We have all heard that Duty. have had a failcascade and are 'restarting' their corp (ie, they are basically disbanding) but now new rumors have come to life that Noir will be joining them shortly!
I am shocked that the 2 top Merc corps of our time are throwing in the towel.. Is there no work left in new eden for these fine gentlemen?

So are you saying it isn't true or are you trying to throw us off the scent until the Noir leadership can address the issue themselves?
What will happen to all of the people that have upcoming contracts with you guys and have paid a deposit? I hope they will be getting their deposit back.

I'm not trying to hurt Noir Lexa, im just trying to get to the bottom of the rumors and find out what will become of Noir's loyal customers after this unfortunate outcome is dealt with. I would hope with Noir's reputation they would provide full refunds in the case of their impending collapse.

No, Noir. is not disbanding. Yes, we're still taking contracts. Yes, we'll still honour them the same way as we always have.
Alekseyev is the only person who will make official statements about Noir. as everyone knows he's the CEO. So for any potential employers, current, or past employers reading this, please take everything in this thread with a grain of salt.

Edited by: Brea Tharen on 27/07/2009 20:16:10 So lets see.
Noir, who has posted in multiple threads as being the best and most prolific mercenary corp, is having problems.
While I don't have the same insider information that Lana has, I do have as much or more knowledge of internal corp/alliance workings as anyone else here, and we all know that when problems like this start, they usually end up death spiraling even while the main party is protesting their continued stability.
I would be concerned as a customer about putting forth any significant contracts to Noir at the moment, as it sounds likely they will simply absorb or be absorbed by another alliance and just become yet another random lowsec pvp/pirate alliance, or a smaller and less effective version of privateers.
As a side note, I don't think you can really label yourself as the best, I think that kind of thing has to be done by other people. Labeling yourself as "the most prolific" or one of the top 2 merc corps ever is an incredible level of arrogance. The only thing you do better than the other merc groups that are significantly older and more experienced than you, is have a spiffy website and post a lot on the forums about yourself. I'm personally enjoying what sounds like the initial death throes of an over rated and under skilled group of wanna be mercs. I've seen better, we all have, it's just that the ones that know NOIR isn't anything special don't bother posting on the forums.
*edit* I have been reviewing their killboards as well, and honestly? I mean I didn't give you guys much credit to begin with, but I didn't care enough to check on your kills to see just how bad you guys are. If that killboard is a representation of "the best mercenary group" then the entire profession of mercs may as well pack it in. That's terrible. It looks as if you guys are lucky to get one or two decent kills a day. Something tells me you aren't breaking many corps by killing their kestrels and punishers.
It also looks like, for a group that is a mercenary group, that you have a significant amount of kills in the standard low sec pirate hangouts. Are you certain your clients are getting their isk worth out of your pilots, or are you guys just taking the easy path and camping gates intead of hunting your contracts.

Plan from day one, straight up.
By the way everyone, Brea Tharen is the expert at internal corp and alliance workings. Lana, you could learn something from his keen insight, unbiased perspective, thorough understanding of the mercenary industry, and unmatched ability to read corp info and killboards.
Why simply by reading the half of the origional post left for posterity he has correctly deduced that Lana obtained insider information about our imminent collapse and fail cascade. Not only that, but his analysis correctly identified the reason being our epic fail at only killing two ships a day and that the result will be our inevitable absorbtion by a larger more successful mercenary alliance.
As soon as I find one. ---

So does that amusing deflection from my comment mean you really don't have any way to address the fact that you guys kill what appears to be an average of 3-4 ships a day?
That seems to be a small number for a self professed prolific merc corp.

Noir. 's problem... theyz r doing it wrong, mmk. Aleks needs to learn how to smack... mmk, and harvest tears from carebears, and put a certain ethnic minority in ovens, so they die in a fire (in game). Also Noir. needs new life jackets c/d?
Jokes aside, Eve will be a worse place if Noir. disbands; and I highly doubt it will ever happen. They are the MOST PROFESSIONAL merc. corp out there. Their killboards are not littered with random low/0.0 kills since they stay focused on their contracts. They do their job and take it seriously, even if that means station camping targets to afraid to come out for hours.

Ever heard of an alliance tournament? Maybe they wanted to apply and still haven't disbanded the alliance (just a supposition). |

It eliminates the 24 hour voting period from wardecs IIRC. That's the same reason ABP had an alliance.

Clearing the air for the last time.
1: We've established that NOIR does a lot of self chest beating. 2: Regardless of their excuses, we've established that they get a very small amount of kills. IMHO that would contradict their effectiveness.
And some new comments
3: There are a significant number of people who claim that NOIR is simply fantastic, yet the guy who runs the website/blog quit, as well as FU22 and Taram, so whats that all about. I know I probably wouldn't quit a fantastic, prolific, impressively significant mercenary corp.
4: They made the alliance not only for the 24 hour dec, but to try to get into the alliance tournament, which they are lucky not to have gotten into.
So what of it lads? Why quit such a fantastic alliance. Why are your leadership leaving like rats off a sinking ship?

