While I respect your stance and sticking to your guns you just handed BIO a fantastic profile raising recruitment tool in this post.

Be measured, enact destruction and when the world burns allow those that lie in ruins to pass your message on. Shouting from the rooftops with barely any kills is a mugs game.



This war isn't about kills, it's about education and content denial.

Anyone who joins WINMATAR will instantly see 5 war decs against them - even casual research following from that will show 4 of them are from Minmatar Militia groups that have a proven track record. They may even see this thread. All of this helps potential WINMATAR recruits or new recruits to think twice about 'drinking the kool aid'. If people see all of that but choose to stay with them then fair do's but they know where they stand. Obviously it's hard to measure how successful this is being but we are obligated to try.

Content denial is in the form of WINMATAR not being able to participate in what the main militia is doing, where it is making a system push, an I hub bash whatever. Op success in this one certainly.

On the issue of kills fighting is happening - Maximus is simply being careful to use agents who are not on the war dec so we cannot show kills. Max thought it would be funny to get some null sec guys to try and halt the hub bash last night - it didn't work but this is the sort of none sense we were worried about WINMATAR pulling. It is helpful to be proven right in our actions simply check the kill boards for Virmini (whatever it's called) and the NC guys killed and killing us etc were working for Max Decimal.

With regards to propaganda for recruiting - yes this policy is a risk, but then Winmatar are normally pretty proficient with their recruitment and propaganda. So having our view strongly pushed is necessary.

I fail to see how this makes a practical difference Mystical - you shoot us anyway...

If true I suppose you are confirming that Winmatars declaration that they would not be taking aggressive action against the militia as false then? :)

Shhhhhh - do it for the narrative.
Aslon doesn't seem to mind. Says he's having an absolute ball of a time and doesn't mind anyone else getting involved. I'm assuming any "declarations" that they would "not be taking aggressive actions" against you guys only refers to them hitting your assets. They're too small to do that anyway.

Did they clarify what they meant?

No idea - we don't believe them anyway. As I said a couple of posts ago they have already tried using some NC guys on us *shrugs*.

Apologies for breaking narrative - *ahem*....

Policy Statement and Operational Strategy For WINMATAR.

WINMATAR. will continue to hold open militia fleets throughout the duration of these and any subsequent wardecs. We will be providing free fitted frigates and destroyers to any pilots who request them.

We will be pursuing an offensive campaign against any Minmatar militia alliances or corporations that officially affiliate themselves alongside the currently agressing entities. Members of these identities are will be considered hostile at all times.

WINMATAR. will be instigating but not limiting ourselves to skirmish and opportunistic engagements against militia alliances or corporations involved in a wardec with us.

We will be focusing on objectives such as huntilng and eliminating any legitimate targets we decide on. Engagements with Minmatar militia members will be judged on situational merrit.

WINMATAR. will not disband.
Biohazard. will not close.

[Updated: 20/4]


In a panic at this announcement I checked Winmatars EvE Who activity rating "Probably Active"...

Fight the militia (either yourselves or batphone our enemies/neutrals) and we win - you demonstrate that we were right to take pre-emptive action

Don't fight and find yourself locked out of a significant portion of the Minmatar Militia community - we win

Negotiate and agree to our terms and we both win - we make decent members of the community out of you (hopefully) and swell our numbers

Leave and we win - your attempted return to Minnie FW has been stopped (likewise for going inactive)

Your choice.

you contradict yourself and also make some jokes while at it:

- a reasonable position does not include wardecs right off the bat.
- you do not own the club and therefore have no right to dictate who joins it.

this attitude won't do any good. that much is certain.

We do not own the club it is true but between GOD5, HPLT and UK we provide the majority of active pilots to major militia operations, the majority of logistical support for moving ships deep into the Warzone, the majority of FC's, the majority of activity for the militia (kills) and the majority of high skill point/veteran pilots with ISK to burn on shiney things to help militia ops. You will be lucky to find a hub bash whose membership is less than 75%% made up of pilots from these groups. If the militia groups who have officially stayed out of this want to pick and choose who to have in fleet then they can but I wouldn't hold your breath.

Our position is reasonable to even give them terms to fly with us at all; the last time WINMATAR were in militia they AWOXed smaller groups because they assumed they were too big to stop. They refused all attempts at diplomatic resolution to the issues back then and no less than 14 militia groups declared war on them. That is what I call an Epic diplomacy fail carried out by utterly unreasonable people. Then they threw their lot in with Amarr militia and generally were obnoxious and unpleasant which is not a pre-requisite for being in Amarr Militia - there are plenty of Amarr who I actually get along fine with as players by the way.

Now they want to return to the militia, after they have alienated some of the Amarr even. With a narrative designed to provoke the Minnie militia (returning heros of the civil war and the Amarr Militia!), without attempts at courtesy such as contacting militia diplos to try and normalise relations. Without any apology or acknowledgement that they were wrong in their choices. Our three groups (plus REPUBLIC and Scrapheap Mojo I presume) are in no mood to deal with WINMATAR and Biohazard of the old days. We need convincing that the leadership behind these entities have changed, unfortunately they are demonstrating that they still have the same attitude that caused our response to their return. If they have indeed got the same attitude then we will gladly remain at war in order to discourage new militia guys becoming tarnished with their attitude.

