yes i agree the only relevant point in this whole thread is #5Lol


You almost gave me a sad there.

Here's the thing. I may be one of the few DWA guys left who still occasionally flips missions.
As a result you'll find that on any casual inspection that my favored target is MTU's by a vast margin.
It's true.
The fastest way to a pve battleship pilot's frozen corpse is their MTU.
Truth is I hate shooting the damned things.
I feel dirty doing so, because to me it's a fake kill.
However, if I really really cared about my killboard I'd be dry humping these things every day in hopes of getting another Raven or Maelstrom or ANY marauder(omgomgomg) to pull the trigger on my ishkur.

Shooting noobies in the face?
Not the same.
It's work.
Someone paid for harm to be done, so harm shall be done.
If we can recruit some out of the wreckage to join us, be it for revenge upon us or to learn to do harm to others, then that's a WIN.

Not overly concerned about the judgement of others when it comes down to this.
A merc who wont try to kill the targets he's been paid to is a pretty lousy merc.
I understand that there are those who feel differently.
That really doesn't factor into my decision making however.

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

Our current CEO distinguished himself within a month or so of joining us by going on a frankly impressive spree of bear murdering, despite actually being only a few months old at the time. I have a great deal of respect for him, as being old and cranky it's really hard work to try and keep up with the young and motivated.


You just convinced me, that the story might be true.
Young and motivated and only able to kill a lot of hamsters instead hunting for lions.

Good lord, what have I created??

If I could lock this thread I would. The GMs aren't going to reveal what action they take if any, so there's nothing else to discuss.

you could have done so (and should have) reported it with the little flag on the top left once the gm confirmed an investigation.
now if you feel this witch hunt has gone on long enough you should do so now.

Yes, lets blame the newbies for being newbies and kick them while they're still fresh and young. Terrible.

Edit: this matter is now under GM investigation. Move along, nothing to see.


Yesterday a new alt of mine parked in a noob system received a recruitment mail from a corp purporting to be looking for new players, which suggested the 0.0% tax rate as an incentive to join.

Their recruitment spiel set my alarm bells ringing and failed to mention that they were under wardec, so I checked them on Zkillboard:

Destroyed: 8
Lost: 518
Efficiency: 1.5%

A good 50% or so of their losses are noob T1 ships in highsec, and all of the pilots I checked were created in July.

This corp is only 5 months old, and yet it has 8 completed wars and 3 active wars. It looks to me as if this corp has been created entirely as a trap for new players so that wardeccers can get easy kills.

Is CCP ok with this?


A lot of people start the corp, wanting to create a massive army of newbies, and then real life hits, CEO leaves and the corp is without any leadership. Newbies do not know what wardec is, but they WANT to be loyal to the corp, so they stay, undock, then undock less... I've seen too many corporations like that, usually having less that 100 members, all the same age, not logging in anymore.

I don't believe wardeccers would be so lowlife that they would literally groom newbies for deaths, it's more like corpmates have been warned about wardec and they've decided to not read the mails because AFK mining is where the fun is.

Btw we recruit newbies too, during the wardec too, we usually mention it during the interview (and obviously it doesn't matter, as we live in null anyway)
