Major PewPew The Dark Horses	Posted - 2010.03.28 16:38:00 - [1] YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED...THIS IS LONG Our story begins on March 19th, or thereabouts. The Dark Horses and Project Nemesis probe out a wormhole that opens in their home system of Uedama. In this wormhole is a completely undefended small Minmatar POS belonging to the corp "NAMELESS Heavy Industries"; member of the alliance "Important Internet Spaceship League" with an X-Large Ship Assembly array, and a couple of T3 Labs. I figure we could forum up, reinforce the pos with some Stealth Bombers, and come back and finish it off in a day and a half. Step one of the plan was finished in a relative short period of time. Reinforcing the pos with 20 stealth bombers takes little effort, and even less time. During the time we are reinforcing the pos, Shamrock1 logs in (or maybe not) and warps to his tower and begins lacing local with some smacktalk. We finally reinforce the tower, and it's max-stronted. We think "ok, 1 day 17 hours, we'll bring back the same gang, and scoop the labs and assembly arrays and that'll be that. Well...Fast forward 1d 17h, and we form up in stealth bombers. I log my covops alt in that's been at the pos for the last few days, to begin probing an exit for us to come through. Before I uncloak to launch my probes, I notice guns have been anchored on the tower. Checking the mass on the WH, I notice that getting a BS fleet larger than 5 BS in the WH wouldn't work...I decide to cancel the op and leave it at that. It also turned out that Spartan Alliance members were helping camp the wormhole once I finally did probe it. This is where the story with this WH would have ended... As I'm moving my alt to the sun to drop probes, I notice on scan: Thanatos, Archon, Orca. I think "wtf rly?" I notice theyre sitting at a POS, and warp to it. All three ships, to my surprise, are unpiloted. I mention it briefly on comms, and one pilot asks "what alliance/corp? b/c my alt corp is in an alliance that leaves shiny ships unpiloted all the time". I tell him it's Spartan Alliance and he says "no &#*!, thats who my alt corp is with....and we have a thanatos pilot in the corp". Unsure about wanting to out himself, the pilot with the alt corp in Sparta decides not to heist anything yet. Fast forward now to March 21st...The pilot with the alt corp in Spartan Alliance says "hey guys i just got made fleet commander of the Spartan Alliance mining op, wanna come crash this?" So I round up a fleet, and have the pilot who was FC warp them to the wormhole to go back home after it's already been bubbled, and we smash the entire op. The Orca cloaked on the wormhole, only to be decloaked several minutes after the fact, and killed. Smack was spewed in local mostly from the PRONS, DKHRS Side. During the above op, the infiltrator mentions on vent "these guys are waiting for us to jump into their WH, they have the carriers on standby". To which, I log my scout alt on at the pos with the carriers,and see theyre hugging the shield with fighters deployed. Realizing I wont be able to bring our fleet to a deathstar POS and survive without logistics, we toy with them for a little and move on home.
Major PewPew The Dark Horses	Posted - 2010.03.28 16:39:00 - [2] Edited by: Major PewPew on 28/03/2010 16:39:05 Couple days later, the infiltrator says "we're going to take the Thanatos tonight" or something to that effect. It's brought to my attention the carrier is fit pretty bad. It is also brought to my attention, the pilot who stole the carrier has Gallente Carrier to 1, and doesnt really have good skills to pilot it. Not thinking much of this I say, "just find a sub-WH and take it to Low sec when you get a sub WH that spawns into Lowsec". Then I think..."wait, we have a carrier--IN THEIR WH!" I pipe up over vent, and ask if any of the characters in the alt corp can fly an Orca, and sure enough there's one. I start telling him "I want you to buy this triage fit in the closest trade hub, and I'll move my char over that has all the related skills to 5 and fit it in your Orca at a deep safe." Fit gets bought a few hours later, and stored in the corp hangar in the pos until I can get my char out there. While I waited for the carrier pilot to log in, I figure I'd confuse the hell out of Sparta. I convo'd Ancient Enemy, CEO of the alliance. He knows we've been watching the wormhole for at least a week as is made evident at him waving at my alt when I log her in. I tell him I'm tired of camping the Wormhole, and that I'm only in it, keeping an eye on Shamrock1, and that if they can get him and his corp out of the wormhole within 7 days, then we won't forcefully remove Spartan Alliance from the WH. (Admittedly, I wasnt ever going to uphold this end of the agreement...lol e-honour) He agrees, and says "we'll shoot his pos now"...to which I said "oh well my guys wanna get in on it, can u put it off til 2300 on Saturday? Hey says "SURE, We'd love to work with such an excellent group of PVPers." Carrier is re-fit for triage overnight. Orca is stolen overnight. Thanatos is realized to be missing overnight as well. (lol audio in link) At this point I'm thinking I'm being trolled and that no one in game can possibly be this dumb. But I go on and schedule the op for Saturday, 2300. Saturday comes, and everyone is prepping. I convo Ancient Enemy and tell him "we'll meet up with you guys at the WH, just have someone meet us in high sec for a warp in...oh and btw, set us blue for this." He responds "ok". I form fleet with the scout I have cloaked at his pos with his carriers. Our fleet arrives at the high sec entrance, and I let them know what the go-code is to turn on these guys. I jump the fleet in, and warp us to the "hostile" tower. We shoot it for a few minutes while I gang warp the carriers of their pos with my cloaked alt. One carrier notices, and cancels warp...the other warps and I give the go code in vent. I forget to fleet the triage carrier, which was the only fatal flaw here...it led to the death of my brand new Abso :( After losing the Abso, the field concentrates fire on the thanatos, not in triage yet. I finally get the carrier in fleet, and begin repping the people taking damage. We incur only one further loss...a rook, b/c dual boxing and FCing dont go well with me. Their ships are now popping one by one--with the exception of an Abaddon. We obviusly didnt have the DPS to break them for some reason. We batphone people in as many intel channels as we can, and get more DPS and ECM on the field. We finally get ECM to the field, jam the carriers, and kill the Abaddon. The Carriers then begin repping each other. Their tanks hold for a little bit b/c people ran out of ammo, and our hauler is on the way back from amarr with more. We finally get this sorted, and the rest of the DPS we called in shows up, and the carriers die routine deaths. Final result: 2 Carriers Killed 1 Carrier stolen 1 Orca Stolen 1 WH fleet lost 1 Alliance evicted from their wormhole for being dumb TL;DR-- F U, read it...it's epic
Major PewPew The Dark Horses	Posted - 2010.03.28 19:08:00 - [3] Originally by: Kieser Soze so ur saying... u as in Solar Fleet out whitted a small group of industrial players... and ur bragging about it... that is epic... gj u should be proud (golf clap) awwww umad? also, if you did even so much as a youtube search for Project Nemesis, you'd know what the solar fleet reference is about. :D

