Yeah I've seen the flames in other threads and tbh don't care. We havn't dec'd anyone in 2 years. Posting a killboard would be pointless.
Hire us, we'll kill stuff, then we'll post the killboard. |

I would be happy to hire you for the cost of the war dec, for two weeks, against a target with 50+ pilots. Your reward is entertaining me and producing some killboard history, which any mercenary group desperately needs. I will also lend my (meager) reputation to you and say some nice things about you here if you don't fail miserably. Send me an in game mail if you are interested.

Why should people hire you over the other merc outfits here? Are you mainly active in one timezone or are you active around most timezones? Is all the members of your alliance active and going to blow stuff up? And if you haven't dec'd anyone in 2 years why should people spend their hard earned isk on you when they can simply go to one of the other merc outfits that have been doing contracts for those 2 years you haven't? For all we know your a terrible carebear and mission running alliance who think that because they can blow up rats that they can pvp.
Putting a decent amount of information in your main post helps people taking you seriously

As a public service to the denizens of C&P, I like to hire new mercenary groups and see what happens. I recently hired DmD666 and his friends to attack the United States Army, because I thought that it was a very sad thing for an army to not be at war. Also, they seem like a fairly soft target after taking a look at their kills and losses.
Large, loses ships often and easily, should be a good opportunity for a small and new mercenary corporation.
Things started on a relatively good basis. I had a short conversation with DmD666, gave him the war dec fee, and the general instructions to go kill things. Short and to the point, which I enjoyed.
However, when DmD666 says that he has an alliance of 3-4 corporations, it isn't an actual "alliance" as defined by game mechanics. It seems to be a loose coalition of players. DmD666 said that he would put the war dec vote up immediately, and instruct his friend in another corporation to do the same.
I apologize that I do not have the name of the second corporation handy; I'm at work and don't have access to my chat logs, but will modify this post at a later time to include the information.
This meant that I would have to pay the war dec fees for two corporations. I wasn't particularly thrilled, but corp vs. corp war decs are basically free so I didn't consider this to be a major issue.
Fast forward a day. I receive a note that they have a spy in the target corporation and that the war will start soon. The news of the spy was pleasing, but no proof was provided.
At this time, I had not yet heard word from the second corporation as to the cost of the war dec. I know what the cost should have been since it is formulaic, but it is always nice to see if the other side will be honest with you.
It didn't really matter, though. Fast forward another day. The war dec for DmD666's corporation was in, but at this time the target corporation had joined the Sylph alliance which greatly increased the cost of declaring war for the second corporation. At this point, I was highly annoyed. I was not under any circumstances going to pay the high cost for the second corporation to attack an entire alliance. I let them know that I would choose a second target for the second corporation at some point, if they were interested.
The next day, I was contacted by DmD666 who said that he had another contract coming in. He also was not interested in attacking the Army, since they seem to base out of null-sec, and he did not feel comfortable flying down to engage the target in null-sec. Although he did not say it directly, the impression that I got was that he and his corporation was not interested in finishing out the week against the United States Army.
I was told at this point that they knew that the Army was going to join the alliance due to intelligence from their spy. This information was never forwarded to me in advance, and if this information was readily available the second corporation should have entered a vote as soon as possible.
He did link me to a Drake kill, however this kill was against another corp in the Sylph and not against my requested target.
At this point I let him know that his services were no longer needed and he was released from further obligations.
I am disappointed in the performance of DmD666 and his corporation and I do not recommend hiring them under any circumstances. They lack the professionalism, communication skills, and the PvP skills to be taken seriously.
Their killboard, for reference. Note that there is a severe discrepancy between this killboard and their record on BattleClinic. I know that BC often is incomplete, but if there are losses posted there and not on the corporation's personal killboard then something is suspect.
TL;DR: Disappointing performance. Do Not Hire.

Not a very fair assessment.
USAA joined a 400 man alliance as soon as the dec was announced and promptly ran for 0.0 space. Instead of dropping the dec there, COPAS pursued the dec outnumbered 50:1 and came out with a kill and a loss.
During the contract negotiation it was stated that we were not interested in nullsec conflict, so we engaged the targets that were available. Of course we did not offer proof of a spy, to do so would expose him much like your post did and we lost that advantage before the first period was over.
The killboard is new, we just started it, it pulled things from elsewhere, why or how I cannot explain, I dont know how that stuff works, but hardly our fault. You want a fair assessment, pick a fair target. A 400 man alliance war dec is hardly a fair assessment.

As a merc your understanding if of little consequence. Results are your mission, not understanding.
If you knew the mark was going to join a 0.0 (through your supposed spy) then why accept the contract if you don't like 0.0 ops? If you knew the mark was going to join an alliance why didn't your coworker corp dec immediately?
1 kill, 1 loss in the middle of a corp wide move? Seriously? Either they performed the most organized mass move or you guys suck so bad you failed to capitalize on any of their lack of organization.
BTW, every last single member of the target corp left, en masse, to 0.0 all at the same time?

We were not paid to do any of this crap you guys are talking about.
We were paid 4 million isk and given a random target picked from local to shoot for fun. By the time we got our intel, most were out of empire. The only people left were scattered around and hard to find.
We weren't paid a few hundred mil to go to 0.0 and risk ships to blobs to mount ops against this corp or alliance. We were paid four.

If you weren't interested in 0.0 fights AND you had a spy telling you that the corp was about to join a large 0.0 alliance, why did you take the job?
Its also a perfectly fare test as the vast majority of corps that don't want to fight will do things like this just to get out of the fight. How you deal with this sort of problem speaks volumes about your attitude toward your clients goals.

So whos fault is it then? As a Merc corp you live and die by your reputation and your killboard is the embodiment of your reputation.

If you honestly cant handle a corp larger than yourselves than you cant do 90% of jobs that might come your way.

The spy came after the dec, we did not have a spy in until after the dec was made, as we dec'd right away.
When we took the job, the target was empire bound, there was no intelligence prior to this as it was a SPONTANEOUS and RANDOM dec!
No it was not a fair assessment as we told the guy hiring us we would not go to nullsec. When that happend its time to renegotiate.
I cant tell you who is responsible for the killboard and how they work. Are you? We'll hire you to fix it then. As a matter of fact that killboard is pulling losses from 5 years ago and not the kills, so if anything it makes us look much worse then we are.
>If you honestly cant handle a corp larger than yourselves than you cant >do 90% of jobs that might come your way.
10v400... We did that with 1 loss... WTF over? Didnt we just handle a bigger corp? Geez...

You got 1 kill.. And that wasn't even against the target corp, so you managed NO kills against them. This is of course assuming that all your kills made it in to your killboard. From a clients point of view, no kills against the target is about as bad as it can get.
OK, so I'll stop going over the lack of kills as you did point out the target ran away to 0.0 and thats not your thing. So what did you do when you realized this was what had happened? Did you contact your client and offer them a refund? Did you offer them a free dec as their original one ran off?

Since I kind of like new merc corps and I think these guys really did get a bad deal with this dec, I'd like to hire them for a little something. Please send me a mail in game and I'll give you a good second chance to prove yourselves.
