"All of this has happened before,
It will happen again."

But fear not, redemption (through an appropriately funded merc contract) awaits those who can reform their ways.

In truth, a complete reading of my tasty blog would save many from such butthurts... Yes spacefriends, I am just that humble and magnanimous, doing CCP's job for them, long before 'new player experience' (SoonTM) was a thing.

Did I mention I am also handsome?

You Black Legion fellas are some of the top tier players in the game, I have mad respect for your tact and demeanor as a group. Plus Black Legion is brutally efficient in battle most of the time. I aspire to some day be of that tactical quality.

Quick suggestion for you.

Next time you're at war with someone, look up who else they're at war with. Then contact the CEOs/Executors of those entities and discuss possibilities in game. This is far more likely to net you cooperation and help without ringing the dinner bell in C&P.

Generally, merc groups aren't willing to just randomly jump in and help you for free. At least with BAW (my alliance), we're always interested in killing our targets and are generally willing to work with randoms to accomplish this - especially if they're willing to bait for us.

tl;dr Don't whine about your problems on the forums unless you're willing to pay well to resolve them. Talk to people (in a reasonable tone) in game and arrange to have your enemies space-murdered. It's much more effective.

Confirming at least that Feyd has an amazingly sultry voice over comms, plus his golden path has led me to revel in the joys of the pee versus pee. I learned stuff and people died because of it. That is awesome.
Longbow, Doctor Longbow that is... this intense shitstorm that has happened in the wake of your initial post is a direct result of two things, the first of which I covered in my earlier post and I'm fully aware that you understand. The second reason is tied closely to the first and that is the disrespect of mercenaries you held when you first posted. There is a fine line between pirate and mercenary, I'll be the first to admit that... However, upon being contracted a mercenary organization suddenly finds themselves bound by the terms of said contract to behave in the manner desired by their client. This is just base professionalism. Sure, we like to pew for fun and profit, but once there's a job laid out that is what's important. Had you courteously sought the services of one of the several reputable merc alliances and corps out there things might have gone differently. I'm not ragging on you here, to be clear, just trying to shed some light.
As I stated before, I honestly hope you do have fun in the next couple weeks. Rally your boys and put up the good fight. In a target rich environment you're bound to suffer losses, but don't despair... every loss is an opportunity to learn to get better. Every win is triumph well earned, savor them. I doubt we'll be crossing swords in the big black, but if we do I hope we can part with a 'GF' and enjoy the experience.

Come hell or high water, this sick world will know I was here.

I'm super happy you posted here Mr. Longbow. Makes my giggle spot tickle.

We aren't even a Hi-sec merc corp. We are a low-sec pvp corp. Just so happens that some of our alts have decent sec status.

Hello,

If you are the diplo for your corp I would like to discus a possible nonagression pact with your corp. We as a corp have no interest in combat with caldari malitia members at this time. I look forward to hearing from somebody within your corp about this matter. Hopefully we can avoid future hostilities between us. Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,

Dr Longbow

I find this entire thread highly amusing considering that you war-decced my alliance because you lost your ship, which was neutral to my alliance, then threatened to pursue combat with people in my alliance if I didn't comply to giving blues to your corporation. You try strong-arming people yourself, yet when it happens to you it results in a forum post?

Diplomacy
From: Dr Longbow

To: Chichou Odori, Xeron Vann,

Hello,

I realize that normally you don't go to war with someone when you want to be on good terms. I'm sending this mail in regards to an incident where I did not agress and simply tried to avoid a large calmil fleet. I miss the militia and have no interest in hostilities with calmil as a whole in any way. I would like to resolve this issue before I begin to select targets from your organizations. As I would prefer to support calmil as a neutral entity. Galmil on the other hand can go bugger off and we will do anything to make things more difficult for them in caldari space with or without your organizations consent.

Furthermore, I understand that this may seem like a joke to an organization such as your own. Especially coming from someone with my background and pvp record. My main goal is to usher in diplomacy between our organizations in efforts of achieving a similar goal. I would like to discuss a surrender of this current war on our behalf and I would like to gain mutual blue standings so that we can work together as a coalition. I am willing to grant 48 hours for you to reply and will be sending the same message to the other calmil alliance we are currently at war with. However, after the 48 hours is up I will begin to pursue combat with specific targets within the two organizations. I would much rather see these individuals fighting with the Gallente militia because it is beneficial to the state. I look forward to your reply, and thank you for your time.

Regards,

Dr Longbow

To be honest, the OP sounds kind of fun, in a raging megalomaniac sort of way. I'd consider helping him out, if he didn't insult my profession like that.

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:

Im sure he would have got plenty of help had he been little more humble and chosen words better.

My corp will accept a one time payment of 200m to help you fight off these immoral agressors. Send me 100m and an ally offer if interested. I will accept and then expect the other 100m.

For the record, BAW happily worked with Dr Longbow to ensure that a certain Viking experienced an explosion.

But you're also a highsec scrub alliance. The individual involved there was in fact camping jita when he got exploded.
