Today Ocularis Inferno engaged in the final stages of an eviction of a wormhole, who promised to hire mercs. Well, the first set of 'mercs' they hired, noted above, is the corporation known as Worm Hole. (http://evewho.com/corp/Worm+Hole.), from the alliance Honorable Third Party (http://evewho.com/alli/Honorable+Third+Party) who apparently don't understand the meaning of the word mercenary.
They scammed our targets out of ISK, then offered up the POS password to my people for no compensation. They additionally offered to string along their clients for more ISK, as well as a 'tip' from us for this hilariously useless information. Be aware that they are a hilarious excuse for mercenaries (much to my disappointment), and should be avoided at all costs.
On a (probably?) related note, they hired Forsaken Asylum as well, and I for one look forward to generating killmails. |

So...what is it you are trying to say?
Sounds like these guys did you a huge favor or three.
Forsaken Asylum is probably going to give you some tough fights tho. Everything in EVE is a trap. And if it isn't, it's your job to make it a trap...:) You want to know what immorality in EVE Online looks like? Look no further than Ripard "Jester" Teg.

I'm saying the guys I mentioned are a waste of ISK and I like to fight. I look forward to seeing Forsaken Asylum and The Pursuit of Happiness on my overview, and we are arranging for probes to be contracted to them shortly. |

We are saying a few simple things, do try to keep up?
1 - The Merc corp in question is bad 2 - We like fights. Even better if they just show right up on our doorstep 3 - We look forward to the new round of good fights, but suspect we may need to train them how to scan first. Classes start at 1400 every Tuesday. 4 - When in doubt, shoot a fleet mate. This will ensure you are on SOMEONES killmail. |

Not everyone has the same definition of PvP as the OP, nor are all their goals the same.
It seems to me that the goal of the merc corp in question is to make money (which they did by scamming the folks who hired them) and cause some mayhem and destruction with those who hire them (which I hope ensued after offering up a POS password for free).
If I'm right, they are a wonderful merc group, just not one that any smart corp should ever hire. Fortunately for them, there is no shortage of viable employers. Reading Comprehension: a skill so important it deserves it's own skillbook.

Well Mike clearly needed help in keeping up. We dont have time to explain everything as if we are talking to 2nd graders. I see that we were mistaken on both Mr. Mike and yourself.

I would think any corp seriously interested in merc contracts would want to risk their long term repuation (and money making ability) for some short term gain. In fact your last line is a bit contradictory. A merc corp that no smart corp should ever hire isn't really a very good merc corp at all.
Scam corp maybe.

Day 1 - Contract for probes denied. We assume they have trained up their own scanners, so we are vigilant. The walls are manned and POS's fueled.

Spent the entire hour it took us to earn all that isk nervously bashing dscan every 3 seconds (calculated by stopwatch), expecting mercenaries on our horizon at any second. Going to bed with an overwhelming sense of relief for today, and dread for tomorrow. And, perhaps, some lulz at carebear alliances pissing money away stupidly. I hear they like mining in hisec. |

You know high sec is as reachable for you as worm hole is for us, and on your case you would not even have to look for the correct system. So stop with that lousy excuse. You are not our only target, we aim efficiency on time and isk on all our work, sending dozens of hours to find a specific WH system is a sure inneficient work. But we do visit when we find the proper entrance by observing high sec movements....
btw, no impressive drop.. we never found anyone that we needed more than 7-8 people to deal with.... "If brute force does not solve your problem..... -áthen you are -ásurely not using enough!" |

Sorry bud, doesn't work like that. If I was getting paid to hunt you, I'd be sitting on your undock in an hour, but I'm not, unfortunately. Poor Ood, lost their tower, then they get scammed by mercs, then they hire mercs that admit they can't be bothered to hunt us in WHs. |

Oh, cupcake. That's really not how it works.
Tell you what, we'll consider doing for you what we did for Devil's Warrior Alliance when they had a hard time finding our home system. I just hope your fleet doesn't run away from our ragtag collection of T1 cruisers, when it shows up on your doorstep and asks for some ~gudfites~.

If I paid a merc corp money to make my enemies feel pain, I'd expect them to lose a few ships in the process. You're not a merc corp, you're a highsec wardec corp. For anyone who doesn't live in highsec, this has almost no effect.
I can't even really blame you guys. I mean, people are just throwing iskies at you to essentially just sit around doing nothing. Why wouldn't you take their money? You really have a solid business plan there.

As long as they keep getting hired (and paid), I'd say they're a "good" merc corp. What they do, how that relates to what they claim to do, and whether or not they're taking advantage of their employers is all irrelevant. Reading Comprehension: a skill so important it deserves it's own skillbook.

I dont know why merc corps beat their chest so much either. I think because, really, at the end of the day we all know most merc corps simply wont engage in any activity with any risk associated with it.
So you get the chest beating we have here, to maintain the facade of being "Mercenaries". I think deep down they know they are lying to themselves as much as they are lying to each other.

Day 2 - The time creeps by. We live in fear now, although we have seen no signs of our aggressors. We believe they are playing mind games with us, with some success. We stationed one of our more experienced individuals in his best combat ship on the door to our home. Our first line of defense against unwanted intrusions.
Unfortunately as the hours drew on and his nerves were left in shambles he inadvertently targeted an unannounced activation on the hole and killed one of our own. Clearly the mind games are wearing us down.
http://puu.sh/ac1ra/1e97da7bfe.jpg
We stopped most of our PI now convinced they are hiding behind our POCOs just waiting for us. A few individuals did fleet up and farm our C3 again, netting another 400 mil.
We remain on guard, although the long hours are wearing us down. We believe this all part of their plan. however, much to our dismay. |

This thread just got forwarded to me, and gave me a good chuckle.
First off, we're not a mercenary alliance. We have no contact information, no thread advertising our services, and have never accepted a single contract in our half-month history. The only thing that would give people any idea we operate as mercenaries is an alliance description reading "Available for Hire".
As far as I know, one of the members from "Worm Hole." used this single line of text, and only this, as the pretense to scam some poor bloke out of 2B ISK - the POS passwords were offered up for free. Oh, and while I'm here, I'd just like to say that Forsaken Assylum is a very good mercenary alliance whom I've hired in the past and have done great work.