Ender decided he wanted to move on to other things. It happens, the blog is going to remain because it was a great thing he started, the podcast too. He never ran the Noir. website, though- so you're wrong there.
Taram left under very positive circumstances and for no other reason than he'd been doing this for a long time and wanted to do something different. I'm sure he'll chime in, as he can speak for himself.
As one of those closest to what you could call the "leadership" of Noir. other than Alek, we're doing just fine, having fun and playing our role in the EVE universe.

Originally by: Auracon Noir. 's problem... theyz r doing it wrong, mmk. Aleks needs to learn how to smack... mmk, and harvest tears from carebears, and put a certain ethnic minority in ovens, so they die in a fire (in game). Also Noir. needs new life jackets c/d?
Jokes aside, Eve will be a worse place if Noir. disbands; and I highly doubt it will ever happen. They are the MOST PROFESSIONAL merc. corp out there. Their killboards are not littered with random low/0.0 kills since they stay focused on their contracts. They do their job and take it seriously, even if that means station camping targets to afraid to come out for hours. ------------------------------------------------------------------
Seriously? Their killboard isn't littered with 0.0 and low sec random kills? Seriously?
You might want to recheck that.
Also... Eve will be affected if they disbanded? Unlikely. They simply aren't that big of a deal.

http://eve.battleclinic.com/killboard/combat_record.php?type=alliance&name=Noir.+Mercenary+Group
the proof is right there.
Look, I'm not saying they aren't nice guys. Maybe they are, I don't care. I just speak as an experienced client of mercs, and these guys are not what their sock puppet alts, their ex members turned fanbois say, "One of the most prolific, professional, high quality merc groups ever."
It's simply not accurate. They have low member numbers. They have low kill numbers. They ahve inflated prices, poor tactics, and an overly active forum warrior section.
Quite simply they are pirates that occasionally take contracts, and appear to hunt the people you PAY them to hunt when they see fit.
It's quite obvious from that killboard that they go off the reservation at will.
In fact, a statistical analysis might reveal that less than 50 percent of their kills are actually war targets. I'll have to check into this after I get back from RL.

ah so 1 member chestbeating once on a thread nearly 3 months old, automatically means that the entire alliance is chestbeating whenever possible.

indeed, let me show you the Kboard of an old merc corp, wich was considered "tight" by many and so on:
http://tnt.griefwatch.net/ edit: doesn't seem to be working
also, you're talking about the client's perspective. try to run a merc business model in today's EVE, with hotdroppings, clonejumping, rampart piracy, and docking games and try to maintain high K:D ratios.
this isn't 0-****in-0, it's empire, where everyone and their mother has access to location agents (works both ways btw), alts spread out thru 5 jumps of a system and remote repping neutral alts.
also, you're forgetting that kills isn't just what counts. keeping the marks docked up doing squat xcept station spinning and local watching also counts. ---

Sorry but you can't call anyone that mainly pvp's in high sec good. Even most pirates aren't any good. There's very few outfits in eve that have it together well enough to be considered really good pvpers. It's the small corps that roam in small gangs that you will find kick your teeth in. Everyone else in these larger corps and alliances are just pixels that appear on killboards.

Saying "I think we're one of the best" in response to someone referring to us as "wannabe merc-lice" in a thread where the OP failed to understand how hiring mercs actually worked is chest-beating?
Stretch the truth much?
Some perspective would be good- but I don't expect any. In the end, despite YOUR chest-beating, you are still making unsubstantiated claims which are obviously driven not from any desire for objectivity but because you don't like Noir.; your exaggerations, unsubstantiated and inflated accusations, coupled with your strident hyperbole, all serve to cast into sharp relief the fact that you are only here to grind axes.
We get it- you don't like us. :) Your continued shrill dribbling is really not convincing anyone of your POV, though.
To everyone else: We've never claimed to be perfect, nor have we claimed to be the best. However, Noir. is professional, dedicated and one of the best merc groups you'll find in the universe of EVE. This is simply a fact- I despise false humility as much as I dislike arrogance. We are good and constantly strive to be better. The day we believe we're the best is the day someone comes along and knocks us down a peg.

