Today [7th August 2015] I logged on to try to continue the plexing effort on Ezzara.

I saw Ezzara was at ~75% and presumed all was going well but we had no fleet advert up. I entered the system to check what the situation was, it was bleak, 13 Minmatar and only me in local for the Amarr. After some chatting in the formup channels and posting a fleet we got a handful of pilots together and went to see what we could get done.

Towards the end when we were running low on ships I resorted to taking out a talwar fleet [4 man >.>, our numbers dwindled somewhat] which made me feel dirty but was effective getting us a bunch more kills. Neither side bringing logi made it so much more like old school FW where both sides suffered losses in every engagement.

2/3 hours later and easily over 100 kills later Ezzara was still ~75%. Many explosions were witnessed, a lot of amusing banter in local occured, much fun was had my all. Low kills compared to Cal/Gal warzone battles but for ours was most intense fighting I've seen over a backwater system. Good stuff.

Cheers to the Minmatar for coming back again and again keeping the morning fun and full of Pew Pew and of course cheers to all the amarr bros who came to my fleet to make it happen.

Minmatar / Amarr warzone is home to some of the best fights I've had in this game. Always good to have quality opponents.

Yeh counting all the time for the system flip it was quiet for most of it but it had a few good bursts of action like yesterday morning in the few hours leading to downtime. As I said baby cakes compared to calgal fights

Varrinox, when you were at the large in the prophecy, in Ezzara you killed the person who was the FC, so I took over, and it was the best fight I have ever been in. I am pretty new, but I was determined to hold the grid no matter the cost, and my fleet kept reshipping and coming back. I almost bailed when that neutral cane came in, but we stayed.

We just kept getting good fights all night with you and the Amarr, and I have to say, I am appreciative the content, and I am sure everyone in that fleet was too. I got lots of it on Shadowplay, but since some of the fights went on for more than 20 minutes, I didn't get it all, maybe I will edit it a bit, and put it on youtube, as a reminder for how FW should be.

Aye that was a great fight, it would have gone on longer if I hadn't ran out of cap boosters lol. Props to you for stepping up when the FC died. Omitting to such a slug fest as an FC takes balls, when the opportunity comes I enjoy those types of fights they are a rare occurrence now days.

Be sure to post the video footage here, I look foward to watching how your end was :)

My perspective on two of the fights, I just discovered how useful the tactical overlay was that night, so the first fight doesn't have me using it.

Looks like it :p I am pretty content to do my own thing though. Basically Hash and UK and a few smaller corps like mine are what is around now.
