Ushra'Kahn = Minmatar Republic roleplayers fighting to free their brothers from the Amarr Empire as the Empire enforces slavery.
CVA = Amarr Empire roleplayers fighting to protect the last part of 0.0 that is NRDS and a bunch of other crap. Loyal to the Empire and blah blah blah.
Overall the Minmatar Republic has been treat like crap over generations and now U'K see it as their duty to free their "imaginary" people and wipe out the Amarr Empire + supporters.

We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in Metropolis, we shall fight on the asteroids and nebulae, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the void, we shall defend our ideal, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the stations, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the atmosphere and in the skies, we shall fight on the stargates; we shall never surrender, and if, which I do not for a moment believe, this ideal or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the Duty...ite() Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the Old.
also, we're the A-Team? AWESOME.

If they are pet's then doesn't it mean they need to be freed from the big bad CVA though and not hunted? I'm sorry it's just confusing, CVA has slaves who carry out work and CVA has pets who carry out work.

A long time ago, there were some very square jawed fellows who decided that they wanted to support the Amarr empire, and dedicated their gametime to doing just what they think the Amarrians would like them to do.
Also a long time ago, there were also some nutters (you know who you are) who thought that kicking the carp out of the evil nasty slaver god squaddies would be a good idea.
fast forward a few years and you have the CVA and the U'K. I feel very privileged to have been part of it. Vicarrah Tahiri Matriarch

News flash: Slavery Bad Freedom Good The North Won remember.
On a different note CVA are believers in amarrian ideals and gods and empress which includes a basis of Slavery of those lesser peoples.
Minmatars are still enslaved by Amarrians. Uhra'Khan's goal is to free their people and end slavery. Hence the natural friction of 2 role playing alliance on opposite ends.
(UNITY) UshraÆKhan originaly had many systems in providence including 9uy. CVA was cleansing Domain and Misaba area of pirates and freeing it for the amaarian empire and then came into Providence area to claim that for Amarr. Eventually the two met and being of different beliefs clashed.
UK was spanked at the time to say the least and with no space went to guerrilla tactics which is seen today.
So when looking at what side is good and which is bad is all a matter of perspective. Similar to in Star Wars does a Storm trooper actually believe the Empire is bad?

You know Mr. Manivald, to answer your questions in detail would require more time that I have available and I think that even then you would not get the gist of the rift between Ushra'Khan and CVA.
Short version is that we are not griefers by any means, and most certainly we are not terrorists. If you are genuinely interested in the schism between Ushra'Khan and CVA I respecfully direct you to read the many availabe articles here in GalNet about what has been going on between Amarr and MinMatar people.
We are Ushra'Khan and we come for our people.

The History of Amarr/Minmatar Roleplay By: DigitalCommunist
Long ago in the Before Time, the Peoples Front of minmatar was being all nice and decent when the racist pirate group known as PIE decided to attack them for being too black. The two wrestled and fought, often in compromising and lewd positions (PIE secretly enjoyed this). A third party bystander called.. well I forgot what they were called, they founded Foundation (GW) or something, anyhow.. this party wanted in on the hot, sweaty lubed action and paid PIE big money. PIE didn't like this, but was desperate to get through collage and decided to bear the shame anyway.
PFM felt PIE had betrayed its origins and PFM, and ran away in tears, eventually jumping off the nearest stargate. The remnants of PFM were collected and salvaged, and what remained decided to get a makeover, a perm and one of those hot secretary pencil skirts. PFM became UK and spent the rest of its days making PIE jealous and sad about the past. PIE couldn't bear the assault and created CVA to shield itself with the meat of a thousand newbies. Now the two are old and gray, and PIE is no longer in CVA. But senility dominates; UK doesn't yet realize this and so continues to threaten CVA and occasionally put on heavy makeup (think: "Brutors in mauve"). The rest of us silently observe the passage of time, praying for their safe departure into oblivion and the dawn of the new age. An age where Amarrs don't have to fight Minmatars for stupid reasons which are identical to those used six years ago. An age where religious white men can love brutish black giants openly, and not under the guise of conflict and roleplay.
The end..?

Snarkiness aside, it's an old conflict, Manivald. Goes back several years, and as you may have figured out by now the conflict has its roots in Eve prime fiction as considered as such to be a roleplay conflict.

Your implication is that pets fully dictate the terms of a relationship between alliances. Because we respond with hot-drops to Sylph's request for assistance, Sylph are our pets? That's a pretty amazing definition of "pet."
If they paid us for protection or for space, or if they were levied requirements to engage in combat on our behalf you might have a case. Our strategic cooperation is generally limited to "good sense" protection of allies who find mutual benefit in each-others' continued existence/success.
But none of the above exists. They respect the rules of Providence. Not many non-Providence alliances do, which makes them pretty special in our books so we extend them every courtesy and cooperation.

