In regards to my corp's behavior in the form of PvP with Primary.;

We were a small corp, new to the region even when all of this went down. In the time period I was there personally, at least half of our corp was involved in roaming gangs and HD regularly, and I myself participated in regional PvP roams and fleets every night I was logged in (usually as a tackler), save one. In fact, when a Primary. ratting ship was sillily ratting in 1v, which has all of two belts and three stargates, came under attack, I undocked in an interceptor and threw myself at the attacker to buy the ratting ship time to escape. Of course, I got chewed apart against the HAC that was fitted for hunting, but it beat us losing a way-too-much-ISK-to-waste PvE-fit BS.

I only point this out because I think it's a bit unfair to lump the corps that Primary. left hanging out to dry in SP with Primary.'s behavior itself, for the same reason that Primary. is so anxious to treat us as "not really Primary." and leave us behind as they make off across space with 32 Billion ISK. Our behavior may not have matched their behavior, but I think in this particular case that might not necessarily be a bad thing.

As I sit in station in EVE, a station I will likely only be able to undock from and never dock again, unable to log in properly while I wait for my laptop, my thoughts go to this. Personally, I'd rather my reputation in combat be put in question (which can be rectified in about 20 minutes with a torrent of hot fury) than to be considered an untrustworthy ally that sells out its members and space, then makes off with the money when the deal goes sour (which will never be forgotten).

Am I bitter that my assets will likely be stuck out in 4-C and 1v-, and that I'll have to sell several month's worth of PLEX's to get back on my feet completely, rather than have what I need on hand to earn it the old fashioned way? Hell yes I am. But eventually, as EVE goes, I can rest assured that something will happen that allows me to get to them eventually.

As for the usefulness of the component corps left behind, considering us rejects that just didn't participate is bunk. The fact is, our participation in fleet ops, etc. had absolutely nothing with why we were left behind. It just makes a good excuse for why someone would leave 12-1500 pilots in a hotzone while the remaining original members have less people among whom they divide the spoils.

Hmm....

So yeah COW has been talking about removing Primay for the last 6 months on our forums.

Reasons:
1. The have no recruiting standards (everyone gets in 50 corp and only 1800 member)
2. They recruited Corps COW/GC kicked for not being an active PVP Corp
3. Our allies like Atlas didn't trust them
4. They rarely came on COW/GC CTA's that both alliances had heavy participation.
5. When Caps were involved we didn't tell Primary because well they recruited anyone and we didn't want to lose our Cap fleet because of them.
6. We killed a few of their marco rat hunters ratting in our space and they openly admitted they forgot to turn their marco (pretty funny)

Anyone who fights or pvps in the area knows who most gangs were comprised of.

Stats below for people who like to think Primary was a PVP entity.

I think the people who feel like this seem to be offended and hurt in some way. We as an alliance, did nothing but make a deal and push mergers tbh. These sorts of deals and mergers are made all the time.. its just not publicized as much as this one. :) There is no shame in our behavior and I have nothing to regret about it. The only surprise we had in all of this was HTA not being able to do what they were told they can do. All the other emo-raging and issues were to be expected. We did our part, you corp did your part, and now we are on our way's, maybe separately, but to new ventures. I wont be repetitive, just encourage you to talk to people in the know to find out the info and truth.

One thing I think that is important for me to say, and maybe I should have said this earlier. Corps were chosen based on a specific formula. It was a mixture of length in the alliance, combined with killboard activity vs. member count, and size. As we reached the limit of corps/pilots we could bring with us there were plenty of corps who were great corps with good activity that we just couldn't invite along. A good portion of the corps who are not coming are great pvp'ers. Some of them are great industry corps. It was not an easy decision for any of us as we got towards our limit. I wish you guys luck and any alliance that has you guys in the future will be a better alliance because of it.

Alright, fair enough, and a very straightforward response. Also, it's a nice sidestep from the emotional rollercoaster end of things that came barreling out of this being a forum, and I feel a good bit less like I've had an Iteron shoved up my EVE-gate. The lack of a heads-up, though, really left some of us bent over a barrel; me possibly worst of all, since I can't log in to just up and go.

That said, if I can't dock or safely undock from 1v or 4-c to get my things, I'm still screwed. If HTA had been able to keep the region as per the original deal, there would be no problem, but that deal soured and left all of the Primary. component corps left behind in a lurch, between losing assets and losing members. Quite possibly me (losing assets), most of all, for the aforementioned reasons. What can be done to rectify this, since those component corps went from safe and comfortable, to safe and tradable, to in the line of fire between politically disenchanted Alliances?

