Welcome folks. This is another installment in the Joe Show (tm).
So lets bring you up to speed. The last thing heard on Gal-Net was that Joe had abandoned Providence, and was in Highsec running missions, which did not turn out so well.
Ever since then, things have been quiet. Joe's been station trading, the few active corpmates he has have been laying low. And he's been busy training Empire Control V...or whichever one of them is required to get to V to create an Alliance.
That's right folks...The Imperial Commonwealth <I.C.> is now in The Commonwealth Federation [TCF]. And with it, the war costs went through the roof. This isn't much of a problem, since Joe also decided, at about the same time, to find a wormhole to base his alliance out of. A very nice..Class 1..Hole.
During this time, the IEEE had a setback, and named Damien McCandles director. Who, promptly kicked half of the corp who didn't have roles, and stole everything out of the corp wallet. (The sum total of...20 million isk) Right... This was, according to plan however
So now was a good time to actually let the wars drop. Let Joe 'win one' because...because there there was a plan...a nefarious plan...
Joe has been working with another corporation, and one of his most stalwart supporters, was a guy we will call 'rabbit'. I didn't know who 'rabbit' was yesterday. I've even shot at him more than once. He's since left the original corporation and joined the Imperial Commonwealth. He's the one who lead me to Joe's hole...not because he told me where it was, but because I've got a stupid...incredibly stupid... high Gallente Federation standing...and therefore have access to all Gallente locator agents...and was running one every minute or so on the poor guy once we found him outside the wormhole, until he entered a wormhole. (Thank you rabbit, that was expensive, but fun..and now I have a 45 locator chain should I need it) I've been in Joe's hole for...about a week now. Watching, waiting, until 'rabbit' said the time was right.
But I get ahead of myself. Yesterday, if you check out Dotlan, The Commonwealth Federation had seven corporations..140 pilots strong. Today, down to 3 and about 50 pilots. Yesterday, there were four Commonwealth Federation towers in that class 1 wormhole.. Today, there is one. A large Gallente tower with no modules fit.
'rabbit' was more than obliging for us yesterday. Dismembering the imperial commonwealth's Large Gallente Tower, corporate hangar, and ship hangar. The story does not have a fairy tale ending however, as the IEEE agents failed to scoop the tower due to an unfortunate hauler popping. The tower is back up...but it is without modules, without defenses, without hardeners.
At the first sign of real trouble, Joe's alliance mates started to evac. Taking towers down, some of which were successfully interdicted on the way out by friends of the IEEE...(Well, denizens of the in game channel C&P who have been following the bouncing ball). Another, one of the faceless alts of our 'friends' managed to get roles in the corporation to dismember the pos anyhow .
The latest entry on my Blog...(Google knows where 'Zedrik Cayne's Eve Blog' is). Is Joe saying he will no longer allow me to be a **** to smaller corporations anymore. So what are you going to do about it Joe? Lose half your own alliance?
I don't have access to Joe's corporation chat, otherwise there would probably be another blog post with a few choice words that I'm certain the man would be spouting.
Welcome back to the Joe Show...not dead yet! And certainly amusing. --

My RL is being...difficult at the moment :) So my normal degree of joviality and fun might be missing due to lack of sleep. It will probably return full force once things settle down.
Oh, and we have in our posession, two versions of Joe Phoenix's Drakes 'The Phoenix' (Yes, he has named, and will probably continue to name his drakes 'The Phoenix'). Stolen from the corporation hangar and pos bubble. Along with several haulers, retrievers, and a nicely fit cheetah (Sister's probe launcher FTW). Along with various other ships, pos fuel, minerals. Rabbit I think has the majority of the assets squirreled away in a random highsec station.
We here at the IEEE would like to apologize to the other members of The Commonwealth Federation for their losses. But they maybe should have researched the situation a bit further before joining. Because until Joe Phoenix steps down, or until we are no longer having fun with this, there will always be someone from the IEEE watching. And of course, periodic updates to the Joe Show (tm) as warranted. --

