Most established Mercs have blues or friends in other Mercs organizations, so it is not hard to start a convo and say: Hey dude, we're shitting all over x corp for e reason, recolting great tears and likely disband them because of w, y and z.

Want to get on da **** boat with us? Gonna be fun.

Then hilarious stuff happens.

In this case it's even worse because on top of that many groups that hated Sengier were holding off on doing anything because they didn't want to deal with the other mercs that would likely get involved if they declared war by themselves.

Once the whole convoluted mess started to unravel and it became apparent that the only people he'd have on his side were the very bottom of the barrel, off-timezone hub campers who don't care about hemorrhaging billions in T3s, everyone with a grudge or desire for giggles smelled blood in the water and piled in.

Well , it's not like he has anymore members to lose so I guess that's fine indeed. I'm sure your contacts have already informed you of the ragemail he sent us for daring to leave the alliance (last) and to continue being friends with the guys that left .

Damn , and I actually admired the guy at one time for having guts .....

Everyone is welcome to declare war on Sengier's alliance. I actually encourage it!

As we would say in Arkansas: "That boy done f**ked up"

Moving forward The Pursuit of Happiness does have an open slot available to be under our protection. I am adding a new qualification to the application process though. The acting CEO must be able to pass a Myers-Briggs personality test.

For example their 30 man POCO defense fleet literally scattered when we landed 4 vindicators and 3 bhaalgorns on it.



I assume you had logi ready to drop and they knew it...otherwise that's pretty funny. Basilisk pilot was sleeping.

Lots of fun could be had against non-MJD equipped brawler battleships if your opponents were competent.

That's more Guardians than you typically see in a large AHAC fleet in Black Rise. Like really, you'd have to bring so much e-war to even have a chance.

I've just seen the 14 logi clip and... Auch. Given that at the time a certain individual was shouting over me " don't align, we have sentries! We can take them, they are just 5 men with 10 alts! " ... Thankfully the other guys had the common sense to ignore their " leader " and follow the fc.

4 seconds more and we'd have lost the battleships for nothing.

But if they're wondering why they don't get fights...

The number of entities in highsec that could undock a comparable fleet and use it effectively can probably be counted on one hand.

You have to make the seals believe they have a chance.

I could bring the numbers. But not the composition or skilled players. Could I fc it? Maybe, did it years before. Could we do it effectively? Hard to say. That day I was forced to use logi pilots that had no combat experience - as it was seen during our failed trap.

Also, even if we had the numbers and compo.... BAW are experienced. Their primary was myself. And since jack was busy there was no backup fc. Would have been a blood bath.

Tbh I was expecting 5-7 combat ships with maybe 5 guardians. That we might have slaughtered since we had mjds on the rattles and massive slaved tanks on the bhaals. But... It's already history.

Well I got INTP

But that aside can you tell me just how often did we ask you guy collectively for a War deck on other corps.

I have to admit I did ask for one in anger over getting alpha ganked on the undock in Amar (I loved that lepoard ! ).
And in the early days we did have torbble with one corp but he hired greffers and gankers to come after us first so hes they guy who got you hired on retainers.