Liafcipee9000 I assume you see a side to Aslon and Maximus that the rest of us do not, this 'war' is not aimed at you, you have seemed a reasonable guy when I have flown with you in the past. If you think that those guys deserve a place of respect in the Minmatar Militia then they need to show that they have changed and you need to step up to build bridges. So far we are vindicated in our actions.

Agha is a passionate guy : D

If you are referring to the ex Minnie guys in The Periphery my personal view is one of disappointment. When I was an ickle Minnie Militia new bro pilots like Annah Kitheran, Suun, Queen Denaerys (Agha as well obviously) etc were my hero's. There I was not knowing how to D-scan or what gate mechanics were, in my T1 badly fitted slasher thinking WOW!!!! whilst being in one of Annahs fleets brawling it out against pirates in a battleship composition, the Pirates drop a Moros on field and we kill it etc.

To get shot by those same guys has advanced my 'bitter vet' scale significantly. I can understand why some people feel badly about the situation.

Take myself for example Nameira; I shoot anyone and everyone, no matter what their prior standings to me were. Once you lose the standings, there's no reason not to shoot each other, right?

There were ~reasons~ surrounding the discontinuation of blue standings between yourselves and Periphery, which you can always discuss with us elsewhere. To expect anything other than hostility from a neutral entity is interesting. Blue standings never last forever, so I suppose it's a lesson that everyone will learn at some point. Just think of people as content and you'll have no problems turning them into pods (or turning those into dust with the smartbomb wisdom )))) ).

The Periphery is always recruiting if you want to fly with the old guard again. Budding talent isn't stamped out, so we'd have no problems helping you with your FCing and the like.

This is the problem right here. You belive that WMTR wants to slot into your predefined notion of what is decent, adhere to your outdated ruleset and become another cog in your machine. WMTR has never, and will never bend the knee to some half-bit, self entitled militia overlords. It is very naive to think that you can achieve this through force, or at all.

Never A Pet


A militia is a community that fights side by side, with respect for every corp or alliance, every TLF new bro or soloist, every militia corp that has drifted off into inactivity but for a few members. All have the respect of their peers as they fight a common enemy in a way they choose with a level of integration they are comfortable with. Just like you cannot take Null sov (currently) without vast numbers and a capital wing you cannot play FW effectively if you don't want to co-exist with your community. You lack this respect for your fellow militia.

Perhaps if you did not see FW in terms of pets and overlords you would not be in this predicament. Is that what you thought the loyalist Minnie's were in the civil war? Pets? How did that go for you? Let us know if you change your outlook.

Well,
Dear Max, no one here is pretending to be overlord of anything, just saying again and again you will not be welcome in our coalition operations and Teamspeak. That is a stuff for trusted people that are joining to achieve common goals and have fun together.

You will be welcome to come into our arms for big hugs if the political request we made is accomplished.


Dear Mystical,
I admit i raged and the 'puppet thingy' was a hard provocation, but it's a long story and I don't know if people have enough popcorn right now.

In a nutshell
i respect you as a player anger to kill anything and anyone, our gameplay attitude is completely different, maybe one day i'll stop to put all my efforts in the militia and i'll do something else just like you do (hard because i suck at pvp, especially 1v1).
About periphery, i was not expecting favors or blue or help, i just asked from the very first moment to not interfere with the FW or to give fair fights (yeah, me stupid, me non capire).
Well, all i found was annah and his fellas camping and kitaing at the plexes acc gate while we were capping bosboger after the amarr victory (jesus, did i say that?) (shame on me).
From that moment the escalation to more rage and anger has mounted and I failed any attempt to activate diplo contacts.

Max and Aslon,

You revealed yourself from the very beginning getting help by highsec griefers (i lol at that), ex amarr noobkillers and dropping relations with nullsec corp like NC. and DT.



so is blaming DT something you do when you lose or just something you do when you think you might lose




To close,

WINMATAR tried to offer mutual T5 farming rights to DNG in exchange for us letting them farm at T5 also so we can all make isk. Pretty hilarious that Aslon thinks he's in any kind of position to be offering that sort of thing.
It also reminds me of my friend Stalking Mantis, R I P

Oldguard minmatar are probably gonna get their **** pushed in anyway.

This whole thing is pretty sad.

Good luck to both sides but you're both too spastic to make the thing interesting at this point


btw did half a dozen periphery guys seriously make you guys call off the gulm assault? xaxxaxaxaxaxaxaxaxa

Good to see WINMATAR back home. Minnies need help. Whether their intentions are honorable or not, who cares. Let's face it, Gal Mil and lowsec pirates are the only reason the Minmatar are even alive. The minnie bitter vets need to get over the past. Hell half of them weren't even in the militia when all that **** happened. They are literally bitter for no reason.
