It's not a new rule. They just don't like TEST. There are multiple other TCU's that went online during this dt. TEST was not the only ones. TEST was just the only ones that got their TCU's removed.

awwww......not able to sneak in a bunch of sov claims over the extended DT. How about actually defending your next batch of TCU's when you deploy them.

Well as I see it was an extended DT, but lets be honest here cleaning those out is just a 10+ hours job of anchoring 50+ SBU's and brining out ships to take them down.
Ofc its unprecendented to anchor that way during an extended DT which gives the defenders no chance to take them down while they are onlining and I do have this lingering feeling that if a southern had done in the north it would have had the same result.
TLDR; It was better under the old sov system.

The GMs have a very strict - if completely unjustifiable - policy of not intervening in 0.0 sovereignty matters.
I think you must have just carelessly mislaid your TCUs and forged GMs mails about them being removed _

Removing the TCU wasn't the mistake but remove ONLY the TEST ones was. There were a few alliances trying to do it and succeeding. Only TEST was "punished". That is the bad thing here

This has never before been the policy of CCP, in the entire history of this game, to remove items that onlined during an extended downtime be it POS, station eggs, TCUs, or SBUs.
It would have been nice if they had mentioned this policy change to the players.

This. CCP has never before made extended downtimes special, and it has never been petitionable for items to be anchored and onlined during an ordinary downtime to be removed, even if their onlining time is less than downtime. Dropping station eggs, POSes, iHubs, SBUs, etc so that their timers are effectively shortened by downtime has never been disallowed before. Fiddling with reinforcement timers so that they end during downtime has never been disallowed before. In fact, all previous petitions relating to structures onlining or coming out of reinforce during downtime have been denied. The accepted precedent amongst GMs was to not interfere with the timers or 0.0 sov warfare. In ur engineering, fixin' ur warp core. |

Edited by: Narisa Bithon on 02/11/2010 20:54:44 test didnt do anything wrong
tcu's were only anchored in UNCLAIMED space
CCP should not have removed them because IT Alliance petitioned it... IT Alliance didnt have any tcu's online there b4 the dt either
this is a blatent misuse of GM powers
had test put sov blockades into IT claimed space then yes it would be fair for ccp to remove them but they didnt put sov blockade units in IT space they put tcu's in UNCLAIMED space.

This raises a number of issues that CCP need to create formal policy around and ensure they are consistent over time:
1. Deploying TCUs in unclaimed systems has resulted in a petition being filed by a nearby alliance. The systems in question were not owned by any one. By responding to the petition at all CCP are implying that alliances who do not claim specific space have a right to lay claim to that space.
2. The previous precedent for sovereignty items has been very hands off. GM's policy has been pretty clear - we will not interfere in 0.0 gameplay and tactics. How are CCP justifying a change in this policy and how far reaching is this change?
3. Timers have always made use of downtime. Every single 0.0 entity has utilised downtime to minimise risk when placing sov items. Whether this is right or improper gameplay has not been addressed by CCP. The actions of TEST Alliance are simply the continuation of that prevalent 0.0 policy. Why has CCP chosen to react to the movements of a relatively new alliance in such an abrupt manner?
4. The TCU's in question were not simply offlined. They were destroyed by a gm. If the main issue is of fairness of opportunity to defend and attack - why did CCP simply not offline them and allow the process of normal sov battle to commence?
The actions of CCP in regards to this situation seem dubious from the outside - I hope they make a public statement in the very near future stating the rules clearly and fairly for all - the current situation smells of favouritism.

If game mechanics allow it then it's not an exploit or against the rules. If they felt it is unfair then they should have fixed it in another patch instead of just destroying 14 TCU's or at least made an announcement of it being against the rules first.
You shouldn't punish an alliance for just using game mechanics. They didn't do anything to the people using the perfect tracking bug in WH's why would they do something like this ?

T Pretty stupid thing to do on CCP's part.. with the uhm, history here. I don't have a foot in any of this, but really curious still to hear what CCP has to say about it since other structures are obviously thrown up before DTs all the time.. not to mention the TCUs not removed in other areas of the EVE universe during this certain incident. 20 Has to leave one wondering if they do still have people in their company that play favorites in this sandbox and thus influence the game with actions to benefit someone on purpose.

