I looked through every single of your 1300 kills in June. If you discount the kills made by the groups actually living in wormholespace and the kills brought to you by endi32 (you dont get to count those for alliance. endi32 is like a superscout and I know the effort he puts into his kills) you are left with less then a handful of kills in wormholespace. SYJ is basicly an example that proves Axlioth's point. ~Bringer of happiness

I will put my had out on the block and disagree with the major consensus.
It is a known fact that theres this mantra about not evicting pvp entities. As long as you play and behave in the accepted manner ofc. If you dont then everyone gang up on you. So theres an ideal that is ment to improve quality of life for the big groups that is part of the same club (WH overlords or whatever channel serves the same purpose). And ofcourse its repeated a few times on forum. But do not be fooled. This mantra only apply to those in the club. If you are a smaller group of players trying to carve your way, without "entertaining" the big groups to make them like you, you are basicly on your own and nobody cares. And there are several lesser known groups that dont mind doing evictions and infact find them fun. They dont go about boasting about it either as that would just make them a target in return. But evictions still happen. Those who can, and want to, do it. And is this really a bad thing? Are evictions and invasions what ruin wormholespace? After being on the recieving end of 4 invasions in the last year and on the dealing end a few times aswell I will VERY strongly object to this nonsense of an idea. In fact I will go so far as to state that invasions and evictions are what actually drive the major content in wormholespace. The attempt to NIP (Non Invasion Pact) everything is one (not the only) of the reasons wormholespace is becoming dull for a lot of people. Yes it sucked to loose 50 bill of assets when we was evicted from our 5-2. It was a difficult time. But for me (and I believe many others) that is what Eve is all about. Sometimes you win and sometimes you get beaten to the ground. But then you get up again and set out finding a new wormhole and start building up again. And even for those who give up, they will always remember the adventure you had, the victories and the losses. Its a story they bring on and remember. THIS is what makes eve the game we all love. Not only the victories but also the losses. And when you go and create a big blue safetyzone around you that feeling of risk, that feeling of adventure and excitement will depart and degrade aswell.
This is also one of the things that is unique to wormholespace. At least now. It used to be like this in 0.0. When ATUK[5] empire fell in the southeast we were a small group of corps that banded togeather and went back out as a new alliance [CHIMP] and took back some of the space without being dropped on by everyone. This was in the time before the big forceprojection. Before Titans. And even dreads was a rare sight.
We still have this opportunity in wormholespace. If you get beaten you can head back out and start fresh in a new system. Noone can stop you. But out of fear a lot of you sign up NIPs and add every diplo in any major group to your facebook page (metaphor). What happened to those who were willing to take a risk? To have no blues and take on the world?
If you who are a smaller group and want to take on wormholespace think you need to play the politics game with all the big groups. Let me tell you this. You dont need to. Take a step and man up. Do your own thing. Play your own way. You might loose some, but its worth it!! ~Bringer of happiness

No dont be. Pls dont be. As I said earlier. That is what makes eve what it is. The risk of that happening to anyone is what make wormholespace the adventure it is. When we decided to move out from the c4 haven we had, we first tried to get entire corp to follow but many were too scared of being evicted. So we started just 3 guys taking on a c5 wormhole. You have no idea how much fun we had. And we always knew that one day some group might come evict us just for the fun of it. I've been part of eviction fleets that was caused of a Noctis gank. Noctis!. Thats not unique even. Just a month a go ROLO connected to our current home and started farming our sites in au tz. We had like two or three guys on that went and started boming the wrecks because they really couldnt do much else. They went on to RF one of our towers.
Now I'm not saying this should happen every day. But the risk of it happening even once to your corp makes a huge difference in how you percieve your everyday life in wormholespace.

I know. But this is not due to mechanics only, but also due to human nature. Ask yourself this. If siegeing a wormhole was more fun, would it not happen more often? Ofc it would. It would happen all the time. Because some people just want to see the world burn. The boring part of siegeing a wormhole is what makes it a undertaking. A effort. Something epic. If you want to do it you need to do it properly. And this is what create the stories. The tales that we bring on. At least to me EVE is not a game for some mindless grinding or some arena fights when I'm bored. There are plenty of other games that have that for less effort. EVE is about something more. It has a thrill to it that no other game can match. Because you risk to loose it all. And this is why I disagree on the matter of evictions being bad. ~Bringer of happiness

HerrBert wrote:I admire your "creative" view on the matter...
Well thank you :) But that is honestly how I feel. And I know I'm not alone. It is the same reason as groups like Noho go "bhaals deep" into someones home. To risk it all and either win or loose. Same reason TRI want to take on fights where they are outnumbered. Too risk it all for a win or loss. And for the same reason we sat up a tower in c5 space a year ago. To risk it all for winning some but maybe aswell loose it all. And it was worth every minute we spent on that. Even when we lost it all. ~Bringer of happiness
