Right now, there's an active dec against an alliance... we'll call this alliance "Blue Sky Consortium" and they have a really nice LARGE faction POS in Pimebeka at planet VII, Moon 12.
This large faction POS was fit with 24 online ECM jammers, a couple of warp scrams, a couple of webs, a single neut, and a bunch of torps - EVERYTHING IS FACTION on the tower.
So this "coallition" of mercenary alliances employed to remove this tower spent 8 hours BEATING on this thing last night. The owner used every exploit available, including hiring another merc alliance to help rep the pos (also an exploit), to no avail.
Shortly before 05:00 EVE this morning, the tower was put into reinforced for 1 day 17 hours. This means at 22:00 EVE this Wednesday, the tower comes out of reinforced.
Why am I telling you this?
Because the owner of the tower - Angelic Research and Development - quit the alliance to avoid losing the tower (also an exploit). And because there's a 24-hour cooldown period, we can't dec the corp in time to finish killing the tower. The soonest we'll be able to redec them is 20:00 on Wednesday - 2 hours before the tower comes out of reinforced - and the new dec won't take effect until 24 hours later giving them a full day to rep the tower unmolested. I CALL BULL****. Petitions have been filed, but as usual, the standard cut and paste responses were returned. I'll be pleasantly surprised in the GM's actually do something about this.
So here's the challenge:
If you're in a corp and you're bored and looking for something to do - dec these guys - Angelic Research and Development. We've done most of the hard work. The tower comes out of reinforced mode at 21:50 EVE on Wednesday. There's (loosely) about 4 billion isk worth of faction fittings on that tower you can claim as your own once the tower is destroyed.
Call your friends. Call your enemies. Call your ex-girl/boyfriend. Don't let another CAREBEAR get away with this bull****.
Solty.

Also, pirate tears jars are nearing capacity - please change for fresh receptacles soon
I don't really think he's crying about it. It's lame if a corp is using known exploits to save a tower and GM's aren't doing anything.
Quite corrent. No tears. Just making a point here. Their use of the exploit is a poor tactic in lieu of several isk-hungry griefers that would like to cash in on the modules - since we've already done all the hard work.

Originally by: Frug I will add that, unfortunately, our hands were tied. I don't think any of us are enjoying this situation.
Agreed. We don't have a beef with REPO guys in any way, shape or form.
Nor us.
It's never personal. Just business. The use of this alliance-dropping exploit, however, is just lame.

Originally by: Wotchadoin It's not he's just upset that he is not able to pew pew the POS. I say cry me a river build yourself a bridge and get over it.
That'd be a lot of tears. Post with your main. I'd love to extract them from you.
As for being upset about not being able to pew pew the pos, BZZZZT. FAIL answer. Wrong. Not upset by that at all because we -can- still pew-pew the tower. It's just going to take a little longer.

Originally by: Chaosmancer K, I might be wrong now, but isn't leaving a corp to avoid a wardec concidered an exploit? And in that case, why should leaving an alliance to avoid the war not be one?
Anyway, nice work getting the tower in the end.
Cheers mate. It was nice to see the tower go down like a cheap ***** after all that.
