corp "B". Disbands one-man corp "A", sets alt to biomass.

One-man corp "B" gets wardecced. By time wardec timer has kicked in, first toon "A" is ready to biomass. New toon "A" rolled, takes one dot of corporate, makes new one-man corp "A". Corp "B" transfers ownership to Corp "A", disbands, sets toon to biomass.

Wash, rinse, repeat as often as needed.

When enemy gets bored, frustrated, or runs out of wardec money, transfer ownership back to original main toon corp.

Conclusion: Hisec POCOs are immortal.


Or did I miss something?

As far as I know POCOs can't be transferred during a wardec.

I'm going to assume that means from when a war is declared, not when active, else everyone would be doing shuffles. Big smile

Pretty sure they can be transfered during wardec, unless they patched that out already? Dunno for sure.

This!

Can't transfer during a dec. (however I'm not sure about the 24h warning period)

How many tornados will it take to gank a POCO?

Tell me again about how every playstyle you dont engage in "doesn't require any effort" and everyone who does it needs to die in a fire. Be sure to mention about how you tried it once but it was too easy/boring/ethnic-homophobic slur.

I have been officially told this was not possible/allowed. When in doubt petition for clarification.

Recycling alts is against the EULA, so you could do the shuffle at most once: Main -> Alt 1 -> Alt 2 -> Main. If you biomassed Alt 1, you'd be stuck with Main -> Alt 2 -> Main as your only option.

Okay. Now, go back to the patchnotes and dev blog.


And READ it.


In the blog it clearly states that you cant transfer PoCo ownership under a wardec.
This means from the moment you are declared war (and thus includes the 24h warm up period).

So, your entire posts can be deleted from the point where your mains corp is decced onwards as it is not possible to do.

You are right you cannot biomass alts. But if you had enough accounts with enough alts and you can transfer ownership during the waiting period of a war dec then this might actually work Great Idea!!!! Edit: so you cant transfer it but you can war dec yourself from alt corp and keep transfering the ownership that way....would that work I dont know.....

Still if it were possible to transfer during a war dec such actions might be considered a petitionable offense. Buy honestly I think you can't transfer ownership of the POCO with a wardec.

This is correct. Since the day they came in, you haven't been able to transfer while under wardec or during the 24 hour period.
