101 Podkills in last 24 hours in an 0.9 system in Verge Vendor. Is there a war on, or have the Dev's turned off the turrets there?

Edited by: Tribe Overture on 28/10/2004 10:05:04 Istvaan and his crew of "mercs" have been hired to play slap fight with us because another corp doesn't like being undercut. I wouldn't even call it a war because they are the worst group of mercs IÆve ever encountered. All 6 of them(sometimes, usually around 2 - 3), camp Tourier 1 and get pod kills on alts in Ibis's.
They are winning, for sure.
Edit: Posted with the wrong character, oh well.

Would you rather have it that your alt spies get to sit around and gather intel? In a team effort I podded a velator yesterday to make his main undock. Surprise surprise, the Dominix undocked shortly after.

Tribe, as long as we're listing accomplishments, we've been at war with you for barely over a day or two, and you've lost an Apoc with some mighty fine loot, five cruisers and two interceptors, as well as countless non-rookie frigates. Already traitors in your ranks offer us aid in exchange for sparing their ships, such as locations of pilots in space for us to hunt down and kill.
As for you calling us the worst mercs you've ever encountered... you haven't encountered any, and being the victim of our attacks, you aren't really in a position to pass judgement on the quality of our killing of your people.

So let me get this straight, there's 3-6 of them active, 130 of your allies, and you're still getting owned?
Messing with a rich corp set out to harvest as many corpses as possible is generally a bad idea, g'luck with your next corp ________________________________________________________

When most of the members in the corp are still on their 2 week trial, this shouldn't be shocking. 
We're waiting for our allies' war declarations to go through, then we'll have some fun. 
As of now, I believe that the kill count on our side is 4 interceptors. 1 of them is thanks to our good friend Tetsuo Shogaatsu accidentally shooting a neutral and getting ganked by CONCORD .
Still, not a bad killcount for a group of miners who are having to fire their first shots ever at someone. We're having fun, I'm sure Istvaan's group is having fun, so please don't smack unless you're directly involved in the war. 
P.S. This war isn't affecting our production side of the corp at all, seeing as how we never even have to undock to produce. Let's see how long your employers can pay 500m/week for 
P.P.S. Regarding the spy thing: We're in TOURIER. Wire my ISK to Eldred Jonas, please. Thanks.

I'm sure someone will post up your losses here in a few seconds as well. Those ships were all insured, our losses in terms of isk are nothing. We're a very wealthy corp. You think you're going to get us to disband and fall apart, but there is no reason we would ever do so. We'll see what you have to say after tonight.

Getting owned? How are we losing in any way? I have actually made money from this "war", and I'm the one being attacked. They camp Tourier 1 and get to kill newb ibis's 90% of the time. If they kill anything else, it's when we organize attacks... some we have done well with, some we havent.

Is that the mining/production corp definition of 'serious fight' whereby the odds are between 6:1 and 8:1 in their favor? I know anything less then 4:1 in their favor is considered ganking. -------------------------------------------- CONCORD: Kneecapping Pilots for Misdemeanors Since 2003 |

Yes, I'm sure the CEO can't afford the loss, seeing as how you're being totally ineffective at preventing them raking in money. For the most expensive merc corp in eve you're doing a pretty poor job.

Quote: War lasting a long time is not a bad thing in our books.
Since you've been a paid a flat fee, a long war should be a bad thing in your books, since your hourly profit goes down with every second that ticks off the clock. Eventually, your pilots will tire of fighting for no ongoing rewards and lose interest. In the flat-fee situation, a war of attrition and harassment works in your victim's favor; all he has to do is wait you out.
Agreeing to a long engagement for a flat fee is short sighted, and strikes me as poor leadership.

not ALL people base their decisions on money. perhaps istvaan is doing what his corp has asked him to do? 
there is a fine, but dissasterous line between a fart and a shart. i suggest you make sure which side you want to be on... |

Since you've been a paid a flat fee, a long war should be a bad thing in your books, since your hourly profit goes down with every second that ticks off the clock. Eventually, your pilots will tire of fighting for no ongoing rewards and lose interest. In the flat-fee situation, a war of attrition and harassment works in your victim's favor; all he has to do is wait you out.
Agreeing to a long engagement for a flat fee is short sighted, and strikes me as poor leadership.
not ALL people base their decisions on money. perhaps istvaan is doing what his corp has asked him to do? 
there is a fine, but dissasterous line between a fart and a shart. i suggest you make sure which side you want to be on... |

Yep, that's the point I was trying to make.

