Crime & Punishment

Sure, why not. I claim victory eventhough I fail all the time. Its all about perspective. We all die, "OP SUCCESS! You all knew this was a welp fleet.. right? Im sure I mentioned that before we left." or my personal favorite: Victory is ours!But.. all we did was safe up and hide. Exactly, we bravely guarded those safespots.. and none of them were breached on my watch.

One should never underestimate the promiscuity of a toaster. Never.

just drop and reform your corp/alliance. Wardeccs make highsec corps/alliances basically worthless...thankfully ccp seems likely to fix this soon.

You expect it to read before it gets on to it's 'king soapbox?

So Imma gonna level with you here, this advice may be harsh, if you find it that it is, I'm sorry it's just the way I talk to people.


So first off, Merc corps tend to watch each other Wars, when on Corp tends to dec and gets some good kills, Others will follow in as you've shown to be a easy target. So Losing a lot of ships is basically covering yourself in steak sauce and running into a lions den. Kill an Aggressive Wartarget is good. But Blue balling is even better. If you can keep corps from killing you at all. It's an extremely effective way to shut down any future decs.

Control is the most important part of the Wardec. If you can choice when the fights happen, you can win the war, either A. By not allowing any fights to happen, and stopping the fun.

Or B. Choice the right time to fight, Like you did with the Oruthurs, but this can be a double edge sword. As you may cause the Target you killed to Focus on you. Or B, cause them to bring in more allies.

As a Note, Pursuit of Happiness, Would not pay other merc because you happened to kill one of them. They are not like that. Give them some credit in that regard. POH are fine Mercs and pride themselves on being a "Merc Killer/ The only Merc Service who willings fights other Mercs". They are better then bring in allies. Insulting them like this would might make them focus you even more, that I can't say.

Now, coming to the forums and more less whine about all the people deccing is a VERY bad idea. The reason being, is that ALL the mercs, Advertise here in C&P and will see this. This is effectively making a FAR more larger target as you've shown to give 'tears'.

Marmite, Forsaken, Deadly (Now Absolute Defiance) PIRATE, Private Parking, and more Watch this part of the forums like eagles. So you've basically jumped into the lions den again.


To answer the your question, Yes it is allowed. You are allowed to bring in allies, as many as you wish. To fight back with. Even you don't have allies, then I'm sorry. But you're SOL. Work on getting blues. Useally if you can score a blue with another Merc, A big one, you are almost guaranteed a pass from all other Mercs. It's "Bad for Business" For merc to fight each other. You may get a big pay for it, (10+ Bill I can see some Mercs asking for Merc v Merc contracts) But you tend to lose a lot of **** on both sides, and most people in merc corps don't want that.

Now going on. The best way to handle a situation like this is privately. Talk to the Merc DIplo's. Like Xorphix and Zeus. Work out a surrender fee, or even better, future allies. Sometimes, you don't need to pay a large amount of isk to do it. If you can produce alot of ammo/ships/moduels mercs will take that as payment. Marmite has a deal to some degree with a few High-sec Alliances.

Sometimes we are nice too just drop the dec if you are polite.

But going public might damn you to further decs, and refusals to end decs even if you offer a surrender.


Hope this helps. Remember that in EVE, Friends are more important then ISK. Mainly because ISK can't shoot back.

Just to repeat what others have already said... Yes.

HTFU

Ooh. This is quite a doggy pile. Would anyone like an egg salad sandwich?

Oh, come on, they "know how to defend themselves"!!!