You will be seeing me in the future and you will pay for what you did here....and trust me your payment is going to hurt a lot more irl then what this did in game you little *****. safe to say this constitutes RL threats? b/c tbh im not above petitioning someone as part of my grief tactics :D
Major PewPew The Dark Horses	Posted - 2010.03.28 20:13:00 - [6] Originally by: AnnaLynn Fox Originally by: Alex Luther Originally by: AnnaLynn Fox Originally by: Kieser Soze so ur saying... u as in Solar Fleet out whitted a small group of industrial players... and ur bragging about it... that is epic... gj u should be proud (golf clap) Don't you get it? In EVE ONLINE, when you act like a Carebear to get other Carebears to trust you, then betray them, that makes you EPIC. The more you take, the more EPIC you are, because it allows you post your deed on Crime & Punishment and receive adulation. Oh, and if anyone hints that this accomplishment is not EPIC, then that means that the person must be angry or crying, and that equals tears which are great, so the original poster is even more EPIC for getting your tears and rage. Furthermore, what I am posting here right now must also be tears and rage and anger, so they are even more EPIC! Surely, I must be a coward with lol failfit ships who have been so utterly humiliated by pirates and griefers that my rage and humiliation must be making me post this. There can be no other explanation! Oh, and to the OP, cool story bro! You mad bro? Surely, I must be mad, for there can be no other explanation! Anyone who hints that the OP might not be EPIC just has to be mad! your veiled hatred and nerd rage is absolutely adorable
Major PewPew The Dark Horses	Posted - 2010.03.28 20:34:00 - [7] Originally by: Gladys Pank Sounds like a fun weekend for you guys. LOL @ the alt trying to be funny ITT. ♥...was fun as hell. Also confirming PRONS and DKHRS are Joining WE FORM VOLTRON. PRONS will be forming the massive Voltron ****oris, and DKHRS will be forming the Cumbersome Voltron Girl-Wiener.
Major PewPew The Dark Horses	Posted - 2010.03.28 23:16:00 - [8] Originally by: Pentinor I was expecting this to be epic, but I left disappointed. >.> O and I thought your go code was pretty fail. Shoulda been something along the lines of Operation Tauntaun sleeping bag is a go tbh. ur lucky there was a go code. Last time we did this, there was none :D
Major PewPew The Dark Horses	Posted - 2010.03.29 00:23:00 - [9] Originally by: seany1212 Good read, from the sounds of it well worth the abso loss if you gained the carrier and orca not to mention the faction loot, fighters, and cap mods the carriers dropped. Well worth the Rook and Abso loss imho.

