Begining of the war and they're kind enough to give me a plex. Cool guys. :)

Are you going to fight me or do you expect to bore me to death with your forum pvp?

We never underestimate anyone. Small merc groups dont make much mistakes and are hard to kill as they are used to fly as a solid group. A large group of beginning pvp players still kill you because of the numbers. Every pro leet pvp player starts somewhere, so why couldn't he be in an unknown group so far. etc etc....


“If your enemy is secure at all points, be prepared for him. If he is in superior strength, evade him. If your opponent is temperamental, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant. If he is taking his ease, give him no rest. If his forces are united, separate them. If sovereign and subject are in accord, put division between them. Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where you are not expected.”

Day 2 of the 300 day war. It's hard to keep an entire alliance in check - operating as one well oiled war machine. Many alliances have tried with varying degrees of success, but there is always that "One Guy" who doen't listen and makes everyone look bad. He may be a loner who thinks this is just a game, or he may even have a real life outside Eve - I know...go figure. One griefing technique is to identify that One Guy and hunt him down. Nothing hurts morale more than a shiny "One Guy" going down in flames.

This is where I need to introduce, The Detective (alias). The Detective adds hundreds of war targets to his watch list, runs locates using his specialized locator alt, and posts his locates on a web site for our corp to use. Sometimes, he finds a juicy target and hides it from the rest of us, but that is another story for another day....Today's story is about the Detective and the One Guy.

To the reformed carebear gone wild griefer with no life other than his outdated laptop, a warm beer and a soggy ham sandwich, a kill can be a wonderous thing that brings hours of joy. Let me be clear, I'm not talking about those insta-blap kills on a station. Those are ok, but I'm talking about the deliciously sweet kill with the seldom seen plex warming the inside of a war target's cargo hold. Normally the elusive plex shuttle would be sweet enough, but today, the Eve gods have indeed smiled upon us by delivering to us a plex battleship! Sitting beside the Eve gods, the loot fairy conveyed her approval and allowed the plex to drop! Come on....everyone knows, plexes don't drop!Lol

Wait...wait....wait...the story does have a somewhat sad ending. Shortly after demise of that One Guy, he either rage quit his corp or he was asked politely to leave. The damage is done. Griefers 1, Derp Alliance 0.

This war will start off in Highsec, but I imagine it will quickly lead to other secs. We found a lowsec area, which many of their players like to hang out at. So griefing 101...2 minutes until the war starts and the war target is preparing for battle.


you're gonna be in all kinds of secs!

Zeus doesn't know either. Nags pressed the dec button. Idk why, as far as I'm aware you guys have nice standings with us and BAW. :)

Another major factor with larger corps vs smaller corps is the timezone spread. Some corps might be larger but are smaller across different timzones. Where as one unified corp can organize a larger group on the same timezone.

Our response? ha...Haha. BruHAHAHAHAhaa aaaa *thunder*...*flashes* Twisted

We have found our new purpose in Eve. The War begins 18:58 today....more to follow


Just because someone couldn't care less about a highsec war dec doesn't mean that you're being underestimated. I'm glad that you're able to spin some sort of narrative out of someone else's apathy and keep the game fun for yourself though. Keep doing that.


apathy and disrespect are two different things you clearly don't know the differences, so pull up a chair sexy, let old naggers teach ya.

Apathy would go like this.................. see how nothing happened? if he was apathetic he wouldn't have showed interest in us and wouldn't have convoed us cuz he wouldn't care...


Why do you feel the need for your war targets in an internet spaceship game to respect you? Clearly your jimmies are rustled enough that you feel the need to post in CnP about it.

Also as for the plex BS kill... "Ooh look a piece of candy"
