Originally by: LordInvisible Drivel.
The original arguement came about due to the fact that the contract has been taken out by an employer who as of yet is unknown. Essentially everything has been cloak and dagger, and they've yet to publically declare their grudge/intentions/whatever, which to me seems weak albeit I accept it's gonna happen. How the actual war is carried out, whether it be by their wallet, their own ships or their words is irrelevant - it's all fair game.
Now, assuming this isn't just one big farce and you have genuinely been contracted. You're in a merc corp, in which you've been paid to initiate war on Zzz. What baffles me is how you can then get so surprised that Ricdic employs the same tactics to protect his investment/investors/customers. Unless you're trying to say that what you're doing in itself is cheap, then how can you blame KIA from being brought in to the party? (and what a party it was)
As for your retorts to the so-called 'trolls', they've done your corp no favors (and yourself for that matter) and I'm surprised your employer isn't having second thoughts.
As a customer for Zzz, for a decent length of time I can say that this war dec has really had little to no impact on me. Research is still researching, ships are still intact and my wallet is still in my pocket. And while I can't speak for the whole alliance, to me it just feels like business as usual.
Inadvertantly, you've probably advertised the alliance if anything. X) On that note time to slap some more BPOs in the oven.
Good luck versus KIA.

I can honestly say that I have seen no impact on my wallet or my activities from this so called war that was declared by this so called merc corp. I ferried hundreds of millions worth of BPs around 5 systems multiple times today without even a peep from these losers.
The Phoenix Mercenaries are a pathetic excuse for a merc corp. It's insulting to be war dec'd by such ineptitude.

When you're in 0.0 no one cares if you're ready to fight, or if the odds are fair, or whatever. It's a fight. Pew pew. Etc. Do your best to run away and pray that you get the upper hand the next time around...but my God, don't whine about it. 4. Mercenaries are normally pretty professional people. MC for example is highly professional. If you're the spokesperson for your Corp (15 days of employment to date, you must be a heavy hitter to do PR by yourself) you're doing a HORRIBLE JOB. 5. You have no concept of how a Research Alliance makes money and what the true impact of War is. Which is to say, not much. Yes, there is an impact. No, it will not "break the bank". 6. You jump around Corps entirely too much which means you have a short attention span or the corps your in don't last long. who knows!
All of the above is highly constructive criticism, I hope you use my feedback to improve yourself physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

Inversely? I thought it was directly proportional myself.

Edited by: Aira Phlux on 03/10/2007 12:47:51 Sadly I think it lacks proportion. When the pew pew decreases the balls definately increase to compensate inversely. However I suspect that the balls will also increase if/when pew pew increases making it directly proportional. Therefore as both inverse and direct proportions are in effect I conclude neither really exist. This may create a paradox and tear a hole in reality or might just be text on the internets.

Can all KIA pilots stay off this thread, that is an order.
Phoenix Mercenaries:
Take stock, drop the dec, and go do something else, you have pilots and they can achieve something, this time you have been unfortunate that your intended target has VERY deep pockets and has a way to my ear.
If you want to continue with your contract, so be it. Your Marks POS will not be harmed as long as KIA is under employment, and your pilots will not be safe ANYWHERE in empire.
Despite the smack and the drivel contained in this thread, it would be a shame to see any entity fail before it gets a chance to achieve, move on, do something else and prove the doubters wrong, is my only advice to you, and belive me, I know what its like being doubted as Merc Corp and turn it around.
There will be no further post by any KIA member including myself, we will do our talking in the systems you inhabit.
Safe flight, until we meet of course.

Way to ruin it!

In a years time, when the Phoenix Mercenaries are but a grey dust I use on my frozen pathway to stop frost getting there, people will remember this war as an omen. The moral is - dont **** with a carebear, they can beat the **** out of you by proxy of a badass mercenary corp that is yet to understand the concept of overkill. Riddik 4tw. This has been an official annoucement from Lothian Archives.

rofl. I guess messing with carebears in most cases doesn't yield the results that this one has. But I don't really consider myself the same as most carebears in this game. If it were my isk and not a public alliance I would have probably done far less.
Due specifically to the fact that I have 400-500 alts and 120 odd investors counting on me failure is not an option. I don't care if I lose every single isk in game that I own as the only reason I still play this game is for the love of the industrial and stock markets and the enjoyment I get out of running public ventures that benefit everybody. If I lose investor/customer confidence to a point where I feel I am deemed inept you won't see me log back into Eve again. It's the only thing that keeps me in this game.

2007.10.06 17:33 CONCORD has declared this war invalid as it breaches one or more articles in the Yulai Convention.
For the time being the war is over. Thanks to everyone for your support and KIA for their stellar military presence during the conflict resulting in zero lost Zzz ships or assets from the time their war went active (may be incorrect but none have yet been reported).
Thanks to The Phoenix Mercenaries guys for being good sports as well, very little smack occured and I chatted with some of them in-game at various intervals they seem like good blokes.
There has been no direct resolution at this point so it is unknown if the war will be restarted at a later date, I will leave this to Phoenix to comment on if they like.
Thanks all. (note: Zzz don't go undocking yet, they can still attack for another 10-15 hours or so)

no, u are bending my statement just to troll and make us look stupid, which u failed.
We dont ask, we just started to do what we were told to do.
And we were never afraid of engaging as u could see from only two engagements we had before blob came..I engaged 2 of them, knowing that 4 were in next system, 2 of them flying BSs with t2 loot:) and risking that kia would bring remote reppers into play..
U should hire somebody to think instead of u, would be more fruitfull then trolling here..
He doesn't need to do anything to make you look stupid. Not that my opinion of your corp was very high to begin with...

LOL, Havok, by the time you wrote this post LordInvisible had already left 5 days ago Phoenix Mercenaries (the merc corp Ricdic was talking about) and had joined yet another corp.

Eve TV says your going to sell Zzz. I thought you weren't going to be forced out of the business by this wardec'ing?
The reason for the offer to sell was specifically because I felt I wasn't equipped well enough to handle the war and I can only throw money at the problem so many times. I have the time to run Zzz no problem, but in a war I realise just how much extra work is involved. I won't be auctioning off Zzz any time soon, I just put the word out that I was considering buyers, and for people to contact me if interested.
Quote: And if the person who wardec'ed you buys Zzz wouldn't they have won? Won't prices go up?
Well I put the sale query through before hearing that those against me were likely competitors. If I had known for sure that this was the case I probably would have not sold in spite. Regarding prices it depends on the level of existing ownership of the research market they have.
For now, there have been a few queries but nothing really solid so C-R-A/Zzz will continue to operate under my ownership for the time being.

Back on topic, how much heads-up will you give your member corps before you sell off ZZZ ? Looking at how well you handled this, I'm interesting in moving my alt corp into ZZZ to help you earn some of my hard-grinded ISKs.

Those in alliance are concerned about this as well. I will give at least 1 month of notice before a sale is actioned (me removing my ceo roles) due to my having a few rorqual bpo's in research belonging to a customer. Once they finish (40 days or so) if a buyer has been sourced, the sale will go through.
Having said that, I am not actively selling/auctioning off Zzz just opened the doors to communication to anyone interested. At this point I am happy to go along with it and see no need to rush any sale.
