Truth or not, the effort at outreach is at least admirable in that it's being made. So, thank you.

He's also a repeatedly-declared Cartel loyalist, Miz. When he left the Empire, that's where he went.

If he's no longer an Angel, he's very far from made that clear.

(Moral equivalency was at least arguable, depending on the values in play. Moral superiority, explicit or implicit, seems like a harder sell.)

I'm in an alarmingly good mood, so I'm reading this as Sinjin sharing his efforts at propaganda writing with us, as a shared joke, a wink and a nod at the artistry of bullshit.

Good one, pilot.

Horde is doing a thing? Must post a thing stating my opinion on the thing...


My opinion: Don't care, I don't buy from Jita much, too far to go for the basic stuff I run 90% of the time.

Oh I'm still very, very much an Angel. Archangel, to be exact.

How that balances out with HORDE is...well, not the business of people here. But HORDE has a wide variety of pilots. Cartel operatives, Serpentis, Guristas, Bloodraiders, and multitudes of non-aligned pilots from every corner of the Galaxy are all represented

It is a horde, after all. Not a sewing circle.

I pay the other guy to move stuff to-and-fro Jita for me, with collateral to cover the possibility of loss. I'm not too concerned about this.

Woah, a service I only used to buy skill injectors just got taken down and replaced by PH. Absolutely radical, dude.

So, Mokk, I'm hearing all sorts of amusing little rumors about how your little venture's falling flat on its face. Most of the traders woouldn't use your citadel if you paid them, Karin's still dropping his own like an addict drops tabs, and you guys can't get enough butts in fleets to deal with highsec mercs. Can't even afford to SRP Hurricanes fer cryin' out loud. Guess it wasn't the ISK faucet Gobbins (and only Gobbins) imagined, huh?

I'm a first aider, Sinjin. Do you need any assistance treating that sick burn?

For the first time since I started the conversation, he looks me dead in the eye. In his gaze are steel jackhammers, quiet vengeance, a hundred thousand orbital bombs frozen in still life.

Amusing rumors.

Facts, however tell a different story. To date, our venture has been decidedly ISK-positive. Trade continues to grow. If Karin wants to keep building, we'll keep denying him assets. I bet we can produce a lot more hurricanes than he can produce citadels. HiSec mercs? Please. Ganking a few strays at the Jita undock is hardly an issue. Pro tip: If you undock or enter grid with more than five ships, they scurry. Oh...wait, you folk are still trying to figure out how the undock process works, aren't you?

Just because Mittens says something or you read it on SaltNet does not mean it's truth. I invite you to research the facts for yourself.

No, I'm quite immune to the effects of dim light bulbs. Thanks though.

I've fought those highsec "mercenaries" (mandatory "daww, that's adorable!" in that baby seal walking into a club kind of way), and I've fought alongside Horde a few times. Unless Horde is applying less than a tenth of their usual numbers, those "mercs" (no really, it's unbelievably cute) are no match in any actual engagement.

I have no trouble believing they're losing plenty of dumbarses to the usual camps, but not engagements that matter. That would take far too much change for better or worse, in both entities.

I swear, that one time I threw some change at those "mercs" to go do some work I couldn't be bothered with myself, they couldn't even do that much. Literally my worst isk investment of all time, and some of those are so bad they are legendary.

On another note, anyone else have these boards screw up posts lately?

I got a rumor. Word is that you Goons are floating some of Karin's bankroll.

Got a snarky comment on that one chica? Or we jus gonna go with you got some serious ulterior motive backing your indignation?

That's what I thought.

No ulterior motives here, Rookie, just a good network of contacts. (And frankly, if you think this is indignation, you really need your 'is Mokk being mocked?'-meter adjusted.) And no, we're not footing the bill for Karin at all.

And facts, Mokk, show the PLEX and Injector markets—the very items Gobbins was obsessed with—avoiding Horde like the veritable plague. Your FCs are whining about not being paid, and your pilots didn't exactly respond the way Gobbins wanted to when he polled them about being willing to stay.

BTW, really? A poll?

And sorry, Sinjin, my sources aren't Mittens. They're decidedly more... Hordeish.