Too many children whining...
Test attempted to circumvent the system... CCP said no you cant... no harm was done to test... but yet they cry? As per GM's not dealing immediately with other TCU's... those TCU's were not petitioned, nor were they on such a scale.
Petitions exist because CCP cannot be constantly aware of everything that goes on in every dirty corner of this place.

This TBH....Test are trying to rock the boat and said, woot were gonna lay 14 TCU's right before DT, they cant be shot at so if they dont get petitioned we get alot of tears from IT, if they do get petitioned we can scream that CCP is playing fav to IT and cause a big stink.. But in Testies defence all TCU's should have been promptly nuked like Testies were.

Why not just make sov items unachorable if more than 50% of the onlining time will occur during a scheduled or planned downtime?
I just can't see the problem with anyone doing anything that's allowed by the mechanics of the game. Even if it is 'metagaming'. Are you going to argue that non game resources should be petitionable too? Like using voice comms other than Eve Voice? Using them gets around limitations of the game, just like deploying TCUs before extended downtime does. And it can be even more divisive too.

lol, why is it Test and Goons seem to be spamming all topics with their endless tears?
it's sad really. instead of crying about it, go fight IT while the servers are ONLINE.
no wait..you can't, cus you know you'd get owned in any real fight with them 
It seems to me TEST and Goons are level 5 in Forum Spam skill. Literally every topic on the eve forums have at least one of them making some sort of immature comment or crying. So much time wasted on their part. They are by far the loudest and most annoying alliances in the game. I think they are fitting their reputations really well.
I dont understand why anyone would want to be famous for being the most annoying and immature people in the game. I wonder what the average age or IQ is of people in those alliances. Really, Eve needs some sort of IQ test before people can play this game. Because immature people spamming the boards like crazy are destroying Eve's reputation as a mature and serious game with intelligent people.

You are really grasping for straw here TEST and you are going to end up looking ignorant. You received all the TCUs that were taken down so what is the problem here? You didn't lose any items or isk. You can easily re-anchor those TCUs at any time. So you are really just whining about the loss of the free TCU anchor time which is not supposed to happen under normal conditions.
I'm also unable to understand how you do not know about the many CCP interventions in 0.0 SOV related items. CCP has a very long history with dealing with tons of 0.0 SOV issues and yes even issues pertaining to downtime.
This isn't even creative mechanics, you know that anchoring TCUs with effectively zero anchor time is not right. CCP fixed it, good for them. Stop whining TEST. - It's not "Play through a pre-set story, become stronger, do endgame". Gameplay is open ended, and you make your own story. Unless you're too afraid of 'pvp grief' to do anything relevant |

do you know how many other ****s has been anchored during downtime, precious to this?
how many different corps and alliances have used this tactic in the past?

For what its worth, most Test players are pretty chilled and entertaining but realistically much like any other NC tard are incapable of doing anything without exploits (nice titan respawn, nice moon goo, nice crashes) and meta gaming (nice disbanding).
Still though it is very rare we see any fun in the south, this would have at least been entertaining (assuming Test bothered to come back).

I don't know if this is still a rule on the books but it sort of (not really but it should) apply
If you look at it what test did was an active declaration of war. Granted you dont pay the whole 50 million isk thing for one alliance to dec another one but hey. Concord isnt around to kill you if you dont bother. I know that that is (or was) actually an exploit to do during any extended DT. Sov warfare is called warfare for a reason...
Really anchoring tcu and sbu anywhere should fall under the war dec rule as sov is how 0.0 people do warring.
Also some random jackoff anchoring his research tower or his egg is completely different since a tower has even for larges <1 hour online time anyways. Mediums and smalls even fit under the new 30 min dts IIRC. Eggs actually activate and turn into a station during a DT, whatever timer they have is a countdown to DT

Why are people making such a huge deal over this? It's CLEAR that Test used an EXTENDED downtime to their advantage. You are not supposed to take sov without any risk.
The title of this thread is misleading and should be changed for insighting "rumours".

For those playing at home, it looks like SBU onlining during exDT is also teh sploitz. evenews24, inaccurate on many points but the main thrust of the report is still true. Maybe someone should update the patch notes?

