Warfare & Tactics

Wait.

I am always seeing you in the thick of all the factional warfare discussions 'weighing in' and mentioning 'your fights with the Caldari and Amarr' as if you have made even an effort in this war one way or another (aside ofcourse than massive forum posts left and right and arguing with anyone willing to engage you in conversation).

Looking at your Stats on the killboards (I would link them but people really should look them up themselves for a full grasp of what I am saying). I feel obligated to ask: exactly what is your role in these grand conflicts between the empires? aside from running level fours in intaki and losing the occasional hulk. Where exactly do you fit into any of these factional warfare discussions?

Because judging by all your input into these FW threads one would be easily convinced you are a great Gallente leader fighting for your cause, leading warriors into battle and sharing blood and victory on the fields of Gallente conflict.

I mean you got the Gallente warpaint on your face the neat looking Officer shirt and the Gallente Insignia in your background not to mention that 'For the Federation" look on your face all the time please do tell us. Curious minds want to know. What exactly is your role in these conflicts?

Last time he was in FW it went something like this:

- Damar is spotted in Intaki
- Andreus rages in local
- Andreus rolls his corp to militia
- After next DT, Damar is seen camping customs office Andreus likes to use.
- Andreus removes Mixed metaphor from Gallente militia
- Andreus ragelogs until next dt.

You serious? All this Herf Derf and thats it? Say it aint so Andreus. Tell us about all the blood sweat and tears you shed for the Federation.

Well, the factual account of what actually happened is above.

Fact is, I was doing FW one and a half years before you even joined the game. My corp was responsible for recapturing the first FW system ever captured by an enemy (Odamia). We were a pretty damn competent PvP force and I used to lead roams - that's how I actually got most of my corp membership back then. Oh, I also participated heavily in the grand liberation of Gallente space from Caldari occupation in early 2010 (you know, when Damar was constantly assuring us that he didn't want those systems anyway) - but again, that was a little before your time. I'll forgive you for not knowing - most people also don't remember, for instance, that one of our closest blues, Duty., was responsible for training the vast majority of the successful corps in the early Caldari militia. Ironically, most of these selfsame corps left CalMil because they were "sick of the attitude of certain members" - wonder who that could be?

Basically, the main reason I quit FW is because I didn't want to turn EVE Online - that is, a game I pay a monthly subscription for to have fun - into a pissing contest where I was spending ten hours a day spinning buttons. Besides, there's no real need for extra people in the FW systems right now - Caldari occupancy is getting utterly roflstomped by the Gallente and to be honest that's all I care about. I get my PvP kicks from roams with blues (I've been doing a lot of those recently) and I get my ISK in a large number of ways, none of which involve orbiting a button for twenty minutes.

I am satisfied that I liberated Intaki once, and Damar has subsequently tried and failed at three major pushes to recapture it - two of which the Gallente militia themselves were certain would succeed until the very last minute. That's more than enough for me.

Oh, and on another note, I'm glad you noticed the look I'm going for. It's flattering to note a man as manly and macho as yourself still has enough of an eye for fashion to understand a motif when he sees one. Perhaps you should consider getting a navy blue dress shirt for yourself - I have one I can sell you on the cheap. Might I also recommend you switch up the lighting scheme you use on your avatar as well? I think options 1 or 2 would suit him much better.

I was willing to let it go at your previous statement and take it at face value. But since you are going to start saying things like the above I am going to start asking for API verfied killmails to back up your claims. If mixed metphor was such a decisie presence in FW please provide killmails to support this claim.

Looking at your past few months you lost a hulk and the last actual kills you got were Sansha in incursion fleets. Back it up.

Honestly Damar. If you left for the Amarr side of the war, why do you keep trolling the Calmilita?Your forum posts isn’t going to win Calmil any new members, instead is having the opposite effect. You achieved significant victories both in plexes and PVP. What the Calmil needs right now is fresh start and, the sooner the remnants of the old guard step aside the better it will be for everyone involved. Be proud of what you accomplished and move on.

Oh the irony Madbuster, oh the irony.....

"Avustaja is Damar's alt" = actual quote from your militia. So perhaps I still can, who knows. Maybe I really am Avustaja.

Among other sparkling gems from froggies such as painting PERVS as hub of multicultural cooperation with posts like "Kuolematon is comfirmed British, Unfamed II is suspected to be american". Reality of course was the we were all brooding and angry Finns

Also, as far as Matars go, it's still the same faces which i've seen in every other visit to this front. Even Erectus Matari guys attempting to harass me are the same. So not exactly noobish enviroment here either.

Why should I respect my enemies (gallente militia in this case) when they started personal attacks way back when I was just a grunt in the militia? I can be cordial to Matar since they have never accused me of pedophilia or called me something which comes from a dog's arse.

Sometimes I wish those not enrolled in the Caldari or Federation militias would refrain from commenting on the state of the war.