Edited by: Istvaan Shogaatsu on 29/10/2004 15:28:54 Wow, carebears can be pretty dim. Ever consider that we play this game to fight wars, and getting paid for it is just icing on the cake?
Anyway, ruro of Cold Fusion Inc. We're not paid to "prevent them making money", we're paid to shoot them until they die. Thank you for your description of us as the worst merc corp in Eve, as coming from an ally of our target it is the greatest indicator of our effectiveness we could ask for.
Oh, p.s.:

So like you were hired to come fight this merc corp, but when it came down to actual fighting, you ran from the battlefield leaving your mate to die and lose his battleship to us? Thought you wanted a fight, not to show off your rear engines.

i understand that. what i was saying was: "what if it's not a business decision based solely on financial gain?"... agreed that it is not a wise decision for the corp if they are out to profit financially. but, if they are simply out to gank the other corp, then a long engagement (plus the fee) is definitely a good decision...

I fail to see how you can "shoot them until they die" so long as they are making money to easily replace any losses you can inflict...i mean the only thing you can do is cost them ship/clone cost and so long as they make more money than that, i don't see what the point is...i mean sure, you are annoying to some, but where is the "OMG WE HAVE TO DISBAND" feeling supposed to come from? I would think that, should the war drag on indefinately, eventually you'd lose more money than your flat fee originally gained you. After that point you'd actively have to spend money to keep up the war effort, where as YF only fights you when they feel like it, and if you start totally owning them all, they will just quit undocking their mains, and still make money just like they always did...
YF's main objective in this game is to make money, having people to fight when they get bored is just icing on the cake... |

When most of the members in the corp are still on their 2 week trial, this shouldn't be shocking. 
We're waiting for our allies' war declarations to go through, then we'll have some fun. 
As of now, I believe that the kill count on our side is 4 interceptors. 1 of them is thanks to our good friend Tetsuo Shogaatsu accidentally shooting a neutral and getting ganked by CONCORD .
Still, not a bad killcount for a group of miners who are having to fire their first shots ever at someone. We're having fun, I'm sure Istvaan's group is having fun, so please don't smack unless you're directly involved in the war. 
P.S. This war isn't affecting our production side of the corp at all, seeing as how we never even have to undock to produce. Let's see how long your employers can pay 500m/week for 
P.P.S. Regarding the spy thing: We're in TOURIER. Wire my ISK to Eldred Jonas, please. Thanks.
This is what i get for wishing you luck in your next corp? How rude

Saying we're expensive doesn't imply we're the best, merely that we cost way more than the next guy. We leave labels such as "best mercs" to our clients to use in reference to us if they're happy with our work.

To put the stupid flaming aside, yes and we did lose a scorp. But that happens in war. I'm not too worried about whether GHSC will lose ships because it will happen. And once all of our peeps are under -2.5 sec you'll see. Only way to combat gankers is with gankers , going to be interesting to fight ya'll.

Oh I know. GHSC just lost a Raven to CK under the funniest conditions imaginable. We accept ship loss as inevitable, even though that was the first battleship we ever lost. Only reason I brought it up, is because YF made a big stink of us losing 3 interceptors on the first day of war.

Edited by: Istvaan Shogaatsu on 30/10/2004 04:10:26 The only ship I lost to YF was destroyed by a mega pulse laser. As far as I know, trial accounts can't train to use mega pulse lasers in sufficient time before their trial runs out.
The battleship which the mega pulse laser belonged to was destroyed a half hour later.
We just had an amazing battle with Clankillers and elements of YF during which I lost one of my favorite battleships but had a good time nonetheless. Only four favorite battleships remaining now. Good fight guys.
p.s. Posters criticizing the Guiding Hand should make sure that they are not a faceless meaningless nobody alt character from a corporation previously devastated by the Guiding Hand. If you find yourself in this position, the correct course of action is not posting flames regarding the Guiding Hand, but rather, drinking deadly poison.

Edited by: Raem Civrie on 30/10/2004 19:39:14 While Yulai Financial does have alot of newbies and altcharacters, especially after the war started, a few of them have battleships and the appropriate skills to outfit them properly. Hell, anyone who has played EVE for any length of time should know that in-game skills don't really matter that incredibly much, they're more of an addition to player skill, and they seem to have at least half-way competent allies.
Oh, by the way, I'm a 13 year old pre-pube buttermonster that listens to Backstreet Boys when no-one is looking. My favourite hobby, besides griefing people in EVE, is dressing my Malibu Barbie up in a short skirt and tube top, and then peeking up her skirt. I then ********** and cry myself to sleep because I have no friends. |

