Well here we are, today Jericho Fraction celebrates its fifth birthday in Eve-Online and joins an illustrious club of longstanding successful entities who have survived the test of time and seen this game evolve and flourish over five good years of politics and war and happenstance. Seems a very long time ago that I got together with the founders at a good friend's house in Watford North London and we brainstormed a name and in-character backstory to propel us into a universe of radical guerrilla-fighting and Freespace anarchism in this dark and dangerous setting of tyrants and fiends and greedy space-enclosurists jealously counting their isk behind the roadblocks and POS towers!
So first of all IÆd like to say thanks to those original players who made Jericho Fraction happen and sparked our adventure in Eve Online. To: Athule Snanm. Bonepart, Elsie Sparrow, Ragadude, Tarik, The Grimp, The Magister and Yvonne Pyros (wherever you chaps are now!) Thank you and congratulations, I promised IÆd make us famous in Eve and to be honest - I think we kinda managed it.
Over the years Jericho Fraction has had hundreds of players who have been and gone and joined and fought the good fight against space-owning tyranny and IÆd like to celebrate their involvement in the cause too. We couldnÆt have made it without the help of everyone whoÆs worn the JF tag over the years and so many excellent memories remain of our fights and trials and triumphs and you guys are all a part of it. Thank you!
WeÆve had a great time. From the earliest days making fortunes hauling plutonium past Space Invader blockades in Venal weÆve forged alliances and destroyed them. WeÆve been hunted by megacorps and seen our enemies scattered and broken. WeÆve survived and flourished and have written our story into the tapestry of stars and through it all remained true to our founding principles of anarcho-capitalistic self-reliance and well-armed NRDS ideology. I could fill pages with our experiences and accomplishments, our triumphs and tragedies: whether from the heights of political intrigue in Venal through the dark days of the GNW, to our dashing campaigns against political nationalism in empire, our role in the Elarel pleasure gardens massacre, guerrilla activism against State appointees and UDI zealots, our wars and campaigns in Providence and amazing accomplishments across three Caldari Alliance tournaments in the full glow of galactic media attention. Suffice to say weÆve played the game of Eve to its limits and itÆs rarely disappointed us.
And I wonÆt forget our enemies either! Eve is nothing if not a thrilling intrigue-fest of war and conflict and our best times in game generally come from the villains weÆve fought and the many bold declarations of ôimminent fiscal annihilationö weÆve survived over the years. To Ragnar of TTI, to Halseth Durn of Oberon, to foul pirate kings and queens of M3G4 corp and the Foresaken Empire, to the landlords Curse and the road-blockers of the North, to Razor, to IRON, to the nationalists and their statist delusion, to Nickolai Nuvolari of Kimotoro, to Hardin and Aralis of the CVA, to each and everyone one of the NBSI robber knights and 0.0 braggarts weÆve removed from their ships over our time in Eve, Thank you! ItÆs been a blast. It would be impossible to spend five years playing spaceship revolutionaries if we didnÆt have a rich and vibrant caste of regressive villains to oppose and on behalf of everyone who has ever shot a tyrant in the face in Jericho Fraction colours û thank you once again!

By the by, we're currently hosting a celebration of Freespace activism in New Eden system and IÆm writing these words while sitting in space at the helm of a Rattlesnake-Class gurrista battleship along with the other speakers for the event and free-space race conclusion. Anyone fancies taking a shot at the Executor and Director team of Star Fraction (and collecting the corpse of the CSM chair) is welcome to come and have a go, weÆll be here for the next 90 minutes I expect).
All the best, and lets all raise a toast to Eve Online and the role of independent freespacers in the history of the Star Cluster.
Resist!
Rise and oppose your 0.0 overlords!
Dare to Dream!
(and hereÆs to another five years of fun and games)

You know that has actually been proposed as an issue :) You can bet I'll be right behind that one! All the best.

Happy birthday.
I'm truly delighted to see an idealogical beacon remaining burning bright for so long.
It's true what they say. An idea can never die.

Just a quick note btw everyone - the Free space celebration race is now finished and we have a winner.
A successful trip through the strongholds of NBSI entities in new eden concludes with victory to Khanid Voltar (SF) 126jumps, 2 hours, 13secs in it! between Khanid and the runner up Tareen Kashaar (SF) with third place going to Sakura Nihil (STIM)
Waypoints were (in no particular order):
X-7OMU
NOL-M9
AZN-D2
FAT-GP
EC-P8R
The victor will be awarded with a Black Ops battleship of choice, runner up gets a polycarbed Interceptor of choice.
Please give your applause for this bold act of revolutionary chutzpah and laughing in the face of territorial authority!