The weaker entity always enjoys more protection from the stronger entity in the region than goes the other way around. They might not be paying you ISK directly like in any open pet-master relationship but they pay by having to abide by CVA's rules and their pilots join in the gangs that enforce these rules. What happens if Sylph one day says "well we don't like being NRDS anymore and living by CVA rules in this area"? See, they are in position where they are not free to determine their own destiny, and hence Sylph is a pet or aka a slave alliance.

Sylph lives by NRDS rules to help CVA, but they are free to do as they wish. If they were to go NBSI, then they would be set red like all other NBSI alliances. It's just the facts; those who live by Providence rules get support from CVA, while those that don't...well, don't. It has nothing to do with being a "pet" alliance. Sylph shares the same ideals as CVA and as such is allied with them.

That's right. If Sylph stops abiding by the laws that CVA has created for Providence, CVA will start hostilities with Sylph and kick them out of region within a few weeks because Sylph is incapable of holding territory on its own. Sylph gets to live there for as long as they abide by the laws that their master alliance has set for them, laws that they have no say over. They are not equal partners in the relationship. They have not fought to take over the 0.0 that they own and earned respect from their neighbors. While holding up an appearance of being independent entity, they fit the definition of a pet very well without making any obvious ISK payouts. CVA just charges differently ;)
And by the way I've been in your alliance, Apotheosis of Virtue, for a short period of time and yes, it is a CVA pet too. One of the more useless ones though unlike Sylph.

So your premise is "weaker alliance is pet alliance."
That's a terribly limited view. By your logic, the whole Provibloc is subserviant to the greater -A- community, as they could steamroll us at any time if they wished. They've demonstrated the capacity to do so but don't...probably because they don't view us as an expansionistic threat. Using your same logic, one could make the argument that CVA is an -A- pet because we don't expand and they don't crush us and it's mutually beneficial.
And yet we're red to each other.
It's goofy logic. A pet is more than just the weaker alliance in a diplomatic relationship.

I think you mean too brown - the human race being so old now that we've all started to fade, in fact I estimate that pretty soon the Achura will become translucent.

So your premise is "weaker alliance is pet alliance."
That's a terribly limited view. By your logic, the whole Provibloc is subserviant to the greater -A- community, as they could steamroll us at any time if they wished. They've demonstrated the capacity to do so but don't...probably because they don't view us as an expansionistic threat. Using your same logic, one could make the argument that CVA is an -A- pet because we don't expand and they don't crush us and it's mutually beneficial.
And yet we're red to each other.
It's goofy logic. A pet is more than just the weaker alliance in a diplomatic relationship.
You don't see the difference do you? CVA is not dependent on -A- for protection and is not forced to live by -A- rules. Why? Because CVA is a significant enough threat that positioned itself strategically such that -A- does not consider it to be worth it their time and effort. CVA has earned its autonomy and right to self-govern and make up its own rules. Little of that applies to Sylph. If they were to go NBSI then CVA would steamroll them and they would lose all of their space because they are dependent on CVA to hold it in the first place i.e. they are a pet, an alliance that can't survive on its own.

First of all, I long for an imaginary future in which any topic that referred to "Ushra'Khan" or "CVA" didn't instantly turn into an insult contest. This is an OOC forum, so can't we all just get along?
Here is my take on the nutshell description (I'm a slightly larger nut than some, so my nutshell is a bit bigger):
HISTORY: The Amarrian Empire invaded the Minmatar Nation a thousand years ago, and enslaved the Minmatar people. About a hundred years ago, large numbers of the slaves successfully revolted and managed to free themselves, forming the Minmatar Republic. But roughly a third of the Minmatar people didn't make it out and are still held as slaves. The Minmatar people, as a whole, would understandable prefer to eliminate slavery completely. The Amarrians, as a whole, support their religeon which include a tenet of 'Reclamation' which in effect call for them to spread their religion everywhere -- through slavery.
CVA: They are at their core a roleplay alliance. From their foundation, they have portrayed themselves as loyalists to the Amarrian Empire and the Amarrian religeon and the Reclamation. Their first excursions to colonize Providence were done to try as best they can via the game mechanics to turn Providence into another Amarrian Empire region.
USHRA'KHAN: We are at our core a roleplay alliance, dedicated to freeing our enslaved brethren by whatever means are necessary. Alliance policy is decided by this. This means that we are violently against any slaver groups, including of course the Amarrian Empire and CVA. Any who are friendly to such groups earn our enmity. We call ourselves freedom fighters. Our enemies call us terrorists or pirates. Our friends call us fun to fly with.
BUT WHY THE WHOLE "RP" THING? Agreed, this is not a goal that, in actuality, can ever be accomplished -- for either side. But for many of us, there's little interest in, say, sitting on a lowsec gate and ganking every ship that comes through "just because". It is far more enjoyable to hunt down targets who have, through their choices, made themselves enemies. In the case of CVA, they deliberately chose a side through RP. In the case of others (Sylph, Sev3rence, etc), they picked sides for non-RP reasons, but that doesn't matter to us -- they are allied to the slavers, and support the slaver cause, and that's all we need to know.

