I thought this was a good idea, so I "borrowed" Malcanis' time machine and went back to 2010 to convince CCP to do this. Here's the result: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGplrpWvz0I

You're welcome.

EVE Online Causality trailer featured backstabbing. Though it was pictured as a revenge action.

Edit: That other guy with the tattooed arm beat me to it.

Thought about that, but ultimately decided more people would enjoy the read for what it is, and not hide it away in the C&P area. Perhaps I can help encourage the next generation of corp heists Cool

This kind of thing is usually best posted when completed, so proof and such can be displayed.

For all we know you're just trolling and will disappear from the forums in a couple days. Not accusing of that, just no way for us to know.

It's just more financially viable for me.

As I mentioned in the initial post, I will be providing links to proof when all is said and done. However I completely understand your hesitance.

May 21st - Today is the day. Twisted After a few days of complaining about not having the resources to make stuff for the corp, the XO has given me the go ahead to head to the C3 POS and move materials. Before I head over its time to smash and grab everything of value at the HQ, mostly BPOs and some materials. Just to try and create some confusion I decide to only take ship and rig BPOs, ignoring the ammo and cheaper equipment BPOs, I also ignore the containers of BPCs. I head over to the current hi-sec entrance and head in.

Jackpot. Big smile

The WH itself is quiet, no one around at all despite current WHs into a few other C3/4/5s. Over the next 4 hours I proceeded to strip anything of value from the system. I start with the refined minerals, then the raw materials – a mixture of gases, ice, PI and ore. Unfortunately I cannot fit my freighter into the WH, but the good folks of the corp have an Orca at the POS ship storage array that, once “liberated” Pirate I can re-purpose as a poor-mans freighter. Fortunately I have vastly understated my actual piloting skills and I quickly move ship after ship out of the WH to the hi-sec station.

Problem, apparently I collapsed the wormhole with all my in and out trips with the Orca. The real issue is that I am inside the WH when it collapsed. Figures. Guess I have a few options. First, I will wait for a day for the alliance people to update the bookmarks with an exit. Option two, if I get booted from the corp before I can get out of the WH, seeing as how I do not have probes equipped (minor oversight) I will have to self-destruct and pod kill myself. At least the Orca I’m flying isn't mine!!!!

Sure there aren't any probe launchers/probes somewhere in there that you can 'borrow'? Lol

If you're posting now, it means you can probably log-in before anybody else right after downtime.

If they discover your wrongdoings, you could stay online, cloaked in a safespot for days waiting for that alliance bookmark. Twisted A 600Mil+ Orca may be worth it.

And this is why I gladly take the title of officer douchebag in corp. I am the rights manager for my corp and my friends hate how much I lock down on it. Avoiding a situation like the one you are causing though is why I do it. Keep up the good work. A corp that cant keep out thieves or at least make it almost impossible to steal the good stuff does not deserve to have stuff at all.

May 22nd - It has been 24 hours since I started my heist, and so far as I can tell there have been no serious alarms raised. A few members have been asking where certain BPOs are, but no one is making serious noise. When I logged back in today there was a new exit to high sec, this one only 5 jumps over from yesterdays (thank god for small mercies!). I exit the WH and dock up the Orca (and its full load of looted materials, ships and miscellaneous goods). There are no messages, no warnings in corp bulletins, and I still have all my roles… what the hell? I guess they aren't paying attention, so I head back in for a few more runs of loot. I only get two more runs done before someone finally notices that most of the ships are gone from the WH.

A few of the members begin talking about where stuff is, each time seeming more and more alarmed, as if finally realizing what has happened. One of them asks me if I saw anything when I was in the WH yesterday… so I lie. I pick a random corp member from the list of who was last on yesterday and say that I saw them flying an Orca at the WH POS…..that should take some heat off for the short term. A few hours later, I log back in and tell another name, this time someone who was actually online AND asking about where the WH exit in HS was….thankfully at least one other member will be able to confirm this if I need them to using chat logs. That should muddy the waters quite nicely.

There is a chance that I might actually get away with this….. sweet baby jebus.

Coming from a long history of living in wh space with a number of really cool bros it makes me a bit sad, since most corps are very tight nit. However a decent corp knows how to set up roles and protect themselves. The ones that don't quickly learn once a capitol or two get lost to the darkness of space, and if not crippled by it only improves their security.

With that said do you have roles to offline the pos / remove all fuel Twisted