Miscellaneous * When moving items, the cursor is now anchored in the top left corner of the items, as it previously did. * System channels, such as Local, now persist correctly and cannot be closed. * The asset window no longer goes blank if it was open while your ship was docking. * Onlining sovereignty structures during extended downtime is no longer a valid tactic and will be reversed by GMs if (and only if) petitioned. This is a revision of GM policies to not intervene in sovereignty.

They need to just make the timers only count down when TQ is online and accepting connections.

So the upshot is you can claim to own space without having to use sovereignty structures, and you just have to submit your claim to the GMs. |

So the upshot of this is everyone in eve cant place SBU/TCU in YOUR space every time there is a major patch and insta-earn it.
Sov mechanics are there to create battles, you're trying to play WITHOUT fighting. Don't be surprised that everyone is pretty apathetic to your spamstorm. ___________________________________ WHHYYYYYY |

Trying to play without fighting? As in petitioning away opposition TCUs instead of shooting them? |

They do this and, the next down time you realize your skill queue had another hour added. Then another. And another...

You mean petitioning CCP and whining about their actions and spamming/trolling the forums about it instead of dropping more TCU's? Yes, thats exactly what I mean.

With all the bad press going around about CCP devs cheating at their own game, for years now, can you really afford not to make any statements?
I wonder why is it always like this, if someone finds and exploit, you take the hands off approach. no,no, we wont intervene even if people are printing out huge amounts of isk, or have found a way to get skills to train instantly. we will watch and observe the damage being done for a few days then ban some random dude.
your game gets sold by word of mouth, you cant afford bad press. get your heads out of each-others asses and talk to he players.
fake edit: can you tell us who is in charge for public relations, and where can he be found during fanfest?

You guys seem to be missing the simple point: For the last 5 years every single alliance or corporation that deploys multiple sovereignty claiming items, whether they be pos or station eggs, or in the last year sbus, tcus, or ihubs have made use of downtimes to minimise the risk of attack. That CCP have finally made a stand against this risk minimisation is good to see. The fact that alliance that was going to potentially lose face (not space as the space TEST attacked was unclaimed by anyone) was the lead by the same leadership as the alliance that was once home to ccp employees and had received benefits from that relationship makes those of us with long memories suspicious.
With good code CCP could have a mechanism whereby anchoring of anything sends a request to the server and if more than 25% of that on-lining time is during a downtime period the mechanism fails to online. Or with average coding have the on-lining timer pause during downtime and commence where it left of as the server comes back online.
The things you can do with good code are impressive.

The major upshot is you get sov recognised by GM's and you don't have to pay for it.

I hear good, clean code is made by taking every single possible corner-case you and your dog can think of and adding special code to handle them. Even when the special cases can be handled easily when the come up and won't affect anything except two-three times a year.
A GM removing those TCU's the few times it happens (once the first long downtime, very few times after cause everyone knows it will just be petitioned)
Clean code is good code.
Oh... and it's goon that has all the devs. (Or did before they failed)

You seem to have very selective memory. The employees you are mentioning in fact was one guy that no longer works for CCP, the alliance in question no longer exists and the people in the new alliance are all new with the exception of the very few. On the other hand, the people that benefited from moon mining exploit still fly the super capitals made from those funds and their super capitals magically re-appear when they are destroyed. The hypocrisy of your views of events that happened 5 years ago from one bad CCP apple to the current event is remarkable. Maybe you should post with your brainwashed, hypocritical goon main next time.

My memory is not selective, nor is it brainwashed. The incidents you selectively bring to the discussion do not have concrete links to CCP employees. You are right in that this game is full of dubious connections and use of exploits, it is due to this I have an intense distrust of CCP.
In regards to your attempt to tarnish me with mud slinging via association with an alliance that no longer exists, it is amusing, as is your misuse of the word hypocrisy.

Actually CCP have always removed done stuff like this, you think Test were the first ones to deploy TCUs before an extended DT lol ok, Test are the first ones to mass whine though, other alliances that arent tainted by goons tend not to give a **** when they got stuff removed.
As for the corrupted dev remark, IT had all it's warp bubbles removed due to a petition made against them and NC have had super caps spawn randomly.
Seriously what is up with people memories, if IT have a dev working for them then so does every other alliance