Having been a casual follower of the Joe Show(tm), I stumbled upon one of the entry systems to J153536 by sheer luck, and promptly entered with my covops to lurk for awhile. I logged in one morning and noticed some smacktalk in local (since when do people talk in local in wormholes?), apparently they'd been corpthieved and were pretty ****ed at the guy who had just snagged a drake and a fully loaded hauler out from under their noses. At this point my narrative intersects Zeds just before TCF decided to pack up and leave.
While sitting in a myrm and stalking an POS tower that had the forcefield down, waiting for an unsuspecting hauler to return and scoop some more modules, I noticed some combat ships belonging to a highsec alliance known for their large volume of wardecs (I won't mention them unless they want me to). I joined their fleet and we began attacking one of the towers in hopes of some of the commonwealth showing up to help defend. Unfortunately, RL interfered and I logged out on the highsec side of the wormhole.
A few hours later I logged in again and entered the wormhole with my myrm. Immediately I noticed a handfull of commonwealth ships surrounding the entrance, but especially a hoarder sitting 14km away. I overloaded my scram and MWD in an attempt to catch the hoarder, hoping to kill it as fast as possible before the hostile harb, cheetah, and rifter could do any significant damage. The hoarder went down to 3 overloaded volleys as the harb and cheetah promptly ran to highsec. I began to target the rifter as the hoarder went down, but he escaped into warp just as my lock completed. Next I began locking the hoarder pilots pod, and 20 seconds later I had popped it. At this point I noticed a lot of wrecks scattered around the entrance and began looting, leaving the hoarder wreck for last as I figured no one in their right mind would have anything of value in an afk hauler.
Apparently I didn't take into account the fact that I was dealing with Joe's corp though, and found the hauler wreck to contain a single medium amarr control tower. I immediately found someone to haul the tower out, and spent about 7 tension filled minutes guarding the wreck, prepared to pop it to keep it out of Joe's hands. They never made any attempts to get the tower back, or even to destroy the wreck. At this point I began checking the tower sites and found the one that had probably been the former home of the medium tower, with half the modules unanchored and waiting for removal. I jumped in a conveniently abandoned iteron mark III and proceeded to scoop all of the offline modules, successfully bringing them all back to highsec.
TL;DR summary: I enter a wormhole, kill some idiots, pop a guarded hauler as the guards run away screaming, and then make off with a medium control tower and a small stack of defense modules.

So your stalking someone for what seems like years because the standards and practices are not up to your well, standards while you admit your own corp is anything but a model to all of eve? Im worried for you(irl). This is getting really close to harrasment but keep it up (never seen the banhamma due to it.)

All of our other successful investigations have concluded due to the satisfaction of the IEEE. And the unsuccessful ones stopped being fun. Joe Phoenix is the gift that keeps on giving. If he had merely followed, well, *any* of the good advice that has been given him multiple times, through the multiple threads that have been dedicated to this pursuit. He would more than likely be free of this investigation.
Instead he continues to doggedly try to out-smart, out-think, out-cost, verbally foil, hide, and otherwise dodge the investigation. I will applaud him for the innate character within him that allows him to stubbornly subject himself and his corpmates (and now alliancemates) to the continued investigation. It is about the only positive character trait that he has exhibited. Otherwise he is a lying, thieving, conniving individual and poor ceo. Setting the bar incredibly low for himself, he considers the war to be 'won' when we cannot evict him as CEO.
If there were an in-game mechanic for doing so, it would have been implemented. Instead the IEEE are forced to attempt it through force of arms, corp theft, infiltration, and other means that I cannot discuss at the moment due to the continuing actions of our agents.
A simple act of Joe Phoenix, as has been discussed several times in the past, will bring this investigation to a halt. Or, should the IEEE finally find the investigation no longer fun, we will end it.
There is a choice that Joe has to make. Since he always seems to be able to provide us with enjoyment and fun one way or the other, a rational man who cares for his corpmates, alliancemates, and anyone else in the splatter zone might choose to stop the investigation. Joe is apparently not that man. Instead he is willing to beg/borrow/steal/misinform whatever meatshields he can acquire. CVA and the rest of the providence holders were his most impressive feat in that direction. But now that providence is burning, he has had to change plans. And what a change he has come to. (Just checked dotlan...he's down to 2 corporations. Pretty much cascade fail alliance at birth right there.)
Do I feel bad for Joe Phoenix...Yes. Is that going to stop me. Not yet it isn't. --