Taram totally left because we suck, and he certainly didnt give you the verbal ***** slap of a life time in our defense here.
We totally dont get most of our business these days from repeat customers, word of mouth, and former targets. In fact, i will make the shocking revelation that I've hired Brea to troll our threads as advertising because we dont have enough work to refer to the newer and smaller merc corps so they can get some business.
We're terrible people, and terrible PVPers. Our killboards show we dont do a lot of damage to our targets and we have a horrible k:d and efficiency. We have never killed an entire alliance or corporation. Our contract targets do not take us seriously, they undock all the time without carrier over watch and warp to gates we are sitting over 150km off of because we can only kill targets when they enter local.
Comes down to this: If you know what a troll is, have a laugh at this one's heroically pathetic efforts and go about your buisness. If you think Brea is both serious and correct, contact Jonny 101 to take care of all your merc needs.
As an aside, i dunno about squids but i wonder if the same lack of focus and overabundance of trying too hard is what is causing such angst in his main corp. ---

Nobody gave me a verbal beatdown, and as far as shrill, I'm not the one screaming to try to distract from one undeniable fact.
A significant majority of ALL of Noirs kills are 0.0 and low sec kills on non war targets.
So where is the truth to the claim that they are professional mercs who stay on contract?

well Brea, i got bored and since we don't stay on contract anyways did a lil number crunchin, started by hand, then i realized i have a computer :)..
Noir. has:
1715 kills (61.27B damage done) to 359 losses (12.97 damage recieved) ON CONTRACT
1682 kills (72.98B damage done (blame aleks killin carriers with invicta )) to 695 losses (28.68B damage recieved) OFF CONTRACT
so that is 50.49% of our kills (45.64% damage done) to 34.06% of losses (31.14% damage recieved) ON CONTRACT which if you look carefully means we really dont give a crap about off contract stuffs but once a contract starts up, or when it isnt some lame dockupski contract, we are at the top of our game and constantly improving our tactics and employing new ones.
as to other merc corps, we only go after them if it is a legitimate contract, and we tend to prove our worth in those aswell: Neo Spartans - 70% eff.; REPO/Intan (combined contract) 88%
also if you take a look at our contracts, we have had a great number of Lowsec and 0.0 contracts and we do operate NBSI so while things are slow other things tend to die. along with the training operations and providence ops/roams we do i'd say that we stay on contract pretty well, aswell as the fact that noir. has taken many.. shall i say "interesting" contracts just to see what we can do (Hedion comes to mind) tends to point to the contrary of everything you say about us. so get a life and dont make me do maths again :(

3: There are a significant number of people who claim that NOIR is simply fantastic, yet the guy who runs the website/blog quit, as well as FU22 and Taram, so whats that all about. I know I probably wouldn't quit a fantastic, prolific, impressively significant mercenary corp.
Why did I leave?
Many reasons. Biggest one is that I've been doing the merc thing for a long time now and I missed living in 0.0. Even so I never went back because I detest pos warfare and hate trying to defend sov space and absolutely LOATHE huge blue lists. So the huge napfests in 0.0 pretty much guaranteed I wouldn't find my style of PVP in 0.0... so I stayed in empire, lowsec, and the occasional 0.0 contract (which were always my favorite) as a mercenary. No pos warfare (other than knocking down the occasional pos as part of a contract) and no sov nonsense.
However, fighting in empire, while challenging at first just to learn all the tricks people will use on you kind of gets a bit old after a while. Fighting in lowsec is a lot of fun but when you're constantly worried about your sec status you really can't get tooo into it... that and I hate going flashy anyway. So for various reasons I have always... always... preferred 0.0 to empire/lowsec. Not to mention that nothing, absolutely nothing, gets your blood pumping like flying in 0.0 does. Knowing that at any moment you could hit a bubble camp and dying. Knowing that everyone out there is shooting at you... etc.
So when the opportunity came along to join a corporation in 0.0 that shares my feelings (no pos warfare, no sov nonsense, just fun pew pew with very very few blues)? I took the opportunity. I'm glad I did but it was a very tough decision to leave Noir.
As to FU22? I remember when he left: He wanted to do more piracy than he could in Noir. Since Noir. has to be able to operate in all systems, including 1.0, we always had to watch our sec status carefully. FU22 left because he wanted a bit less restrictive PVP than merc life could give him. It's not a big deal really... Merc life isn't for everyone. It takes a LOT more patience than any other form of PVP in the game, bar none. And it's more restrictive than any other form of PVP as well.
As to Ender? I knew he'd most likely leave when I did. He originally joined because of me and I had a feeling that once I was gone it wouldn't be long before he headed back to 0.0 (same reasons as me, though he doesn't mind sov nonsense as much). Why he joined goons? I have no idea... but hey it's a free world... mostly.
Bottom line: Those of us who left left because we wanted to do something else in the game, at least for a while. Who knows... I could wind up back in Noir. one day. I certainly didn't burn any bridges when I left :) The guys are like family to me... leaving was a tough tough decision. But it was something I needed to do, for me.
That's my honest answer. Take it how you will.

IÆve had some recent dealings with NOIR. and found them to be competent Mercenaries that carry out their work in a mostly professional manner.
They claim in their Evelopedia entry to be ôwidely recognised as one of the best, if not the best, mercenary unit currently operating in the EVE universe today.ö
My biggest suggestion towards them achieving this would be to reduce the small amount of smack aimed at target corps/alliances to zero.
