If you're looking for help during your wardec, here is an example of what I've done and what turned out to be a very bad idea. After making the post below, my corporation became a target for way more that I could anyhow handle, so mind your deeds and do not follow my mistake, and never post a request for help here. Or at least do it from some other account/toon.
//end of edit

Hello,

I'm looking for a merc corp to help my corporation in war we're having at the moment.

First of all, I'm NOT willing to pay UP FRONT. I got screwed a couple of times with paying a merc corp that didn't show up, so I propose a different deal. I'm willing to pay 50mil after I see that at least couple of your members have moved to our system, then I'm willing to pay 10mils for evey kill you'll get (up to 200mil), no matter if my members participated in it or you did it by yourself. Also, if there will be a surrender offer, I'm willing to give all ISK from it to you.

If you don't mind that kind of deal, here is some info on the situation.

Target corp has 6 members.

We're being camped by 3 players who are 95% of time piloting those ships: Harbinger, Apocalypse, Proteus, Phantasm. They're online mostly around 17-24 EVE time. Their killboards are not great, but not terrible as well (mostly MTU kills and ganks with couple decent actions).

One of the targets seems pretty experienced in PVP (the one piloting t3 cruiser) while the others seems medioker.

If you're interested please send me an in-game mail so we can talk about the details of targets and the deal itself.

Cheers,
Coaxil

You know, you probably should have paid us off at the start. Instead of proclaiming that you will crush us with your numbers and then have your corp be paralyzed by a single one of my boys and hemorrhage 30% of your members.

Also, no merc corp will work without being paid up front or having the money in escrow. Good luck with that.

Gl finding a merc corp that will take a contract under those conditions. Also, you may want to exercise a bit more discretion when asking for merc assistance..for reasons that may be obvious to you now. Twisted

If I had a nickel for every time someone said women don't play eve, I'd have a bag of nickels to whack the next person who said it..

Not being paid up front is unworkable, and the amount you're offering for the risk and effort involved is downright insulting.

I wrote some true EVE stories! And no, they're not of the generic "my 0.0 alliance had lots of 0.0 fleets and took a lot of 0.0 space" sort. Check them out here:

Calling your aggressors not great while loosing to them is a little bit backwards is it not.

In any event, you have opened the flood gates and maybe should have used the mercs listed in the merc channel. Never the less, you should be expecting many wars.

The Scope Project will accept the poor war orphans from this conflict

Also buddy if you wish to protect your corp learn how to defend your self get some basic skills and some pvp skills and make it mandatory for your peeps to do so to

instant basic pvp backup that might just bloody their nose enough to hurt their precious kill boards

It started out as a mining op, but got rebranded as a pvp op after you showed up to slaughter them.

It's sad, that people like some of you (not pointing fingers) are having fun of people that are just minding their own business. But it's EVE, and to be honest, it makes EVE wonderful for some reason.

I'm also delighted that there are pilots who still value kindness, who are helpfull and who take pleasure out of other activities that beating up mostly defencless people. I've received couple very helpfull mails concerning this post - thank you guys.

It was also a valuable lesson to not post anything here cause people will just exploit you.

Coaxil,
Fold your corp up and disband it, then immediately recreate it. Every time they wardec you, repeat this process. Don't post anymore about it and don't respond to any mails or convos they send you. Eventually they will get bored and go away.

This thread by the way is a prime example of why it's generally best to just use the good old fashioned methods of evading a wardec. The second you point out to mercs that you are wardecced and willing to pay for it to go away, you become a target.
