The guys were hired to protect Revenant Order during our war with them.

Killboard

Over a billion in losses for their client and nearly a half billion in losses themselves, color me unimpressed.

While I'm proud of my little Alliance, we aren't exactly Rooks & Kings over here.

The clients losses greatly outnumber our own, unfortunately whilst paid to protect them we can't protect from random acts of stupidity such as mining during a war - which as always we advise clients against.

Our losses come from fighting outnumbered with the largest loss being due to losing 2 guardians and a harby fighting 13 v 20, whilst you had 4 blackbirds and a falcon with no ECM of our own. Since then we have kept a presence in your area of space even through our quiet period over the new years holiday and will continue to do so until the end of our contract.

We aren't paid to win every battle, we're paid to keep bringing fights and that we will.

+1 for fighting outnumbered against an ECM heavy fleet. Another +1 for not giving up.

Our wardec and your contract ended.

I preferred to let it end there and told your CEO exactly that. We'd accomplished our goals and were looking to move onto new tasks.

Unfortunately, your CEO wasn't and felt duty bound to repair the damage to his reputation and kill board - no matter how long it took.

Fair enough. (Though, I would argue that the best way to repair the damage would have been to just move on, since you guys seem to do just fine on your average contract. Eventually this unfortunate episode would fall off the kill board and new clients would be reassured by your more recent successes. )

Now though, less than 24 hours later, you've managed to fall another billion ISK into the hole for no good reason. You aren't repairing your killboard, you aren't helping your reputation, and you certainly aren't engaged in any highly profitable contracts. Is it really worth it to continue rationalizing your losses and letting your pride overrule your better judgment?

One guy welped a proteus there is your 'another billion', he had been -10 for the last 6 months, zero fucks were given by the rest of us. This campaign is now a perfect training campaign for our guys we've already written it off as a failure so it will continue until we are content with the results.

Right now we have two types of pilot in The Ghost Army:
- Those who have been with us for years spent time as mercs, then time in faction warfare for the last 6 months.
- Those who joined us during FW and need some highsec readjustment.

The only thing that we do have right now is a **** ton of ISK, thank you FW farming, meaning we can afford to extend this contract and get our standards up - 7 of our 9 losses in the contract come from guys who have not been mercs before. We're sticking around, you should probably get used to it.

*Slow Claps*

And yet again, the blob with lots of ECM strikes again against one of our newer players.

I Dont know about you, but i'm damn proud my member Wanted to go solo against you guys. Kudos to him.

Hope one of those tasks wasn't getting your industry back up and running, your POS seems to have gone boom. Seen as nothing undocks until you have 10+ dudes we thought we would shoot the only remaining target.

If I ever meet anyone looking for a merc corp to shoot at an unfueled, module-less POS tower, I'll send them your way.

Pretty rich from the guy whos corp engaged 12 v 1 and then still considered ECM as neccessary... the worst odds you've flown with is 20 v 13. Also leave it in space, expect it to get blown up only yourselves to blame.

Also please do refer them offline POS bash contracts are easy ISK. Will let potential clients judge our worth our past contracts are here.

Ratios may be off, only going on engagements I've seen and heard of. My point still stands your rely primarily on ECM and the blob. You have a couple of good pilots but it really is a case of finding pearls of brilliance in a sea of ****.

I think you should go back and re-read.

The OP maintains that the worst odds we've flown with has been 20:13. This is factually incorrect. Just check your killboards. If you need a hint, look for 2 myrms and a POD dying one minute apart.

Just setting the record straight. Please, feel free to return to your rationalizations.

So what was your involvement in that one?

2 of your oldest members against 2 of my youngest, I'd like to see that situation turned around and see how well your members fare Blink

Still think you should take Johnny up on that 1v1.
