Crime & Punishment

Wednesday 17th at 20:00 Eve time Our Home ,
The Fortizar “ Event Horizon “ in Romi,
hit its structure timer.
P I R A T endeavourd to murder it and we murdered them right back.

Now, i have a couple of reasons for posting this here,

I feel it necessary to publicise how this has come to be. (e.i. Talk smack and point fingers)
Use this as an opportunity to comment about the state of play. (Soliloquise bitterly about our small part of eve)

Yes ,
We have a Massive punching bag in space,
It's been there for ages,
It's always been vulnerable right in between EU and US prime time
and yes ,
We fully expected it to burn sooner or later,

But I'll be Damned if it’s those Hubhumping Degenerates that take it from us.


Now , onto the finger pointing and name calling.

Devil’s and Vendetta have ,for years now, been Blue with one another.
This was our only non contractual blue
and was based off of mutual respect for,
the work we did,
our ability to do it,
how we conducted ourselves both as players and as businesses,
and goes back further than i've even been playing.
This ends today.
For a couple of reasons,

First and Foremost

Their Word and Blue is Worthless

In particular : trying to focus on disbanding a blue

We had a scrap with P I R A T a while back,
they won ,
we lost some stuff,
we left them be.

That's wasn't enough for them, they came for our Home.

If that's not a clear and explicit demonstration of the same motivation,
The exact same motivation Vendetta used to justify jumping on Marmite,
then i do not know what is.

The transparent hypocrisy of Vendetta stating that they will not stand for
Marmite trying to focus on disbanding a blue
While
P I R A T focus on disbanding a blue they have had a longer standing agreement with by several years is frankly Damning .


Second ,
They have lost our respect on all counts.
They are synonymous with the sort of hub humping station gamey neutral logi warspam wankery
that ensures none of us are taken seriously by the rest of the community
and the exact type of bullshite ive been vocally against since forever .

Raz posted his concerns here months ago about the direction our little industry was headed
and vendetta in my eyes have come to exemplify those concerns.
Now i know full well there are some in the alliance that this is unfair to level at and for that i apologize.

In our little part of eve,
we are only worth as much as our word ,
For us anyway, theirs has none.

*you're

WAIT


Am I back in the merc drama again?!


Also 8/5 to natural for totally a making logically, bold and well thought out points to deliver a statement on VMG's behalf that they are iiiiinnnn fact, hood rats.

yeah we let him out of the cage for the evening.

Hey bud

Iv been in-active for around 6 months

But when i found out on sunday our fort was going to die i could not bring myself to do nothing against Pirat.

Me and Mortlake fighting together in SCA. again was also very cool

Ralph demonstrates time and time again that his mouth cannot be controlled.

Really sad that I had to be sleeping when this happened, but twelve hour shift at work and stuff... had to get at least five hours sleep. meat bodies are such a pain.
That war report though, dayum.
Did anyone record the fight? Please say yes.
You know, for 'research' reasons.

His point is very clearly stated, and in comparison to what Devils situation is, very similar.

VMG decced Marmite. A blue, when they let some red into their corp, because Marmite was trying to disband PIRAT another blue to VMG. Per quoted by VMG.

"2. Trying to focus on disbanding a blue the same."

But when the act of PIRAT attacking a citadel was brought to VMG, they solidly remained neutral. A very clear and hypocritical action. Because it was blue on blue situation and VMG refused to take a stance in it.

You can't claim one thing and turn around and refused to walk your talk. EVE especially you will get called out for it.

VMG, Marmite and Forsaken with VMG and Phoenix Rising firmly in FA at the time, are all very very well known to me for this treatment of blue's though. So I'm really unsurprised by the actions. The only single courtesy I've seen from any of them, is Khrom at least gave warning to Absoslut back in the day, before he reset standings.

Also I'm really coming under the belief that the reason Highsec is so dead is partly due (But still mainly CCP for not changing how Highsec has behaved dynamically for years) to VMG's push to a dominating power in highsec, by osmosis-ing everything it comes into contact with. They have been systematically picking up mercs from other outfits, either it be closure, or disbandment from across the board.

Frankly it's boring. VMG is basically the Goonswarm of Highsec. Or soon to be. Whichever.





You obviously have no idea who Ralph is. I am the one who has an uncontrolled mouth. I've earned that title damnit.

I'm just here for the exploding spaceships.

It seems to be more about JFs than GFs. Not many real mercs left.
