Wow.
Well, my personal opinion (and not that of Noir ) is that:
Maru Kage will have serious issues trying to hire any competent merc corp in this game ever again. Its a close knit business and everyone keeps tabs on everyone else- we might have to fight them next week on contract after all.
An alliance not being able to afford 4.9 bil is very odd. I would expect foul play from the outset but its best to give people the benefit of a doubt here.
Personally, i think it would be perfectly justified to scrap our R&R and take a pro bono contract out on Maru Kage. But then I've had to resist the urge to pounce on every blue ratter meandering round the target area without a scout so i guess I'm not being entirely rational there.

Originally by: Doddy Losing a raven hull does not inflict 120mil damage on the target unless the pilot forgot to insure it (unlikely, esp in 0.0) and if i was hiring mercenaries on a damage dealt basis i would want that taken into account(and would say so)
Okay, looking at that as an aside,
Contract was for 50% of damage done. I can see what you mention being an issue is we were after 100% of damage done.
Further, every Noir. loss is a Tech 2 ship to the best of my knowledge, so we don't ever get insurance in situations our victims will. If you subtract our losses (+10% to represent market fluctuations and ammo use) from the 50% of damages done determining payment the figures are considerably smaller; by about half MK's 2bn Merc budget if i recall correctly.

Although I am now curious. Anyone in the third party business care to chime in and inform the masses about what kind of (probably very reasonable) service fees and percentages they charge for such an arrangement?
Its the weirdest franchise in EVE for sure, in a game where no-one trusts anyone. I'd love Chribba to write an article about his business sometime.

I wonder if he will back that up anything more than baseless accusations. People so rarely do when smacktalking Noir.
RE: KB
Inconsistencies are introduced when you consider shiny faction stuff. I believe a Tengu was popped in the contract that was worth over a Billion isk in damages alone.
The KB values, i believe they are taken fromm EVE central.
You can hear all about how our KB is linked to EVE central in

Conflict resolution:
Aleks plumped for a reduced fee as MK were too poor to stump up the full value.
Professionalism:
In the context of merc work, which is least professional:
1.) Letting a contractor get away with breaking a contract.
2.) Negotiating a reduced fee as the contractor cant afford to pay what he owes as he didn't follow protocol that was outlined in the contract very clearly.
Post with your main/Corp tickers on etc...

I am just commenting on what happened in the initial exchanges, that's all.
I think you should read the whole thread and comment on more than initial exchanges.
Of particular interest is a post by Taram somewhere that highlights the relevant clause('s) in the contract that are particularly relevant.

You seem pretty personally invested in establishing that Noir. are evil, evil extorting unprofessional Mercenaries Nema.
Would you like a hug?
