Crime & Punishment

Hello Again C&P-

Thought I’d share another tale of our small band of brothers that live in that wretched black yonder that is J121459. So this story actually begins quite a while ago before they were even our wormhole division at Obstergo. This began when our boys were still members of the wormhole alliance Covenant of the Phoenix Alliance or as we'll reference them for the duration of this story, COTP. COTP leadership had accepted a personal friend of mine, Trail Stevens to join their community, and in doing so opened negotiations with establishing blue standings with Obstergo so our newly formed nullsec contingent would have a place to continue to practice our wormhole ways.

After a short stint with COTP, Trail brought in a friend or two who were old members of TragedyDOT, our former alliance, and began recommending changes to better the alliance progression and ensure their overall success in their home. Red Warclaw, the alliance CEO, seemed to welcome some of the changes and it seemed Trail and his friends were bettering things slowly. After introducing Siggy, Trail noticed some of the old warhorses (This term is used rather loosely) of COTP were beginning to have issues with the changes taking place.

Some scrub in the alliance, Codarr, started having personal issues with Trail and this is about the part where our story begins to dive. After a bit, Codarr began scheming to have Trail removed from the alliance, taking the opposition of anything Trail proposed, and working toward Trail’s “demise” (whatever the **** that means). Finally, Codarr informed Trail he was no longer welcome in COTP after Trail solo-rf'd a fully fanged POS in a neighboring K162 with his Revelation. Codarr said that Trail was committing “unsanctioned” actions that could jeopardize the alliance and that the alliance was content without him. He then proceeded to inform Trail that “he[Trail] made it hard for him[Codarr] to enjoy the game, so he[Trail] had to go."

Suffice it to say that Trail left, along with most of COTP’s pvp force (Now Obstergo’s Wormhole Division [Feel free to convo Trail Stevens or Dasani Waters for more details]), most of whom disagreed with COTP’s leadership’s attitude in handling the whole matter. COTP went on lockdown, scared that there would be repercussions for their transgressions against the mighty Proc Diadochu (lulz) and our friends (yea I’m speaking in the Royal tongue… What of it?). At the end of this, Obstergo reset COTP, and our guys moved out, joined Obstergo and reformed in a C5/SC5.

Then… yesterday happened. We had been waiting for this moment for a while, Our new home opened into J(whatever the **** COTP named their hole). Check chat, and one of our members, Leftro informes us that they are our static, time to act. Trail hopped into his Carrier, fit a cloak, and some randomness we decided should be the best fit for this operation and warped to the hole. Since the fall of COTP, their membership declining in activity, so their wasn’t anyone on. Trail knew however that they had "taken measures" to ensure they received out of game alerts (metagamers..yay) when they are being attacked. So he warped a Drake on another toon to an anchored pos and volleyed off. He jumped the Carrier in their hole and cloaked on the wormhole.

Of course, after a minute, they began loggin in and probes were out. They found our hole and decided to send a Dread to the hole to collapse it. You guys prolly see where this is going, don’t you, you clever bastards… As soon as the Dread landed, he popped through the hole, and immediately, Trail decloaked and followed him in, collapsing the hole behind him. “oh hai” ;)

In the end, the guy was quite mad and self destructed his Dread… such a waste of a perfectly good killmail, but on the positive, we got ours and thanks for the salvage ;) The trap was successful and of course COTP was very mad, bro… but what ev’s, it was worth the slightly elongated story that you have just finished reading, and I know it's just a dread but this is really about the story for us. Some of you may have enjoyed it, others may simply troll, but all in all, that was, in my not so usually humble opinion, a great trap.

Thanks for your time, C&P.

Lot of words for a Dread killmail you didn't get.

Next time I expect you to write about how you razed their system.

It was too long, so I didn't read

Found the corpse... think the guy uses +5's

That's bull crap. Warp was inititated before any word was said, the intent of Shadow was hostile to begin with. BUT DOES THIS EVEN MATTER? YOU MAD BRO? WELCOME TO EVE...

The classier version of a trap.

You know how people always tell you to join a wh corp if you want to avoid the null politics and drama?

...yeah.

Talocan United on "good" WH Corps... lulz
