We reinforced a large highsec starbase belonging to Sylph using a battleship fleet, two days later we went back to finish the job, using a battleship fleet again and were met with a deafening silence.
Stripped of the protection of their masters, Sylph cannot muster even a token defence force against us.
We then moved on to aid in the liberation of the 2J system, again deploying an (uncloaked) fleet of battleships and were met by a mixed fleet of fleshmerchants and their many pets, but Sylph seemed very thin on the ground there as well. |

Well, due to the way that killboard work in this kind of engagement, every entity involved in that fight ended up with around 75% efficiency. However, the system is now free, massive damage was inflicted and minimal damage sustained. If you want to call that a victory for the empire, then Amarr Victor! thats the kind of win we can all get behind.
Just one minor thing, it looks like CVA did need the help of Sylph after all. Sadly Sylph were either deemed incapable of helping, or unable to attend for whatever reason. |

Not sure whats going on there, its possible that someone objects to our "chestbeating" so much that they have decided to attack our net presence. Its more likely however that whoever was supposed to pay the bill went on a bit of a tribal bender and is currently sitting in a field eating mushrooms. Or galnet is just simply unable to keep up with the Ushra'Khan.
Im sure that the problem is being attended to by trained Matari Engineers and pending ducktape deliveries will be returned to normal. |

Edited by: Xennith on 26/08/2009 17:19:24 Well, there was the recent fight for 2J. However if you want only sizeable fights where the only combatants are CVA and UK... I dont think that we've had one of those for a long time, we tend to find your "holders" mixed in the debris.
Is there any chance of an official Sylph response? I'd be interested to see one of their diplomats (if there are any left). Or should we count the sockpuppet of Dr Edart and alterego as the closest we are going to come to being graced with the presence of the ever elusive Sylphy? |

I think that I'd rather take the word of ButterDog than a man who seems to be the entire Sylph Alliance diplomatic wing, but who cannot remember his own name.
Edart seems very vocal on his hatred for UK, which is odd as our kill logs show no record of him at all. The man is an obvious dupe, perhaps his big claims hide big secrets? Perhaps instead of having all of these "sources" he in fact has a bit of a grudge and a need to talk a lot of smack? |

Your alliance are pirates, terrorists, thieves
Well, we'd be the only NRDS pirates in existance, who do not ransom people. You say terrorist where others would say "freedom fighter", and those Sylph towers were just cluttering up space, we were providing a service by removing them and putting them to good use. |

Now butterdog, you're being unfair. There were two Sylph alliance in that fight, thats an amazing turnout. |

*Another* new leader and reorganisation?
I think that Sylph have officially outsourced their combat wing to CVA now, which obviously makes it more efficient and stronger than ever, as the last fleet seen rushing to defend Sylph assets contained exactly zero sylph pilots. (A good showing by the provibloc however).
Thereagain, you can't expect Sylph to come rushing back from empire everytime we take out their hardware, there are after all, fewer Sylph in their space than Dark Taboo. |

Are you refering to the fight in 2j where after we finished with the Sylph tower (after sylph failed to offer anything but token resistance) we went and helped our allies destroy a further 2 slaver starbases while inflicting punishing losses on the combined enemy fleet (which contained no sylph (seeing a theme?)) forcing them to withdraw and letting us loot the field?
Public records show that whilst we took about 14 billion isk in damage in that fight, we inflicted about 3 times that and fufilled our objective.
Whilst this thread is about Sylph alliance and their inability to field a fleet or look after their own assets, it is nice of you to bring up a recent UK victory. I suppose its a way of highlighting the fact that Sylph's allies consider them such a waste of a standings slot that they were apparently not invited to an important fight where everyone else was. |

But once we'd done that tower, we went off and had a fight and (gasp) some ships died. |

Quote: When yall first came into 2j when it was just you guys and -a-, yall got slaughtered, and it was funny to watch, because yall didn't have effective sniper fits and it was obvious.
Well, when we first jumped into your fleet, we did take a few loses (including my rather s****ly fit Rokh which I had thankfully just insured) but then swung the fight and held the field. Explain to me if you will exactly how due to us getting slaughtered, you ran away and hid at a deathstar. Ill be interested to hear the strategic reason for withdrawing from a fight that you obviously think that you were winning. Is it because "yall" got bubbled and torn to ribbons? Thats where I'd place my money too. |

Originally by: Noonesoski I didn't say Sylph could claim victory, but I just thought it was funny where your priorities lie...
Oh really? Tell me, what are our priorities, why are they "incorrect", what should they be and why is this funny?
I suppose more importantly, why did you bring it up if you didnt think that you could use it to claim a victory? |

Edited by: Xennith on 12/09/2009 15:21:53 You seem to be a little hard of understanding.
We took out the highsec tower with little resistance and no losses. We then moved on and did something else and lost some ships to secure a victory. Those losses were more than acceptable for the victory we won and the gains made. We call this process "combat" and whilst it may be a little hard for a Sylphie to understand the concept of actually fighting, most other people seem to realise that it is neccessary sometimes.
You can focus on our losses while ignoring our gains in that fight if you wish, but dont try to pretend that you had anything to do with them, or that they were related to the Sylph tower we took down. I think that saying "yeah, we won that because later on you lost some ships to CVA et al" is frankly laughable.
As far as I can tell, you seem to believe that our priority should be minimising ship losses by refusing to undock, and consider the idea of being willing to fight quite funny. You seem quite odd. |

Edited by: Xennith on 13/09/2009 12:13:23 "We didnt want that starbase anyway"
Sadly Renntech DID want to keep it (and the other three they pulled down in system), hence why they left Sylph Alliance a week after we destroyed it, probably because there was no attempt to save it or even to fight our fleet. Its nice to see all the proxy spokespeople here, Sylph still gagging people? |
