Unless you have enough players inside dec shield it will be useless. The number of merc alliances, griefers, one corps, etc etc etc are way bigger in numbers then the guys who will be inside decshield.

So good idea, cuz its shows the dec mechanism fails. But be careful who you 'trap' Twisted

No, it really isn't. I've considered doing this for a while but don't really have the time nor the visibility to make anything out of it.

Lovely... Best part is, this tactic was brought up when CCP was asking for pre-implementation feedback. Working as intended.

Almost makes the Crimewatch ideas palatable. At least that only lasts for 15 minutes.... Maybe... maybe they planned it this way all along.... *tinfoil hat*

I considered doing this since last year!

Now what happens to the corps once they drop from Dec Shield. Do they now get a copy of all mutual wars against dec shield?

Yes, they do. All wars transfer also to the corporation that leaves the alliance, and remain active until the war runs it's natural duration, at which time the corporation/alliance that has initiated conflict can decide to pay the upkeep fee for 50,000,000 ISK instead of whatever it would normally be. We've used this previously to continue wars, and we'd like to thank alliances for keeping it going for us!

(Note: I don't know if making it mutual will do anything.)

You are both welcome to join Dec Shield at your leisure to siphon off our wars and bring them back to your own corps/alliances. Since you can get exact copies of our wars, we can continue to spread these wars between countless entities in the game, never allowing any to escape.

Last night we trapped C0VEN alliance into a permanent wardec from which they'll never escape. We also had 'Bridgeburnners' disband to avoid being permanently trapped. They reformed into Rock Hard Innovations, when they start another war we'll have them again. We're also getting continuous surrender offers from VR Corp, P I R A T, Die Wildgaense, etc etc. I've been deleting notifications because there are too many. The tears must flow.

Meh, we're more likely to end up at war with you guys. It's not going to be a huge difference either way tbh. We joined DS last time around and didn't see jack **** for like 3 weeks.

Ya, a lot of our current wars have stagnated, or people transferred out of the corps. It'll probably be a few weeks before we pick up enough live wardecs to present targets. But you're right, you'll probably get sucked into a permawar with us sooner or later. Right now we're sitting at 58 wars, with another 4-5 in the next 24hrs.

They don't all bail. Only about 20% of our victims have bailed. And since we'll continue to accumulate them, the choice of highsec targets we're holding captive will only get better. Some entities will never be able to escape or disband like the nullsec alliances. If any of them are foolish enough to declare wars they'll end up screwed.

Wardec mechanics are like swiss cheese - full of holes P

Nothing really changes for c0ven as we did not expect to escape the mutual war with Penumbra Institute anyway. But the idea is funny.