I'm sure since you've reasonably argued the purpose and method behind the actions that took place, that the middlemen-turned-victims in this mess should have some leeway. 48 hours to pack up and split is great when everyone involved logs in nightly and constantly, but anyone on vacation this week, or who might be suffering my technological troubles, is hosed.

Man I feel your pain and you have posted about it a couple of times now but dude stop whining. Get yourself a box of tissue and a romance novel and do what you always do and curl up on your couch with your ShamWoW and weep yourself to sleep.

Have a nice day.

Rumor has it that CoW is evacing from Scalding Pass and may be dissolving. I love the divine irony of this in their statements of Primary's uselessness.

Battleupdate.
Short version: Captain Grath lead us onward to victory jet again. 4-c station falled into PL hands

background:
We suspected that Atlas combined with HTA and possible AAA was gonna try kill our pos in TPP that came out of RF during US tz. Possible massive supercapital fleet since Atlas had used quit a nice cap fleet the day before.

With a small but stiff and battlescared praetorian guard of 12 guardians and prob what was 20-30 diff t2 armor hacs with their rear guard covered by goons, Captain Grath formed a less glourius than usually Fist of **** to defend the pos without much hope of keeping it. Order was to defend it as long as possible, make it as expesive as possible for the attacker, but dont go stupid/sucide about it. The POS was deemed expendable.

Then Shamis in a Deadspace fitted Damnation decided that he was gonna go afk giving armor bonuses for the rest of the evening. "dont let me die" was his last order before running to drive bike or whatnot, orbiting the tower. The Dice was trown, it was either die trying or save the POS. We could not let Shamis die.

A small AAA(Outbreak gang) passed through, and we killed some odd ratters inc a Chimera that seemed it suitable to run around with PL in local/area.
To our suprice neither Atlas nor HTA seemed to form a fleet , and we repped our guns up without meeting any resistance. Incapped cynojammer and JB with our armor hac gang without meeting any resistance besides 1-2 singel bomb attempts and a drake jumping through JB while we was killing it, only to get wake up in a new clone not long after,

We called in capitals and got our pos repped up, then Shadoo suddenly popped his head in and went "mysterical" on coms, and not soon later his leviant jumped in and we got a quick message to jump our armor hac gang through.
Korinn (Cry havoc) was scouting in local and with a slightly sad tone went "If only I had had a active alliance by now" drooling by the look of the titan.
Til our grunts Suprice a what I think was a aprox 20 man mixed gang of merry HTA ppl with a handfull caps was trying to Station swap in 4-C(old owner was primary.), we killed a few before the rest docked, inc a chimera that must have been in struckture. Station was in aprox 60% struck. We found ourself in a odd situation, as we rly didnt want any sov nor station, but as real gentlemen we cant leave someones work halffinished, so we decided to do em a favor and finish it for em. So we not-so-swiftly took the station in the honour of missing Admiral Ray Butts without meeting any resistance. Some arguing about if Goons should get it or not occured, but with only 1 goon zealot as primary dmg dealer it was deemed to be too painfull to wait for him to get the final blow.
07:47:16 Notify The station ROMANIA Renegades HQ has been captured by ElitistOps corporation!

Apprently HTA had gotten a local talk ban, so any local talk communication was deemed impossible despite our persistent attempts. We therefor found ourself stuck with a station, and not too sure what to do with it.
We therefor sended a small but honourable group of the best problem solvers PL could offer on short notice, to try to find a peacefull solution with HTA through their TS3, which failed misserable as the whole PL diplomatic envoy got perma-banned before we could even present our chase properly. So much for their open diplomatic channels.

I know i'm a 'nobody' but i felt the need to add to this already emo-tastic thread.

My Corp was a member of GC not too long ago. We were brought in to be carebears when GC first moved into SP, but we like to shoot **** too. At the time, it appeared to me that Primary was much more active PvP-wise in the area. I would often fly a few jumps over, and hop in a Primary gang that was already busy fighting nuets/reds roaming into thier space. I hardly remember CTA's or HD's being called, everyone would simply dock-up or run when DARKSIDE came rolling through. I always thought Primary where good folks (personality wise) and it felt like GC where riding on CoW/Atlas's collective coattails.

CoW might be able to stand on thier own, but i think GC would have done much better staying and growing with Primary. Mya likes to talk about the great elephant pen15, when he was hardly ever seen on the field. Mukk and Faffy seem to hold 90% of GC's PvP ability (much respect to those 2, Mukk is still my fav FC evaaa) While Mya seems to fight his battles on CAOD while shipspinning, So don't sweat anything he says, he's on a power trip. Never really got to know CoW that well so i cant say too much for those guys, character wise.

GL Primary, you guys will be just fine ( I hope) look forward to watching the KB's and seeing you roll GC (primary Mukk = Win)