Some people wonder why the Guiding Hand Social Club, as a mercenary corporation, gets away with charging what to most are obscene sums of money. Some wonder out loud, and the only answer they usually receive is that "we provide services other mercenary corporations don't" - quite vague and non-descript.
While our contract war raged in Tourier, and ships fell on both sides, a single dedicated Guiding Hand operative was nowhere near the melee. Rather, he dwelled in the far-flung Delve region, in system 39P-1J - there, he busily operated his microwarpdrive-laden recon frigate's sensor arrays with the finesse of an artist.
Days prior, we had infiltrated the forums of our target in an attempt to gather intelligence. The infiltration was facilitated by a helpful traitor among the ranks of Yulai Financial, who was all too eager to sell his corpmates for thirty pieces of silver. It is there that we found out about star system 39P-1J as a mining operation centre for our contracted foes. Never being ones to pass up the chance for some creative terrorism, we sent our master of reconnaissance to the system - and there it lay, what would soon be our prize. A miner-studded Megathron battleship belonging to Aliksr of Yulai Financial, surrounded by a small but effective fleet of mining cruisers. The very heart of Yulai Financial's economic growth.
The safespot where the ship dwelt un-occupied was easily the most difficult our operative has ever had to track down. Under normal circumstances, the Guiding Hand only uses its safe spot locating talents in direct combat, attempting to pin down enemies who fled burning and battered to carelessly chosen refuges. On this day however, the still-beating heart of YF would be torn from its chest.
The Megathron and its precious equipment is ours now. The mining fleet lies ablaze and shattered. No insurance compensation. Only one less mighty machine supporting our foe, and one more prowling warhound, which now stalks the spacelanes under the banner of the Guiding Hand.
Guiding Hand Social Club - because it's the little things that count.

We've had some hot fights with GHSC so far, and plan to keep it up . I like to keep the flames down as most fights have been relatively even, cept the raven loss in Rebelier . The tank setup he had still did pretty well given the situation. Ship losses have happened on both sides so far and this war has been pretty damn fun so far. See ya on the battlefield GH .

While it is quite an accomplishment to track down a safe spot in a system, you never cease to amaze me in how much you underestimate YF. "It is there that we found out about star system 39P-1J as a mining operation centre for our contracted foes." - Are you a moron? This is Delve we are talking about. It is controlled by FA. The mining OP in question was started by myself, and 3 other YF members... FOR FUN. It has nothing to do with our corporation, or our corporationÆs income. This was the first time we had ever gone into 39p to do this. Don't act like it was some super secretive mining operation, and now we are ruined as a corporation. At least 99% of the mining done in our corp is done in the empire. This was something we tried for fun, put on hold until the FA/CFS conflict is over. While it is commendable that you were able to track down our spot, you havenÆt had an effect on YF's income in any way.
"Mining fleet"? BS aside, we had 3 ospreys and a industrial ship. Not really a fleet.
The next thing is the infiltrating of our forums you speak of. Give me a break Istvaan, you and I both know that a few GHSC members have access to one of our chat channels through a forum we mutually browse. You are not espionage l33t hackers.
Again, props for being able to spend a few hours and track down a safe spot, but do not try to play it off like you have just ruined YF. Has our member count dropped once since this "war" started? Nope. Keep checking, and let me know when it does.

2004.10.30 08:35:00 RefID:1799931003 This is an automated message. The contract for ship insurance you made for a Osprey from 2004.10.22 04:03:37 to 2005.01.14 04:03:37 is considered invalid because the ship is not your property it belongs to DigitalCommunist. Due to this no payment is being made for the reported destruction of this ship.

you may wonder why him, well hes an old corpmate, and he was near the area so i asked him to. big deal.
anyways, with the large accommodation and tech 2 rechargers, and the ships, you guys lost around 160mil in cold hard isk.

This war is all in good fun, because EVE is a game.
Like it was said, GHSC was hired by an unkown coporation, we have doubts it is a rival corporation we have undercut somewhere on the market. Warlords have also declared war on us in retaliation for hiring 2 merc corps to defend ourselves, This is the story from my point of view, not the corp's oficial word
Its been an entertaining war, I didin't get attacked once since it all started, luckily

