I've said it before and I'll say it again - if any single Providence holder would like to fight U'K without the holding hands of the rest of the Bloc, we would accept the challenge with relish.
However, for whatever reason, this challenge is yet to be accepted. Though I think we can all guess the reasons with some accuracy. But it stands. I ask any holder to put their ships where their mouths are, and accept it.
I was unaware of this open challenge, but out of curosity, what kind of fight are you even talking about, a 20 on 20 man fleet, 30 on 30, 40 on 40 etc.?

You temporarily remove yourself from the ProvidenceBloc, that means no more shared channels or joined fleets, and with the open agreement of no interference from the other holders and CVA (this would have to be confirmed by them publically, as a matter of honour), Ushra'Khan will then assault your space.
If you lose, you are evicted and can say goodbye to 0.0 life (and likely CVA will just install another holder, but we'll enjoy ourselves, so who cares).
If you win, you get to keep your space.
Let's call it an 'Alliance 1v1'.

So basically "You lose and you lose everything, you win and we give you props."
Well, I can't even imagine why that challenge has yet to be taken. It's ridiculous and obviously only exists so as not to be taken: This way UK can further boost it's own ego by claiming it's just because they're so good, instead of because there's absolutely nothing to gain by someone else taking it.
I am in awe of your cunning.

You have greater numbers in your alliance and all the advantages of defensive structures like POS, Jump Bridges, and Cynojammers. Not to mention basing in your home space for ease of logistics.
If you won't accept the challenge, it's not because the challenge is unfair - it's because you are weak.
Also - this challenge stands in reverse too. If you would like to try to assault our space without the interference of our allies on a 'Alliance 1v1' basis, we would gladly accept, on the same terms.

I understand the deliverance project perfectly well.
I am simply offering a challenge to silence the mouths of your holders who would doubt our strength and resolve. There is no holder our equal. Although, I will say, the CVA themselves are of course a competent fighting force. ----------

Excuse me while I check in on this cause all of this testosterone is I am sure making MYLADYOFFIRE (new head of Sylph as I have found out) quite randy I am sure.
I pose a question Butterdog you of the Ushra'khan warriors. Now that you have space, Is Sylph or CVA or the Provibloc coming in and cloaking up in your systems and disrupting and terrorizing you way of life? Have they taken the offensive against you in any way? Are they bubbling you in or locking you in your systems like a jump bridge prison, disrupting your very way of like and attacking towers and outpost structure?
To CAV PROVIBLOC AND SYLPH. Why the hell arent you? or are you just running on the defense as usual allowing UK to dictate the terms of your battles. From what i am observing on the outside all the boasts of we dont want space you dont have space for us to attack or disrupt seems to be mute.
Ushra'Khan now has space it is time Sylphilous (to me they are not Sylph) puts there blaster where there mouth is and do unto others as they have done unto them. or just pack up and hand over there space to someone who is willing to OWN it and not just occupy it.
End result and i need to shower after this cause I suddenly feel dirty
Ushra'Khan WIIINNNNNS THEEEEEE USHRA'KHAN WINS!!!!!!!!!

that doesn't make any sense, why would anyone forsake hard won allies to make things easier for ones enemies?
Butter Dog, you want them to die then take them out. If you can't do it then aim for something in your ability to do.

Look, it's really very simple. It's called 'making a point'.
Some Providence holders claim they could match U'K combat ability. I refute that, and they claim I am wrong. So, I offer a challenge to any holder who thinks this - an offer for them to put their money where their GalNet posturing is. To prove what they claim.
Unsurprisingly, no holder has accepted the challenge. We all know the reason for this - every holder knows that U'K would crush them if they tried to stand alone.
I'm afraid that no holder can claim to have strength, all the time they hide under the skirt of the CVA when something a little scary looks their way. ----------

Hmm interesting. Worth thinking about. And Butter Dog is right, since there has never been a time where a Uk fleet has been able to engage just one of the provi alliances (except maybe CVA) there is no true way to know. Although, I have seen battles where holders have matched numbers.

Fair enough. though I thought a major point of the Deliverance Project was to bring together vast numbers to make mutual protection a reality. Nothing to be ashamed of, indeed it seems to be a success?
besides any Holder who did accept the challenge is an idiot, everyone knows UK have some very skills commanders and pilots and in general the holders are not know for their specific combat acumen. Which makes them even smarter for working together to out power enemies they can't match in technology or experience. |

Yes, you are right, numbers alone are a valid tactic, and they do indeed work in some circumstances. There is a critical mass above which individual pilot skill hardly matters.

I will not deny that U'K is skilled, man to man they are quite good at what they do, even if what they do is in itself quite mindless and destructive. However, consider a scenario.
A small, incompetent man challenges a much larger, stronger man to a fight one on one, instead of the small man against the large man and his allies, as is usually the case. The deal is simple: The large man says he can beat the small man one on one. The small man says that he can't. So they should fight, and if the small man wins then the large man goes away and never returns to the bar he and his buddies drink at again. If the small man loses, the large man doesn't have to leave.
The large man (Assuming he had a brain) would never take this deal. Why? Because no matter how small the possibility of him losing, if he loses he loses everything and if he wins he gains nothing.
This scenario does not represent the current situation. It is in fact two tough men, the challenger at least equally and likely more skilled than the challenged. The challenged has a good chance of losing, and if so will lose hard. He has no incentive to agree to the fight, other than to prove a point.
Proving a point is an ego thing. As such, if the challenger wants the man to view gaining an ego boost then the challenger should offer only losing some respect as the loss.
To put it more simply: If Ushra'Khan wishes to fight someone on those terms, then they should make it just that: A fight, not a war. Schedule fleet battles, and the winner gets credit as being the superior combatant while the loser is known to all as using their mouth more than their guns.
Since Ushra'Khan is so confident in winning, these terms should be totally acceptabl. That they're not insinuates it to be indicative of soemthing.

