MukkBarovian: Friday Night, Dec 28
Night Watch

I have been fighting my internet company for the last several days. I havenGÇÖt been able to be on to do damage control. The best I can do is write this, but I will not do the damage control you might be hoping for. I apologize.

Yesterday a request came in for me to overrule Theng. His discontent was clearly evident. I was asked to take power to prevent him from taking the actions that would lead to BUSA leaving -A-. I refused. In all honesty I have the power. My first instinct is to avoid taking risks. By myself I would probably not take such radical actions as leaving -A- because of the danger of failure. If things go badly for one reason or another because you were proactive you must take responsibility. If the boat sinks while you sit doing nothing you at least can say, GÇ£It wasnGÇÖt my fault.GÇ¥ That attitude does not make for leadership, so Theng's plan has my approval.

Theng is making the decision and has done very well so far. I do not believe Theng is leading us into a bad place. We are going off to fly with a successful group of pilots with a sterling reputation. BUSA is joining PL.

I will not point fingers and try to blame someone else for this. I will not breach security to create forum **** for the masses reposting things. I will end my stay in -A- with a nerdy analogy.

-A- are not cowards. The call of coward was simply levied by enemies who found they could not easily harm -A- in battle. Disregard it. Some time ago, Ashemi Darkhold from hirr made the insightful observation that -A- are like Klingons. They fight enthusiastically. The alliance would not be near the top of EVE Kill if it was otherwise. In combat they are skilled and they continue to fight in increasingly hostile environments.

The ground state of a Klingon is flying a small ratty broken down ship fighting those without the same warrior ethic and skill. There is nothing impressive about the ships the Klingons fly after they uncloak and join battle. They rarely have overwhelming numbers or serious firepower on their side. They do not have a capital ship fleet. They still do very well, because they commit everything to the fight. The worst that happens to them is death in battle when they pick a fight with a strong battle ready opponent. Even then they often give that opponent a serious run for their money. When the Enterpise would get destroyed, It was at the hands of the Klingons.
This is all admirable. Unfortunately -A- also shares the negative aspects of the Klingons. They are easy to anger and lack diplomacy or tact. Pain is a rite of passage. Soft emotions donGÇÖt figure in. The terrible Klingon reputation is there and few people find the stomach to be their allies.

BUSA is leaving -A- because we are tired of the Klingon culture. We have come to demand more in conduct than a Klingon is comfortable with. I personally wish -A- well. We will not turn around and snipe stragglers on the undock. We will not breach security or run off with assets. I respect Herc and regret that I will not be working with him in the future. For the most part I care about the well being of the -A- membership. Hopefully the CEOs and FCs lead them on to green pastures. I take responsibility for the consequences of withdrawing support from -A-. If green pastures prove evasive because I am necessary to acquire them then I apologize.

It seems someone has doctored the MVN MS Paint thing in response to the new situation.

God, I wish my stay in -A- had left me that buffed. On the other hand I donGÇÖt remember dildos being involved at any point in the process.

Richter also had a statement to make regarding our changing position:
GÇ£Ever since I read someone mention BUSA was going to join PL in jabber yesterday, I've had the most rancid case of bad gas of all time. Like, I cannot stop farting and eschewing the most grotesque smell from my ass.

Is this some sort of coincidence, or is there a conspiracy at play here?GÇ¥
Maybe somebody will eventually be able to help you Richter.

-Good luck.

So...

I read Mukk's mail about oh...6 hours ago...in that time i mulled over what to write in response, and whether I wanna be nice about it or not.

The end result is...traitors don't deserve nice, and for all internsive purposes I consider this treason at the highest level. Leaving the alliance...yea that's cool...going to PL...that makes you no better than Lee Chanka whom you smacked about it not a week ago. But hey back then PL was a terrible alliance, and now they are your best friends.

People who want to remain with the alliance will be more than welcome by the rest of us, as I'm more than sure that many of you don't want to be flipping sides, As for those who have set their minds on leaving...I'm sorry but the only thing I can tell you:

...and don't let it hit you on the way out.

-Maka

BUSA's CEO sends out a very diplomatic mail, hoping to leave on good terms.

Makalu's calls him a traitor and craps all over him and his corp. You know, when -A- is gone, nobody will miss it.

So people who make the effort to tell you nicely why theyre doing what theyre doing and letting you in on their future plans deserve to be called 'traitors', sorry but I dont buy that for a second.

Tbh Makalu comes out of this in my eyes as a whiney, tantrum throwing little crybaby tossing his toys out of the pram because people chose not to do things his way. The only good thing I will say is that he does have a talent for ensuring the survival of his alliance, even if it involves repeatedly dragging its reputation through the mud.

Derp

SCDOT led an army of pets more fail than SMA and are on the verge of cascading, their greatest achievements consist of upsetting the community by making light of Vile Rat's death and being SOLAR's book keepers.

mmm karma.

2005 never forget smoske

I think you've misunderstood something.

I think you've misunderstood something. You're, perhaps, a bit too young ...

SCDOT doing that to goons isn't the same as BOB doing that to goons.

I think you have it the wrong way round RODerick!

Anyway everyones fail when they are on the opposite side of the pond, as soon as they are on your side they are fecking l337 pvp super fecking best thing since sliced bread monsters.....really who gives a feck anymore. Monet should have painted a EVE masterpiece during his blue period.

I don't know if you remember but we flew together last month, which is the main reason I dislike SCDOT.

as I said couldn't give a monkeys mate you;re blue one day red/neut the next and in 6 months time I won't remember you and you won't remember me. lol teaches me I had to look up Black Legion didn't have a clue who you were.

I'm a pretty big deal, I'm not sure you know exactly who you're dealing with.

Thats what everyone says about Razor, but you malinger like a plague.

With that line you have to be trolling otherwise you're going to get the **** taken out of you.

Maybe it's because we still have friends. vOv

you mean those people that refused to help you when you were losing your space?
