Yes kids gather round, and Uncle Zorn will tell you all a story about the big nasty boogie man called "BoB".
There once was a big nasty monster called BoB, and BoB loved to pick on all things weak and easy. You see, sadly the BoB had a sad little life dedicated to "greifing" people.
Well one day the BoB came into a place called 3Z and began attacking a "small" little POS will only 3 tiny guns to protect it and thought "this will be easy" and "I can then beat on my puny chest and declare how Uber I am."
After the first attack BoB thought he would come back and destroy the little POS the next day, but big nasty BoB, being a PvPr's and not interested in learning much else did not know how POS's really work and about the wonder working power of Strontium and what it does for the reinforcement mode.
So there the small POS was, her owners inside her bubble working away, after 14 hours her reinforcement time seemed to be running out, doom hovered over the little POS like a black cloud creeping over the mountains. The final minutes began to silently drop away...tic, tic, tic...30 minutes now...tic, tic, tic.
Like yellow vomit from a sick dragon the BoB slithered out of it's dank ratholes and stops about 428KM from the troubled little POS. It's down to 18 minutes...tic..tic...tic...15 minutes.
BoB could sense his victory at hand, He knew he was about to claim his prize. With a sudden lunge the BoB looking like 14 battleships surged forward to within a scant 30 KM of the hopeless victom...tic,tic,tic...4 minutes...tic,tic,tic
Then spewing forth from the assembled mob came at least 100 drones ready to overwhelm the POS defenses...tic,tic,tic...1 minute...tic,tic,tic
Space grew silent, as only the dead of space can, the silence become almost deafening...tic,tic,tic...30 seconds...tic,tic,tic...10 seconds....tic,tic,tic....5 seconds...tic...tic...tic...tic...tic...times up...
The little POS began to wake from its slumber, "online" began to flash, in a moment it would all be over, in a moment the beast would have it's kill, havoc and murder will have it's day, the rest of the game be damned, "BoB is here to make them all miserable. I don't care...the more they hate me, the more I like it" BoB thought to himself...
But when all seemed lost, and all hope drained...the little POS suddenly seen that it's shields were below 50% and that it had a great big pile of Struntium to eat so it gobbled up some of it and went right back to sleep for another 14 hours in a deep slumber called "reinforcement". The little POS suggled up and ignored BoB as if he was not there.
BoB, sat there in stunned silence for a moment not quite beliving what he had just seen...after a few "WTFs", and several other words not permitted on this site and calling the owners of the little POS cheaters with no basis for such. The nasty BoB once and sunk back into the dark holes and flat rocks from which they had come.
And the little POS lived another day.
Moral of story? There is no lesson here just the pure statisfaction of watching some smack talking, miner hunting, noob killing, hauler ganking, <insert really foul words here> so and so's get handed a "big fat nothing" and no bragging rights for killing a weak and nearly defensless POS.
I have not such a good hoot in a long time. I am glad I was there to see it.

Now is this funny. Your posting because you hid in a POS that was in perma Reinforced mode? Isnt this the POS that FA took down today?

Let's tell a story about not one, but two, pos, shall we?
Both small, both with 4 small guns, one with a medium gun. One with hardeners, one without. Both with disruption batteries.
Let's tell a story about both pos's going down in to reinforced mode, not once, but twice in 32hours.
Let's tell a story about a 25+ FA battleship fleet (the biggest group of FA we've seen in the ENTIRE time we've been in core, since 4th July) that had to rush down to save these poor POS, losing 7 on the jump in to system.
Let's tell a story about those pos's now being unanchored, moved away, sovereignty being defaulted on the system in constellation Taurus.
Yes, let's tell that story, but in short:
1. FA had 2 pos in 3z. 2. We took both in to reinforced mode. 3. FA, because their ISK supply might be affected (and not because their alliance mates needed help, people such as HUN corp, defending core) amass a fleet to save the POS. 4. They lose 7 battleships in the process. 5. They unanchor the TWO pos's in this system and give up sovereignty on it.
Now, let me equate each of those points to how we look at this particular story:
2. We win. 3. We win. 4. We win. 5. We win.
He who laughs last, laughs longest.
We're still laughing.

To be promptly taken down and hauled off because you couldn't afford to keep it in reinforced mode for the rest of it's existance?

1). How do you know the color of a dragon's vomit.
2). Do dragons really get sick?
3). We do not slither, and our ratholes are not dank.
Such inconsistencies can only mean such a story is truely and utterly FALSE. (or crap.) -----------------------------------------------

Your pos survived thanks to a large supply of strontium.
Shame you lost all this trying to defend it.
So who "won"?
Wasn't you mate.

1. The reference to yellow was and artistic play on the overview, sorry you missed that
2. I dunno, study the topic and lemme know...mmmk?
3. That was for drama, crawling seemed to advance you to a higher level of evolution which I prefer not to grant your fleet.

Then why the hell did you spend nearly a week feeding them strontium, and sending huge battleship fleets to defend them?
Besides, even if you did intend to move them, you still lost 11 battleships defending them over the last 3 days. Either way we win.

Well, ship loses are to be expected, now killing a POS allows you some rights for serious bragging and rightly so. If your mojo was all you thought it was the POS would be dead and not removed by it's owners...right? Cheers mate!

You did want a real fight now, did you not? Are you sorry that we choose to not allow you to "take" them away as opposed to rolling over and playing dead? Be consistant old boy.

We weren't trying to kill your POS for "Bragging rights". We wanted to deny FA the ability to use them to generate income. We could achieve this goal three ways
1. Destroy the POS 2. Keep the POS in reinforced mode. (Bonus because Strontium is expensive) 3. Force FA to remove the POS.
We acheieved #3 after several days of maintain scenario #2. The POS are gone and can no longer feed FA's wallets. Mission Accomplished. Just wait till our Dreadnaughts come out of the ovens.

Soooo, your arguement is you sent all those battleships down to 3ZT to entertain us?

Edited by: DB Preacher on 21/07/2005 01:26:30 lmao @ this thread.
If you claim victory from that then gg to you.
Cost of POS: tens of millions Cost of Strontium to keep in reinforced mode: millions. Watching an FA fleet get kerplunked while trying to defend it and seeing it removed anyway: priceless.

I think the the title of this story should be "The Little POS That Could". And I think the morale of the story is that FA have the Uberest of Uber GODLIKE POS's.