Major PewPew The Dark Horses WE FORM VOLTRON	Posted - 2010.03.29 20:43:00 - [13] Originally by: scutternut Pew pew and crew, Good work on the epic win. I will give credit where its due. why thank you Originally by: scutternut Talking about about a dead ex corp mate, that was a step below. If your going to be happy about a greif or pvp setup or epic theft... thats fine mate, you got us good. Leave " dead " pilots outta this... That kinda crossed a line. Me, crossing a line? I would never do that. I'm still petitioning for account sharing with the dead. Originally by: scutternut Grats on the Kills and thefts, but for shame on the dead person comments in local... That was kinda wrong. Oh, and while we are there... Connie ( Sonadia ) would so whoop your @$$ in a 1v1... I would bet my life on it bro. Matter of fact, i bet 100 or so people would make the same bet. So, remember to enjoy your win.... Leave dead people rest, God knows she earned it. I'll take her soul up on that 1v1 tbh. Im pretty sure I could wrangle her with 2 hands tied behind my back. Originally by: scutternut Note: Oh, and if you have a problem with my letting you know how i feel.... Feel free to war dec us, we all look forward to it. :o) Last time we war dec'd an alliance with which you were affiliated, THIS, and THIS happened. I was planning on throwing a dec at you, and still do. But I doubt you'll fight the massive VOLTRON Girlwiener.
Major PewPew The Dark Horses WE FORM VOLTRON	Posted - 2010.03.29 21:45:00 - [14] Originally by: scutternut Pewpew, Good luck on the petition mate, How many "toons" get traded? Toon's get traded quite often in eve, even you should know that. Oh and the time has come mate, put up or shut up. Talk all the crap you want, i still do not see a war dec. :o) You war decced a corp and allaince i was not a member of durring your tirade here. so that whole pointing to this and that.. made me LOL. You REALLY don't want us to dec you. and for you to miss the point i made about us being responsible for disbanding an alliance you were AFFILIATED with, i lold :D Affiliated with, doesnt necessarily mean "member of".
Major PewPew The Dark Horses WE FORM VOLTRON	Posted - 2010.03.29 22:09:00 - [15] Originally by: AnonyTerrorNinja Originally by: weboide Originally by: AnonyTerrorNinja Or could have achieved something significantly greater with far less planning, far fewer numbers and far less gloating that was undeniably superior that places the OP's post in a light of mediocrity, or at the very least, makes it appear average. I once got a few alts onto the inside of a corp to pew pew at two of their empire POSs (that they didn't have the standings to set back up on their own) so that they wouldn't have an opportunity to remove anything from them nor defend the things. Worked like a charm. Reinforced both without fatal incident for ourselves and managed to destroy both with the soon-following war from our other corp. Damage incurred in the POS losses is estimated to exceed 8bil at a bare minimum, with sorely bruised egos on their part as they attempted to bluff us off of their towers and do the whole puffing themselves up thing, only to lose a few ships and ultimately give up on trying to defend what was theirs. While not one of our greater achievements, it's the one I remember the most fondly. Nobody cares about your "exploits". Stop detracting from the glory of the OP and their adventures in happy socks. Also, yours wasn't in a WH, so -6 inches from your ePeen. I did say 'not one of our greater achievements'. you also said something about my scam being "lolmedicore" Im sorry you fail to see what it took to pull this off, and if you think it wasnt all that :awesome:. Can lead a r.etard to the shortbus, cant make them get on :D

Major PewPew The Dark Horses WE FORM VOLTRON	Posted - 2010.03.29 22:36:00 - [17] Originally by: scutternut In laymans terms, if you control the KB chances are high its not accruate. you're right, none of us post losses. Oh and LAWL at your "lookit our killstats" post. You're proud of the fact that for all your kills, your net points are NEGATIVE?

Capital Ships Inc. has surrendered to WE FORM VOLTRON.

Scutternut, the next objective is to dec your corp straight up. Will you all corp hop from there, too? Either way, see you in a few days.
