The npc corp thing is no big deal, but as a third party reading this it is amusing that the initial aggressor that started all this is no longer in the corp he was threatening with, while the target goes on unaffected. Your point is fair enough though, clearly extortion isn't your forte and it's reasonable to consider other options.

1. I say "solo" because multiboxing three toons for example is not the same as having three pilots at your disposal. You don't have the advantage of multiple peoples experience, guidance, resources and so much more. If you can't see how 1 guy, even controlling 10 toons is at a natural disadvantage to the same number of individual pilots then that is simply a failure of imagination.

2. Slightly different to his account, but either way, he made a mistake and learned a lesson about people swapping ships from orcas. It was my bad that I read huginn as muninn. (ps, calling it a "no risk cloaky" when it died is a little ironic :p)

3. Yes you achieved some other unrelated things. The purpose to which I referred was your initial attempt to extort him. You failed at that.

4. Again different to his account, what is clear is a significant drop in members at the time. You disagree why, fair enough.

5. He didn't give in to you, that stands. That one man cant take down a pos defended by multiple people is hardly a surprise.

You seem to suggest that him going afk is somehow a bad thing, but against multiple opponents it's a valid tactic to encourage complacency and allow a weaker entity to pick off targets from a larger entity you'd stand no chance fighting straight up. Unless this is a very stealthy nerf afk cloaking thread and I missed it...

I don't know either of you, but his account was entertaining to read and I'm always enthused to see people trying new things. If you wrote a good tale, preferably nothing to do with shooting static pos modules, I'm sure we'd similarly be reading with enthusiasm.

Love you too.

'Mentally Assured Destruction' I like the name :-)

I may just give hisec-wardec-corp play a try when I next want a change of pace. I tried hisec ganking for a while last year and was surprised how much I enjoyed it ... lots of planning and coordination for big ganks, and lots of technical game dynamics to be considered. Good for a break but not long-term for me. I would not be surprised if I also enjoyed hisec wardec play ... much as I have had many evil thoughts about such folk in the past.

Fly dangerous MAD doods.

I guess I am almost a 'vet' by now. Hopefully not too bitter and managing to help more than I hinder. I build and sell many things, including large collections of bookmarks.

Guess you have never seen IS boxer at work,10 characters doing the same order perfectly can be more powerful then a group if the one person knows how to do what he is doing in the specific thing.

No risk that he knew of,sitting in a manticore and attacking miners,he was worried about drones only,he got caught out and was quite shocked.

3. Yes you achieved some other unrelated things. The purpose to which I referred was your initial attempt to extort him. You failed at that.
Unrelated? lets put it another way,our purpose was taking down Highsec towers that where valuable,we would ransom the towers worth less then the main towers we wanted,so we didn't tip off the main guys,but still had a chance at cash.
Case in point was mentioned in OP's 1st post

They'd not wardecced us at all and had even, passed us by and wardecced other small hisec carebear corps with POSes in our systems.

^^^ there you go.

4. Again different to his account, what is clear is a significant drop in members at the time. You disagree why, fair enough.

Agreed,the alliance we had left due to lack of leadership beforehand fell apart when a cloaky group started killing their miners.

5. He didn't give in to you, that stands. That one man cant take down a pos defended by multiple people is hardly a surprise.
.


Id say he ended up giving in,he stopped his pursuit,even stopped suicide ganking because he couldn't kill a procurer. he sent a demand to the alliance ceo we where to be booted along with a list of members AND that he would kill my tower,the tower that still stands \o/


All in all it was good fun,made some isk,learnt some things,and we went on to make a nice chunk of isk and even form a community (still part of the intel channel incase i ever get back into it) but highsec tower bashing,just like sov grinding was boring.

Goodluck with all future endeavors and no hard feelings.

Edit,reading the post thought i should mention i did change some of the text in the quote,as it wasn't easily noticeable unless pointed out.