Really? Who left? I don't see anyone as gone.
You really need to shut the hell up with your "YF will fall, it is inevitable" bull****. You havenÆt affected us at all, and our corp laughs on a daily basis at how funny this "war" is, because it has done nothing. You take this game much too seriously Istvaan, again let me say, this GAME. You have not stopped our income, you have not split YF in half causing our members to flee, and you have not won anything. Get over it.
Fun was had, and there were some awesome battles, but you really need to quit taking this crap so seriously. It is almost creepy.
I really wish you would have a wakeup call and realize nothing you do is going to complete your goal of YF disbanding. It will NEVER happen. We are too rich, and too unaffected by this joke of a war. You started a slap fight with us, and assumed you would win because we would have no idea what to do and bow down at your mighty presence. You successfully blew up the ships of a corp which is 90% composed of newbs, and yet.. we blew up yours as well. Last I checked, you guys ran away and havenÆt returned.
I have already embarrassed myself enough by humoring you in this thread, and actually replying to your propaganda. IÆm done with it after this post.
Get over yourself Istvaan. No one really cares.

See? He's good at it. He already got to you.
Yes, we were "routed" once, by a force consisting mainly of Clankillers and their friends. Your own representing member, a-something, had his strangely outfitted Megathron disintegrated, although I must say that the 6 nosferatu he used was probably the only way to properly break through the tank Istvaan was using. We retreated to rally and reform our group, then waited for the suitable moment to engage again. Suffice to say, that moment never came, and while we enjoyed that battle enormously, we've since decided to hunt down the real bulk of YF outside of Tourier, while a portion of our forces remain to maintain a siege in case we need it. But it's been quiet, I'll give you that.

Edited by: Istvaan Shogaatsu on 01/11/2004 15:16:44 Well Raem, the chief reason why it's quiet, is that Yulai Financial's average online numbers have fallen from around 15+ at the start of this campaign, to barely over 5 at a time - just goes to prove that while you can crap out a ton of alts to pad your member count, you can't fake activity all that well.
edit: Oh, Tribal? You can't really play the "we're a corp full of newbs" and the "we're too rich to be affected" cards in the same paragraph all that well either.

Strangely outfitted thron...I like that...but I am the originator of that setup and it works strange or not...It did help to take down an apocolypse and a raven before it went down with the raven did it not?...and also...its a cheap setup...can't cry over losing a handful of nosfers. |

It turned out to be a very appropriate setup for the situation - had you equipped it as a blasterthron, I would have laughed at you from behind my infinitely sustainable, non-capcharge-dependent armortank. Instead you chose the one surefire method which would shut down my favorite battleship. Good kill.

And yes, I am an ore thief, but thats nowhere near as bad.

Yeah, that was IstealOre. I think we have about 100 of his corpses. No financial loss on his side, of course, but it gave us something to do during the camp-ins. Plus he's the only YF so far that doesn't try to smacktalk us. Yulai Financial's main rhetoric against Warlords (since they realized we weren't responding) was their german base. Called them ****'s (german nationalist party c.a. 1940) and stuff like that. Good job, YF propaganda chiefs.
Come back, IstealOre. I miss you.

OK this is just getting lame. I can honestly say that Guiding hand do little of the smacktalk in local. It is YF and warlords mostly.
YF are some of the biggest smackers i have come across in my time. You had to hire clankillers to fight for you, but then to go around smacktalking, instead of just keeping quiet and getting on with it, you have turned this situation into a joke.
As for Warlords. Certain members of this corp are also smacking n00btards who need to learn to grow up, or actually win a fight before telling u they can own u.
to YF..
We now have 2 corps to fight for you. Think about where your smacktalking is getting you..
to Guiding hand..
Good fights so far (even though i missed the tourier battle ). No smacktalk either, lets keep it that way.
to Warlords..
War begins sometime tonight i think. I expect lots of smacktalk from you guys. Lets hope im wrong

Thanks. If it weren't for Clankillers' involvement, this war would just be another exercise in drudgery, but instead we've had numerous explosion filled battleship engagements. You guys are good fighters and probably the only reason YF still clings on to hope.
I can't get over how many merc corps they're throwing at us though, and then talking **** as if they're doing most of the fighting themselves. Their story seems to change by the minute as well, first they're a innocent doe-eyed newbie corp being harassed by cruel griefers, then stating they're too rich and powerful to be affected by gnats such as ourselves. This war is great fun, and I foresee it growing even larger soon.

Not alt corps.
Most of the corps who declared war to GHSC did it because each of them has a few trigger happy members, who saw this as a good opportunity to fight. With JQA avoiding a fight unless they have an overwhelming superiority, in numbers or ship size, some saw this as...refreshing.
But for most of us, so long that we're not threatened, this war is rather like an option than a necessity. That way, everyone is happy. GHSC isn't overwhelmed (at least not too badly), and the trigger happy members have what they want.

Ganking n00bs and fighting real fights. Wooohoo.