My bad.
And I would be awfully grateful AWFULLY GRATEFUL if you could remind Joe of this, as he is under the false opinion that he dunnit. And his excuse of "I dont give Manticores to WTs" doesn't stand up as he hasn't decced my corp yet. That's twice he's promised me a Manticore on completion of a dirty deed done on his behalf and twice he hasn't paid. Goodness, at this rate Zedrik will think I really AM an IC spy doing stuff for Joe for free like this!
In other news.... Did you know? That the IC allowed a 1 man corp to set up the most powerful POS in his WH? That it was twice as well armed as the strongest and around 20 times more dangerous than Joes own? And that the Sleipnir that had been sharking around doing Joes bidding and being the only actually dangerous ship at Joe's command wasn't aware that Joe kicked said corp from the Alliance on the morning of the theft of the POS? And when he went looking for the stolen ships and parts he got ****d by the station and then threatened to ragequit if Joe didn't repay the 1 billiono that the ship was worth, especially after I salvaged the lovely Pithum and other faction parts to fund my next 10 Manticores?
No?
I'm sure Joe will tell everyone this information real soon ^^

after suffering joe's lack of leadersip, scam attempts, broken promises, and uter diregard for his allies and corp members losses and safty for many months now. i can only say joe got what was comming to him. my only regret about the whole thing is the damage caused to the corps in his alliance at the time who were caught in the crossfire.

And yeah, Joe still think controlling Jita is the way to control Empire wars... Seriously!
As his excuse were: "Controlling Jita forcing the enemy to not shop there and thus not get the items or trade isk they need to get a fleet up and running to wage war against them"
so lets pin out the flaws:
No.1: You can use neut trading alts to slip past the camp
No.2: Jita isnt the only trading spot
No.3: Joe cant even control himself
No.4: Why would his wartargets ever shop in Jita? i mean, he cant kill anything large enough for anything to matter... O_o ____________________

Really? Joe doesn't give a damn about the failure of an alliance he spent (in his words) 1 billion isk to set up? An alliance down to 1 other corp now?
If ya don't like it, feck off to somewhere else. I for one am endlessly amused by it all, and Im glad Zedrik set all this up for my benefit :)

As the owner of said POS, I must admit to being greatly saddened that Battleclinic won't API-grab the kill.
Joe should have sent the alliance a mail the moment he kicked my corp. I should hope Joe repays the man. That was one expensively fitted Sleipnir.
On another note... C&P, is "Pine Fresh" really such an unreasonable name for a POS?
Oh, and Damien? Paragraphs please.

Actually, props to where props are due...the latest chapter in this has been brought to you in the most part by Damien and 'rabbit' who is Damien's friend. Who did all of the legwork. Especially rabbit who had to spend time in corp with Joe. Rabbit will receive the highest reward that the IEEE has ever offered an agent.
Rabbit has earned his pre-paid all access three day pass to the houses of ill repute in Avaux. Just two jumps from Stacmon, two from Cistuvaert and one from Aidart. Avaux is a wonderful place to get your freak on. Just be careful of the local non-professional sex worker population, as they tend to send hugs, kisses and love notes attached to antimatter and EMP.
(This promotion brought to you by the Avaux tourist bureau, the Avaux project for bringing more people to Avaux, and the ice miners of Avaux support foundation.) --