Yes, it insinuates that although you talk hard, you're soft and just scared to fight alone. As long as you can hide behind CVA you'll talk big and do nothing. The challenge was made. Accept it or just say what is in everybody's mind: You are afraid to go on 1 vs 1 against U'K, knowing full well that you are not a match for our warriors. Alone you will crumble, just concede to the truth.
Anyway, except for CVA, I wouldn't trust any of the Holders to keep their word and not just ask for Provibloc support, even in a prearranged fight. Cowards never step up to a challenge if they can't make sure the numbers are on their side. In your case, that means at least 4 to 1 vs U'K.

Edited by: progodlegend on 30/09/2009 06:37:17 I was also unaware of this fear of Uk you are talking about, but once again I can not judge because there has never been an alternative to the current circumstances. However the previous poster is right, the current deal of:
If you lose, you get evicted from your space If you win, you get to return to the same conditions for you agreed to the deal, therefore gaining nothing.
Is not a very good offer.
Come on, what does Uk have to offer to sweeten the deal?
Butm yes I am aware you made the same offer on your space, which I find interesting and must admit that is tempting. But once again have to ask, what the conditions of such a victory would be, do we have to take over a system? all the systems? some systems? just stations?
In the mean time, I see no reason why not to have scheduled fights, even if they are just for fun. No reason you can't drop all that **** talk and agree to a scheduled fight for a fun and constructive fight on both sides win or lose.

Is it reasonable to come into someone's home, attack their ratters (honorable combat indeed), and expect an "equal" response force? As they say, if you find yourself in a fair fight then someone did something wrong. We see, and expect, no different when roaming HED-GP, F4R, or other hostile space. "Fair fights" are a luxury in eve, not the standard. Don't get me wrong, I get much more enjoyment from even/close fights. I am merely stating the nature of the Providence area
The 4v1 thing is thrown around so much, but surely you can admit that holders do engage on equal or at the very least "non-blobby" terms daily. The UQ-PWD RR BS fight comes to mind. Yes we had more numbers - mostly interceptors and frigates - but we jumped into your formation and you had a Damnation providing gang link bonuses.

Talking about the assualt on our space: we'll request that -A- and other allies don't get involved. Just you and us, no outside help on either side.
You win by capturing our two stations and driving us out. And we shall hand the space back to -A- in these circumstances, since we would not be worthy of holding space we cannot defend from one holder alliance.

That's a pretty inaccurate statement. Those alliances have less cap ships than my lone corp, never mind a serious lack of competent FC's. There is also the fact that U'K can field much larger fleets than those entities alone.

But they know that U'K attract a more experienced, more skilled combat pilot - it is the nature of our alliance and our existence (until recently, U'K existed only for combat, and held no space).
I think we are all slightly paranoid (in a healthy way) about recruiting pilots who live only for sansha hunting rather than true combat. It is those pilots who bloat the Providence holders and cause them to be ineffectual on the field of combat. We have no wish to go the way of Cold Steel, -7-, etc - ineffectual sansha hunting alliances who's response to threat is simply a mass of numbers.
Coming from an Alliance that hides behind -A- makes this post even slightly more comical.
Alright "not kenny" you win.
I don't know why even anyone even bothers replying to you, except for the fact that you seem to make little to no sense most of them time.
I know you'll say "we don't hide behind -a-" and "we don't do what -a- tell us to do" and "we are free to do what we like no matter what -a- say".....I'm sure that somewhere deep deep down in your pod you believe it, much like i'm sure that you believe CVA are evil and that slavery is bad.
I'd tell the monkeys posting to ignore you but they generally would disregard any of that thought as they seem to get to riled up in the excitment of getting infamous.
Good Luck riling up the masses i'm sure they need something to go on about.

All I can say is LMFAO.
What a one sided bull**** deal, a person would hev to be brain dead or just plain ignorant to accept those terms.
Bitter your a fool if you think any Alliance would take that wager, the Holder guys have absolutely nothing to gain except right to say they won.
And for you to say invade your space, I dont think your -A- masters would let people just come in and take the stations / space that your renting off of them away. But wait I guess your going to tell us -A- gave you those stations / space since your such close Allies and all.
Here let me give you a loaded deck of cards and then let me tell you that if you dont play with my cards that your a loser, but if you do it wont matter because your a loser anyway. yes what a deal! I will take 3 contract to Aquinzus please.

This whole discussion is a case-study in cognitive dissonance. I suppose the next proposal is to cease strategic level conflict between the -A- community and the Providence community, break down either side by alliance, pair up alliance duels at every level, and let conquered space just sit when it's all said and done?
I suppose that makes sense if individual self-esteem is valued higher than organizational power, strategic objectives, and ideology.
Seems silly to me. And certainly cognitively dissonant.