The whole RP thing is all in good fun but some people tend to take the RP a little too seriously and take the rp out of the IGS fourms. I myself am not really an RP'er I just enjoy the gameplay of 0.0.
Hat's off to AAA when they bring it they bring it and you always have to remember this is a game, **** happens and then you respawn in a clone.

I see the difference. I just think your definition of what makes a "pet" is completely flawed. The whole concept of Eve encourages team dynamics...player to player, corporation to corporation, alliance to alliance. When two players, corporations, or alliances find mutual benefit, they work together to that mutual benefit. In any such pairing, there will be a stronger and a weaker partner. I think it's a terribly limited (and flawed) view to say the weaker is the pet of the relationship.
In general I view "pet" as a monicker in the same light as "blob" or "exploit" or "carebear;" so massively overused that it has lost any true meaning.
It certainly doesn't apply here.

Pew Pew.
Thats really what it boils down to, we enjoy fighting and doing the whole hit and fade thing, CVA enjoy fighting us and trapping us where they can.
Everyones happy. The whole roleplay thing gives us direction and a reason to be fighting the fight we have chosen, if we were just another non-rp (ex) space holding alliance we would have folded shortly after we lost all our space, and we certainly wouldnt have continued to pick fights with a power block that outnumbers us at least 10 to 1.
Personally, I like providence, I think its great that there is somewhere that newer players can go to get a taste of nullsec, and that alliances can go to earn some isk and get used to pvp. If those people cant cope with the occasional loss, thats their problem and one that they will need to solve. Calling us griefers is a little odd I think, especially as if we wardec you, there is a very easy solution. Renounce slavery.
We come for our people |

Now the two are old and gray, and PIE is no longer in CVA. But senility dominates; UK doesn't yet realize this and so continues to threaten CVA and occasionally put on heavy makeup (think: "Brutors in mauve"). The rest of us silently observe the passage of time, praying for their safe departure into oblivion and the dawn of the new age. An age where Amarrs don't have to fight Minmatars for stupid reasons which are identical to those used six years ago. An age where religious white men can love brutish black giants openly, and not under the guise of conflict and roleplay.
The end..?

Me thinks there is some irony in that post. If only i could figure out what it was...something about being pets of larger alliances i think.

Because RPing and PvPing are mutually exclusive?
Slightly shortsighted viewpoint there tbh, given how much fighting is done by the "lolrp" alliances it is odd that people are so willing to just pretend that we all just sit around emoting at each other in local rather than shooting. Still, if it makes you underestimate us in a fight then thats all to the good really. |

Are we not all role playing to some extent in eve. I mean after all as someone said we are getting into our space ships and flying about, mining, creating, shooting, killing. Is that not role playing to some extent.
Even if you say "well I don't deal with that whole slavery issue", you are still roleplaying. I mean really how many "Pirates" do you know in real life. So the pirates are role playing pirates. Did the members of BoB actually sit at home and plot the conquering oif central europe and vast stretched if earth. No or at least I woudl think not. However they did plan on "conquering all of Eve" so they are role playing the conquerers. And I am not even going to get into the whole dudes playing chicks thing in here, but that is a role play as well nothing like seeing a female toon giggle and blush and corp chat, only to hear the deepest bass voice come out on vent. *Chooch Shudders*
When we pick our character in the creation screen we commit to roleplaying. We all read the history of the race and what they stood for. (why i picked a hippie, freedom loving gallente) That creates our roleplaying experience. So you do not have to deal with the whole slaver vs slave issue. Just as the Caldari and Gallente pay their workers, (however my slaver hound podkill is with me as often as possible) and do not get caught up and choose to ignore the slavery issue. So do many pilots. But do not kid yourself as you run your missions shootin "rats" and mining your veld, and waiting in ambush, that you are not playing the role of what you are doing.
After reading wotlankers posts in his blogs (and for anyone who wants an idea of role really gettin ginto it I would suggest you do read them, they are awesome) I would like to think that when his alliance held a meeting to annouce they were war decking Sylph he really wasn't carrying a sword strapped to his belt sitting in his living room banging the hilt on the table. But you never know
The point is some poeple in eve mock at the roleplayers, but we all are role playing to some extent, you can not play eve without it.
